Chapter 10

Walking back into the hotel room, I head into the bathroom and close the door. Bracing myself against the sink and take deep breaths. This is so much to take in. The door opens slowly and Juice walks in. "Are you okay?" he asks. I stand straight and say "Yeah. I'm good. So, what do you think about what they said?" I ask. "We'll talk about that in a minute. I want to talk about you. Are you okay? And please don't lie to me." he tells me. I sigh and say "I don't know." He pulls me to the side of the tub and sits next to me. "Talk to me. Just tell me what comes to mind." he tells me. "I don't know what to think. We moved to Georgia and finally got past this shit with Chris and things are great with us. I'd like to know my dad but I don't want you to feel pressured to stay if it's not what you want but at the same time, I don't want to lose you." I tell him. "You won't lose me no matter what and if you want to know your dad we can move back here." he tells me. "What about you?" I ask. "I don't know. I mean, I miss being a part of that club. I miss the brotherhood." he tells me. "We should talk to Molly. She's been with us the entire way." I tell him. "Yeah. We should." he says.

We come out of the bathroom and she's sitting on the bed. "We need to talk to you." I tell her. "You're staying?" she asks. "I don't know. That's what we wanted to talk to you about." I tell her. "This isn't up to me." she says. "We want to include you in this." I tell her and she nods. "What are you thinking?" Molly asks. "Juice misses the brotherhood and the club and I want to be with him and get to know my dad more." I tell her. "If you want to stay, I support you." she tells me. I look at Juice and he nods. "You could move here with us." I say. "Are you sure?" Molly asks. "Yeah. You took us both in and you didn't even know me. You're family, remember." he says. "Okay. So, when do we move and what will we do about jobs?" Molly asks. "I don't know. We'll handle one step at a time." I say. I call my dad and tell him that we need to talk to them and he tells us to go to the clubhouse.

A little later, we pull up at the clubhouse and as soon as we get out of the car, Juice stops. I look at him and he says "Just never thought I'd be back here." I kiss him softly and say "Dad said you would be safe. You said we could trust him." He nods and we head to the clubhouse. Walking inside, I see my dad at the bar. Walking up, he pulls me into a hug and says "Hey baby girl." I smile softly and say "Hey Dad." He looks at Juice and asks "You made a decision?" Juice nods and Chibs says "You ain't family, get out!" Everyone walks out of the clubhouse except for the members and Old Ladies. "So, Ladd, what did you decide?" Chibs asks. "I want to come back but before I come back, I need to know that nothing like that shit will happen again. I also need a place for me, Gypsy and Molly to stay and the girls need jobs." he says and I lace my fingers with his. "We can do that. We still have your house if you still want to live there. Gypsy can run the office and Molly can run the ice cream shop." Chibs tells me. Dad looks at me and says "You okay with that?" I look at him and say "As long as Juice is safe then I'm okay with it." I tell him. They look at Molly and she says "Fine with me." Juice looks at Chibs and says "We'll need a couple of weeks to get our things packed and get them here." Chibs nods and sas "How about Happy and Quinn go with you guys to help." he says. "That's fine." Juice says.

The next morning, the five of us head to the airport to head to get our things. Once on the plane, I am sitting between my dad and Juice and I see Happy and Molly sitting next to each other, talking. Once the plane lands, we get into my car that is still parked at the airport and head to the house. Once we are there, we relax for the night and the next morning we have Molly's parents come over.

They walk in the door and we are all sitting in the living room. "What did you want to talk to us about?" Pop asks. "Pop, Momma, this is my dad Rayne and his best friend Happy." I tell them. "Nice to meet you guys." they say and I go on. "Juice has been given the opportunity to go back to the club." I say. "I thought they voted you out?" Momma says. "They did but some things came to light and they offered my patch back." Juice says without telling too many details. "That what you want son?" Pop asks. "Yeah. It is." Juice says. "What about Gypsy?" Momma asks. "She's moving with me so that she can also be close to her dad and get to know him." Juice says. "You okay with that Gypsy?" Pop asks. "Yeah. I am." I tell them smiling. Molly speaks up. "I've been invited to move with them." she says and Momma asks "Well, then what do you need help with." Of course they would be supportive.

The next day, we are loading up a shipping pod with all of our things and Pop pays to have it shipped to Charming. We spend the next couple of days spending with Pop and Momma and saying our goodbyes before boarding the plane back to California. Once we get off the plane, I see Happy reach for Molly's bag and carries it for her. Getting to the van, we get inside and they take us to Juice's house. Once we get there, we walk in and Juice just looks around. "There's meals prepped in the fridge that Venus prepared and the kitchen is stocked with food and the house has been cleaned. All you have to do is unpack." Chibs says. "Thanks guys." Juice says. "Get settled in and we will have church in the morning to make it all official." Tig says. "Thanks again guys." Juice says and they all nod before heading out. My dad walks to the door and kisses my cheek and says "I'll see you tomorrow?" I nod before he heads out. Looking at Happy, he's sitting on the couch and Molly is sitting beside him and they are talking. Juice walks over and pulls me close. Looking at what I am looking at, he says "Wonder where that's going?" I look at him and say "I don't know."
