Here is the next chapter. Sorry for the wait...with my classes starting i didn't have much time to write. But found some and i am almost done with the story so i will be posting a few more chapters this weekend.
After not having a very good start to the night, Stefanie found herself unable to sleep much after her conversation with Jax. After giving up on the sleep Stefanie found herself watching TV as she watched the infomercials that were on at 4 a.m.
Turning off the TV, Stefanie decided to try her hand at sleeping again as she pulled back the covers and climbed in. Throwing the comforter over her head she closed her eyes as she begged for the sleep to consume her.
Waking to the sound of pounding on the door Stefanie turned her head to see that it was 7:30 a.m. as was surprised that she was at least able to get some sleep. Getting out of bed she crept to the stash draw as she pulled out the gun and walked over to the door. Pulling the curtain back Stefanie let out a breath as she noticed that it was only Tig and Kozic at her door.
Pulling the door open she stared at the two men as she shook her head. "What the fuck are you two doing here at 7:30 in the morning?" She asked as she pointed the gun at each of the men that stood in front of her.
"Remind us not to piss you off or wake you up." Tig said as Stefanie let out a soft chuckle as she let the two of them in. Walking over to the draw she placed the gun in as she looked at the two men who were standing in front of her. "What's wrong?" She asked as Tig sat down and let out a loud sigh.
"We got a problem Angel." He said as Stefanie sat down also as she look at the Tig. "What is it?" She asked as Tig looked at Kozic. "Sit." Tig said as Kozic looked to Stefanie. "It's okay." She said as Kozic sat down on the couch as he looked over at Stefanie.
Tig sighed again as he looked over at Stefanie. "Look, Jax didn't want to mention anything to you. Didn't want to stress you out but I think you need to know something." He said as Stefanie nodded her head. "Okay...what?" She asked as Tig and Kozic exchanged a look before continuing.
"A few days ago...we got into a fight with the Calaveras MC, and well we humiliated their president...Hector Salazar. Anyway we just wanted to let you know if you see a car or something you don't recognize to..." He said as Stefanie looked at him and shook her head. "Call you...?" She said as Tig nodded his head. Stefanie shook her head as she stood up. "Okay guys I get it...you want to protect your VP's pregnant fiancé. I get it...but I'm a big girl in a house full of guns...my father was an "original 9 member" he taught his little girl how to defend herself okay." She said as Tig got up and walked over to her.
Looking straight ahead Stefanie smiled lightly as he stopped in front of her. "I know Angel...but if anything happens to you. It will kill Jax. Especially if he can't get Abel back." He said as gently Stefanie nodded her head as Tig leaned in and wrapped his arms around her. Smiling Stefanie pulled away after their hug as Tig looked over at Kozic. "Let's go." He said as Kozic got up and walked over to the door. "Remember call if you think anything might be off okay." Tig said as Stefanie nodded as Tig walked out of the house and over to his bike. Kozic followed behind him and looked to Stefanie as Stefanie smiled as she shut the door behind them.
After doing some chores around the house, Stefanie grabbed her bag as she looked down at her phone to see that Lyla had sent her a text letting her know how she was. Picking up her keys from the counter she left the house as she walked over to her car and got in.
Once in the car, Stefanie put the key in the ignition as she looked into the review mirror to see a car discreetly leave the corner as it speed away. Shrugging off the notion of someone watching her house, Stefanie pulled out as she headed toward the garage.
Stefanie drove into the T&M parking lot as she noticed that Tara's car was parked in the lot. Getting out of the car, Stefanie pulled her messenger bag over her shoulder as she locked the car and headed to the office door.
Walking into the office, Piney smiled as he walked over and gave her a quick hug. "Hey Angel, we didn't call you in." He said as Stefanie smiled as she pulled away and looked at Piney. "Yeah, I know I just had nothing to do and decided to come see how everything was here. Paper work done?" She asked as she walked around the desk and looked to see that it was clear for once.
Stefanie rose her eyebrows as she laughed lightly. "Wow, you guys did a good job. Gemma will be impressed." She said as Piney laughed. "We did our best." He said as Stefanie looked over to see Tara and Kozic talking.
"You and the "good" doctor work things out?" Piney asked as Stefanie shrugged and sat down in the chair. "Trying I guess...let bygones be bygones you know?" she said as Piney nodded his head. "There's been enough animosity between the two of you already. He said as she nodded as she rose from the chair and walked out into the California air as Piney came up behind her. "I heard from Jax last night." She said as Piney put a comforting hand on her back. "It's not going to be "easy" getting Abel back Piney." She said as she bit her lip as she willed the tears that were brimming her eyes to not break threw.
Piney rubbed her back soothingly as she wiped the tears away and looked up at him. "Jax and the guys will find a way. Always do Angel." He said as Stefanie nodded her head as she looked to see Tara ending her conversation and motioning for Stefanie to come toward her. "I gotta go." She said as Piney nodded his head as Stefanie gave him a quick peck on the cheek as Piney squeezed her arm as she walked out to the parking lot.
Walking toward Tara, who was leaning against her car, Stefanie stopped in front of her as she looked at her. "What?" Stefanie asked as Tara pulled herself from the car and looked at Stefanie.
"Nothing, I just came by to tell you that I scheduled you another doctor's appointment." Tara said as Stefanie looked at her shrugged. "Um...I don't have to see Dr. Price for another two weeks." She said as Tara shook her head and held out the card. "It's not Dr. Price it's for a specialist...they're going to check the baby for the..." Tara started as Stefanie looked down at her growing stomach. "Family flaw." Stefanie finished as she ran her hand over her stomach. "Yes...they'll be able to tell you." She said as Stefanie nodded her head and looked down at the card. "Thank you, Tara." She said as Tara nodded her head. "You're welcome." She said as she looked over to see Kozic coming toward them.
"Hey Kozic." Stefanie greeted as Kozic nodded to Stefanie as he turned his attention to Tara. "Bad news doc...we won't be able to release your car...needs some work." He said as Tara nodded her head.
Stefanie placed the card in her bag as she walked over to her car and unlocked it. Before getting in Stefanie looked up to see Tara walking toward her car. "Stefanie can you do me a favor?" She asked as Stefanie threw her bag in the back as she looked back at Tara. "You need a ride?" She asked as she looked down at her keys then back at her.
Tara nodded her head as Stefanie got in the car and shut the door. "Get in." Stefanie said as she opened the passenger side door. Tara got in as she placed her bag in front of her as Stefanie pulled out of the T&M parking lot and headed toward the hospital.
"What time does your shift end?" Stefanie asked after a few minutes of silence as she pulled up to the curb outside of the hospital. "It ends at 9." Tara said as Stefanie nodded her head. "I'll give you a ride home if you want." She said as Tara nodded her head as she got out of the car. "Okay...see you then." She said as Stefanie nodded her head as she pulled away from the hospital and drove off toward the center of town.
Stefanie spent the remainder of the afternoon and most of the evening buying groceries and doing a little shopping to get her mind off things. Looking at her watch she noticed that it was close to having to pick up Tara.
Stopped at a red light Stefanie looked down to see that her phone was ringing. "Hello?" Stefanie answered as the light turned green and Stefanie drove off toward the hospital. "Hey Angel, its Tig. Wanted to know if you're okay?" He asked as Stefanie pulled up to the curb and nodded her head. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just keeping myself busy you know." Stefanie answered as Tig laughed lightly. "I know Angel...we miss everyone too. Here from them at all?"Tig asked as she heard screaming in the background. "No...nothing that gives us any idea if Abel has been found or not." She said as Tara walked toward her car. "Look Tig I'll be home soon so don't worry about me okay." She said as Tig let out a deep sigh. "Alright Angel...bye." He said as Stefanie hung up the phone.
Tara walked over to her car and got in a she looked at Stefanie. "Thank you Stefanie." She said as Stefanie pulled away and headed toward Tara's. "No problem." She said as she continued to drive through the town.
Driving down an abandoned road toward Tara's home, Stefanie sighed as she came to a stop at a red light. "So have you heard from Jax?" Tara asked as Stefanie turned her attention from the road to Tara. "Why do ask?" Stefanie asked as Tara shrugged as Stefanie looked in her review mirror to see a car approaching. "Yeah...a few days ago...things are going okay." She said as Tara nodded her head as all of a sudden the car that was steadily approaching slammed into the back of Stefanie's car. "What the fuck?" Stefanie said as she unbuckled her seat belt and got out as Tara came from the other side to look at the car.
"Everything okay?" The gentlemen asked as he got out of the car followed by a female companion. "Yeah...no damage." Stefanie said as she bent down to look at her rear bumper. "Hey, I know you." The female companion said as Stefanie looked up. "Oh, yeah?" She said as she raised her eyebrow as she stood back up. "Yeah...you're Jax Teller's "old lady" aren't you?" She asked as Stefanie watched the girls eyes land on her stomach. "Looks like prince will have an heir huh?" She said as Stefanie looked back between the two. "Who the fuck are you two?" She asked as the women pulled a gun on Stefanie as she watched Tara flinch at the sight of the gun. "This is my man...your boyfriend was pretty stupid to leave you all alone without anyone to protect you." She said as Stefanie laughed as she pulled the gun from her purse and held it back at her. "Don't worry he didn't." Stefanie said as the women also smiled as she pointed to her man.
"Wouldn't do that sweetie." The man said as Stefanie looked down to see he also had a gun pointed at her stomach. Stefanie raised her eyes to the women as she gave in and put her gun down as she tossed it to the ground. "Let's go for a ride." The women said as Stefanie stood still. "And if I say no?" She said as she watched the women smiled before she felt something hit her head and her world went black.
