I had this story up before on a different profile, and was absolutely in love with what I came up with. But because of the graphic nature of my story, it was taken down. With no warning. So I'm redoing this story so I can put it up again. BIG thanks...

Holly signed Abel's discharge papers, holding onto Valentina. She looked at the little girl when she finished, smiling back at her.
"Ready to go take brother home?" "Bwothew...." "That's right, baby girl. Let's go."
She walked into Abel's room, watching Jax get Abel dressed while Tommy slept in the stroller. He'd been up and down all night with some kind of stomach bug. So she'd given him some medicine and some sleeping meds. She put Valentina in the stroller before going around the room to gather up their stuff, making sure they had everything.
"You ready to go home, buddy?" "Yeah. Daddy said we were getting a puppy!" "Yeah, we are. Daddy's gonna go pick him up later. You excited for it?" "Yeah! What's his name?" "Teddy." "Like a bear?" "That's right, buddy."

Holly looked at Jax as he came into the living room, watching him come over and sit down next to her, feeling him put her feet in his lap.
"The kids are all asleep." "Good."
She looked at him for a minute before looking down at her hands.
"I don't think it's a good idea for us to get married right now, baby." "What? Why not?" "Things have been way too crazy for us to get some time to breathe. This shit with the kids has me way too freaked. I don't feel comfortable with your mother around anymore but she's not going anywhere any time soon. And I know she's your mother and you love her and all of this heavy shit with the letters and her involvement is weighing on you, I'm not asking you to pick sides, but until I know she's not gonna try anything, I don't wanna give her anything to try to fuck up and push her way into." "I know what she's put you through and why you don't want her around. To be honest, I don't really want her around much either. But the kids need her." "The kids will be just fine without her, Jackson." "You said it yourself, the kids should get to know their last grandparent." "And that feeling changed when she nearly killed them all. I have no more chances to give anyone. She burned through hers in a massive way. Don't burn through yours, Jax."
