Chapter 21: Fix
Gemma POV
I was glad that Opie had convinced Bells to get out of town for a few days. She definitely needed it. Everything that had been going on since Donna's arrival in town had been wearing on her. And now with her being pregnant, the stress wasn't good for her. If that wasn't bad enough, I'd been on edge. It was like I couldn't get past the attack. And now SAMCRO was in the porn business. Luann hated all the guys hanging around. I was sitting in the office when my cell rang. "Hey baby." I said.
"What the fuck is going on?" Lu asked me.
"What are you talking about?" I asked her.
"Gem, you told me that it would be a good idea to get into business with SAMCRO. And now their taking over my whole studio. Bobby is here saying that he's doing the books." Lu told me.
"I'm on my way." I told her and hung up.
I grabbed my purse and headed out to CaraCara. Halfway there I noticed Clay and Tig behind me. When I pulled into CaraCara, I saw Tara sitting on Jax's bike.
Tara POV
Holy shit. First it started with the fucking porn star that I couldn't stand. Then Clay threw a concrete block through Gemma's window. Then she was screaming at him. Gemma was freaking out more than I thought she was. Clay was clearly pissed about something. I think that Jax was just as shocked as I was. Hopefully Bells would be back soon and we could talk to her. Jax dropped me off at home on his way to the clubhouse. I headed over to the hospital.
Tig POV
Shit was really spiraling around here. I missed Bells. We were waiting on Juice so I decided to call Bells. "Hey dad." She said when she answered.
"Hey kid. It's good to hear your voice. It's not the same without you around here." I told her and it was the truth.
"I know. I'll be home soon. Tara called, said Gem seems out of it. She thinks that I might be the only one to be able to calm her down." Bells said.
I ran a hand over my face. "Maybe. I'll just be glad when your back home." I told her.
"Awww you miss me dad?" She asked me sarcastically.
"Don't be a smartass kid. That's my job." I said.
Jax POV
We were all standing in the garage when Juice came in. "What?" I asked.
"Aryans are dealing in Charming." Juice said. Shit. He tossed a file folder on the table. "Zobelle's a goddamn saint. He owns five cigar shops, deacon at his church, widower, one kid." Juice told us.
"But look at this," I said opening the file. "Last place the League of American Nationalists put down roots was San Bernadino. Six months later, war boys MC crumbled. Entire crew went away for aggravated assault, attacked Zobelle's cigar shop."
"War Boys run guns." I said.
"They did." Juice said.
"Why would Zobelle care about guns?" Ope asked.
"Cause these dickheads are prepping for the great race war." Clay said.
"Zobelle came at us hard." Tig said. "Cocky threat. No fear."
We had to find where they were cooking. Then we had to blow the shit up. Nobody was greater at blowing shit up than Ope. With Bells gone he seemed out of it. We were walking out to our bikes when I stopped him. "You okay?" I asked him.
He nodded. "Yeah. House is just quiet. Bells is up at my mom's with the kids. We're struggling. She wants to bring the kids home but I'm not sure if it's safe and then pregnancy on top of it." He said running a hand over his face. He leaned against his bike. "Not sure if I'm ready to bring another kid into this life." He said.
I nodded understanding. "I get it, I do. Later, call your Old Lady, tell her to come home and bring the kids with her. I get needing your family whole, but you need your sanity too." I told him and he was about to say something when I stopped him. "We'll protect your family."
"Thanks man." He said.
We headed off to go find Hale.
Tara POV
That afternoon, when I finished my shift at the hospital I headed over to the garage. I walked into the office and held up a cup. "Thirsty?" Gemma asked me.
"HIV test. Your due." I told her.
She nodded. She stood up and took the cup from me. "I haven't had sex since it happened." She said.
"Makes sense. You're still healing." I said.
"Pussy's not the problem. It's my head." She said.
"You need time."
"I need something." She said.
"Where's Clay with all this?" I asked.
"Did you miss the car show earlier. He hates me."
"That's not true." I said. We heard the sound of a motorcycle pull into the lot and we both looked out the window. "Son of a bitch." I said seeing Ima on the back of Jax's bike.
"You good with that rubbing on Jax?" Gemma asked me.
"I trust him." I said, turning towards Gemma.
"It's not him you worry about. It's them." She said. "They think he's a free dick. You gotta educate. Set the bitch straight. The others see it, everyone knows."
"What like hit her?" I asked. She's wasn't serious, was she?
"Kick, scratch, whatever." She said.
"I'm not 18 years old anymore, Gemma. My catfighting days are behind me." I told her.
"We'll see." She said holding up the cup. "My pee."
"Thanks."
Opie POV
We were waiting on the location of where Darby was cooking. It was turning out to be a crappy day and I needed to hear Bells' voice. My day was always better when I talked to her. It'd be even better when she was back home. I was going to take Jax's advice and tell her to come home and to bring the kids with her. I flipped my phone open and called her. "Hey baby." She said when she answered the phone.
"Hey." I said, finally feeling relieved for the first time all day.
"Long day?" She asked me.
"Yeah. That and I wish you were here. I don't sleep when you're not here." I told her.
"I know babe. But I'll be home before you know it. I'm just not ready to leave the kids yet." She told me.
"Actually, that's why I'm calling. Come home. Bring the kids with you. Jax says that we'll do whatever we have to in order to keep you and the kids safe." I told her.
"Really?" She asked me.
"Of course. I'm ready for our family to be together again." I said.
I could hear her smiling through the phone. "Alright. The kids and I will get packed up and we'll head home. Will you be at home or are you going to the wrap party?" She said.
"I was planning to go. Clay wants everyone there but I was hoping that you'd be back in time to go with me. Tara's going I think." I said.
"I should be. Meet me at the house. I'll see if Neeta can watch the kids for a bit." She said.
"Sounds good babe. See you in a bit." I said before I hung up. I finally felt like I could breathe. Now we just had to deal with Darby. He had to know that getting mixed up with Zobelle wasn't going to work out for him.
We'd found out that Darby was cooking down by the streams. However, we didn't know exactly which house it was. So he'd decided to give Hale the intel that we had so that we could see if Hale was in Zobelle's pocket like his brother was. Now we just had to wait.
Little while later we were sitting around the garage when Jax's phone rang.
Jax POV
"Yeah." I said when I answered my phone.
"That info on the lab, that's bogus." Hale said. "There's nothing out there." Then he hung up.
I closed my phone and looked at Ope. "Get the boom." I said.
We grabbed everything we needed and headed out to the house that we'd identified as Darby's. "That's gotta be it." Juice said.
"Go." I said. Then I saw it. "Hold it!" I said. Then I pointed to the cameras. "Cameras." We all pulled our masks down. "We're set. We'll clear the house then blow it." I told the guys.
We cleared the house and made it back to the tree line. "Who's got the remote?" I asked.
"Ope's not using one." Juice said right as Ope ran out of the house. A few seconds later, the house blew.
What the fuck was he thinking?
Clay POV
We pulled back onto the lot so that everyone could clean up before heading over to CaraCara. Ope was heading to his house to pick up Bells who was back in town. I climbed off my bike and looked towards the office. I saw Gem was still here. "Talk to her man." Tig said to me. He was a good friend. He loved Gem as if she was his sister. He was family to me, literally.
I walked over to the office. "I'm sorry." I said.
"Me too. How are the hands?" Gem asked me.
"They're both sore." I said.
"Yeah, I bet." She said.
I thought for a minute. I needed to make this right. "What's going on with us?" I asked her.
"It's me. My accident…it just shook me up somehow. I don't know…I…Just having trouble." She said.
"How do I help?" I asked her.
"I'm so sorry it's bleeding all over you. I'm just a little lost baby." She said. I hugged her. "I got to get this software over to Bobby."
"I'll run it up there. I don't want you hanging around that place." I told her.
"Okay."
"There's a wrap party tonight. The guys are going to be there. I'm thinking of going. Unless…you want to maybe grab some supper or something." I said.
"I got to relieve Neeta. You should go."
"Okay."
Opie POV
When I pulled into my driveway, I smiled at the sight of Bells' car in the driveway. I killed the engine to my bike and made my way inside. Bells was sitting on the couch. As soon as I walked in the door and shut it behind me, she was off the couch and in my arms. I picked her up and held her tight. "God I missed you." I said.
She kissed my neck. "I missed you too baby." She said.
I set her back on the floor. "Ready for a porn party?" I asked her.
"As I ever will be." She said.
Bells and I were sitting with Jax. "Where's Tara?" She asked Jax.
"She said she was coming. She's probably just running late." Jax said.
I leaned close to her ear. "Grab me a beer?" I asked her and she nodded.
I watched her walk to the bar. "Heard you went a little cowboy at that Mayan thing a few weeks ago." Jax said. "The thing today with the explosives…"
"I don't have a death wish, man." I said. Honestly, the thing with the explosives was a fluke. I just didn't time it well.
"You got something going on." Jax said.
"I've got the club and Bells. I'm just throwing myself into it." I said.
"You've got kids Ope, and another on the way. Don't throw yourself too far." Jax said.
Bells came back with my beer. "Hey Jax?" She said. We both looked up and she pointed to the door. Tara and going toe-to-toe with Ima.
"Shit." Jax said before he took off.
I pulled Bells back into my lap. "See something you like, Mr. Winston?" She asked me seductively.
I ran my fingers slowly down her back. "I'm seeing a lot that I like. What do you say we get out of here?" I asked her.
She leaned close to my ear and nibbled on it. "Sounds like you're in trouble if you don't take me home now." She said.
"You bet." I said helping her stand up and leading her out to my bike.
