Don't Leave Me Again..

Chapter Sixteen

Mom pulls into the cemetery, and Abel grabs my hand. I look at him and squeeze his hand. When mom parks, she and Dad get out. I grab the door handle, but I see Abel isn't moving.

"I haven't been to see him since before I patched. He didn't want this life for me, and here I am." He lifts his kutte.

"Babe, he's proud of you regardless. Look, your mom is here, too. I won't leave your side." Abel nods to me, and we get out he almost runs around the jeep and grabs my hand. Wendy hooks her arm around his as we make our way over to mom and dad. Mom's already talking to Jax.

When we make it over to Jax's headstone, mom squeezes my arm, and then her and Dad walk over to Opie's. Abel kneels down, pulling me with him, so sit next to him, crossing my legs. Wendy stands behind us and asks Abel if he wants her here. He shakes his head. So she walks away over to Tara's headstone, and I lay my hand on top of his, and he sets our hands on his leg.

"Dad, I know it's been a while, but I have some big news. I got married yesterday, and Gracie and I are having a baby. I know you didn't want this life for me, but without this life, I wouldn't have her." Abel says and turns his hand over, lacing our fingers. I lean over, laying my head on his arm.

"Dad, I'm a third generation son, first to be stg-at-arms, and I'm proud to be a member. Mom tried to keep Thomas and I away, but she missed having people around us and brought us back to Charming. I miss ya dad, and I hope you and Tara are proud of me." Abels says, then lean forward, setting his head on the headstone. I pull my hand from his and rub his back.

Abel and I sit there in silence for fifteen minutes. Mom, dad, and Wendy are standing where the cars are parked. Abel looks at me and asks for a minute. I stand up and kiss his cheek before walking away.

"He okay?" Dad asks, and I shrug my shoulders.

"He hasn't been here in a long time. He's got a lot to say." Wendy says, then hands me her car keys. I look at her.

"I'll ride back to the clubhouse with them. He has a lot he needs to tell Jax. Thank you, Gracie. Abel's not the easiest kid, but you bring him back to solid ground." Wendy says, hugging me. Mom and dad tell me they'll see me at the lot. Dad asks if I'm alright by myself, and I nod to him.

As Abel sits over there talking to Jax. I decided to walk over to Pops' headstone to tell him about the baby. Mom went over to him, but I wanted to tell him myself. I talk to Pops for five minutes before walking back over to the car.

"Sorry baby." Abel says ten minutes later. I put my hands on his cheeks and pull his head down so our foreheads are touching.

"I'm right here, babe. I got you Abel." I say to him, and he nods at me and kisses my forehead.

"I'm here, baby." Abel says softly. I smile at him and kiss him. He opens the door for me, and I get in and put my seatbelt on while he comes to the drives side. I hand him the keys after he gets in.

When we get back to the lot, I see Thomas's car. Abel doesn't try to find a spot he stops the car and puts the car in parks and jumps out of the car, pulls his pants up, and runs into the clubhouse I get out, chasing after him.

"Abel, Abel don't." But he's already swinging on Thomas. Wendy's yelling and crying at Abel to stop.

"Jackie pull them apart." I yell at my brother, and he walks over. Let's Abel hit Thomas a couple more times before he and Tig separate them.

"That was for you letting your stupid fucking ATF bitch of a girlfriend throw my wife around." Abel yells at Thomas and walks off in the direction of his room, I follow him and hear Thomas yelling for me to just listen to him. When I get to the bedroom Abel has thrown everything off the desk and dresser.

"Look at me, it's just you and me. Breathe, Abel. I got you." I tell him, placing my hands on his cheeks and pulling his face down to mine. He sets his forehead against mine, and he closes his eyes, taking deep and slow breaths.

"Okay, I'm good." Abel tells me then kisses my forehead.

"I fucking hate him." Abel says.

"Me too." I tell him and wrap my arms around him. He sets his head on top of mine and wraps his arms around me.

Abel and I stay in his room for a couple hours. We laid on the bed and talked about the baby and then about getting a house. I ended up calling our realtor to see if she could set a couple of tours, so we didn't have to be at the clubhouse today with Thomas being here.

My phone rings, and I pick it up. Our realtor says she was only able to get one set up, and she'll send me the address, and she'll meet us there. I get up and go to the bathroom before we leave. When I come out, Abel's standing the door with our phones in his hand.

"She called back and said she was able to set up a second tour. We'll just follow her to the next one. Are you ready, baby?" Abel says, and I walk over to him, put my phone in my back pocket, and grab his hand, lacing our fingers. He leads us thru the clubhouse and out the the lot to get on his bike.

"Where ya headed?" Jackson asks, walking over to us. I explain where we're going, and he tells Abel to keep his phone on some shit might be going down. Abel and Jackson continued talking. I zone them out and put my helmet on.

Abel climbs on his bike, and then I get on. I wave to Jackson before wrapping my arms around Abel, and he pulls out, heading to the house we're going to look at.
