"You're on Abels surgery this evening." Olivia said, sipping on her coffee, she was clear it wasn't a question.

"I knew you'd be at the hospital once Jackson found out about his wife and baby." He sighed. Himself and Olivia had met for something to eat at the local diner, she had waited until now for him to tell her about being assigned to care for Abel but she couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Ex wife." Olivia muttered, taking a bite from her sandwich.

"It's still not finalized, they're legally married at this moment in time." Alan pointed out, watching her carefully.

"Whatever, they're not together now," Olivia shrugged before shaking the thought from her head and getting back to her point. "Were you gonna tell me about you being Abels doctor?"

"You are fully aware that I have doctor patient confidentiality clauses." Olivia rolled her eyes but decided to keep her mouth shut. Alan was always touchy where Jax was concerned.

"Are you working closely with Tara Knowles?"

"Doctor Knowles did ask to be on this case, she seemed to be quite concerned for the parties involved." Olivia hated it when he used his professional tone with her, it was condescending and pretty much told her that he didn't care for the conversation. "Why all the questions?"

"Really?" Olivia asked incredulously. "You know I grew up with Jax, himself and Opie are closer than brothers, obviously I'm going to be concerned, I don't see why you seem to have a problem with that."

"I'm going to pay for the food, I have to get back to the hospital." Alan sighed, cleaning his mouth with the napkin before standing from the table.

"I'm not finished?" Olivia pointed out, gesturing to her half eaten sandwich.

"Well I am, we both know there's no talking to you when you're in these moods." And with that Alan had turned on his heel, threw money to the guy on the cash register and left the building.

Olivia sighed heavily and continued to eat her sandwich, she looked up when someone occupied the seat across from her.

"I know you like him cause he's outside the MC but that's not the first time I've seen him being a bit of an ass to you." Juice shrugged, his dark eyes were full of sympathy as he surveyed Olivia. Juice was the youngest member of the Sons of Anarchy at the moment, he was dedicated to the club and did what he had to do but he was also young and stupid, Olivia always had time for Juice when he was a prospect.

"He deals with a lot when it comes to the MC," Olivia shrugged, finishing her sandwich and leaning back in her chair. "And everyone can be an ass sometimes, right?"

Juice smirked at her attempt of a joke. "I know you don't like the club, Liv, but don't settle for something less just cause it's not part of that life."

Olivia gave him a small smile before turning her attention to a text message that had just come through on her phone.

"Opie's looking for me at my place," Olivia frowned. "I'll see you later, Juice."

"Before you ask I have no double chocolate chip cookies left." Olivia teased her brother as she got out of her car, he merely smiled at her before following her up the few short steps to her apartment.

"Simpler times, Liv." He chuckled.

Opie waited until they were both inside and the door was firmly closed behind them before he got to the point of why he was visiting.

"Has anyone from the club mentioned anything about what's been going on lately?" Opie asked as he took a seat on the couch. Olivia busied herself in the joined kitchen, making them coffees as she thought of her answer.

"I'm not a member, Ope," She shrugged. "Important shit is sorted out in church."

"You're around the clubhouse more than I am lately and I know Jax wouldn't purposely keep any info from you." Opie pointed out sternly, watching for a reaction that would give his little sister away.

"I know the Mayans torched the warehouse and two Mexican women were caught in the crossfires." Olivia admitted, handing Opie his cup of coffee as she sunk into the armchair with hers. "You were at church the other night though, you don't need me to spy on the guys for information."

Opie hesitated before making a split second decision to confide in his sister, he knew loyalty was her number one trait above and beyond all else.

"The guys are looking for me to do a job for them, some form of retaliation. I know I was at church the other night but right now my main concern is Donna and the kids, I don't want to risk being put back inside and I really do want to make a go of going straight."

"Clay isn't gonna be that understanding." Olivia guessed to which Opie nodded along. "I told Jax you and Donna needed time to get back on your feet, maybe he'll be able to buy you time where Clay is concerned."

"It was Jax that came to me about it." Opie sighed, slugging away at his coffee. "He was brotherly and tried to be understanding but I know the order is coming from Clay."

"I love Donna, Ope," Olivia told him. "And I know the club is scary, especially to outsiders, I'm not a member and it still freaks Alan out but part of me wants to say Donna knew what she was getting into when you guys got married, you didn't hide the club business from her."

Opie nodded along before draining the rest of his coffee in one gulp. "You working tonight?"

"No," Olivia shook her head. "I told Gemma I'd keep her company in St Thomas while Abels in surgery so I took tonight off, just gonna have to make it up another time." Olivia worked in one of the local bars in Charming, it was a means to an end but when she wasn't there she helped out in the office in Teller Morrow, Gemma always threw her some cash for her help.

After this Opie left to go home to his kids and Olivia drove to St Thomas, parking her car up and making her way inside the hospital she assumed Gemma would be hanging around the floor Abel was being kept in.

"He's gone in?" Olivia asked, looking through the glass into Abels room to see the incubator was gone.

"Yeah they took him in about twenty minutes ago," She sighed, taking a seat on one of the plastic chairs.

"How's Jax doing with everything?" Olivia asked, perching herself on the seat next to Gemma.

"He's not good, sweetheart," Gemma rubbed her forehead. "He nearly killed the guy that was supplying Wendy and he hasn't been here much." It was no secret that Jax was struggling with the thoughts of being a father before any of this shit started. Himself and Wendy had tried to reconcile but she went back to injecting herself and Jax ended it again, Abel was one result from a hectic time.

"And Tara?" Olivia couldn't help but ask, she studied her hands closely but she was aware of Gemmas gaze on her.

"I'm not sure what the good doctor is planning but I don't like the fact that she's back anymore than you do."

"I just don't want to see Jax back in that space again, he's already dealing with so much. Plus I just don't like Tara." Olivia admitted making Gemma laugh.

"We have that in common." She nodded, grinning.

XxXxXxXxXxX

The two women waited for what felt like hours, Gemma went for a walk while Olivia went to get coffee from the cafeteria and have a cigarette. After an eternity the double doors finally swung open revealing Tara and Alan on the other side.

"How'd it go?" Gemma asked as they rushed towards the surgeons.

"Doctor Knowles did an excellent job, Abel is stable at the moment, we just need to get him nice and comfortable and then you'll be able to see him." Olivia released a breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding. Tara continued to go in depth with Gemma on Abels current situation while Olivia turned her attention to Alan. She gave him a shy smile and reached for his hand, squeezing it gently. He gave her a small smile back and nodded, their way of apologizing to each other about earlier.

Taras gaze is what caught Olivias attention, she turned to follow it, her gaze focusing on Jax making his way along the corridor. Tara had pushed past the others to get to Jax, she informed him about Abel and they watched as Jax scooped Tara into a bear hug. Olivia turned to face Alan, not wanting to look at the scene in front of her.

"Call me later when you get a chance, I'm going to head home," She told him, squeezing his hand once more, he nodded and smiled gently.

Olivia turned to leave when she saw Tara had pushed Jax's Kutte aside, revealing his blood stained t shirt underneath, she stepped back before turning on her heel and leaving through a double door at the side of the corridor.

Olivia made sure Alan had gone before giving Gemma a small shrug and making her way over to Jax.

"Where are we going?" Jax asked as she pulled him through another door.

"You're not seeing your son for the first time with a busted cheek and blood all over your neck." Olivia grumbled, she had pulled them into a womans bathroom, quickly checking the stalls were empty, she locked the main door before turning to Jax.

"I'm not even gonna ask, just sit still," She sighed, pulling antiseptic wipes from her handbag.

"Did you rob an intern or something?" Jax laughed as he watched her pull all kids of antiseptic supplies from her bag.

"When you live with a surgeon you tend to accumulate these things." She shrugged before focusing on Jax's face. He was leaning against the sinks so she wouldn't have to go up on her tip toes to survey the damage.

"I'm so happy the kid is gonna be okay," Jax grinned, the look on his face made Olivia smile.

"We're gonna have to take it one step at a time but he's definitely a Teller." She nodded, the cut on Jax's face was superficial, the blood had stopped long ago, Olivia silently wondered if most of this blood was even his.

"We are, are we?" Jax was watching her closely, her face was so close to his, she had her nose scrunched up and her mouth set as she focused on her task. Jax was sure he could have just washed all of this off in the mens room with a wet towel but he let her have her moment.

"You just try and keep me away from that kid." Olivia smiled, making Jax chuckle in response. "There's not much I can do about the bloody clothes, we don't have a change and that won't wash out but at least zip your hoodie up."

"Okay, Mom," Jax rolled his eyes as Olivia narrowed hers at him. "I feel like I'm going for my first job interview or something."

"Compare me to Gemma again, I dare you." Olivia laughed. "Besides, first impressions are everything."

"I'm wearing a vest." Jax muttered, Olivia was collecting the mess of wipes and throwing them away, trying to disguise them with the rest of the trash, when she turned around her eyes darted straight to the floor as she felt her cheeks starting to burn, Jax had shrugged out of his hoodie and was in the process of pulling his white t-shirt over his head.

"What?" He asked, sounding amused. "Doesn't the doc change in front of you or something?"

"I am not going to talk about my sex life, Jackson." Olivia warned, forcing herself to look him in the eye. "I was checking to see if I dropped a wipe."

Jax smirked as he pulled the Velcro ties on the bullet proof vest apart, removing it from his body. He looked behind him into the mirror, seeing the two small bruises that were forming where the asshole shot him this evening.

"Don't want to know." Olivia held her hands up, although the bruises were acting as a good distraction, she knew Jax kept himself fit and she had heard the croweaters talking about his body but seeing it in person was something else.

After their disagreement earlier she did think of Alan and feel guilty at the way she was appreciating Jax right now but hey, a girl can look right? Her teenage self was doing cartwheels right now.

"Gimme that, we can hide it and smuggle it out later," Olivia snapped herself out of it, taking the vest from Jax. She pulled open the cupboards underneath the sink, yanking bags of toilet roll out of the way she stuffed the vest in the back so no one would see unless they were purposely looking.

When she stood up she was relieved to see that Jax was fully dressed again, the zip on his hoodie was pulled up to hide the blood stains underneath and the cut on his face didn't look as raw and angry anymore.

"Slick your hair back and let's go." Olivia ordered him before unlatching the lock on the door.

They walked out of the bathroom and turned to the right to head for Abels room, both of them stopped in their tracks as they saw Alan watching them from the nurses station.

Olivia sighed before turning to Jax. "You go see Abel, I'll be there in a few minutes."

Jax moved forward and pulled Olivia into a tight hug, resting his head on the top of hers.

"Thanks for everything." He whispered into her hair, she hugged him back.

"Always." She muttered into his chest, she realized from the shake in his voice that all of the bravado and teasing that was going on in the bathroom had disappeared as they started walking towards Abels room. Olivia realised for the first time Jax Teller was scared. "Your Mom is probably waiting outside his room for you."

Jax gave her one last squeeze before releasing her and making his way towards the double doors.

"I can understand that he's emotional at the moment," Alan sighed, making his way over to Olivia. "I'd be more worried if he wasn't with everything that's going on, but why were the two of you in the womens bathroom together?"

"It was club related," Olivia responded softly. "I just wanted him to make a good first impression on his son." Alan sighed heavily, Olivia knew he was doing his best to adjust to watching her and Jax's dynamic. "When your shift ends tomorrow I think we should spend the entire day just not leaving the house."

Alan smiled at this thought, looking at his girlfriends coy smile. "How am I supposed to resist that." He leaned down to peck her on the lips but was caught off guard when Olivias hand came up to his neck, deepening the kiss while her thumb stroked his jaw line. "Hey," He laughed, pulling away gently and placing a hand on her hip. "I'm on duty."

"Oi, I watch Greys Anatomy I know what goes on in these places." She quipped making him laugh again.

Once they had said their goodbyes Alan watched as Olivia strolled through the double doors, going to join the Tellers in Abels room. He guessed he just had to make peace with the fact that he would be seeing a lot more of Jackson Teller these days.

Olivia made her way into the suite, Clay was looking into Abels room through the window. "I think he might be the next VP." Olivia smiled, nodding towards Abel's tiny form.

"Yeah, tough as boots already," Clay smirked, Gemma and Jax were stood side by side looking down on the new addition to their family, Olivia could tell by the shake in Jax's hands that he'd been crying.

Olivias head whipped around as three nurses jogged by her and Clay, responding to an emergency call by the sounds of it, as they opened the double doors she saw Tara standing on the other side, their eyes met.

Without saying anything to Clay, Olivia made her way out to the main room once again.

"Never got to welcome you home," Olivia sighed, watching Tara sign a document and hand it off to the nurse.

"Almost forgot about you Olivia, you're so grown up now." Olivias eyes narrowed at the not so sincere tone of Taras voice.

"Too grown up to be spoken to like a twelve year old anyway," She snorted, folding her arms across her chest, with that three more nurses ran by with what looked like a crash cart. "What's going on?"

"Wendy OD'd." Tara said, causing Olivias jaw to drop. "When you were waiting for Abel to get out of surgery, was Gemma with you the entire time?"

Olivia composed herself quickly, refusing to make eye contact with the doctor, Wendy was in a bad way over Abel and she was a junkie anyway, it's not hard to believe that she had OD'd on purpose, thinking she was doing the right thing by everyone else. Olivia told her self this over and over again, avoiding answering Taras question, because no, Gemma hadn't been with Olivia the entire time.
