The weeks seemed to pass by in a whirlwind. Between the café and Jax, Dani managed to keep herself busy, hardly finding any time for herself. The café remained very busy, which on one hand was exciting but on the other hand very tiring. She had thought about maybe expanding the business, moving to a bigger place to handle the rise in customers, but the thought of remodeling gave her headaches so she abandoned them.

She had hired new personnel to help her ease the workload, but so far they were consuming a lot of her time since they had to be trained. Dani put Lana to the task, but she proved to be too nice to provide the new employees with any constructive criticism so she ended up doing anything by herself.

Luckily, Jax stopped by a lot, which helped her keep her sanity. Seeing him made her as happy as could be and she enjoyed every second she spent with him. Sometimes, Dani still found it hard to believe she was with him after all those years of wishing.

Dani had finally been able to take her first coffee break after a very busy morning. Her new employee Darren was managing the café alone for the first time, since she was hiding in the kitchens trying to get some peace and quiet. It would both be a test for him, as well as an opportunity for Dani to relax and try not to go insane.

She pushed herself on the counter, trying not to spill her coffee. The kitchen seemed to block out any noise coming from the café itself, much to her delight. Sometimes, she could still see Harrison laying on the floor before her, but whenever it happened she quickly tried to think of other things.

The nightmares she had were getting better, Harrison not appearing as often than before. It seemed like a good sign of progress, and Dani thanked the café for that. It kept her so busy she had hardly any time to think of anything else.

Her phone started ringing. Dani sighed as she placed her mug of coffee next to her, kind of cursing whoever was calling her during her break. She retrieved her phone from her pocket, not even bothering to look at the caller ID.

"What," she snapped. It came out a little more harshly than she had anticipated.

"You're in a good mood," Gemma's voice said on the other side of the line. "Well, I'm about to make it a whole lot better for you. Wendy has OD'd. She's in the hospital."

"Are you serious?" Dani said, clutching her phone. Wendy was still pregnant with Jax's child, what was she thinking taking drugs while carrying? Was she insane?

"Afraid I am," Gemma said. "The child has born prematurely, they're operating on him right now."

"Holy shit," Dani replied. "Does Jax know?"

"Of course. He's worried. You should go and see him, he's probably at St. Thomas. I'm going there right now."


Dani had to leave the café in the hands of Darren, but to be safe she called Lana for back up. After hearing the news she gave up her free day to work, telling her she would stay as long as was necessary. Dani didn't know for how long she'd be gone, but Jax needed her right now so it did not matter.

She spotted Jax sitting in the waiting room of the hospital. The baby had gone into surgery about half an hour ago, but they hadn't told him how long he would be in for. She quickly rushed towards him, embracing him in a hug.

"Are you okay? I just heard the news."

"Yeah," Jax said, his hands on the small of her back. "It's all happening so fast."

"I know, baby," Dani said, releasing him. She kept her hands on his neck, looking him in the eye. "I'm sure everything will be alright."

Jax took her hand and led her back to where he was seated. "I'm not sure, Dani. They say he's pretty bad. He's only got a 20 percent chance to live."

"Well, that stuff doesn't mean anything," Dani reassured him. "It's just a number so that if they fuck up they don't look bad. He will be just fine. He's a Teller, after all."

"Like that means anything," Jax replied with a half smile, referring to his father.

The fact that Jax had a son now troubled Dani a little. They had to talk about this. How were they going to make it work if the boy lived? A baby wasn't something they could just ignore and hope it would go away. Dani had hoped they still had a couple of months to figure things out, but with the baby born prematurely, they had to figure it out right now.

"Jax," Dani started, her hand on his knee. "I know this isn't exactly the best timing, but we do need to talk about this. How are we gonna make this work?"

Jax shook his head. "I don't know, Dani. Hell, I don't even know if the kid is gonna live. We'll talk about it after the surgery okay?"

Dani nodded, a little surprised by his comment. It seemed as if he was actively trying to avoid talking about it.

"I gotta call, Clay," he said, before abruptly standing up and going outside.


With Jax leaving so abruptly, Dani decided to find Wendy. She didn't know if she was allowed to visit her, but she had the sudden urge to go see how she was doing. Dani wanted to know why Wendy did it. Why did she risk both the lives of her child and herself?

After wandering around for some time on the maternity ward, Dani finally found her room. Wendy had gotten a room of her own, and when she opened the door she noticed it was very dark inside. The curtains had been left closed and Wendy herself was staring away in the dark.

Dani's heart started to pound as she set foot inside the room. Maybe this wasn't the best idea… What was she going to say? The last time she had seen Wendy was at the opening of the café and she hadn't been particularly nice to her.

"Wendy?" Dani spoke, cautiously moving closer.

Wendy looked absolutely horrible. Her hair was a tangled mess, she was sweaty and down right didn't look healthy at all. There were multiple IV's sticking from her arm and a heart monitor was bleeping in the background.

"How are you?" she continued.

Wendy turned her head around, her eyes growing wider when she saw Dani. "Have you come here to spite me?" she hissed.

"No," Dani said, shaking her hand. She remained standing next to the bed. "I just wanted to see how you were doing. This must be hard for you as well."

"Like you care," Wendy scoffed. "I know you all hate me. It's alright, I'm fine with it now."

Dani knew she was right. Before today, she wouldn't have cared, probably no one at SAMCRO cared. But after what happened Dani started thinking about how maybe she should've cared. How could they blame this on Wendy, when they weren't there to help her? Everyone knew Wendy was a junkie. This was also to be blamed on them, they should've stepped in.

"Look," Dani started. "Not everyone may like you, but you shouldn't blame what happened on yourself, okay? We weren't there to help you. I wasn't paying attention. I should've helped you."

Wendy raised her eyebrows. "Are you being serious?"

"Yes!" she continued. "We all knew you had an addiction, and we all choose to ignore it. This is as much on us as it is on you."


When Dani had returned she found that Jax had gone. Instead she had found Gemma, who told her there was some club business, telling her she should go home. Feeling very tired, Dani decided to do so, but she found herself unable to sleep until Jax was home.

She had made herself a comfy bed on the couch, taking pillows from the bedroom and a fleece blanket. The tv was broadcasting some movie, but she couldn't remember which one it was as she wasn't really paying attention.

She told herself to talk to Jax as soon as he got home. This thing about Wendy needed to be settled.

Dani couldn't remember how long she had been waiting when she finally heard the front door opening. Jax had practically moved in her house since a few weeks.

"Where have you been?" Dani asked, before yawning. What time was it?

"Something with the club, nothing special," Jax said.

"Oh," Dani replied. "Well, I went to see Wendy today…"

"You did?" Jax said a little absent mindedly. He took out a cigarette, lighting it.

Dani pushed herself out of her comfortable fort of pillows and made her way over to him. "She's in very bad shape, Jax. You should see her."

"Maybe tomorrow."

Dani's eyes fell on his shirt that was tucked beneath his hoodie. She squeezed her eyes together. Was that blood? Slowly she unzipped the hoodie, confirming it indeed was dried up blood.

"I hope this isn't yours," she said, forcing him to look her in the eyes.

"It isn't," Jax shook his head. He looked away from her gaze and moved past her, walking towards the bathroom.

Dani remained standing in the kitchen. She heard him turning on the shower. Seeing the blood brought back memories of the incident with Harrison. It also made her wonder what SAMCRO was up to a lot of the time. Maybe she did wanted to know, after all.

She always heard the saying that an old lady only makes it if she knows nothing, or everything. Maybe after all what happened, Dani was ready to know everything.


A/N: Woohoo, another chapter! I know, fast right? I wrote it in one go today and I figured, why not upload it? :) So this is where I tie it in with season 1 of SoA. It will follow the storylines except for Tara of course. Also, everything that Jax does won't be shown in detail since this story isn't written in his POV, so it won't be like you are reading every episode instead of watching, hope that makes sense. I'm gonna add some stuff to do with Dani to make it more interesting, don't you worry ;)

Anyway, like always, please review, I love reading your responses and hopefully until next time! Bye!
