Lover of an Anarchist (based on characters from Sons of Anarchy)

Chapter Fourteen

(Nadine's P.O.V)
I couldn't believe it! I just found out that my dad has been here the whole time and that my younger sister is having a baby all in the space of one afternoon! Honestly I found the whole situation rather overwhelming. I was happy, angry, frustrated, excited and so many other emotions rolled into one.

I suppose in a way I was glad that my dad left because I probably would never have met Kip and although this life scared the shit out of me, I still ended up with more family in this club than I had other wise. So I guess I have Neve to thank for that.

(Neve's P.O.V)

Later that evening was Gemma's special celebratory dinner for Jax, Nad, Kip, Chibs and I. It was awesome. Loud but awesome. They'd invited members of the Tacoma charter down. I felt kinda weird about how the new SAMCRO prospect Miles was looking at me. He smiled and waggled his eyebrows at me in a flirty way when the other guys weren't watching. I smiled politely but uncomfortably back at him before turning to Jax. Jax whispered a joke in my ear making me laugh before Chibs stood up, clearing his throat. Once the chatter died down he continued.
"I'd just like to propose a toast," he began. "To my beautiful girls, to my club and to my future son-in-law, Jackie-Boy." Everyone applauded but I was shocked.
"What?!" I asked. Looking up at my smirking father before turning back to find Jax on one knee. He then reached into the pocket of his cut and pulled out a small box.
"Oh my god." I said excitedly as he opened the box to reveal a beautiful single band diamond ring.
"Are you proposing?" I asked. He nodded with a happy and anticipant smile on his face.
"Are you saying yes?" He asked me. I nodded with tears in my eyes and a happy smile on my face. He then slid the ring onto my left ring finger before pulling me into his arms, spinning me round and kissing me. This was turning out to be one of the happiest days of my life.

Later that night I went downstairs because I couldn't sleep and I walked into the living room only to find a very drunk Miles sitting on the couch.
"Hey Baby." He slurred as he stumbled to his feet.
"Hi Miles." I said protectively guarding my stomach with my arms. He staggered his way towards me and as I took a step backwards he tripped and pushed me down as he fell. I landed on my back. He straddled my waist as I tried to get away and kissed me roughly. I could taste the alcohol on his breath and it made me feel sick. I was also scared for the baby. The way he was sitting on me, he was sitting heavily on my stomach. I screamed as soon as I got the chance and much to my relief heard footsteps running down the stairs. Clay came in! I never thought I'd be glad to see him. He yanked Miles off me and shoved him out of the room.
"Asshole," he said. "Leave her alone." Then he came back to me and held his hands out to me. I placed my hands in his and he helped me to my feet.

As soon as I had my balance i unthinkingly flung my arms around him. He hugged me back.
"Thank you Clay." I said as I freed myself from his grasp.
"No problem Sweetheart," he said. "It's the least I can do after all the shit I put you through last year. I'm sorry Neve, for everything."
"That's probably true," I told him on a slight chuckle. "And I accept your apology but what you did to me isn't and will never be ok. You're lucky I'm accepting your apology because I'm not very good at accepting apologies or trusting after all the lies I've been told in my life. Well, by one person in particular."
"Who?" Clay asked.
"My ex, Marshall." I told him.
"You wanna talk about it?" He offered. I shook my head.
"No, I've already talked about it with all the people I need to for now. Maybe one day I'll trust you more but just not at this stage." He nodded understandingly.
"Ok," he said. "Goodnight Neve. Are you gonna be alright now?" I nodded.
"Yeah, night Clay." He patted me on the shoulder and walked back upstairs. I went to the kitchen, got a drink of water and then headed back up to mine and Jax's room. All the while wondering what had made Clay change his actions. More than likely Gemma had a big part in it. Turns out Jax heard the whole thing and Clay said that he'd help because Miles didn't listen to Jax. As soon as I entered the room I was pulled into a hug and asked if I was alright. If the baby was alright. I nodded to answer both questions before we went to bed. Jax held me in his arms all night and every thought of Miles or Clay or anything other than my man and my baby disappeared from my mind and I drifted into a deep and restful sleep.
