"Opie turned the little boy's attention to me. His eyes filled with wonder. I smiled "And who's this little charmer Opie." Opie smiled as well. "Adriana i would like you to meet my son Kenny."

"Wow. Hello Kenny, my name's Adriana." He smiled shyly and hid his head in Opie's neck. Ope chuckled and gave me an apologetic look. "Sorry he gets shy around the ladies." I laughed and shook my head. "I bet. Hey you want to know a little secret Kenny." Upon hearing his name, Kenny turned his head towards me and nodded curiously. I leaned forward like i wanted Kenny to only hear what i have to say but they both could hear me. "You dad here was shy as well when he was your age. But he wasnt as sweet as you." Kenny smiled brightly and looked at his dad. "Really, dad? You were shy too." Ope fake sighed in defeat," yep, the secrets out. Thank you Adriana for the reminder." He said in fake anger.

I shrugged my shoulders while Kenny laughed. "Dad don't be mad at Miss Adriana." "Okay buddy. Hey how about you go over to the playground and play with Abel." Opie suggested setting Kenny back on the ground who eagerly nodded and ran off to the playground. There was a moment of silence as we watched Kenny run towards the playground to play with Abel. Opie looked at me as my eyes still stayed on. Kenny.

"What's on your mind Adriana?" I smiled alittle. "He's beautiful Ope." Opie smiled at my comment. "Yea he's a good kid. I don't know what I'll do without him." I turned towards Ope and grabbed my hand. "Walk with me?" He nodded and soon after we begin to walk towards the playground. I stuffed my hands in my pocket as we walked. "So...where's his mother?" Upon hearing my question Opie tensed up. "She uh..she left when Kenny turned 2 last year. She told me she couldn't handle my lifestyle or better yet Kenny. So she split." Opie had a far off look in his eyes and i immediately felt bad for even asking. It was no secret that the club is doing illegal things but being gone for 10 years, i dont know the extent of what their doing now or how much has changed. "Oh Ope.. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked."

He shook his head in a dismissive manner. "It's okay Adria. You asked and i answered." "But you didn't have to if it was too much." He sighed "I know. But i wanted you to know." I nodded and then nudged him slightly. "Why didn't you or Jax tell me yall had kids." "Well we wanted to but didn't know when. Never found a good time with us being busy and all." I nodded in understanding. By now we were sitting on a nearby bench watching Kenny and Abel play on the swing. "So what about you Adria, got any kids i don't know about." Ope said nudging me back. I chuckled and look down at my hands. "You know me all work no play. Uh- unfortunately i don't have any kids just a few exes."

He nodded in thought. "Have you ever -you know.. ever wanted to have kids?" I smiled at the thought of having a kid of my own. "Yea i just haven't found the right one to share that special moment with." Opie's grip on my hand tightened causing me to look at him. But before he could say anything Kenny came over and stood infront of us with his hands behind his back. Little strands of grass was in his hair. I smiled brightly at the little boy. "Hey Kenny! Are you having fun playing. I said taking the grass out of his hair. "Yep! Abel has to go with grandma Gemma." He said with excitement at first but it turned to sadness as he pouted.

I furrowed my eyebrows and moved some of his curls out of his face. "Aww its okay sweetie. How about me, you, and your dad go out for ice cream. How does that sound?" At the mention of Icecream, Kenny's eyes lit up. "Yes!! Can we dad? Please!!" I looked at Opie for confirmation and he began to stroke his beard in thought. "Well i guess it wouldn't hurt..." Me and Kenny cheered as Opie shook his head. "What's behind your back Kenny." Ope asked leaning back on the bench and swinging his arm behind me across my shoulders. Lol he think he's slick.

"Oh just um some flowers for Miss Adriana." Kenny said shyly as he pulled out some dandelions and yellow flowers. I gasped and gently took the flowers from him. "Aww Kenny these are beautiful!" I said giving him a hug. He hugged back with a small blush on his face. Opie just smiled at the scene but it was short lived when Tig called him back to the garage. He sighed and went to stand up. "I gotta go but you can stick around here if you want." "Sure i can spend time with Kenny while your in the garage." Ope smiled gratefully at me. "Thank you."
