Realistic or Modern Second Chances

[Forever6A7X]

Alex came outside late that morning sighing heavily "I want you to come to the club with me today. I gotta pick up my take from the month." He said softly to her.

Max frowned deeply as she listened to him "Thats awful, why would you guys let him get away with this for so long?" She asked glancing up at him "Shit how did he even become President? Last I remember he was below you in the ranks."

 

[decadent-rider]

Jon rolled his eyes. “Ah yes, I wanted this to happen.” He muttered. “Look there was a lot of shit happening after you left that was outside of our control. The head charter was a nightmare. Now it’s been sorted. And now we can sort ourselves out.” He explained, sitting and chilling with her all night long until they went to bed, Jon enjoying holding her all night long for the first time in years and waking up refreshed for once.

Carmen frowned some and just nodded, going to get dressed in sweats and a clean shirt at least, not wanting to interact with anyone at all but there were times she knew not to argue with Alex. Plus Tyler would be there. And she could make another purchase.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max gave a small nod as she listened to him. As the night progressed she became more relaxed and by the next morning she woke up in a better mood. She rolled over to look at Jon smiling softly at him "Good morning." She said softly

Alex gave a heavy sigh as he got ready as well. He kissed her cheek gently before they set off over to the club.

 

[decadent-rider]

She was quiet the whole way over and just gripped his hand a little tighter while they were walking in. “I don’t want people swarming us.” She mumbled

Jon yawned big and pulled her in close. “You coming to the club?” He asked her. “I’m taking Ana in. It’s just a chill day.” He assured her

 

[Forever6A7X]

Alex shook his head softly "They won't, I'll make sure of it." He murmured kissing her hand softly before getting out with her making his way inside.

Max smiled softly at him and gave a small nod "I'd like that." She said softly before pecking his lips. She giggled as he started to lead kisses down her neck right as they heard crying echo through the baby monitor on his night stand

 

[decadent-rider]

He groaned a little and smiled, pecking maxs lips. “Soon.” He promised and went to sort out his little girl.

Carmen just nodded and made a beeline for the back rooms once they were insides, managing to dodge everybody

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max laughed lightly and got up slipping her tights on before rummaging around and finding an old shirt of his. She walked out smiling as she saw him come out with Anna "Oh good morning sweet baby."

Alex smiled some when he saw Jackson and hugged him "Hey brotha." He murmured before running a hand over his face

 

[decadent-rider]

Tyler came walking out of the back rooms shortly after and just clapped Alex on the shoulder. “Table in five minutes. We’re doing pay packets.” He told him

Jon yawned a little and passed her over while he got himself ready and finally got her bag sorted. “You ready to get going? They’ll have breakfast going there already.”

 

[Forever6A7X]

Alex nodded some and gave a heavy sigh. He grabbed himself a water before putting phone in the box and headex into Church.

Max smiled softly and nodded taking Ana out to the car "She is such a cutie,looks just like you." She murmured before kissing him gently

 

[decadent-rider]

Carmen came out a little while later, getting curled up on one of the couches to wait for Alex to come out, wanting to get home already not wanting to be around people at all.

He smiled, getting her in the car and held max close for a minute. “Mmm… Ibe missed you so much.” He murmured and kissed her nose. “Come on, let’s get going. I’m hungry and I want my pay check.” He told her, getting in the car.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max smiled happily and held him some "I've missed you too." She said softly before buckling up. She walked in with Ana smiling some when she saw Carmen sat on the couch.

Alex glanced over at Jon as he came into the chapel nodding some at him "Hey man, how you doin?"

 

[decadent-rider]

Jon just nodded and nudged his arm, motioning for him to stand near him so he could explain about Ana so that they were both aware there was now a baby hanging around the club but he heard the yelling happening out in the bar room before he had a chance.

Carmen frowned seeing max walk in and just stared at the baby in her arms. “Who the fuck is that?” She muttered, hearing that it was Jon’s kid and she just lost it. “So you two junkie pieces of shit get to play happy family but mine was taken from me?!” She screamed at her.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max held Ana close placing the diaper bag on a chair before trying to find her a bottle. She frowned when she heard Carmen "She is Jon's daughter." She said softly before frowning more as she got a good look at her "Carmen....Carmen you need to calm down." She said calmly taking a deep breath.

Alex frowned when they heard yelling but tried to brush it off. That is until he recognised Carmen's voice "Shit.." he muttered before getting up and going out to see what the problem was.

 

[decadent-rider]

Jon grabbed his packet off the table for him, following him out to the front to see the chaos erupting “here. Take her home.” He suggested quietly, handing Alex his envelope and slipping an arm around max, moving her back and away from carmen. “I didn’t think they’d be here.” He sighed some.

Carmen just kept going off until she felt Alex grabbing at her and dragging her out of there to the car, breaking down once he put her down and she sat on the bonnet of the car.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max frowned as she continued to listen to Carmen go off on her. She didn't say a word until Jon came over shaking her head some "Something is not right Jon...I know grief and loss can change you but, something was off." She said softly while she tried to calm Ana down as she cried from the loud screaming.

Alex frowned as he went out and quickly grabbed Carmen from behind when he noticed her about to lash "Nope, we gotta go." He murmured before taking her to the car. He sighed heavily and held her close as she broke down not knowing what to say in that moment.

 

[decadent-rider]

Jon frowned and sighed a little "Best leave them to handle it themselves." He muttered, taking Ana himself and rocking her gently, "MY sister is gonna start having her during the day now it's summer vacation with her kids, so I can get on and do my job without worrying." He told her quietly, "From next week." He smiled, thinking now he was fine with it but knowing by the time they got to that point he'd be upset about handing her over for so long during the day

Carmen just held onto him tightly, burying her face against his chest "I can't do this." She sobbed into his kutte, "This isn't... I can't do it." She whimpered, "Why'd I let you bring me here today? I don't wanna see people." She cried more, shaking like mad, still refusing to eat anything

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max nodded as she handed Ana over "Oh yeah? Well I'm sure that will be okay. If she needs someone else I can help too." She said softly before pecking his cheek gently

Alex frowned more and sighed heavily "Because I don't trust leaving you alone right now." He mumbled kissing her cheek "Babe you have to eat something. Please don't make me take you to the hospital."

 

[decadent-rider]

She shook her head. “How can I think about eating? Why does it even fucking matter now?!” She spat, burying her face into her hands

He shook his head. “She’s good. Plus you got your job. And if you’re not working… you could always come down here.” He smiled at her.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Alex took a deep breath before letting some tears fall "Because your health is my top priority right now. You are what is helping me through this and I...I can't loose you too Carmen." He admitted before he started to break down a bit as well for the first time.

Max smiled a bit and nodded some "I know that, but I like spending time with her too." She said before laughing lightly. She wasn't meaning to insert herself into Ana's life, but it felt natural to her.

 

[decadent-rider]

She frowned and just held onto him tighter. “Can we just go home?” She asked him quietly, not making any further comment about food, not wanting to eat at all though.

He frowned a little. “I uh… yeah… “ he mumbled, stopping himself before he said something that would just cause an argument

 

[Forever6A7X]

Alex gave a heavy sigh nodding some "Yeah...get in the car." He muttered before going to get into the driver's side. He drove them home and sighed more seeing her leave to go upstairs.

Max watched him a bit before she looked over at the prospects frowning when she remembered them from yesterday 'Jon! Hey we got that situation cleaned up.' She heard one of them mutter to Jon quietly

 

[decadent-rider]

Jon just stared at them like the idiots they were and shook his head. “Jesus you all get dumber every damn day I swear.” He muttered, walking outside with max to sit down, tensing a little swing the three bikes pull up. “Head charter. Alex’s dad.” He told max, passing Ana over to her. They were there to help sort out Tyler but he wasn’t sure if Jack even knew about Leo

Carmen trudged upstairs and into Leo’s room, laying on the floor where she would often sleep just to help him get settled after a nightmare, staring at his bed and his toys, eventually unable to hold it in and she legged it to the bathroom to be sick.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Max frowned shaking her head a bit "I...I don't want to go back there Jon.." she admitted before following him out. She frowned as she saw the three bikes pull up taking Ana as ge passed her over. She gave a heavy sigh nodding a bit "I'll stear clear."

Alex frowned as he went to sit down crying quietly as he took everything in. He would never show this to anyone, he was a closed off man for sure but it was starting to become difficult.

 

[decadent-rider]

Jon just nodded. “We’ll talk about the house in a bit. But I don’t want you worrying about it alright?” He promised, kissing both their heads before going to greet Jack. “Ludwig… you here for the club or your son?” He asked him frowning

Carmen had started to feel worse after being sick, coming down off of the high and not eating, wasn’t mixing very well at all. She just about managed to stand up after flushing it away when her vision started going dark and she passed out on the bathroom floor.

 

[Forever6A7X]

Ron looked over at Jon raising an eyebrow at him "What do you mean Bernthal? Haven't heard from Alex since he got out." He muttered starting to get confused. Alex hadn't said anything to him because he had honestly forgotten. Their relationship had never been very solid so it was nothing new that Alex wasn't talking to him frequently.

Alex just sat there until he heard a loud thud. He frowned and finally got up to go check on Carmen about 5 minutes later. He went wide eyed when he saw her in the hallway quickly checking her over before calling 911.
