Thanks to my beta MelanthiaChase.

I don't own Milla or Chantal,they belong to MelanthiaChase. I only own Gillian and her dog.


Kozik's POV

After my little screw up, I was very careful not to touch Gillian. It was the hardest thing I'd ever done. I mean, we were trapped in a Cage; a very tiny space. Someone upstairs must be laughing at me. Still, it didn't take too long before both of us were comfortable again. Actually, the mood quickly changed after I sat on the driver's side.

"Took you long enough. What were you doing, slashing my other tires?" She was joking, of course, but that didn't stop me from sweating from jitters. She didn't suspect anything. Did she?

"Yeah, right. Like I could ever do that to a beautiful girl like you." This time, she was the one who bumped our shoulders and I was instantly at ease again. God, how did I ever survive all this time without this woman?

"Oh please, Don Blond Juan. I know you couldn't do that." I should feel bad, but her smile is just too distracting for me to feel miserable about something that allowed me to be sit beside her. It was just too good to be true. And besides, she called me Don Juan. That's gotta count for something, right?

We spent very little time enjoying the comfortable silence with classic rock on in the background. But it seemed that neither of us wanted to silence to last. At least that's what I think. So, when I started to talk about movies, she jumped right into the conversation.

"Terminator? Really?" She shook her head, as if she didn't believe in me. I was a big fan of the film, only the first one.

"What? The directors have the tendency to ruin their work with sequels. You don't believe me?" We started a heated argument about classic movies and I could honestly say I was getting my ass kicked by her, and I loved it.

"What about Big Trouble in Little China? Now that's a good action film." It was one of my favorite films too, but I wasn't going to let her win this easily. I wouldn't back from a fight, even if that person is the object of my affections. "It is! Don't tell me you've never see it?"

The way she scrunched her eyebrows was so cute, I had to laugh

"What, never had a girl talking about action movies before?"She asked, the cute look still on her face.

"Well, it's not something I'm used to. Unless you're Milla, of course. I swear that girl watches nothing but horror and action movies." Then, to prove her point she gave me a full list of action movies. From John Wayne to Jackie Chan. I have to say that I was impressed. And, unlike most women, she wasn't speaking of the movie just because "the actor is cute", like I hear most of the time. She paid attention to every detail. Just my kind of woman.

When we started to compare films, I thought she wasn't going to respond. Being a personal question and all, but I guess she was so deep on our talk that she started, that or she didn't care what she answered.

"I bet you're a fan of The Lost Boys" I said, not sure if she was going to keep talking or not. It was a bold move, but I had to do it.

"And how do you know that?" To my unbelievable luck, she did talk, and we both had huge smiles on our faces.

"You just look like a fan of the film" She didn't seem like she believed me, so I continue "That, and the fact that you have a dog named after the dog from the film"

Yeah, I noticed that. So, what?

"Do you remember that?" Oh my God, she blushed! I thought I couldn't do that to her! YES! "What can I say? They don't make classics like that anymore"

She was right. Last night I spent the evening with Opie's kids since Milla wanted to watch the kids for the night and they were watching some weird, dumb movie about talking babies. Besides being awful in every aspect that I can think of the way they moved those babies mouths was very creepy.

"Besides, they're called classics for a reason. Like The Crow. It's my favorite." WHAT? No way man, I just hit the jackpot! She must've noticed my dumbstruck face, because my mouth was gaping.

"Are you serious? It's my favorite movie too." She didn't believe me, or pretend that she didn't. So I started to quote movie lines that convinced her.

"It can't rain all the time" We said together, and just like that, our smiles were back.


"Come on; give me the directions so I can drop you at your house. You can pick up your car tomorrow at my place." I was grinning like the Cheshire cat, and I couldn't care less about it.

After our declared movie battle was over, I found her place. It looked like a nice, neat house. Definitely not a biker's house, well a single biker. I wonder if she'll let me in.

"Safe and sound." I noticed that she was fidgeting a lot with her keys and my voice startled her.

"Yes, thank you!" She said a little too quickly for my taste, but recovered before I could say anything. "I'll drop by the garage tomorrow then."

I made my best lost puppy eye, practically begging let me in, but she wasn't buying it.

"The house is a mess right now. I can't have any visitors until I clean the whole thing." Understandable, not like I cared; she could live inside a mountain and I'd still think it's a castle, but still.

"Of course" I didn't say anything, delaying her the best I could. She seemed to be thinking the same, but when she was going to say something, a loud bark from inside startled us.

"Well, my roomie is calling me" She jumped off, not giving me time to open the door for her "Thank you Kozik. I'll be there tomorrow"

When she flashed a bright smile, I was pretty sure that when I started to drool. Damn

I can't wait for tomorrow.


"Man, you've got it bad." Chantal told me before she left the house that morning to go to work. Ok, so I didn't get much sleep last night. So what? That's completely normal. And so what if I happen to talk a little about her when Lyla and Ellie asked me at dinner last night, I might have said more than I was supposed to. But, what's the problem? It's not like they'll use that against me. My thoughts were disturbed when I saw a cab stop by and Gillian get out. I should've told her that I was going to pick her up, but Gemma threatened me to go pick another car early in the morning. And the Queen still scares me.

God, how can she be so beautiful without even trying? The way the she moves, talks and smile is never like I've ever seen. Maybe Chantal is right, I've got it bad.

"Gillian, hi!" I'm always that chipper in the morning, so nothing suspicious there.

"Morning Koz. Is everything alright?" Was she worried about me or her car? I guess I'll never know because my speaking ability seems to malfunction when she's around.

"Yeah, yeah. You can go right ahead. I'll just check on something in the garage and I'll meet you inside." She nodded as I watched her walking to get the papers. I'm not the most organized person, so I'm pretty sure Milla knows where they are. I wasn't aware of my surroundings, but when I heard a whistle beside me, I was in my full bad ass mode.

"Man, who's the chick? Look at her, she's got legs that go all the wa…"Miles, the soon to be ex-prospect didn't have a chance to finish as I punched his face. "What the hell man?" His nose was bleeding, good.

"You don't ever, ever, look at her or talk about her like that. Do you understand me prospect?" I grabbed his cut, when Phil went to intervene; one look was enough for him to back off. "I may be a nice guy, but if you, Phil or anybody else try to be funny like that, I will kill you"

Good thing he understood that I was serious .I've never been more serious on killing someone before. I let him go as Phil pick up the messy, bloody prospect.

"Sorry Kozik, we didn't know it was your nurse" Phil wasn't even looking at me. I knew I was probably fuming with anger, at least these two got the point. No one messes with my nurse. No one.


Gillian's POV

Ok, my car broke and I probably was supposed to be mad at this whole situation. But, I'm not. Lucky for me, Kozik found me and took me to the garage, where he said he can fix my tires in no time. So really, this was lucky situation. And besides, he's a nice guy to hang out.

I rang the doorbell of the place and, to my surprise; I face the now familiar Mrs. Milla Ortiz.

"Milla? You live here?" I've always heard stories about small towns, but this was too much. Talk about coincidence!

"Yeah, have for a while." What would she think of me, coming here with Kozik? That's not an impression I wanted to cause. "What can I help you with Gillian?"

She was rubbing her belly affectionately and I could only wonder how great a mom she'll be when her daughter is born.

"Umm, it's about my car. Koz said I could pick up some paperwork here since I couldn't make it to the garage." Great, now I'm blushing like a teenager only to say his name! Seriously, what's wrong with me? I just hope Milla didn't notice.

"Come in, I'll check for the paperwork." I followed her to the living room ""Sit down; I'll be with you once I find it."

I made myself comfortable while she went to get the papers that Koz said I needed it. Seriously, it was extremely lucky for me to have found him. What were the odds for me to find a mechanic that just happened to be passing by with his truck? If I didn't knew better, I'd say that was suspicious, even. I took a better look at my surroundings and noticed a huge flatscreen in an entertainment system with several game systems spread out around it with games and what looked like movies filling the shelves. Somebody liked to play, a lot, if you ask me. Complete nerd system. I liked it.

"I found it." She said as she came back to me and handed me a folder. I thanked her, but couldn't take my eyes of the entertainment center.

"Thanks. Do you use all that stuff?" I wasn't a complete geek, but technology always interested me.

"I don't but the kids are here all the time and Koz likes to play on the Xbox and have Mario Kart tournaments with Chantal. I can't really participate with this." And why wasn't I surprised? I saw her arm and nodded. It wasn't easy to be on her situation.

"I'm being a terrible hostess, would you like something to drink?" the last thing I wanted was to be inconvenient. Milla was already kind enough being a good host.

"Don't put yourself to any trouble on my account." But she wasn't having any of that. I realized that when Milla wanted something, she got it.

"No problem, the kitchen's just through that door. We have bottled water, different kinds of soda, orange, apple and grape juice and of course brews. Anything sound good?"

Of course I didn't want her to do anything that required physical exercise, but the look on her face was that someone who wasn't going to take no for an answer.

"I guess I'll have some water." I said, smiling, as she went to pick my drink.

I heard a bike pull in and waited for Milla to come back. Of course you'd hear a vehicle sound from time to time, so I look around, waiting for her. It was a very organized place ,pretty nice little two story with cracked mortar and yellow paint peeling from the walls with an ugly blue trim, neat, with a few pictures and lots of papers and technology. Whoever set it up must've spent a long time organizing everything. I didn't touch anything, I'm not that curious, but it was nice to look at such a homey environment.

A few minutes later, an adorable little girl, with a nasty purple eye came in. She was fuming, but got calmer when she noticed me.

"Hello" I smiled at her, and she seemed more at ease. This kid looks like she was ready to jump at anyone that tried to cross her. Good, I liked that.

"I'm Ellie Winston, Opie's daughter" She held her hand like a grown up. She wanted to be treated as an equal or she was scared to show herself at me. I didn't know who Opie was but I shook her hand. Koz and Tara had mentioned an Opie before so I guessed he was part of the club.

"It's nice to meet you Miss Winston. I'm Gillian Smith, nurse at Saint Thomas. It's a pleasure" She realized that I wasn't going to scold her like some brat, so she decided to give me a vote of trust. Soon enough, she was babbling like a girl from her age when I mentioned the twins from The Suit Life of Zack and Cody.

"Do you watch it too? It's so cool! What about that episode when…"I only agreed and chimed in occasionally. She was ready to tell me everything, and maybe that's what she needed, someone to listen to her. But, quicker than I thought, she changed the focus of her conversation.

"Gillian, nurse at Saint Thomas. Hey, wait a minute! Are you the one who Uncle Koz is always talking about?" I froze on the spot. What?

"Are you gonna marry Uncle Koz?"How old is Ellie? And why was she asking me this? I couldn't form a sentence because my vocal chords weren't working.

"Umm, ah I. don't..." It was the only thing I could come up with. Surely she was confusing names.

"If you don't that's ok. Aunt Milla didn't marry Uncle Juice for a long time and Uncle Bobby hasn't married any of his girlfriends. You should have a baby though, they're fun and Espy and Abel are gonna need friends who understand this life. I'm Espy's Auntie, it's my job to make sure she's happy and I know she'd like any kids that you had. Don't have a boy though; they don't know how to be anything other than asses." Ellie seemed like a caring girl, worried about her friends and family. But she didn't know what she was talking about when she referred to me.

"Elizabeth Marianne Winston, language." Only now I realized that Milla was back. Thank God! I don't think my face could be redder. Where was Kozik, anyway?

"It's true, they are!" Forget that, I was redder now. "If you want a baby, just have sex. It's the only way to do it. That stork stuff is bullshit." Dear Lord…

"Ellie! That's enough! Watch your language. You don't talk like this in school do you?" I love kids! I was used to them. But, there are times like this that they really can get to you.

"No I don't. Grampa says that there's a time and a place for bad language and school isn't the time or the place. Lyla doesn't mind if I swear." I'm in no place to say anything, but what kind of education her parents give her?

"Well I do, why don't you go to the nursery and check out the new rocking chair Uncle Koz picked up?" She nodded, and left, but not before winked at me from the door. She mouthed I'll see you later and then left. Damn, I liked this girl.

"Sorry about that she's normally a really good kid but things have been tough for her lately." I didn't know why Milla was apologizing for. She was a kid, things like that happen. Even when I'm redder than a tomato, still. My only concern was her eye.

"What happened to her eye?"

"She got in a fight with a boy at school. I didn't get into all the reasons or the punishments but she's fine." Point taken. But, to me, she wasn't doing anything much. She's a kid! Things like that happen.

"You ok?" I noticed that she was uncomfortable. So I did one of the things I do best: Take care of my patient.

"That better?" I massaged her neck for a while, until I was sure that the pressure was lower.

"Yeah, that's fabulous." I'm glad I could ease her pain a little. But I also know when I can be inconvenient and little Ellie was waiting for her, so my time was now.

"I should be going. I have to get to my insurance company with this, and then enjoy the rest of the time off that I have today. Thanks for the water .Tell Ellie it was wonderful to meet her. And please, don't fight with her too much just because she got into a fight with a boy. I'm sure there was a reason for it. She was just defending herself." I know it wasn't my place, but I felt like I should say something on Ellie's favor. Who wouldn't have?

In a flash, I felt someone grab my arm, and I flinched a little, not realizing it was Milla

"Wait. I have to ask you something. Have you ever done freelance work?" ok, that's not something I hear everyday.

"What?" I'm sure there are lots of more experience nurses here, so why was she asking me?

"My fill-in nurse just abandoned me this morning and I need someone to fill in odd spots in the schedule." What kind of ethic professional was her nurse? I can't think of one reason to why someone would want to ditch a nice woman like Milla Ortiz.

"I don't know, I just started at St. Thomas and am trying to find a place for myself here. Taking on an extra job may be too much." I didn't want to sound indelicate or anything. But it was true. I had my doubts if I could handle a situation like this. Maybe I could find someone for her at the hospital.

"Just think about it. It would just be a few hours a week, sitting with me, making sure I don't over exert myself. Just stuff like that. Besides it would be nice to have a female presence around here. Koz can be a bit overwhelming." Of course I'll think about it. Milla is a good person, and she deserves the best care in the world.

"I'll think about it. Thanks for the water." I was going to start my research. Anything to help Milla. When I got out, Kozik was waiting for me, with my car and new tires.

"You're a life savior!" I grinned and his smile was bigger than mine and I almost hugged him, but from the garage, a man with a bleeding nose got out "Oh my God, is he ok?"

I went to his direction, but Kozik blocked me.

"Yeah, yeah, he's fine. He just had a run with a shelf that's all. Heavy things in this garage" Suddenly, the man that now noticed my presence, literally ran inside. Was he ok?

"Still, he needs to be taken care of Koz. I'm a nurse, so you can't stop me from doing my job" I never backed down from a job, and a big, bad, biker going to stop me now.

I went inside the clubhouse, with Kozik following me. The place was blasting the same rock music from his car and smelled like beer. But there were only two men inside; one tall with glasses that was holding a dirty cloth on the other man's nose.

"Are you ok?" I asked as I started to work on his face. He had a pretty busted nose, luckily he wouldn't need stitches. But both of them seemed to be frightened when I asked how he got it.

"It was just an accident. That's all" the tall guy told me, He seemed that he wasn't so scared, but the other one was shaking like a leaf.

"Well, ok you're good now. Lucky for you, you won't need stitches. Just try to get some rest and you'll be good in no time"

"Yeah, lucky for you" When I turned, I saw Kozik practically shooting daggers with his eyes at him. What was that about?

"Everything alright, Koz?" His glared vanished when he looked at me "Yeah, sorry Gillian. I'm just wondering how these boys mange to get in situations like that"

He glared one last time to the injured biker, when I waved at him and he followed to my car.

"Alright mister MacGyver .How much do I owe you?" He made a face, like I was speaking Greek, but quickly recovered. He started to say that he couldn't charge from me, but he saw that he wasn't going to win this argument, so we made a deal that would benefit us both.

"A movie night choice?" I asked when he nodded. The deal was that every week one of us would pick a movie and decided which one was better. The looser would have to pay a determinate part. Fair enough. I knew I was going to win.

"Besides, that way I get to see you more often" I blushed…wait, what? But I quickly recovered.

"You never know Koz. Besides, I'll probably be here so much from now on that you'll be sick of me." His eyes lit up like a kid on Christmas day.

"What do you mean?" Should I tell him? I don't think he'll mention anything to Milla.

"Let's just say that Mrs. Ortiz offered me a job as her personal nurse. The last one just bailed her for no reason" He cringed. Maybe, they were friends "And I'm thinking I might possibly say yes."

His next act caught me unprepared. He hugged me so tight that I thought my bones were about to break. And to my surprise, I didn't mind. "I said I'll think about it. But, it's a secret, I don't have anything concrete , don't tell Milla, ok?" He nodded and started to babble a lot of things that I couldn't comprehend. Maybe he was happy for Milla to have another nurse. The last one must really screw up.

After we said our goodbyes, I was already on my car, when I remembered something.

"Hey Koz, why did Ellie say you always talk about me?" He looked like he just saw a ghost. I swear, I never saw a man get so pale so fast

"Whaaaaaaaat? I don't know what you're talking about. You know how kids are." I just nodded and took off. He was right.

Kids, sometimes they don't know what they're saying.


"Honey, I'm home!" I was greeted with saliva, as always, as my roomie went straight to get his stuffed animal. So much for a warm welcome. After I settle my things and decided to clean everything for my day tomorrow. I didn't have time yesterday, or the day before. My day off literally meant that I got to do nothing. So, two days later, I gathered my patience and cleaned my stuff. I started think about Milla's proposal. It was true that I never did freelance work before, but one of the requirements for this job is to be patient and to know what you're doing. I'm good at both of those! And, I love kids! So, I'd take it. I just couldn't tell her now because it's already too late and she's probably sleeping.

After this matter was solved, I decided to start my own movie list. I mean, I knew I was going to win from Kozik. The man had good taste in films, but it's a little obvious to who had a better understanding of the classics. It was only then that I noticed that my agenda was missing.

I searched every corner of my house! This meant I'd probably have to clean the whole thing again later, but I still didn't find it. Where could it be? I wrote on it today, right on the nurse's room…

Oh yeah.

The hospital. I swear, sometimes I'm so clueless! I had to get it back. I had tons of information's there and my memory isn't the best when it comes to important dates, so I really need it.

"Stay right there buddy. Don't go partying all night. I'll just go pick up my agenda." Nanook didn't move, he only realizes I'm being serious when I give him food.


The hospital at night isn't much different in the morning. Only this time, people are sleepy and grumpier than ever. Can't say I blame then. I found my agenda in the lost and found section. It didn't have anything important, but I'd feel better if I knew that no one read it. I'm a very private person. I turned around the corner and saw a group of men wearing the familiar cuts along with several girls.

"What happened?" I wasn't concerned if I was being nosey or not. If they were here at this hour, something was wrong.

"It's Milla, she's going to have her baby" Koz's face was somewhat proud and afraid. The baby wasn't supposed to be here now. It wasn't her time yet. But, things like that happen. So, I decided to do the right thing for everyone, just as one of the nosey nurses walked by.

"And where do you think you're going Nurse Smith?" I put my things aside and went to get a spare set of scrubs. I guess the staff wasn't too happy about having competent nurses. Well, tough.

"I'm going to help my friend." From the corner of my eye, I saw the MC group paying attention to our exchange, but the only one that caught my attention was Kozik.
