I promise that we’ll get more into Fennec’s past and why she does what she does, it just isn’t time yet.

Chapter Two: January 11th
“Would you just text her already? You have her number; I don’t see what the holdup is.” Boba tossed the socket wrench back into the open drawer and closed it. He wiped at the grease on his hands with a blue paper towel. “Besides, you need to take her to a BACA meeting anyway. She hasn’t partnered with us officially and needs to know more if this judge is sticking around.”
“You don’t mean—” Fennec looked up from the email she was writing.
“Yes, that’s exactly what I mean. Get your ass up, get your phone, and tell her she should come tonight.”
“But she’s probably going to be too tired.”
“Just. Ask. Her.” He picked her phone up from where she had left it when she set up her work area for the day and held it in front of her face to unlock it. “Or do I need to call her office and pretend to be you?”
She snatched the phone away from him and opened up the conversation with you.
Got home safe, thank you
Good. Sweet dreams, Doc -fs
Those two messages had haunted her since she sent hers. She wondered if she should have said less, or said hi in the meantime? Either way, she typed out the message.
What are you doing tonight? -fs
She set the phone down, went back to her work.
***
You picked at the sad chicken in your bowl. You really needed to do a better job of anticipating what you would want to eat through the week when you cooked on Sundays. Rolling your eyes at it, you scraped it into the trash can. You were washing the dish and its lid when you felt your phone vibrate for what seemed like the 80th time that day. Sighing, you dried it off and put it in your lunchbox and sat back down at the communal table in the breakroom. It was empty for now, the students and residents off getting work done in the hopes of not staying past sign out. You pulled your phone out and opened up the message without looking at the sender.
What are you doing tonight? -fs
It took you by surprise to be sure. You felt badly about not replying to her since Friday, but if you were honest with yourself, you knew that you hadn’t been ignoring her intentionally. The days had been long as you transitioned to your week covering this service and you barely had time to feed and bathe yourself.
Same thing I always do, try and take over the world.
And by take over the world I mean go to bed
Do you have time to come to a BACA meeting? It starts at 5:30 -fs
You considered for a moment. You had a few more patients to round on, but otherwise your job was done for the day. You looked at the time, 12:30. You could make it.
I can make that happen. Where do you meet?
The reply was almost immediate.
Boba’s Garage. There’s a makeshift conference room. -fs
Sounds good. I’ll see you there.
You walked back into the kitchen area and started a fresh pot of coffee. You wondered what they could possibly want with you; you weren’t a biker. Sure, you were stern when you were advocating for your kids, but you weren’t even close to being on their level. Well, you thought to yourself, at least you can see her in her element this time, learn what they did in more detail.
***
You hurried up the expanse of concrete to the open garage, trying not to fall but also trying not to be late. A last-minute admission had turned your plenty-of-time-to-maybe-shower-and-then-get-there afternoon into a oh-no-I’m-going-to-be-late-and-they’re-going-to-be-mad evening. You saw the open door, heard voices coming from it and hurried to it. You took a deep breath and tried to slink in unnoticed. But of course, it was a conference room. There were people seated all around it, all talking amongst themselves still. Whew.
You saw an empty chair along the wall and sat down, trying to blend in with the wall as best you could. The scrubs you wore were wrinkled and your baby hairs were sticking straight up from the day you had had. You tried to smooth them down as best you could, swearing you would have a wash day tomorrow when you had the afternoon to work from home on things for CPS. You had no idea why Fennec wanted you here, but you hoped your appearance wouldn’t take away from whatever it was.
You sat in silence as you heard her call the meeting to order. Silence fell. She controlled the room. You crossed your legs as you listened to her.
You listened to them discuss financial matters, an upcoming meeting with another chapter. Then the attention turned to the reason the club existed: the kids.
“As you all know, we’ve heard some rumors about certain kids around town. Today I got confirmation that one of them was hospitalized this afternoon.” Fennec went on to describe what the story was without naming names and your eyes went wide as you realized she was talking about the toddler you had admitted this afternoon for the trauma service. How did she know? Your team was diligent about patient privacy and none of them would ever violate that, so how did she know? “…I worked with Peli all afternoon coming up with a plan and we decided that BACA needed to get involved once this little one gets out of the hospital.”
Peli? Social work? You started putting the pieces together. That was how she knew. You listened as they discussed plans for various outcomes: if they went home, if they went to temporary placement, if there would be a hearing before they were discharged. You listened, still not sure what you were doing here but appreciating that you got to hear what they were discussing, got to know what you offered when you gave the contact card disguised as a business card for a medical supply company.
They wrapped up their discussions, started gathering their things and dispersing. You would go to Fennec, but you had no desire to interrupt her in her space. So, you sat and waited as the room started emptying and engines started kicking to life outside. As the last person left, you stood up carefully.
“You came.”
“Of course I came, I said I would. Sorry I was late.”
“What are you talking about? You weren’t late. And I figured you would be cutting it close when Peli told me you were the one admitting the little one. I know these things take time.” You walked closer to her, perching on the conference room table to her right.
“Uh, thanks. Do you mind if I ask how you know Peli?” She had worked with you since you had started your contract.
“I don’t mind. I’m a social worker there too, I just usually work on the adult side of things. I only started getting introduced to the peds side when I got this gig.” You nodded as she spoke.
“Thank you for inviting me. I appreciate everything you all do, and I can’t tell you what it means to me that I got to learn a little more about what’s behind those cards behind the desk at the office.”
“It was Boba’s idea.” She readjusted the already perfectly stacked papers in front of her. “He threatened to call your office and pretend to be me if I didn’t invite you myself.”
You huffed out a laugh as you bumped your knee against hers.
“Then I’m grateful to the both of you. Thank him for me, would you? I—” Your eyes went wide as your stomach growled and interrupted your thought.”
“Damn, Doc don’t they teach you all to take care of yourselves? Did you eat today?”
“You know, they claim to, but it’s more ‘here’s how you can be more efficient about selfcare so that you can work more and not actually do anything about your quality of life’ and less ‘we genuinely care about you not passing out in a patient’s room or dropping dead of exhaustion.’ I hated what I brought today and had coffee and swore I was going to go to the café to get a snack but that didn’t happen, got too busy.”
She grabbed your hand and gave it a tug to get you to stand up.
“Come on, I’m buying you dinner from this little diner we all go to. You can thank Boba yourself and I can make sure you get a decent meal.”
You nodded, gave her hand a squeeze in thanks.
“Do you want me to drive?”
“Nah, it’s only a couple blocks away and besides, you’re not fit to drive right now.”
You rolled your eyes at that.
“I’m fine, I promise.”
“I know you think you are but come with me anyway.”
You nodded and she led you out of the conference room and then the garage out into the cold night air.
“I need to get my coat since we’re walking.” She just nodded and kept your hand in hers until you reached your car. You unlocked in, pulled the door open and grabbed the same wool coat you had been wearing when she rescued you, pulled it on. As you locked up and turned back to her, she took your hand again.
You walked in silence, which gave you plenty of time to sneak glances at her face, illuminated in the orange streetlights as you walked. The glow and the crunch of salt under your feet was hypnotic. As you got to the diner, light snow started again, making you grateful you were at your destination. She opened the door for you and dropped your hand again so you could pull the coat off and hang it up by the door.
“Hey, Fennec! You guys sit wherever you like,” the waitress called from behind the counter. “I’ll be over in just a sec.”
“Come on, you can thank him then we’ll sit as far away from him as we can.” She laughed. You thought you were going to swoon from her laugh.
“Sounds good, lead the way.”
“Boba, this is her.”
You held out your hand and introduced yourself.
“Ah, the famous Doc. We’ve all heard so much about you from Shand here.” He chuckled and gave Fennec a knowing grin as she groaned quietly.
“All good things, I hope? I just wanted to thank you for having Fennec invite me to the meeting tonight.”
“It’s no problem. And if that judge is going to keep handling abuse cases, we’re going to need you to know what we do, how we operate. I heard from a buddy from the last district they worked that they want all depositions given on the stand in front of them.”
You groaned internally at that. Your scheduling was going to get a lot more complicated.
“Thanks again,” you said as Fennec led you, true to her word, to a booth as far away from Boba and his line of sight as she could get you the two of you. You slid into the seat and she sat down across from you. You folded your hands on the table, then in your lap. “So, um, hi. I just want to say I’m really sorry for not replying the last few days. It’s been hectic and I haven’t had a lot of time to do anything for pleasure or leisure.”
“It’s okay. You’re a busy person, your job demands a lot of you and contrary to what a lot of people think, I know you’re not some all-powerful hero. You’re a person, doing what you need to do.”
You could have kissed her.
“You have no idea what it means to hear you say that. But enough about work and my inability to take care of myself some days. How have you been?”
***
You used the last bit of ketchup on your last fry as you listened to her tell you her story, about where she grew up, where she went to school, how she landed in this town and met Boba. How the two of them started the MC and that it had started as the two of them plus Din and Paz who you had yet to meet. When you were finished, you kept listening, you could listen to her all night. But it wasn’t long before you had to stifle a yawn.
“Come on, you need to go to sleep.” She slid the bill over to her, pulling out her wallet and wrapping a few bills up in it before you could get a word in of protest. “Boba will make sure no one takes it, let’s get out of here.” She stood and held out a hand to you, which you took. The two of you made your way over to where your coat hung and walked out as you shimmied into it. You tucked your hands into your pockets and squeezed the pocket warmers before you let her take your hand again, threading her fingers through yours.
The two of you walked in comfortable silence. The snow was still coming down, just flurries now, but with the promise of more to come. When you could see your car again, you both slowed your steps, neither of you quite ready to say goodnight, but you knew you had to, or you would be just that much more tired tomorrow, more on edge. She squeezed your hand once, twice as you got to it, now dusted with the white powder. You turned to face her.
“Thank you, for dinner, for talking, for inviting me, for everything.”
“No problem, Doc, really.”
You glanced back and forth between her eyes and her lips. You took a half-step toward her, tilted your head just to the right.
She brought her other hand up, cupped your cheek before brushing your hair out of your face. Her smirk made a brief appearance before she pressed her lips to yours. You kissed her back, letting yourself get lost as she brought her arms around your waist under your coat. Yours wrapped around her shoulders in response. She deepened the kiss, slipping her tongue along your lips briefly before you let your own brush against it. She tightened her grip on you, one hand sliding down into the back pocket of your scrubs.
When the two of you came up for air, you rested your forehead against hers, letting your breathing stay in sync. She made a small noise of displeasure as she leaned back, untangling from you and your coat.
“Fuck, I don’t want you to leave. But you need to. Go get some sleep, Doc. Let me know when you get home.”
“Fine, but I want you to do the same or I might just have to worry about you.”
“I can do that. Night,” she whispered in your ear before kissing your cheek and stepping back to let you drive away in the orange glow.

You stirred as grey, early morning light streamed in through the window. The room was quiet, cold while the bed you were in was warm with your love’s sleeping form next to you. He was still sound asleep, his slow breaths soothing to your ears. You considered getting up, braving the cold to start coffee. But the warmth was too inviting. Instead, you turned to face him and curled into his side, resting your head on his chest. You could stay like this forever, you were sure. You would have dozed, but you had a better idea. Something you and Whiskey had talked about a few days ago.
You slipped your hand under the blankets and traced your fingertips over his stomach, letting your nails catch in the sparse hair as they drifted lower. Your palm had a mind of its own as it brushed against his cock, not yet hard. But, as you wrapped your fingers around it and stroked ever so gently, it stirred while he did not just yet. You kept your touch light. Had he been awake, he would have complained about your teasing.
As you swiped your thumb over the head of him, he stirred beside you, a sigh accompanying the flutter of his lids. He ran a hand through his hair and his hips twitched in an attempt to buck into your hand. He wrapped his arm around you, and he pressed a kiss to your forehead.
“Darlin’, what’s gotten into you this mornin’?”
“I was trying out one of those things we talked about the other night. I thought you might like it.” You glanced up at him through your lashes, searching his face for any sign of displeasure. He met your gaze, looking at you with mischief in his eyes.
“Oh, it’s a wonderful way to wake up for sure, but I’ve got a better idea.” He reached down to grab your hand, rolled over you. He kissed you, softly at first then letting his tongue slide against the seam of your lips, coaxing them open. “Do you remember what else we talked about? That little resolution I made?”
He toyed with the small bars decorating your nipples, causing you to gasp and limiting your response to a small shake of your head.
“I believe, I resolved to have you on or against every flat surface in this house. And darlin’, I think the first one I want you against is this nice headboard.”
Tagging: @zeldasayer I know you love Whiskey, tagging you in case you get bored and run out of things to read, I've got plans for chef this month as well
