Disclaimer: This is a wonderful work of fiction, I do not own SOA or anything related to it, I do however own Taru and her pretty, pretty ponies.

Catherine. alice: Here's the update.

Jessica-Angelbaby-Bautista: Thank you.

DeathsIssue: I'm not sure if that's good or bad, but there's more along the way.

Out on a Run

=Taru's P.O.V=

I watched Filip pack his rucksack and sighed softly. "You sure this is a good idea?"

"Got no choice love, I got ta go"

I pulled at a thread in the blanket and gave a nod. "I know, but you realise how much this is going to scare her, right? I mean, shit, she hardly knows me"

"Well it'll only be for the weekend," Filip murmured. "And I'm sure the two of ya can handle yourselves while I'm gone"

I rolled my eyes slightly shifting on the edge of the bed. "You realise Fiona's going to flip her shit like the other day if she calls and finds out Kerrianne's here with me alone"

"Aye," He sighed softly. "I'll deal with Fi if I need ta, beside's there's only one woman other than Gemma that I'd trust ta look after my Kerrianne and that you," He shifted grabbing his shades from the side table and checked the clip on his glock before fitting it into the holster inside his jacket. "Ya goin' ta stay off the ponies while I'm gone?"

"Me? Never" I grinned as I stood.

He shook his head lightly. "Thought as much"

"I'm untameable kulta; wild, free and slightly neurotic"

"Slightly?" He chuckled. "Bit more than that ain't it?"

"Yeah well that's torturers blood in me"

"Take care of Kerrianne for me, keep her safe"

"With my life Filip," I touched his chest lightly and left it resting there as I kissed him gently. "She may not be my daughter but that doesn't mean I'm going to let her get hurt"

"Aye," He grabbed his kutte from the bed and slung it on buttoning it up quickly. "Don't know how she's goin' ta like bein' alone with ya all weekend, she's shy enough as it is"

"Don't worry about it, we'll find something to do," I shrugged lightly. "Beside we've already found some common ground, we both like good rock 'n roll"

He gave a soft chuckle and kissed my forehead. "Aye, good"

I shook my head lightly, a small smile dancing across my lips as he threw his rucksack over his shoulder and started out the door. I followed after him and tucked my arm around his waist grinning softly and pressed a kiss to the edge of his jaw.

Kerrianne looked up as we came into the living room and smiled weakly before glancing at the bag over her father's shoulder. "Goin' somewhere Da?"

"Aye love, boys an' I got ta go on a run, the boys in Oregon need a hand with some things"

I shook my head lightly, he could be as vague as he wanted with Kerrianne but I knew better, the Oregon boys were having territory troubles with a local gang.

"When are you going to be back?"

"Sunday... hopefully, that is if we can sort this problem out with the boys"

"Am I goin' to be stayin' with Taru?"

Filip gave a nod. "Aye love, she'll take the best of care of ya while I'm gone," He looked over giving me a grin. "Ain't nothin' gets past this woman, ya as safe as can be with her"

Kerrianne gave me a small smile as she hugged her father tightly. "Be safe Da"

"I always am darlin'"

I followed him to the door and glanced out as several sets of headlights pulled up. "Be safe and don't get killed"

"Aye love, I'll be fine"

I shook my head lightly. "You always say that and then come back with a new bloody bullet hole somewhere, just make sure this one's not in your head"

He chuckled giving me a tight hug and kissed me goodbye as I handed him his helmet and keys, I gave a wave to Opie and the others and watched with my arms folded as they all pulled away, I would never ever get used to watching him ride away with his brothers with the prospect still looming overhead that he might never come back.

I stepped back inside and shut the door. "What do you say to pizza and movies?" I queried.

Kerrianne looked up and gave a small nod. "Sure"

I inhaled briefly and nodded giving her a grin motioning to the cabinet next to the TV. "Take your pick, I'll order the pizza"

I'm sorry it's been awhile and that this one is so short but I plan on having more out within the next few days. I'm not sure I'm very keen on this chap, I may have to redo it but I'm going through a serious slump right now where I want to go fuck it and just quit everything and I don't just mean my writing but life in general, so please give me a little bit of grace since I'm not feeling the best but I will post another chap in a few days.
