She was standing in the kitchen wearing one of his t-shirts and panties, drinking a cup of coffee. She smiled thinking about the night before, when they'd gotten home from the club, they had made several memories last night. His arms snaked around her waist, pulling her against his chest.

He growled in her ear. "How do you expect me to get anything done, when you're standing in the kitchen looking like this good?" She laughed, laying her head against his chest.

"Sounds like you have attention issues." He turned her around to face him, his hands moving to her face.

"No love, my sexy fiancee is standing here dressed in my t-shirt and panties. Makes me want to do things." He kissed her, pushing her against the counter. His hands moved to the hem of his t-shirt, lifting it over her head. "You're so beautiful." He picked her up, wrapping her legs around his waist, carrying her into the living room. He laid her down on the couch, smiling down at her.

She smiled up at him, her arms wrapping around him. "Filip, love me."

"Always."

She sat at Gemma's dinning room table, talking about planning the wedding in sixth months. She didn't want anything big, just something simple. "We need to go dress shopping." She smiled at Gemma. "I want Jax to give me away, do you think he'll do it?"

"Of course he will!" Gemma touched her hands. "So what are you thinking for a dress?"

"I want something simple, nothing to fancy. I'll know it when I see it. Will you go shopping with me?"

"You know I will sweetheart." She smiled at the woman, that she'd thought of as a mom for years. "When do you want to go?"

"I guess as soon as I can get an appointment, considering we're planning this thing in six months." She knew that Gemma was phenomenal at planning events, and that she'd do an out standing job.

"I'll call the bridal store in Lodi, and let you know." Gemma smiled at her.

"Thank you." By the time they were done, her wedding was planned, Tara would be her Maid of Honor, they'd pick a dress when they went wedding dress shopping. She also needed to find a dress for Sarah to wear that day. She hugged Gemma, before she left, picking up Sarah, and her bags, she made her way to her car. The little girl was happy to see her mommy, she asked for her daddy.

JC decided to run by TM, so the little girl could see her daddy. She pulled into the parking lot, scanning the line of bikes, she didn't see Filip's, she frowned and pulled out going home. She pulled into the garage, getting out of the car, she got her daughter out of the car, carrying her inside the house. She placed the little girl on the floor with some toys.

She made sure all the doors were locked, she put on some music, and started to clean the house. She walked back into the living room, Sarah was standing in the middle of the floor dancing. JC walked, started dancing with her daughter, she picked her up, and started spinning around with her. They were both laughing, JC's head was spinning.

She didn't hear the door open, she spun around to find Filip watching then, he was leaning against the door frame. "Look Sarah, who's that?"

"My dada!" JC put her down, the little girl ran over to him, throwing her arms up in the air. He picked her up, holding her close. "Hello my little love." He smiled at JC, walking towards her. He leaned down to kiss her. "Hello sweet girl. Did you get everything planned with Gemma?"

"All that's left is the hard stuff, dress shopping." She raised her eyebrows at him. "I'm taking Gemma so I'm sure I'll find one." She pulled her family to the couch. "You're home early."

"I couldn't wait to be home with my beautiful girls." He pulled her close for a kiss, she laid her head on his shoulder. She was curled up against him, Sarah in his arms, she felt that this was just about perfect.

"So why are you really home?" She'd been around the club long enough to know when things were off or about to go off the rails.

"You think you know me so well Josey." She raised her head off his shoulder, to look at him, he was smirking.

"Please Telford...are we getting a bodyguard or are we going on lock down?" She smiled at him, waiting for an answer.

"Lock down, but it should only be for a couple of days. I need you to pack bags for you and Sarah. I'm sorry."

You don't ever have to apologize for keeping your family safe." She cupped his face, smiling at him. She got up from the couch, going to the bedrooms to pack bags for both of them.

She was laying down with Sarah, in Filip's dorm room, the little girl was curled up against her sleeping. She herself was just about to doze off, Filip was out in the main room, he would be in shortly to check on them. She heard gunfire, she grabbed Sarah, rolling off the bed, she threw her body on top of the little girl. Not daring to move, she heard shattering glass, felt the bullets come through the walls.

Sarah was crying underneath her, clutching her shirt front, holding on for dear life. JC didn't dare move until she knew it was safe, she heard the door slam open.

"JOSEY!" She heard Filip's voice, then felt his hands on her body. "Are you whole? Sarah?" She could hear the panic and fear in his voice, she slowly sat up, looking at him.

"I'm good! We're fine." She looked at him, he pulled his family into his arms.

"Christ my loves!" He kissed her, and Sarah. Helping them up from the floor, he noticed her shirt splattered with blood. "Are you hit?" His hands ran over her back, finding it was from the shattering glass. The three of them walked out to the main room, there was absolute chaos in the room. She was guided over to a seat, by him, Sarah was clutching to his shirt.

She cupped his face, leaning into kiss him. "I'm fine, I swear." She took Sarah from his arms, holding her close. She watched as he walked out to take care of whatever hell had broken loose. She watched Gemma walking towards her, a look of concern on her face.

"Chibs wanted me to watch Sarah, so Tara could take a look at you."

She rolled her eyes, giving a little laugh. "He's such a worrywart. I'm a little cut up from falling glass." Gemma took Sarah from her, pushing her towards Tara.

"I'm not going to argue with your man baby. Just go let her check you out so he doesn't worry."

She reluctantly got up, walking towards Tara, she went into chapel, unbuttoning her shirt. Tara cleaned the cuts up, seeing that there were several deep ones, she stitched them up. She knew Filip would be upset when he found out, but this was the club life, she was use to it, the danger. She pulled her shirt back on, buttoning up.

She went to wash her hands, then help Tara take care of the wounded.

The lock down only lasted three days, they had eliminated the threat, and they were allowed to go home. Gemma, Tara, and JC headed to Lodi, to go wedding dress shopping. It wasn't until the third dress that JC found the perfect dress, it was an all over floral sheath tank dress, with a scalloped v-neck line, it had an empire waist, with a keyhole back, she chose an ivory color. She chose a ivory colored two-tier veil beaded scallop edge, beaded flowers and sequins.

When she walked out, she could tell by Gemma and Tara's reaction that it was the perfect dress. It was simple, yet elegant, it fit her like a glove. "You look beautiful baby!"

"Chibs is going to loose his mind, when he sees you in that." Tara smiled at her.

"Now, we need to find dresses for the three of you. Mother of the bride, Maid of Honor, and Flower girl." She watched the tears in Gemma's eyes. "I'll be back, let me go take this dress off." She went back to the dressing room, carefully taking off her dress. Putting her regular clothes back on, she went out to find dresses for the rest of her wedding party.

She had decided to keep her dress at Gemma's house, to keep Filip from seeing it, along with the purple princess dress she'd gotten for Sarah to wear. Walking into the house, she found Filip, sitting on the couch, watching TV, she and Sarah sat down on the couch with him.

"Didn't you find a dress?"

She smiled at him. "I did find one, in fact we all found dresses."

"Then where are they?"

"In a secret location, you don't get to see them until the big day!" She smiled at him.

"You don't trust me not to peek?" He faked a look of hurt.

She laughed. "I'm just afraid that the temptation would be too much for you." She winked at him, she was pulled into his arms. Sarah climbed up on his lap, looking into his eyes.

"No, no. no. da da! Be nice!" He tickled the little girl, blowing a raspberry on her stomach.

"I'm always nice, my little love." The little girl giggled, patting his face. "I love you Sarah!"

"Love da da!" The little girl hugged him, kissing his cheek. JC smiled at father and daughter, enjoying the two of them interacting together. "You love mamma?"

"Yes, I love mamma very much." He wrapped his hand around the back of JC's neck, pulling her close, kissing her. She ran her hands through his hair, messing it up.

"I love you too." Sarah jumped into her arms, giving her mommy hugs and kisses. "I love you too Sarah."

"Love mamma!"

"Tell me what it looks like!" Filip was holding her in his arms, his hands drawing lazy designs on her back.

"It's a dress, that's all you're getting! You'll see it on our wedding day, I want it to be a surprise." She heard him growl. He pulled her tighter against him, kissing the top of her head. "I'm still not telling you." She laughed, as he rolled her over, staring down at her.

"What if I want to buy you jewelry to go with your dress?" He lowered his lips to hers, kissing her.

"Nice try Telford, you can ask Gemma or Tara to help you." She smiled up at him, wrapping her arms around his neck, she pulled him down to kiss him. She wiggled underneath him, smiling when she heard him moan. He pulled her closer to him, pulling her legs around his waist. She smiled as he started to slowly make love to her. "I love you."

"Mo chridhe (My heart)" He brushed the hair from her face, cupping her face, he lowered his lips kissing her.

At the end of the week, she was contacted by the HR department, letting her know that the investigation was over. Several nurses from different departments had come forward and filed complaints against DR. Cadiz, after she had. They all all the same complaints as hers, because of this, he was being let go from the hospital. She could return to work next week, they were sorry about the inconvenience.

She was thoroughly shocked that others had come forward, she agreed to return next week. She hung up the phone, excited that it was finally over. She put her phone down, scooped up Sarah, and spun her around.

XXX

Ethan Cadiz didn't take the news well, because of that little bitch, he no longer had a job and he couldn't go out and be safe. Her psychotic boyfriend, and his outlaw friends were looking for him, and had plans to kill him. He could call one person for protection, August would give him sanctuary, and make her pay for destroying his life. Hell, he'd even take care of the MC, wanting to end his life, he pulled out his phone giving his cousin a call.

"August, it's E! I have a problem I need you to take care of."

"What do you need?"

"There's this nurse that has caused me some problems by telling some lies. Can you take care of her for me?"

"I can scare the truth out of her, but I'm not sure what you're asking me to do."

"She needs to go away, because of her lies, she has her boyfriend and his biker gang buddies after me."

'Give me her name, I'll see what I can do."

"Josephine Winston, she works at St. Thomas."

"I'll do what I can."

"Thanks August." Ethan ended the call, knowing his cousin would take care of him, and his problem.

XXX

August remembers seeing Ms. Winston in his cousins office weeks ago, he was collecting intel on her, she was a known associate with SAMCRO. He picked up his phone, calling his enforcer Moses Cartwright.

"Hello."

"I need you to retrieve someone for me."

"Yes sir, when and who?"

"Josephine Winston, as soon as you can. She's important to SAMCRO, if we have her, they'll be more then likely to give us what we want. Grab her up, as soon as possible, if I recall, she has a daughter. Bring her too."

"Yes sir. I'll get right on it."

Later that night, when Filip came home, she was excited to tell him her good news. That she was returning to work next week, he stared at her in shock and surprise.

"I don't want you to work. You're job is to take care of the house and your family. I make enough to support our family."

She couldn't believe the shit that was coming from his mouth. "It's not about if you can or can't support our family. It's about me working my ass off in school to get my degree. It's about me helping others..."

"No!" He crossed his arms over his chest.

"Just like that, it's no? It's too bad, I've already told them I'm coming back to work on Monday." She got up from the couch, going to the bedroom, getting ready for bed. He followed her, glaring at her back.

"I'm telling you lass, you aren't going back to work!"

"I don't know, who you think you are but I am."

"I'm your old man, soon to be husband, now do what you're told." His comments only fueled her anger, she turned to face him, her eyes blazing.

"You better think long and hard before you speak your next words. I'm returning to work on Monday, no matter what."

"Even if I forbid it?"

She clinched her jaw, her hands balled into fists. She was barely hanging on to her temper, she wanted to knock him on his pompous Scottish ass. "Forbid it? I think you've lost your mind Telford!" She went over to the bed, crawling in, pulling the blanket over her, whatever he was going to say next was interrupted by his phone ringing.

She watched him walking away to answer it, he came back a few minutes later. "I've got to go, club business. We're not done talking about this Josey." He leaned down to kiss her, before leaving.

XXX

He never came home that night, she was hurt and angry, she got up getting ready for the day. Gemma called her, asking if she could take Sarah for the afternoon, since JC, was feeling horrible she agreed. She dropped the little girl off at Gemma's and went home, to sleep off the funk that had invaded her body. She checked her phone for missed calls and messages, there was nothing.

She was settling down to rest, when she heard the front door being kicked in, she jumped from the bed. Before she could find a place to hide, there were three men dragging her out of the house. She tried to get away, knocking things over, and making a mess as they went. She was no match for three huge men, they over powered her, and threw her into the back of the van, speeding off.

XXX

Chibs pulled into the drive, he had no intention of being gone all night and half the day. He hated that they had fought the night before, he hadn't gotten a chance to call or text her, to apologize. He didn't want her going back to work, until they caught Cadiz, he would always be worried that the man would hurt her. he saw that the door was open, he let out a curse.

Getting off his bike, he walked into the house. "Josey?" Looking around he took in the mess, he pulled his gun out, moving room from room searching for his family. Not finding them, he pulled out his phone calling Jax.

"Jackie boy, I just got home and they're gone. The front door was kicked in, the house is a mess..."

"We're on our way Chibs."
