aven had to laugh hearing them. “You two are afraid of Mabel.” She smirked at them taking another bite of a Funyun. Her mouth watered a little thinking of what her mother would make. It had been since Christmas and she’d last been in Watonga that she’d had a good home cooked meal. She lived on frozen food and eating out. She laughed more hearing Jethro, and just shook her head at him. It felt good to laugh as she couldn’t remember the last time she had. A yawn escaped her and she sighed not wanting to go to sleep yet. Not when she had just found her twin and Jethro.
Millie nodded. “I believe both Willie and I told the boys when we talked to them at one time or another. Haven knows too. That was the last time I was able to talk to her.” She frowned slightly at that though. Haven always answered when she called no matter what she was doing. Something had to have happened to her to keep her from answering or calling back when she was able to.

ethro mocked a gasp. “We aren’t afraid of Mabel. She’s an angel!” He was trying not to smirk as he was giving Haven a look. He was enjoying hearing Haven laugh as it had been awhile since it had joined in with their own laughter. He finished up his food that he had. “I’m going to go find a beer. You want one Drix? Haven?” He asked and Haven shook her head no. “Going to smoke as well.” He said not wanting to smoke in the room with Haven in there. If it were just him and Drix he’d light one up.
Mabel looked over at Crocker hearing him. “We should find a bigger place. The girls are having to double up on rooms. Three of them in one room.” She walked out and sat down on his lap, and leaned in whispering in his ear. “You're going to be a daddy again, and we are going to need more room.” She had only just found out for sure today that she was expecting.
The only thing I do know for sure is that if we both want to, we'll find a way to make it work.

Hendrix held back a snort but couldn't help but smirk at Jethro. He loved his sister-in-law but she definitely could get scary, especially when it came to her kids' protection and safety. He shook his head and said, "Nah, thanks. I'm pretty beat so I'll probably end up wasting it." He hated wasting beer. He made himself comfortable, sitting up in the bed after finishing his hot dog. He cracked open his bottle of water and drank about half of it in one go, becoming thirsty and wanting to wash down the food.
Willie nodded and said, "Yes we did, dear. They at least know the gist of it." He looked over at Crocker when he let out a whoop and raised an eyebrow wondering what it was about.
Crocker shrugged and said, "They don't seem to mind sharing though." He really liked their home. He wrapped his arms around his wife when she came and sat in his lap. "Yeehaw!!!!!" He yelled out before kissing her with a big grin on his face. When he pulled away he looked over and said, "Looks like we'll be asking the Astors if they happen to have a larger place."

aven watched him go as she finished off her slim jim. “Is he really doing alright?” She asked her twin after the door was shut and he was gone. She worried about him over the years. Not that she didn’t worry about her twin too, but Jethro had gone through so much heartache. She’d hated that when leaving them behind to go to college, but knew her parents were there too for Jethro, not to mention Hendrix, and Crocker had been around too.
Millie looked over at her son, raising an eyebrow. “Now what did Mabel just tell you to get you to change your mind that fast?” She grinned at them waking over and sat down on an easy chair on the porch curious.

ethro nodded at him. “There’s more snacks in the bag, help yourself.” He said as he got up. “I’ll be back.” He said and headed out of the room heading down to where he’d seen the bar area when they had gotten there. Once he got there he lit up a cigarette, and took the beer that a prospect handed him. “Thanks.” He said and he sat down at a table by himself. As he sat there he noticed a couple of sons walking in that had California Rockers, but they had the Samcro one too. Two prospects with them and a really hot girl. They were all given beers except for the two prospects who he figured were underage.
Mabel grinned and kissed him back after his yeehaw. She smiled looking over at Millie and Willie. She’d let him tell his parents though. She definitely loved how that had lit her husband up. She wasn't sure how their sons would take it though or the girls.
The only thing I do know for sure is that if we both want to, we'll find a way to make it work.

Hendrix thought for a minute. "He seems to be sleeping better being out on the road, so I would think he's doing pretty good right now. I want him to be happy too, so if he's thinking about transferring out here, then I'll do it with him because I'm not going to let him do anything like that by himself and if it seems like he'd be happier with it, I want him to be happy. Plus, what do I have to go back to in Watonga when everyone else is here?" He really always wanted the best for Jethro. That was probably why he was happy to just hang around and not really try to do anything else. He was happiest with his best friend. Well, he was even happier when his twin was around too, but that was a given. In his perfect world, they'd always be together.
Willie was also intrigued to why Crocker was so quick to change his mind. Their piece of property was beautiful and their home was also beautiful, but there wasn't anything wrong with getting a bigger place too. "Congratulations you two!" He exclaimed hearing Crocker.
Crocker grinned and said, "Well, Mabel has a bun cooking! Baby Sheetz #3 on the way!" He was ecstatic. He's always thought of a large family, but was happy with how many babies the good Lord would bless him and Mabel with at the same time.

aven nodded hearing him. “We all need this change. I want a life, and I wasn’t really living one there. The only thing I’m really going to miss is the kids that I taught, as well as gave surf lessons too. I loved that cottage, but not since Tank was in the picture.” She sighed while eating another Funyun. “What about you? Still haven’t found a nice girl to settle down with? Or are you going to continue your bromance with Jethro?” She raised an eyebrow at her twin grinning slightly.
Millie smiled. “Congratulations! That’s just great!” She was more than happy hearing she was going to be a grandmother again. “I can’t wait! How far along are you?” She asked her daughter in law.

ethro noticed when the girl turned around it had the Sons of anarchy Jr club on her kutte that she was wearing. Washington was on it as well. He furrowed his brows as it was all kids he had heard back in Watonga. She sure didn’t look like a kid. Sacramento guys were welcoming them and the girl like they had known them forever. He heard Washington mentioned and he kept listening, hearing them ask how the Morrow kids were doing. Everyone knew who the Morrow kids were, but he hadn’t heard about anything happening to them. He was smoking his cigarette as he sat there and taking a sip of his beer now and then.
Mabel smiled at her in-laws. “About a month and a half. I didn’t start having morning sickness till this week. Otherwise I was ignoring the symptoms, not thinking anything of it.” She admitted more than happy to be pregnant again.
The only thing I do know for sure is that if we both want to, we'll find a way to make it work.

Hendrix frowned hearing her. "I'm sorry you'll have to miss anything. If I would've known sooner about Tank, I would've taken care of him a long time ago for you so you could enjoy all of that still," he told her, downing the rest of his water and then shooting the bottle like a basketball across the room, making it in the trash can over there. He yawned, but he wasn't going to fall asleep until he knew Haven was going to be alright and at least start sleeping. He wasn't really hungry anymore, but then the entire trip he didn't eat much when they did stop to get snacks. When they stopped to sit down and eat somewhere for a change, he'd eat a good meal though. He shrugged and said, “The ladies love our bromance,” and then laughed before adding, “No one caught my eye yet, but then I haven’t looked either.”
Willie let Millie ask all the questions as he listened to the information.
Crocker grinned even more and listened to his wife. He raised an eyebrow and said, "So that's why I didn't wake up next to you this morning because you were already in the bathroom." He had grown accustomed to waking up with his wife in his arms every morning since moving out to Washington and he wasn't wanting to change that. Back in Watonga, there were times he was on runs that he wasn't able to be home sometimes, but he always tried to make sure he was as much as he could be.

aven shook her head at her twin, and took a drink of her water. “That’s not it. I wasn’t really enjoying my life. There was something missing. My family. Which includes Jethro as well. I was only going through all the moments like it was a routine. I had no time for myself or anything for that matter. I was lucky to get off long enough to come home for Thanksgiving and Christmas.” she frowned as it was all running through her head now. She couldn’t stop her laugh, hearing her brother. “Well we did turn thirty on our last birthday. We're not getting any younger. Maybe the three of us will get lucky in Washington.” She smiled at Hendrix hoping that was true.
Millie had hated that part of being pregnant with Crocker. “Well shall we retire for the night Willie? Tomorrow will be a long day.” She asked him, feeling exhausted herself. They really hadn’t caught up on sleep from having all of the kids during Sturgis. Then they had watched all of the little ones during the party four days ago as well.

Mabel looked at Crocker, and nodded. “That would be why.” She sighed hoping it wasn’t that way every morning. She looked over at their boys fishing who probably hadn’t heard them about her going to have a baby. They were too engrossed in their fishing.
The only thing I do know for sure is that if we both want to, we'll find a way to make it work.

Hendrix nodded with a frown. He didn't like that she was being worked so hard, or at least that's why she was lucky to get off long enough to come home to visit. He had thought she liked it out in California, but he was blind in realizing that ended up not being the case. He enjoyed hearing her laugh when she did after he told her about being single. He smirked and said, "Maybe you and Jethro aren't getting any younger, but I'm still in my prime." He was teasing her and it felt good to be able to just talk with her again. He definitely missed that with his twin. Besides, whoever did catch his eye was going to have deal with spending time with Haven too. He wasn't going to let them lose contact suddenly again.
Willie looked over at Millie again and smiled at her. "Yeah, let's let thse two lovebirds celebrate and those young'uns finish fishing. Tomorrow will be here sooner than we think," he told her and stood up from where he had been sitting and took Millie's hand.
Crocker brought her in for a kiss, letting it linger for a moment. "Well, whatever you need, darlin', just let me know. I'll talk to the Astors tomorrow about another house, or even if building on here would be smart," he told her.

aven grinned at her twin. “Believe what you want to believe.” She smirked, shooting right back at him. “If that’s what helps you sleep at night go right ahead.” She laughed and shook her head at him. She was more than ready for this new chapter in her life, and if she really got the job her nephew Judge would be in junior high. She reached into her bag and pulled out her new burner phone she had gotten, and typed in a number sending a text to it. “This is Haven. Is that job still on the table for the new school?” She sent it to Satori. Even if it wasn’t she was going to stay where her family was. “I’m checking to make sure that job is still open for me.” She glanced at her twin laying the phone on the bed. She’d have to get a new phone too because a burner phone just wasn’t going to work.
Millie stood up and let her fingers entwine with Willie’s when he took her hand. “Let’s.” She smiled at him. “Goodnight.” She called over to their son and Mabel, before looking over at her grandsons. “Night boys.” She headed off with Willie then to get some sleep though as excited as she was for the next day she wasn't sure if she would get any sleep.

ethro finished his cigarette, and his beer. Getting up he headed to the bathroom, before heading back to the room. Walking in he grinned at Hendrix. “There’s a hot girl out there. Has to be close to our age, but she’s wearing a Washington Jr Club kutte. Though she’s with some Redwood Originals.” He got it all out in one breath practically. He heard Haven laugh hearing him. “What?” He asked her, confused which made her laugh even more. He plopped down on the bed looking at Hendrix. “Go smoke. I’ll keep Haven company.” He said as there was a knock on the door and an older lady came in with some extra bedding for them. “Thanks.” He said and she smiled, giving him a nod, before leaving again.

abel kissed him back and sighed when he broke it. “I’ll try to.” She tried to bite back a yawn, but wasn’t successful. “Goodnight.” She called out to her in-laws as they were starting back to the guest house. She snuggled into Crocker a bit more. “I love having your parents here baby. Your mom’s really helping out a lot with the cooking and the kids. With the twins and Jethro coming our families will be complete. That is if they stay here with us.” She was hoping that they would. She loved having her brother and sister just down the road. “Oh and by the way I talked to my mom today. They are at Lake Tahoe, and planning on being here this weekend.” She’d almost forgotten to tell him. She was so used to her parents being hippies and gypsies pretty much she never knew for sure where they would be next. She’d spent half her childhood at Crocker’s house anyhow with their parents leaving them with Millie and Willie.
