Fall Slowly

John the Revelator

Mary took the kids home so they could pack a bag and we were going to pick them up from there. Tony and I were hanging back to wait for the clean-up crew. There were still a few club members hanging around

"Crow eaters are going to start the clean-up." My mom said to me and I looked at Tony

"We hired a clean-up crew, they are going to come pack up the tables and clean up."

"We don't have outsiders in here messing with things." She said

"It's the same crew who set all of this up, and we're staying to keep an eye out."

"We?" She scoffed looking at Tony

"You know I thought once a tat was gone it was against the bylaws for that person to show their faces at the clubhouse." Rachel said with a smirk

"And bring that suit in here? For all we know he works with the feds." Clay said

"No not a fed I'm Tony Stark, I work for Tony Stark." He said and I chuckled but stopped when I saw their faces

"He's not a fed he's just here to support me and after today we will be gone. don't have a cow."

"You're not above our laws," Rachel said and I rolled my eyes

"Our? You want to be me so bad, it's pitiful. No matter where I go or who I'm with I'm still a Teller if were getting along or not Gemma is still my mother! And if he hasn't put a crow on you in all this time newsflash he's not going to."

"I hate coming here! This is the only place where your more mad about me leaving than Happy putting his fucking hands on me!"

"Back off of her!" Opie said coming out of the back

"She was family before Happy and she'll be family after that's why she can always come here. She's the only one who's spent everyday with my kids, she took this burden off my hands so the only thing I have to say we all should have to say is thank you.' He said then looked at me

"You go thank you for everything both of you." He said and I could see how broken he was

"Anytime call if you need me, I got your kids tonight so don't worry about them. Take some time to process." I said then hugged him then Tony took my hand and we left

I laughed as Tony collapsed onto the bed next to me, he had been stuck watching The Lion King with Kenny and Ellie as I fed and changed Abel and got him ready for bed.

"They finally crashed." He said and I looked at Abel who was sleeping in the pack-in-play next to our bed

"You did good, tonight.' I said laying next to him

"I did huh?" He said and kissed him

"You did now I have to get you to change a diaper."

"Never that is where I draw the line," He said and I looked at him

"Can I asked you something?"

"Of course." He said looking at me

"I told you want I wanted out of life and hopefully it will come out of our relationship, but you never told me if you wanted the same."

"Honestly I've never thought about things like that. Before us my last committed relationship was with Ashley Davis in the 5th grade.'

"And how did that end?" I asked with a smile

"She dumped me for Eddie Martin, when he brought her a chocolate pudding cup."

"Aww."

"Man she was the one who got away." He said and I hit his arm

"I've never saw it in my future, marriage, kids but since I've been with you I feel like it possible but I need you to be patient with me because I'm learning as we go.' He said and I nodded then kissed him, he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me on top of him

"No, my nephew is 3 feet away," I said then pecked his lips and rolled off of him. I laughed as he pouted

"We can go in the bathroom you just have to be quiet."

"No you just have to wait." I said pushing him away and he groaned outlaid causing Abel to stir

'Shh."

"If anything that makes me unsure about the kid thing." He said and I shook my head

We were making the rounds dropping the kids off before we headed to the airport to go back home. We got to Jax's he said we needed to talk. So I left Tony in the living room with Abel and we walked into his bedroom

"Did you ever read dad manuscript?" He asked

"I started it, then everything happened with Tony, and I just never had time to go back to finish it. Why?'

"Because he talks about a new way for the club, and I think I can make it happen."

"Have you talked to Clay?"

"No I can't trust him right now. I got to tell you something swear to me you wont tell anyone."

"Jax you're scaring me what's going on?"

"Clay and Tig killed Donna."

"What!? Jesus Christ Jax! Why would they do that?"

"ATF set Opie up to look like a rat and they were going to take him out but they got Donna by accident."

"So I take it Opie and the rest if the club doesn't know."

"It's would break his heart, I convinced Donna to let him back in and this is the result."

"This isn't your fault, don't do that. This is on Clay oh my God. Do you really think you can change things? Clay seems stuck in the old days."

"His days with the gavel are numbered his hands are going, once he out we will moved towards going legit."

"You need to find another source of income, money talks with the club. They're not going to give up guns until you have a stream money."

"I know I'm working on something."

"Well just be careful I can't lose you Jax."

"You won't." He said kissing my head, i just prayed he could keep his word to me.
