Bri POV

I sat across from my older brother. His face was set in a serious expression as he looked at me.

"What?" I laughed. "Do I have something on my face?"

"No." He shook his head. "Just surprised that you asked me to lunch."

"You're my brother." I smiled. "I love you regardless of any shit that has happened. Which leads me to the reason I asked you to lunch."

"Which is?" His eyebrows were raised in curiosity.

"I need you to help me remove the Eagle." I held his thumbs. "Please? I never ask or expect shit from you, I just need mom out of the way and I'm willing to work shit out between us. Like give you money or something."

"I'm listening." He smiled.

"How much will it cost me to have you stab her in the back? We take out mom and step dad and we're the only faction in tact, you can easily swoop in and run the Eagle. You can merge with the Skull and have unlimited power." I sighed.

"Ten million, a college fund for Monica, and I don't want power like that. I want a little syndicate in the bay area. Moni wants to be closer to her Auntie Bri and Uncle Hap." He ran his tumbs over the top a of mine. "Help me set up something here and we have a deal. Just clue me in on the plan."

"Sounds fair enough. You want a gang, MC, or what?" I blinked at him.

"Gang." He nodded. "Doesn't have to be the best, it just has to have potential."

"Color preference?" I smiled as the waitress set our food down and eyed my brother.

"Brown." He nodded at her. "Thanks."

"Byz Lats." I smirked. "Still standing, been recruiting. I know the leader. Dude named Fiasco. Mouth full of silver teeth, he's loyal, dependable, dedicated, malleable."

"Set up a meeting." He squirted an obscene amount if ranch on his salad.

"I will." I smiled. "You gonna eat that?" I pointed at his burger.

"Kat." He laughed. "I barely got my food and you're already trying to poach it."

"Looks better than mine." I rolled my eyes. "I prefer if you call me Bri."

"I can't." He frowned. "Too American sounding. Kat, you're not American, you're far from it."

"I know." I sighed. "It's hard for me to stay true to my roots when it's caused me too many issues. It's hard to know that mom and dad just used me to reach their goals."

"Hard shit." He took a big bite from hir burger. "You were the only one strong enough to get through it because you were naive. Your sisters got pregnant to avoid the fate dad dished out to you. No man wanted a wife who already had kids. You were nineteen and stupid. You were nineteen and a dreamer. You were your husband's shiny new plaything."

I frowned. "I never saw them getting pregnant as a way to avoid that. I just thought they were sluts. Why didn't you guys warn me?"

"Too late, he already took you stateside by the time we realized what was going to happen. He gave you a taste of a life you wanted. Freedom from Russia and being toted around Europe to New York, he spoiled you. Knew you would feel indebted to him." He sipped his soda. "If it hadn't been you, it would have been Nik but she got pregnant too. I couldn't do shit because no one in power was a female."

"Dad made it seem like you were all fuck ups and that's why he disowned you. God I feel so damn stupid." I rubbed the tears away with the sleeve of the flannel I had stolen from Happy.

"He played you well." He shook his head. "Sorry Katarzyna."

"It's fine." I nodded slowly. "Can I have the rest now?" I pulled his plate towards me.

"No." He pulled his plate back. "You're not even done with your lunch."

"I don't want what I ordered anymore." I scowled. "Give me yours."

"No." He shook his head. "Order what I have."

"Nah." I closed my eyes. "Forget it."

"How is it possible that you still act like a damn nine year old Kat?" He pushed his plate to me and took mine. "You happy now?"

"Yeah I am." I smiled. "Thanks."

I sat in my car and played Candy Crush as I waited for my next meeting to start. A knock on the window attracted my attention and I turned slightly and smiled before opening the door and stepping out.

"Hey." I said softly. "Thanks for coming out, wish I could have went to you."

"Don't sweat it darlin'." He smirked at me. "So what's up?"

"Need your help. We have a common enemy and I really need them gone." I smirked. "You down to help me out?"

"Does Hap know?" He irked his brow.

"Nope." I shook my head. "Let's keep it that way, he already killed one plan, don't need him killing another one."

"So give it to me what is your brilliant plan?" He smirked. "You're not getting involved physically right?"

"No, I'm behind the scenes. The brain behind the bullets." I rolled my eyes.

"Good." He stared at me. "Your club needs their Queen."

"Yeah." I smiled. "So this is the plan…" I launched into a speech and he nodded and asked questions here and there but for the most part he seemed to approve and accept the idea that I could help him out big time and I wasn't going to side against him.

"Count me in." He shook my hand. "Keep in touch."

"Oh I will." I nodded.

Juice POV

I choked on my water when Bri strolled into the SAMCRO clubhouse. Her attire was very pregnant first time mom. Her dress hugged her growing tits and flared over her baby bump, which seemed too big for her athletic frame. Her hair fell in ringlets of auburn down her shoulders and her grey eyes met mine and she smiled. She looked like a goddess.

"Happy here?" She asked. "Wasn't home and didn't answer his phone. Had no choice but to break the ban."

"In the garage." I gulped. "Working on his bike. I'll walk you out in case Tara shows up."

"Alright then." She grabbed my arm. "Walk the lady out m'lord."

"You're a dork." I laughed.

"M'lord me thinks its not polite to call a lady that." Her English accent was cute and spot on.

"Why are you in a good mood Bri?" I studied her face.

"Because I just am." She laughed. "I got a weird family, friends, and a kid on the way with the man I'm madly in love with. What's there to be sad about?"

"True." I nodded as we rounded the corner and Happy did a double check as he saw us walking. His smile spread as we got closer.

"M'killer." She wrapped her arms around his neck. "Missed you."

"Holy boobs batman." Happy looked down at her chest. "Put my shirt on please Brianna." He held her away and gave her his cover shirt.

"Very, grease monkey chic." She pulled it on without fighting him on it too much. "I came here because I need you, like on a serious baby note."

"What's wrong?" His face fell as he gripped her belly softly. He shot me a look and I knew that was my cue to leave them alone to talk about whatever news she had for him.

I walked out of the garage and hung back against the building. Keeping my eyes open in case a familiar Volvo pulled onto the lot. We had to avoid that. Happy had told us the day the drama about Nik happened that Bri was deemed high risk and that camping with us was out of the question because our inability to be grown ups upset her too much. Now, I felt protective of her, even more than I had the right to be. She wasn't going to lose that baby because I couldn't talk Tara down from delivering a tongue lashing. In any different case I knew Bri would put Tara in ICU just for shits and giggles.

"Juicy." Chibs trilled as he approached. "Awful fancy car right there."

"Bri is here, having problems with the baby, needed to talk to Happy." I sighed and looked at the garage. Through the dirty window I could see Happy and Bri with their heads pressed together.

"Mother of Christ. Is she gonna be ok?" He took a drag of his cigar.

I lifted and dropped my shoulders. "I don't know, I got kicked out before I heard anything other than baby."

"Seems right. Those two are awfully private when it comes to their relationship." He scoffed. "Three years and the bastard never mentioned her to us until what seven months ago?"

"Sounds about right." I smiled. "For the best though. Could you imagine trying to deal with Irish while a Russian power player was mozing around?"

"Might have been helpful." He chuckled. "The Irish sort of respect the Russians."

"Sort of?" I rolled my eyes. "Doubt they'd respect a women mob boss."

"They would." He nodded. "Bri is a big deal, her faction is a threat to the kings, if they got on her good side they'd be indestructible."

"That doesn't sound like something we need." I shook my head. "When so we go after the Eagle?"

"Tomorrow." He sighed. "You ready Juicy boy?"

"I'm ready Chibby." I nodded. "I just want to end this and have peace for at least a little while."

"Aye." He nodded. "Here comes Tara."

"Shit." I knocked on the garage door and Happy poked his head out. "Tara is here."

"I don't give a fuck." Happy shook his head. "Let her say something to my Queen and see how it works out."

"I think you should get her out of here." I insisted. "At least into the car."

"Nah." He stepped outside and closed the door behind him as Tara looked at the BMW parked on the lot. "She was banned from the fuckin' clubhouse not the garage. She needs me right now and I'm not letting Tara get to her. End of fuckin' story. If she has a goddamn problem send the woman my way."

I nodded. "OK."

"I'm going back in and my Queen will leave when she's ready to." He pulled open the door and went in.

"Is she here?" Jax asked as he walked over.

"In the garage." I nodded. "She is having issues with the pregnancy and had no choice but to come here and talk to Happy. She's not here to start shit."

"Alright." He rubbed his face. "I'll keep Tara at bay then."

"Thanks brother." I smiled.

The garage door opened and Bri stepped out before Happy did. He draped an arm over her shoulders and smirked at us.

"I'm getting her out of here." He rolled his eyes. "I'll be back later maybe."

"Bye guys." Bri said softly. "Sorry for showing up."

"Don't mention it." Jax waved her off.

"Hope whatever it is that is happening gets better." I smiled at her.

She smirked. "Thanks m'lord."

Happy never made it back. We sat at the table minus one. Wondering what the emergency church was about. I drummed my fingers on the table as we waited on baited breath for Jax to speak up.

"We are under surveillance." Jax finally said. "Rat encountered a Russian watching the clubhouse."

"What?" I shook my head. "Impossible. I did a sweep."

"They're gone." Jax smirked. "Rat took care of them. This though, this means we're still of interest to the Eagle. Therefore our strike is a good idea, and it will still be happening tomorrow."

"Good." Bobby nodded. "Let's get rid of these Russians once and for all. Got rid of Putlova, now it's time to rid ourselves of the Hohrykova clan."

I rolled my eyes. "Yeah."

"Is everyone with me?" He asked. "We do this swiftly, and precise. We get in and we execute. Cut the eagle's body off then the head."

We all pounded on the table signaling our agreement.

"Good." He nodded. "Juice, how many guns do we have?"

"About three for each guy." I nodded. "AR-15s and 47s, and some pistols." I tried racking my brain for any other inventory we might have but I was drawing a blank.

"Sounds good." He nodded. "We'll meet back here tomorrow night and take the Eagle out."

He hit the gavel on the table and we all stood up and dispersed. I was eager to see how tomorrow played out. I just hoped me blowing the whistle on Bri's plan didn't become something I'd soon regret.

Happy POV

"You're tits are huge." I poked at Bri who was sitting in the bath tub soaking. "They gonna stay that way or no?"

She turned her head slowly to look at me. "No." She laughed. "This is just them getting big for no other reason then to produce milk or whatever. I'm a cow now."

"You fuckin' scared me at the garage earlier." I rubbed my head. "Don't do that shit again."

"Answer your phone then Lowman." She rolled her eyes and scoffed. "Did you change your burner and not tell me?"

"Shit." I stood up. "I think so."

"Babe." She started. "How many times do I gotta tell you, I need to be clued in on that shit."

"A few more times." I laughed. "Sorry Brianna."

"I accept your apology." She closed her eyes. "High risk is dumb. My ankles hurt."

"Don't wear heels." I rubbed the bridge of her nose where her bump from it being broken twice was showing. "Your nose got bigger too."

"Everything gets bigger." She chuckled. "I don't want to have my Jello Jiggle forever after birth. I asked Nik for a personal trainer."

"We have a gym, I'll work you out baby girl." I winked at her.

"Babe, make sure we tell Ma to tell everyone nothing blue for the baby shower. I want yellows, oranges, and maybe green." She sighed. "I don't want it to be typical."

"I'll tell her." I kissed her softly. "It means the world that you're letting her do this for you."

"She's Ma." She smiled. "She would have done it as a surprise, I don't like surprise parties. I never am dressed for them."

"Babe." I shook my head. "You gotta start covering up the tits. At the garage, you were just spilling all out."

"It's not my fault." She frowned. "I bought dresses because I thought it'd be a solution but it wasn't."

"You looked fuckin' good in that dress." I smiled as she stood up. "You look better naked, bump and all."

She laughed. "Such a smooth talker you are Lowman."

"I try." I wrapped her in a towel just as the doorbell sounded. "You expecting anyone?"

"Nope." She shook her head. "Maybe Koz locked himself out."

"Doubt it." I shrugged. "You stay in here. I'll call you down after I know who's here."

She nodded. "Be careful."

"I will be." I kissed her and she nipped my bottom lip. "Don't start that shit Brianna."

She smirked. "Sorry Happy."

"Yeah, yeah." I grabbed her ass. "Stay here."

I walked down to the living room and checked the monitor. It was Lo. I rolled my eyes and pulled open the door. "What're you here for?"

"Nice to see you too." She brushed past me. "Is Bri here?"

"Yeah why?" I asked as I locked the door back.

"I need to talk to her." She looked at me. "Or you, or both. I just got a huge issue."

"Brianna!" I yelled. "One of your sluts is here!"

Lo rolled her eyes and Bri walked in wearing my sweats and one of my favorite flannel shirts. "What's up?"

"You were answering your phone!" Lo yelled.

"What's wrong?" Bri asked again.

"Your mom." She said. "She tried to get me to flip on you. Give up information. I refused to and she did this." She lifted up her shirt and showed us an angry red mark on her side.

"She cut her mark into your side." Bri looked at it. "Shit. We gotta get you checked out. It could get infected."

"What?" Lo asked. "Why?"

"It shouldn't be that red." Bri went to the hall closet and pulled on rubber gloves. "When did it happen?"

"A few hours ago." She shook her head. "One minute I was screaming the next waking up in my car bleeding and in pain."

"Let's get you to the emergency room, now." Bri stood. "Happy come with us yeah babe?"

"Sure." I nodded. "Can't stay forever, got club shit to handle tomorrow."

"Just meet us there on your bike baby." She kissed me.

"Can you sit still?" I looked over at Bri.

"I gotta pee." She looked me. "I don't know if I can make it."

I laughed. "If you piss your fucking pants I will laugh at you."

"I'd laugh too." She stood. "Help me yeah?"

I stood and grabbed her waist and rushed her to the nearest bathroom and stood by the door when she went inside. I checked my phone and rolled my eyes. It was inching closer to show time and I was getting anxious to kill some people.

"Babe." Bri walked out. "I didn't pee my pants!"

I kissed her softly. "I gotta head out soon, you okay here on your own. You need me?"

She sighed. "I don't want you to leave me at all."

"Club shit." I shook my head. "Call Esai to sit with you. I'll wait until he gets here Bri."

"Alright." She frowned. "I'll text him. Babe, I feel bad for Lo."

"Me too." I grabbed her hands and sat her down in the uncomfortable plastic chairs. "What're you going to do with Natalie?"

"Her plan goes into effect after she gives birth to Luna." She looked at her phone. "He's on the way."

"Good." I rubbed her belly. "I love you Brianna."

"I love you too. Be careful." She smiled. "Got a family to come home to."

"I'll be careful." I furrowed my brow in thought. "You think our family would accept Jax into it?"

"Yeah, after giving him shit first though, you know?" She rubbed a thumb over my lips.

"Yeah." I nodded. "One day I need to talk with Nik about her antics."

"That's a conversation I'd like to witness for real." She giggled.

"Has to be one on one." I shook my head as the elevator opened and Esai and Fiasco stepped out.

"What's up?" Esai shook my hand before sitting down.

"My mom attacked Lo." She replied.

"Shit." Fiasco frowned. "That's cutthroat right there."

I stood up. "You two watch my Queen, I gotta tend to some shit."

"Good luck." Esai nodded. "We'll get her and Lo back home and safe when shit is done here."

"Alright." I waved. "Don't give them too much shit Bri."

"I'll try not to." She smiled and watched me until the elevator doors closed. I just hoped that the attack would go over smoothly and I'd be back with Bri and my kids without major injury.

A/N: thanks for reviews.

Monica and her plot will begin to surface in a later chapter as will Natalie's even though there was a hint about it this chapter.

We will see the whole Jax and Nik thing come into play a lot more and he will try to blend in with the family.

Bri's still being sneaky and making plans and the plan goes off next chapter so sit tight for that!

And we get Hap and Nik sitting down for a much needed talk. Then there will be some light chapters before we go dark and end this story and prepare for the sequel which I'm excited about.
