Hi Guys, I'm sorry it's late. I know a lot of you patiently wait for an update, It's a small chapter but will hopefully update during the easter break.
That afternoon Jax and Pippa rode to Gemma's they'd received a phone call asking them to dinner with the family to introduce Kenny to the family officially, Pippa remembered the family dinners always pulling faces at Jax from across the table when John was talking to all the Club Members. Clay would sit beside John secretly gazing at Gemma who sat the other end of the table, It came as no surprise when Gemma lent on Clay when John died. She remembered Jax spiraling out of control nobody in the club could get through to him. Losing his dad was one of the hardest moments in his life but before that he watched his brother grow weaker before his very eyes, Pippa would come round Gemma's every day just to read to Thomas just to put a small smile on his face. Losing him devastated the whole family even the extended ones. Pippa wouldn't come out of her room for a week after his death in the end Opie had to drag her to Thomas's funeral because Gemma demanded she read, Pippa looked all night for something to read until she'd found a quote she read somewhere before and it felt right "Death is but the next great adventure" to her Tommy was travelling on to a new adventure, he was going to travel the dream world with Peter pan.
Once they arrived at the house Pippa climbed of the bike taking her helmet off and wiped her tears away as the memory had triggered emotions she tried to keep hidden. Jax reached his arm behind her back and gently tugged her towards him causing her to smile, Jax kissed her cheek softly as they walked towards the house. Walking through the door they noticed Bobby, Clay and Chibs already sat on the couch talking about random things because Clay knew how Gemma wouldn't allow club business to mix with family dinners. Pippa could hear clattering of pans in the kitchen causing her to walk into the room, she watched as Destiny sat up the counter coloring in pictures whilst Gemma was arranging the food ready to place on the table. "Need any help?" Pippa asked as she reached towards a tray before it fell to the ground, Gemma turned to see Pippa and smiled happily "Thank you baby girl, Be nice to have a helping hand. The other's should be here soon" Pippa walked with the tray and placed it on the table and arranged the plates and cutlery neatly "Is Ope on his way? I haven't called him I've had other issues to deal with at the moment so I left him with Neeta" Pippa looked up at Gemma from across the table "Yeah they are on their way. Piney and Juice have gone to collect him, It's a good thing you asking Neeta to help out, I remember when she used to watch you kids" Pippa smiled at the memories of Neeta looking after them all when ever the club had business and Mary was working. "She did a good job" Gemma smiled as she passed Pippa glasses to place at the table.
As the night progressed the Morrow house filled up Clay was sat at the head of the table like always with Gemma at the opposite end like a Queen to her king, Pippa and Jax sat beside each other whilst Destiny was sat between Jax and Clay she said it was so he could make sure she ate her vegetables but they both knew better Destiny had become attached top him she'd follow him around like a lost Puppy just like Jax did with John when he was a boy. Jax and Pippa had their hands entwined on the table between their plates as they ate, He would occasionally raise her hand to his lips placing a chaste kiss upon it letting her know that in this small moment he loved her and that he knew he had a lot to make up for.
Everybody was enjoying the food and broke off into small talk Destiny had wrapped herself into a full blown conversation with Grandpa Clay and Uncle Tig, Jax adored the way she could babble on without a care in the world whilst he was everyday faced with the possibility that if they got caught on a Gun run he'd be going to prison and that he'd not only leave Pippa without her old Man but also leave Destiny without a father. Jax glanced a look at his Mom who smiled graciously as she watched her extended family enjoy the meal she'd prepared to celebrate all the good things going on in their life's. Juice looking at Pippa didn't go unnoticed either Jax had seen the adoration in his eye's as he continued to look at her when he thought nobody was looking, Jax knew he couldn't prevent Pippa from talking to Juice because he knew they had a history and she valued him no matter their previous relationship.
Opie was sat beside Pippa eating when a wail from the other side of the room roused him He began to move but Pippa rested her arm on his shoulder as she stood up "I'll sort him, You eat" Opie looked at his sister smiling gratefully "Thanks Pip" He said as she stood up moving between the two chairs. Reaching Kenny she picked him up swiftly holding him to her chest as Neeta helped prepare a bottle she took him into the other room to change his diaper making sure that the smell wasn't off putting for everybody as they ate. Pippa sat no the floor changing his diaper and making gurgling noises to keep him occupied whilst waiting for his bottle a split second later Destiny came running in with the bottle for Kenny and sat beside Pippa "Momma, Can I help feed Kenny?" She asked politely reaching out for him, Pippa laughed lightly and placed Kenny in her arms, She took the bottle cap off and placed the teat between Kenny's mouth as Destiny placed her tiny hand around the bottle to begin feeding him. Pippa watched silently as her daughter acted like mother hen with Kenny and smiled at her memories of a much smaller baby Destiny. "Momma, Was I like Kenny?" Destiny asked as if she'd been reading her mind, "You where much smaller than this, You where a tiny dot when you where born" Destiny smiled "Was Daddy there when I was born?" Pippa looked up to the door and noticed Jax leaning against the door frame watching the beautiful scene unfold before them "No baby, Daddy didn't know about you then. Momma had moved away with Nanny and I never told Daddy because I didn't want Daddy to be upset with me" Pippa looked at her Mom and smiled "But Daddy doesn't hate you now, He loves you doesn't he?" Pippa laughed at her daughters "Yes Momma and Daddy love each other so much now." Destiny noticed her father watching them "Can I have a little brother please?" Pippa suddenly started choking on the air gasping as she noticed Jax crouch down in front of her "You ok?" He asked worriedly Pippa could only nod her reply. Jax looked at Destiny smiling "Momma and Daddy will think about a baby in the future, Sweetheart. For now we just want to spend time with you" Destiny's face light up "Does that mean I can play in my own room later?" Pippa smiled lightly at Jax before planting a soft kiss on Destiny's head. "We would love to have our baby girl home" Destiny lifted her head up to face her Mom and smiled brightly "I like playing with my favorite Barbie dolls but I have to come home now because all their clothes are in my box at home" Pippa and Jax shared a smile as they began to laugh at their small but precious daughter. Because without her Pippa would be miles away with her Mom and Jax would still be struggling in his relationship with Tara and her fears within the club.
R&R
I hope this wasn't too disappointing, I'm quite annoyed with myself for not finding the motivation to write a proper chapter.
A/N: I felt that they needed to have a big get together and i felt that Destiny Jax and Pippa needed that moment, I feel that they are too complicated to think about having another child specially with her concerns about Jax&Tara. I felt that Jax needed to notice the feelings Juice has for Pippa and i will hopefully get on top of that in the next few chapters.
