As soon as Jax entered the St. Thomas's hospital he looked for his Mom. As soon as he spotted her he walked quickly over to her. "How is she?"

Gemma closed her eyes and sighed and then she opened them back up and looked Jax in the eyes. "She lost a lot of blood but she's fighting. As soon as they know something a Nurse or a Doctor will come out."

Jax sighed and rubbed a hand down his face. He couldn't believe that this was happening. He couldn't believe that the guy had actually thought he would get away with stabbing Brianna in front of him. He knew that as soon as he knew that Brianna was going to make it that he was heading to the club house and he was going to take care of the mother fucking bastard who had stabbed her. "Did she regain consciousness at all in the ambulance?"

Gemma shook her head. "No Jax she didn't."

Jax groaned and before he even realized what he was doing he reared his right fist back and slammed it into the wall. If Brianna didn't make it there was nothing on this Earth that could or would stop him from making sure the bastard who stabbed her paid with his life but he would make sure that it was a slow and torturous death.

When he felt a hand on his shoulder he turned his head and saw Tig. "What do you want Tig?"

Tig just shook his head. "Jax I've known Brianna for a while and she's a fighter. You just have to trust me that she will make it through this. She has lived with a man who beat the shit out of her for years. She'll make it through this and when she does you'll be there by her side helping her. I will tell you though that if you ever hurt her I will not hesitate in killing you."

Jax nodded. "I could tell that she was a fighter. I talked to her for a few minutes after she was stabbed. She promised me that she would keep fighting and that she wouldn't give up. I just don't understand Tig. I just met her today and I already feel protective of her. I want to kill the man who hurt her and I want to get my hands on her fucking slimy ass father and teach him a lesson."

Tig laughed at that and nodded. "You'll get your chance Jax. For now you just need to calm down. I'm as pissed as you but I know that hitting something or someone right now isn't going to help Brianna. She needs us to be calm and she needs us to be strong. She's going to need you, Happy and me when she makes it through this. As for already feeling protective over hear already Jax join the club. When I met Brianna for the first time within thirty seconds I was protective of her. I'll help you kill the mother fucker who put her in this hospital as will Happy. But as you always say Jax we have to play it safe. Are you going to be strong for Brianna like she needs you to be Jax?"

Jax groaned as his own words were thrown back in his face. He knew that what Tig was saying was the truth but it didn't mean that he had to like it. He wanted to make the mother fucker pay for daring to hurt Brianna and he wanted to make him pay now but he knew that they would have to come up with a plan and take a vote on it. Although he was pretty damn sure that the vote was going to be uninamous in making the fucking bastard pay. He could and he would hold off until then. What he couldn't do was wait around much long to hear news about how Brianna was doing because it was hurting him to not be by her side. "Yes I'm going to be strong for Brianna. I don't know what it is about her but I started falling for her the second I laid eyes on her. I know that she is young and from what you and Happy have both said I know that she's been through a lot. I want to be able to help her through everything. I want to be her friend but I'm not going to lie to you Tig eventually I want her to be my woman."

Tig laughed and then smirked. "If I thought for one minute that you were just going to use her and then leave her Jax I'd cut your dick off. Hell if Happy or I thought for one second that your intentions towards Bri wasn't honorable we would both kill you. I know that I'm not one to talk but Brianna is different than any girl or woman you know. She doesn't deserved to get used and passed around from one Son to the next. However what she does deserve is a guy who will treat her right and be there for her no matter what. If any girl or woman deserves to have a Son as her old man it is Brianna. Now if you ever tell anyone I said that I will deny it and I will kick your ass from here to hell and then back again. Are we clear?"

Jax nodded and gave Tig a smirk of his own. "We're clear Tig but just so you know. When I make her mine and notice how I said when I make her mine not if I make her mine you and Happy will let me be the one to protect her first and foremost. You two are more than welcome to help but I get first crack at any fucker who dares to mess with her."

Tig nodded. "I think we can agree to that as long as you agree that if you hurt her in any way, shape or form Happy and I get to kick your ass even if you didn't mean to hurt her."

Jax nodded. "Agreed."

Both Jax and Tig stared at one another for a minute and then slapped each other on the back.
