--Thirty Five--
--Chuck is on a Rampage--
After the baby shower was over, Samantha said her 'goodbyes' to everyone that showed up. Later on, she took Spencer and Holly to the airport, because they had to get back, and then Marty took Samantha and Jax back to her place, even all the gifts. It took four trips, back and forth, but they finally got everything into the baby's room.
Jax sat down on the couch and Samantha said "I'm going to go change... I'll be right back." he nodded, then she walked into her room. Samantha turned on her light, then gasped. "Chuck... you need to get out."
"We need to talk, Sam."
She shook her head and said "No, I don't need to hear anything you have to say. I heard enough at the hospital."
"Sam, I'm sorry." he got closer to her, but she backed away. "I didn't mean it... I was in shock about the baby, then when I heard Reid ask you if it was his... I lost it."
"Chuck, I'm sick and tired of trying to explain myself to you... but now, I'm done, for good."
"Sam..."
"Leave." Jax over heard some voices coming from her room, he got up and listened by the door. "It's over!"
"Sam... you don't mean that."
"Get the fuck out or I swear that you'll never see your daughter."
Chuck grabbed her arm and said "Will you let me explain?"
"Chuck, you're hurting me." she tried getting out of his grasp, but he held on tighter.
Once Jax heard Samantha cry in pain, he busted through the door, and punched Chuck in the jaw. He pushed Samantha behind him. Chuck was struggled to get off the ground. When he did, he grabbed his cheek, wincing in pain.
"You ever touch her again... I will kill you." Jax threatened him, trying not to lose his cool and end up killing Chuck where he stood. "I haven't forgot about what you did to me, so for your sake... you better stay the fuck away from her or nobody will ever find your body."
Then a few minutes later, Chuck left. When Jax knew he was gone, he went back into Samantha's room. She was sitting on her bed crying. He wrapped his arms around her, and said "Are you okay?" she shook her head. "He's gone."
She looked up at Jax and said "Don't leave me."
"I won't... I'll stay as long as you want me to. Just like I told you before. But, Sam... can you do something for me?" she nodded. "Can you calm down a little bit? Blair told me about your stress issues and I need you to relax and calm down."
"Okay." she said softly.
"I'm here and I'm not leaving. Get changed and I'll wait right here."
She got up slowly and went into her bathroom, while Jax locked her door. She came out five minutes later, wearing a tank top and capri pajama bottoms. She laid down on her bed, looked over at Jax, and said "Can you stay with me?"
He nodded and said "I'm not going anywhere." he smiled at her as he was taking off his shoes. Jax took off his vest, flannel, and jeans. He laid down next to Samantha and gave her a kiss on her shoulder blade.
"I'm glad you're here."
"Me too."
"Jax?"
"Yeah?"
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, Babe." she smiled, then cuddled into his arms and fell asleep.
The next morning, Samantha woke up to an empty bed. She looked around and it was only her in the room. Seconds later, she smeeled food coming from the kitchen. She put on her robe and walked out of her room.
"Hey..." she said, rubbing her eyes.
"Good morning, Beautiful."
"Morning." she yawned, then walked closer to see what he was cooking. "That smells good."
"Thanks, all of it will be done in a few minutes. So, go sit down on the couch and I'll bring it to you."
"Okay." she said, then sat on the couch and put her feet up on the coffee table. Samantha sat there, replaying the events that occured the night before, plus the other times she's encountered Chuck. She got pulled out of her thoughts, when Jax came into the living room with a tray in his hands.
"You are going to love this." he said, setting the tray over her belly.
Samantha saw all the food and said "Thank you."
He smiled at her and said "Your welcome."
"I love blueberry pancakes. You remembered?"
He sat down next to her and said "Of course... I remember. How could I forget?"
She just smiled and started eating, while Jax turned on the tv. When she was finished, Jax took the tray and put it on the coffee table. He turned the tv off, then looked over at Samantha.
She saw the serious look on his face and said "What's up?"
"There's something I've been meaning to talk to you about."
She nodded and said "What is it, Jax?" she could tell he was struggling with it, then as he opened his mouth to talk, the elevator doors opened. Blair and Nate stepped out, Jax closed his mouth, and sat back on the couch. "Hey." Samantha said, with a smile. But, her smiled faded, when she saw the looks on both their faces. "What's going on, guys?"
"It's Chuck." Blair said, sitting on the other side of her.
Samantha sighed and said "What did he do now?"
"First... what happened to him? He has a fat lip."
"He was here, when we got back from taking Spencer and Holly to the airport. He grabbed my arm, it hurt, then Jax punched him, and made him leave."
"He deserved it." Jax said, crossing his arms on his chest.
"What did he do now?" Samantha asked again.
"It's not what he did... it's what he's gonna do." Nate said, looking down.
"What do you mean?"
"Two things...." Blair started. "Chuck is going to do what you told him not to do." Samantha looked at Blair with a confused look on her face. "Whatever it is... it has to do with Pogue, Caleb, Reid, and..."
"Tyler." Nate said, finishing Blair's sentence.
"They have some kind of secret and Chuck is hell bent on finding out what it is."
Samantha's eyes went wide. "Their power." she thought to herself. Then, she shook her head and said "Oh no." Samantha paused to take a deep breath. "I'll get a hold of the guys and let them know... what's the other thing?"
Blair put her hands on Samantha's belly and said "He has vowed... as soon as the baby is born, he is going to do everything in his power to take the baby away from you."
"Why is he doing this?"
Nate leaned on the other couch and said "I've never known Chuck to be this pissed off, but he is."
Samantha stood up and said "I need to talk to Chuck."
"Not right now, your blood pressure." said Blair. "Besides, you wouldn't be able to talk to him anyway. Nobody knows where he is."
"Then I need to talk to Reid."
Blair stood in front of her and said "Sam... you need to calm down or you'll end up back in the hospital." Samantha took a few breaths. "You and Jax should go and meet up with the guys and warn them. Me, S, and Nate will be there later on tonight."
Samantha nodded and said "Okay." then she went to get dressed in her room.
"How serious is this?" asked Jax.
"Well." Blair started. "It's basically the same way, how Chuck got you busted. He has unlimited resources for anything he needs."
"Mainly because he's a Bass." Nate added.
Jax stood up and said "Okay, well... I don't care if he is the babys father. He's not going to get a chance to take her away from Samantha."
Blair nodded and said "No... he's not."
Ten minutes later, Samantha came out of her room wearing blue jeans, a white tank top, and white Vans. She looked over at Jax and said "Can you grab my bag on the bed?"
"Yeah." then he went into her room, brought out her bag, then went into the guest room.
She grabbed her purse from the counter and said "I swear, if Jax doesn't kill Chuck... I'll kill him myself."
Blair put her hand on Samantha's shoulder and said "Not if I get there first... and you need to calm down, Mama."
Samantha nodded, then sat down. "So... where's Serena?"
"Trying to find Chuck." said Nate.
"Oh... how am I gonna get there? I gave Marty the day off."
"In your car." Nate smiled.
"Oh... right. I forgot I had a car." she giggled to herself. "Okay, that works."
"And even though Marty has a day off, we told him about what's going on, and he's going to watch your place... till we get back." said Blair, with a smile.
Samantha nodded, then said "How did it all come to this? Why is this happening?"
Blair gave Samantha a hug and said "I don't know, but Chuck has to be stopped."
Five minutes later, Jax came out with his luggage. Samantha looked at him and said "What's all this?"
"Um... in case we stay over night or something." he said, looking away. "Where's your car?"
"In the parking garage."
"Let's go." Blair said, walking to the elevator first. Seconds later, all of them piled in. "What's the number?"
"Parking garage number four." Samantha said.
"Okay." Blair said, pressing the 'PG4' button.
"Ow..." Samantha grabbed her side.
"What's wrong?" asked Blair.
"Oh... nothing. She's just kicking me hard, that's all."
Jax reached over and put his hand on her belly. Samantha studied Jax's reaction as she felt the baby kick again. She saw a bit of sadness and regret as he dropped his hand and looked away. Then, the elevator doors opened and Samantha walked out first. She had the key clicker and pressed the button to reveal where her car was, because she didn't remember where it was parked. The lights flashed to the left, then she pressed the button to unlock the car and opened the trunk.
While Jax was putting the stuff in the car, Nate gave Samantha a hug and said "You drive careful."
"I will." then she gave Blair a hug. "See you later, I guess."
"Yep... I'll text you and let you know when we're on the way."
"Okay." she nodded.
"Bye, guys." Jax waved. "Thanks for flying me out here."
"No problem." Blair smiled.
Then as Nate and Blair was walking back to the elevator, Samantha and Jax got in her car, then she drove out of the parking garage, jumped on the freeway, and headed back to Ipswich, Massachusetts.
