   The next day, Lucy woke up to knocking on her door, she sleeply got out of bed, stretching before walking towards the door. She open the door, only to finally wake up to screams of her nieces and nephews. 

"Auntie Luci." They yelled as they hug her so tight making her hug them back.

"Hey, Auntie babies. How are you?" Lucy said while hugging them back.

"Gooddd." The kids said singing like a choir. The kids back up from the hug, letting her look at how big they gotten since she last saw them.

"Where's your mother?" Lucy said to them as she touch their faces.

"She's getting the bags." Tommy,her first born said looking at her. Lucy gave him and Jaquan a look of disapproval.

"Now Tommy and Jaquan, Who's the men of the house?" Lucy said as she look at them.

"We are." They said as they walk to help their mother. Lucy knew they knew better. She help Amara raise them after all since they was young.

Amara, Their mother and Lucy's Sister, walk in, Lucy walk towards her as Amara with the help of Tommy and Jaquan drop the bags on the ground.

"Baby Sis!" Amara said pulling Lucy in a well-needed tight hug. The hug lasted for a good 45 seconds before she pulled away from her.

"Hey Mara, How are you?" Lucy said as they look at each other.

"I'm good. Just been working." Amara said as she watch Lucy tell the boys where to take the bags.

"That's good, Ready for me to show you Charming." Lucy said smiling.

"Hell yeah!" Amara said as they started laughing at her shouting.

"Well, I'm going to go get ready while you and the kids freshen up." Lucy said heading to the bathroom to get ready. Amara and her kids freshen up and waited up front. 

......................................

By the time, she was done, Amara and the kids was ready. 

"Alright, Let's go." Lucy said grabbing her keys and purse.

Everyone got in the car as she started it up. She back out of her driveway before pulling off down the street, stopping at the stop sign.

"This town is small. Not like the other cities that we been too." Amara said as she looked at the window. Lucy look both ways to see if a car was coming before turning right.

Amara and the kids look out the window as they pass Teller-Morrow Automotive. Lucy points out her place of work, and the police department. The familiar sedan stood out to her. That bitch Stahl was back. 

"It's okay. It's great town". Lucy said avoiding looking at Amara, hoping her Amara didn't see but she did.

"What are you hiding Luci?" Amara said looking at Lucy who seem to have done more in this great town then she's told.

"I hoped you are not doing that here too." Amara continued not giving Lucy a chance to say anything.

"It was only one time." Lucy said as she turned the car left, going down the street.

Amara scoffs at her. She couldn't believe this shit. That stupid whore of a manager of hers was a pain in her ass. That bitch introduced her sweet little sister into Cam Girling. And her ex-boyfriend let her.

"It was that money -hungry whore,wasn't it." Amara said before looking to see if her children was paying attention, They wasn't which she was happy about.

" She's not a whore." Lucy said taking up for the woman who had help her back when she needed her.

"Well, She did intoduce you to that good for nothing boyfriend, didn't she?" Amara said at this point pissed that her sister would have the nerve to take up for that loose pussy ass hoe. 

"Please don't bring him into this". Lucy pleaded making Amara calm down looking at her poor sister sadly.

"Lucy, I'm sorry honey." Amara said but she was ignored as Lucy cut up the  jamz playing on the radio.

Lucy pulled into the parking lot of a diner couple blocks down from police department. They got out, walking to the door of the diner. Lucy open the door, letting them go in first before she did.

They sat down at a big booth on the right side of the diner. Amara tried to make converstion with Lucy as they waited for the waitress.

"This Town is nice enough. Not enough color though but if you like it. I love it ."  Amara said laughing a laugh, that was contagious enough to have Lucy laughing with her.

"Yeah, that's what I thought when I first came here." Lucy said as their waitress walk over.

Hillary/third pov:

"Hi my name is Hillary. I'm your waitress for today. What can I get cha?" Hillary said to the beautiful women and kids in front of her.

"We will let the kids go first". The woman in the silk shirt said. Hillary looked at the children as they started looking at the menu before talking.

" I want the Bacon Cheeseburger with Fries and a Sprite." Tommy said as Hillary wrote it down asking him if he wanted everything on it.

" Yes thank you". Tommy said as she turned to Jaquan.

"And for you?" Hillary said.

" I want the Chicken Fried Steak with everything and a Sweet Tea?" Jaquan said which Hillary nodded writing it down. Hillary looked at the next two children.

"And what about you sweetie?" Hillary said. 

"I want the chicken strips with mac and cheese with lemonade please". Amelia said in a soft chime voice that Hillary found adorable.

"Sure thing, sweetie." Hillary said as she wrote it down before looking at sweet little Charlie, who cuddled up next to Amara.

"And you cutie?" Hillary said as Charlie look at her before she replied

"I want mac and cheese with- Do you have chicken nuggies?" Charlie said with her big brown eyes.

"Sorry, sweetie we don't", Hillary said making Charlie pout cutely.

"I'll take the Chicken Strips then with Apple Juice." Charlie said making Hillary write it down.

"And for the Adults", Hilary said as she look at both women.

"I want the Club Sandwich with Fries and Water with a Lemon." Lucy said as she want Hillary write her order down.

"I want the Swiss Cobb salad with a Water." Amara said as Hillary nodded as she written it down.

"Do you want a lemon in your water also?" Hillary asked making Amara shake her head "No". Hillary nodded before taking the menus and walking to put their order in.

"So what has been going on in this small town of yours?" Amara questioned.

"Ya'know work and that's it." Lucy said making Amara look at her with 'You think I'm stupid face' facial expression.

"No I don't know that's the point of me asking you." Amara said to Lucy.

"Okay, Fine." Lucy said as she told the story of what happen since she got here except of her helping a person that got shot and vague of the motorcycle club.

"Damn." That's all Amara could say.

"Yeah." Lucy said.

"So who is this Jax character that keep popping up?" Amara said. Lucy would've blushed if she could.

"He work at the Teller- Morrow Automotive that we pass by. He's a mechanic." Lucy said to Amara.

Before Amara could say anything, Hillary with the help of another waitress brought them their drinks and food. 

"Thank you so much!" Lucy said as Hillary and the another girl shouted back' you're welcome'.

(Time skip brought to you if Jax was a male stripper) {Just rain down on me, let your love  shower me}

Hillary brought them the bill of 59.81. Lucy paid the bill with a hundred, telling her to keep the change and also leaving a $10 tip. They got up, walking out. Hillary walk over seeing the $ 10 tip and the $100 dollar bill with the note on the bill telling her to keep the change. Hillary smiled before seeing the women and children get in the car. Hillary clean up the space, going to add the money in the computer and showing her manager the bill note, before grabbing the change. She gave Monica the 10 dollar bill for helping her. Today was a good day for her.

Lucy's/Third pov:

Lucy started the car, pulling out of the parking lot. Lucy continued to show her sister around.

"Soo Jax? He must be a white boy." Amara said looking at lucy while Lucy drove.

Lucy side eyed her with known bitch face.

"He is. no motherflipping way!" Amara said keeping it pg because of the children.

" Yes Mara, He is." Lucy said with a scowl.

"My sister want that white pen." Amara said hitting Lucy playfully while laughing.

Her phone started ringing catching the attention of Amara. The name 'Gemma' confused her.

"Who's Gemma?" Amara said looking at her.

"Its Jax's mother." Lucy said but it comes out as mumbles.

"Who?" Amara question.

" Jax's mother. I'm suppose to be meeting with her later." Lucy said/lied coming to a stop sign ,looking at Amara.

"Hol' up! his mother is trying- Does she know you like her son?!?" Amara exclaimed-questioned her baby sister.

"No she don't actually." Lucy said as she drove back down her street to drop them off.

"Mm-hm.. Just drop us off at the hou- Before she could finish her comment, Lucy pulled up in her driveway.

"Really Lucy?" Amara said to Lucy as her and the kids got out. Lucy told them where to find her spare key and drove off. Lucy drove to the cabin, they gave her the directions to. As soon as she pulled up, Gemma was waiting outside for her.

"Finally! I tried to calling you. Next time pick up the god damn phone!" Gemma yelled scolding her like a child.

" Sorry Gemma ... I had family business to take care of. I can't just drop everything for your every need." Lucy said walking pass gemma with her bag. Gemma watch her walk near Cameron.

"Okay Cameron, Let's check your injury." Lucy said as she helping him lie down.

Lucy check his injury making Cameron groans.

"Sorry. Everything checks out." Lucy said standing up to see Jax. 

"Thanks, Doc". Gemma said.

"You're welcome." Lucy said walking to her bag that was next to Jax. Jax stared at her with his usual look that he gives her.

"His dressings need to be changed every day." Lucy said to Jax who discreetly touch her hand, which to his displeasure she moved it.

"Just make sure he doesn't move around too much, he should be fine." Lucy said.

"Thanks. soo are we gonna talk about what happen between us the other night?" Jax said as he stood close to her.

"It's just a kiss, Jax. Did you sleep okay?" She said changing the conversation making Jax mad.

"Don't change the conversation." Jax said while Lucy gave him a look making him sigh.

"Yeah". Jax continued.

"Yeah?" Lucy questioned not liking his reply. He looked like he needed a well- needed sleep.

"Irishman good to go?" Jax said. Lucy nodded.

"Yeah, Good to go." Lucy said. Jax stood up with anger but kept his cool.

"The conversation is not over. Thanks , Doc." Jax said as he walk out. Gemma watch the two talk from where she was standing. She did not like that Lucy was playing with her son feelings. She was gonna have to talk to that brown tart.

Lucy walk out, nodding to gemma as she walk to her car. Jax wanted to talk about the kiss they shared. She was scared to start a relationship with him. The baggage from her and her secrets. His baggage and secrets. That was a hellstorm waiting to happen. She drove home thinking about her past mistakes. She got home, seeing her sister and her kids sleep up front made her smile. She tiptoed up stairs careful not to wake them up as she went to get ready to go to bed. As she got done, her sheeps was jumping over the moon when her head hit the pillow.

So I updated. I hope you guys like it. Chapter Nine is hand written and edited ready to type.

I have a question: Should I keep Opie's wife Donna still alive? I feel like her death was uncalled for. Some of their decisions was very stupid.

Do Jax have the right to be mad at Lucy?
