She stood starring at the woman in the driveway, she felt a hand on her shoulder. "Who's your friend sweetheart?" Chibs voice was near her ear, she blinked a couple of times, trying to come out of her shock. The woman stepped forward, with her hand out, Chibs took it, looking at her wearily.
"I'm Zoey Main, Devon's sister." She still hadn't said anything, she was still staring at the young woman, trying to determine her age.
"Go inside love. I'll take care of this!" She felt Chibs turn her towards the door, she walked inside, ignoring the woman's pleas to come back. Shutting the door, she went to lay down on the couch. Could she really have a sister, why would she wait so long to come forward? Closing her eyes, she heard the roar of bikes, knowing that Chibs had called in reinforcements.
Zoey Main, she would have Juice look her up, get information on her, find out the truth. She wasn't sure what she wanted after that, a relationship with her, or for her just to go away. The door slowly opened, Chibs walked inside, smiling at her. "She was escorted out of town."
"She'll be back." He sat down next to her, pulling her into a hug, kissing the top of her head.
"Not if we can help it, she won't." She smiled at him, knowing he was right, the club would protect her from all things that could hurt her. Her would be sister, wouldn't be allowed to set foot inside the city limits of Charming. She still had to know the truth, if she really had a sister, or if it was all bullshit. Getting up from the couch, he frowned at you.
"I'm getting something to eat. You hungry? I think there's some of ma's meatloaf in the fridge." She smiled as he followed her into the kitchen.

She lucked out that night, when Juice showed up for babysitting duty, she smiled at him having plans on keeping him busy. He held up his hands, shaking his head. "No way Dev! I already talked to Hap, and he said No, that you didn't need the stress."
"Come on Juice! I just need to know, if she's really my sister. Who the hell she is." She pouted, looking at him. Hoping that he would give in, and look the woman up.
"No way! If you get stressed out or upset and Hap finds out about it, he'll kill me!" She let out a frustrated huff, knowing she'd have to the woman up herself. Hearing her phone going off she smiled, knowing it was Happy. Grabbing her phone, she went upstairs to talk to her husband in private, shutting the door, she laid back on the bed.
"Hey baby!" She purred into the phone. "I miss you."
"You don't need to worry about this sister crap. You don't need the stress, let the club take care of it."
"Hap, I'm fine. I'm not going to get stressed out."
"I just want you and Gwendolyn safe. I don't like the fact that this bitch knows where we live, and came up to you after I left."
"I know you worry about us, and I love you for it." She massaged her stomach, the baby kicking her, she listened to Happy talking to her.
"Dev baby, you still there?" She blinked her eyes, opening them slowly.
"Sorry, I dozed off." She slowly sat up, stretching slowly.
"I'm going to let you go, get some rest. I love you both."
"We love you too Hap." She ended the call, getting up, she tossed her phone on the bed. Deciding to take a bath, she filled the tub with hot water, climbing in, she slid down, letting the water, hit her muscles, easing the tension.

The next morning Tig was down stairs waiting for her, he was pacing the livingroom, looking at him, she could tell something was bothering him. She didn't want to ask, she didn't want to know. She could see the stress radiating off of him, she waited for him to see her standing there. He saw her standing in the early morning light, he came closer to her.
"What's going on?" She could almost see him working through, what to say to her.
"Nothing doll face. Why do you thing something's going on?"
She crossed her arms over her chest, looking at him, tapping her foot, just waiting. She had leaned this look from her mom, learned by just staring, and looking like you already knew the answers, the person on the receiving end of the stare would just start spilling their guts. If that didn't work, then you slapped them around.
"I need you to pack a bag and come to the clubhouse, until we have this sister thing figured out."
"No." She shook her head, she wasn't leaving the comfort of her house. She could see the frustration in Tig's face, there was no reason for her to leave her house. She wanted to stay where she was comfortable, the clubhouse was anything but comfortable. She walked away, going into the kitchen, she needed some breakfast. She heard Tig talking to someone, while she was cooking, not bothering to listening in to the conversation.
Ten minutes later her phone rang, rolling her eyes, she couldn't believe Tig had called Hap. "Yes?"
"Stop being a pain in the ass, and go to the clubhouse!" She rolled her eyes, choosing the words well. "Baby, the clubhouse is so uncomfortable. You know I need to relax, and I can't do it there. I'm so much more relaxed here at home."
"Dev, this crazy bitch knows where we live..." She could hear the stress and fear in his voice. "I just need you two to be safe."
"I know Hap, and we will be. Please just let me stay home." Hearing him exhale slowly, she hoped that she had won this battle.
"You don't go anywhere alone, you stay close to whatever member is with you. "
"I promise! I love you."
"I love you too." They talked for a few more minutes, saying good bye, Tig poked his head into the kitchen, she glared at him.
"You called my husband, and told on me?" Before he could answer, his phone rang, she sat down at the table, eating the pancakes she had made herself. Tig left the room, rolling her eyes, she finished eating. Getting up, she rinsed off her plate and went upstairs to wash her hair, and get dressed for the day. She heard too many male voices down stairs for this early in the morning.
She went downstairs to find most of the club in her livingroom or kitchen, exhaling slowly, she closed her eyes. "Since when did my house become a second location as your clubhouse?"
Jax smiled at her coming forward hugging her. "Since you're being a pain in the ass, we've come to work out a schedule for your protection."
She smiled at her brother, kissing him on the cheek. "Sorry brother, but your little niece and I need to be comfortable, and your clubhouse isn't that luxurious." She smiled at the men standing around her.
It was decided that there would be two men with her at all times, she was still trying to figure out what really was going on. This couldn't be all about just Zoey Main, would be sister. There had to be something more going on, she knew that none of them would tell her anything. She would have to figure that shit out on her own.

Later that afternoon, she did a search for Zoey Main, she got several different hits. She found two in New York, one in South Carolina, and one in southern California. She did a search on social media, to look for pictures, to see if she could find the woman from the day before. She came up empty handed, feeling frustrated, she put her laptop to one side, she would have to wait and see if the woman would reach out to her again.
Leaning back against her pillows , she closed her eyes, trying to stay relaxed.

Zoey sat in her hotel room on the outskirts of Charming, frowning at the picture of her sister. She was well protected, there would be another way to get close to her, the door to her room opened, she smiled at her husband. "I made contact with her, unfortunately i was escorted out of town by the local MC."
"Don't worry about it Zoe, we'll figure it out." Dalton kissed his girlfriend.
"That bitch got a new life, and I was stuck with Irene..."
"You have to play the victim. Make her feel sorry for you, get her to welcome you in to her family."
"It's going to be a little hard to do, if I'm not allowed into Charming." She frowned at him.
"I'm working on that. I have a job interview tomorrow at Teller-Morrow Automotive. It's the car place her family owns." She smiled at him, knowing that this would be her way in. She had to grow up hearing about her big sister, and how she was living a better life, that she'd chosen a biker family over flesh and blood. When Zoey got older, she had gone to Charming, to check out Devon, and was jealous, because she had everything that Zoey never did.
Zoey wanted to take everything away from her sister, just so she'll know what it feels like to have nothing.

The smell of freshly baked bread, drifted up the stairs, Bobby! He was the only one of the Sons that baked, getting up from bed, she quickly took care of her morning routine, then went to see what kind of bread was baking. Rounding the corner into the kitchen, she saw several loaves of bread cooling, Chibs was all ready eating some and drinking coffee.
She smiled at the two men in her kitchen, she kissed them on the cheek, grabbing a glass for juice, and a plate for her own bread. "It smells so wonderful in here." Sitting down at the table, she had a slice of banana nut bread with butter, she was in complete haven. Closing her eyes in bliss, she enjoyed every bite, hearing her phone ring, she picked it up answering it.
"I love you baby, but I'm leaving you for Bobby and his bread."
She heard him chuckle on the other end. "At least I know you're eating well today." She laughed, getting up from the table, she left the kitchen, going to the livingroom. Laying on the couch to talk, she listens to him about Tacoma.
"I miss you so damn much Dev. I can't wait to be home, sleeping next to you."
"I miss you too, I have a hard time sleeping when you aren't here. I bought a body pillow to replace you when your not here."
"What the fuck? You've replaced me with a pillow?" He growled.
She giggled at him. "Only when you aren't here to hold me. The pillow gives me support...when you come home..."
"That damn pillow gets thrown in another room. I'll show you some things that a pillow can't do!"
"Okay baby, calm down. I love you."
"I love you too. Rest and take it easy, I'll be home in a few days."
"I will." She smiled as she put her phone down on the table. Getting up, she went back in the kitchen to finished her breakfast.

She was sitting on the couch in TM's office, waiting for Gemma to get off the phone, they were going out to lunch, just so Devon could get out of the house. Gemma was on the phone, ordering a part that was needed right away when a man came into the office. He was smiling, and went straight for Devon, there was something about him that made her feel uncomfortable. She couldn't put her finger on it, she just wanted to get away from him.
"Can I help you?"
"I'm Dalton Manche, I'm here to see Jax." He smiled at her, putting his hand on her stomach, stepping away from him, she frowned.
"I'll go get him." She stepped out into the garage, Opie wrapped his arm around her waist, frowning at her.
"It's too dangerous for you to be out here!"
"There's a Dalton Manche, here to see Jax. He's kind of creepy, he touched my stomach without permission." Opie guided her back to the door, leaning down to kiss her forehead.
"Want me to kick his ass?"
She smiled at him. "No thanks! It's probably just me being over sensitive." She opened the door going back into the office. Frowning because her mom was still on the phone, she'd have to talk to the creepy man. Jax better get his ass in here, and fast, she didn't have the tolerance to deal with this freak.
"That your old man." He nodded towards Opie, who was watching through the window.
"No, he's my very protective older brother." The other door opened and Jax walked in, she felt relief as the two of them left. She and Gemma left for lunch soon after, with Quinn and Tig as their guards.

Zoey walked into the house, she ran room from room, frowning at her sister's perfect life. It wouldn't be so perfect when she got done with it, she looked at Devon's wedding picture. She would start with him, and finish with the baby she was carrying, poor Devon would be alone by the time she was done with her.
