Leather & Lace: A Sons of Anarchy Fanfic

Chapter 104

"Hey guys" said Tinsley after gathering her emotions at the sight of Abel taking his first steps.

The whole bunch looked towards her and greeted her.

"He's walking Tins. Can you believe it?" Asked Jax. And bless his outlaw heart, he was crying.

"I saw. I'm so proud of him. He's getting so grown. Can you believe he will be 1 next week?" said Tinsley, her voice cracking at the emotions she was trying to cover.

"It's been quite a year" said Chibs.

"Yes it has" said Gemma.

"We should really get planning on his party ahem" said Tinsley.

"Don't you worry about that baby. You got plenty to worry about right now. I'll make the arrangements. All you guys will need to do is show up" said Gemma.

Tinsley knew Gemma was dying to know the result from the doctors office so she caught her when no one was watching and gave her a thumbs up. The grin that appeared on Gemma's face was one of the biggest, brightest, most genuine things Tinsley had ever witnessed. The only other time Tinsley had witnessed that smile was the day she and Jax got married. Had that really only been a few weeks ago? Now all she had to do was tell Jax. She wasn't sure when to tell him. If she told him while everyone was here, if he had a bad reaction, maybe the company would keep his blow up from being to bad but if his reaction was one of pleasure, well she wanted to share that with him all alone.

As everyone sat around joking, Tinsley interrupted them long enough to ask if the guys would unload the stuff out of the SUV. It didn't take long before they had everything in the house and to her surprise, they were actually helping her out things away.

As Tinsley places the last item away, Jax yelled from the living room.

"What's for dinner tonight?"

Instead of yelling back, she walked into the living room and looked around at the crowd. It still shocked her that she had moved here not knowing anyone and now here she was, a family of her very own choosing. They might be a wild and rowdy bunch, but she wouldn't change any of them for the world.

"Well, since everyone's already here, how does a big family dinner sound?" Asked Tinsley.

"You won't hear any complaints for me" said Chibs.

"None from me either" said Bobby.

"Means I don't have to cook" said Gemma.

"Ok, well what would you guys like. I'm in a cooking mood so name your wants. Nothing is too complicated." said Tinsley.

"Lasagna" said Juice

"Alfredo" said Chibs.

"Steaks" said Clay.

"Well you guys are going to have to decide. I've got some thing to do upstairs and when I come down, I need y'all to have made a decision." Said Tinsley.

"Ok. No restrictions? You'll make anything" asked Bobby.

"Anything y'all agree on as long as it ain't chitlins or liver" said Tinsley.

"I'm just going to pretend I know what a chitlin is" said Clay.

"It's pig intestines. Makes the whole house smell like pig shit for days after cooking them" said Tinsley.
