Homecoming//Sons of Anarchy//Happy Lowman

Tensions Rising

Milo settled in nicely over the next couple days. Being with her family helped take her mind off of everything. She missed Happy greatly but she needed to keep him safe and keep the club together.

But one thing was worrying her. Opie hasn't been home since she moved in. While the kids were in school Milo went to the clubhouse. Opie refused to talk to her so maybe Jax could.

The guys were happy to see Milo since she's been stuck with the kids. She gave everyone a hug except Tig and Clay. She didn't even look at Tig and that confused the guys.

"Jax. I uh need to talk to you. Alone please."

Tig was practically glaring at her as her and Jax walked off. Walking into Jax's room Milo shut the door and let out a shaky breath.

"Pocket what's going on?"

"I don't know what to do Jax.. i don't know what to do.."

Milo's voice broke towards the end. She honestly didn't know what to do. The club isn't the same. She wanted everything back to the way it was before. Before prison, before her life was turned upside down.

Jax pulled her into a tight hug. "You can talk to me. I'm worried about you darlin. You've been jumpy since the accident."

"My family is falling apart Jax. Op is never home. The kids are constantly asking for him and i don't know what to tell them. You are the only person i can trust.."

Jax told her to hold on as he opened his door and looked around. Shutting his door again he pulled her into the bathroom and shut that door as well.  The last thing she said unnerved him.

"What's going on?"

"I know Jax... what Clay and Tig did.."

"That night me and Clay were arguing. What did he say to you?"

Milo shook her head. "It wasn't Clay. It was Tig. He threatened me. Held me down by my throat and said if i told anyone I'd... id meet the same fate as Donna and if i don't end things with Hap he'll kill him too..."

Jax was fuming. This was getting out of hand. He was hoping that Clay and Tig would come clean but it seems like thats not the case anymore.

"Alright. I have some things to do. I want you to stay here and I'll have Mary pick the kids up from school. I'll take care of this."

"Thank you Jax..."

Jax kissed her head and hugged her again. "I'd do anything for you darlin. You know that."

With one more hug Jax walked out of his room. Milo sat in the room only for a couple minutes before walking out. Walking into the main area she stopped in her tracks when she saw Happy was there.

She hasn't seen or talked to him since he left. Whenever he'd call she would ignore it. They made eye contact briefly which ended in a glare from Happy before he looked away.

When she had arrived she didn't notice Happy and when she asked to speak to Jax alone, in Happys mind it proved everything Tig told him was true.

Tig had told him that after he left Milo and Jax had gotten very close and rekindled their old flame they once had. At first Happy refused to believe it mainly for the fact that Jax had Tara and Milo and him were closer than ever.

It made sense to him now. She used him to get to Jax. If she wanted nothing to do with him then he wanted nothing to do with her. Not wanting everyone staring at her she went to see if Gem was in the office.

"Oh hey baby."

"Hey. You heading out?" She asked as she watched Genma pack up some stuff.

"Just heading home to make dinner for everyone. Wanna come?"

"Id like that."

Laughter filled the house as Gem and Milo were making dinner. Unknown between the women this is the first time they were able to relax since everything has went down.

"Its good to spend time with you again baby."

"I know. But things have been difficult with all the heat the club has had lately.

"It will all die down soon. We just have to be strong and make sure our boys are fed."

Smiling sadly Milo nodded in agreement. If only Chibs was able to join them tonight. She was gonna make sure to spend some time with him. Its the least she could do.

The peaceful silence was disrupted when the boys started slowly filing into the house. Jax's group was the first to enter and when he saw Milo he rushed over and hugged her. He was worried about her since he left. Especially since Tig was at the clubhouse. So when he went to pick her up and she wasn't there he was worried.

"I'm ok Jax. I've been with Gem." Happy that she was safe he kissed her head as both Tara and Happy watched quietly. When Clay entered things got tense.

He and Tig had anger written on their faces as they approached Jax, Op, and Bobby. Wanting to keep Milo safe Jax pushed her behind him.

"Where the hell were you three?! When i call you, you do not go AWOL!"

"We were getting payback for Caracara! Its our job to protect that business!"

Voices started overlapping as everyone started arguing. The arguing came to a halt when Hale walked in unannounced. He had a solemn look on his face as everyone watched him carefully.

"We uh... found a body on the side of the road beaten to death... i'm sorry. It was Luann Delaney."

As quickly and quietly as he came he was gone in the same manor. Clay and Tig looked to Jax. It was obvious they blamed him for her death.

"Your  actions caused the death of an old lady."

Fueled by rage Jax lunged at Clay. "I'm not the one murdering women you piece of shit!"

Gemma who was watching quietly slammed the plate which had the roast on it down causing the plate to shatter.

"Enough!"
