Over the past year Jax has decided to get more tattoos, only a few like Sia's name on his shoulder in fancy lettering, her birthdate with a little flower next to it on his ribs with her full name, Ambrosia Fleur Bellezza. Ambrose had no problem with his tattoos at all, he loved them and while Jax suggested he get more he decided to let Jax have all the fun. It's crazy how big Sia is, she's eight years old but it seems like only yesterday she came into their lives when Ambrose was in detox.

"Dad!"

Jax looks up from his computer to Sia pouting in front of him. "What happened now?"

"Sybella won't let me do her hair!"

"Sia, you can't force her to let you do her hair, it's her hair so it's her choice."

"But I let her do my hair since she promised to let me do hers!" Sia crosses her arms as her lip starts to quiver.

"Go find Papa and you can do his hair," Jax suggests.

"Okay!" And just like that, the problem is solved until another little human comes and interrupts him.

"Uncle Jax?"

"Yeah AJ?"

"Can you teach me to shave?" Jax chokes on the water he was drinking and turns back to AJ with wide eyes.

"And why do you need to shave?"

"I saw Uncle Ambrose shaving and I need to too! Daddy and Dad said I don't need to, that I'm too young, but I'm not! I'm almost eleven, that's almost a man!" AJ shouts.

Kudos to Rhea and Gemini for having two kids and Jay and Laci for having two because Jax doesn't know how he manages with one. Just the other day Sia came to him asking him what a tampon was which nearly put him in cardiac arrest, she overhead the girls of the household talking about it, and to be honest since he isn't married to a woman, nor has he ever been with a woman...he has no clue what a tampon is to begin with.

"I don't know if I should be the one to teach you that, that's a milestone for dads to teach their sons how to shave."

"Then how come Aunt Maezie taught Sia how to shave her legs?"

"What!" Jax darts from the office and upstairs to Maezie's room where he hears giggling, he opens the door without knocking and scowls at Maezie. "Why are you teaching my daughter to shave her legs? She's eight!"

"You can never learn too early Dad, that's what Grandma says. Look what Aunt Maez gave me!"

She rushes over to the bathroom and comes back with a little package. "What is this?"

"It's a tampon Dad!" Jax flings it across the room and clutched his hand like it burned him, he snatches his daughter to him and backs away from Maezie.

"What awful things are you teaching my daughter?! That looks like some kind of inappropriate object for adults which my daughter is not," he chastises.

"It's for periods Jax."

"What the hell is that?"

Maezie sighs. "You're lucky you have so many aunts because your dads are clueless on the female anatomy."
