It wasn't even two weeks later and Opie had managed to get his place fixed up and livable so he and Avery were no longer crashing at the clubhouse. When he said he had made it livable he really meant that he had handed his young wife a credit card and stack of cash and told her to do whatever she wanted. The end result was a home with only the nursery left unfinished.

As for Avery's parents...they still didn't know about their marriage...and they definitely didn't know about the baby. Avery was terrified of her father's reaction. She already knew her mom would be hurt that she hadn't gotten to plan, or even attend, her own daughter's wedding. She was going to have to speak up soon because in a few short months the entire Corinthos family would once again invade Charming, this time for the Thanksgiving holiday.

"Hey, Ope, can I talk to you for a second outside?" Jax called through the sliding glass door.

It was Friday night and most of the members of SAMCRO were gathered at Jax and Kristina's house. Not long after becoming Jax's old lady, Kristina had begun a new club tradition. While Sunday evenings were reserved for family sit-down dinners at Gemma's place, Friday evenings were now for BBQ, beer, and, in the case of the kids, popsicles and outdoor games like horseshoes and volleyball.

"What's up, man?" Opie followed Jax out to where he was manning the grill.

"I left something for you to read under the front seat of your truck. I also gave a copy to Happy, Juice, Chibs, Bobby, and Tig. Clay's not to know that you have it." Jax's voice was serious but he had a smile on his face as he waved away Clay's silent offer of another beer from the porch.

"What about your mom and my old man?" Opie took a sip from his beer bottle.

"My mom and Kristina were the ones who found it," Jax replied as he flipped the burgers. "Your dad already had a copy," when he laughed, Jax's amusement was now genuine.

"What do you want me to do with it once I've read it?"

"Burn it. Don't leave a fucking trace of it behind." Jax shook his head with a fake smile still plastered on his face. "Sonny's coming for Thanksgiving and he'll be hosting a poker night at the clubhouse."

"Clay hates poker and your father-in-law," Opie nodded, "so he won't be there."

"We'll about it then...and he's your father-in-law too, brother."

"Fuck." He kept forgetting that. He'd gone and married a mob don's daughter. Somewhere along the line, his life had gone from 'Easy Rider' to a Francis Ford Coppola movie.

"Everything okay?" Avery walked up and wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Yeah, baby girl," he returned her embrace and gave her lips a quick kiss. "Everything's cool." For the time being at least.

"Jax, why is one of those burgers green?" Avery scrunched up her nose in disgust as she examined a puke green patty masquerading as a burger.

"Our prospect doesn't eat meat. That's some veggie-tofu shit that your sister buys him." Jax flipped the offending health food and instead of oozing grease, it oozed a strange blue...goo was the only word that Opie could think of to describe it.

"Yep," Avery clutched her stomach. "I'm gonna be sick." She took off for the house, Opie only a few steps behind her, but she only made it as far as Kristina's sunflower garden before emptying the contents of her stomach.

"Alright, Half-Sack, we ain't buyin' this tofu shit anymore! Get the damn hose!" Jax yelled as Opie held his wife's hair back so she could finish vomiting.
