Date: May 10th, 2014
Time: Noon - TBD
Location: Cleirigh & Sons Auto Repairs
Characters: Galen Cleirigh, Quinn Cleirigh, Seamus Cleirigh, Raleigh Harper, Grace Rollins, Francesca Rollins, Parker Davies
Description: A pack and club get together. Food, drinks, smoking, talking and some club planning.
Status: Private, TBC
Rating: TBD

Galen had called the guys into the clubhouse for a short meeting. Their first package would be arriving in exactly a week and they needed to be prepared for the transport, first to the garage, the half way point, and then on to the small cabin that Quinn had found and purchased almost four months ago -- where the pieces of the weapons coming in would be assembled before delivery. There wasn't much to be discussed because they all knew their role in the movement of the guns but he didn't want anything to go wrong -- he wanted to make sure that their first drop off went off perfectly to set the standard. He knew that the could count on his brothers, and with Seamus back from Ireland (back from arranging this new drop off point) would make things run smoother -- he'd been worried that Seamus might not have been back in time since he had to stop in through Boston first, their father wanting to speak to him about what he'd seen and heard while on the other side of the Atlantic.

The gavel beat against the sounding block and the guys dispersed, Galen being the last to leave the room after sharing a word with Seamus about their contact on the ship coming in. It wasn't anything important, it was more character questions than anything else.

But, everyone went their separate ways in the clubhouse. Galen passed by Chessa, at the billiard table, and loosely wrapped an arm around her waste, "bring me a beer, sweetheart?" He asked with a charming smile on his lips before continuing over to the couch where Raleigh sat with Aiden. His shoulder fell against the support beam of the enclave where the couches were set up adjacent to the pool table. "Still haven't found a nanny you like yet? I thought you were seeing one today?"

It had been almost four months since Quinn had first come to Crescent Cove. Unlike most of the pack who had just got here recently, Quinn had been in Maine almost the whole time. He'd taken a few weekend trips back and forth between Boston and Crescent Cove, but mostly he'd stayed put. There was a lot that had to be done to prepare for the transition. Galen and Quinn had found the new garage, and Quinn was left to take care of the paperwork for business licenses and registration. He had to order in the new equipment to set up shop. He had to find and buy a Cabin in the woods for the side business. More paper work.

He was happy to do it though. Galen had to go back to Boston, and Seamus was in Ireland. Quinn's responsibility was the pack and the family business. He didn't have any outside ties, and there was too much that had to be done. That's why he even decided to take the apartment that went with the garage since he was practically living at work anyway.

During the meeting today, Quinn had been filling in everyone on the progress, and that finally everything was pretty much settled. Everything was signed for, and ready to go. They just needed the product and the clients. Seamus had taken care of the contacts from across the Atlantic, so that was half done. At the end of the meeting, Quinn left his brothers to discuss those details.

Quinn had left the others for the time being, going to his office to drop of his papers and notes from the meeting. As always during meetings, the shop was closed, but as it was a Saturday that wasn't something Quinn had to be concerned about. He headed out back, grabbing something a leftover sub from the fridge for lunch, before sitting on one of the couches. "I bet they didn't suit Raleigh's strict specifications," Quinn said with a smirk over hearing their discussion about their nephew.

Chessa, while she adored Aiden, let Raleigh stay with him while the club had their meeting. She was comfortable with kids, but not yet ready to take on that kind of responsibility. Instead, she was lazily shooting pool by herself until the boys came out. The last thing she wanted to do was go out of her way to interact with her sister. She still wasn't thrilled that their mother had sent her up here to keep an eye on her and make sure Chessa was making good decisions. While she'd been a crazy teenager and maybe a little party-happy college student, she'd always gotten good grades and worked hard. So she didn't appreciate her mother treating her like a child from over a thousand miles away.

When Galen finally came out and showed her his little bit of affection, she brightened up. She loved it when he showed her affection and attention. While she'd normally be a little more public about her own affection, Raleigh was here and she wouldn't be disrespectful to Galen's first mate and Alpha female. Smiling at her man, she nodded and put the stick down. As she moved closer to the bar, she gave her sister a bit of a glaring look and poured two beers. Without a word to her sister, she moved over to the couches and gave Galen his drink. Trailing her now free hand over his shoulders as she walked behind him, she settled into the couch next to Quinn.

"To be fair, you've got to have a set of brass balls to take on working for the Cleirigh's... If Aiden isn't well taken care of, you have a lot of people to stand up to." Smirking with a wink at the middle brother, she nudged his shoulder playfully to gain his full attention. Chessa took a sip of her own beer and tilted her head to look at him. "So tell me, Quinn... You've been up here the longest out of all of us. How is it that an attractive guy like yourself hasn't found someone steady to see?"

Quinn knew he could go for a beer right about now, but technically he was still working so it would have to wait till they closed the shop for the day. Still, he could eat. He was typically starving most of the time, and there had been a roost beef sandwich in the fridge waiting for him.

It was something Quinn had to get used to having so many people around him again. He'd been practically on his own for a couple of months up in the boonies. Not that he was lonely since he had been too busy to be lonely. Quinn was a strange contradiction. He was loyal and knew he could never leave his pack, but he was perfectly fine being on his own. The observation that Quinn was almost perpetually single was something that rarely went unnoticed.

He looked to Chessa as she sat down next to him. He grinned at her comment and fully agreed. "A good point to consider in the job description I think," he said teasing Raleigh mostly. It was important though whoever took care of their family. They may have been new up in Maine, but that didn't mean they couldn't get enemies. And the best way to get to them was through family.

Quinn looked over at the small blonde when he felt the nudge on his shoulder. "No need to flatter, Chessa," he told her shaking his head. "I've just been busy, that's the simple answer. No time to go out and meet the locals," Quinn shrugged. "Besides, you can't find anyone if you're not looking."

"You guys should just let my bitchster... I mean sister watch him full time. I mean, she was sent up here to be a babysitter anyway... may as well let her do what her job title says." Yea, it still peeved Chessa that her mother had the audacity to send Grace up here. She was an adult that could make her own decisions and mistakes as she pleased. The last thing she needed was her sister ratting her out to her mother about every little move she made.

Shaking the negative thoughts away, she kept her attention on Quinn. "I'm not trying to flatter. I'm just telling it like it is. All you Cleirigh boys are attractive. Hell, the whole damn pack is full of hotties. Anyway... I just don't believe it. I've never known a guy to be too busy to get himself laid."

Chessa smirked and raised her brow knowingly at Galen's brother. He was a guy. Guys had needs. "Well, then I guess the better question is.. Why aren't you looking? You're getting too old to stay single for much longer. People might start to talk," she said with a laugh and a smile to let him know she was jesting with him.

Quinn said nothing on Chessa's comment about Grace. He wasn't touching that issue at all. It was a completely different situation dealing with brothers. If they ever had a problem, they just fought it out till it was done. Girls just had to be so much more complicated in their personal crap.

He chuckled to himself and had to shake his head at the direction this discussion was going, with little ears not far off, but being around them Aiden had already heard worse. Quinn tried to distract himself from the conversation by eating some of his sandwich, but looked back at Chessa when she said he was getting old. "Maybe I'm getting too old to just go out and get laid," he said. It was hard for Quinn to really answer himself. It wasn't that he had no interest. It wasn't that he was incapable of going out to get a girl. It just... seemed like something that took a lot of work that he didn't have the time to put into it. They hadn't stayed in Boston. How long would they stay in Crescent Cove.

The relationship she had with her sister sucked. It was even more evident how much it sucked when she watched Galen and his brothers together. They gave each other shit, but they never held grudges for long. If she could, Chessa would move on, but it was hard. She watched her father get murdered and Grace hadn't even cared enough to come and see him buried. Family was supposed to stick together, but hers never had.

Sitting back waiting as Quinn worked on his sandwich, she looked over at Galen and winked at him. Chessa caught sight of Aiden and inwardly cringed. She really needed to work on watching what she said when he was within earshot. That was another reason she wasn't looking to have kids any time soon. If Galen wanted to have one with her in the near future, which she didn't think he did, she'd have to think long and hard about her answer. Shaking her head, she turned back in time to hear Quinn's reply.

"Touche. I'd say it must be lonely, but with a group like us around I don't think that could ever apply to anyone here. I could always set you up with one of my fellow nurses," she said with a wink and a laugh. Chessa didn't think he'd take her up on the offer, but she was serious. If he wanted, she'd hunt for him.

Galen had asked Raleigh about the nanny, in a serious tone, and it quickly spiraled into jokes and teasing and even some digs -- from Chessa at her sister. And, while his attention had mostly stayed on Raleigh for her answer, because he was concerned about them finding someone suitable that they could trust because he wanted to have her at the garage a bit more, he was still listening to what his brother and Chessa were talking about.

He had thanked Chessa for the beer when she brought it over, issuing a small smile and all before his blue eyes had flicked back over to Raleigh and Aiden. But, he glanced back over at Chessa when she took the obvious shot at her sister and his brows furrowed as if confused about what the hell was even going on. He wasn't going to get involved because he honestly didn't want to deal with that sort of drama, it wasn't his place and he just didn't want to have to mediate it, so he didn't comment on it but his expression, he was obviously put off by the possibility of drama.

Galen kept looking back to Raleigh and Aiden because that was the conversation that he was really trying to pay attention to but listening to Francesca and his brother in the background kept his eyes shifting between the two pairs. And, the obvious flirting from Chessa made his brows knit again, but so deeply that there were lines on his forehead. And, one of his hands, the one not holding the beer, was pulled from his pocket and held out as if to ask, "what the fuck is that?" Before shaking his head and turning his eyes back to Raleigh.

"Don't worry, I can't be lonely with all of you here to bother me now," Quinn said with a smirk to cover up he wasn't being completely truthful. Sometimes he thought about what it would be like if he had his own mate, his own kids, but it just wasn't that time yet. By saying he didn't have time was just another way to say he wasn't ready. He hadn't found the right. When Quinn made a choice, he wanted it to be the right one.

He was quietly trying to keep from laughing though when he saw the expression on his brother's face. Yes this was not a conversation he wanted to have with his brother's mate (at least not Chessa) and not in front of Galen, but Quinn was polite about it at least. "You can try if you want," Quinn said to appease her when she mentioned trying to set her up. "Raleigh's tried enough times," he said nodding to the Alpha female.

Raleigh sat on the couch with a big book in her lap, Aiden squashed up against her side as he read the book to her, sounding out the words. She looked up when Galen came close, unable to stop the smile that spread on her lips. "She called, said that her car needed an oil change before she could get here - I said we did that, and she just bailed." She made a disapproving tsch sound with her teeth.

"We've at least got to get somebody reliable enough that they show up, right?" She waited until Aiden had finished the page - thankfully, he was absorbed enough in the book that he didn't listen to Chessa, sounding out the words when he'd moved on to a new section. She bent her head as Chessa continued, speaking lowly to him as he tried to sound out new words, and Raleigh helped him until they finished the book, then she leaned over to him before she spoke lowly in his ear. "Go on baby, wash up before we...." She was going to say go find your dad, just as her eyes flicked to Seamus and Grace slipping out the back, and she frowned. "Get you a snack, okay?"

She watched him as he moved to go wash his hands, before she tipped her head back to look up at Galen, and she sighed. "Seriously, we've got to find somebody." She shook her head, and then she looked over at Quinn and Chessa, and she shook her head. "When it happens, it'll just happen. You can't force this kind of thing." Not when you were looking for something more than a cheap screw behind a garage.

"I met Galen through a freak set of circumstances. It's not like I was out trolling for guys. You know?" She crossed her legs, and sighed as she stuffed the book into the canvas bag filled with things suited for a five year old. "Is it bad that part of the reason I want a nanny is because I seriously miss just having a drink and a smoke?" She said it with a low laugh, and then she could hear Aiden running back, the gait of his feet on the pavement and the squeak of his shoes unique to the little boy.

"Hey, bud. Do you know what you want for a snack?" She grabbed him, and hauled him into her lap, pressing a kiss to his cheek, her brows rising at the reply. ".... No, try again, steak is not a snack." He thought for a moment before requesting peanut butter crackers - and Raleigh lifted her chin to nod to the table, even as Aiden got comfortable. "Can you grab a pack of crackers from the blue box under the table?" The request was mostly directed at Chessa, but honestly it could have been for any of them.

As far as Chessa was concerned, there would be no drama. If there was, it had nothing to do with the pack or the club. It was between her and Grace. Yes, she shouldn't have given into such a cheap shot, but she couldn't stand how hypocritcal her sister was being. She condemned her father for the life he lead and yet she had now engrossed herself in the same life as an adult. Grace might not be involved in the illegas side of things, but she was here and could get herself caught in the crosshairs.

Chessa caught Galen's look and didn't know what to say to it. In her mind, she wasn't doing anything wrong. She'd initially flirted her greeting, but from there she had been talkin to Quinn like one of the guys. Growing up, she'd always been closer with guys than girls and thus didn't feel like any subject was out of bounds. Giving Galen a genuinely innocent look of confusion, she eventually turned back to his brother. "I'm not gonna force it. If you want my help, you know how to find me."

At Raleigh's comment about relationships just happening when they were meant to happen, Chessa smiled. It reallly was true. She hadn't been looking for anything, not really, when she and Galen hooked up. "You're right, Raleigh... I met Galen much the same way..." Looking away, she hated bringing her relationship, whatever it was, with Galen up in front of the Alpha female. It was out of respect for the three of them that she didn't speak openly about it.

A small laugh filtered from her throat at Raleigh's confession. "You know, I'm happy to watch over him if you and Galen ever want to go out or you just want to relax and have girly alone time. As long as I'm not on at the hospital that is..." Hopping up at the request, Chessa grabbed the crackers out of the box off the table and brought them back to Aiden. Tousling his hair, she handed them to him and plopped back down into her spot on the couch.

Quinn was satisfied that the talk about his love life was over. He nodded to Chessa she said that he could come find her to ask if he wanted. It would come up again he was sure, but for the moment he was more than content to eat his lunch before going back to work. He was looking forward to tonight, when the shop could be closed, and Quinn could get a beer out of the fridge and actually relax for a few hours. It had been a long few months, and it was going to get even busier soon enough. It was hard to even think of anything but the family business right now.

During the conversation he had noticed the Shay and Grace had slipped out the back, which mostly drew the reaction of an arched eyebrow from Quinn. He said nothing about it though, but saw that Raleigh noticed too. "You'll find someone, Raleigh," he said about the nanny. "We're just new around here. It might take a bit, but if we make some contacts around here, then they can suggest someone to hire," Quinn suggested his idea to her. "In the meantime, we could switch up the baby sitting between us. I'm sure you'll have enough offers," he said. Not to mention the fact Shay was back now, and probably wanted to spend more time with Aiden anyway.

"Cause that doesn't seem shifty as fuck," he shook his head because it was bullshit that they couldn't get a decent nanny after so many weeks of searching for one. His beer tapped anxiously at his side after he'd taken a long pull from it. "I think we need someone more than just reliable but ... at this point, as long as we knew they won't hurt the kid," but, Galen seriously did want more than just that. And, while Aiden was a good kid and everyone loved him, he didn't need to be in a garage all day, he needed to start doing things that would get him ready for school next year.

He was kinda peeved about everyone jumping on Quinn about getting a girlfriend or a mate or something of the sort. Quinn was just fine as he was Galen thought. But, that was because Galen relied so much on his brother and he knew that if there was a serious girl involved things would change and he'd have to lean a little less on his brother. But, all of that was less concerning then Francesca and Raleigh talking about how they had each met him. Things were still new and he wasn't sure how things would sit with Raleigh to be talking about it in public like they were.

Galen was pulled away from the interaction between the girls because of Quinn's arched brow and he looked over his shoulder but was too late to see Seamus and Grace slipping out the back door. So, when he looked back at his brother the arm holding the beer lifted slightly as if to ask what? His eyes flicked back to Raleigh and he nodded, even smiled. "She's bitching about the nanny business but I think she's secretly happy about it because that means she gets to keep him to herself for hours."

Whenever everyone was together Grace liked to keep her distance. She had been accepted my most of the members but she could still feel a little bit of a chill where some were concerned. She was the outsider. She wasn't pack and she could understand why some didn't welcome her for that reason. In fact, she really didn't even know why she was there. Possibly it was because wolves were social creatures and Grace couldn't pass up an opportunity to just be with her own.

She recalled gatherings like this when she was a kid. The rush of nostalgia only made worse by the barrage of familiar scents that flooded her nose wherever she took a breath. It came with an odd desire to belong but at the same time she reminded herself that this was only temporary. Only a promise to her mom. But it felt like home, this place felt a little like family.

From her seat by the bar she took in room, idly eavesdropping from conversation to conversation as she sipped on her beer. It was her forth, but it was the weekend. Grace was allowed her small vices after all. Chess was off by the pool table blending in seamlessly to this life. That made sense, she was her father's daughter. Momentarily Grace cut her eyes at her sister's back but pushed away the thought of just how much like Frank she was. From over her sister's shoulder she saw Raleigh and Aiden and schooled her features with a warm smile sent in their direction. With a brief wave to the little boy, Grace decided better to just stay in her seat now that the club pouring out if their meeting. With a content sigh she chugged the rest of her beer knowing that there wasn't an explicit attention on her she didn't even bother trying to be delicate about it.

The bulk of Seamus' work was done. He'd been gone long enough and stressed hard enough over the past few months to get them to where they were. For the most part he was in the clear. All he had to do was help them execute their plans but with his brothers at his side Seamus was felt reassured that their deal would turn out well. He worried that he had fucked something up or that misstep would some how be his fault. He was worried that he might let them down at any moment. In their line of work one had to be careful every single damn day on the job. A minor mistake could land every single one of his family members in jail.

He didn't know how his brothers were so calm and cool about it. Of course it was just another job but it was always such a high risk. Maybe it was because they were older, or because they just didn't show it the same way he did. The meeting was short compared to most and for that Seamus was very appreciative. He was a bit tired, with having just gotten back, settling into a new apartment and going back to being a full time poppa Seamus was wearing a little thin.

Seamus watched as Aiden sat with his favorite auntie. His son seemed to be somewhat of a community baby. Everybody loved on him and gave him attention, which Seamus prayed would make up, in part, for lacking a mother. He scoffed at the idea of Raleigh finding anyone good enough to take care of Aiden. She was mother superior in their own fucked up religion. If only Seamus could find himself a women like that, an illegal arms dealer could be happy.

Instead of sending off one of the girls to get him a drink Seamus got himself something to wash down the days work and worries. Walking over to their makeshift bar he made himself useful and tapped a keg to pour himself a cup of beer. Instead of finding somewhere to settle among the rest of the members and women Seamus baby sat the keg and watched everyone for afar.

Grace needed a refill if she was going to refrain from stomping a mud hole in her sisters ass. The perks of heightened senses meant that she could hear every little bitchy thing Chess was saying about her. The term "bitchster" had become Chessa's favorite term of endearment resentment for Grace and the word was easily picked out over the thrum of conversation.

Holding her cup tighter in her hand she sought out the keg just to give herself something to do. "Hey there." she greeted Shay seeing him for the first time that evening. She had been too busy concentrating on not getting angry to really notice anything other than something that would throw gasoline onto her fire (aka her sister). "You need to see I.D?" She laughed taking the tap out his hand to fill up her cup on an angle which only getting more beer on her hand than she did in the cup.

It was the first time she had seen him since he had dropped her off at the garage after their lunch. There was an easy smile on her face because of it. Maybe that meant something, maybe it didn't. Later there would be time to over analyze, but at that moment all she wanted to was drink.

Everyone could hear Chessa. It wasn't like she was trying to discrete talking shit about her sister while she was still in the room and it was starting to rub Seamus the wrong way. Although he had spent his early childhood with the girls he could hardly remember anything about Chessa other than the fact that she seemed to cry a lot. It seemed as though she hadn't grown out of it. Just like his brothers, Seamus didn't think that it was his place to say anything to her. They both seemed really bitter about having to be around each other and he didn't really get it, but he honestly didn't care enough to find out why. The shit talking was distasteful though, and Seamus made a clear look of annoyance and rolled his eyes before drowning himself in his beer.

He didn't know if it was because he was tired, or stressed out, or because he was sweet on Grace but he felt highly irritated by the conversation going on, on the other side of the room. He had zero intention on joining in on it.

"Na," he said while smiling at Grace. "You're good," he gestured to the keg, "It's all yours." He chuckled a little while she spilled the beer but didn't mean to embarrass her so he changed the object of his attention. Stealing a few glances at her Seamus tried his hardest not to be very obvious about the fact that he was checking her out. "So, everybody is worried about this kid and a new nanny... Im pretty sure they like him more than me."

She wasn't going to let her sister's shit talking bother her none. Francesca had been like that since she was a child, always passing any blame she could on Grace and then speaking negatively of her when it suited the situation. So far Grace had not interfered with Chess' life. It was just a left over hatred that the younger girl carried heavy in her heart that caused her to lash out. Honestly, Grace had hardly even seen her sister around since she arrived. They avoided each other because that was in everyone's best interest.

It wasn't that she was drunk, per sea, it was just that maybe Grace was feeling that last beer a more than she thought. It was for this reason that she rested her head on Seamus's shoulder and followed his line of vision while she licked the beer off her fingertips. "People are contractually obligated to find kids more likable than their parents only because they can still be molded exactly how you want 'em." She laughed and shook her head, "Everyone likes you just fine, Shay. You want them to find you a nanny too so you feel included?"

Despite what Grace might want to blame she was at fault for being bitter as well. Perhaps it was because she still resented her father and viewed her little sister as an extension of him, or maybe it was something else entirely. No matter the reason, neither of them would be good company if all they did was speak nonsense, and glare at each other. Seamus didn't like it. He and his brothers had always been such simple creatures. Got a problem? Fight it out, get the fuck over it and have a cold beer. Maybe that just wasn't a language women couldn't understand.

The head on his shoulder was welcomed. With his free hand Seamus wrapped his arm around her waste and held her to him. He leaned a little into her as she leaned on him. What came out of her mouth was unexpected, a little deeper than what most would say in such a situation. "I thought it was cause they were cuter. They're like little drunk people, only no one gets mad when they piss on your cat." Looking down at Grace he took another sip from his beer and then smiled at her while shaking his head. "I don't know about a nanny, but I'd definitely appreciate a little company. These motherfuckers," he motioned at his brothers with his beer, "get boring quick as fuck."

Oh she was to blame. Leaving her sister to only their mother's care during their father's funeral had been heartless of her. It wasn't fair of her to put her own needs in front of her sister's traumatic experience. But she had. And she felt terrible about it, but she couldn't go back and change it.

"Cuteness ain't got nothing to do with it. You're cute and yet you're over here with the beer and Aiden is over there being fawned over." She still wasn't looking away from the group. They flowed so easily together with a level of comfort that could only come from family. It made her jealous, just around the edges. But she had Shay plastered against her side and a cold beer in her hand. She wasn't going to complain.

"I don't know too much about boring, but I'll keep you company if you want. I'm not too much in demand these days." The arm that circled around his waist kept him close, her hand gripped lightly at the leather cut he wore over his shirt.

Even though Seamus loved his brothers and the bond he had with the guys in the MC he had always had a huge love for female company. He would probably attribute it to his close relationship with his mother but no matter the reason Seamus had always been very involved with the opposite sex. For however much Quinn didn't care for company Seamus craved it. He desired a constant stimulus, one which he had not be receiving lately. It's not like he hadn't gotten busy on his business trip to Ireland but that wasn't the same. He took the compliment and thoroughly enjoyed it. He let her finish speaking before he said anything. Looking down at her he raised his brows and gave a moments pause. "So you think I'm cute." Although the two them had been dropping hints left and right very little had been said out right.

It made him a little nervous knowing that she found him attractive, at least attractive enough to joke about it. "It's alright," he shrugged his shoulders, "You're kind of cute yourself." He could have smacked himself over the head if he'd had the chance. That was so smooth he was afraid he'd slip and fall into a puddle of "Captain Obvious" and "I've got no game".

Finishing off his cup Seamus detached himself from Grace for a moment. He needed a second to think about what he had done. Pouring himself another beer he thought to himself, I should put my stupid ass in time out for that shit. Shaking his head he forgot that he'd been pouring beer and the white foam spilled over the brim of his cup and dripped down the side and eventually landed on the floor. "Shit," he said in realization, taking his finger he cleaned off the side of the cup.

"Well yeah?" She grinned honestly up at him, "I thought that was kind of obvious." Now, while Grace fought against the kinda sorta feelings that she had for Seamus, she hadn't thought she was making that much of a secret out of it. It was true that every bit of her conscious brain told her not to get attached to this place, yet she couldn't help the way that she gravitated towards Shay. It was kind of scary. Despite all the factors that told her this was a bad idea, Grace couldn't help the way she looked up from under her lashes when he payed her the compliment and this time she did pinch his cheek.

The alcohol was making her loose lipped and a little slap-happy, but that was okay. She had Shay to lean on...but, but, but nope! He'd moved so fast Grace had to take a stutter step to make her legs accept the weight she been leaning on him. No! Come back! she wanted to whine, but thankfully did not. Maybe it was too much to say she thought he was attractive? He thought she was cute, but babies were cute, puppies were cute. Not women you wanted to be with. They were not cute, they were hot.

"No use crying over spilled beer." She said with a frown, looking mournfully back over to the group to hide the guilty expression on her face. But wait, she could fix this. Taking his hand she wiped his wet fingers off on to her shirt, which was still damp over her stomach from her own spilled beer. "No muss, no fuss." Grace knew this could only serve to make things worse if he still say her as a kid sister type, but her argument was that she was just trying to be helpful.

For the split second that he had to think a million things rushed through his mind. He definitely liked her, but he wasn't sure how much or in what kind of way. Maybe he should pay attention to the other conversation? That was safe. Nope. Her eyes they were so entrancing, the lashes that surrounded them were so full. And her smile was to die for. No. No. Aiden. Her waist to butt ration. The way she felt on his bike. Raleigh and Galen. Galen would be upset. They'd have it out if Seamus tried anything.

When Grace took his hand in hers all Seamus could do was watch. He was unbelievably distracted by her. It was as if he couldn't get away from her. Her energy was so strong. His lips remained slightly parted as she pressed his fingers against her stomach. He could feel the tight muscles beneath her shirt. Licking his lips Seamus blinked a few times and looked up at her before drying swallowing a fuck ton of air. "Right," was all he could muster. She was definitely nobodies kid sister anymore.

"Um," he furrowed his brows, staring at her. All of his cool went out the window. It was clear that she had a very intense affect on Seamus that made it difficult for him to think straight. "I think I'm gunna go outside for a smoke real quick." For a moment he debated whether or not he wanted her to join him and whether or not that would get them in trouble. "Wanna keep me company?"

Finally, finally! She could smell it on him; the attraction. It was sweet in the air and won out over the cigarette smoke and stale beer. This was good. This was not good. This was....? This was walking the tight rope between something that meant nothing now, but could mean everything later if Grace let it. Should she let it was the ultimate question. Should she risk becoming a cautionary tale, the kettle on the back of a Harley with her good friend the pot? Possibly.

It was a big risk for something that carried no guarantees nor held any promises. It was just bad timing. And timing was crucial.

"Sure." Grace nodded, figuring that some fresh air might do her some good. She sat her cup down on the table and exchanged it for a half empty bottle of Jack Daniels. "Out back?"

"Yeah," he said a little too eagerly. When she agree Seamus quickly looked past her at the group near the couch. They were busy chatting away about things that did not really concern him at the moment. He was in the clear. Shooting a quick head nod at which ever one of his brothers was looking he motioned over his shoulder that he'd be out back. Whether or not one of them saw him Seamus didn't really care. It's not like they would come looking for him.

Finishing the rest of his drink Seamus set his cup down and smirked at Grace. He couldn't help but enjoy the fact that she'd grabbed a bottle. This wasn't the Grace he remembered but this was definitely the Grace he wanted to get to know. Taking her by the hand Seamus was starting to forget anything about Galen. The alcohol had really put a damper on him remembering how much she had smelled like his brother the first day that he'd seen her. Taking her by the hand he led them out back.

Grace wordlessly followed swinging the bottle in the hand that wasn't tightly gripping Sesmus'. She didn't look back, didn't really have a need to. The air was surprising, it bit at the exposed skin of her legs and arms, but she didn’t mind too much. It felt good. The whiskey would warm her up anyway. Unscrewing the cap, Grace leaned against the wall of the building. Once the bottle was too her lips she took a long drink that burned all the way down to her toes. "Why Maine?" She asked after a moment, "Why leave Boston?"

It was a little out of left field, but Grace's train of thought was a little sporadic at the moment. It was something she didn't understand, couldn't wrap her mind around. Grace tilted her head back, leaning it against the wall as she took another gulp. "This place is the sticks compared to home-" Christ, she must be drunk. She never referred to Boston as home, mostly because it wasn't. "Here," she offered the bottle to Seamus, "Better take it before I start waxing poetic about Fenway. "

Wincing at the bright light as soon as it hit his eyes Seamus pulled out his sun glasses, which had been hanging by one leg from the collar of his shirt, and put them on. Luckily the sun was a good excuse to keep some of his face hidden. A little mysterious. His eyes were beginning to get glossy and he didn't exactly want her to be able to read him so easily.

The question was a little surprising. Seamus didn't have an answer ready for her and in the state he was in, it was going to take him a moment to get one out of him. Pulling out his carton of cigarettes from the front pocket of his shirt he quickly found something to keep his mouth busy. Taking a moment to think Seamus lit the end of his cigarette and took a long hard pull, filling his lungs with smoke to the brim. Seamus often liked to chain smoke when he drank, that was part of the reason why he couldn't sing much anymore. Letting out a thick cloud of smoke, which lingered in front of his face for a long moment, he waited to give her a straight answer.

"Boss man's orders." Galen really wasn't what Seamus wanted to be talking about at the moment, it was a bit of a downer to think about him. Biting his bottom lip Seamus just shook his head at what she had to say. He'd lived in a few different places already and he didn't find any of them particularly interesting. Shrugging his shoulders heavily Seamus dragged the thumb of the hand that held his cigarette across his lip and took a deep breath.

Grabbing the bottle when she offered it Seamus placed his cigarette between his lips and held out the carton to her. He didn't know if she smoked but if she did he would share. Removing the cancer stick from between his lips after a quick puff he held it between the fingers which gripped the neck of the bottle. Taking a swig of the Jack he walked over to a small bench that sat pressed up against the wall and plopped himself down on it.

Grace shrugged, "He does seem to like his way." She didn't know Galen too well from way back when, but he seemed to be a true alpha in the way he ran the pack. Which was a good thing. Alphas needed to be steadfast and sure of themselves to allow the pack to thrive. Grace waved off the offed cigarette, she didn't smoke. Thought it wasn't like it would kill them, just didn't care for the taste. The lingering whiskey that coated her tongue and lips when she licked them was a different story. That was something she enjoyed.

"Doesn't matter, does it? It's nice here. I like it." She sat next to him on the bench. Close enough that their knees brushed but not too close to become a deceleration. "I thought I would hate it and that Chess would try to make me miserable to get me to leave. But then, Galen let me help out here and-" She shook her head, "Aiden and you kinda make me want to stick around."

It was with less and less intensity that she missed her pack back home. It was hardly noticeable unless she thought really hard about it. "But I know I can't. Chess is never going to stop hating me because of Frank."

The conversation turned on him really quickly. Seamus wanted to go out back to be away from everyone's watchful eyes but now that they were alone Galen continued to be a topic of conversation. He was getting upset. Grinding his teeth together Seamus breathed through his nose as she spoke about Chessa and his brother, but then she said that he and Aiden had something to do with her wanting to stick around. This girl was a walking contradiction. On one hand she'd just mentioned how much of an alpha he really was and on the other she was talking about Seamus' son.

The pounding in his ears subsided for a moment. Was she leading him on? He was so confused. Perhaps he was picking up signs that she really wasn't putting down. It didn't matter though when the tone in her voice changed. Leaning forward Seamus wanted to get a good look at her face. She was clearly about to get upset.

"Fuck me," he said after she mentioned her father. They had never really spoken about it and he did know Frank even if he was just a distant memory. Throwing an arm over her shoulders Seamus gave up on being angry and pulled her in close. "She has to." Rubbing her shoulder with his thumb Seamus tried to comfort her.

"Hey," he was about to try to change the topic of conversation towards something a little happier. "Look at it this way, you guys are starting new lives here. You'll both probably settle down and start having your own little pups soon." Even though he didn't want to really think about he thought that maybe that was what she wanted. Galen was going to have many children and she was going to get an entirely new family.

The somewhat downtrodden expression Grace had been wearing melted away with the presence of Seamus' arm around her. The smile she sported didn't reach her eyes but she plastered one on regardless. This wasn't a pity party, she didn't need or want comfort or sympathy. "Doesn't matter." She shrugged, "That's on her." Grace wasn't going to allow her sisters feeling to dictate her idea of self worth.

His body was sun-warmed next to her and it felt nice. But something that he said caught her off guard. Her brow furrowed, creases appearing between her eyebrows where they started to knit together. You guys ate starting a new life here. She and Chessa? Did Shay think her move was permanent? That she would settle down with someone from the club? Maybe the thought had crossed her mind, but she was pretty sure with a son to take into consideration, the only club member she would even think about considering wouldn't be interested in that.

Grace didn't have the heart to tell him that she wasn't staying, that there wasn't a new family to be had here. She had a family already and the MC was not going to be a part of it. That was a conversation for a time when she wasn't pleasantly on her way to drunk. "Yeah." she was nonchalant when she looked away from his face, "Maybe."

Sleep was a very overrated concept. The nightclub Parker had decided to catch a secondary job at had him scheduled for not only that night but the night after. It was the club and pack that he put first though, so sleep could be put off until he wasn't needed anymore by Galen. Everything seemed to be falling into place on the expansion and Parker was happy to be a part of a family- blood or not- that had goals.

It could be seen as ironic that Parker lived amongst and ran with club such as the Cleirigh Rebellious Sons. The first fourteen years of his life had been one of strict rules, religious superiority, and being told he was evil. He glanced around the room at the others with a smile. He preferred the freedom, loyalty, and sense of family over everything that the Pack had. Parker would never wish to be anything other than a wolf.

Parker sat down at a bar stool in between the pool table and the couch. Picking up a book he had left on the shelves, he pushed his feet against each side turning the seat back and forth. Everyone's conversations were listened to, but he had a habit of losing himself in a good book also.

After he had finished speaking to Raleigh about Aiden and the nanny, listened to the shots that Chessa was taking at her sister and taken a phone-call with his father on a burner cell phone, he went to look for Parker. He was the only one that had found a job outside of the garage and the club -- in Galen's opinion Parker was a fairly good mechanic and didn't need to look elsewhere for work, but Galen had a feeling that his adoptive brother had found employment elsewhere as to not me a drag on the garage while it was just starting to get on its feet.

Perhaps, it was because (even though he'd been cared for like another member of the family) he still felt like an outsider and he needed to do more than the others, as if he needed to earn his place with the Cleirigh boys. Or, maybe, he just wanted some distance from the club, or branch out and do something else. Whatever it was ... Galen was still aware of the move that Parker had made. And, while he had a thousand other things going on, nothing went unnoticed, especially one of his brothers.

He found Parker, deep into his book, and a beer was held out to him -- Galen stuck the base of the bottle between Parker's eyes and the book to get his attention. "What're you reading, kid?" His own beer was brought to his lips, the cool amber beer was refreshing and cooled him down.

Parker did not mind working for the club or the garage. If Galen needed him, he'd drop everything for him, but the man was right in his assumption. There had always been a different feel between him and the others of a pack, one that Parker could not fully understand himself. His origin still haunted him and though the Cleirigh family had made no difference in their treatment of him to those of their real sons, he knew in his heart that he'd never truly be part of their family.

The job as a bouncer had been a way of bringing in his own money without taking from the garage as it was getting set up and breaking out as a business. The only way for a good cover business was to have one that was active. An upstart business even when funded from else where did not need another mechanic drawing money from it. Not until they did need him, but the shy side of the pup came with a want to be asked, even if it wasn't expected. He'd quit his bouncer job once everything was set and he knew he'd be needed in one capacity or another.

The pages of the book unraveled in his mind, taking him away from the club for long enough not to notice Galen stood in front of him until the beer was placed in his vision. Parker smirked and with a laugh took the bottle. "Thanks. I'm reading..." He glanced at the cover of the book. "Scarlet Letter." The pup was not as hardcore as others perceived him.

Turning in his stool, he placed the book down and popped the cap of the beer using the shelf. "How's the old man?"

It wasn't from a lack of love from the Cleirigh boys that Parker felt that way, or that was the way that Galen saw it, because they had treated him from the beginning like another brother and tried their best to keep him as involved with the family and their lives as best as they possible could. But, the older Galen got the more space he learned to give his brothers. They weren't kids anymore and they all needed their space, he just tried to be there when they needed him -- like Quinn was there for Galen, they all had a different default support system.

But, here he was with a beer in hand for his little brother and one for himself. "The Scarlet Letter?" His brows furrowed in amused confusion at what his brother had decided to read. "You've got to be fuckin' kidding me," he shook his head and took a long pull from his beer.

His shoulders lifted for a slight shrug when Parker asked about Connor Cleirigh. "You know, same as always. Bitching because we're idiot children and never get anything right," but, they hadn't done anything wrong ... just it hadn't been done his way and that meant it was wrong. He didn't like that Galen had tried to be friendly with the other wolf pack instead of being a dick and pissing all over everyone's ground.

A shrug and a swig of the beer, Parker smirked at Galen's reaction. Every one of the brothers had their different personalities and qualities for their areas of work, but Parker spanned between. His intelligence and bookish-ness hid underneath the rough, playful exterior that others saw. "What it's a good book?" He laughed. The book had been a random one he pulled from his bookshelves. It hadn't been read in some time, but Parker wasn't picky.

"Yeah, sounds like he's in good health then. I think if he complimented our actions we'd have to commit him." Parker had yet to meet any of the other wolves in the area, but the pissing on territory was left to the Alpha anyhow. If they wanted to start a fight, Parker was not above taking the low road and fighting. But he'd wait until the other wolves started it before he'd take action.

Taking another long drag from the beer, he cocked his head to the side and looked at his eldest brother. Parker wouldn't have changed the way his life went for the world. He might have lost his second set of parents, but he gained an entire family and siblings. "What's up with you, brother?"

Galen was only teasing him. He'd grown accustomed to Parker being different, none of the other brothers were really into books and things like that but they came from a different sort of stock -- though, he didn't really know exactly how different. Nonetheless, he smirked when his brother swore that it was a good book what he was reading. "I bet it is. Still makes you a big fuckin' nerd," his smile was so wide and bright that the corners of his eyes wrinkled again.

"I'd be worried if he thought we did something right," because, that meant that the old man was losing his will to fight them on everything they did. But, Galen didn't mind dealing with the bullshit from his father because it meant that the old man was still involved, making sure things were smoother for when Galen took over ... eventually.

His eyes moved back over to the couch where he'd left Raleigh with Aiden and Chessa. His brows rose when his brother asked him what was up. "Sometimes I think it does bother her and she's controlling herself from jumping out of her seat and ripping Chessa's throat out," but he was a selfish bastard and kept Chessa around anyway, even if it endangered Chessa and pissed off Raleigh. And, it might have been something that he shouldn't have talked about with Parker but ... he asked and that honestly had him stressed.

"This nerd will kick your ass, book in hand." Parker teased back with a laugh. He knew full well he couldn't take his brother in a real fight, but even that knowledge wouldn't stop Parker from joining a sparring match with him. He used the same attitude with any fight against bigger wolves or humans in general.

Following Galen's gaze, Parker nodded. "Chessa's scrappy; it'd be an interesting fight. Though I'd put my bet on Raleigh winning. As much as I love Chessa, she just wouldn't be able to make it to the end of that fight without a white flag." Any way he looked at it, Parker was sure Raleigh would win, which was why she was the Alpha female- besides being Galen's.

The fact that Galen could get two females while the others barely ever had one was funny to Parker. He was in no rush for a pack female and it could be said that he had a tendency towards obliviousness at interest. He flirted, and loved flirting, but it was a playful act. He even flirted with Chessa often, but it was only because they both had that nature about them and both knew there were no expectations past it.

"It will be fine, Galen. They're both testing their place. All new relationships have that." Parker was always an open ear to any of the brother's problems and surprisingly emotionally aware when it came to anyone but himself. He, of course, would tease them at the entrance of a new girl, but if there were any problems he was there and any problems in other parts of their lives, Parker was there to fight at their side.

"Bring it Shakespeare," who had nothing to do with Nathaniel Hawthorne or the Scarlett Letter but it was the best that Parker was going to get out of Galen when it came to fancy reading. Nevertheless, the smile on the older brother's lips spread and he reached out to pat Parker on the shoulder. Parker had always been a little different than the rest of his brothers but that didn't change anything between them. Galen was just as playful with Parker as he was with Seamus.

Galen nodded at Parker's assessment of the situation. His money was on Raleigh, not only because she was bigger and stronger than Chessa was, but because she had more invested in Galen and in the club. Chessa could leave whenever she wanted, without looking back, and there wouldn't be an repercussions. While if Raleigh left ... it would've been four years of her life wasted. Not that Galen would be okay with her leaving in the first place.

Galen had actively sought out having two females because he hadn't even started a family with Raleigh. The whole purpose of having two females would have been to procreate, to extended the family name and bloodline but Galen wasn't ready for all of that -- not yet, at least. He just wanted two girls.

His brother was right about the girls testing their place and boundaries. Chessa had been smart in not trying to challenge Raleigh in any way, shape or form -- it wouldn't have been smart for her own safety and it wouldn't have been good for her relationship with Galen. Raleigh was the Alpha female and as he expected his brothers and whatever other males joined their pack, he would expect the same from the females beneath Raleigh.

He turned his attention back to Parker, though, smiling. "What about you, though? Nothing in the area you like?" That was such a crude way to talk about women but that was how Galen was, always had been.

"I like looking." Parker answered with a smile. "That's one of the reason I took the bouncer job, clubs are a great place to look." He shrugged with a smirk. There was no one that drew his attention enough to want to settle down with them. Time could pass, days go by, but Parker knew that he would only ever be good for those singular nights of fun with a relative stranger.

"Plus girls don't exactly like it when you pick finishing a fight over them." He grinned ear to ear. "I got Chessa to help me win a bet when she visited me at the club the other day. I didn't only get to fight, but I got to drink on the job. But... only came back home with Chessa instead of someone for myself."

A good pack was one that respected the line of things. Any new additions needed to know hat immediately or they would find out the hard way of how things were. Parker liked Chessa as a friend and someone close to his age, so he was glad she didn't get too deep in trouble with Raleigh or Galen for that matter.
