That's your family

Date night

I was feeding JJ when Juice came in. At first I didn't even look at him. He sat on the couch by us and took JJ out of my arms once he was done eating. Juice looked to be in his own world when he looked at his son. I told him, "Glad to see you actually came home today". In response Juice placed JJ on the floor and wrapped his legs and arms around me and pulled my body into his. He kissed my forehead and told me, "Baby, I know it has been hard lately but I promise you, it should all be over soon, I promise to try and make up what has been going on. I want to be the best father to JJ and a good old man to you" I listened to his heart beat and we watched as JJ began to craw around everywhere. When he turned the corner out of our eyesight Juice jumped up and picked him up telling him, "I think it is time that you go to sleep so that mommy and I can have some down time". He then winked at me, "I got him tonight, you should relax"

I took advantage and started myself a relaxing bath. Once I was done and changed into sleeping wear, I walked past JJ's room and saw Juice reading a book to a passed out JJ. I leaned in the doorway and smiled at the sight. Juice kissed his son's head and laid him in his crib before walking over to me and pulling me into his arms. At this moment I felt like we had the most stable family in the world. Juice took my hand and led me into the bedroom where he continued to spoil me for the rest of the night.

For the next three weeks Juice up held his promise, which is good because JJ is going threw anxiety and separation issues, also about half of the food I gives him ends up on the floor. My brother didn't leave, in fact he became president. Bobby was never released from prison and Clay will be getting out of the hospital soon. Tonight was the night of Piney's memorial and I don't know how well I will handle it. With Kozik's memorial I thought I would be okay, when I had to leave early because of my constant crying.Slowly I am getting better. I started going back to work sooner than I thought and was really enjoying my promotion in the lab. Life almost was peaceful again.

When the boys were out on a long run Juice came back, telling me that Jax has him helping move Clay into his new place since Gemma is keeping the house I grew up in. I didn't like the idea, after all Clay is skilled at manipulating and Juice can be naive to say the least. When Juice came back home he told me that there was issues with the run, but that everyone is safe. I took off of work to go to Piney's memorial and took the baby to daycare, where I ran into Tara. I told her I was glad that they had two new spots open for Thomas and Abel. I smiled and hugged her arm looking at the boys. I kissed her cheek and said, "I hope the boys always get to grow up and be close, I got to go bye love".

The memorial was small and personal. It seemed that Opie's kids needed it, and I felt like in a way we all did. I knew Tara had to train her replacement, but I was surprised that Gemma didn't show. i was in the club sitting by Juice waiting for Jax to get back when Roosevelt came up also asking for Jax, since he is the new president. Bobby walked out of the tow truck and I ran with the guys to welcome him. "Ahhh I missed your hugs big man, almost as much as I have missed your cooking. You just have to come over one day JJ missed you no one else has those curls that he likes to pull" I watched as Roosevelt left and pulled out a fattie, "All for you old man, figured you would want one" He kissed my cheek and pulled it in his pocket, "I'll wait for after church". I watched as Clay stumbled into church late with his oxygen tank. Tig was the first one out, and man did he look mad. Bobby walked out and lit the fattie. I couldn't help but watch as Clay followed Juice outside. Juice looked over and winked at me to which I smiled at him and Bobby pinched my cheek, "ahhh look at this, all this time and here you are still blushing for that boy" I brushed him off and took the fattie. I helped cleaned up the place and do a bit of paper work since I was off for the rest of the day. I was surprised when Juice came back to the shop his reaction to me. I smiled and waved at him when he got off his bike. I was expecting a little kiss, but instead he picked me up and shoved his toung down my throat. He let me go and said, "How about we go out on a little date tonight" I smiled and decided I could not wait for the date. 

That night I was home when Juice called my phone, "Hey baby, I should be there around seven thirty and the sitter should be there right before then some girl from the high school, babysits for one of the mechanics" I was shocked at the planning as he continued, "Hey babe. think you can wear that cute green dress that brings out your eyes" I said, "yeah babe sure" I could hear him smiling on the other side of the phone and couldn't help but smile to as he hung up after a , "I love you babe, see you soon". I did everything to look cute, I felt butterflies in my stomach. When the sitter came about five minutes early I sat down on the couch with her and JJ talking to her until I herd the bike pull in. However, when I did hear the bike I practically skipped to the front door. Juice waved bye to JJ as I climed on back and grabbed a helmit from him. We went out to a romantic candle-lit Italian dinner and I felt young. I love my son, but this dinner made me feel seventeen when Juan had to work to get my attention. We took our sweet time at the dinner, we drank wine, ate chocolate, and flirted like we never had before. 

When we got home, JJ was asleep and the sitter was doing homework at the kitchen table. It even looked like she cleaned up around the house a little bit. I paid her and told her to drive safe before Juan kissed me and led me into our son's room. The only light came from a night light and JJ just looked so peaceful. I wiped a tear from my eye and Juan held onto me tight. He kissed me sweetly and started to talk, "Baby I always have loved you and I always will" he kissed the side of my face and held me into a slow dance. The moment was ruined by Juice's phone going off. He answered and kissed my cheek, "Clay needs me I will be back". If I didn't know about Clay I would of been happy that my old man wanted to help my step-dad. I did know, and wondered why he still craved Clay's approval. I crawled into bed by myself, and in the morning went back to my morning schedule, taking JJ to daycare.

By the time I got off work I left JJ with Anita to go to an address that my mother sent me, she said Tig needed me. It looked like a high end brother, when I got there Tig sat up from my mothers lab and as she stood up, I took her place. He looked into my eyes for a second before pulling me into his chest. I couldn't hear him, but I could feel the tears from his eyes pour down onto the top of my head. I tried to focus on Tig, but Tara was running around and I saw the club lawyer.  Chibs walked up to Tig and I, "We found her mate, ready to go?" I helped Tig stand up and he kissed my forehead before walking out with the others. When the boys left Tara walked over to me and hugged me, asking how I was. 

We sat down with a cup of coffee and needless to say, she caught me up on all the drama, including that some of my papers at my mother's house was stolen. She also told me we needed to get this place set up for a wedding. I was happy but damn, especially after last night, I really thought that Juice was going to propose.
