It was amazing how fast Gemma could put together the fundraiser. The week had hardly passed since she had announced she was organizing it, yet here Dani was, standing in the park at her fundraiser. There were various stands selling baked goods and the cops had organized a barbecue stand. Children could buy balloons, play games and all the way in the back of the park a stage was put up. Bobby was performing as Elvis and some local bands would also perform later on.

Seeing everyone pitch in to help her made her feel a little overwhelmed. She knew she had the support of Charming, but never did she dare to dream she would receive so much support. If only Harrison could see her now.

"You like it?" Gemma said, standing next to her.

Dani nodded, smiling. "I love it. Thank you so much for this, Gemma."

"No problem," she replied.

Dani couldn't wipe the smile off her face. The fundraiser was everything she had hoped it would be and more. Even if they wouldn't raise any money at all, she didn't mind. The support she had gotten was worth more to her than all the money in the world.

She spotted Jax approaching in the distance. Dani walked towards him, their eyes meeting. "Hey," she greeted him, wrapping her arms around his neck to give him a hug. "Thank you for this."

"I would do anything for you, you know that," Jax replied, his hands on her waist.

Dani let the words sink in, wondering to what measure he meant them. Over the past few weeks they had definitely gotten more close, but she asked herself if Jax's feelings for her where the same as she had for him. Dani loved him since she could remember, but he had always been quite the womanizer. Maybe she was just delusional, and all of this didn't mean anything.

"We even have fireworks later on," he continued.

"Really?" Dani smiled. "I love fireworks."

"I knew that. Come on, let's go check out Bobby."

She nodded. Jax pushed her softly forward, his hand rested on her waist as they moved closer to the stage. Dani had to give it to Bobby, even though he didn't look like Elvis, he did sound like him quite a bit.

Someone in the crowd caught her attention. Dani squeezed her eyes together to look better and she couldn't believe who she was seeing. "Is that Wendy?" she mumbled to Jax.

Jax looked to the direction she pointing to. "What is she doing here?" Jax sighed. Dani had a bad track-record with Wendy, but this was her day, and she wouldn't let anyone ruin it, not even Wendy or Ima.

"Just ignore it, Jax," Dani said, although she had to admit she was really curious in Wendy's reason for being here. Dani hadn't quite forgotten about her drug use, but guessing by the look of her clean clothes and washed hair, she wasn't using, at least not today.

"Nah, I'll go talk to her. See what she wants," he said. "I'll be right back."

"I'll go find Juice," Dani replied, not wanting to be left alone in the big crowd.

She found Juice sitting at a picnic table, a glass of beer in his hand. "Hey," she greeted him, sitting opposite of him.

"Is that Wendy?" Juice asked, raising his eyebrow.

"Yep," Dani replied.

"You okay with her being here?"

Dani nodded. She couldn't possibly start a fight with every woman around Jax. Even though she was desperate to be with him, she couldn't force him into anything he didn't want. "Sure."

Juice cocked his head, probably not believing her, but Dani had to fool herself into thinking it didn't matter Wendy was being here.

Her eyes followed Jax and Wendy closely. He didn't seem to embrace her in a hug when he approached her, instead he confronted her with something. Dani wished she could hear what they were talking about, but there was no way for her to know. The only thing she could do was watch them talk and keep wondering.

"You still love him, don't ya?" Juice remarked.

Dani turned her head around to face him, surprised by his comment. She wanted to lie, but she couldn't. Juice had seen right through her. "Yes," she replied.

"I could tell," he said, a soft smile playing on his lips.

"It's not like I have a chance."

She had thought about this often. How was she going to make it work? Her having a business while Jax was always busy with the club. The only time they were able to see each other was in the morning and in the evening or when Jax came to the café. A relationship needed more time than they had, but nevertheless she was willing to give it a go.

"Of course you do. You just need to show him he needs you," Juice said before taking another sip. "Because he does need you, you know."

Dani nodded slowly, letting his words sink in. "What do you think they're talking about?"

She turned her body again to look at them. Wendy had her back faced towards her so she couldn't see her expressions, but by the looks of it, Jax didn't look happy. He ran his fingers through his hair before asking her something. Wendy replied with a nod.

"Not sure," Juice said.

"What the fuck is she doing here?" Gemma demanded, appearing next to the picnic table. She had her hands on her hips as she too watched Jax and Wendy closely. Just like Dani, Gemma had never liked Wendy, claiming she was a junkie whore. Dani didn't know if she was a whore, as that wasn't her business, but she was definitely a junkie. "I'm going to find out."

Dani pulled Gemma back by her arm before she could go. "No, let them talk. Jax will tell us."

She knew Gemma didn't like to do what she was told, but this time she listened to her and sat down at the picnic table. How Jax hadn't noticed the three of them staring, was a mystery to her. The three of them kept watching them closely. When they appeared to be finished talking, Jax turned around, spotted them, and walked towards them. Quickly they all turned around as if they hadn't been closely staring at them, acting normally.

Dani felt butterflies rise in her stomach as Jax approached. She had a bad feeling about this, but she wouldn't know anything for sure until he told them what was up.

"Can I have a word, ma?" he asked. He remained standing behind Gemma, not bothering to sit down. Dani looked at him, a soft smile on her lips, but the smile was not returned. Instead, she was blatantly ignored.

"Yeah," Gemma replied, standing up, following Jax to a place where they could talk privately.

"That doesn't sound good," Dani said, once they disappeared in the distance.

"I'm sure it's nothing," Juice tried reassuring her. "Don't worry about it."

But Dani couldn't help it. How could she not worry about Jax when Wendy turned up out of nowhere? Plus he didn't look happy, something must be up. She figured she could maybe talk Gemma into telling her.

"I gotta get the fireworks ready, I'll see you later, okay?" Juice softly squeezed her shoulder after he got up.

Dani was very thankful for all the people trying to talk to her. This way, she didn't have to think about Wendy. She even managed to avoid her all the time, not bumping into her once. The people of Charming made her feel safe. She knew if Harrison were to come back, everyone would have her back. Dani made a mental note never to move out of Charming, as she doubted she could find a community spirit like this anywhere else.

Once it was getting dark it was announced the fireworks would be fired off soon. Like he promised, Juice had found her again, but Jax and Gemma were nowhere in sight. "Everything good to go?" she asked.

"Yep, it's all been set up. Opie will take care of it."

"You are a great friend, Juice," Dani smiled. She couldn't live without Jax, but she couldn't live without Juice either. He had always been there for her and she vowed to always be there for him as well. She knew the club could give him a hard time.

Juice smiled and gave her a hug.

The fireworks show was perfect, although it would've been even more perfect if Jax would be here. Afterwards they had announced how much money they had raised and Dani almost cried from happiness. With all that money she could buy everything she needed for the café. It would look even more beautiful than before.

Dani softly closed the door behind her, tired of the day. It had had it's ups and downs but overall she felt very happy. She reminded herself to put up a sign at the store tomorrow, telling the customers it would open soon. They deserved that, to say the least.

She sat down on the couch, kicking off her sneakers and putting her feet on the table. Dani pushed herself upwards slightly so she could retrieve her phone from her pocket, her fingers darting over the keypad to dial Gemma.

She picked up soon enough. "You want to know what Wendy had to say, don't ya?"

"Well, yes," Dani replied honestly, wondering if she was that predictable.

"He told me not to tell you, but you deserve to know."

She had butterflies in her stomach again, suddenly asking herself if she wanted to know the truth, but she told herself to be strong. There was no hiding from the truth.

"Wendy is pregnant. She's saying it's Jax's."

A/N: Yay for cliffhangers! But seriously, I couldn't keep Abel out of the story, it wouldn't seem right. How is Dani going to respond tho :P I'm currently planning out everything, trying to tie it in with season 1, but it's proving harder than I thought. Anyways, please tell me what you want to see happening or what you think is going to happen, and maybe I'll write it in the story if I like it! Take care :D
