Take Me to Church
Chapter Twenty-One
It was early the next morning that we arrived back in Charming, and damn did I mean early. At least it felt like that to me. We were all stuck in the same clothes we had been wearing yesterday, I definitely felt gross.
Not only that, but we were all exhausted. No matter how much we all tried to get some sleep, Abel just wasn't having it. The entire plane ride, Abel was screaming and crying because of the pressure in his ears- therefore keeping us all awake the entire time. So, I was more than happy when we returned home.
So, upon arriving back at the club, I was rather quick to go back to the apartment to shower and change into some clean clothes. The clothes I picked out consisted of blue jeans, a purple tank top, a plaid over shirt, my cut, and a pair of galaxy vans. I pulled my wet hair back into a ponytail. Then, once I was ready, I made my way out of the apartment and into the chapel with everyone else.
We had been successful at getting Abel back and bringing him home safely- but apparently now Tara was missing.
"ATF and Charming PD are digging into Salazar. They talked to the aunt that owns the house, and they rattled a few of calaveraz. So far they got nothing." Tig was the one to inform us all. "Alright, I'll check with Unser. You see where Sthall is." Clay ordered, looking towards Jax. "We've got a complication." Kozik spoke up.
"Alvarez found out the cops are all over Salazar. Now if any of his get picked up, he could seriously blow it with information about this heroin operation." Tig was once more the one to explain further. "If Mayans are looking for Salazar, they're not going to give a shit about protecting Tara." Jax growled out. "Call Alvarez, let's set a meet. And, uh, let's call this aunt who owns the house, maybe we can convince her to share some info on little Hector."Clay ordered.
With that, Clay dismissed us. Chibs gave my hand a small squeeze before we went our separate ways.
I made my way over to Gemma, who handed Abel over to me before walking behind the bar. The two Prospects were following her every move; and I couldn't help but laugh at that. It was hilarious.
Though, I couldn't help but wonder what happened to our third little prospect. What happened to scare him away from the club so quickly?
As I was holding Abel, Lyla came walking over to me and looked lovingly at the boy in my arms. What I noticed more than that, was Opie. His eyes were glued to the blonde, and it was obvious to me how much he loved seeing Lyla with kids- loved seeing Lyla with Abel to be exact.
I kept the boy in my arms until he began crying; and judging by the horrid smell his tears were caused by a dirty diaper. "Hey Gemma, I'm going to go change Abel's diaper and try to get him down for a nap since he didn't get any sleep on the plane." I explained as I moved to grab the diaper bag off of the bar top. "Alright baby, you try to get some rest too." She flashed me a smile..
With that, I carried Abel and the bag down the hallway and into the apartment. I lay his blanket down on the bed before laying him down on top of the blanket. There was a large smile on his face as I struggled to breath against the horrid smell.
How could such a small boy create such a large smell?
I cleaned Abel up the best I could, and cleaned up the area before crawling up onto the bed with him. Pulling him into my side, I made sure to prop his head up on the pillow. He shifted slightly, making himself comfortable before very quickly falling asleep. So, doing my best not to disturb him, I put my arm over him before snuggling into my pillow and falling asleep as well.
I'm not sure how long the two of us had been sleeping, but I was shaken awake by my husband, who was now holding Abel in his arms.
"What's going on?" I yawned, sitting up on the bed. "Come on, love. It's time to head home, and Tara wants to see Abel.."He spoke with a smile on his face. "Tara? Oh, is she okay?" I gasped, moving to get off of the bed.
"Yes, sweetheart. Tara's just fine, she and Jax just got back and they are both very eager to spend some time with their son. And I am eager to go home, lay in bed with my gorgeous wife, and get some well deserved rest." He said with a smirk. Standing, I took the baby from his arms and picked up the diaper bag. "Oh hush, and let's go." I couldn't help but laugh at him.
Upon noticing me with Abel, Tara was quick to come over and take the small boy out of my arms without saying a word.
I watched the way Tara and Jax interacted with their son, it was absolutely amazing. At least, I thought so. Especially with everything that was going on around here recently.
Feeling a hand come down to rest on my shoulder, I leaned my body softly back against my husband's chest. In return his arm wrapped around my waist and he held me there. Leaning down, his lips were directly next to mt ear, "That's going to be us one day, love." He whispered softly in my ear.
Smiling my hand moved to find his own, and intertwined our fingers together. "I hope so. Now, let's go home." I said as I turned to look up at him.
He laughed slightly at me, obviously in agreement; and with that, we left to go home.
