It had been early mornings and long nights for him recently and it was frustrating the Costello man. He wasn't getting much time to spend with Shay and Leela, leaving an opening for Jax Teller to spend time with the two most important women in his life and he couldn't stand it.

"Costello." A voice called out from Deputy Chief Hale's office. "Agent Stahl wants to speak to you."

A frustrated sigh left Ben's mouth as he ran a hand over his face. Stahl was a thorn in his side since she arrived in town and tried to take down SAMCRO just like agents before had tried to do many times before.

"Now, Costello." The voice demanded, growing impatient as Ben stayed seated at his desk.

Ben grunted as he got up from his desk, no emotions on his face as his dark eyes stared at the agent who demanded his presence to be in the same office at June Stahl.

"What?" Ben questioned as he stepped into the office, his hands resting on his hips as he stared at the blonde slender woman.

He couldn't stand how smug she always looked, like everything she was doing was perfect. Ben didn't like SAMCRO either, but he knew Stahl was going about taking the club down all wrong, but she was too proud to see that.

June smirked at Ben for a moment before turning her attention onto Agent Estévez. "Thank you, Agent Estévez." She said before the man nodded and quickly left the office, leaving Stahl and Ben alone.

"Please, sit down office Costello." June motioned to the chair across from her. "We have things to discuss." She added with her infamous shit eating grin.

Ben eyed the empty chair for a moment before reluctantly sitting down across from the woman. He knew there was nothing good about to come from her mouth — so far nothing good had ever come from it.

"Shay Miller," June began as she tossed a folder onto the desk. "your girlfriend. She's also the mother of Jax Teller's daughter and she's connected to SAMCRO."

Ben stared at the folder on the desk, keeping his face emotionless as Stahl spoke about Shay. He knew Stahl was going to find out about Shay. It would be naive of him to think she wouldn't look into her. Shay was so close to the club and Jax. He was sure Stahl had a file on Shay since the moment she arrived in town. The ATF agent was probably just holding onto it, waiting for the perfect moment to use it.

"She has a kid with Teller." Ben shrugged. "What's the point?"

A small chuckle left Stahl's lips. "So you're okay playing step daddy? That's sweet."

Ben scratched at his beard at June's comment. That one irked him, but he won't let know that. He would keep his poker face on — this wasn't his first time dealing with a smug ATF agent.

"Well, it's not just that Teller's the father of her daughter is it? Caleb Miller is a long time mechanic for Teller-Morrow isn't he? Granted, he's not a member himself, but I'm sure he knows what goes on. Also, her sister Natalie is with Herman Kozik. Please, stop me if I'm wrong officer Costello." Stahl smirked as she opened the folder on the desk and began flipped through it.

"Oh, let's see arrested for public intoxication in her teens, but oh, looks like Unser got that taken care of.  Her mother is a junkie and was arrested multiple times, but Unser took care of that too. I mean, by how many times that woman was caught with drugs on her she should be spending years in prison."

Ben's jaw tightened as he listened to Stahl listen off things about Shay's life — some things he didn't even know himself.

"It just goes to show you never really truly know someone." June said with a false sadness in her voice. "There's more in here. If you wanna learn more about your girlfriend." She said while pushing the folding towards Ben.

A huff left Ben's mouth as he stood up from the chair and left the office without a word. June Stahl wasn't going to get inside of his head like she had been trying to do since she got to Charming. The woman was evil and she was going to get people killed — or herself and he wanted no part in it.

"She looks like you more and more every time I see her." Jax commented with a smile as he picked Leela up into his arms.

"I think she looks like both of us." Shay said as she looked at Jax and Leela.

The Miller woman could see both herself and Jax in their daughter. Leela had Jax's nose and her face face shape. She was in her opinion a perfect combination of both of them and she had always thought that.

"I'm gonna go put her down for a nap and then we gotta talk." Jax said as his tone went from happy to serious.

A sigh left Shay's mouth as she nodded. She knew a talk would be coming soon. Jax still hadn't mention anything to her about the ATF agent in town, and he hadn't questioned her about Ben yet either. Shay had rules when it came to both Ben and Jax — regrading their work lives.

She didn't ask much and they didn't tell much, but with Jax he would tell her everything if she asked, but with Ben she would never ask because his job involved trying to take down SAMCRO and that was a big reason why their relationship could be strained at times.

It was a few minutes later when Jax walked out of Leela's room, running a hand over his face. He had gone from being happy and carefree, playing with Leela to stressed in a matter of minutes.

"What's wrong Jax?" Shay asked as she scratched at her forehead.

It was obvious something was bothering him and it was making Shay anxious to think of all the different things it could be.

"Has Benny boy told you about the ATF agent in town?" Jax questioned.

Jax always thought Ben tried to be a David Hale 2.0, that he tried to be Charming's golden boy by stating his dislike for SAMCRO. The only difference between Hale and Costello was that the latter was smarter about voicing his dislike of SAMCRO.

"You know we don't talk about his work." Shay said with a deep sigh. "Just like I don't ask you much about the club business." Shay needed to keep her life as normal as possible for the sake of Leela, and herself some days.

"You do know she's in town though? Trying to get at everyone and take the club down." Jax asked as he ran a hand over his blonde hair.

"Yeah." Shay nodded, not saying anything more. She wouldn't tell Jax exactly how she knew the woman was in town. She wouldn't tell him about her and Donna's conversation — just yet at least.

"She's gonna try and get to you, she's gonna use Ben to get to you." Jax stated as his voice grew with anger. "He hates the club but he hates me more." He added as he shook his head.

"Jax," Shay began before Jax's voice cut her off.

"He hates me Mills and you're dating him. How could you date that piece of shit? How could you allow him around my daughter?" He ranted as he paced around the room.

Shay stared at Jax as he paced around the living room, watching him unravel. She hadn't seen Jax this worked up since Tara left for Chicago. It pissed her off to hear Jax talk to her like this. Jax wasn't father of the year and everyone knew that so for him to have the audacity to say shit about Ben pissed her off.

"Excuse me? I'm sorry but if you haven't noticed Jax, Ben takes care of your daughter when you don't come around here. Don't act like you're father of the fucking year." Shay spat as she crossed her arms across her chest.

Rage was running through Shay's veins as she spoke each word. How dare he come in her home and have the fucking audacity to do this.

"You're dating a fucking cop, Shay!" Jax yelled as he stopped pacing and walked towards the raven haired woman. "He could take down the fuckin' club!" He said as he stood in front of her, blue eyes staring into blue eyes.

A scoff left Shay's mouth at Jax's words, "I doubt Benjamin Costello alone could take down SAMCRO."

"You're so fucking frustrating." Jax groaned as he ran a hand over his face.

"Likewise, Teller." Shay grinned.

A small grin took over Jax's face as he looked at Shay. The two best friends and ex lovers stood there staring at each other, a feeling passing between the pair as they continued to grin at each other. Jax placed a hand on Shay's face before quickly pulling the woman in for a kiss.

Shay gasped a bit as Jax's lips moved against hers. It had been so long since she had felt Jax's lips on hers and it felt like home. A small moan left her throat as Jax slid his tongue into her mouth, exploring her mouth.

Jax picked Shay up, instinctively she wrapped her legs around his waist as he carried her towards the bedroom. In that moment nothing mattered — not even Ben. It was Shay and Jax like before, both of them hungry for each other.

𝘈𝘕 —
So...Ben's a cop ! A few people thought he was cheating but nope, just a cop. Jax and Shay finally hooked up...there's gonna be a lot of problems because of that. Thank you for the votes and comment! Oh , and that isn't the end of the folder from Stahl either.
