{Hello everyone. Please continue to review, favorite and follow it all means a lot to me. I do not own the Sons of Anarchy only my own character(s) and anything else that you do not recognize.}

It had been about a week since Happy took Cameron and Cherry to Ireland. The thing was that he never came home to me. His mother's condition had become worse so, instead I had come home to find a bouquet of tiger lily's sitting on the desk in my bedroom. The thought that he hadn't at least forgotten me had eased my pain about his disappearance but, at the same time a little bubble of anger settled in the pit of my stomach. I had finished in the office for the day and was heading over to the bar so that I could tell both Gemma and Clay that I was going home. The heels on my boots clicked across the pavement and the door squeaked as I pulled it open. A burst of laughter filled the room at something that Tig had said and I could just imagine what it was about. Clay walked out of the church and told everyone about what Otto had done for both me and Luann and how bad Stahl's face was after. "Oh I love that man!" Tig laughed after the news had been revealed

"Trying to prove to the club he wasn't gonna give anything up. We're clear of the ATF ladies and germs!" Clay exclaimed

Cheers erupted through the room and Gemma got up from the table to talk to Clay. Before she reached him though she placed a hand on my shoulder, "You done for the day?" She asked me

"Yeah I just thought I would let you know. I sent Lowell home for the day and locked up."

"Okay, before you go home can you go get Jax please, he is in his dorm."

I nodded my head and walked past her to the hall. I gave a light knock on Jax's door, "Jax? It's Savannah. Gemma wants you to come out and see her."

I could hear some paper being ruffled about before the door opened to a smiling Jax. He stepped out into the hall "Thanks. You headed home?" He asked me as he locked his door behind him.

"For now yeah."

"Is something the matter lately?" He asked as we walked down the hall.

Besides the anxious feeling about my daughter and Happy was what I wanted to say to him. "Just been a busy wee-" I started to explain but a loud sound erupted from the entrance cutting me off

I turned and looked down the hall with Jax and I could see people running around. Not being able to tell exactly what was going on, both me and Jax walked to the end of the hall. Someone grabbed my shoulder roughly and I felt a loud pop in my shoulder as I was slammed to the floor. I grunted in pain and Jax called out for me reaching out to grab me but, someone else grabbed him slamming him into the wall. It wasn't long until they had all of us pinned to the ground. Stahl came in with a smug look on her face. "Robert Munson you're under arrest for the murder of Brennan Hefner." A cop spoke loudly above the noise in the room

I looked over to see Bobby being cuffed, "Who?" He asked confused

"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law." The cop started to read off Bobby's right

"I'll call Rosen Bobby, you just sit tight." Clay called out to him

Stahl kicked Clay for talking and Gemma spoke out furiously, "Hey Bitch!"

Gemma spat at her and Stahl kicked her in the stomach as well. Gemma fell back to the ground in pain, "Gemma! Leave her alone you stupid bitch!" I cursed at her

Stahl stalked towards me and glared down at me. "Do you want to share in the family love to sweetheart?"

When I didn't immediately reply she leaned closer to me and whispered just loud enough for me to hear, "Didn't think so. I will be seeing you later."

Stahl looked around smugly and after Bobby had been taken out she called out to everyone else in the room to let us go. Jax helped me up and I gripped my shoulder in pain, "You all right?" Jax asked

I rotated my arm and felt a sharp pain, "Yeah I just think I pulled a muscle."

I squeezed Jax's arm in reassurance. "I want everyone in church now!" Clay growled

I went into the kitchen to place a pack of ice on my shoulder. I leaned against the counter and let my head fall backwards. What did she mean that she would see me later? Would I need to keep my guard up now. It seemed like my life was just getting more complicated by the second. I reached into my pocket and pulled out my phone dialing a number I had come to memorize. It rang three times before the machine picked up and his gruff voice filled my ears. "I'm away, leave a message."

Short and sweet and to the point, it was just like him. I waited for the beep before I lost the nerve and hung up. We hadn't talked at all since that day and though I have called him a few times, he has never picked up. I looked down at the screen of my phone and the number that was still on it. "Is your shoulder okay?" Clay's voice echoed through the room

Had I really been in here that long that the men had already gotten out of church? "Yeah, just some minor pain. It will go away. Is there anything I can do?" I replied

"No, you best just go home for now."

I nodded my head and walked back to the fridge to replace the ice. I gave Clay a side hug as I walked past him. I was just putting my keys into the door when Gemma called out to me from the office, "Hey baby can you run back into the bar and grab me the bill paperwork for Jax's house. It should be by Juice's computer."

I nodded my head and pulled my keys from the door. The lot seemed rather empty and I noticed most of the bikes were missing. I walked back into the bar but, I didn't see anyone. I walked behind the bar to Juice's computer and reached over to the pile of paperwork beside it. As my arm brushed by the computer the screen lit up. As I was pulling the paperwork over towards me I glanced down at the screen in passing. My feet froze in place as I noticed what was up on the screen. I placed the paperwork down again and leaned into the computer. It seems that Opie's finances were pulled up on the screen, the even weirder part was that the transaction history was pulled up and highlighted was a section that said Federal wire transfer. I looked around me to make sure no one else was around. I moved through the open tabs on the computer. It wasn't just Opie's bank account that was pulled up. Dona's was to along with their mortgage and car payments. Why would they be looking into Opie like this? What was going on? "I've just got to go grab my computer, everything should be loaded up by now." I heard Juices voice as it traveled down the hall.

"Shit." I swore under my breath

I was smart enough to know that this is something I was not allowed to know about. I quickly shut the computer and unplugged it. When Juice came into the room I had the computer shut and the cord in my hand. He looked at me confused and I plugged the cord back in. "Hey sorry, Gemma asked me to grab some paperwork and I pulled the cord out by accident." I hurried to come up with some excuse

Juice let out a sigh and smiled at me. He walked over to my side and placed a hand on my back. "Don't worry about it. I was coming to get it anyways."

Juice reached around me and grabbed the computer and after a quick smile at me disappeared once more. I honestly didn't want to wait a second longer to be caught and I took off towards the office. I slipped Gemma her paperwork as she was on the phone and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before I left for home. This made no sense. As I armed my car I pulled my phone out and placed it against my ear. When it went to voice mail again, a sigh escaped my parted lips. "Hey, something serious is going on. You need to call me back, I think they are picking us off-" I started to record

"I need you to put the phone down Savannah and come with me." A sickening familiar voice said from behind me

I turned to face the person talking to me to find Stahl standing beside a black SUV. "Sorry, I've got to go." I spoke through the phone

I walked down the stairs and down the sidewalk towards her. Clay wasn't joking when he said that Otto had done a number on her face."Nice face. What can I help you with? Or are you here to frame me again?"

"No, I'm here to take you to our department of justice facility."

"Am I under arrest?"

"No." She told me

I scoffed, "Then tell me why I would willingly go with you to some facility."

"Because I think Stella would like to see her mommy."

My eyes grew wide and I gritted my teeth together. I looked around me quickly before I hoped into the vehicle. The car ride was quiet as we drove to our destination. I gripped my bag tight in my hands and stared out the window. The only thoughts going through my mind were what Stahl was doing with my daughter and why she was dangling this visit in front of me. What was her end game? When we arrived at the building an agent came and rushed me into the building. "You will have forty eight hours with your daughter as we keep you detained her for questioning."

"What? I thought you said that I wasn't under arrest?" I asked as we stopped in front of a green door.

"Technically you're not, you and your daughter are under our protection and while you stay here, I would like to ask you the odd questions."

"Why are we under protection? No one is going to hurt us?" I asked defensively

Stahl's hand that was hanging on the doorknob fell limp at her side and she took a step towards me. "You honestly don't think that one of those boys that you believe are family wouldn't harm you or threaten your child? That's what you want to bring your daughter into?"

I bit my lip to hide my retort. All Stahl did was give me a snide smile and point at my bag. "Agent Marcus will take your bag and you will receive it back when you leave."

I glared at the Agent beside me who had his hand out for my bag before I let it go. "Good girl." Stahl said as she opened up the door.

In the room stood Dona and her two children along with another agent. But, my eyes were drawn straight to my three year old daughter sat on the floor with a pile of blocks and her hair pulled back into a braid. She looked up when she heard the door open and I stepped into the room. When she saw me her eyes lit up and she pushed herself up as she tried to run towards me screaming out mama. I dropped to my knees encircling my arms around her and pulling her into me. "I'll leave you two alone for a while but, I will be back to have our little discussion." Stahl said from behind me as she left the room

I pulled Stella back away from me so that I could see her better. I placed my hands on either side of her face and kissed her on the forehead. Stella placed her tiny hands on my face squishing them slightly. I leaned my forehead against hers and gave her a smile. "I missed you so much baby."

It was taking everything I had to hold back my tears. She was looking more like me every time I saw her. I pulled Stella onto my lap and she wrapped her legs around my waist and leaned her head against my shoulder. I place one hand on her back and one on her head as I kissed her head several time. Enjoying the feeling of Stella's tiny body in my own. The room was silent for a few more minutes until I looked around to see everyone looking at us. Dona gave me a comforting smile and called her kids attention to her to give us some privacy. I pulled back from Stella and looked her in the eyes, "How's my baby?"

"Good Mama, come play with me?" Stella beamed at me and stood up, tugging on my hand.

I stood up and allowed her to pull me back to blocks she was at earlier.

~~SOA~~

Stella had gone to play with Dona's daughter in the ball pit and I took the opportunity to stand up and walk over to Dona. She was standing off to the corner and looking more worried than ever. Judging from her nail biting and constant movement she didn't have any idea why she was here. "You got a daughter?" Dona asked to avoid thinking of the situation she was in

"She is going on four in a month. I don't see her often." I explained in a whisper

"You must cherish these moments then. Do you mind me asking why?"

I leaned against the wall and looked down at my fingers, "I wasn't ready to be mom and I didn't understand the responsibilities. But, once I had her, I was ready to smarten up for her but I made that decision to late. My aunt had her taken from me and gave her to a friend of hers as a temporary custody. Until I could prove to the courts that I was suitable and stable enough to be a parent I could only ever see her on the consent of her guardians. But, because of my drug habit, it wasn't very often. Every time it would get harder and harder and I would turn to the only escape I knew of."

"When can you go back to court?"

"Six months."

"Are you prepared for that? Have you told anyone?"

"I don't think I will ever be fully prepared but, I want to be the best mother I can be to her. I can't keep doing this in and out thing with her all the time. It just going to hurt her. Either I'm fully in or fully out and I haven't told anyone but you and Luann this so I know my next step is to tell my family. I just don't know how they will take it."

Silence filled the room again as we watched over our kids. "I think you would make a fine mother and I think as long as you're willing to take on the responsibility and help that others will offer. I think Clay and Gemma will be okay with it."

I chuckled quietly to myself and stuffed my hands into my pockets. Only a few more minutes passed by until the door opened and Stahl walked through. Seeing her chance Dona stood to face Stahl head on before she could say anything, "Tell me what the hell is going on?"

"See if the kids want some ice cream?" Stahl told the agent

"Sure." The agent smiled at us

"Is that okay with you two?" Stahl asked us

"Hey kids, go with the lady. Hey Kenny come on! Go with the lady okay? She gonna get you some ice cream." Dona answered

I nodded my head to say that I was okay with it. But, when the agent went to help Stella out of the ball pit Stella looked up to me in a panic. "Mama!" She screamed

The agent backed away and I smiled at my daughter. I went and knelt down at the ball pit picking her up and placing her down in front of me. I smooth out her dress and gripped her hands in mine. "Don't worry baby, this lady is just going to get you ice cream. Then you will come right back to me okay? I promise."

Stella still seemed unsure so she held out her pinky to me. I smiled and wrapped my pink around hers. "Now, you be good for the lady okay?"

Stella nodded her head and wrapped her arms around me tightly before holding her hand out for the lady to take. I watched as the left before I stood up to join Dona. "Seems like she is quite attached to you." Stahl commented

I crossed my arms across my chest, "What can I say, she loves her mom."

"Well hopefully you guys can be with each other all the time." Stahl said almost sarcastically

Both me and Dona sat down with Stahl. When Stahl realized that I wasn't going to reply she faced Dona. "You recently paid three months of back mortgage on your house in cash. Where did it come from?" Stahl asked Dona

Dona didn't answer and Stahl took a deep frustrated breath, "You spent it. You fed your kids on it, how was it earned?"

"I don't know, I didn't ask." Dona replied leaving no room for dispute

"You know Dona your family is falling apart and Savannah your trying to get yours back. Now, I want to help you-" Stahl tried using the sympathetic approach

"Don't pretend like you give a shit about my family or hers." Dona said cutting her off

"We arrested Bobby Elvis for murder, a witness I.D'd him and this man." Stahl told us and slid a picture across the table to us.

I looked down at the sketch to see what looked like to be Opie. "I don't think that Opie pulled the trigger but, he was there." Stahl told us

I clenched my hands, this was her plan? An attempt to get one of us to rat on a member. Dona didn't deny that it was Opie in the sketch and she asked, "Is he going back to jail?"

You could hear the fear that was in her voice, "Not yet no but, the U.S attorney hasn't released the name of the witness and as far as SAMCRO is concerned, only one person saw Bobby commit that murder...Opie. That's why you're here for your own protection."

My eyes shot up from the sketch to Stahl's smug face. I connected the dots between what I saw on Juice's computer and why Dona and her kids were here. "You're setting him up." I accused

Stahl ignored my statement and continued on, "Clay and his crew think that Opie has turned."

"Oh god." Dona exclaimed placing her head between her hands

"Do you have any idea what these guys do to a rat?" Stahl asked

"This is bullshit, they would be doing anything or thinking anything if you didn't set him up like this!" I shouted

"No, Jax would let anything happen to Opie. They've known each other since they were kids." Dona defended

"Well, I certainly hope that Jax has enough pull to make that happen. Because I can only protect him for one more day. Without my help this thing goes one of two ways, Opie is in prison or he is dead." Stahl explained after sending me a glare clearly telling me to shut up

After a moment's hesitation Dona asked, "When can I see my husband?"

"I can take you to him right now, maybe you could get through to him."

Dona nodded and stood up going straight for the door. Stahl collected the papers and opened the door, "Just wait out here for a second."

Stahl closed the door and looked back at me. "I want you to take this time and think about what I could do for you and Stella. I could get her to you faster than those six months but, I can also make it look bad in court. Remember that."

I didn't get the chance to say anything before she walked out. The tears finally broke through and I pulled my knees up to my chest. The only thing I could think of was how much I needed my daughter and how much I needed Happy to help me work through this without just ignoring my phone calls.

~~SOA~~

My time with Stella was up. She had barely left my side the hole time we were together. Opie's mother came to gather Dona's kids and Dona stayed around waiting for Opie and kept me company in the meantime. I was laying with Stella on the floor as I played with her beautiful blonde hair. She had curled up into my neck, I was pretty sure that she knew that our time together was going to be up soon. I watched the clock ticked down each second and with every passing second my heartstrings were being tugged on. The door opened behind me and I knew it was time to go. "Savannah?"

I sat up pulling Stella with me as I turned to the voice. There stood her guardian, my aunt's friend Valerie. When Stella saw her there her hands gripped onto me tightly. I scooped her up in my arms and placed her on my legs. I placed my forehead against hers and her watery blue eyes immediately broke my heart. A few tears fell down my cheeks with hers doing the same. I pushed hers away though and smiled comfortingly at her. "Okay Stella. Aunt Val is here to bring you back to your home."

"But, I wanna stay with you."

A choked gasp came from me but, I hid it by placing a kiss to her forehead. "I will see you again, I promise. Next time you see me, I will never leave you again. You will come home with me and I will never leave you again."

To make her feel better I stuck my pinky out to her. Her chin shook as she cried harder but, she wrapped her tiny pinky around mine. I placed a lingering kiss to her forehead and held her close to my heart again. "Remember Stella, I am always in your heart and I will never leave you behind."

This was something that I had come to tell her over the last couple years. It was something that would instantly calm her down. "Okay Stella we got to go." Valerie called out to her

I looked over to Val and gave her a smile. "Take good care of her." I told her

I let go of Stella and she took Val's hand allowing her to pull her out. With one last look over her shoulder my baby was gone once more. I stood up to meet up with Dona and we left. It wasn't long until we met up with Opie who wrapped his arm around his wife and guided us out of the building. As we were reaching the front of the building Stahl caught up with us. Attempt once more to convince any of us to speak up."You know that I will be picking you up again Op. Once they put this case together you will be tried for murder."

Opie kept his head straight as he continued to guide us forward. "I guess I will see you then." was his only reply

"Going back to the club is a mistake it puts you and your family at risk."

"I can protect my family." Opie snapped

Stahl grabbed onto Dona's arm causing her to stop, "Do you honestly believe that? Huh? You need to start thinking about your kids. Dona what kind of a mother are you going to be?" Stahl made one last attempt with her

Dona's jaw clenched before she replied, "The kind that doesn't bail on her family."

We all started to walk away again, "What about you Savannah? What about Stella? Do you think you will be a good mother bringing her into this life."

I didn't even need to look at her to know what I was going to say. "She is my daughter and I will always protect her. Your empty threats mean nothing to me or my family."

With that we all walked out of the god forsaken building heading straight for home.
