Love Thy Neighbor

Chapter 10

Waking up the next morning, I slide out of bed and check on the boys before heading to the kitchen to start breakfast. I get it about done when Jax walks in dressed, with Thomas in his arms and Abel in front of him. Abel runs up to me and hugs my legs. "Morning Mommy." he says. Leaning down and kissing the top of his head, I say "Morning baby." He runs to the table and Jax kisses me softly. "Morning babe." he says. "Morning." I say and kiss Thomas on the cheek. Jax sits at the table with Abel, holding Thomas in his lap. I start plating food and taking it to the table. I sit with my own and Thomas starts reaching for me. "Mamama." he says. I take him from Jax and hold him in my lap and feed him off my plate. I look at Jax and he just smiles at us.

After breakfast, I get the kitchen cleaned up and get ready for work while Jax takes the boys next door to wait for Neeta. Once I'm done, I head over to Jax's house. When I walk in, Neeta is there and she looks at me and smiles and says "Good morning Della." Smiling, I say "Good morning Neeta." Jax walks over and says "We're headed to work. Call if you need us." Jax says. We kiss the boys and Abel says "See you later Mommy. Bye Daddy." and I can't help but smile.

Pulling up to the garage, I get off the back of Jax's bike, I get off the bike and he gets off behind me. He walks me to the office and helps me get settled. Kissing me softly he says "I'll get the guys together so we know what we're doing when we get ready to move things." he tells me. "Okay baby." I say. "I'm going to talk to Happy about doing my crow tattoo. We can get him to do it before we leave today." he tells me. I just nod my head. Pulling me close, he kisses me deeply when we hear someone clear their throat and we break the kiss. Looking at the door, we see Tig standing there. "Morning boss." he says to Jax. "Morning Della." he says to me. "Morning Tig." I say. Jax grabs the repo list off the fax and hands it to Tig and says "Grab Phil and get these repos going." Tig takes the list and says "You got it. Della, let us know if you need anything." he tells me. "Thanks Tig." I tell him. When he walks away I look at Jax and ask "Everyone that nice?" He smiles and says "They are to family. We take care of each other." He goes to head out of the office and I grab his hand. He turns to look at me and I smile and say "I love you." Kissing me again, he says "I love you too...Momma."

Once work is done, we head to Jax's house. Walking in, I see Neeta pulling dinner out of the oven. "You didn't have to cook Neeta." I tell her. "Jax said you guys were going to start packing tonight so I figured I'd make dinner. Boys have had baths so all you have to do if feed them and then put them to bed." she tells us. "You wanna join us Neeta?" Jax asks. "No baby. I have plans tonight." she tells us and I see her blush a little. "Neeta, do you have a date?" I ask her. "Maybe." she tells me. I hug her and say "Have fun." She smirks a little and says "You too."

After eating and cleaning the kitchen, we get the boys down and start packing. Packing up the bedroom, he walks over to me and puts his arms around me. Pulling me to him, he lays me down on the bed and hovers over me. "I thought we were going to pack?" I ask. "We can get the prospects to do it for us." he says before kissing me deeply. We start to shed clothes and he enters me. Making love to me all night long, making me meet release after release before finding his own.

A few days later, it's Saturday and the entire club is at Jax's house and getting things packed up and moved next door at my house. Well, our house now. "Where do you want this couch?" Chibs asks. "All my furniture goes into the storage unit. The only furniture we need to move is what's in the boys' rooms." he tells Chibs. We get everything moved and are sitting in the backyard, watching the boys play when my phone rings. "Hello?" I ask as I answer. "Hey Della." I hear my dad say. "Hi Daddy." I say. "How are things going?" he asks. "Good. Found a job. Got some things going on." I tell him. "Where are you working?" he asks. "My boyfriend owns a garage and I'm running the office." I tell him. "Boyfriend? What boyfriend?" he asks. "His name is Jax. He was my neighbor that I was helping with his boys." I tell him. "Was?" my dad asks. "Yeah. Him and the boys moved in here with me." I say. "You barely know this man and you're moving him and his boys into your house? Where's their mother?" he asks. "Daddy, their mom died about six months ago and I've known him for over two years." I tell him. "Dead wife. Two kids. You know he's not going to marry you. He just wants someone to raise his kids for him. You honestly think that someone is actually going to love you?" he asks. "Daddy, don't." I say softly. "You know I'm right." he tells me. "I gotta go daddy." I say before hanging up.

I look out at Jax, playing with the boys, I feel the tears filling my eyes. Getting up and heading inside, I go into the bathroom to get myself together. A few minutes later, I hear a knock on the door. "Babe, you okay?" he asks. "Yeah. Just need a minute." I say. "Let me in." he says and I open the door. "Who was on the phone?" he asks. "My dad." I say, walking by him. "What'd he say?" he asks. "Just the normal bullshit. That I don't know you and that I should know better than to think that someone would love me and that you're only using me to have someone to raise the kids for you." I tell him. "You know that's bullshit right?" He asks me concerned. "I know. I'm not doubting how you feel about me baby. I just can't understand what I did to them for them to think that low of me." I tell him. Pulling me close, he says "Don't listen to him. Me and my boys love you more than anything. My club even loves you." he says. "That's all I need." I say. I look over at the door and see Abel standing there. "Are you okay Mommy?" he asks. I kneel down and he walks over to me. "I'm okay baby. Just needed a few minutes." I tell him. "Are you sad we're here?" He asks. "No baby. You, your daddy and brother being here makes me really happy. I promise baby. I will never be sad you're here." I tell him and he hugs me. "Whatever made you sad, we will fix it." he tells me. "You already have baby. Why don't you go play with your brother. Me and daddy will there in a second." I tell him. Kissing my cheek, he heads back to his brother's room to play. I stand and look at Jax and say "How did I get so lucky?"
