Sam rolled over in the bed and moaned when her phone kept ringing. She looked at the caller ID and seen that it was Juice. She sighed and put the phone back down on the night stand. She tried to go back to sleep but got interrupted with a loud banging on the door. She let out a small yell of frustration as she got out of bed and stormed over to the door all ready to kill whoever was on the other end. She yanked the door open and Juice and Jax were standing there looking at her. "Sam I tried calling you-" she rolled her eyes and slammed the door in their faces. Jax let out a small laugh when he caught the look on Juice's face. "She's not really a morning person. You have to coax her out of the room." Jax informed his brother not offended by Sam's behavior. Jax pulled a bag out of his pocket and knocked on the door again. "Sammy I have your crack right now. Come on out and open the door for me sweetheart." Jax coaxed in a little voice. He turned back to Juice and winked when Sam opened the door again. She held out her hand and he placed the bag in her hand. She looked inside it and there were a bunch of starburst jelly beans inside. She grabbed a couple and plopped them in her mouth. Juice watched her mood change instantly as she held the door open further for them to walk through. "So what brings you guys here so early in the morning?" Sam asked sitting down at the small motel table and started eating her jelly beans. Jax sat down across from her as Juice chose to sit down on the bed. "So you know that we needed 100k to give to the Irish so they would continue to sell us the guns." Jax started as Sam nodded her head. "Yea I know all about it Mckeevey is suppose to be coming tomorrow for the money. How is that coming?" she asked him. "Well the club was able to get 30k on our own and we're waiting to hear back from Gemma about Luann fronting us the money." Sam snorted at that response. "Please boys you have better luck getting her legs to open then you do getting your hands on her money. My mom use to work for her and trust me you're gonna have a rough time getting some money off of her." Sam laughed as she put more jelly beans in her mouth. "Well can you either talk to Luann or help us out with the money issue?" Jax asked her quickly. She looked in thought before she nodded her head. "I know I can get you 10k right off the bat, but most of my money is still in the night club's accounts and I can't access any more than that with raising red flags." she explained. Jax nodded. "OK the 10k will have to work." he stood up and motioned for Juice to follow him. "Come by the clubhouse later and we'll work out details." he told her from his spot by the door. Juice stopped to look at her. "OK I have to ask. What's with the jelly beans?" he asked her. Sam exchanged a look with Jax before she looked back at Juice. "When I was younger I went to the store to get a chocolate bar. Some bullies were out and took my money. Jax and Opie were there and beat them up. They gave me my money back plus some and then they bought me jelly beans. We've been best friends ever since. And I just really like the Starburst flavor." she explained to him. Juice looked like he wanted to say more to her but couldn't with Jax standing right there. "We'll see you later Sam. Come by the hospital later Abel is getting out of the toaster today." Jax informed her with a big smile. She smiled back at him. "I wouldn't miss it for the world." she told him.
Sam walked into the club later that day and seen Jax washing blood off of himself. "What the hell happened to you?" she asked concerned and confused. "Don't worry its not mine." he assured her as he threw her a small baggy. She looked at it and rolled her eyes. "This is Darby's isn't it?" she asked but already knowing. "Yea it is." he confirmed. Everyone else stood around as it got passed around. "This rock has been stepped on so many times its barely a narcotic." Juice stated. "I'm telling you Clay, Darby is making his move up selling up at the Lumber Jack. We need to take care of him. We need to send this Nazi prick a message." Tig suggested just wanting to be in a fight with someone. Sam and Jax shared a look. "Why don't we just talk to the driver? See where he's been buying his meth." Jax suggested. Clay nodded. "You three take care of it." Clay said making Sam follow Jax and Opie out the door.
Sam walked through the hospital doors with Opie beside her and Jax in front. She looked toward the elevator and spotted two guys who looked out of place. "Darby's guys; that can't be good." Jax stated as they walked down the hall toward the driver's room. They finally found it and walked inside. The driver looked worse then when he had his accident. He was wheezing and beat up really badly. "Damn man that's really bad." Sam exclaimed as they crowded around the bed. "Who did this to you?" Opie asked standing beside Sam. "Nords." the driver told them. "Why?" Sam and Jax asked at the same time. They shared a look as Opie rolled his eyes before they turned back to the man. "I was in deep with Darby on my crank debt." he explained to them. Sam stood back and watched the door as she let Jax finish talking to the guy. "Where are you buying at?" Jax asked him. "Up in Pope." Jax and Opie nodded. "You're not buying in Charming?" Jax asked for clarification. The man shook his head. "No man you can't score shit in Charming." Sam scoffed at that. "At least you guys are still doing something right." Jax turned to give her a glare and Opie ignored her. "Anybody you want us to call for you?" Op asked. "No man Oswald is going to fire me once he realizes that tanker was empty." Sam gave him a confused look. "What the hell are you talking about?" Jax asked caught off guard. "Darby's guy when they came and beat the shit out of me took my keys and said that the tanker was payment." he explained to them. Sam stood out in the hall and waited for Jax and Opie to come out. Once they did Sam stood straight up. Jax came to stand beside her. "Alight, we're going to go after that tanker that's our 15 grand. You stay here in case Darby's boys come back." Jax told Sam. She sighed but nodded her head.
Sam sat in the waiting room when her phone started to vibrate with a text message. She opened it and it was a text from Juice.
'What are you doing?' She caught herself smiling before she responded to the message. 'Jax has me on babysitting duty ); What are you doing?' She put her phone back in her pocket and picked up a magazine to look through it. Her phone vibrated and she looked at it again.'Sack and I are out towing right now. I wish I could see you instead (;' She rolled her eyes at the cheesiness of the message. She looked up as Tig walked up to her. She didn't respond to the message and stood up to stand beside him. "What's going on?" she asked him. "Clay wanted me to come pick you up. He said that you're giving us 10 grand." Tig said as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder and led her toward the elevator. "Yea, we just have to make a stop to the bank and we can head back." she told him with a smile. "Thank you for doing this. You know that we would never take your money otherwise but its important." Tig tried to assure her. Sam smiled and wrapped her arm around his waist. "Have I ever told you that you're my favorite?" she looked up at him and smiled. He looked down at her and kissed her on the head. "I already knew that baby girl." he said to her as she got on the back of his bike. She laughed as he took off toward the bank.
They made it back to the club with her money as they watched an ambulance get driven into the garage. "What the hell?" Sam murmured. "I don't know but let's go check it out." he helped her off his bike and started to walk toward the garage. Sam followed beside him with her bag full of cash on her shoulder. They walked quickly to the garage and seen Juice close the doors. Juice turned around quickly almost bumping into Tig. "So you stole an ambulance?" Tig asked sarcastically. Sam let out an amused laugh as she took in the scene before her. "I had nothing to do with this!" Juice defended himself as he pointed to Half Sack to take all the blame. Sam laughed as Kip looked nervous as hell. "It was all me. These things are like 100 grand easy." he defended his action. Sam felt Juice come to stand beside her and felt his hand lightly graze her hand causing her to get butterflies in her stomach. "Yea they are. That's why state and federal agencies buy them." Clay laughed from the side. Sam laughed and she felt Juice's hand sit lightly on her waist. She wanted to lean back against him but was afraid of the club's reaction. "Alright! So let's do this!" Kip said not getting the bigger picture. "So what do you want me to do? Sell a stolen vehicle to the government?" Clay asked clearly amused with the situation. Sam giggled as everyone waited for Kip's response. "Well no...maybe just some small hospital or something." he hesitated knowing that they weren't taking him serious. "Why couldn't you just steal a fire engine. Then we could have our own rescue mission!" Tig exclaimed and everyone laughed. Juice squeezed her waist slightly before he moved away from her as Jax walked into the garage looking at the ambulance in pure confusion. "What the hell is that?" he asked them. Sam wrapped her arm around Jax and shook her head. "You really just missed a good laugh." she laughed as Chibs joked around with Kip. "Did you have a chance to talk to that tanker driver?" Clay asked getting back to business. "I did. Turns out that Darby is selling his crank in Pope. That's where the driver filled up his tank with diesel; that I just sold to Unser." Jax said smugly as he pulled out the 15k they needed. "With Sam's money we're now flush for the Irish!" Jax informed them. All the men starting shouting out. Sam glanced over at Tig who looked like he was pouting. She walked over to him and put her arm around him. "Don't let him get to you Tiggy. You know he's always full of hot air." she teased him.
Sam walked outside with Jax as he carried the money for the Irish. They met up with Tig and Clay who were standing by the bikes waiting on them. Jax threw the bag at Tig. "You're gonna need that." he said sarcastically. Sam elbowed him in the side lightly. "Yea I guess I will." Tig retorted back. Sam rolled her eyes at the men being childish. Juice ran up to them and smiled. "I need to borrow Sam for a minute." Jax looked at her confused but she ignored him. She tried to hold in her smile as she followed Juice back into the clubhouse. She followed him to his dorm. Once the door was closed behind them he pushed her against the wall and attacked her lips with his. She moaned in surprise as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. He pulled away and moved down to plant open mouthed kisses along her neck. "I've been wanting to do this all day. You've been driving me crazy." he whispered huskily in her ear. She pulled his head back up to kiss him again. She felt him push himself further into her as his hands roamed all over her body. There was a sudden pounding on the door causing them to jump in surprise. "Sam! I'm leaving for the hospital. If you're coming let's go!" she heard Jax yell out from the other side. "Shit!" she cursed softly pushing Juice away from her so she could straighten out her clothes. "I'll be out in a minute! Juice is upgrading my phone!" she shouted out to Jax as she looked in the mirror so she could fix her hair and lipstick. "How long are we going to keep hiding this from them?" Juice asked a bit hurt that Sam was still trying to hide the fact that they were making out. She sighed and faced him. "Its best that no one knows and makes a big deal about it." she leaned forward to steal another kiss from him. "I'll see you later." she smiled at him before she turned and walked out of the room leaving him in a very bad situation.
She walked outside to see Gemma sitting in the parking lot waiting for her. She slid in the car and looked to see Gemma giving her a funny look. "What?" she asked when Gemma just shook her head. "You have a hickey on your neck doll." Gemma informed her with a tone. Sam pulled her hair down so it was covered. Gemma started laughing at her. "You're going to end up ruining that boy." she told her as she pulled out of the parking lot. "What are you talking about?" Sam asked her not wanting to get into an argument. "Juice has it bad for you and you don't even see it. You're just going to use him up and leave when you're good and ready." Sam rolled her eyes at her. She turned to face her mother figure who has been in her life through it all. "Just so you know Juice knows that I'm going back eventually and that I don't want anything serious. We are both consensual adults who want to have some fun that is all this is." She said trying to sound firm and sure but deep down she knew she was lying to herself. Gemma looked at her like she didn't believe a word she just said. "Who you trying to convince me or yourself?" Gemma retorted as she turned her focus back to the road.
Not another word was spoken as they finally reached the nursery where Jax was waiting for them. "What took you guys so long? I've been sitting here for like 10 minutes waiting on you guys." Jax complained. Sam rolled her eyes and ignored him. "Well I'm sorry sweetheart but we had to have a little girl chat that's all." Gemma told him as she stood beside him and waited. Sam came to stand on the other side of Jax as he sat down in the rocking chair as Tara brought him out and walked over to Jax. Sam had tears in her eyes as she watched Tara place Abel in her best friend's arms. She watched in happiness as Jax went from a biker outlaw to a father in all of three seconds. "I hate to break it to ya kid, but I'm your old man." Sam leaned down and hugged him. "I love you Jax." she whispered as he kissed his cheek. He looked up at her with happiness. "I love you too Sam. I'm so glad you're here. I don't know what I would do without you." He grabbed her hand and squeezed softly. She let go of him and followed Tara and Gemma out of the room so Jax could be alone with his kid.
Gemma pulled Sam out of her seat quickly. "Whoa! Hey, what's going on?" Sam asked confused as Gemma quickly dragged her out of the hospital to the car. "There has been a shooting. Someone got shot but I don't know who. We need to head over to the clubhouse now." Gemma told her as they got in the car. Once they got to TM both woman rushed in to find out what was going on. "What happened?" Gemma asked Tig who shook his head. "Ask him." he pointed over to Clay and Gemma sighed in relief. Sam walked over to Tig and pulled him into a hug. "Are you OK?" she asked him and he nodded. "I need a drink." he said before he pushed her away and headed to go get a drink. Sam gave Jax a look and walked over by him. "Holy shit! When did we get an ambulance?" Gemma asked as she peeked inside. "Numb nuts stole it." Sam heard Chibs exclaim. "We're going to patch up the Irishman." Clay told them. "What do you need us to do?" Sam asked sensing the seriousness of this outcome. Clay looked between Gemma and Sam. "We're going to have a full house tomorrow. You're going to need to prep; plenty of food and booze." he told them. Gemma nodded. "I'll get the girls into it." she told him. Sam sighed as she turned to Jax and pulled him into a hug. "Are you OK?" she whispered to him. He shook his head. "No I'll talk to you about it later." he told her before Gemma pulled him into a hug. "I love you." Gemma told him before she grabbed Sam's hand to pull her to help with the preparation.
Sam sat at the bar while Gemma was going through the shelves and telling her what to write down. They were going to make a late night trip to Wal-Mart and get everything that they needed. Gemma walked into the back to check the kitchen to check what all they had back there. Sam heard her name being called. She looked over and seen Chibs motioning for her to come to him and Juice. They had Cameron Hayes laid out on the table who was passed out from the pain. "Sam hand me another towel." Chibs commanded. She nodded and ran over to the spare linen closet and grabbed a couple of towels. She ran back over to them. "Here hold right here." Chibs said showing Sam what to do. She looked up and seen that Juice was watching her. "I'll be right back you two." Chibs told them before he walked off to find what else they could use. Sam sighed and turned around to face Juice again. He looked at her and smiled softly. "Hi." he told her. She gave him a look and laughed lightly. "You're such a goof. We both are trying to keep this guy alive and you just say hi to me." she said completely amused. He smiled at her. "At least I get to spend some time with you." he told her. She locked eyes with him and felt something shift. She started to realize that she had feelings for him. Who else could she be bloody with trying to keep someone alive and laugh and joke like its not life threatening?
