(Jax POV)
I held my wife in my arms. She was naked but wrapped in a blanket. I could tell she was bruised and something else had happened. I wasn't going to press her for information. We had gotten revenge against the Mayans. I leaned down and kissed my wife's forehead. Her eyes began to close. I was worried about her. She put a hand on my face.
"I love you Jackson Nathaniel Teller." She said.
"I love you too Juliet Marie Teller." I said, "Stay with me babe, stay awake."
"I'm so tired Jax."
"Come on babe, it's only a little farther. Please stay awake for me."
Her eyes began to close again. I gently shook her. Her eyes flew back open then slowly closed as she passed out. I looked at Bobby.
"Step on it." I said.
He put the pedal down and drove faster. We got her to the hospital and they started working on her. I paced the waiting room floor. Clay called Gemma to let her know that we had Julie but she was going to be in the hospital for a while. Bobby watched me for a minute. I looked at Opie. He was sitting in a chair with his head in his hands. I realized just how much Julie was family to all of these guys. They had accepted her a lot better than they had ever accepted Tara. I kept pacing until the doctor came in to give us an update on her condition.
"Mr. Teller, perhaps we should have this conversation away from the others." He said.
"No, they are her family too." I said.
"Mr. Teller, your wife was raped. We have given her the plan B contraceptive but there is no guarantee that it will work. She has lost a lot of blood and we had to give her a transfusion. Now we play the waiting game. It may be awhile before she wakes up."
I stood there trying to take in what the doctor was telling me. I knew that I should let it sink in but it hurt too much. I didn't want to hear what he had to say. I just wanted my wife to be all right. Clay grabbed me before I tried to leave the room. He shook his head.
"We deal with this as a family, Jax." He said.
I stared at him, trying to make sense of what he was saying to me. I just wanted to get to my wife and be by her side. I didn't care what they decided to do.
"Can I see her?" I asked.
"We have her sedated now but yes you can go see her. Two at a time," the doctor said.
I nodded. We walked back to her room. Clay looked at me.
"Now is not the time to fall apart Jackson," he said.
"Are you kidding me right now?" I asked, "Is that your wife lying there in the hospital bed beaten damn near within an inch of her life? No, I didn't think so. Please don't try to tell me what I need to do in this situation because you have never been in my situation."
I walked away from him and went to my wife's side. She looked like Abel had when he was first born and was in the incubator. I felt the same way I had then, completely helpless. There was nothing that I could do to make it better. The boys crossed my mind and I didn't know what to tell them. I just hoped that I wasn't going to have to tell Abel that another mommy was gone. He had already lost two of them.
(Julie's POV)
I woke up to a hand in mine and a head next to my arm. I had to blink a few times to focus my vision before I could look down that person next to me. It was my husband passed out in a chair with his head on the bed. I gently squeezed his hand causing him to bolt upright. He stared at me like I had just grown a second head before a smile appeared on his face.
"I thought I lost you for a minute there," he said.
"You almost did." I replied.
"Never in a million years will I lose you."
"I love you Jax."
"I love you more."
"You wish babe."
He leaned down to kiss me. I was surprised myself when I jumped and pulled back. He looked at me funny. I shook my head and the tears ran down my face.
"I'm sorry, I'm just scared still I guess. I can still feel them on me." I said.
"Baby, they will never hurt you or the boys again. I don't care if I have to put you under lock and key." He said.
I rolled my eyes. He was slower the second time he moved in to kiss me. I tried to let myself drown in his kiss but the second I closed my eyes, there was a Mayan member on me. It scared me and caused me to jump. He sighed.
"I'm sorry Jax." I said.
"It's all right baby, you just need time," he said.
I nodded. He sighed.
