I sincerely thank all of you that have read this story and have not abandoned it. The violence last chapter was needed, and the circle and cross symbol was to throw the cops off track. I know that they don't have anything against the True IRA yet, but Chibs is still very pissed at Jimmy O' Phelan.

I had burned the body where the cross was, so the cops wouldn't go to Belfast for the IRA. We had still arrived at the same time though, because Tig was mad he didn't he didn't get to finish his burger and it ended up on the road.

"Oh thank god you're all safe! Gemma said, running up to us. She hugged all of us, but Clay a little longer. "Sam, Princess is feed and I walked her around. OH, don't go by that tree over there." Gemma told me. I heard Bobby come up, then on the hill where the tree was.

"Hey, who left this dog shit over here?!" Bobby shouted. I snickered, and went into the clubhouse. Tig had come in here before me, so he had already grabbed us beers. It was already nighttime, and Sam was on the couch that was on the wall with the SONS OF ANARCHY flag on it. She had a book on her lap and Chibs had an arm around her, talking to Bobby. I noticed that Sam and Chibs would roll their eyes at the same time, and then Sam even had an Irish accent when she would talk sometimes.

"Hey, you think Sam would be pissed if I tried to throw her book away for a drink?" Tig asked. I looked at the cover more carefully and noticed that it was about dolls. Looking even closer, I noticed Sam wasn't even reading the book, she was talking to Bobby and Chibs.

"You know she's not even reading it, right?" I told him. Tig looked at Sam, and then grabbed a lighter. He jogged over to her, snatched the book out of her hands, and burned it in front of her.

"Gonna try to get into my head now, huh?" Tig said, and then Sam laughed.

"Actually, no. That was a book about dogs. I have no idea why a doll was on the cover. Honestly, I forgot about it." I laughed out. Tig looked at me, the ashes on the floor, and then my dog, walking up to him wagging her tail. "Don't let her eat that. And by the way, I think it's time to go outside. Tig, wanna walk her over by the shit tree?" I asked him. He nodded, and grabbed the leash that I had moved to by the front door. Attaching Princess to the leash, he walked outside with her at tow.

"Think he fell for it?" I asked Dad. He laughed, and I moved so that I was curled up against Dad, head on his chest.

"I think he did sweetie. I think he did." Dad said, putting an arm around my shoulder. I heard Tig walk in, and then Princess jog over to us, barking at me and Dad snuggled at each other.

"She didn't have to go, did she?" Tig asked. I shook my head, and pulled my arms against my chest for warmth. A chair was pulled up for Dad to put his feet on, and a blanket covered me and him.

"What was that for Tig?" Dad asked. I opened my eyes, and saw Gemma hovering over me, smiling.

"It wasn't Tig Chibs. That was me." Gemma said, before walking away. I closed my eyes, and let sleep take me.

CHARACTER CHANGE

Sam had soon fallen asleep on next to me, head on my chest. I saw the rest of the crew come in, and then started going over to the bartender, ordering beers like crazy.

"Hey, quiet down! We got someone sleeping over here!" Jax said, smirking. I nodded, thanking him.

"Gemma, tell Clay that I won't be able to clean up tonight, and that I'll be a little busy." I asked her.

"Yeah. By the way, I'm proud of you. Sam is so much like you. Sam inherited your Irish accent too with a bit too much of attitude. You two have gotten so close, even though she's 22. I know you had wished you had been there to save her to. Just be here now." Gemma said, walking away. Tig walked over, and laid Princess down next to Sam so she could warm up Sam's uncovered feet.

"She inherited your feet too." Tig said, before walking to the bar. I looked at Sam who had a smirk on her face, and suddenly, doll's appeared after Tig had pulled down a lever and dolls appeared in front of him singing.

"Good girl." I said, falling asleep too.
