A/N: next chapters are going to be either, roman, Jey, d/n for a while or so, till it falls back to y/n and Jax

Jey studied D/n closely as she ate her burger. She looked so tired. Dark circles underneath her eyes indicated she wasn't getting enough sleep or every little. Face looking weathered. It made his heart hurt. He knew she was close to you; your 'death' took a toll on her. He felt guilty that he had to lie to her. But knowing d/n she would have wanted to see you and she would have told her twin brother about you being alive and knowing s/n he would have told Roman since he was so desperate for the approval of his father Roman, it was best not to tell her.

Though he kept wondering now since she was acting like this and closing off from everyone would she really tell him?

"You know smoking isn't good for your health," Jey spoke. Making d/n roll her eyes as she took a bite out of her burger. She shrugged her shoulders.

"This is the fourth time I've caught you smoking," Jey spoke voice getting lower. She shrugged her shoulders. Eyes showing so much sadness it made his heart hurt.

"You going to tell Roman?" She questioned. Giving him a daring look, though her eyes still held sadness. Jey stared at her in shock as she just called her father by name.

"You mean your father? Yes, it's gotten to the point where I am getting worried for you, I worry that I'm going to find you on the floor or somewhere having OD on drugs, or getting into an accident, or worse, those friends of yours aren't friends," Jey growled. Trying to make her see reason. But she was stubborn. She put her burger down.

"Just because he is my father doesn't mean he is a father to me, he may have contributed his sperm in the process of making me, but lately he isn't a father to me," She growled. Eying Jey with such hatred.

"He is just grieving, your mom meant everything to him," Jey tried to defend Romans actions. She scoffed.

"So am I, so is everyone else, so are you," She scoffed out.

"Y/n..." Jey tried to speak but she cut him off.

"Did you know I knew about the affair you had with my mom, the so-called babies that 'died at birth' were they yours, walls are thin Jey," She spoke. She may have looked like you but the way she looked at people when she was angry was the way Roman looked at people.

Jey tried to speak but nothing came out. He was shocked. did she maybe know about your fake death, she couldn't have with how self-destructive she has been lately.

"Yeah, I thought so, I don't know why you are so loyal to him when he sent your babies away when he made mum, the woman you supposedly love so miserable, if you did love her why did you let her stay with him, why didn't you fight for her?" She growled out. Tears of anger and frustration pricked her eyes.

"It's complicated, He is family," Jey responded. Making d/n scoff. She got up. Staring at Jey coldly it sent a shiver down his spine.

"Family doesn't treat their family like that," She growled.

"Where are you going?" Jey asked, standing up as well.

"To my real family, my friends, at least they appreciate me and make me forget how toxic my family is," She snapped.

"Those friends of yours aren't family, they are just as toxic as what you claim your family is," Jey spoke. Making her roll her eyes again.

"They are better than my dad, you, jimmy, my brothers and sisters," She huffed as she stormed out of the diner. Leaving Jey. Jey ran his hand through his hair in frustration, he was this close to calling you....

Gemma smiled lovingly at Abel and Thomas. As Wendy held Thomas.

Abel looked up at his grandmother smiling.

"Grandam is y/n my new mommy?" Abel asked innocently. Leaving Gemma shocked as well as Wendy.

As far as she knew or what Jax told her was that you were babysitting Abel and Thomas, she wasn't aware Jax and you were that close, let alone being intimate.

"Why would you ask that?" She asked. Brushing his hair back.

"Because I saw daddy kissing her," Abel spoke innocently. Gemma looked shocked. She had a hard time trusting you. There was something off about you, she suspected that you were hiding something.

Gemma was about to speak when there was a knock at the door. She quickly smiled at Abel, before getting up and going to see who it was. Hopefully Jax so she could ask.

She opened the door. Getting the next best thing, you. She opened the door. Looking at you suspiciously. 

"Where's Jax?" She asked.

"He sent me," You spoke. Smiling at her. She wouldn't kill you with Abel or Thomas around. Well, you hoped she wouldn't. Wouldn't want to add more trauma to them.

She opened the door for you, entering her house. Smiling as you saw Abel running to you. Hugging your legs tightly.

"Hello, y/n," He spoke, mispronouncing your name like he always does.

"Hey, cutie, where is your brother?" You questioned, leaning down to his level.

"In there with Wendy," He responded, pointing behind him. You gave him a soft smile. Oh great, Wendy, you thought to yourself. You didn't hate her per se, just she was friendly with Gemma. You could see Wendy silently judging you.

"Want to go get him for me," You asked. Abel nodded running off.

"Where's Jax?" Gemma asked.

You straightened up turning around to face her.

"Club business," You spoke. Making Gemma smile. Correction maybe she would kill you with the kids in the room.

"You don't know what he does do you?" She asked. More like taunted.

"I know a lot, I know how you treated Tara," You spoke.

Gemma made herself look intimidating. She did scare you a bit, but you've dealt with worse.

"You'll be another Tara, running off because you can't handle what Jax does, you can't change him," She spoke. Making you narrow your eyes. Heart pounding faster.

"I'm not Tara, and I am just the babysitter," You snapped.

"Abel doesn't think so, next time don't kiss my son where my grandson can see," She spoke coldly. Her cold gaze changed into a soft smile as she saw Abel and Thomas.

You turned around. Giving them a warm smile. Wendy handed Thomas to you,

Abel grabbed your hand as you took the nappy bag from Wendy.

"Say goodbye to grandma and Wendy," You spoke softly. Giving both Wendy and Gemma a fake smile.

"Bye, bye, grandma, Wendy," Abel spoke. He was too cute.

Gemma and Wendy said goodbye, you quickly walked out of her house and to your car, putting the boys in safely, before getting in and driving away...
