Discharged

(DPOV)

I woke up this morning with Jax kissing my forehead. When he saw that my eyes were open he said "Good morning sweetheart." I just smiled at him and then winced. He noticed and said "Are you alright?" I took in a deep breath and said I'm in some pain but I'm alright. When can I get out of here? I want to see our son." Jax smiled at me and said "Gemma is bringing him here in a little back. She was cooking him breakfast when I called to check on them. Unser stayed with them last night. I nodded and looked over to where Amanda was and noticed that she was asleep in Juice's arms and that Tig had one of her hands in his. I looked around and noticed that Opie, Clay, David, Bobby, Happy, and Chibs were all starting to stir and I whispered "Could you go find me a pop please? I need caffine." Jax looked at me but finally nodded and kissed my forehead again and then went off in search of a pop for me.

I sighed after he left the room. As much as I wanted to believe that he loves me I just couldn't and I can't afford to be hurt. Happy walked over and sat beside me on my hospital bed and whispered "What's wrong baby girl?" I just looked at him and said "Jax is acting like he loves me. I want to believe that he does but right now I can't afford to believe it. I love him Happy. I always have and I always will but right now I can't afford to have a man in my life. I'm battered and broken right now." Happy nodded at me and said "It will be alright baby girl. I will talk to him. I do know though that he does love you and I also do not think that he has ever stopped. Remember that sweetie and remember that Jax is not mike and he would never hurt you physically. If he even hurts you emotionally I will hurt him." I tried to nod but a sharp pain caught me and I gasped. Happy jumped up and ran out of the room.

I looked up as my brother came over to me and said "Why did Happy just run out of hear sister?" I sighed and said "I gasped as a pain hit me. I think he took off running to find a Nurse or a Doctor. He never could stand to see me in pain." David nodded at me and said "I'm glad to see you little sis. I'm just sorry that I didn't know what was happening to you." I glared at him and said "You didn't know because I didn't want you to know. David I love you but if I or even Happy would have told you, you would have told Jax. I know you and I also know that if you or Jax would have tried to do anything it would have just been 10 times worse on me. Don't blame yourself for something you didn't know about." He nodded at me and then kissed my cheek and said "I'm going to run home and get a change of clothes and then I will be back. Listen to the Nurses, Doctors, and the guys." I just nodded at him and he left the room. For now I was happy to find a minute alone even if I wasn't really alone.

As I was walking back to Dawn's hospital room with her pop I saw Happy running so I stopped until he caught up with me. I said "What is going on brother?" He looked at me and said "I was running back to Dawn's room. I had ran to the Nurse's station to get a Nurse and a Doctor. Dawn is in a lot of pain." I nodded and started walking again but Happy said "Brother we need to have a talk." I stopped again and said "What is it?" He took in a deep breath and said "You know I love you like a brother Jax so I'm just going to come out and say this. Be careful with Dawn. She told me that she loves you but right now she can't see a way to be with you. She doesn't trust in your love for her brother. On top of that she is scared to be with a man right now. I know you love her so all I ask is take it slow. If she wants you as a friend right now then be a friend just don't push her into a relationship brother. I have been with her through some of the shit she has been through and it takes all of her strength not to run away when I get to close as a friend. She is scared and she is emotionally scarred." I just looked at him and then finally nodded and said "Hap I really do love her. I always have loved her and I always will. If she just wants to be friends then right now that is what I will be. I will prove to her that I won't hurt her both physically and emotionally." Happy nodded at me and slapped me on the back.

We walked back into the hospital room to see Brandon checking Dawn over. I noticed that he gave her a pill and then he went over and checked Amanda over. After he was done he said "Alright you two can be discharged this morning instead of this afternoon but I want you both to rest. Also I will come by the clubhouse tonight and check over you two again. I want you both to stay off of your feet and relax. If I hear that you didn't I will put your asses back in here quicker than you can say what the hell. Do I make myself clear ladies?" I heard both Dawn and Amanda say "Yes, sir" and I had to laugh. Dawn looked up at me and smiled slightly and I walked over to here and said "Here is your pop sweetheart. I will call mom and tell her to bring our son to the clubhouse. Also I think you and I need to have a talk but not now. I love you Dawn. I always have and always will but right now I just want to be there for you as a friend." I saw Dawn smile big at me and she grasped my hand and said "Thank you hon. You don't know what that means to me. You're right we need to talk but not right now." I smiled down at her and kissed her cheek.

I left her bedside as Clay came up to her and said "Baby girl I am glad that you get to come home. You, Amanda and the girls will stay in the clubhouse for now. I do not want to hear you protest. If I have you in the clubhouse then the guys can take care of you." I saw Dawn nod and then I went over and kissed Amanda on the forehead. She smiled at me but she still clung to Juice and Tig. I hope that she would also be okay. I made a note to myself to tell all the guys at the Clubhouse to keep their distance until Amanda came up to them and the same with Dawn. I know that the girls would be safe at the clubhouse because of everyone who will be there. I smiled. This is going to be a great day and the girls are ready to be discharged. I vowed to make Dawn see that I would never hurt her.
