Leather & Lace: A Sons of Anarchy Fanfic

Chapter 73

Tinsley owed Gemma a ton of money to cover all the groceries she had used baking. She had made the strawberry cream cheese muffins she made when her and Jax first stared dating. She made a quiche full of all her favorite vegetables. There was banana pancakes, chocolate chip pancakes, homemade biscuits, sausage, bacon, eggs, cinnamon rolls with buttercream icing, and so much more. There was enough food laid out in Gemma's kitchen to feed an army. Even after all the cooking, Tinsley still felt restless. She needed more to do. Just as she was about to start making some croissants, Gemma came into the kitchen.

"Holy shit!" Said Gemma.

"Sorry. I was restless. I'll get some money and pay you back for all this" said Tinsley.

"No you want. There's enough food here for us for days. Most of it will end up going bad before we could eat it." Said gemma.

"Gemma, I can't just throw all this out when we have ate what we want of it. Baking is what I do when I get restless. Like I said, I'll pay you for using all your ingredients" said Tinsley.

"And I said I'm not taking anything for it. What we don't eat, we can take down to the homeless shelter and donate to them." Said gemma.

"There's a homeless shelter here? I didn't know that." Said Tinsley.

"Well it's actually in Lodi. But either way, they will take all the donations they can get. I used to carry stuff regularly but lately I haven't had the time" said Gemma.

"Well that makes me feel better about using up your groceries" said Tinsley.

"Let's eat before the kids wake up" said Gemma wanting to change the subject.

The two of them sat down at the breakfast bar in the kitchen and began to eat. Neither of them said much. Just as they were finishing up, one of the babies began to cry. Tinsley got up from her chair and went into the living room and found Lizzie was the one crying. Picking her up, she snuggled her close in an attempt to calm her until she got feed her. Lizzie immediately nuzzled her face into Tinsleys chest indicating how hungry she was.

"Hold on baby. Mommas gonna feed you." Said Tinsley.

Tinsley walked over to the couch and sat down. Lifting her shirt, she unclasped her bra that was made for breast feeding and held Lizzie to her chest. Lizzie immediately began to nurse. Tinsley just looked down at her watching her nurse. She didn't know it was possible for anyone to be anymore perfect but all four of her kids were pretty damn close she thought.

Gemma came into the living room and watched Tinsley feeding Lizzie.

"You know, Jax did right by marrying you. He was so lost for so long that I didn't know that he would ever find someone who completed him. You two will get through all of this." Said gemma.

"Thanks Gem. I love him with my whole entire heart. He gave me the best gift anyone could ever give and this my family. He gave me these 4 kids. He gave me you and the club." Said Tinsley, he voice beginning to crack.

"Tinsley, you are part of this family. We all love you. And baby, don't ever forget that it was you who gave us these grand babies. Yes, Jax helped make them but it was you who carried them. It was you who gave birth to them, and it is you who is helping them grow." Said gemma.

"You're really going to make me cry" said Tinsley.

"No tears baby. I just felt like you needed to hear all that." Said gemma.

"Well thanks for that. I love all of you all. Y'all mean the absolute world to me. After my dad died, I was fucked up for a long time. Hell, I still am. But being around you all has showed me that family isn't just who you share blood with. It's who you can trust to be there for you when you need it. Gemma, I know I haven't thanked you nearly enough for all that you and the club have done for me and Jax and the kids. There is no way I can thank you enough. Without you, I don't know how I would get through the guys being gone. You show me what it means to be an old lady everyday." Said Tinsley.
