...Chapter 10...
...He's Going to London and Not Coming Back...

Jax left the hospital and went straight to the clubhouse. He grabbed two beers and went in to his room to think. He couldn't believe, that this whole time, Aly was Hale's daughter and he never said anything about it.

Twenty minutes later, there was a knock on his door. He groaned getting off his bed to open the door, and saw Pete standing there with an envelope in his hands. "I need you to do something for me, brov." Jax nodded as Pete handed him the envelope. "Give this to Aly."

Jax stared at it. "Okay."

"Now, I want you to do something else for me."

"What?" he looked back up at Pete.

"Please, take care of Aly... I know and I can tell, that she really loves you, and I can see it in your eyes, you love her too."

"Yeah, I do." Jax nodded.

"But, mate, don't hold it against her, because she might be pregnant with my child, all right?"

"Yeah."

"Take care of both of them for me." Jax nodded again. "I gotta go." Pete gave him a man-hug. "It was nice meeting you."

"Yeah, you too." Jax said, letting go. "Take care."

"You take care as well and take care of Gemma."

"I will... bye Pete."

"Bye." he told Jax, then left his room. Jax shut the door and laid back down on his bed.

For the past four days, Hale, Jax, and Gemma would alternate staying with Alyssa, because none of them want her to be alone. Jax stays away from Tara as possible, but she always manages to 'need' him for something and he's getting tired of her games.

As Jax was about to take a nap, he heard Alyssa's phone ring. He reached over to pick it up and pressed the talk button. "Hello?"

"Hi, this is Matt... is Alyssa there?"

"No, she's not awake yet, why?"

"I called to tell her about Pete." Jax's eyes widened and he quickly sat up, noticing the tone in Matt's voice.

"I'm his brother, Jax... what happened to him?"

"Pete, got into it with a guy from another town and he..." Matt deeply sighed. "Pete didn't make it."

"What!" Jax yelled. "What do you mean, he didn't make it?"

"Pete was, uh, beaten to death."

"He's... dead?" Jax's eyes widened.

"I'm sorry, man." Matt paused. "I have a folder of Pete's will and one of his requests is to be buried in California, where ever Aly picks or where she thinks is best."

"Um, okay."

"Again, Jax... I'm sorry."

"Thanks."

"Pete's friends and I will be down in California with his body by next week, but where exactly do we go?"

"I'll, uh text you with the address from this phone." Jax paused. "Hey Matt, do you know if Linda's coming to see Aly?"

"I think so, because I told her what happened."

"Okay, thanks for letting me know about Pete."

"You're welcome... bye."

"Bye." Jax told him, then hung up the phone, and rested his head on Alyssa's head, by her hip.

"Where the hell am I?" Alyssa thought to herself, trying to move. She heard a beeping noise to her right and someone sniffling in front of her. Alyssa slowly opened her eyes and saw bright lights and white walls.

Once her eyes focused, she realized that she was in the hospital and it was Jax, who had his head next to her. Him just being right there, made her smile. She slowly lifted up her hand and ran her fingers through Jax's hair.

He quickly snapped his head up. "Oh, shit." he gave her a hug. "You're awake."

"It's good to see you too... why am I in the hospital?"

Jax backed up to look at her. "You don't remember?"

"Remember what?"

"Aly, you and Pete were in a car accident, almost a week ago."

"Oh."

"You had to have surgery for your collapsed lung."

"Okay, where's Pete?"

Jax looked down. "He, uh... had to go back to London to take care of some things." he paused looking back up. "How are you feeling?"

"Like I got hit by a truck."

Jax frowned as his eyes started welling up. "Aly, don't joke like that... you could have died and I would have lost you for good."

"I'm... I'm sorry." she shrugged. "Just trying to lighten the mood."

Jax grabbed her hand and sighed, as she used the other hand to grab her head in pain. "Do you want me to get your doctor?"

"No, no." she slightly shook her head, then patted the space next to her. "I just want to be with you for a while."

"Okay." he took off his cut and laid it on the chair, then got next to Alyssa on the hospital bed.

As he wrapped his arms around her, she laid her head on his chest. "Jax?"

"Yeah?"

"I don't want to fight with you anymore."

"I don't either, Babe." he kissed the top of her head. "Can we... start over?"

"Besides you being here with Abel, do you think you can stay away from Tara?"

Jax lifted Alyssa's head with his fingers, looking her in the eyes. "Yes, I'll stay away, because I only wanna be with you... I love you, Aly."

She smiled. "I love you too, Jackson."

He kissed her, the stared at her with a serious look on his face. "There's something you should know."

"What is it?"

Jax was thinking in his head, which piece of news he should tell her first, but he wasn't ready to tell her about Pete or Hale being her father. "The doctor told us that... you're pregnant."

Her eyes widened. "I am?"

Jax nodded. "Dr. Coleman told us that you're early in your pregnancy, so you'll be in here for another week or so, just in case."

"Early?" she gasped. "Then it's.."

"Pete's baby."

"I'm sorry, Jax." she started to cry. "I didn't mean for it to happen. I was upset finding you with Tara and..."

Jax put his finger to her lips." Shh... it's okay. It's not your fault, Aly. I'm not going to blame you for something I caused, okay?" she nodded. "We can get through this and work it out." he smiled. "You can be a mom to Abel and I'll be a dad for your baby... everything's gonna be okay." she nodded again, then rested her head back on his chest.

As Jax was sitting there, rubbing Alyssa's back, he was wondering when he should tell her about Pete, or even his mom, before next week, but he knew he had to figure out something fast.

An hour later, Alyssa had fallen asleep, and Jax stayed posted in her hospital bed. He didn't want to move and risk waking her up, so he just laid there, with her kind of on top of him. Hale walked in, then frowned. "What the..."

Jax held up his hand. "Before you say anything." he whispered. "She's asleep right now... but, she woke up and hour ago."

"Why didn't you call?"

"All she wanted was me." Hale sighed, shaking his head. "Look, I don't think it's the best time to tell her who you really are."

"Why is that, Jax?"

"Because, she just found out that she was in an accident and she's pregnant with my brother's child. You don't need to spring your news on her now, she's not supposed to be stressing."

"Fine." Hale said, in a defeated tone, then walked out of the room, making Jax shake his head.

A/N: Okay, peeps... I had to stick to the GSH thingy, which by the way, I HATE the end of the movie, but even though I threw all of that into the mix, this is still a SOA story nonetheless... so I hope you all enjoy! R&R!
