Chapter 34

As Piney pulled into the lot, Jax headed towards him before he could make it into the club house. He wanted to make sure that Piney didn't do anything stupid. Jax knew Piney had been doing some digging into Opie's death. He had already visited the Niners and tried to kill 2 of them before Jax got there and managed to get both of them out alive. Now, Piney believed it was the Mayans who killed Opie and planned the stealing of the SUV to make it look like a Niner hit all thanks in part to Trammell who had obviously earned his pay from Clay. Jax couldn't bring himself to tell Piney what he knew. It would absolutely kill or get the old man killed if he ever found out the truth. Jax know Piney would go after Clay and Tig and kill them both of her found out the truth.

About a week ago, Clay, Jax, and Tig had come up with this little rouse time give Piney some peace of mind by pinning in on the Mayans. Clay knew Jax wouldn't be the one to tell Piney the truth so they had come up with this scheme. The rest of the club knew what Trammell's report said so they were in the dark just as much as Piney was.

When Jax reaches Piney, he hugged him patting him on the back twice.

"Hey old man. I need to grab a couple guys and we'll head out" said Jax.

"I'll be ready" said Piney.

Jax walked back to the garage and grabbed Chibs and Tig. Clay had insisted Tig be in on this. He probably wanted to make sure things went by the book. Jax and Piney loaded into the van and left the lot while Chibs and Tig followed into heir bikes.

**************************************Tinsley stayed in the office until sometime after lunch. She was bored and needed something to do. She caught sight of Half Sack in the garage and asked him to place abel in the stroller for her so she could head over to the club house. She figured while she had him alone, she could ask how things were with going with Willow. She noticed that Half Sack has been walking around with this shit eating grin on his face lately but she hadn't seen them in quite awhile. She had talked to willow on the phone but hadn't seen her since Opie's funeral.

"How are things with you and Willow?" Asked Tinsley.

"Going great" said Half Sack.

"Where's she been hiding? I haven't seen her in what feels like forever. She calls me everyday but that's about it" said Tinsley.

"She's been working a lot and hanging out at her place." Said Half Sack.

"I gotcha. Well we need to get together and hang out soon. I miss you guys" said Tinsley.

"We will. I promise" said Half Sack just before he walked back out to the garage area to get back to work.

Tinsley felt like he hadn't give her the full truth of what was going on. She knew Willow too good to not know that something was going on and they just weren't telling her.

When she got into the club house, Gemma was putting the finishing touches on all the party decorations for Bobby. She had went all out but it was done tastefully in true Gemma fashion. There were balloons with thr SAMCRO logo, blue and black streamers from one corner of the room to the next. The bar was fully stocked and new kegs of beer had been brought in. Food was being brought by all the other charters that were attending and they had even brought in some call girls for Bobby: Tinsley didn't know how she felt about them but she knew she trusted Jax and that was all that mattered. But, if some heffer was to rubbed up on Jax, she might have to rub her face into a concrete wall. It was sure to be a big thing when Bobby finally made it back here.

Walking over to the bar to have a seat, she asked the crow eater behind the bar for a bottle of water. Gemma walked over to her and had a seat.

"How are you feeling baby" said Gemma.

"Bored to death. I need a tv or something in that office. I think I have seen every single YouTube video that was ever made." Said Tinsley.

"I bet. Why don't you head on to the house and I'll finish up here for you. Things have been slow and I'm sure you can find something to do at home." Said Gemma.

"That sounds really good actually. I could use a nap and so could my little guy here" said Tinsley as she leaned over to rub Abel's head.

"Give me a few minutes and I'll carry you home. Call Jax and let him know where your going to be" said gemma.

Gemma headed off towards the office while Tinsley called Jax. She didn't expect him to answer since she knew he was busy with whatever he had to help Piney with today. It rang 6 times before going to voicemail so she decided to leave a message and tell him she, the babies, and Abel were all feeling fine but they were going home since it was pretty slow at the garage. By the time Tinsley was done on the phone, Gemma walked back into the club house.

"You ready baby?" Asked Gemma.

"Almost. Just got to grab Abel's diaper bag and car carrier." Said Tinsley.

"Both are already in my car. Let's get out of here" said Gemma.

Once they were at Gemma's car, Gemma loaded Abel into his seat and put his stroller in the trunk. They pulled out of the lot and headed towards Jax's. On the way home, they passed the flea market that was set up just outside of town.

"Care if we stop in and see what they have?" Said Gemma.

"Sure. I don't know how much I should be on my feet but flea markets are one of my favorite things. I love a good deal" said Tinsley.

"Let's see what we can find. If you get tired, we will head out" said Gemma.

"Sounds good" said Tinsley.

It was a beautiful winter afternoon as Gemma, Tinsley, and Abel all walked from booth to booth at the flea market finding knick knack items. It was in the upper 50's outside so they were able to walk around with just light weight jackets and a blanket for Abel. At one booth, Tinsley found some handcrafted shadow box's that were made out of whitewashed barn wood. They would be perfect for each of the kids. As they walked around a little more, they stopped at a cigar booth. Gemma wanted to get Clay something while she was there. As Gemma looked through all the varieties of cigars, Tinsley looked at thr different zippo style lighters they had for sell.

"That's a good choice" said thr man working the booth.

"Really? I want to find something special for my guy." Said Tinsley.

"Must be one lucky guy" said the booth operator.

"That he is. Do you do engraving?" Asked Tinsley.

"We sure do. What would you like it to say?" Said the booth operator.

"Umm, maybe something along the line of 'I want you today, tomorrow, next week, and for the rest of my life- Love Tins'. Will that fit on there?" Asked Tinsley

"Yea, I can do that. Could I interest you and putting his monogram on the front?" Asked the booth operator.

"Sure. His name is Jax. Jax Teller. So maybe just the JT and not the full name?" Asked Tinsley.

"Sure" said the booth operator.

Tinsley noticed that the guys attitude changed slightly when she mentioned Jax's name. Could he have been someone who's had a run in with Jax? She really didn't know. After a few minutes, the guy was done with thr engraving on the gold zippo she had picked out.

"Thanks" said Tinsley.

"You're welcome" said the booth operator kind of coldly.

"You ready baby?" Said Gemma.

"Yea, I'm getting kind of tired" said Tinsley.

They all headed for the Cadillac and headed to Jax's. Tinsley and Abel both had fallen asleep in the short ride to Jax's house. After parking the Cadillac, Gemma woke Tinsley and carried Abel inside and laid him in the pack and play in the living room. He would be fine there until Jax got there.

"You need anything sweetheart?" Asked Gemma.

"No, I'm fine. I'm gonna lay her on the couch for a while and then I'll get ready for the party tonight. What time will the nanny be here?" Asked Tinsley.

"She should be here in about 30 minutes. I asked if she could come early in case you needed any extra help." Said Gemma.

"Thanks Gem. That was really thoughtful of you. These babies are draining the energy right out of me. It's like I'm tireder today than I have been the whole time and we just found out that it was triplets and not one. Is it even possible that the exhaustion is in my mind since finding out?" Asked Tinsley jokingly.

"Baby you have been exhausted the whole time. You just didn't want to admit it." Said Gemma.

"I guess your right?" Said Tinsley yawning.

"I'm gonna head out. I'll see you and Jax tonight at the club" said gemma.

Tinsley laid on the couch for about 20 minutes before the doorbell rang. Going to the door, she looked though the peep hole to see who it was. Tinsley cautiously opened the door incase this woman was a threat.

"Ms. Andrews? My name is Neeta. Gemma hires me to keep Abel tonight" said the lady.

"Sure, some on in. Abel's lying in the pack and play napping." Said Tinsley.

The two walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. Tinsley ran through Abel's feeding schedule and toys that he liked. After the two had talked for awhile, Abel began to stir. It was time for him to eat. Tinsley went into the kitchen and mixed him a bottle. Bringing it back TJ the living room, she handed it to Neeta who had already picked Abel up from his pack and play. Abel seem Ed to like her and Neeta seemed to have a good handle on kids so Tinsley felt comfortable enough leaving the two of them alone while she went upstairs to get ready. Tinsley got into the shower and washed her hair and conditioned it.

After she was done with her shower, she decided to go ahead and get dressed. Pulling in a pair of black leggings, she drug out one of Jax's white SAMCRO shirts . She cut the collar off of it making the neck hole bigger so that it would be an off the shoulder style. As she got dressed, she realized how much bigger her chest was growing and all the other changes in her body. Some days she hated the changes but most she loved them because of the lives that were growing inside her.

Once she was done getting dressed, she headed into the bathroom to blow dry and style her hair. She applied her makeup making herself look presentable since she had limited choice in clothing right now.

As she was putting the finishing touches on her hair, Jax walked into the bedroom. He stripped down and went straight to the shower without even saying a word. Tinsley has learned that when Jax was like that to let him be for a few minutes before bombarding him immediately. While he showered, she went downstairs to check on Abel. He was playing with Neeta. She went back upstairs to grab Jax's dirty clothes and noticed the bandanna in his back pocket. It was covered in blood. Jax cut the star off and climbed out of the shower just as she noticed the blood.

"Are you ok" asked Tinsley as she walked towards Jax making sure he wasn't cut anywhere.

"Yea. It's not my blood" said Jax.

"Ok..." said Tinsley.

"It's been a rough day." Said Jax.

"So tell me about it. Get it off your chest so it doesn't eat you alive" said Tinsley.

"It's not something I want you to know all the gory details too" said Jax

"Full disclosure remember?" Asked Tinsley.

Jax stood there for a minute, towel draped around his waist, and thought about what Tinsley was asking. He seemed to make his decision.

"I helped Piney kill a man today" said Jax.
