The Blessing Of Lennon Morrow (In Editing)

Chapter 14: Thanksgiving

Author's Note:

Hey guys I know that I haven't posted in a while but I'm back now. This chapter contains a little time jump it is 6 months from when the last chapter was. It takes place on the day after Thanksgiving in 2009. The picture above is of Lennon's phone. Please comment on the story to let me know if you guys like it.

I was in the living room watching TV when I heard Jax yelling in the kitchen. I got up to see what was going on. "We agreed to three grand not four." Jax said on the phone. "We can discuss it later, have the guns ready by next week." Jax said then he hung up the phone. "Everything okay?" I asked Jax. "Yeah it's just the Irish trying to up there prices." Jax said. "You know you could-" I started to say when Jax cut me off. "We talked about this Len, no business advice." Jax said. After Dad went to Prison Jax agreed to be mostly honest with me about the club, there was still a few things he said I wasn't ready to know. Jax only had one stipulation, I couldn't get involved in the club or any of their business ventures. "So when are you taking me to Ma's? I want to get there early to help her make the pumpkin pie, it's Dad's favorite." I said. Today is the day Dad and Tig get out of Prison so we decided to do our Thanksgiving dinner a day late so they could be a part of it. "Actually Opie was going to take you, I have to go talk to the Irish." Jax said. "Okay, where is he?" I asked. "He is in the garage." Jax said. "Okay." I said then I went to the garage. Opie was changing the tire on his motorcycle. "Hey Opie, Jax said you would give to Ma's he has to go talk to the Irish." I said. "Ya I'll take you can you get my keys? They are on the kitchen table." Opie asked. "Ya." I said, I grabbed Opie's keys off the kitchen table then Opie drove me to Ma's.

When I got there Ma was in the kitchen cooking. "Hey guys." Ma said cheerfully. "Where is everybody else?" Opie asked. "They are on there way I told them not to be here until two. I just found out that Clay and Tig are getting out at three not five." Ma said, it is one now. "Lennon can you help me string the green beans and peel the potatoes?" Ma asked. "Sure." I said then I got the green beans and the potatoes out of the fridge. "It looks like you ladies have your hands full so I'm going to go meet the other guys at the garage and we will be back with Clay and Tig around four." Opie said. "Okay see you guys then." Ma said then Opie left. Jax, Opie and all the other guys were picking Clay and Tig up from Prison. Apparently it is a tradition that the Club members pick the person up from Prison. "So are you excited to see Dad and Tig?" Mom asked. "Yeah I wished I could of visited of them." I said, Jax wouldn't let me go visit Dad he said the Prison was too dangerous. "I know this was hard for you to adjust to but I'm proud of you for staying strong." Ma said as she turned to smile at me. "Thanks Ma." I said as I smiled back at her. Thirty minutes later Luann and some of the guys new girlfriends showed up to help us cook.

4 P.M. The Same Day:

I heard the roar of the bikes approach the house, Ma and I ran outside. Dad got off his bike and walked up to us. "There's my girls." Dad said as he gave me a hug then he gave Ma a kiss. "What no kiss for me?" Tig said as he walked toward us. "We missed both of you guys." Ma said as she gave Tig a hug. "Hey munchkin, you grew." Tig said referring to my growth spurt I am 5'6 now. "Let's go inside the food is almost done." Ma said then we went inside. Before we ate we all went around the table and said what were thankful for. "I'm thankful for my family." Dad said then he took a small box out of his pocket and gave it to Ma. Ma opened the box, it had a diamond necklace in it. "Oh it's beautiful thank you Baby." Ma said then she gave Dad a kiss. "I also have something for Lennon, this is a late birthday present." Dad said as he handed me a box covered in wrapping paper. I turned 15 back in July but Dad was in Prison so I didn't get to see him. I unwrapped the box and opened it, inside was the new phone that I really wanted. "Thanks Dad I love it." I said then I gave him a hug.
