It's Never Once *SOA sequel*

"I don't know Jax..." Delilah said. "Right now I'm just really mad at you."

(*(

"I was always a son." Opie teased and kissed her. "I love you too."

Jax sighed, "Well the feeling is mutual. I mean seriously? You took off, broke my heart, kept me from my son but YOU'RE the one allowed to be mad?" Yeah whatever."

*&*

She wrapped her arms around his neck and kept kissing. He arrived a little late to work.

Delilah put her head in her hands, "I just wanted to keep Connor safe."

*&*

"About time fucker." Clay said as Opie walked in. He was kidding.

Jax frowned, "Opie and me grew up in this. We lived. And we never had problems as children. So that is just a cop out."

&^&

Opie smiled, "Good to be back."

Clay sighed, "I'm gonna say this once and go back to my usual self. I'm sorry."

"And look what you became!" Delilah snapped.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Jax growled.

*&*

Opie looked at him, "Thank you."

"You're a fucking psycho!!!" She hissed.

&^&

Several of the members greeted him throughout the day.

"A psycho whom you love." Jax said simply.

"I'm not in love with you anymore, Jackson." Delilah tried to lie.

*&*

"So I guess I have your permission to officially propose.." Opie muttered to Clay.

Jax scoffed, "I'm going to work. I'll let you think about shit for a while."

&*&

Clay looked at Opie, eyes narrowed slightly, "Uhm.....Yes. But if you ever hurt my daughter, you will be dead."

"See you later, Jax." Delilah sighed.

"You're not allowed to leave the house with Connor." Jax said as he paused at the door.

"You've got to be kidding." She raised an eyebrow.

"No. Juice and the Prospect will be outside all day. I don't feel like hauling ass back to Canada later." He muttered.

"Good bye, Jax." Delilah said, she was pissed. But happy Gemma was still there.

*&*

"I know." Opie said, "You don't need to worry about that."

Soon enough Jax arrived at the shop. He saw Opie and Clay and found it hard not to growl. He wasn't surprised when Opie walked over.

For being such a teddy bear, Opie looked pretty scary when you fucked with his family, "You need to stay the FUCK away from Sadie and Natalie. Don't text, don't call, NOTHING."

"Alright relax!" Jax snapped.

"NO. I mean fucking mean it!" Opie shouted, "I don't know what the fuck is wrong with you but you've been acting like a fucking psychopath lately and it needs to stop!"

*&*

"Well baby...that didn't sound good." Gemma softly as she walked out into the living to Delilah.

"You pulled a gun on your sister! Your niece was in the fucking room!" Opie was still shouting. Clay walked over. He placed a calming hand on Opie.

"Inside voices, boys." He said as he raised an eyebrow.

&*&

Delilah sighed, "I don't know what to do."

"She kept my CHILD from me." Jax said.

"She didn't know where they were!" Opie snapped.

"ENOUGH." Clay said, "Jax, just do as Opie requested."

"Fine by me." He shrugged.

*&*

Gemma sighed, "He's pissed. But he still loves you and I know you love him."

"It's not that easy." Delilah said.

Opie shook his head, "You're giving up your sister over nothing. You are sorry. Clay, I don't know if I can work here with him. I'm gonna go."

Clay rolled his eyes, "You two are best friends. Kiss and mother fucking make up or beat the hell out of each other."

&^&

Gemma smiled, "Why can't it be?"

"Fucking hit me if it'll make you feel better." Jax growled, "I couldn't give a shit."

*&*

"I want my son to be safe." Delilah said.

Gemma smiled slightly, "You know Jax would do anything to keep you both safe."

She shook her head, "I don't want my son in this life."

Opie stared at Jax, "What the fuck is wrong with you man? You just aren't...welll, you."

*&*

Gemma's face hardened, "Well, too late for that."

"I'm a fucking mess right now alright." Jax put his head in his hands, "Up until 24 hours ago I didn't even know I had a fucking kid."

(*(

"I know." Delilah said, "I didn't exactly plan on Jax literally dragging us back here."

Gemma nodded, "My son has very little tact. That I'll admit."

Opie looked at Jax with sympathy, "Let's go talk." He muttered.

*&*

Delilah smiled slightly, "I've missed you."

Jackson nodded and the two men staggered off. They each light up a cigarette and sat on on one of the picnic tables.

"I don't know what to do man..." Jax mumbled.

(*(

Gemma put an arm around her, "I missed you too sweetie. You've done a good job."

Opie looked at him, "Well, you could start with acting a little less crazy."

Jax couldn't help but laugh, "It's just not fair man. You've known the whole time you were a dad. I've known for a day...she hid it from me."

*&*

Natalie burst through the front door, Sadie in tow, "Del, I am so freaking sorry! I couldn't text you because Jax told Dad that Opie was over-" Natalie was rambling her apology when Del stopped her.

"Don't get mad." Opie said softly, "I'm not taking her side. But just think for one second..do we really want our kids to grow up like us?"

Jax shook his head, "No you're right. But I want things to change, Op."

*&*

"It's okay." Delilah said, "It's not your fault. Now Juice on the other hand...he's dead next time I see him." She laughed.

"What you mean?" Opie asked even though he knew perfectly well.

*&*

Natalie smiled, "Let me see my nephew!!"

"Only if you let me see my niece." Delilah laughed.

"Okay. I have dibbs on them both. They are my grandchildren!" Gemma exclaimed.

"More like what my dad wanted..." Jax whispered, "Cleaned up. In power without all this violence. Things used to be simpler."

*&*

The girls laughed and Gemma handed each the other's child.

"I'm so happy you and Jax are back together." Gemma said.

"Oh!" Delilah laughed, "Gem..I'm here but we're NOT back together."

Opie nodded, "So let's make it happen."

&*&

Gemma's face fell.

"Clay doesn't have a lot of time left running this club." Jax said, "We can do this while still being loyal to him."

*&*

"My son loves you." Gemma said.

"I know."
