Pixie, First Daughter of Anarchy: Book 2

Storm Clouds

Warning: Contains drug references.

Three weeks had passed since the latest drama had hit the Sons. For the most part, things had settled down again, but Clay was getting groucher and grouchier by the day, which Pixie put down to Gemma still being distant towards him. Gemma was struggling with the aftermath of the attack on her and was getting back to normal, but it was slow progress. Pixie and Charlie had been trying to get her to think about therapy or a support group, but Gemma wouldn't hear of it.

The Mayans, Niners and Sons had all taken time to regroup and recover after the vicious shootout that cost them a casualty each. They'd all agreed to lay low and get the Nords to back off for a moment until they could recover and work on creating a peace treaty, which was probably going to be the most complex part. Laroy communicated with Pixie and vice versa, the pair of them giving updates and making sure everything was fine on either end.

Pixie used the downtime to allow her shoulder to fully heal up again. Now her stitches were out, she went straight into regaining the strength and muscle control back into her trapezoid and other damaged muscles, so she was back on fighting form and wasn't going to be vulnerable out on the field. Pixie also spent her time babysitting for Lowell, the Winstons, and Jax when he needed a free evening or just some downtime to destress. When she wasn't doing that, she was gaming with Juice, riding around with Jax, renovating and snuggling with Tig, helping Bobby get back on his feet, relaxing with Piney and Chibs, and working in the garage. Half-Sack and Charlie had signed up for baby classes and had started coming up with names for their baby girl on the way, as well as trying to renovate their little house ready for the arrival in just under five months time.

Piney had been thoroughly enjoying ferrying around the pornstar girls and Luann as it made him feel important and like he had a proper role in the club dynamics again, as well as being able to spend time with drop-dead gorgeous women, who were very grateful for his support. So far, there had been no more advances from Georgie, and Jax, Luann and Pixie were tentatively hoping things would stay that way.

Jax had also started to become closer to Lyla. They'd started when Jax went to go check on her to see how she was healing up and ended up staying at her house for the day, getting to know her, and her son, Axel-Colt. Axel was five years old and had a shaggy mop of blonde hair, striking blue eyes and a cheeky smile. Axel was constantly on the go and Jax really enjoyed goofing off with him and Lyla, getting to know them both better and seeing if he had a connection with Lyla, as Pixie had hinted. Jax was considering nicknaming Pixie 'Cupid' because, after the first visit with Lyla, the chemistry between the pair became electric. Lyla was a strong woman who knew what she wanted, had confidence in herself and her body, but wasn't one to brag. She was humble, kind and honest, as well as intelligent and funny. She liked how confident Jax was too, and was quick to pick up on how gentle and playful he was with Axel, and how he took the time to listen to her too. He wasn't after just her body or her profession, which already put him above the past few guys Lyla had tried to date and quickly blacklisted, Axel's biological father being one of them, especially as he had run off the second he realised Lyla was pregnant. The next time Lyla had a free day, Jax invited her to his place with Axel so they could meet Abel and could spend more time together playing 'house', seeing if all four of them would work under one roof. Lyla's main focus was a good life for Axel and wanted the best for him, and Jax felt the same way about his little boy's future.

After the first successful dates, the pair were meeting up whenever they could, with and without the kids so they could learn as much about each other and just embrace the head-over-heels attraction they had for each other. Things naturally got very frisky between the two quite rapidly once they got closer to each other and established both were okay with the fact each other had a kid, and each other had interesting lifestyle choices that they weren't about to change any time soon. Jax found that he was surprisingly okay with Lyla's profession, she enjoyed it, she was good at it, and she made it clear that what she did, felt like just another day at the office for her. Whereas when Lyla and Jax were together, she loved it because she felt a bond with him and the sex was better because of it. Lyla also made it clear that when Jax was spending time with her, she wanted to hear how his day was, and wanted honesty in the relationship, even if it meant gory details and outlaw activities. Jax was blown away by Lyla taking things in her stride and speaking her mind when she felt there was a problem. He felt like he could start to depend on her and was slowly working on opening up and talking to her about things on his mind and some of the Sons business that didn't need to be kept within the chapel walls. They were now on week four of their romantic adventure, and even though they hadn't put a label on it as of yet, the rest of the Sons were placing bets on how long it'd be until they moved in with each other and Jax made it official. Gemma had been very hesitant and a little hostile at first, but with Charlie and Pixie taking Lyla's side and forcing Gemma to be nice and actually get to know Lyla first, she quickly warmed to the new woman in Jax's life, especially when she saw how attentive Lyla was towards Jax and Abel.
