Thank you all so much for the comments. I'm glad you are enjoying it!!
Brie stared at Clay her mouth open, obvious shock on her face. Clay moved towards her, he wanted to know who was in his club house and who had shot at Chibs.
"Lauren?" Clay asked feeling like he was seeing a ghost; he knew that the woman he thought he saw was dead.
"Did you know my mother?" Brie asked moving closer to Chibs, feeling a gut fear of Clay. Something about him set her on edge. Jax watched as Brie edged further from Clay, he moved towards her wanting to protect her from Clay.
"I knew her; the question is why you are here?" Clay asked. Lauren's kid would come and cause problems. He knew the bitch had been pregnant, and that he had slept with her in the right time frame.
"She came looking for me, Clay." Chibs spoke up, feeling the tension that Brie was feeling. "Let's go love. I need to know the truth." Brie nodded taking his hand letting him lead her out of the group of men. Jax followed behind them. Chibs nodded to Jax, he got on his motorcycle, Jax doing the same.
Jax led them into the hospital followed by Brie and Chibs. "You okay?" Brie asked Chibs, knowing he had to be in pain.
"I'll be okay, I've had worse." Chibs told her trying to ease the worry he saw on her face. "Where did you learn to do that?"
Brie studied him for a minute before answering. "My life has been." She paused trying to find the right word. "Rocky."
"You are going to have to explain that." Jax said turning around now that they have reached the counter. "Please page Dr. Knowles." The nurse smiled at Jax picking up the phone. He turned back to Brie and winked at her. "Really I want to know, you stitched up as well as the doc could."
"Then why do you need me?" Tara asked having come up behind them.
"He does, he's just being nice." Brie answered, shooting Jax a glare, she knew this woman already didn't like her.
"Hey babe, we need to take a blood test." Jax said putting his arm around Tara. "For what?" She demanded pulling away from Jax.
"Do you have an office, or someplace we can talk in private?" Brie asked looking around, there was a man standing off to the side, watching them with interest, a phone pressed to his ear. Tara nodded leading them away. When the door closed behind the group of the room Brie wasted no time, and no details. "We need you to draw blood for a test."
"Why do you need a blood test?" Tara asked she needed to know.
"I know you don't know me or trust me so please, just get me your standard phlebotomist kit preferably with vacutainer needles. I can take samples myself then take them to the lab." Brie told her, something about the way Tara was watching her, put her on edge.
"You can't, you don't' work here." Tara replied she would find out the truth.
"I actually do. I'm supposed to start tomorrow." Brie gave Tara a tight smile.
"I didn't know we hired a new phlebotomist." Tara said, thinking she was better than the redhead.
"I'll be working as an RN. If you won't go get the kit, fine I will go find my supervisor and get it myself." Brie said exasperated with Tara's attitude. She started to walk to the door when Tara stopped her.
"Fine I'll get it for you. But you will still need a doctor's order to take it to the lab." Tara said as a parting shot as she walked out of the room. Brie's eyes flashed with anger.
"Fucking snobby bitch!" The words tumbled out of Brie's mouth. Her eyes snapped to Jax, knowing he was with Tara. He shrugged and sat in the empty chair. She blew out a slow breath, trying to calm herself down. "I'm put myself through med school while I was a nurse, when I wanted to come here; I knew that they would ask more questions about a doctor than they would a nurse."
"Smart thinking love." Chibs spoke up. Brie turned and smiled at him, moving to his side.
"Thanks." Tara walked back in sitting the tray on the exam table.
"Here, I have real work to do." Brie rolled her eyes at Tara's snide comment. "I'll see you at home baby." Brie heard her kiss Jax. She worked quickly and efficiently, drawing the vial of blood from Chibs. She sat in the open chair, knowing both men were watching as she drew her own.
"Your woman needs an attitude adjustment." Jax just nodded at Brie's quiet comment.
"Now what do we do?" Chibs asked standing up.
"Now we will take this to the lab for a paternity test. We should know in a couple hours." Brie smiled filling out the required information.
"And while we wait you can explain why you are carrying a colt." Chibs supplied.
"And why you don't want anyone asking questions. You can trust us." Jax added. Brie looked between the two men. She wanted the test to confirm what she already knew that, Chibs Telford was her father. Maybe then she could tell him how her mother at really died, he had been so upset, so intent on getting revenge for some mysterious wrong doing.
"Okay." She answered simply, knowing that she was still in danger if they didn't believe her. After all if Chibs wasn't her father, why would they believe anything else she said, and the bomb that Clay had killed her mother, would just ensure her own death. Brie smiled at the two men she already felt connected to, hoping she was right in trusting that she was safe with them.
