Sons of Anarchy Imagines

Don't Second Guess Yourself - Tig

Description: Tig's 15 year old stepson gets into a fight at school so Tig and his old lady have to handle it.

"Take a seat at the table," I said, pointing to the kitchen. My fifteen year old son had gotten into a fight at school and was suspended for a week. I was hoping I wouldn't have to handle this alone but my husband was not answering his phone.

I dialed Chibs number, hoping he'd send Tig home.

"Eh lass," he said.

"Wheres my husband at?" I asked.

"Headed home ten minutes ago," he said. "Figured he was in some deep shit with ten missed calls."

"Thank you Chibs," I said. He responded briefly before hanging up.

I stood in the kitchen, making coffee as AJ sat at the table, fidgeting with a ring.

"Are we going to talk? Or am I going to sit here forever?" He asked.

"Your dads on his way," I said. "I can't send you to your room because that's your space so it's not really a punishment."

"So we're going to wait for dad?" He asked. I nodded. We had about an hour before I had to pick the younger two up from school, so hopefully this would be settled by then. I took a sip of my coffee as Tig walked in the door.

I leaned against the counter as he walked over and kissed me quickly before taking my coffee and taking a sip.

"Wanna tell me why you aren't in school?" Tig asked.

"I got into a fight," AJ said.

"You what?" Tig asked. I grabbed his arm to keep him some what calm.

"The principal suspended me without letting me explain myself because 'all you club kids know how to do it fight and smoke pot'," AJ explained, doing a pretty funny impersonation of his principal.

"Why did you get into the fight?" I asked. I hadn't asked any questions or brought it up yet because Tig and I have an agreement to handle this type of stuff together.

"Andrews kept touching Katie and I told him to leave her alone and he wouldn't listen. After lunch I went to the bathroom and he backed her into a corner. I walked up and told him to back off and punches flew," AJ said. Katie is his girlfriend and Andrew's was the last name of a kid whose antagonized fights with the two of them for the whole year. AJ has tried talking to him in the past and tried to tell the teachers but he's gotten no where so it's no surprise it ended this way.

"You can't go around picking fights because a man won't leave your significant other alone," Tig said.

"You do," AJ shot back. He had a point. Tig was known to throw punches when guys can't keep their hands to themselves and not just over me. He had a serious issue with men being pervs and thinking they can touch any woman they want.

"How long are you suspended for?" Tig asked.

"A week," AJ said. Tig nodded.

"Let your mom and I talk about this," Tig said and AJ headed out of the kitchen.

"What do we do?" Tig asked.

"I think the missing school and having to deal with the missed assignments will be more than enough. Cause he's loosing eight hours a day with Katie," I said. "He won't like that."

"He's going to help out around here," Tig said. "So laundry, dishes, cooking, I'm sure your car needs an oil change. He's not going to sleep til noon and fuck around."

"Alright," I said. "There's plenty of work for us to have him do during school hours. After school he can help out with the younger two like he does anyways."

"And Friday night he's on babysitting duty. I'll put a prospect outside but you and I are spending the night alone," he said with a smirk.

"No more Trager kids," I said.

"Come on baby, just one more," he said.

"We have a son who was just in a fight to deal with," I said.

We headed off to AJs room and explained that he wasn't in more trouble but he also wasn't going to waste his days. He agreed that it was fair to make him spend his days productively and to make him babysit on Friday.

That night after the kids were all in bed, Tig and I headed to our room.

"How did today go?" I asked.

"With AJ?"

"Yeah," I said. "Do you think we did the right thing?"

"We did," he said. "Don't second guess yourself. You're a great mom, even if you were only 17 when you had him."

AJ wasn't Tigs, but when Tig and I got together, he stepped right up to the plate with AJ. Tig is the only man I'd want to raise kids with.

"Thanks baby," I said, kissing him quickly. "You're a great dad."

"I try to be," he said. He always got self conscious when I complimented his parenting abilities because he felt he hadn't done enough for his daughters.

"You are Alexander," I said, forcing my way into his arms and kissing his lips once again.
