Juice picked up an abandoned black SUV from down town Charming early that morning the VIN number had been rubbed off on it. They were going to salvage it for parts. He called Chibs over when he noticed the red paint on the front bumper.
"Is it a match for Gen's jeep?"
Chibs studied it closely, they compared the bumpers of both vehicles. "Christ!" He was looking at the vehicle that could have killed Gen and his unborn child. His anger started to boil, "Have Clay or Jax seen this?"
"No, you were the first to see it!"
"Let them know." He walked back to the garage trying to calm his nerves. He needed to make sure she was still safe, he pulled out his phone and called her.
"Hello, Dr. Teller."
"Are you resting Lass."
"I'm sitting down and working."
"Genevieve!"
"I'm looking into getting another doctor to help me. I'm okay, don't worry so much!"
"I can't help it!"
"Everything will be fine!"
"Stay out of trouble!"
"Where's the fun in that?"
"That's what I'm afraid of!" She laughed.
"I've got to go! See you when you get home!"
"You better be there!"
He ended the call feeling better knowing she was safe. Jax and Clay walked up after looking at the black SUV. "Unser is on his way to dust it for prints. Hope to find something to who tried to hurt Gen."

Gen was sitting at her desk when Opie dropped a plate with a sandwich carrot sticks and other veggies in front of her. He set a water bottle in front of her and sat down in a chair across from her.
"I promised Chibs you'd eat."
She looked up and smiled at him, she picked up her sandwich and ate it. The bell over the door rang, Gen got up and went to the other room.
"What are you doing here?"
"Is that any way to treat an old friend Genevieve?" He grabbed her arm.
"Stay away from me! Let go of me Patrick!" She cried.
Opie jumped up from his chair and ran out of the office. "Get your hands off of her!"
"This is no concern of yours friend! I'm just saying hi to my girlfriend."
Opie jerked him up by his shirt and smashed his fist into his face and dropped him on the floor. He got in his face and growled at him. "If you ever come back here again, come near her or touch her, I will kill you."
He spun around to look for Gen but he couldn't find her. He started calling her name and searching for her. He heard her in the closet, he opened the door she was curled up in the very back crying. He tried to coax her out but she just retreated further back, she was shaking so hard. He didn't know what to do. He called Chibs and told him what happened.
Jax and Chibs flew out to Gen's ranch as fast as they could go. They both ran into the clinic, they found Opie sitting in front of the closet looking helpless. Jax pulled him to one side while Chibs stepped in the closet and picked up Gen.
"What happened Ope?"
"We were sitting here eating and someone came in. It was Patrick Murphy."
Jax hit the wall "Did he hurt her?"
"He grabbed her. I stopped him and threw him out, warned him. She was hiding in the closet when I came back. God Jax, I've never seen her that way."
"He did a real number on her."

Chibs wrapped his arms around Gen. "I've got you sweetheart, you're safe!" He carried her out of the closet, out of the clinic and into the house. He sat down with her on the couch, with her on his lap.
"I'm okay. Sorry I worried you." She looked down. He cupped her face and looked into her eyes and kissed her.
"Can you tell me what happened love?"
"It was Patrick Murphy, he was here. Opie took care of him." There was a knock on the door, Opie and Jax walked in. Gen got up and went over and hugged Opie. "I'm okay, thank you Ope."
He lifted her up in his arms. "You scared the crap out of me little sister. Don't check out on me like that again!" He kissed her on the top of the head, set her down on the ground and left. Jax walked over and gave her a hug.
"We are going to get this bastard sis!"
"I know." The roar of motorcycles shook the whole house, they walked out onto the porch and practically the whole club was there. Tig walked up to her and hugged her.
"You're our little Princess no matter how old you are! We are going to protect you and the little one. Now who's ass are we kicking?"
Gen started to cry, these hormones were making her a wimp. All of her "uncles" looked a bit uncomfortable. "Thank you, I love you all!" Of course behind the club came the old ladies with food.
Chibs looked at her. "Are you holding up love?"
She turned to look at him, she must have turned to fast, she was hit by dizziness and started to fall forward. Chibs put an arm around her waist, to steady her. "Gen?" She had her eyes closed trying to make the world stop spinning. "Gen!" He said a little louder, when she didn't answer, he picked her up and carried her to the couch and laid her down.
Gemma brought a cool cloth and placed it on her forehead, Tara had her medical bag out and took her blood pressure, she took her blood sugar, which was a little low.
"Let's get her some juice."Tara said. Gemma brought her a glass of juice. Gen sat up and sipped it.
"Sorry, I didn't get to finish my lunch with all the craziness." Chibs sat beside her making sure she was doing okay. "I'm fine, go be with the men!"
"Are you sure love?" She smiled at him.
"Do you think these women are going to let any harm come to me or the little one?" She leaned up and kissed him.

Patrick Murphy sat back and smiled. He had loved scarring her today, the look on her face was priceless. She thought she was safe in this little hick town, no matter how many men were around her, she would never be safe from him.
"Tucker, tomorrow I want you to visit our friend at her ranch. Terrorize her a little bit!"
"You got it!" Tucker smiled to himself.

She woke up the next morning feeling better, she had slept late that morning. She was running late for work, she threw on scrub pants and a t-shirt and ran down stairs. She opened the fridge grabbed a yogurt, and a water. Running out the door to the clinic to for a staff meeting, she nearly plowed into Tig.
"Crap Tig!"
"Is that all your eating this morning?" He looked at her with disapproval.
"For now! I'll grab more later, don't tattle!"
"Slow down!" He watched her run into the clinic and shut the door.
Glenda was already in the office waiting for her. They were waiting for Ethan her Vet assistant and Dr. Danner the vet that would be helping her. They arrived and the meeting got started. Dr. Danner was going to take field calls so Gen could stay in the clinic. She would pick up more clinic hours as the Gen's due date got closer.
At ten Tig appeared at the clinic with a plate of food for her. "What is it with you boys and food?"
"We just want to make sure you're taking care of yourself!"
"I know!" She hugged Tig and took the plate and ate everything on it. Glenda brought in a box that had been delivered with Gen's name on it. She opened it up, turned pale, and sat down pushing the box away. She was shaking uncontrollably.
"Gen, look at me. What's wrong!" He grabbed the box and looked in it. He picked up his phone and dialed Chibs number. She reached up and took his phone and ended the call.
"Don't I'm fine. Just take it way!"
"I need to tell Chibs."
"No!" She laid her head down on her desk and cried. She went out to the stables to find her ranch hands.
"Why didn't you tell me about Midnite?" She asked Tyson.
"We just found him this morning Gen. We didn't want to upset you!"
"What did you do with him?"
"We took care of it."
She walked back to the clinic and sat at her desk. The picture of her murdered horses was burned into her brain. Tig sat in front of her looking at her.
"Come on baby, let me call Chibs!'
"No, I'm fine! I'm not going to fall apart. You're not telling anyone Tiggy!"
"You're one tough women!" He kissed her on the forehead..
"It's about time someone noticed!"
XXXX
She laid down on the couch after coming in from work and fell asleep. She had kept it together for the most part, but now she was just done. Chibs saw her laying down sleeping, he frowned. She looked really pale, her eyes had purple shadows underneath them. He wondered if she was working to hard, he sat down on the couch and started massaging her feet.
She moaned and slowly opened her eyes. "You have no idea how wonderful that feels!"
'Lass, are you taking care of yourself?"
"Yes, why do you ask?"
"You look really pale tonight and you have purple shadows under your eyes."
She straddled his lap and kissed him. "You worry way too much! I'm taking good care of us." She patted her stomach, his hand covered hers.
"Gemma wants you to come over for dinner. Are you up for it?"
"Yes, let me go change clothes." She hopped off his lap and ran up stairs and changed clothes. Since she hadn't replaced her jeep yet, Chibs brought a truck home to drive over to Gemma's.
XXX
They pulled into the drive at Gemma and Clay's, there was a brand new jeep in the drive with a ribbon on the hood.
"They didn't?"
"It looks like they did love."
"Did you know about it?"
"No, they just asked me to see if you would come over."
"Let's go in." She got out of the truck and headed into the house. They walked into the house together, Jax, Tara, and Abel were there too. Abel came crawling over to Gen. She picked him up and loved on him.
"Hello handsome!" She kissed his face and snuggled him. Jax hugged his sister and took Abel, Tara hugged her. Gemma and Clay came forward and handed her the keys.
"Here ya go little girl!"
"Thanks mom, thanks Clay." She hugged them. They sat down and ate dinner, they laughed and talked. Chibs noticed how tired Gen looked, he tugged her hand and asked her if she was ready to go home. She nodded her head, she handed him the keys to her jeep and he drove them home.
"Lass, I can see something has been bothering you all night. Tell me!"
"It's not important, I handled it!"
He pulled her into his arms and kissed her. "Now take me up stairs and make love to me!" She demanded!
"Yes, ma'm!" He tossed her over his shoulder and carried her up the stairs, and he tossed her on the bed. She looked up at him and laughed.
