After, a sleepless night after the encounter with Jax Stefanie finally pulled herself out of bed. Looking toward the night stand she looked at her alarm clock and saw that it was only 4:30a.m. sighing she pulled the covers away and walked into the bathroom. Looking at herself in the mirror she quickly ran the water and pulled a handful into her hand and then onto her face. Wiping her face she returned to her bed to see her phone vibrating on the night stand. Hitting ignore she laid back down to see if any or all sleep would come.
Pulling up to the garage she could saw all of the son's bikes parked outside. Walking inside she also Gemma working hard. "What's with guys?" she asked as Gemma looked up. "Gun run...Piney is looking after garage and now Clay has ordered him to watch me." She said as Stefanie sat down in front of her. "You okay?" she asked as Stefanie looked up. "Yeah...just I've had something on my mind." She said as Gemma smiled. "Jax?" she asked as they looked to him walk by with Juice and Half Sac in toe. "He's part of it." she said as Gemma pulled the chair foreword. "Just get back with him Angel. It'll make you and him feel better. He made a mistake." She said as Clay walked in. "We're heading out." He said as Stefanie got up. "I'll be back." She said as Gemma nodded.
Walking outside she was stopped by Juice who had a smile on his face. "Did you know that Half-Sac is getting a prosthetic nut?" he asked as she looked at Half-Sac curiously. "You're getting a what?" she asked as Half-Sac looked down in embarrassment. "They're giving him a fake nut." Tig said with a smile on his face. "Right...where's Jax?" she asked as they pointed to him arguing with Opie. "Opie back in for good?" she asked as Piney walked up. "It's the only thing he's got left except for the kids." He said as Opie returned back to the group. "Good luck on the run guys." Stefanie said as she walked over to Jax. "Hey...you and Opie okay?" she asked as she leaned against his bike. "No...you okay?" he asked as she smiled. "Yeah...look about last night. I'm not mad about you and Tara. I just need to figure some stuff out first and then..." she said as Jax cut her off. "Then what?" he asked as he placed and hand on her hip. "We can take us to the next step." She said as he looked over to see Clay walk out angry. "You know what's up with them?" he asked as she shook her bangs from her eyes. "I don't know...I think she's still pissed about what happened at Kara-Kara." She said as she hooked her fingers through one of Jax's belt loops. "JAX LETS GO." Clay screamed as Stefanie removed her fingers. "You better go before he gets pissed." She said as Jax nodded and got onto his bike. "Hey do me a favor and be safe. Jax smiled and winked as he drove off with the rest of the club behind him.
A few hours later it was Gemma who stopped Stefanie just when she was about to leave. "You mind watching the place while I go take care of something?" she asked as Stefanie looked at her upset. "Look I have to go take care of something too...what you want me and Piney to take care of the garage?" she asked as Gemma grabbed her keys. "Just fucking do it okay." She said as Stefanie looked at her as she walked past in shock. "You know what I'm going to say this in the nicest way I can...I know what happened was horrible I know that. But making the rest of us around feel like we're nothing isn't right. We all have things going on with are personal lives. Some of them life changing." She said as Gemma just shook her head and walked to her car leaving Stefanie there to handle the garage.
After a few hours of filing the paper work and having people pick up their cars...Stefanie was ready to go. "This is why Piney...I don't work at a garage." She said as Piney laughed. "Your father loved it though." He said as she smiled. "Yeah...he did almost as much as he loved the club." She said as Piney's phone rang in his pocket. "You get that I'll get this next costumer." She said as she walked toward the customer. "How can I help you?" she asked as Piney came up behind her. "We're closing the garage. I have to go... the club needs me." He said as Stefanie handed the keys to the owner and turned toward Piney. "Why do they need you?" she asked as Piney looked away from her eyes. "Its club business, sweetie just handle the office." He said as he walked toward the tow-truck. "I DON'T EVEN WORK HERE!" she yelled as he drove away leaving her with the garage alone.
Gemma returned to the garage later that night with an envelope in hand. "Where's Piney?" she asked as Stefanie looked up from the computer. "Piney took off a few hours ago...he said the "Club needed him"" she said as Gemma scoffed. "Figures...so I guess we still have a garage full of cars needed to be picked up?" she asked as Stefanie got off the computer and grabbed her bag. "You got it...a lot of costumers were angry." She said as she started to walk out. "Stefanie wait...I'm sorry about today...I'm trying to get through it. You've always been like another child of mine...I'll get back to normal I swear." She said as Stefanie's mind lingered on the word "child". "I know you will Gemma...you've always been strong...you'll get past this." She said as Gemma pulled her in for a hug. "You're not going to stay?" she asked as Stefanie smiled. "No I have to go take care of something...let Jax know I'll call him later." She said as Gemma nodded and she walked out toward her car.
Once at the store Stefanie greeted the clerk as she walked the ales till she found what she was looking for. After looking at the item carefully she took a deep breath as she walked back toward the clerk. "Hi...how are you doing this evening?" she asked as Stefanie smiled. "Fine." She said as she placed the pregnancy test on the counter. The clerk smiled as Stefanie looked down at the box with a blank stare.
