LEXI'S P.O.V. (3 WEEKS LATER)

"Lexi? Did you hear me?" David asked. I looked at him, not knowing what he had just asked because I had been lost in my own thoughts. Thoughts that revolved around the fact that I hadn't been able to learn any info on the ATF and the fact that I heard from Donna this morning with news about Jax. He knocked up a crankhoe croweater and had eloped in Reno two days before. He hadn't spoken to me since that horrible day in the Chapel and each time I had been at the clubhouse at night he had been extremely drunk with either Ima or Wendy attached to his hip. Gemma was going to shit bricks when she learns that Wendy and Jax got married without telling her first.

"Sorry David. My head was somewhere else. What did you say?" I asked before forcing myself to take a bite of my BLT. We were seated at the counter at Lumpy's where we had lunch twice a week at 11:30am. I was bored out of my mind. He was sweet but there was no chemistry and he was all about routines and schedules. He lacked spontaneity.

"I asked what time Sophie is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. I feel bad about having to cancel our dinner plans tonight since I have to work. I was hoping to take you to lunch tomorrow before she arrives. Also, Lexi, I hope this stays between us but I need to know if you are planning on going to TM tonight." he replied.

Holy shit! This is finally paying off. If he's working tonight and asking if I'll be at the clubhouse it's because the ATF is going to raid the club tonight. I need to get word to Clay ASAP. After quickly finishing my lunch and telling David I was unavailable for lunch tomorrow I ran across the street to where construction was well underway on my building.

Half-Sack and Filthy Phil came in thru the back door within minutes of my leaving Lumpy's Diner. "Lexi, are you okay?" Filthy Phil asked. "I need one of you to go find Clay. Tell him it's going down tonight. The other one needs to follow me home for a few hours before I head to TM tonight." I instructed as I grabbed my laptop and told Oswald's construction foreman that I would see him on Monday.

CLAY'S P.O.V.

I'm going to kill my stepson I thought to myself as Bobby and I watched Gemma have a meltdown in the TM office. We had just received word from Jury up in Indian Hills that Jax had shown up with his pregnant bride, a croweater who was well known for her crank habit. Fuck. What the hell was he thinking!?

A knock on the office door had me yelling "Go the fuck away!" No one else needed to see my Old Lady like this. "Clay?" a voice called out from the other side of the door. Bobby opened the door about six inches and said "Did you not hear your Prez, shithead? He said go away!" Bobby was about to slam the door shut when Half-Sack stuck his foot in the door. "I have a message from Lexi for Clay. It's important." he said.

I looked at Gemma. "Club business." I told her. I knew it was important if Lexi hadn't called or texted herself. "It's okay baby. Go do what you need to do. We can talk about this later." she said. I kissed her and headed out to the lot with Bobby behind me.

"What is it?" I asked the prospect. He had been with us for almost a year. Chibs was his sponsor so I was going to have to check with him soon to get his thoughts on patching the kid in.

"Lexi wanted me to tell you it's going down tonight. She cut her lunch with David Hale short to get you the message. Phil followed her to her house. She said she would be here in a few hours." he replied.

So, the ATF was going to raid SAMCRO tonight. Won't they be surprised I thought to myself as I grinned at Bobby. "Emergency church meeting in an hour. Get everyone here. Looks like my daughter has proven her loyalty. Get a hold of Jax. Tell him the honeymoon is over and to get his ass on the road. I want him back here before the Feds show up tonight." I instructed the club's resident Elvis impersonator who was also the SAMCRO secretary.

I walked back into the office and told Gemma that I wanted all the mechanics, hang-arounds, sweetbutts and croweaters off the lot by 5:30pm. Church was scheduled for 9:00pm with the weekly after-Church party starting at 10:00pm. My guess is that's when the Feds will hit us. They were going to be in for a surprise, just as Captain America will be when he sees Lexi standing with her family.

LEXI'S P.O.V.

I pulled into the lot at TM just after 6:00pm. I looked at the clubhouse and then at the office where I could see Gemma sitting at the desk. I walked over to the office before I went to find Clay.

"Gemma..." I said softly. The pain she was feeling, the pain caused by Jax, was clearly written across her face. I walked in, leaned over and gave her a hug. "I'm sorry and congratulations. You'll be a kick-ass grandma." I told her.

"Thanks Lexi. What are you sorry for?" she asked with a sad smile on her face as she lit a cigarette.

"Gemma, everyone knows how much you love your son. I'm sorry you weren't there to see Jax get married." I told her.

"My son knows better than to knock up and marry a croweater but he hasn't been himself lately. I think he's afraid to get hurt again the way he was when Tara left. He knows you're different though. I've seen the way he looks at you. I've also seen the way you look at him. He doesn't love the crankhoe croweater. She'll never be my daughter. But you, baby girl, doing what you've done for the club...you've proven you're loyal. You've proven you are family. Now, enough of this shit, let's go find your father." Gemma said surprising me...probably surprising the both of us.

"Clay. Look who found me in the office." Gemma said to my Dad as we walked into the main room of the clubhouse. "Lexi-Kate. I can't thank you enough. Gemma, I have the prospects and Kozik doing one last sweep of the clubhouse. If they find anything I need you to take it and put it in the safe at home. You'll need to leave your piece there as well if you're going to be on the lot tonight." Clay said.

Gemma turned to go find Kozik but before she did I knew I needed to tell them...just in case Josh Kohn showed up on the lot tonight.

"Wait...do you mind if the three of us talk privately first? It won't take long but there's something you need to know before the ATF shows up here tonight." I said, noticing the look of distrust once again flashing across the faces of Clay and Gemma. Clay nodded and we all headed into the Chapel.

"So, there's something I should have told you before but I didn't know how. I don't know who this Agent Stahl is but I do know Agent Josh Kohn." I said only to be interrupted by Gemma's accusations. So much for a truce and for being family.

"Wait. Gemma listen. Josh Kohn has been stalking me since my freshman year of college. I lived in the same dorm as his younger sister and from the day we moved in freshman year he's been harassing me. It got so bad that since I have gotten two restraining orders against him over the past five years. He constantly showed up in Savannah. He would leave gifts on my car...at my door...at my stores. I got everything from flowers and jewelry to pictures of my ex-boyfriend fucking another girl. He's aggressive and mean. He's also violent. I know I should have told you but it's because of me that he's here. I just don't know how he found me and found out about my connection to SAMCRO. I'm sorry and if you still want me to leave I will as soon as I get the store opened." I told them.

CLAY'S P.O.V.

"Violent? He physically assaulted you? He dared to lay a finger on you? On my daughter?" I yelled. I was going to kill him.

"I'll kill him." I heard from the doorway. Gemma, Lexi and I looked up in surprise to see Jax standing in the open doorway with Wendy, Opie, Bobby, Happy and Tig behind him.

"Rat take Wendy home and come straight back here." I instructed one of the prospects as I walked into the main room.

"Jax...I belong here. I'm family. You can't let them shut me out. If she gets to stay then I get to stay. I am your Old Lady after all." Wendy wined as she glared at my daughter.

"You might currently be his wife but you'll never be his Old Lady. There's only one person who deserves that title and it sure the fuck isn't you." Gemma said to Wendy.

"Enough. We don't have time for this shit. Jax tell your wife to go with Rat. I'm guessing the rest of you heard how Kohn has stalked and assaulted my daughter. He will pay but first we need to get through tonight." I said before walking to the bar and getting myself a drink.

JAX'S P.O.V.

Jesus. I have a headache. I've had a headache since Wendy told me three weeks ago that she was pregnant. She was ten weeks pregnant when she told me. I knocked her up the first time I had drunkenly fucked her. Damn condom broke but I had been too far gone to notice...or too far gone to be able to stop.

My mother is hurt and pissed. Lexi is pissed and refusing to acknowledge my presence. Clay is pissed and now Wendy is trying to further insert herself into my world by referring to herself as my Old Lady and going head-to-head with Gemma.

"Wendy go with Rat. I'll talk to you later." I told her. I had made it five steps when she called out; "You are coming home tonight, right Jax?" I crossed back to her and saw her shaking in fear as I got in her face. "I told you I was staying in my dorm. You got my name and the house. The kid will have my name but after it's born we will be getting a divorce." I hissed at her.

"Remember I am your wife and I'm the one pregnant with your child. Not the stuck up Southern bitch. You never know...you might actually enjoy being married to me. You've always enjoyed fucking me." she said. Her last sentence was loud enough for everyone, including Lexi, to hear. I watched as Wendy smirked in Lexi's direction, rubbed her belly the way pregnant women do and then turned to follow Rat out to the lot.

"Trouble in paradise already Brother?" Opie asked a short time later, coming up behind me. I know that he and Donna had grown close to Lexi over the past few weeks and for that I was thankful. Before I could answer his question, Clay announced it was time for all of us to head outside and wait for the Feds.

It pissed me off that Lexi was here and involved in this. I also couldn't help but wonder who she had thought of when she chose her outfit for tonight...me or Hale. She had on a backless purple halter top that exposed quite a bit of cleavage along with black mini-skirt with a slit up the right thigh. God and her shoes...black peep toe wedges which laced all the way up to her knee. She was so fucking hot and I was getting hard just looking at her.

"You're married Jackson. Stop looking at Lexi like that before Clay notices." my mother said. "I'm sorry Ma, for the thing with Wendy." I told her as we took our places with the others. I hated knowing I hurt her.

Gemma, Clay, Lexi and I were front and center planked by Opie, Bobby, Juice, Chibs, Happy, Kozik, Tig, Half-Sack, Filthy Phil and Rat. Piney was still up at the cabin guarding the guns we stashed up there.

Within minutes we all watched as unmarked and marked police cars pulled into the lot. I could feel myself getting more and more pissed as the Feds and Charming PD filed out of their cars. Two voices, at the same time, called out Lexi's name before anyone else said a word.

I watched in disbelief as she stepped forward. I reached out to grab her but was stopped by Opie. "Let her do this." he quietly said.

LEXI'S P.O.V.

As soon as I heard my name called by both David and Josh I knew it was time to do what I could in order to protect my family. I saw the disappointment in David's eyes as he took in my appearance. I knew he was upset that I was here. The look on Josh's face caused me to cringe. He was fucking crazy.

I felt Jax reach for me as I stepped forward only to be stopped by Opie. I turned to my left and looked a Clay. I reached out, squeezed his hand and said "Dad, I need you to trust me here. I know what I'm doing." I saw Clay's eyes widen when I referred to him as Dad. Still unsure he looked at Gemma and then at Jax and Opie.

"I got her back Clay. She knows what she's doing." Opie told them. Clay nodded at me. I turned and held my hand out to Opie and watched as he pulled an envelope out of his kutte and handed it to me. I turned to my family and told them not matter what happened they couldn't go after me. They couldn't cross the invisible line. I walked the twenty feet to where David was standing with Josh and June Stahl.

I ignored Josh and looked only at David. "Deputy Chief Hale. The man standing to your right has just violated a restraining order. He has been ordered to stay 100 yards away from me and my property at all times. In this envelope you will find a copy of the restraining order as well as a thumb drive. The thumb drive contains footage of the twelve times over the past three weeks Agent Kohn has violated that order by trespassing on my property and entering my home while I was both sleeping and not at home. I'm going to insist you arrest him." I said to David as I handed him the envelope.

"Alexis, you can't be serious. You know I am just looking out for your well-being. You know, my sweet Alexis, I love you." Josh said with a deranged look in his eyes. I watched, frozen and in shock, as he reached out and grabbed my arm. He twisted it, pulling me towards him, while his other hand grabbed my red hair and yanked my head back. "I told you Alexis. You would never get away from me. No one will love you the way I do." he said as a female voice yelled out and I heard the movements of Clay, Jax and Opie behind me.

"Agent Kohn! Back down and let go of the girl." June Stahl yelled out as my entire family moved forward to only be blocked by the cops. I yelled for them to stop but within seconds I felt myself being pulled out of Josh's grasp and into Opie's arms. He picked me up, put me down behind him and blocked Kohn from having access to me as David wrestled Josh to the ground and put cuffs on him.

CLAY'S P.O.V.

I couldn't be more proud of my daughter. What she did took balls. However, I wasn't done with Kohn yet. He'd get out of jail and then I'd let Happy, the Tacoma Killer, take care of him.

I moved forward and addressed the agent in charge. "Agent Stahl. It's been too long. What can we do for the A-T-and-F tonight? Need some car repairs done? Or do you want to come into Club Reaper for a drink?" I said, knowing I was baiting her.

"As much as I would love to go into the clubhouse I don't think it's the best option tonight since one of my agents has gotten himself into a shitload of trouble. Who's the girl? Don't think I've seen her before." Stahl replied.

"Lexi! Come here. I want to introduce you. Agent June Stahl this is my daughter, Alexis Montgomery." I said, not knowing what a shock I was in for.

"Actually, it's Alexis Morrow. Just as my birth certificate reads. I had it changed shortly after moving to charming. It became official last week." she said softly in her cute Southern drawl, surprising me. "I'm heading inside to get a drink with the guys. Agent Stahl, I have a feeling we'll be seeing each other again." she said before heading in the direction to where Opie, Chibs, Half-Sack and Filthy Phil were waiting for her outside the entrance to the clubhouse.

I watched as the Feds and the cops piled back into their cars and left the lot. I knew it wasn't the last we would see of the ATF but they would back off for a little while. I turned and saw everyone had gone inside except Jax and Gemma.

"Clay, we need to talk about Lexi...about me and Lexi...and about me and Wendy." Jax said from the picnic table as Gemma shook her head. "There is no you and Lexi. Not now...not ever...and definitely not while you have a pregnant wife at home. Stay away from my daughter Jax. Is that understood?" I replied.

"Clay..." Gemma started. "No Gem. He is not to go there. I won't let him treat my daughter like a sweetbutt or a croweater. That's the end of it." I said before I walked over to my bike and drove off the lot.

JAX'S P.O.V.

Two hours later I sat outside of Lexi's house on my bike. I took my helmet off and walked up to the front porch. "I'm sorry Jax but she said she didn't want any visitors tonight. I've already sent David Hale away." Filthy Phil said to me. "I'm your VP. If I say let me in then you need to step aside and let me in. If you don't you'll never get your top rocker. You'll never be patched in. Who the fuck are you to tell me no?" I said to the giant prospect, ready to push my way past him.

"He's following my orders. Go home to your wife...your pregnant wife, Jackson or go to your dorm. Leave Lexi alone." my mother said from the end of the front porch. "She's a good girl Jax who deserves to be more than your mistress. Leave her be." my Mom said before hugging me and walking thru Lexi's front door...locking it behind her.

GEMMA'S P.O.V.

"Is he gone?" Lexi asked from the back deck. We were on our second bottle of Pinot Grigio. Lexi knew she wasn't strong enough to say no to my son so she asked if I would spend the night in one of her guest rooms. Clay was thrilled Lexi had reached out to me so he was fine with sleeping alone tonight.

"Yeah. He's gone for now baby girl. Why don't you go get some sleep? Before you know it Sophie will be on your doorstep." I suggested to the girl I had come to respect over the past month...the girl I was starting to consider as family. We carried out glasses and the bottle of wine back into the kitchen. She looked sad and exhausted. It had been a long day and having the pregnant Wendy Case-Teller show up did not make things any easier for the young woman who was in love with my son.
