Chapter 14

After the meeting, Koz comes to the bedroom door and asked me to come into the living room. I walk in and see all the guys still standing there. "Babe, we need to ask you something." Hap says. "Okay. What do you need?" I asked. "Jax thinks it's a good idea to put all the women on lockdown but we don't want to do it at the clubhouse. We need somewhere that Clay won't think to look." Koz says. I think a minute. "We can't have them here. There's not enough room. We can take them to the cabin." I say. "Clay knows where the cabin is." Jax says. "Not our cabin." I say. Koz and Hap look at me and nod. "Pack all the ladies up. Tell them leave their cars. You guys will have to take us there another way. He can't see us leave. But how will we get Gemma away?" I asked. "She kicked him out last night. Beat the shit out of her." Jax says. I look at him shocked and say "Okay. Well, we need to stock up the cabin so that there's food there. But other than that, it's ready." I tell them. "Are you guys okay with that? I mean, this is our private cabin." I asked Koz and Hap. "Yeah babe." They both say. "Well, this is the only time that this gets used to club shit. This is my one place to go that's club free where we can be together without interruptions." I say. "Understood." Jax says. They thank us and leave to get the Old Ladies and kids together.

I walk to the bedroom and grab a bag and start packing. The guys give me a few minutes before they come in there to check on me. "Are you okay baby?" Koz asked. "I think so. I was afraid that you all would think I was crazy thinking that Clay would do something but now, knowing that he beat Gemma? That just tells me that my feeling was right. He won't hesitate to do something to us if it was so easy for him to do that to the woman he supposedly loves." I tell them. "We won't let him touch you. We promise you that." Happy says and I nod my head. "I need a pen and paper." I tell them. Hap gets what I need and Koz asked "What are you doing?" I sit down and start making my list. "I am making a list of things that we are going to need at the cabin. Here, get this to the prospects and tell them to get everything on this list." I tell Koz. He looks at the list and says "I see you use a lot of these items when you bake." Koz says laughing. "Yeah, I'm planning out my list of baked goods now." I tell him.

We walk out of the house and the prospects are in the driveway. "Go to the store and get everything on this list. If you have any questions, call me or Hap." Koz says and they nod their heads before leaving. They mount their bikes and I climb on with Koz and we head out to the cabin. Once there, we dismount and I go and unlock the door. We walk in and I start lighting candles all over and opening windows to get the musty smell out. An hour later, everyone starts showing up.

I see Gemma walk in and I pull her into a hug. "Are you okay?" I asked her. "Yeah baby. I'm okay." she tells me smiling. "Nice cabin." she says. Once everyone is inside, I start speaking. "There are six bedrooms so some of us might have to double up. There are three bathrooms so please make yourself at home. We don't have cable but we have a ton of DVD's. The prospects are out getting us groceries now and should be here soon." I tell them and we start showing them to the bedrooms. Once everyone has their things in their bedrooms, we all sit around the living room and relax. "Why are we being brought here?" Lyla asked. I look at Hap and Koz and they nod that it's okay to tell them. "Jax is challenging leadership and the guys don't think he will handle it well. They know he won't go after one of the guys but that doesn't mean he won't come after us. Clay doesn't know about this cabin so we thought that it would be the safest place until they get everything under control." I explain. "Well, thank you for letting us stay here Sweetheart. We have to stick together don't we." Gemma says patting my shoulder.

A little later, the prospects come in with the groceries. "Did you find everything on the list?" I asked. One of them says "You had the size pan on the list and we couldn't find that size so I got the next size up. Is that okay?" he asked. "That's fine. Thank you." I say. After everything is put away, Gemma, Tara, Lyla and I are starting dinner while a couple of others are watching the kids. After we get it done, the guys come in. We feed our men and put the kids down for the night. I walk into our room with my Old Men and make sure they are okay. "Everything okay?" I asked. "Yeah. Vote passed. Jax is president now." Hap says. "Good. What's the next step?" I asked. "Now we just wait for his reaction. Some things have come to light. He was the one that killed Piney." Koz said. I look at him shocked. "That's not all. Opie's first wife? Donna? Clay ordered a hit on Opie and got Donna instead." Hap tells me. I sit down on the bed. "If he killed another member and put a hit on another, shouldn't that be grounds for a Mayhem vote?" I asked. "Yeah, and that's what we are voting on tomorrow. Jax wanted to give us the night to think about it." Koz says. "What are you thinking?" I asked. They both look at me and Hap says "We both are voting yes. He could have gone after any of us." I sit there a second and say "He doesn't have the balls to go after you two." They both smirk at me and I stand up and kiss both their cheeks before walking back to the kitchen. I start pulling out pans and ingredients and start mixing my batter. I hear Gemma ask "What's she doing? It's almost midnight?" Koz says "She's stress baking."
