...Chapter 1...

Time was going by extremely slow, like turtle speed for Stephanie, or at least, to her, that's what it felt like, and she was anxious. Anxious for her doctor to confirm what she already knows, but she just wants to make sure everything is okay.

A few minutes later, her phone rang. She looked at it, raising her eyebrow, and pressed the talk button. "Uh, hey... Jax, what's up?"

"Hey, Steph... nothing much, how's Tacoma?"

"It's okay and I love the weather."

"Do you miss Charming at all?"

"Um." she paused. "Sometimes."

"Okay, well, you might want to plan a trip down here, like soon."

"Why?" she asked, as the doctor walked in with her chart, and a smile.

"Because it's..."

"Hey, Jax?" she cut him off. "I'm gonna have to call you back."

"But wait..."

"I'm sorry, bye." she told him, and hung up her phone, putting it in her purse, then she looked up at her doctor. "So, Dr. Martin... what's the news?"

"Well." she started, sitting down in her chair. "I got your test results and congratulations... you are pregnant."

"That's what I thought, but I wanted to make sure."

"Okay." Dr. Martin got up, dimmed the lights, and turned on the ultrasound machine. "Lay back and lift your shirt up, so we can see how far along you are."

"All right." Stephanie nodded and did what she was told.

"I'll be putting on this warm jell on your stomach and get started." Dr. Martin put on the jell, then used the ultrasound wand, moving it around. "Everything looks good." she pointed to the screen. "You see that little flicker?"

"Yeah."

"That's your baby's heartbeat."

"Wow... it's so small." Stephanie said, in awe.

"Yep." Dr. Martin nodded. "And you're around twelve weeks... I'll print you up some scans to take home with you."

"Okay, thanks."

Dr. Martin printed up five ultrasound pictures and set them on the counter, then grabbed a few paper towels, and handed them to Stephanie. "Go ahead and clean yourself up. Everything looks good and I'll see you back here in five to seven weeks to find out the sex of the baby."

"Okay." Stephanie smiled. "Thank you, Dr. Martin."

"You're welcome." she smiled back. "You take care of yourself and your little one. Have a good day." Dr. Martin nodded, then walked out of the room.

After Stephanie sat up and cleaned her stomach, she grabbed the scans, and walked out to her silver Maserati. As she got in, she grabbed her phone out of her purse, and pressed speed dial number two, looking down at the scans, with a smile.

"Yeah?"

"Hey, Koz."

"Hey, Baby... whatcha' doing?"

"I'm headed over to my place." she paused. "Can you meet me there?"

"Baby, actually, can you come to the clubhouse?"

"Yeah, sure... I'll see you in a little bit." she told him, then hung up her phone, dropping it in her lap. As she was about to start her car, her phone rang, then she picked it up and saw 'Mary' flashed on the screen. "Wow, this oughta be good." she muttered to herself, then pressed the talk button. "Hey, Ma."

"Hey, Steph? What are you doing right now?"

"Um, nothing... why? What's up?"

"You need to come down to Charming."

"For what, Ma?"

"Your brother needs you."

Stephanie could hear the panic in her voice. "Um, Mom, you're kinda scaring me... why does Opie need me?" she asked, then Mary explained everything that was going on.


It's been almost two and a half hours since Kozik heard from Stephanie, since she didn't show up at the clubhouse, and he was a little worried, and a little pissed, plus she wasn't answering her phone.

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

Koz glared at the semi-new Prospect named Lucky. "Shut up."

"No, seriously... what's going on? Anything I can help you with?"

"No." Koz groaned, headed towards the door. "Tell Quinn, I'll be back later."

"Yeah, all right." Lucky nodded, as Koz walked outside, got on his bike, and headed to Stephanie's.


"Steph, you're going crazy bananas... can you calm down and take a breath?"

Stephanie stopped frantically packing her clothes into her suitcases and stared at her almost sister-in-law, then took a few deep breaths. "Okay, Katie... I'm calm."

"All right... now I want you to start from the beginning."

Stephanie took another deep breath. "First, I got a call from Jax telling me that I should come down to Charming."

"Okay, why?"

"I didn't get to talk to him long enough to find out, I had to go."

"And then what?" Katie asked, then the door swung open with a very pissed up Koz. "Oh, hey, Bro."

"Katie." he nodded, then glared at Stephanie. "Why didn't you go to the clubhouse? I waited over two fucking hours!"

"I'm sorry."

"Plus you weren't answering your damn cell phone." he glanced down at the couch and seen the suitcases. "What's with the luggage?"

"I got a phone call, after I got off the phone with you, then I came straight here to pack."

"Pack for what? Where you going?"

"To Charming."

"Like hell you are."

Stephanie shook her head. "It's not a request and I'm not asking you for permission... I'm going, Opie needs me."

Koz growled as he crossed his arms over his chest. "For what, Steph?"

She took a deep breath and sat on the arm of the couch. "My mother told me that Opie, Donna, and the kids are at some holding facility in Stockton. She didn't go into detail, but Opie's being questioned for some murder and-or possibly being a part of the witness protection program."

"So why do you have to go?"

"Because Koz, Opie's my brother and he needs my support." she got off the couch and stood up. "Look, you can either keep fighting with me about it or spend time with me, not fighting with me, before I leave in a few hours."

"You're leaving in a few hours?" he repeated, kind of shocked.

"Yes, Koz... I need to get to my family."

"I'm your family."

"Koz." she groaned.

"Okay, your family, huh?" he slightly nodded. "Who was there for you when your father turned his back on you? It was ME! Or how about when your mother kicked you out? Again, that was ME! Oh yeah, and what about when your brother, you know, the one that supposedly needs you right now." he paused as she frowned. "Okay, what about when you went all those times to visit Opie in Chino, but he never wanted to see you. Who did you call every-fucking-time? Huh? It was ME!"

"Koz..."

"No, let me finish." she slowly nodded and he continued. "Look, Steph, if you wanna go back down there and get your heart broken by your so-called family some more, then that's fine by me... except this time, I won't be there to pick up the pieces." Koz glared at her for a few more seconds, then walked out, slamming the door as hard as he could, making Stephanie and Katie flinch.

After five minutes of awkward silence, Katie spoke. "Do you want me to talk to him?"

"No." Stephanie shook her head as tears fell down her cheeks. "It's fine, just... it's fine."

"I'm sorry, Steph."

"It's okay, Katie... he's pissed because Tig's there and I know them two hate each other, but for whatever the reason is, it has nothing to do with me." Stephanie sighed. "I just need to go see Opie, so I know what the hell is going on." then within an hour, Stephanie had all her stuff packed in her Maserati and on the road, headed down to Charming. She said her 'goodbyes' to Katie, but never got a 'goodbye' from Koz. A part of her was glad she didn't tell him about the baby, but the other part still wants to tell him, but how could she if he walked out on her the way he did? Stephanie was just torn and didn't know what to do.
