Hi All.

I am so sorry for not updating sooner, I have basically been abandoning this story since the previous Season Finale, I just can't wait till it's back. Honestly i've been addicted to TVD so please bare with me if i don't reply as often as possible. This is just a small update to let you guys know i've not abandoned the story.. ENJOY!

A month had gone by since the family dinner, Opie was beginning to get the hang of being a father and got a metal prosthetic foot so that he could walk again. Pippa watched as Opie tried to walk down the hall holding on to the wall either side of him, Pippa squealed with excitement as she watched him walk towards her

"Seriously Pip, I'm a grown man I don't need you getting all excited like it's the first time I can walk" Pippa laughed as she jumped around happily "My big brother is back on his feet, I'm ecstatic" Opie looked at her face and smiled

"If I was right I'd think you were happy about getting your room back" He laughed at her trying to hold up his balance "No, I'm going to miss Kenny not being around" Opie stood in front of her and wrapped his arms around her "Were just going to Lyla's everything will be fine" Pippa pushed out of his hug "I'm still not happy about this, I don't trust her Ope"

Opie groaned "She's a good women, I like her company and when Donna died she was there for me" Pippa shock her head "Well if she hurts either one of my boys I will break her face" Opie laughed walking into the kitchen.

Later in the evening Jax came home to find Opie and Lyla loading her car "You leaving us Bro?" Pippa stood on the porch "You can tell him" She called to Opie. "Yeah man. I'm gonna move in with Lyla" Jax was taken aback, He had no idea Opie was seeing Lyla or moving out. He stepped forward hugging Opie "Going to miss you here man. Take care of the little guy" Jax pulled away watching as Opie and Lyla climbed into the car.

That night once Jax had settled Destiny into her bed he'd found Pippa sprawled out on the couch reading a book; her eyes rose from her page smiling at him "She asleep?" she asked raising her body up making neat fold on the corner of her page. Jax flopped down on the couch by her feet lifting her ankles up to rest them on his lap. His hands gently caressed her feet slowly caressing her calve,

"Don't bother Jax, I'm off limits tonight. You've got a run to do so I'm going to wear my sexiest lingerie and lay in bed waiting for my hot boyfriend to visit me" She winked at him jumping off the couch and running towards his bedroom "Oh you're on Darlin'. I'll be back later" he called as he heard the bikes pull up outside, He pulled his cut from the hanger and grabbed his keys from the bowl.

He lifted his head to walk to his bedroom but she stood by their door in a purple bra and panties set revealing her tiger across her stomach. "You look beautiful" he breathed as he walked towards her taking her face in his hands kissing her deeply, Her hands gripped hold of his cut tightly as he deepened the kiss. He didn't want to let her go, he wanted to stay and make love to her all night but he knew it would cause uproar between him and Clay.

"I gotta go" he whispered as he pulled away from her "I'll be waiting right in here when you come home." Jax smacked her ass lightly causing her to giggle "Be safe and I love you" she said watching him walk out the door.

She stretched out as she lay in her bed with the same book she'd been reading on the couch when a bleeping sounded from her phone; Picking it up she noticed a message from Jax, smiling she opened it 'I love you too Darlin' I should be home by 3' Pippa sighed placing the phone back on her bedside table.

Pippa lay awake her eyes fixed on the bedside clock watching the hands move out of boredom and fear something might be wrong, It had already passed 3am and the thought of Jax being found in a back alley scared the life out of her. She pulled her phone from her bedside table noticing she had no messages or missed calls. Groaning she climbed out of bed grabbing one of his Samcro t-shirts pulling it over her head to cover her body and dug through her draw for a set of shorts.

Once she put some clothes on she wondered into the kitchen filling the kettle with water, She knew she wouldn't get to sleep if he wasn't there. Once the kettle boiled sounding the clicking sound to let her know it was ready she poured herself a mug of black coffee. She sat at the table in the kitchen patiently waiting and hoping she'd hear his bike. The light started to peer through the window when her eye lids began to drop and her coffee left to go cold, She rested her head in her arms on the table falling asleep.

Jax walked into the house smelling of booze, cigarettes and women; Once they'd done their run Clay suggested they all have a few drinks to announce their success on their gun deal, Jax had wanted to leave early to get home to Pippa but everyone convinced him it'd be fine that she's an Old Lady she needs to know her place in their club.

Walking into the kitchen he stood in the doorway his eyes firmly on her sleeping position. He walked towards the table lifting her in his arms carrying her to their bedroom, As he laid her down and covered her with the sheets she opened her eyes "What's the time?" she questioned trying to figure out the handles on the clock beside her through her tired eyes. "Eight. Go back to sleep darlin" Pippa's eyes widened in anger.

"Eight O'clock? Where the hell have you been?" She was suddenly hit with the pungent smell radiating off him "You were drinking last night? What happened to I'll be home at 3am?" She climbed from the bed hunting for some clothes to wear whilst he sat on the bed watching her and trying to reason with her "I'm sorry. Clay ordered us all to stay have a few drinks, I never realized how late it was"

Pippa spun around glaring at him as she raised her hand pointing at him "If Clay asked you to fuck a crow eater would you do it?" she argued fuming that he'd easily jump at spending all night at the club house because Clay asked of it. "Now you're being stupid. You know I wouldn't do that to you?" Pippa laughed sarcastically "Yeah because Jax Teller is innocent" she walked out of the room into the bathroom to shower and get away from him before she said something she'd regret.

Once she was dressed she found Jax and Destiny sat at the table eating breakfast together laughing, Pippa walked into the room leaning down to kiss Destiny's head "Baby, Get dressed We're going out today" Destiny smiled widely jumping from her seat bouncing towards her bedroom to find her clothes.

"Where you going?" Jax questioned curiously but Pippa ignored him still angry at him "Come on Pippa. just talk to me" Pippa spun around "No. because if I have to listen to another shit excuse come from your mouth then I'll be forced to walk out of that god damn door and kiss this town goodbye" She exhaled Deeply turning away from him letting her tears fall down her cheeks; She gripped a hold of the work surface tightly breathing deeply.

"Would you like me to call Juice, I'm sure you guys can have a little heart to heart, Lean on his shoulder all whilst he wishes you were in his bed" Jax was stood behind her letting his anger and frustration towards the fact he knew Juice had feelings for Pippa out.

Her eyes widened as she spun around slapping him across his cheek "I hate you" Pippa walked away from him leaving him red faced and stunned, She grabbed Destiny from her room fully dressed holding one of her Barbie dolls.

"Pippa wait" Jax called as she began to walk out of the front door. She looked at him careful not to let her emotions show in front of their daughter "What?" she spoke full with spite "What time you home? I'll get us something for dinner" Pippa shook her head "I don't know yet" with that she walked out the door without a backward glance.

Pippa and Destiny sat in the park playing together on the swings giggling and full of smiles, Looking at Destiny's smile reminded Pippa of her life back in Seattle, When they'd been minus a bunch of outlaw bikers.

Destiny halted her swing jumping up and down eagerly "Momma, Can I have an ice cream please" she showed Pippa her best puppy dog eyes as she pleaded with her mother. Pippa chuckled as she walked towards her daughter ruffling her hair "Come on Monkey, Let's get you an ice cream with extra sprinkles" Destiny jumped up and down excitedly as they walked towards the ice cream truck parked at the end of the park.

Queuing for the ice creams Pippa caught sight of his bike across the street as he climbed off his bike walking towards them grinning from ear to ear. Buying the three ice creams they found a bench taking a seat to eat the frozen goodies before returning to play, Pippa caught his eyes staring at her earning a smile from her. "I'm glad you could make it" She said watching him.

He nodded "Anytime for you" Pippa shook her head tight lipped "You okay? Jax came into the club house shouting at Clay earlier" Pippa nodded pointing down to Destiny letting Juice know it wasn't wise to talk about it in front of her.

Destiny had returned to playing in the playground whilst Juice and Pippa sat on the bench watching her and talking "So what happened?" Pippa sighed loudly "He came in at 8am thinking that it was okay, then he goes on to basically accuse us of having an illicit affair" Juice's throat tightened as he gasped for air "You okay?" She asked patting his back gently.

The sound of a bike sounded in the background came to a halt as he watched the scene in front of him, he felt like she was keeping something from him and now was a good a time than any to find out, Jax stormed towards them angrily pushing Juice off the bench and causing a scene.

"Man. What's your problem?" Juice asked as he tried climbing from the floor "Stop it Jax. Just stop" Jax ignored her pleas as his eyes filled with rage towards juice laying a punch into every available piece of his body.

Suddenly the shrill sound of a child's scream was sounded throughout the playground stilling Jax's fist above Juice's bloody face when his eyes caught his daughter's tear stained face running in his direction.

Jax stood from Juice helping him to his feet "Call 911" somebody called from behind him, Looking at the ground he found Pippa pale white on the floor, Destiny sat beside her Mom screaming for her to wake up petrified.

Jax pulled her away from Pippa turning to Juice "Take her to my Mom's, Use Pippa's car" Juice nodded lifting Destiny in his arms "Come on Dest, Your mom's gonna be fine" Destiny screamed in his arms trying to free herself from his iron grip whilst Jax fell to the floor reaching his hand to Pippa's hair stroking it as his thumb traced her hair line.
