CHAPTER THIRTEEN

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

I'm just tucking the last of Wendy's clothes into a box when my phone chirps from my pocket. Pulling it out I smile brightly, flicking it open "Hey baby."

"We've just got to Indian Hills. You a'ight?" Jax's voice is a little crackly through the phone and I wander into the living room, the sound clearing.

"Yeah I'm fine. We've been sorting the junkie's stuff. I'm gonna take it all and donate it to some charity. Tomorrow D and I are going to start shopping for their furniture, we're going back to that warehouse were we got ours."

"Who's going with you two?" I can almost hear the frown on Jax's face when he asks.

"No one. Cam and Al are going down to LA to look at these houses Cam liked so D and I are having a day together."

"Not what I meant babe, which Son is going with you?"

Sitting down on the arm of the chair I sigh "No one."

"Not fucken happening in a million years. You leave Charming you have a patch on you." I can hear someone in the background saying "hear hear" to his statement and I sigh.

"Fine, who would you suggest. Juice'll probably be going with Al, he won't let her go to LA alone I'm sure."

"Take Hap."

I snort with laughter "I won't tell him you suggested that, he's going to see his mom on Wednesday, he won't leave till all his Bluebird and TM obligations are done. What about if we went with Kip?"

"Sack? Really, you'd put up with him? Why?"

I giggle a little "Cause he won't follow me around like a puppy."

Jax sighs "Fine. Sack and the prospect."

Tapping my fingers on my leg for a second I think "Okay baby. You ring and let them know that the pair of them are stuck with a couple of Old Ladies going shopping for furniture."

Jax chuckles and agrees quietly "I will, but I gotta go babe, Jury's about to sit down. Be safe."

"Love you Jax."

"You too."

Between the four of us we load the boxes into the back of Jax's truck Donna agreeing with me that we'll take it shopping.

I'm in the middle of shoving a box into the backseat when my phone rings again "Can someone grab that please?" I ask from where I'm juggling a box that's already on the seat and the one I'm trying to fit in beside it. A hand slides into my pocket and retrieves my phone.

"Yellow?" I shake my head at Cam's usual greeting. "Hang on Patrick; she's in the back of the car. Give her a sec."

Rearranging the boxes so neither of them is going to fall forwards or sideways onto the base of Abel's car seat I back slowly out of the car and accept the phone with a smile "Hey, what's up?"

"Your bank balance if I can get an okay in the next 45 seconds." Patrick says with a barely contained glee in his voice.

"Huh?"

"Those shares of that shoe company I brought at your request at the beginning of last year have just sky-rocketed. If you sell now you'll easily quadruple the money you put in." The tapping sound I can faintly hear is either him tapping his pen on the desk or his finger on the enter key, all the information already entered. Having sat behind him once while he was waiting for something I know exactly what he'll be doing.

"Sure. As long as it's not going to cause trouble for the company."

The solid sounding tap confirms that he was tapping his enter key and he chuckles "Honey you have nothing to worry about."

"Okay. Did you get an email from Charlotte, the trials been moved up to the 24th."

"Yeah I did, I'll make sure to clear my calendar, oh and congratulations. Are you still sure you don't want a pre-nup?"

"I'm hanging up now and I'm going to pretend you didn't ask that." I pull the phone away from my ear and start closing it.

"Wait." I lift the phone back to my head at his shouted word "Don't you even want to know what this sale made you?"

"Don't care, reinvest it all."

"But it's..."

"Don't care, reinvest it all." I say again with a grin.

"Okay. See you next month."

"Yup. Bye." Hanging up the phone again I shove it back in my pocket turning to my friends "So who's hungry?"

All three of them nod and I laugh "Well why don't we go drop this lot, go to Lumpy's for lunch then go to the storage unit and make a start on that?"

The enthusiastic nods of the three of them make me laugh "Please, you all know where the fridge is, if you were hungry you have hands to get something!"

Snapping Abel's car seat into the base in the back Al and Cam head to Al's new car and I take a second to look at it, it's in remarkably good condition for being over 5 years old and the smile that crosses her face when she unlocks it lets me know all I need to, that she loves the car, but then looking at the perpetual smile that seems to have been on her face I consider it's probably more that she loves Juice and his thoughtfulness of buying her a car then the car itself.

We stop by one of the two charity stores in town, unloading the 6 boxes of clothes and shoes and the one box of costume jewellery doesn't take us long, the thanks that are still being called when we leave have me laughing all the way back to the car.

Sliding into a booth at Lumpy's a few minutes later I snicker again "I had a realisation while we were dropping that stuff off. The people that shop there will have no idea they're wearing the clothes of a SAMCRO members dead junkie wife."

Donna pokes my side "That's just evil, I love it."

Setting Abel down in his capsule down beside me on the seat I chuckle and nod.
