Here is the next Chapter told you guys it would be a bit longer than the one i posted before. Only a few more chapters left before the end of this story.
Stefanie woke to the soft murmurs of people and the soft beeping of machines. Letting her eyes finally open, Stefanie took in her surroundings as she looked over to see several of the new prospect's bodies dropped into uncomftable hospital chairs. "Great I'm in the hospital AGAIN." Stefanie thought as she gingerly sat up as she ran her hands over her still pregnant stomach.
Sighing in relief she looked over to see Dr. Price smile as she walked into the room. "You have quite the entourage out there waiting for you." She said as Stefanie nodded her head as she watched Dr. Price take a seat next to the bed. "We have to stop meeting like this Ms. Willows." She said as Stefanie rested her hand on her stomach as she watched Dr. Price take out her chart.
"Alrighty first off...you have a concussion, no broken bones, we have an IV giving you some fluids. You were dehydrated when you were brought in here...that's why you might have collapsed at the police station. Some head trauma, bruising. No trauma to the baby which you are lucky by the way. We were quite concerned about that when you were brought in here. And lastly the bruising around your neck will fade in time. All and all...I don't see why you have to be here much longer. We're going to let this IV finish and I'll get your discharge papers." She said as Stefanie nodded her head as she looked at Dr. Price who had stood from the chair. "Thank you, Dr. Price." She said as Dr. Price smiled as she nodded her head. "You're welcome...stay out of the hospital okay." She said as Stefanie slightly laughed as she watched her doctor exit her room.
Laying her head back against the pillow Stefanie looked at the clock to see that it was early in the morning the next day as she sat up again and looked for her bag which was on the table next to her bed.
Reaching over Stefanie pulled out her phone to see that she had several missed messages. Mostly from friends as she scanned through them. Stefanie stopped once she saw Jax's number list several times. "He's probably worried." She said as she watched her phone go black in her hand as her battery died from the lack of charge. Tossing the phone in her bag she placed it on the ground as she ran her hands over her stomach as she turned to the prospect who, looked like he was waking, from the noise that she created.
"Shit...you're awake." He said in surprised as Stefanie looked at the kid who was trying to be SAMCRO. "Yes sparky...I'm awake. Are Tig, Kozic or Piney here?" She asked as the man stood from his chair and yawned loud. "Yeah...I think Tig might be here. You need him?" He asked as Stefanie nodded her head. "Yeah...you mind getting him?" She asked as he nodded his head and disappeared out the door.
Moments later Stefanie heard the mumbling and cursing as she looked over to see Tig rush into her room. "Fuck me, Angel...you trying to have Jax kill me?" He asked as Stefanie laughed. "No Tigger I'm not. I'm sorry." She said as Tig calmed down and took a seat next to the bed. "So what the doctor say?" He asked as he looked at Stefanie who he could tell was still tired but knew she wasn't going to go back to bed. "Baby's fine this time...I'm a little banged up. She wants me to go home and take it easy." She said as Tig nodded his head as he looked at the girl lying in front of him.
"I have some news that will cheer you up." He said as Stefanie looked at the IV which was almost finished. "Yeah what's that Tigger?" She asked as Tig shook his head at the pet name she and Gemma gave him. "I hate that name you know...Jax and boys will be here soon." He said as he watched Stefanie's eyes light up. "Really? They found Abel?" She asked as Tig nodded his head. "Yup...they're on their way now...which is why you can't be in this hospital bed when Jax gets home." He said as he rose from the chair. "What are you going to do...beg the doctors to let me go "AMA"?" She asked as Tig nodded his head.
Smiling Stefanie then realized that Salazar still had Tara. "Tig wait." She ordered as Tig turned around and walked back over to her bed. "What happened with Tara? She okay?" She asked as Tig sat back down in the chair and looked her in the eye. "We still haven't gotten her yet. But...um Kozic is taking care of things while I waited with the prospect for you to wake up...think he might like her actually. That and I did promise Jax I would take care of you while he was gone." He said as Stefanie nodded her head as she watched him get up and leave her room as he went to sign her out of the hospital.
"Remember Stefanie...bed rest." Dr. Price said as Stefanie sat in the T&M truck as Piney walked around the front of it. "I got it Dr. Price." She said as Dr. Price nodded her head as she retreated back to the hospital. Stefanie looked over as Piney got into the truck. "Angel...do me a favor." He said as Stefanie moved her hair from her face. "What's that?" She asked as Piney laughed. "Stay out of the hospital...till that baby's ready to come out okay?" He said as Stefanie laughed as she ran her hands over her belly. "I promise...take me home?" She asked as Piney leaned over and kissed the top of her head. "No problem Angel." He said as he started the truck and drove off toward the house.
Arriving at the house Piney went in first followed by Stefanie who looked to the door to see that while she was in the hospital that new locks had been put onto the doors. "New locks?" She asked as she placed her bag down on the couch as she watched Piney study the door. "Yeah...our idea." He said as Stefanie nodded her head. "I gotta get back to the club house...Jax and the guys will be back soon. Sure you don't wanna be there when they come home?" He asked as Stefanie sat down on the couch.
Shaking her head she looked up as Piney lingered in the doorway. "No, doctor's want me to rest...guess I gotta start going by their orders now." She said as she looked down at her stomach. "Almost lost this you know." She said as she ran her hands over her stomach. Piney nodded his head as he grabbed his keys. "Don't tell Jax I was in the hospital...let me. Let me know if you guys save Tara." Stefanie said as Piney nodded his head as he left her alone in the house.
Stefanie watched as Piney left her house and drove down the road. She really did want to be there when he got home with Abel in his arms. But now that Tara was still being held captive and the fact that she had spent another night in the hospital and that she almost lost the baby made her realize that she wanted to be here for the long run at things.
Peeling herself from the window she ended up walk into the bedroom as she gathered a change of clothes. Walking into the bathroom, Stefanie turned onthe hot water as she peeled off her clothes as she stepped und the hot spray of water.
Back at the Teller/Morrow garage Tig and Kozic stood around the pool table as they looked at all the options they had to try and save Tara. "Or we could let Salazar have her." Tig optioned as he took a swig of his beer. Kozic looked up as he questioned the SAMCRO member. "What are talking about...you said we would do everything till she's safe." He said as Tig put down his beer and looked at his enemy. "I was talking about Stefanie. My VP's old lady. Not the chick that got Abel taken and why the club is in Belfast getting him back. While I'm stuck here with you and not helping out my brothers. " He said as Kozic came around the table and stood in front of Tig. "You wanna go?" Tig asked as Kozic nodded his head as Tig grabbed Kozic by the scruff of the neck.
Piney walked in just in time to see the two men about to rip one another's head's off. "What are you two dicks doing?" He asked as Tig and Kozic turned their heads to stare at the old man. "They just pulled up...one of you explain to them the situation with the doctor and the other can explain why someone's "old lady" isn't here to greet them." Piney snapped as both Kozic and Tig let go of one another as they followed Piney out the door.
Both Kozic and Tig looked as they saw the Prospects finishing up the playground that they built as a surprise for Jax. Tig looked down as he adjusted the sunglasses on his face as he watched the van pull up with the remainder of the SAMCRO members inside as well as Gemma and Abel. "Here it goes." Tig said as him, Kozic and Piney approached the van as it came to a stop.
The first out of the van was Clay as he walked over and gave Tig a brotherly hug. "Brother...how's the situation here?" He asked as Tig shook his head and looked up. "Fine...we just gotta find a way to get Tara out without anyone getting hurt." He said as Clay nodded as he looked around at the awaiting faces. "Where's Stefanie?" He asked in an icy voice as Tig hesitated on the answer. "Uh..." he said as he looked over to see Jax get out of the van holding his infant son.
Tig walked over as he looked down at the sleeping infant. "He looks good Jax." He said as Jax looked up. "Yeah...what are we doing with Tara and Salazar?" He asked as Tig pointed to Kozic. "Talk to him...he's been on the situation all night." He said as Gemma came up behind Jax who was trying to not wake his sleeping son. "Where were you Tigger?" Gemma asked as Tig shrugged around and headed back toward the clubhouse.
Jax looked around to not seeing his girlfriend anywhere to be found to greet him and his son. "Where's Stefanie?" Jax asked as Clay walked toward them. "Piney said she's at home...don't worry got the prospects watching the house." He said as Jax looked at the men in front of him. "Why is she at the house?" He asked as Tig walked out and over to the group as he hung up the phone. "Unser says that apparently Salazar has Tara held hostage...cops are all over the street." He said as Jax nodded his head as he handed Abel over to Gemma. "Watch him for me. See if Stef's okay." He said as Gemma cradled Abel in her arms. "You got it. Be careful." He said as both Jax and Clay nodded their heads as they walked into the clubhouse.
Stefanie had been asleep for a few hours as she woke to hard bangs against her door. Sitting up straight she looked over to see that night had fallen as the banging continued. Getting up she walked over and pulled on a baggy SAMCRO sweatshirt as she picked up the gun from draw in her bureau as she walked out of the bedroom.
Walking down the hall she came to the window as she drew back the curtain and let out a sigh in relief as she saw Gemma's back. Unhitching the locks she opened the door to see Gemma turn around and smile. "Gemma." Stefanie said as she threw her arms around Gemma as she heard Gemma laugh. "Hey baby...how are you, you look a little banged up?" She questioned as Stefanie laughed lightly as she pulled back. "Cause' I sorta am." She said as Gemma took in the younger girl's appearance. "Shit...what happened?" Gemma asked as Stefanie shrugged as she played with the hem of the sweatshirt sleeve. "It's gotta do with the Tara situation." She said as Gemma nodded her head as she shook her head.
"Where's Abel?" Stefanie questioned as Gemma smiled. "Wanna see him?" She asked as Stefanie nodded as Gemma left the room quietly. Stefanie took in a deep breath as she looked over as Gemma carried in the baby. "Oh my..." Stefanie said as she quickly covered her mouth as tears sprang from her eyes as she took the baby into her arms. "Baby...hi" She said as she cradled him in her arms as she leaned down kissed his head. "Hi sweetie...never going to let you go." She said as Gemma watched the two with a smile on her face. "Jax know you're all bruised up?" She asked as Stefanie held Abel's little hand as she looked up at Gemma. "No" Stefanie said as she shook her head and took a seat on the couch.
Gemma sat opposite of her as Stefanie looked down and back up at Gemma. "Salazar...kidnapped Tara and me. I got a little mouthy and got hit over the head and woke up in an attic with Tara and myself tied to a pole. We were there for a few days I wasn't given any water and after that Tara negotiated that I be let go and after that I said some things and then I was thrown against a wall. I went to Unser after that and he took me to the hospital and that's where I woke up." Stefanie said as Gemma nodded as she took in what she had told her. "Basically it's a bunch of bumps and bruises. Just need to take it easy for a few days." She said as Gemma took in a breath as she looked at Stefanie who was smiling down at Abel as he slept in her arms.
Gemma got up as she walked over to her. "But your okay...everything is even the baby." She said as Stefanie looked at Gemma. "Yeah...baby's fine...came close though you know." She said as Gemma leaned over and hugged her quickly. "Okay enough with the drama...so I'm going to go get dinner ready for you and Jax. Why don't you go and in the nursery and bond with Abel." She said as Stefanie nodded her head as she carefully got up as she carefully carried Abel to the nursery so she wouldn't wake him.
Stefanie stared down at Abel as she fed him as she rocked back in forth in the rocking-chair that was in the corner of the room. Smiling down at him in her arms she didn't hear anyone walk in as she looked up to see Jax casually leaning against the doorframe. "Hey stranger." She said as Jax smiled as he limped over as Stefanie saw the cuts and bruises that lined his face.
"What happened?" She asked as Jax ran his thumb over his son's head. "Things got ugly as I got Tara out of the hostage situation." He said as Stefanie nodded her head as it was Jax's turn to see the bruises that were on her face and around her neck. "She okay?" She asked as Jax continued to look at her with concern. "She's fine... answering questions for Unser. Salazar won't be a problem anymore. What happened?" He asked as his hand cupped her cheek as Stefanie shook her head as she placed her free hand on his cheek. "Later okay." She said as Jax nodded his head as he looked into her eyes. "I love you." He said she smiled as she placed Abel bottle on the table as she leaned over so she was level with Jax. "I love you too. I'm so happy that both of you are home finally." She said as Jax wrapped his hand around the back of her neck as he brought her in for a long awaited kiss.
Gemma smiled at the three of them as she watched her son and future daughter in law embraced in a loving moment. At that moment she knew that she finally had their family back together.
