Sienna had been at the SAMCRO clubhouse for a few days now. She still didn't really understand why she was needed to be here, it's not like Kitty had told them all about her with the exception of Gemma.
She had mostly kept to herself keeping entertained with the old guitar that was in the room she had claimed as hers.
She wasn't aware but little by little the group outside her room got bigger, just so they could hear her sing. It had become a highlight of an otherwise stressful time.
Chibs had wanted to keep that little piece of sunshine to himself but once Tig had heard that was gone, he knew she could sing but did not have a clue how well. "She does open mic at the coffee shop, just never seen her myself." Tig confessed. "Aye, we'll 'ave ta change tha'." Chibs said with a smile, the wheels in his head spinning as an idea came to him.

Sienna had ventured down to the kitchen to grab herself a drink and fix a snack when she overheard her 2 favourite men discussing something. "Chibs, you sure you want to ask her to do that?" she heard her cousin sounding more nervous than she ever had, more so than when they first met. "Think bou' it, kiddo's are stuck here jus' like tha lass is, could go a lon' way ta cheering all o'us up." Sienna heard a sigh and movement towards her so she grabbed what she had and made a run back to the dorm.
She sat on the bed munching on the chips she had snagged from the kitchen whilst reading a book Gemma had loaned her by the time her favourite Scotsman had joined her in the room. She carefully folded the edge of the page to keep her place before she placed the book down and met the dark brown eyes that reminded her of coffee with a hint of cream, of the man staring at her with a thoughtful look on his handsome face.
Sienna sighed and decided the let him know that she had heard the conversation he had with Tig and watched as the thoughtful look changed to one of amusement. "Ye a sneaky one, we ne'er heard ya." he said as she smiled softly. "I can't promise anything other than I'll think about it." she all but whispered. "Tha's all I ask love." he said as he slightly tipped his head and left her room.
Sienna returned to reading the book but found she could no longer concentrate on it, instead the idea of singing for the kids took over her thoughts. She knew she could do it at the open mic nights she held but it was different to be singing in front of those she was just starting to get to know.
Making her mind up she grabbed the guitar and made her way downstairs silently making her way to Chibs side and leaned in close. "You are right, the kids need some sort of normal in this abnormal situation." she said with a small smile. Chib's eyes lit up knowing he had convinced her to share her talent and guided her over to where the kids were sat colouring.
"Kenny, Ellie ya remember Sienna?" he asked. Both kids smiled and nodded their heads. "Well Sienna here is goin' ta help yas to chill ou' fo'a bit." he said as Sienna moved a bar stool over so she could get comfortable.
Knowing she had their full attention she began to strum one of her favourite songs.
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
In the land that I've heard of once, once in a lullaby
Sienna lost herself in the song as she continued to sing and play, the clubhouse was silent but for the sounds of her lilting voice and the strumming of the guitar as everyone stopped to listen to the haunting sound.
By the time she finished and opened her eyes there was mass applause making a small blush rise to her face and she caught the chocolate eyes of Chibs who was smiling like a Cheshire cat as he made his way over to place a soft kiss to her cheek.
"Tha's ma girl."
