After last night, she had finally convinced Jax to come along to the baby, visit him for the first time. But today had proven exactly how much time the club consumed. Jax was to go on some sort of run to Nevada. There was a problem with one of their businesses. He didn't need to elaborate what business exactly, as Dani knew from the start they were dealing in guns.

She felt a little sad he had to leave, but decided to visit the baby anyway. Since she settled on being a guardian, any bonding time between the two of them would be good. Maybe Abel could even grow up thinking Dani was his mom.

The more she thought about it, the more she was starting to get excited about the idea of becoming a mom. Gemma was right, nobody is ready for a kid. But Dani would make sure she would always be there for him, especially since Jax was away so often.

He told her he would be back in the evening, giving Dani the entire day to herself. In the morning she could work in the café and during the visiting hours in the evening she could visit Abel. Dani wasn't ready to call him her son yet, but she figured it would only be a matter of time before she could see the kid as her own.

"Say goodbye to Jax," she told Bruce. The pup skipped towards Jax, trying to bite his shoelaces playfully.

"I'll see you tonight, okay?" Jax smiled, he cupped her face before giving her a long kiss. "We'll go and see Abel tomorrow. I promise."

"I'd like that," Dani replied, giving him one last kiss before he really had to go.


The sterile smell of the hospital greeted her when she walked in. Today she decided on visiting Abel alone, as she really wanted to see him without Gemma stressing about Wendy or some other stuff.

Luckily she still remembered where his room was, so navigating towards it wasn't hard. She had found it soon enough. The blinds of the room were closed to give Abel a little privacy. Before she went in, she disinfected her hands. Taking in a deep breath, Dani opened the door.

Abel looked exactly the same as the day before. He was asleep in his incubator, his heart beating softly. A smile covered her face as she moved closer. Abel was going to be her son.

"Hey, Abel," she whispered when she reached him. She didn't know if he could hear her, but she'd like to believe he could.

Her eyes scanned every inch of his little body. His hand was so tiny and cute. It was as if she was beginning to notice all kinds of things about him that she hadn't seen the last time she had visited him.

The fact that Abel was going to be her son was exiting and scary at the same time. The baby would grow up calling her mommy and she would buy all kinds of presents for him. Yet the prospect of Wendy wanting custody was also there. Dani decided not to think about it and focus on Abel.

Managing everything was going to be hard, but she was blessed with a mother-in-law who would help her out in any way she could. Besides, Dani figured she could probably get Lana to babysit a few times as well, if necessary. It seemed as if everything was working out the way she wanted it to go.

The door opened. Dani turned her torso to see who was entering. "Hello," she said kindly to the nurse.

"Hello," the nurse replied with a smile. She was carrying a file which contained all the data about Abel.

"How's he doing?" Dani asked, looking at the file to see if she could pick up on something.

"Absolutely fine," the nurse said. "He´s a strong little boy."

"Yeah. He is."

Jax had also been born with the family flaw, but he never had any problems with it. His heart was working great, so Dani figured Abel's heart would turn out exactly the same. Like father like son.

"In a few days he can come out of the incubator," the nurse continued. "He's making good process. If he keeps this up, he can most definitely come out."

Dani's eyes lit up. "Really?" she smiled.

"Yeah," the nurse replied. "We'll monitor his vitals for the coming days and we'll definitely let you know if he's ready to leave the incubator."


Dani got a text message during the day from Jax that he wouldn't be back until tomorrow morning, so she didn't have to wait up for him. Since his text was a little vague, Dani decided to call him, asking for a little clarity. They didn't run into problems did they?

It took a while before Jax picked up, instantly making Dani concerned. "Hey," she spoke once she heard Jax's voice. "Everything all right? Your message was a little vague."

"Yeah, sorry babe. I didn't have much time," Jax said. Dani could hear people talking in the background.

"Problems?" she asked.

"We're patching over the Devil's Tribe. There's a party after so it will be some time before I get home."

Patch over's didn't happen that often, so this was definitely a special occasion. Dani had never witnessed one before.

"You got a place to sleep?"

"Yeah, we're all going to crash at their clubhouse."

"Okay," Dani nodded. "Don't go too crazy, okay?"

"I'll see you tomorrow," Jax chuckled.

"I love you," Dani said before he was able to hang up.

"I love you too, babe."


She got woken up by the sound of someone unlocking the door. Her first reaction was to grab her bag from the ground in which she had hidden her gun, but when she heard Jax's voice talking to Bruce she relaxed again.

Dani pushed herself on the bed after hanging on the floor, trying to grab her bag. Jax walked in, a soft smile covering his face.

"I've missed you," he told her.

"I've missed you too," she replied, smiling just as much.

He moved forward and crawled on the bed, leaning in for a kiss.

"Everything go alright?" Dani asked, her hand in his neck while he sat opposite from her.

"Yeah," Jax replied. "The Devil's Tribe are now officially SOA."

Dani gave him a kiss again. Even after being apart for only one day, she had already missed him a lot. She was in deeper than she thought.

"I'm going to take a shower, you wanna join me?" Jax said, raising his eyebrows suggestively.

"I gotta finish some paperwork," Dani said, looking at her watch. "I'll make it up to you later, okay?"

"Sounds good," Jax said with a mischievous smile, before disappearing out of the room.

Dani leaned back for a moment, his kiss still lingering in her lips. If she didn't had to work a late shift at the café, she would've stayed in bed with him all day.

She got up and wrapped herself in her silk robe, as she didn't feel like getting dressed for now. While heading to the kitchen for breakfast, she passed the bathroom. Jax often let the door wide open, and she couldn't help herself to peek inside.

Sometimes she wondered where Jax got his muscular body from, as he never really worked out. Dani figured it was just good genetics and it immediately made her mind wander to Abel, wondering if he would get muscular and tall as well when he got older.

Before stepping into the shower, Jax had placed his clothes on the ground. Not wanting them to get wet or wrinkly, Dani decided to pick them up. After such a long day, it would be best for her to wash them. Jax had a very long ride behind him, going all the way to Nevada and back in one day.

Dani gathered the clothes in her arms, taking them to the washing machine. She reached inside his pockets, making sure there wasn't anything in them that could clog the washing machine or could be break because of the water like his phone.

With her fingers she felt a piece of paper. She retrieved it, placing it inside her own pocket. The rest of the clothes she stashed in the washing machine, except for his cut which wasn't allowed to be washed.

After making sure all the settings were correct and pressing start, Dani retrieved the piece of paper again. She knew it was probably not in her place to look what it said, but she told herself she had to check if it was worth keeping or not.

Very curiously, she folded it open, letting her eyes scan the paper. In the bathroom, Dani heard Jax stepping out of the shower.

It felt like her heart stopped beating when she read what it said. Someone had written a phone number on the piece of paper, followed by the words, call me. A tiny heart was scribbled in the corner.

Jax poked his head around the door. He only had a bath towel covering him. "Hey," he said. "What are you doing?"

Dani's fingers started to tremble. "What is this?" She extended her arm to show him the note. Once he read it he ran his fingers through his hair, a concerned look covering his face.

"Dani," he began.

"Don't fucking lie to me," Dani spat. "What is this?"

She had heard stories about what happened on runs and patch over's before, but never did she dare to think those stories also applied to Jax.

He remained silent, which confirmed what she had already speculated. He had cheated on her.

"I want you out of my house," she ordered, trying to fight back the tears.

"Dani," Jax tried once again.

She turned around, yanked the washing machine open and pulled out his clothes before throwing them before his feet.

"I want you out now!"


Her hands trembling, she dialed Gemma's phone number. Dani needed someone to talk to right now. Somewhere she still hoped she would wake up from this terrible nightmare. Somewhere she still hoped this all wasn't true.

Dani had convinced herself she was the one for Jax. She was convinced he would stay faithful to her, but he had proven her wrong. How could he go from outing his love for her, to cheating on her? Dani simply didn't understand.

"Gemma?" she said, her voice raspy. "Jax cheated on me." Dani cut right to the chase, wanting to get it off her chest.

"Shit," Gemma replied. "You sure?"

"Yes," Dani replied. She couldn't control herself anymore. Tears started flowing down her cheek. "It happened last night."

"Fucking asshole," Gemma said. "During the patch over?"

"Yeah."

"Usually these things don't come back with them. Stuff like this happens, Dani. You gotta be cool with it because it's gonna happen more often. Clay does it, but as long as I don't know about it it's fine. What happens in Nevada, stays in Nevada."

How could she basically pardon this behavior? If she was going to be with Jax, he was going to have to commit himself to her 100%, and if he couldn't, this thing between them would be over. All of a sudden Dani regretted to agree being Abel's guardian.

How could I have been so stupid?

"Are you serious, Gemma?" Dani said. "If being an old lady means that you have to accept your partner cheating, then maybe I'm not cut out for this."


A/N: Okay, please don't hate me! But to be fair, this kinda had to happen. Jax cheats about 3/4 times on Tara in the series so I guess I couldn't leave it out of this story. Besides sleeping around is also very much part of the whole MC world so I didn't want to ignore it. So once again, DON'T HATE ME please :( To reassure you, they'll get back together again (don't worry). Unlike the series, my story will have a happy ending ;)

Anyway, let me know what you think of this plot twist and what you think/want to happen! :D See you next time!
