CHAPTER EIGHTY-THREE

Dani: Out-take of the amusement park in progress. meyou744: At this stage Tara will not reappear in my story, unless something happens to change my mind and bring more drama to Charming. & also for Pattiglolt2; More Campy coming in chap 86 (in an out-take). I promise there is more drama coming. Just trying to have a calm before the storm.

It's a pair of much happier kids that climb out of the back of the Escalade the following afternoon, the parking lot of the Moab charter busy with bodies of Sons and Old Ladies, along with the employed staff of mechanics. Having moved the kids to the Escalade meant they had access to the DVD players built into the back of each seat, and the individual controls for the seats, Cam had given them a long talking to about playing with the buttons just cause and they'd both nodded sagely, well as sagely as four year olds can, before climbing into their seats.

The two Sons which made the trip to Sturgis with us come out of the clubhouse and sweep Donna and I into hugs "It's good to see you two again." Looking over our shoulders at Happy, Jax and Opie "Them, not so much."

Laughing they set us back on our feet and exchange the typical hugs, complete with back slaps with the SAMCRO members. The Presidents patch attached to the man walking towards us has everyone gaining a level of seriousness. Scott waves his hand "Rob, Jax, Happy, Opie…" Trailing off he looks at Juice who shrugs and fills his name into the space. "And their Old Ladies, Sarah and Donna, who for some reason think that Jax and Opie are better than Billy and me. And a couple of extra's who I'm going to hazard a guess are attached to the other two."

Happy nods, sliding his arm around Cam's waist and pulling her tightly to his side where she just smiles and kisses him on the side of his neck.

Rob snickers; turning his hazel eyes to us "I can understand completely, after all Scott, they've seen you eat."

Leading the way into the clubhouse my eyes drift over the room, even with Moab being a fairly large charter, with 15 fully patched members, the clubhouse is small, the main room about the size of a locker room, complete with the smells of sweat, dirty socks and the normal underlying scents of booze, pussy and weed that cling to the walls of any building where you walk past the Sons reaper to gain entry. Mentally I snicker at the thought of putting the reaper on the front door of BV, but given that it should never have the smell of multiple couplings I disregard it with the insanity it popped into my brain.

With it being a Tuesday there's not a lot happening within the clubhouse but when the Sons, both the Moab ones and the ones from Charming, disappear into their Chapel, a room I can see is almost as large as their main room, the noise level drops by at least 70%, the kids making up the remaining portion of noise.

The doors remain closed for almost an hour before the 19 people that entered exit as a group, a cloud of smoke following them, heading straight to the bar each of them is handed a beer and a shot before any attention is turned to the people still in the room. The twins are now quietly sitting at a table in the corner, their mother having retrieved colouring equipment from the back of the car for them not long before the meeting broke up.

Opie's the first one who breaks away from the gathering of men, approaching his wife with a smile "Rob said that there's no room for us here, but there's a relatively nice hotel just round the corner. He said to tell them he sent you and you should get good rates."

Donna snickers and gestures towards Cam "She's paying for it all, I don't care what it costs."

Cam snorts and leans back in her chair "I see how this goes. You just like me for my money."

Donna nods with a wicked grin on her face "Yep, just like I only like S for her baking ability."

Cam shakes her head "I'd believe that though. I mean, she's so unlikeable. She's rude, obnoxious, selfish, self-centred, abrupt, abrasive."

Al giggles "Let's not forget her lack of hygiene and her inability to keep her mouth shut while she's eating."

Jax frowns as he hears them speaking, looking down at me and rolling his eyes when he realises my shoulders are shaking from laughter. "You lot are truly insane, you really are."

"Why thank you baby." I reply through my giggles, turning to Ope "Where abouts is this place?"

Rob appears behind the guys and smiles widely "I'll show you, I've gotta go pick up my kid from his pyscho mom before she kicks him out…again."

Opie claps his hand onto Robs back "Drop him off with the girls, they'll look after him."

Rob literally stops in place and looks over his shoulder, his body swaying from the suddenness of his halting "Really? You know nothing about him though."

Donna and I share a quick glance before she takes the lead "Sure we will. How old is he?"

"I'm not gonna agree, he's not the same age as your kids. He's 15. He should have been at school today, which is why his mother has issues. She just got home and found him in her bed with their neighbours 18 year old twin daughters. Needless to say she's not impressed."

Jax and Opie both snicker, their smiles huge as Juice speaks "Hell if I coulda got 18 year old twins in bed with me at 15 I'd be happy as."

Rob nods "That's the problem right there. Nick's more than pleased with himself. Or he was, till his mother showed up and went banshee on him."

Calling out for his VP's attention the pair of them talk quietly as they walk towards the door, the four of us gathering up the kids and their stuff and following behind them. As the group reaches the three cars there's a quick shuffle of car seats, leaving the Escalade free for the four men who are obvious in their intentions of staying around the clubhouse for a while.

Following the bikes that hold the President and VP of the charter down the road it literally is less than 2 blocks to the hotel that Rob gestures towards with a wave, accelerating away with his VP in tow as Donna turns the Dodge into the drive, Al and Cam behind us in the Viper.

Sorting out four rooms doesn't take long at all for Cam and when she returns to us it's with a huge grin "We got the four rooms for the price of two, and I was told where the best Italian place is in the whole State and it's only down the road."

Donna smiles back, her current addiction to all things garlic had been obvious by her demand of a jar of roasted garlic in oil when we'd stopped for lunch, something she'd then spread on the inside of her sandwich before eating it. Unfortunately it meant that the rest of the drive from Denver had been in a car where the driver not only smelt like garlic but kept burping up the smell of it as well, according to Jax and Opie who had been in the same car as her and with her driving she'd sadistically locked all the windows.

When 5pm rolls around and the guys still haven't returned from the clubhouse we unanimously agree to give them another 30 minutes, then ring them. If no joy, or arrival of the lot of them by 6 we'd decided to take off for dinner ourselves, with two kids under 5 needing to be in bed not far after 7 even that only gives us an hour to eat and get back to the hotel.

625 Juice finally picks up his phone, the other calls we'd made gone unanswered. Al grumbles a little then snaps her phone closed in irritation, turning to us she rolls her eyes "They got caught up talking shit. One of the prospects has already gone to get them food so we're on our own."

"Then I guess they can make use of the sofa's in the rooms." Donna growls, ordering the kids to the car and into their seats, which they do without a breath of argument.

Donna seems a lot more relaxed an hour later when we return to the hotel, the bag of garlic bread she'd asked as a take away order and the remains of her dinner in her hand. The Escalade is still missing when we pull into the car parks and each of us sends of very short messages of what room number they're meant to go to before we split apart. Abel already asleep means that Cam follows me to open the door for me before disappearing into her own room. The twins had been on the verge of sleep most of the way back to the hotel and Donna murmurs quietly that they'll be asleep within 5 minutes as she pushes her door closed.
