Jax sped to St. Thomas Hospital to see exactly what damaged had been done to his ex wife and new born son. We talked about the most random topics and he couldnt bring up the fact that he had a wife well ex wife and she was pregnant with his kid? But then again I wasn't telling him about the real reason I was in Charming so I couldn't judge. After what seemed like forever we pulled into a parking space at St. Thomas and we rushed through the doors to the pediatric wing of the hospital. We turned a corner and saw Gemma and a few of the guys jax worked with in kuttes that also said Sons of Anarchy, I guess most of the people that worked at Teller auto shop were in this motorcycle club too. It was Bobby, Chibbs and Gemma's husband Clay.

"Hey baby" Gemma said as she ran up to hug Jax

"What happened?"

just then a female doctor appeared and told us the news.

"Her hands and feet were full of tracks. Toxicology reports aren't back ey but its most likely crank"

" and the baby?"

"we had to do an emergency c-section….he was 10 weeks premature, hes got a congential heart defect and gastrosycus, tear in his abodomen, "

I couldn't believe what I just hear. he was ten weeks premature and had a tear in his stomach and a hole in his heart. I couldn't breathe. But I could see that Jax was beyond broken up about it so I grabbed his hand, he looked dead at me.

" It's gonna be okay"

which was clearly the bad move because the Doctor gave me the death stare from hell and told us

"he has a 20 percent chance and I'm afraid that's being optimistic"

That led to Jax leaning down and kissing my head and letting go of my hand and leaving the hospital in a rush. Clay told Bobby to follow him. After the doctors explained what they were doing next for Abel and Wendy they went to go back to work.

Gemma and I sat down in the waiting room to wait for more updates on Jax's son, Abel and also Wendy, which Gemma couldn't really give two shits about right now

"So what is that doctors problem ? is she against people having some hope?"

Gemma scoffed " Most likely, but she probably didn't like you holding Jax's hand. That was Tara, Jax's high school sweetheart. Bitch had him whipped like a dog and then up and left him. Broke his heart. But now shes back. "

I nodded "Oh, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you weren't her biggest fan" Gemma smiled "Wasn't ten years ago and I'm not now, you on the other hand… I like you"

I gave her a small smile

"Well I'm glad, I don't want to be on your shit list "

She laughed, "honey if you were, as you say, on my shit list, trust me we wouldn't be having this conversation"

After a couple hours of waiting I looked at the clock and saw that it was almost 3 clock "Shit"

"What is it ? "

"Uh nothing, I didn't know it was that late I gotta go home and work on my lesson plans for this week, but I dont want to leave you alone"

"Don't worry about it honey, I'll call up Luane and tell her to swing by once shes done at the studio, you go do your work "

"Are you sure?"

Gemma nodded "I'll call you if anything comes up"

I grabbed a piece of paper and pen from my purse and jotted down my number and handed it to Gemma, she grabbed my hand and said

" Thank you for being here with me, and for being with Jax when he got the news. This is some tough shit and you were strong for us, I appreciate that and it wont go unnoticed"

I didn't really understand the last part of what she said but I nodded and said

"Of course Gemma, anytime, call me if you need anything"

"How do you plan on getting home? Jax left on his bike"

Shit I totally forgot.

"I'll walk, its only a few blocks, I could use the exercise"

I walked away and could feel Gemma smiling at me as I walked away.

As I walked out the doors of St. Thomas it was still very sunny outside, s I dug through my purse for my ray bands and thankfully found them. I was just a few blocks from the hospital when I walked by the police station. I was dying of thirst so I figured I'd walk in and see if they could give me a cup of water. I opened the doors to the police station and took of my sunglasses and put them on my head. Wow. This was a small town police station alright. I was walking around trying to find anyone when I heard a voice behind me

" Excuse miss? Can I help you?"

I turned around,

"Uh yeah, can I get a glass of water please? I'm dying out there"

We both laughed

"Yeah it's a hot one out there today, here follow me "

I followed him to what looked like a break room and he went into the fridge and got me a bottle of water . I took it from his hand and looked at his badge

"Thanks so much….officer..Hale! I really appreciate it, you're my guardian angel"

He let out a laugh

"Anything for our newest resident Miss O'Shea"

I chugged the water and swallowed

" Katie and I'm guessing I'm the talk of that town"

He nodded

"Not many people leave a big city like Chicago and move out here, people talk"

"I can see , all good things I hope?"

"So far"

"Well thank you for the water I appreciate it "

As I began to walk out the door he stopped me

" I'm driving you home. Where do you live?"

"That's really not nessacary –"

"I insist, I'm not letting you pass out on my streets of Charming"

I let out a laugh

"Alright if you insist officer"

"David, my names David"

My heart sank but I didn't want him to see that. So I plastered a big smile on my face. "Well David, its nice to meet you"

We both walked out of the station and to his jeep patrol car and I told him my address. I found out he was also in the army like David and that he grew up in Charming all his life. He pulled up to my house

"Well this is me "

He looked at me

"So have you meet any neighbors yet?"

I nodded

"Yeah the older lady across the street and my neighbor jax , their both really nice"

He laughed

"Oh yeah Jax Teller is something alright, be careful around him, will ya?"

I was confused and didn't know what to say

"Why?"

"He's in a dangerous line of work"

"How is he in a dangerous line of work? Hes a mechanic"

He shook his head

"That's not all he is, do you know what the sons of anarchy is ?"

I nodded my head

"Yeah it's a motorcycle club"

this guy looked at me like I was a complete fucking idiot.

"is that what they told you? For your own safety keep a safe distance, I don't want anything to happen to you because of them"

i was outraged

" I'm a big girl I can take care of myself"

I stated as I got out of his jeep and slammed the door shut. I could hear him apologizing but I didn't wanna listen to it. I put my keys in the lock and opened up my front door and then slammed it shut once I entered and threw my purse on the floor and my keys on the table. Who was my neighbor really? What was this Sons of Anarchy? And what I had I just gotten myself into.

It was now almost 7pm and I finally finished my lesson plans for the week. Since it was the first week I didn't want to do too much with my students. My stomach started to rumble when I realized I hadn't eaten much that day, nothing really since breakfast. I was to lazy to cook anything so I went into my purse to get my cell phone to call for a pizza. When I noticed I had a text message from an unknown number "Hey Katie its Gemma, Abel's first surgery went well. Their gonna do the stomach tomorrow. Thank you again for today. I expect you to be at my dinner tomorrow night. Jax will take you" I couldn't help but smile. I was so nervous when I first moved here that I wouldn't have made any friends and would just be miserable by myself but I was surprised. This town felt like home.

It was Sunday. Today Donna and I were having lunch finally. I slept in till around 9:30 and after doing my morning yoga, yes I do morning yoga, I hopped in the shower. I knew we were going to a place called the diner, so I'm guessing it wasn't too fancy but I still didn't know what to wear. Since it was one of the last hot days of the year I decided to wear a dress. I still hadn't unpacked any of my clothes so I grabbed the dress that was on the top of a box. It was a thin strapped baggy little black dress that went just above my knees paired with bronze gladiator sandals. I was going through my jewelry box trying to find some jewelry to wear when I saw it. My engagement ring. I stared at it for what felt like forever and then picked it up and put it on. Then for the first time instead of crying I just stood there. Staring at it. I wasn't sad or happy when I saw it. I was just numb. My concentration was broken when I heard my doorbell ring. I scrambeled

"Just a second"

I quickly flipped over my ring and grabbed a plain gold chain necklace and threw it on. I grabbed my purse , phone and keys and headed towards the door. I opened the door to see Donna smiling. We quickly hugged each other.

"Wow look at this place"

"yeah I'm still not done packing yet, I've been putting it off"

"are you kidding? This place looks incredible!"

I was so happy Donna thought so

"Come on , I'll give you the grand tour after we eat, I'm starving"

the drive to the diner was quick. We talked the entire car ride and didn't stop even when we walked into the diner. It was a cute little place. We sat down at a large booth and looked over the menu. Donna had decided on the cheeseburger with fries and I chose the grilled veggie sandwich with fries. We kept talking even when our food came. We talked about everything. Then we were intertuppted

"Donna. Katie"

we both looked up to see officer David Hale. Donna smiled

"Hey David hows it going?"

I just gave him a half assed smiled

"I'm good I was actually wondering if I could talk to Katie for a second, alone"

"Whatever you want to say to me you can say in front of her"

"No its okay I have to go to the bathroom anyways"

Donna got up from her side of the booth and headed towards the bathroom and David slid in. I continued to eat my fries, not looking up at him.

"Look Katie, I'm sorry for upsetting you yesterday. It wasn't my intention honestly. I've seen people get hurt by SAMCRO for years and I didn't want you to be the next victim"

I dropped my fry and stared at him

"You don't know shit about me cause if you did you would know I'm not a victim. I can take care of myself. And as for SAMCRO they've been nothing but nice tome since I got here. Unlike some other people"

he swallowed hard

"I'm sorry for coming off that way. I just don't want to see you get hurt. And I know Donna doesn't either. If you don't want to listen to me listen to her. But if you ever feel unsafe or scared please don't hesitate to call"

he said as he dug into his pocket and pulled out his card. At first I hesitated to grab it and then I did and put it in my purse. Just then donna came back and David stood up.

"Lunch is on me ladies"

we both said thank you and David left . Donna sat back down.

"What was that about?"

I sighed

"He was warning me about SAMCRO again, he said if I didn't listen to him I should listen to you, Donna what is going on "

Donna sighed and told me the truth. That Opie went to jail for five years because of SAMCRO. She didn't give details but I could tell she was fighting back tears. I sighed and closed my eyes.

"Donna I'm so sorry"

Donna was honest with me so I knew I had to be with her.

"I wasn't completely honest about why I'm in Charming"

"What? What are you talking about?"

I looked down at my hand and flipped over my ring and held my hand in the air and gave a small smile

"My fiancé and I were suppose to move here together"

Donna smiled

"Oh my gosh your engaged!? Congratualtions… my wait where is he?"

I sighed and looked down.

"He died. He's dead. He died in Iraq about 6 months ago."

Donna's smiled completely faded.

"Katie I am so sorry"

"It's okay, David would want me to move on and be happy. He would've loved to meet you though."

Donna smiled

"I would too"

"Donna no one else knows you cant tell anyone, promise me?"

"She reached across the table and grabbed my hands.

"no one will know about this until you tell them yourself"

I smiled

"Thank you"

After we finished eating Donna dropped me off at my house, I told her I was thinking of throwing a bbq or house warming party sometime next week and she said shed bring Opie and the kids.

After lunch I decided to go for a run. I was running around town when I tripped and fell flat on my face. Everything was so sore when I stood up. My face was cut and was deffienatly going to have a bruise there and on my legs and arms. I was covered in dirt too. I looked up and noticed I was just a block away from TM. I knew they had showers in the guys dorm rooms so I was praying someone was there so I could take a quick shower. I started to run but it hurt too much so I just walked. I walked into TM and first saw Chibbs and Juice working on a car who automatically looked at me and then did a double take and ran towards me. Juice running faster ran up to me and grabbed my face "Katie are you oaky? What happened? Who did this?"

I blushed I was so embarrassed

"I did"

"Whats that lassie?"

"I fell about a block away , I was wondering if I could use a shower and then maybe get a ride home please?"

They both nodded

"Of course Katie, use any one you want, Jax's has the best water pressure though"

I nodded

"Thank you guys so much , which one is it?"

"Second door on the right"

"Thanks "

and I slowly walked towards the club house. I walked into the club house which first wreaked of something dead and foul and saw a wall of pictures of all the guys and wanted to keep looking but I just wanted the shower. I saw Jax's door and turned the handle and walked in and was completely caught off guard. I walked in on Jax giving it to some blonde girl.

"Oh my god"

I screamed as I covered my eyes and I turned around to leave and I walked face first into the door.

"I'm sorry"

and I finally found my way out and ran away. I could her Jax and the girl talking

" Who the hell was that ?!"

"Shit Katie wait!"

I was outside the club house when I saw Juice looking confused

"I don't think you did a very good job on the shower"

I was flustered

"Yeah I just realized I need my shampoo and stuff so I'm just gonna go home now , can you take me now? Please? Now?"

he laughed

"yeah sure we'll take the truck"

we both walked over to the truck and in the rearview mirror I could see Jax shirtless in just jeans looking at me and the talking to Chibbs.

"So is there a reason you wanted out so fast?"

I looked at him

"I walked in on Jax…"

Juice just kept looking at me

"You walked in on Jax doing what,….?"

I said very quietly

"banging some blonde slut"

"What was that I couldn't hear you?"

I laughed and hit him

"I walked in on him banging some slut!"

he laughed

"well that wouldn't be the first time that's happened and it most likely wont be your last"

"Ugh it was so embarrassing"

he was confused

"what could be embarrassing about you walking in on him having sex?"

"I walked into the door"

Juice lost it

"Yeah that could do it"

we pulled up to my house

"do you want me to come in? just to make sure your fine and all…"

I smiled.

"Yeah I'd like that, but were not taking a shower together"

he laughed and then I quietly whispered under my breathe

"yet"

we both got out of the car and walked up to my house , I let him in first and then I quietly closed the door. Things were about to get interesting.
