She was only out for a few minutes, her eyes fluttered open, she was staring into Filip's warm brown eyes, she was being cradled in his arms, against his chest. "I'm fine, just get me inside."
"I'm taking you to the hospital, to be checked out!" Slowly sitting up, she cupped his face.
"I promise you, I'm fine. Help me up." His arm was on her waist, he lifted her off the ground, she looked around to see several concerned faces staring at her. "I'm fine guys, it's going to take more then a little explosion to put me down."
"Come on love, you're going to lay down and rest!" With his arm tightly wrapped around her waist, he guided her to his dorm room. He sat her on the bed, pulling the bandage off her forehead, he gently cleaned the wound, then put a clean dressing on. She cupped his face, looking into his eyes.
"I'm okay, nothing seriously hurt." She leaned forward kissing him.
"My beautiful love, when I saw the explosion, I thought i might have lost you. I'm thankful Opie was close enough to shelter you."
'You can't get rid of me that easily, I'm a Trager!" He kissed her, pulling her to him.
"I'd never want to be rid of you! Don't ever think that!"
"Filip, what's wrong?"
Nothing, lay back and rest." She laid back in his bed, he crawled into bed with her, pulling her into his arms. She laid her head on his chest, enjoying listening to the sound of his heart beat, she dozed off to sleep.

She woke up to Chibs thrashing around in the bed, she put her hand on his chest. "Filip."
"Don't touch her, you bastard." He backhanded her across the face, she went flying out of the bed, and crashed against the wall. She was slouched next to the wall when the door flew open, and Juice came running in, helping her up. Chibs sat up, glaring at Juice. "What the hell are you doing in my room Juicey!"
"Juice, would you get me a couple of ice packs, please?"
"Sure , Lizzie."
Hearing her voice, Chips sat up, seeing the res hand print on her face. "Jesus...Lizzie..." He came forward sitting her on the bed. "I'm so sorry, please..forgive me...I'd never lay hands on you!"
"It's okay, you were having a nightmare, I shouldn't have tried to wake you." Juice came back in with the ice packs, she placed on on the side of her face and the other on the back of her head, Chibs took the one for the back of her head, and held it in place. She could see the tears in his eyes. "Hey, it was an accident, I know you'd never lay hands on me Filip." She dropped the ice pack from the side of her face, leaning in to kiss him.
"My beautiful Lizzie, you've got such a wonderful heart."
"Come on baby, let's go back to sleep." She settled in his arms, resting her head on his chest, drifting off to sleep.

She woke up at five in the morning, crawling from the bed, she went to the bathroom to get ready for work. He was sleeping do peacefully she didn't want to disturb him. She had to apply some make up to cover some bruising on her face, she dressed in black scrubs and quietly left the room, Bobby was sitting at the bar drinking coffee and reading the paper.
"Where you going Lizzie?"
"Gee Bobby scrubs, hospital ID, stethoscope...working the corner, trying to earn a buck."
"No need to be a smart ass, I will take you over my knee."
"You've got the wrong Trager, I think you want my brother for that kinky shit!" She smiled at him when he dropped his paper. "So, want to follow me to work?"
'If it gets rid of your smart ass mouth then yes!" He heard her laugh, she kissed him on the check.
"Are you going to follow me or what?"
"I think it's safer if you ride with me."
"Okay, let's roll then." She watched him gt up from his seat, she followed him out side, climbing on behind him, he took her to the hospital.
"When do you need picked up?"
"Tomorrow morning at six!" She kissed him on the check before going inside the hospital and starting her day.

Chibs woke up, his arms empty, a sense of panic filling him. His eyes snapped open, he searched his room and came up empty. He threw on a t-shirt and sweat pants walking out to the main room of the club house, looking for Lizzie. His eyes scanned the room, not seeing her, his heart started to race. He sat down at the bar, trying to calm his nerves.
"What's wrong Chibby?" Tig sat down next to him.
"Have you seen your sister this morning?"
"Bobby, took her to work this morning."
"I forgot she had to work." Chibs walked back to his dorm room, laying down back in his bed. He wouldn't be able to breathe easy again until she was in his arms again, and Jimmy O was dead. He needed to take a shower, then he was going to ride over to St. Thomas to cheek in on her. He needed to see her, make sure she she was safe.
Getting into the shower, he thought about his beautiful Lizzie. Christ, he had to protect her from that bastard Jimmy! He'd kill the bastard if, he laid a finger on her. He would protect her with his life! Stepping out of the shower, he quickly dried off, trimming his goatee he got dressed. Leaving the the clubhouse, he and Happy rode over to St. Thomas so he could check on Lizzie.

"Chest pain in room 3, Dr. Trager."
"Thank you Amie." She walked into the room, smiling at the gentleman laying on the table. "Good morning Mr. O'Phelan, I'm Dr. Trager, can you tell me what brings you in today?"
"It's Jimmy, please. I've been having chest pain."
"Okay, I'm going to order some labs, chest x-rays, and EKGs. Let's see what we're dealing with."
"Thank you doctor." She walked out of the room, placing the orders into the computer.
"Amie, could you please get the gentleman in room 3 on a cardiac monitor?"
"Sure thing doc."

"Hello."
"Filip, your Dr. Trager has the most amazing eyes, her lips are so full. I bet they will feel amazing wrapped around my cock. Oh, she smells amazing, like wildflowers!"
"What the fuck are you doing? Keep away from her!"
"I'm so close to her, I can reach out and touch her. Maybe I'll touch one of those perky tits!"
"Keep her hands off of her!" He heard Jimmy laughing as the call ended. Panic and fear started to bubble up inside him, as he rushed into the hospital. He was at the information desk, waiting for the nurse to look at him.
"May I help you sir?"
"I'm here to see Dr. Trager."
"She's with a patient. Can I tell her what's this about?"
"I'm her boyfriend." He was pacing the waiting room, his panic growing. Jimmy was close enough to know her eye color, and what she smells like.
XXX
She walked into Exam 3, to give her patient the news that all the labs and tests were normal. She walked into the room, he was gone, walking out to the nurses station she found Amie. "Did the patient in room 3, sign out AMA?"
"No. Is he gone?"
"Have John check the bathroom."
"Dr. Trager, you have a visitor. He's in the waiting room." The receptionist came and got her, she looked up smiling.
"Who is it?"
"You're boyfriend." She smiled, thinking about Filip. She went out into the waiting room, seeing him pacing.
She reached out, stopping him. "What's wrong/"
"Are you okay? Did he hurt you?"
"Who?"
He pulled her into his arms, holding her close to him. "Have you heard of a man named Jimmy O' Phelan?" She looked at him, with confusion in her eyes.
"Why are you asking me that?"
"He's a very bad man, I couldn't stand it if he hurt you."
"Filip, what's this about?" She cupped his face. "Nobody is going to hurt me."
"You need to come with me, now!"
"I can't leave, I'm in the middle of a shift."
"Lizzie, you have too come with me now for your safety."
"I'm sorry Filip, I can't. I have patients." She walked away from him, going back into the ER, leaving him in the waiting room.

She walked out the next morning feeling exhausted, it had been another busy night for her. She didn't sleep from three on, and little to no surprise no one picked her up. She looked around the parking lot, home was only five miles, she could walk it with no problem. She slung her bag across her chest, and started walking, she heard the motorcycles riding up on her, she ignored it but keep walking.
The biker pulled up in front of her stopping, hoping off his bike, and getting in front of her. "Where in the hell do you think you're going?"
"Home!" She walked around him, continuing to walk home. She heard him curse, she was picked up off her feet and carried to his bike.
"Listen to me lass. You're coming back to the clubhouse with me, we're going to talk about this!"
"Talk about what Filip? How you marched into my ER and demand that I was leaving with you? How..." He sat her down on the ground, pulling her in his arms, kissing her.
"I'd loose my mind if anything happened to you because of me! Jimmy O'Phelan is the one that gave me these scars, after he took my wife and daughter from me."
She backed away from him, looking at him. "You're married?"
"It's paper only, it was over long ago. I stopped loving her a long time ago." She walked away from him, with tears in her eyes.
"It doesn't matter Filip, you're married." She took off running, she cut through alley ways. She could hear his motorcycle, she was almost home. Her lungs burned from not running for almost three months. She hit her drive, unlocked her door, slamming it shut re-locking it. She threw her stuf on the couch, stumbling into the bathroom, stripping down and climbing into the shower.
XXX
She laid down in bed, crying thinking how stupid she had been. She heard pounding on her front door, and him calling her name, she sure as hell didn't want to talk to him. She dozed off, once the pounding stopped, she felt the bed dip down, and his arms were around her, pulling her towards him.
"Please Lizzie, let me explain."
"Explain what?"
"I don't love her, I haven't for a long time. She won't give me a divorce, I've asked. Please, Lizzie..you're the one that's in my heart!"
"Filip..." His lips captured hers, he pulled her to him. She opened her mouth to him, her hands went into his hair. She was laying beneath him in a t-shirt and panties. "Love me..." She didn't have to ask him again, he quickly undressed, climbing back into bed with her.
He cupped her face. "You're so beautiful. And you're mine."
XXX
She woke up hours later, still in his arms, he was staring down at her. "What are you doing?"
"Watching you sleep."
"Because that's not creepy at all!" He leaned down kissing her. She got up from the bed, walking to the bathroom, she felt his arms go around her waist. He turned her around, cupping her face.
"I love you, Lizzie!"
"What did you just say?' Looking into her eyes, he leaned down kissing her.
"I said I love you Lizzie!"
"Filip...I love you too."
XXX
"Jimmy O'Phelan was a patient in the ER, the day you came in wanting me to leave. He left after I saw him, after having tests ran." She felt his arms tighten around her.
"He's a dangerous man love. I need you to be safe, please take a leave from the ER."
"I can't take a leave, I just started."
"This man will take you from me and hurt you, just to watch me suffer. Please Lizzie, tell me you'll take a leave."
"I can't Filip."
"Damn it Lizzie. I love you! I'm trying to keep you safe!" She got up out of bed.
"I love you too, but you can't wrap me up in bubble wrap."
His arms went around her, he pulled her against his chest. "Please say you'll take a leave."
"No! I refuse to hide out because of fear!" She heard him curse, he released her from his hold, he slammed into the bathroom. He came out a few minutes later dressed, he slammed out of her house, she heard him ride out on his motorcycle. She got into the shower, closing her eyes letting the hot water washing over her body. She took her body wash, pouring it over a wash cloth , she rubbed it over her body. She rinsed off, she washed her hair.
Stepping out of the shower, she wrapped a towel around her. Checking her phone, to see if there was a message from Filip, she had nothing. She dried her hair, and got dressed. Walking out to the livingroom, she nearly dropped her phone, sitting on her couch was Jimmy O'Phelan.
