Hi, everyone!

I'm back! I'm so SORRY for the long delay, but I had a really close friend of mine lose his battle against cancer. Cancer sucks!

On another note, I finally found the time, and the mood to write again! I hope you enjoy this chapter. Thanks for those of you who DMed me, to ask it'd I was OK. Thanks for the follows, and favorites. Don't forget to review.

Till next time, take care!

The sound of shots being fired awaken, Emma. She winces in pain as she slowly sits up. She scoots over towards the broken mirror. Grabbing a piece of broken glass, she cuts the rope around her wrists and begins to untie the rope around her ankles. She slowly gets to her feet, as she makes it to the door she notices that it is locked. "I'm in here!" She bangs on the door. She hears Chibs voice. "Chibby! I'm in here! Please, get me out of here!"

As Chibs shoots two men guarding a door, Emma's voice is heard coming from the other side. "Emma." He whispers to himself. Shots are heard coming from behind him. He turns to look what was going on and notices Alvarez shooting a man that was coming up from behind of Chibs. Chibs nods his head in appreciation for Alvarez's help. "Thanks."

"No problem, esse." Alvarez walks up to Chibs, and pats him on his arm.

"I heard Emma. She must be in that room." They both walk up towards the door. "Emma?!" Chibs yells out.

"Chibby! Hurry! Get me out of here!" She steps back and sees Chibs and Alvarez run into the room.

"Emma. My love." Chibs eyes fill with tears to see a badly beaten Emma.

Emma stands there, and looks at Alvarez, without saying a word she nods her head, and turns to look at Chibs. She smiles, and runs into Chibs arms. "I've missed you so much, Filip! I love you!"

Chibs carries Emma in his arms as he places a kiss on her temple. "I love ye, to lass. Let's get you home."

TELLER-MORROW

Gemma and Tara see the boys rolling into the garage. They both run towards the van, where Emma is in. "Sweetheart." Gemma quickly opens the door. Her breath gets caught in her throat as she lays eyes on Emma. "Jesus Christ. What have they done to you?" Tears threaten to escape Gemma's eyes, she helps Emma out the van.

Tara rushes to Emma's other side and wraps her arm around her waist. "We should really get you to St. Thomas."

"No!" Emma and Gemma say in union.

"I appreciate your concern, doc. But, you know how it works, in this 'world' of ours. No hospitals. Plus you're a great doctor. I trust you will get me back to my normal self, without the help of other fucking doctors." Emma looks at Tara, and smirks. "You know something I've actually missed our little talks." She chuckles and winces in pain. "Don't make me laugh." She turns to look at Gemma. "After we are down, patching me up. I want to go see my godfather."

Gemma's eyes go wide. She looks away as she clears her throat. "If Tara, says it's fine for you to travel, after she's done with you. Then we shall see. First let's get you back to normal."

Two hours later...

As Emma lays on Jax's bed, in his down room, Chibs walks in. "How are you feeling? Love." He sits by the edge of the bed, and takes her hand in his. "Never have I've been more afraid of losing ye, then today." He looks down at her, as tears fill his eyes. "I love ye, Emma. I really do."

"I love you more, Filip. Always have. The whole Alvarez thing was just that. A thing. I'm over it. Plus, I always went to him, when you would find a way to hurt me. I guess in a way, Alvarez made me feel better. But... He couldn't keep you out of my mind or my heart." Emma slowly sits up and places a kiss on Chibs lips. "I love you with all that I got."

Chibs cups her face, as he gazes into her eyes. "Yer, all mine lass. And I'm all yours. Once things calm down around here. I'll let everyone know that we are together and that I want you to be my wife."

Emma smiles. "Your wife?" She throws her arms around him and hugs him tight. "I'd love to be your wife! Your old lady!" She pulls away. "Take me to see my godfather. He would love to hear this."

"Piney?"

"Yea. He knows about us. I told him, I just felt like I had to tell someone. I know he would keep it to himself. I trust him, he's been a great father figure. He'll be so excited to walk me down the aisle."

"When ye tell him about us? What did he say? Was he upset?" Chibs looks down at his hands, as he takes a deep breath.

Emma slightly giggles. "I told him a few days ago. I also told him about how I felt about Alvarez. All Piney said was that I had to decide who I wanted to be with. He wasn't upset, at all. That's why, I think it's only fair if we go see him, together." She lifts Chibs chin up and looks into his eyes.

"Alright, let's go see the old man. While we are there I'll ask him for your hand in marriage." He winks at her, as he smiles. "My future wife."

They passionately kiss. Emma pulls away, breaking the kiss. "We should go, now. Or this will lead to something else. Then we'll never go anywhere!" They chuckle, as they get up.

At the cabins...

Chibs knocks on the door. "Piney, it's Chibs and Emma!" He tries looking into the window. "Where are ye old man?"

Emma looks for the spare key and begins to unlock the door. "He probably drank himself to sleep." She giggles as she opens the door. "Godfather! Wha..." Her heart drops to her feet. A wave of pain shoots through her. She immediately drops to her feet and crawls over to the dead cold body. "Noooo! Godfather, WHO DID THIS TO YOU?!" She looks up at Chibs, who is still standing at the for in shock. "Who would do this to him?! And WHY?!" She cradles Piney's body in her arms, as she places a kiss on his cheek. As the tears flow down her cheeks, she tries to pull herself together but instead let's out a scream of agony. She holds on tight to Piney's kutte. "Don't leave me!"

Chibs snaps out of his state of shock and runs over to Emma. "C'mon lass, we have to call the others."

"No! I'm not leaving him! You call everyone! I'll stay here with my godfather."

"Love, this isn't good for you. Step outside with me..."

"God damn it! I said no, Filip!" She runs a hand through Piney's hair. "I'll find out who did this to you. I promise!" She looks up at Chibs. "I don't think I'm ready to let him go. Not now!"

Chibs feels a knot forming in his throat. "I'm sorry, love." He slowly walks out the cabin as he pulls out his phone and calls Clay. "Clay. I came to the cabins with Emma. Piney. He's dead. Looks like someone shot him."
