CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TEN

Website where all photos of all outfits mentioned is on my profile.

Pulling into Jax's driveway I park his truck on the grass by the mailbox. The four of us get out, Donna coming around the car and slapping my shoulder again "You!"

"What about me?"

Donna laughs "Opie's been on me about having more kids."

I erupt into laughter "Well, you can't have more kids unless he's on you, or under you, so I think that's a good thing!"

Donna shakes her head as Cam and Al follow us to the front door laughing "What I meant you perve is that Opie keeps talking about having more kids and I don't think I can put him off any more."

"So do it!" I giggle "I mean, stop taking birth control."

Donna looks over "But I'm scared." She goes through to the kitchen and sits down at the table.

I exchange a quick look with Al and Cam who follow me, pulling out the seat beside her "Scared of what?"

Donna looks over at me "Having another set of twins. 3 kids I could do. I'm not sure if I could handle four."

I twist sideways in my chair and wrap my arms around her "D, you're a great mom. Your kids love you and you always put them first. If you have twins again well then it's just two more babies to love."

Cam gets to her feet and quietly asks where the bathroom is, directing her down the hall I hear the door shut and pull back enough to look at Donna's face "What's the real problem?"

Donna sobs once and sets her head on the table "Am I just becoming a brood mare for future generations of outlaws?"

I shrug "D, that's why we're gonna talk to Clay about getting the club away from guns. Al, do not mention that!"

Al nods and watches us quietly.

Donna wipes furiously at the tears that have fallen from her eyes "What happens if they go back inside?"

I blink "Then we deal with it like the Old Ladies we are. With sweat, blood, conjugal visits and leaning on any members on the outside. You know they'll do anything asked."

Donna nods and brushes her face again "I know, but I don't want to have to make do. I want my husband there to raise our kids with me."

I nod "I know D. If Jax goes inside, well it would break my heart, but it's always a possibility."

Donna takes a couple of deep breaths and sits up straight "I'm okay now."

I examine her face carefully "Are you? Honestly?"

Donna nods "I am, I guess I needed reminding that if anything does happen to Ope then the rest of SAMCRO will always be there for me."

I nod and glance over at Al "It's true. If Juice isn't around the guys will do anything that you need them to do."

Al frowns "Anything?"

I nod "Yeah, not to get into huge details but you need to talk to Juice about one major thing that is on the front of every mind around this place."

Donna looks at me and I bite my tongue for a second "Shit," thinking about how to word what I need to say is a bit hard especially knowing that there is always the possibility that any day they could be arrested for something. "Fuck it. Al you need to talk to Juice about the prison clause."

Al's eyes widen "Prison clause?"

I hear the door to the bathroom open with a creak and nod "Just talk to him about it."

She nods silently as Cam comes back into the room. "So what are we doing?"

I get to my feet "Well, I need to go through Abel's room and see what we've got and what we need. I want you guys here to help me. Plus we're moving in a couple of months and I need to work out if I've ordered all the furniture we need for the new house."

Cam grimaces "Please tell me you're not keeping that bed you used to use?"

I shake my head with a laugh "Nope, that's gonna be binned as soon as possible. It's in storage at the moment with all the other shit you guys hauled across the country."

After pulling my notebook out of my bag the four of us walk down the hall and into Abel's bedroom. Cam and Al claim the daybed in the corner while Donna sinks into the rocking chair looking around quietly.

I lean against the dressing table and look around as well "So we've got the obvious stuff, the crib, rocking chair, daybed and dressing table. Is there any other big stuff?"

Donna shrugs "You could get one of those change tables with the bath under it."

I nod and write a note down while Al leans into the corner of the soft half-bed "Are you going disposables or cloth?"

"Disposables. I'm not dealing with washing shitty nappies."

"Then I'd suggest a bin, I think you can get them with anti-smell stuff in them."

Cam nods "You can, and have you got a pushchair?"

"Fuck!" I mutter and they all laugh making me poke my tongue out at them "See, that's why I have you three, I'd forget everything. I know we need to get a car seat too."

"And more clothes." Donna says.

I shake my head "No, Gem told me not to get any more till after the welcome home party. I just hope she doesn't try and turn it into some big bash. I just want family here, if the guys want to drink and do stupid shit they can go to the clubhouse afterwards."

Donna and Al both laugh while Cam looks strangely at them both.

"Good luck with that." Donna says with a giggle.

I frown "Why?"

Donna widens her eyes "You're going to go against Gemma about his home coming?"

I nod "And she'll pull her head in if she wants to have anything to do with organising it. I already know she was going to start planning some huge thing that neither Jax nor I would have wanted."

Donna looks stunned "Okay. Well, you know I'll help organise it."

"Me too!" Al says from where she's curled in the corner of the couch.

"I'll help if I'm in town, when does he come home?" Cam asks quietly.

"July 10th."

Cam claps excitedly "Of course I'll come back here for it; we'll come back from New York on the 7th. Will that give you enough time to plan?"

I nod "Of course. You do remember me managing to organise and cater a 16th with only 48 hours' notice."

Cam nods "I do. You roped me and Al in to help you."

I poke my tongue out at her "I had a party to cater for 300 with 2 days to do the work! Of course I roped you into helping me. If you remember I offered to pay you."

Cam shakes her head as she laughs "Yeah you did. And both Al and I told you to keep it. You worked 2 days without sleep to get that party planned."

I half-shrug, lifting a single shoulder "I just didn't see why that poor girl should miss her 16th cause the caterer her parents originally hired bailed at the last minute."

Donna's been watching the conversation with wide eyes "You catered a party for 300 in 2 days?"

"Not just me. Al and Cam did a huge amount."

Al snorts "Like hell we did."

I roll my eyes and step away from the dressing table. "I wouldn't have been able to do everything if it wasn't for you."

Al shakes her head and she and Cam get off the daybed "We peeled eggs, opened cans and cut crusts of sandwiches; I fail to see how that's a lot."

"Okay, okay. But enough about that. I am sure I'll be able to pull together a homecoming for Abel in a couple of days, it'll only be the Club and immediate family anyway." I mutter over my shoulder walking down the hall.
