Back To Life

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Waking up the next morning, I am still at the clubhouse. Apparently one of the guys put me to bed in a dorm last night because I lost count after about the tenth shot. I walk to the bar and Chucky hands me a coffee and a couple of aspirin. "Thanks Chucky." I say. "We take care of each other right?" he asks. "Yeah Chuck. We do. Oh, Happy will be here in a few days and I think Tig is coming with him." I tell him. "It will be good to see those two again." he says softly before moving on to clean the kitchen up. I see someone take the seat next to me and see it's Riz. "Morning Princess." he says. "Morning Riz." I say. "You wanna tell me what that was about last night? I don't think I've ever seen you drink that much." he tells me. Sighing, I say "It was my wedding anniversary." He runs his hand down his face and says "Shit. You need anything?" he asks and I just look at him. "What I need no one can give me." I say sadly. Kissing my temple, he walks away.

A little later, I see Marcus walk in. Walking up he hugs me. "Hola Princessa." he says. "Hola Padrino." I say as we pull away. "Heard you been having a hard time." he says. "Yeah. Yesterday was our anniversary. Kinda lost track of shots." I tell him as my eyes start filling up with tears again. "Well, I might have something to cheer you up." he tells me. I look at him confused as the door to the clubhouse opens up. I look up and see a couple of the Oakland guys walk in and behind them was someone I never thought I would see again. My hands go to cover my mouth as I whisper "Juan." He looks at me and I see that smile I have missed so much. He walks over to me and I cup his face and just look at him. "Please tell me I'm not dreaming." I say softly. "You're not dreaming." he says softly as he cups my face back. I just keep looking at him and his smile gets bigger. "You gonna kiss me or not?" he asks. I smile before I softly press my lips to his and he deepens the kiss. We get lost in each other for a minute and as we break for breath, we both have tears in our eyes. "I missed you so much. God Juice. How are you here?" I ask. He kisses me softly one more time before pulling me to hug him and I don't want to let go. When he pulls back from me, Marcus says "We'll tell you everything in temple." I nod and say "Can I get a minute with him please?" I ask and they all head into temple. Once the door closes, I kiss him one more time. His hands cover mine on his face and he pulls my hands down and looks at my rings still on my finger. "You still wear them?" he asks. "Never take them off. I meant it when I told you that you were it for me. I've not even thought about anyone else since you." I tell him. He holds up his hand and shows me he still wears his. I kiss him one more time before heading into temple.

Once we walk inside, he takes a seat at the table and I sit in his lap with his arms around me and a smile on my face for the first time in four years...a true smile. "Now, Princessa. I need you to hear me out and know that what happened was for good reason. It had to be done this way." Marcus tells me. "I understand." I tell him. "When you were living in Charming, we kept a close eye on you and Juice. Wanted to make sure you were protected. We caught wind of what was happening with Jax. Saw he was getting out of control and had to intervene. But we couldn't let you know what we were doing. I sought Juice out. Told him I knew what was happening and that a source had told us that Jax was going to have him killed when he went inside. We told him to do what was asked. Kill Henry Lin but that we would get him out. Only thing was that you had to believe he was dead. Samcro would not have believed he was dead and Jax would have sought him out if they didn't believe he was dead. We struck a deal with Tully and he got word to Jax that Juice was killed in Stockton.

That he did it. We got him out and sent him to Zamora, Mexico. Safe house." he tells me. "Okay but why did he have to stay hidden for so long? A week after they told me Juice died, Jax killed himself." I asked. "We needed to make sure that he was gone long enough to ensure that it was completely safe for him to come back. A couple of SONS were in on it. They knew Jax was losing control and knew something was going on but didn't know what for sure. They knew where he was." Marcus said. I look at Juice and he nods. "Who?" I ask. "Happy and Tig." Juice says and I look at him shocked. I stand up and pace for a minute, trying to process. "So, all this time that Happy and Tig have been coming in and checking on me, they knew he was still alive?" I ask and Marcus and Juice both nod their heads yes. I take a deep breath and run my fingers through my hair and ask "So, what now?" Marcus smiles as Juice stands and pulls me to him and says "You, Princessa, get your happy ever after." I look at him shocked and then at Juice and he kisses my temple. "Of course we never let our guard down but yeah, you get your husband back." Marcus says. I pull away from Juice and walk over to Marcus. Marcus stands and I hug him tight and say "I understand it had to be done. Thank you so much for saving him. I will never be able to repay you." I say. "That smile right there, is more than enough." he tells me before kissing my cheek.

Walking out to the bar, I pull Juice to my dorm. Walking in, I close and lock the door behind us and pull him to sit on the bed. I move to straddle him and just sit there, cupping his face. "I still can't believe you're here." I say. "I know. Been a long time coming." he says. I kiss him softly and feel his hands on my hips. When we part again, he whispers "I love you." I smile and say "I love you. I have waited four long years to hear those words." I say and then I remember something. "Happy and Tig are coming in a couple days. They usually stay with me." I tell him and he looks at me. "Do I need to tell them to stay somewhere else?" I ask. "No. They know I'm alive. It will just be strange seeing them again." he says. "They don't wear their kuttes at the house out of respect for me. I never asked them to but they just don't." I tell him and he smiles. "Have you been with anyone since I was gone?" he asks. I shake my head no. "You were the only one I wanted. I meant what I said. You're it for me. All I thought about was you. You are still my first thought when I wake up and my last before bed and every thought in between." I say. "I know the feeling." he says. I just keep looking at him. "I missed you so much Juan." I say as the tears start falling again. Wiping my tears he says "I know baby. I missed you too." He kisses me softly and I deepen the kiss. As the kisses get more urgent, I start pulling his shirt over his head and he does the same with mine. Turning to lay me on the bed, we start shedding the rest of our clothes and he finally enters me for the first time in four years. "Fuck you're so tight." he moans as he starts to thrust in and out. "Don't stop Juan. Oh God." I moan as he causes me to find release after release before finding his own inside me. Still inside me, he puts his forehead to mine and says "I love you so Goddamn much." I smile and say "I love you too baby. I never stopped." I tell him. Finally pulling out of me, he lays on his side and pulls me to snuggle into his chest and we just lay there.

A little later, we get up and head to the main room, hand in hand. Walking out to the bar, we see everyone look at us and they all smile at the genuine smile on my face. Seeing me finally happy after four horrible years. Chucky walks out from behind the bar and Juice says "Holy shit. Chucky. You're here now?" he asks. "Cheri brought me with her. Beat Rat in a card game for me." he tells Juice. Juice looks at me and I say "I couldn't leave him there. They would have eaten him alive." Juice kisses me softly and says "I love you." I smile and say "I love you more." We spend a little more time there talking to everyone before heading to my house with my husband for the first time in four years.

Walking into the house, I show him around. I have all of our pictures on the walls, all of his clothes hanging in the closet and in drawers, and then I take him to one of the spare rooms. I am in a four bedroom house. There's my room (our room now), two guests rooms and then the last room has all of his gaming equipment and his computer stuff. "You kept all my shit?" he asks. "Yeah. I wasn't letting you go. Happy and Tig helped set everything up for me. They kept telling me to put it in storage but I couldn't. I needed you close in any way I could get you." I tell him. Kissing me softly he says "Well, just means I don't have to get new shit." I pull him to the bedroom and we start undressing and get into bed. We spend the rest of the night, talking, catching up and making love until the sun comes up.
