Here comes another chapter for you guys. Hope you're enjoying it! I sure am!
And thanks for the comments!
He left the hospital three days later, with his right arm secured in a blue sling. The surgery to repair his shoulder had gone just fine, and he was expecting a full recovery… But he had to take it easy, and rest a lot. That right there was two things he had never been good at…
Opie was following him outside, and he was also carrying his duffle bag… Something Jax would never speak of… Ever…
Opie lifted the black bag into the bed of his truck, hooked the shoulder strap in one of the loops to secure cargo with and raced around to open the door for Jax.
"I'm not crippled, you know!" the irritation was noticeable in his voice.
"Yeah… Well… You could have fooled me! You sure look the part…" Opie retorted with a mocking, yet friendly smile.
"Shaddap!" Jax was growing impatient.
"Shut up?" Opie grinned, "I thought about making some changes… Do you think I could pull it off as a taxi-driver?"
"No… Man… You're more like the lumberjack type…"
"Lumberjack? Seriously?"
Jax nodded and almost chuckled at his best buds confused expression.
"I'm more of a grease monkey, and you know it!"
Jax couldn't help but laugh. Carefully supporting his right arm, he climbed into the passenger's seat of the old, beige, Dodge.
"I know… But between taxi driver and lumberjack… You're a lumberjack!"
"What kind of meds has that doctor put you on…?" Opie asked out into the air.
"The kind that makes me forget how my face feels…" Jax said with a smile, before shaking his head. "No, just the regular things I guess… Only multiplied…"
"Let's get you home… I heard Dr. Jenkins mentioning that you needed a lot of rest to get that shoulder of yours to heal!"
"Would have thought it was you who was about to become a mother, and not Donna…" Jax said barely audible.
"I'm not about to become a mother, what I am about to become is a father…" Opie answered shaking his head from side to side. He slammed the passenger door shut, and walked over to the driver's side and got inside.
SOASOASOA
Jax let a few minutes pass in silence before he turned to Opie, who was driving.
"You know… I kinda envy you?"
Opie slowed down 5 mph, and looked over at the man he considered his brother.
"With Donna and the little one coming?" Opie asked with a smile. "I can barely wait!"
"No, stupid… Because your arm ain't hurting!" Jax shot back, though he had secretly been thinking about Donna and Opie's kid. But hey…
He was Jax Teller, he could have any damn lay he wanted… He should be thrilled…
I tried to do a little less agony, and a bit more story in this chapter. As one of you requested.
And thanks for the heads up!
