A/N: This is another new story but I'm doing great with all the others and I have a system for updating so I will keep doing what I'm doing… Plus I have several chapters written ahead on every SoA story I have posted… The idea and request for this story came from ozlady80! This first part is just going to be a prologue and the 1st chapter will pick up years later!

Disclaimer: I don't own SoA!

Prologue

Mia was in shock and not sure what to do or say. How could an eleven year old girl make the decisions for her Mother's funeral? She didn't even know where to start. She still couldn't believe that her Mother was dead and she knew who it was that killed her but she also knew even with only being eleven that if she said anything she would die at the hands of the person who killed her Mother.

Mia knew her mother had cancer and that she was dying from it but she saw her Uncle slip something into her mother's drink. She knew that he was killing her but she couldn't do anything about it. What could she an eleven year old girl do to the man who always said he would be there for mother?

After the house was cleared of everyone from police, her Uncle and everyone else she came out of her hiding spot. She knew that if she would have been found that they would have taken her away. She didn't want to go and live with strangers. She wanted to live with someone she had a connection too even if said person didn't even know she existed.

She walked slowly into her Mother's room and knelt down beside the bed and pulled out the box her Mom had shown her in case anything happened to her. She opened it up and pulled out the cell phone along with her birth certificate, letter to her father, pictures and an address book. She opened up the address book and looked for the name that she needed. Once she found it she picked up the cell phone and dialed.

She held her breath while she waited on someone to answer and then let the breath out when someone answered the phone and said "Yeah."

Mia wasn't sure what to say so she said in a small voice "Uh can I speak to Clay please?"

Clay pulled the phone away from his ear and looked at the number that showed up and then put it back to his ear "Is this Sophie?"

Mia sobbed when she heard the man say her Mom's name and she said "No this is her daughter. My mom was murdered."

At that Clay jumped to his feet. He had told Gemma about the sweetbutt named Sophie because Clay had felt responsible for her for some reason. He had known that she gotten pregnant from their encounter but he figured that since he hadn't heard from her again that she had gotten rid of the baby. But now he was thinking maybe he had a daughter that he didn't know.

He hurried towards the office and said in the phone "What do you mean your Mom has been murdered? Who killed her honey?"

Mia bit her tongue because she knew she couldn't say who. "I can't tell you that. What I can tell you is that the police are saying that she died from the cancer she had but I saw someone slip something into her drink and she died a couple hours later. I know that she was murdered. Mom may have had cancer but she was going to treatment and doing alright."

Clay was in the office by this time and he put the phone on speaker and motioned for Gemma to keep quiet and he said "Where are you at now Sweetie?"

Mia wanted to cry at the tenderness she heard in his voice. "I'm at home. I hid so nobody would find me because I knew that if they did they would make me go one of two places and neither would be safe for me. I may only be eleven but I'm not stupid. I'm getting ready to run away. But Mom made me promise to call you if anything ever happened to her. She said that you were nice to her and she never forgot that."

Clay closed his eyes and said "You're not going anywhere. My wife and I will come and get you. Can you stay hidden for about an hour?"

Mia sobbed and couldn't stop it this time and she said "Yes but please hurry. It's getting hard for me to breathe from where I was beaten earlier today."

Gemma could no longer hold her tongue and she swore and said "We're coming baby girl. Just hold on."

Mia liked the sound of the woman's voice and said "Yes Ma'am."

Clay shut his phone and looked at his wife and said "That was Sophie's daughter. I have a feeling she is also my daughter."

Gemma nodded. "I figured that baby and it'll be okay. I know that you have kept somewhat in contact with Sophie and in all honestly I always sent her money anonousmly so she wouldn't know who was helping her. Regardless if this is your daughter or not we're bringing her home with us. Now go get Jax and let's go."

Clay nodded and ran out to get his stepson. Soon him and his stepson were both on their bikes and Gemma was in her car. He was glad that he knew where Sophie lived still. Forty minutes later he was parking his bike and running up to the house. He was shocked to see the front door standing wide open. He pulled his gun out and saw Jax and even Gemma pulling their guns out and then they were all walking into the house and searching for the little girl that had called Clay.

Gemma found the young girl hiding underneath a pile of clothes in a close and she yelled out "I found her."

Mia stared up at the woman from where she was huddled underneath the clothes and she whispered "Who are you?"

Gemma took in the girl with one look and could tell that she was Clay's daughter through and through and she smiled as she helped the girl out of the closet and said "My name is Gemma. I'm your father's wife. You're okay baby girl. Nobody will hurt you anymore."

Mia threw her arms around Gemma and started crying. That is how Jax and Clay found Gemma and Mia. Well they found Gemma holding the young girl up in her arms.

Gemma turned her head and looked at her husband and said "She is your daughter baby. I could tell just by looking at her."

Clay stepped forward and held out his arms to the daughter he never knew he had and said "Come here honey."

Mia threw her arms towards Clay who took her from Gemma and held her tight to him and listened as she cried and said "Mom is dead and they killed her. They wanted to kill me too but I hid from them. My Mom is gone and I have nobody now."

Clay's heart broke at that and he kissed the girl's head and said "You have me and you have Gemma. You're not alone baby and never will be. Come on let's get you out of here. We'll just take you to get what clothes you need. Do you have anything though that you want or have to bring with you? What is your name honey?"

Mia chuckled a little and said "My name is Mia and yes there is some things I want to bring. There is a box full of things that Mom showed me and wanted me to keep with me always. I need to get it."

Clay nodded and then looked up when he heard a throat clear and he looked over at Jax who said "I'll take her. Why don't you make sure there is nothing you see worth bringing for her?"

Clay nodded and set Mia on the ground and said "Mia this is my stepson Jax. He is your step brother. He'll keep you safe while you get what you need."

Mia nodded and took the hand that Jax held out to her and smiled when he said "Come on squirt I'll protect you. I'll be your big brother and always keep you safe."

It was that moment when Mia felt that she loved Jax. She led him to the room where the box was at and made sure the pictures, letters, phone, and other documents were in it. She grabbed a picture of her Mom and put it in the box along with some of the jewelry her mom had.

She breathed a sigh of relief when they left the house. She never even looked back as Jax buckled her into the passenger seat of his Mom's car. She never looked back as Clay kissed her head nor when Gemma drove away from the house that held good memories but also bad memories.
