{Hey guys I am finally back here is your new updated chapter with Christmas here I am a little busy but I'm trying to get as many chapters as I can out as quick as I can. I do not own Sons of Anarchy only my own characters and anything else you do not recognize}

A lot of things had happened in the time where I had disappeared. A lot of missed phone calls an d texts and if it wasn't for Tig I wouldn't know what was even going on. Chibs was in the hospital at the moment from being blown up and Luann, god bless her soul was found on the side of a highway beaten to death. When Tig told me about Luann I didn't know her well enough yet but I still felt angry at what happened. Someone was targeting us, and I was glad that I didn't have Stella with me at the moment. With everything going on I wanted to go and see everyone the day before I picked up my daughter. I didn't want to bring her home if this was all still going on. So, first stop was Chibs and as my heels clicked across the floor, I became nervous. I didn't know what to get him for get well so I did the only thing I could, I picked up a bottle of rum and a card. I knew the hospital wouldn't let me bring it in if they saw it so, I snuck it in my purse. I knocked on the door and Chibs voice came through the door, "Come in."

I opened the door and peaked in to see just Chibs in his bed with his bandage around his head but at least he still looked happy. "Hey Chibs, what did you do? Get lost in a crow eaters legs?" I laughed as I pushed the door closed

He rolled his eyes at me, but his smile didn't falter, "Ha, ha. Been a while since I seen you lass."

I sat on the edge of the bed, "Yes I've been doing lots of stuff in preparation for Stella, I thought I would come back a day early and make sure everything was okay. I wanted to see you first, I was worried when I was told about your…accident." I told him

He grabbed my hand in his, "Don't worry about me lass just a bump to the head, Tara said I should be out by today or tomorrow."

I snuck my hand in my bag with a mischievous smile and said. "Well I guess I came just in time."

He grabbed the bottle from me as I held it out to him. I could tell by the look on his face that he was happy. "Thank you, just what I needed." He placed it on the table beside him

He opened his arms for a hug, so I leaned forward to give him one. He gave me a gentle kiss on the cheek. "Did you hear about Luann?"

I looked down at the floor as I moved my foot around, "Yeah, its unfortunate no one should die like that. Luanne especially."

He must have seen the worry in my face and he grabbed my hand in his. The warmth was father like and foreign to me. "What is it?"

A tear slipped from my eye, "I'm worried about bringing Stella home with all this going on but, if I don't my aunt will know something is up. She will take Stella from me again."

He gave my hand a tug and I looked at him, "Nah lass everything will be okay. We will take care of you nothing will come to harm you or your little one."

Pain tugged at my heart as I thought about what me and Gemma went through a couple weeks ago. They couldn't protect us then and if he thought they had protect us then Gemma hadn't told anyone about what happened. I sniffled and pushed my anger aside and leaned forward giving him a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you Chibs."

He smiled at me, "Don't worry about it. You need anything you know where I will be."

"Do you know where I could find Gemma?" I asked as I was about to walk out of the room

"I think she was telling me that she was going to the shooting range with Tara." He replied

I nodded my head and left him the whiskey and walked out of the hospital. I hoped into the car and drove to the shooting range. I had no idea what Tara was doing there as I could never see her with a gun but, I didn't care. If anyone deserved to know that it was okay, it was Gemma. After all I did disappear that night without explanation and I have ignored more of her calls and texts than anyone else. She wouldn't believe my lies. I pulled up to the shooting range and could hear the guns going off. The nice thing about this shooting range is it was privately owned in the country, so the cops didn't bug us, and it was only for SOA members. I looked in my bag to make sure my gun was in and left my car, locking it. I walked towards them, I saw Gemma with her arms around Tara guiding her to making a perfect shot. "You need to square you shoulders more and take even breaths so that you don't shake."

They hadn't heard me yet, so I thought I would show Tara how to do it. That's the only thing I learned from my mother before she died. I was young, but she believed that I needed to know how to protect myself in this world, especially when no one else was there. I pulled my gun out and choose the target beside them, so I wouldn't hurt either of them. I focused on my target and took a deep breath to steady my aim and as I pulled the trigger I exhaled. I hit my target dead on and at the sudden gun shot Tara pulled the trigger in surprise and both girls turned to face me. Gemma was still angry when she saw it was me, "You! Where have you been, I have been trying to get a hold of you for two weeks now. And don't give me that bullshit that you were with Stella." Gemma said as she stormed up to me

I put my gun away and smiled at her, holding my arms open "I'm sorry Gemma, I needed to get clean on my own I didn't want dad or Happy to see me like that. I couldn't risk losing anyone I loved besides, with everything that has gone on it seems like a good thing that I wasn't around to add to the trouble."

She gave me the hug I needed, and she didn't immediately let go. "So, you did this on your own?"

I bit my lip, I couldn't tell her about Tig. I had to keep his secret just like he would keep mine. "Yeah, it was harder on my own but, I did it. I have to pick up Stella tomorrow but, I thought I would show my face first."

"Happy has been on the rampage looking for you Savannah." Tara told me

I fumbled my fingers, "Yeah I know."

Gemma pulled away from me and looked me over, "Well you look better," she turned to look over at Tara, "Listen, keep practicing I gotta talk to Savannah right now."

Tara was hesitant but turned away from us as Gemma led me a little bit away. "How are you holding up Gemma?" I asked her once we were away from Tara

"I've been better but, I didn't want to talk to you about that. I figured out who has done this to us."

My eyes grew wide, "You have? That's great have you told dad?"

Gemma eyes darted around, "No I haven't, and neither will you. It isn't the time with Luann and Chibs."

"Oh my god was the bomb with Chibs them to? Who is doing this Gemma?"

"Zobelle's crew is. I recognized his voice, didn't you? Not to mention the tattoo on his neck."

I thought back to that night to realize that she was right his voice sounded exactly like -. Anger grew in me, how dare they do this just because they didn't want the club selling to colour. Who the hell did they think they were! My fist curled, and a growl rumbled from my chest, fucking bastards, they were going to pay. I didn't give Gemma an answer I just turned around walked towards my car. "Savannah what are you doing?" Gemma called after me

"Don't worry about it." I replied over my shoulder

"Don't you do anything, we got enough shit!" she continued to yell at me

I waved at her as I hoped into my car. As I reversed my vehicle as I thought of what I was going to do tonight as the only thoughts that went through my head was angry ones. I had one stop to make before I probably made the stupidest mistake of my life.

~~SOA~~

I pulled up to the clubhouse and smiled with all the greetings that I had got. It seemed that I was missed but there was one face that I had yet to see, Happy's. I walked into the bar and slapped a hand to the back of Tig's back as I sat on the stool beside him waving down the prospect behind the counter, "Coffee, black please."

I looked around the room and still didn't see Happy. "He is in the dorm room, last I saw." Tig told me

I looked back at him guiltily. "I've ignored him so long I wasn't sure if I would see him." I told him as I grabbed my coffee from the prospect.

Tig brought his beer to his lips and looked around to make sure that no one was near by. "Good to see you out and about. Feeling better?"

"I still feel sick but otherwise I am good. Its good to finally be out of the hotel room."

Tig grunted, "Good…less questions." He mumbled but I could see the hint of a smile tugging at him lips

I laughed genuinely but my heart stopped when Happy gruff voice filled the room, "I knew it."

I whipped around in my stool to face him, "Happy?" I asked him confused

My eyes ran over him, and I could tell immediately that he was upset. His body was tense, his eyes dark and his fist curled tight by his side. I stood up so that I could reach out for him but, he smacked my hand away from him, his hard eyes turning to me, "Don't touch me, you know what I mean. I have called you all week and you ignored me but, yet I find my so-called brother leaving your hotel room."

My eyes widened, "You followed me?" I asked shocked a little disturbed at the lack of privacy he gave me

I heard the stool behind me scrap across the floor as Tig stood beside me. "Brother, why don't we talk somewhere more private."

I could feel Tig behind me just as tense as Happy was. My heart was breaking at I watched the hurt that he tried so hard to hide it. "Brother? Brother, you don't get to call me that not after I catch you with her." He spat at us, I flinched at the way he said her

I took another step towards him, "Happy you don't understand I promise it isn't what you think, just let me talk to you?" I pleaded with him

He stepped away from me and glared at me, "I'm not a fool, don't treat me like one!"

I felt Tig's hand wrap around my arm pulling me behind him, "Happy this isn't the place to do this."

Happy flared up and he stood chest to chest with Tig, "I don't have to talk to you. Its between me and Savannah."

"Yes but, you are angry, and you should think about this before you do something you regret. She said it ain't what you think so listen to her." Tig stood his ground against him

Happy rolled his neck and shoved him away from him, causing him to fall back into me. It happened all quick then. It all happened to fast, one second we were all having a heated conversation and next I was flat on my ass and Tig and Happy were going at it on the floor. I tried to get involved but every time I was shoved away until Bobby and the prospects managed to pull them apart. Tig shoved them off and Happy's eyes connected with mine. His fist rubbed against his lip pushing the blood away before he stormed away. "Happy wait!" I yelled at him

He stormed out straight to his bike and I chased after him, tears in my eyes. I could hear the door opening after me and I had a feeling that some of the sons came to make sure everything went alright between us. But I trusted Happy not to hurt me physically even though my heart was breaking from watching him walk away. I grabbed onto his handle bars as he sat onto his bike, "Happy please! Let me explain, nothing happened between us. Tig was just helping me-" I tried to get him to listen to me

"Helping you with WHAT!" Happy shouted

I bite my lip, I couldn't tell him why I was really there. If I did that it would make things worse without having to explain what happened to me and Gemma. "That's what I thought." He mumbled before he reeved his engine

I moved out of his way and I felt like my tears were coming faster now. I wanted to tell him but, I don't know what to do…I was lost.

~~SOA~~

After the episode at the clubhouse I took off leaving everyone with questions. It seemed that it angered me even more as I sat out front of Zobelle's cigar shop while I toyed with my gun. I waited to see Weston walk into the shop. It was now or never and I though my hands were shaking I was going to do this. I looked up and down the street before I stormed out of the vehicle towards the entrance before I backed out. I placed my hand back with the gun in it and pushed open the door. Both Weston and Zobelle looked up at me, "Sorry miss we're closed." Weston told me as Zobelle watched me curiously

I scrunched up my nose, "Yeah, I know."

When Weston stepped towards me my heart raced with panic, I pulled the gun and aimed at both of the men. They both raised their hands, but Weston narrowed his eyes at me, "Hey, hey there is no need for that. Your Clay Morrow's daughter, right?" Zobelle said as he tried to walk towards me I shook the gun,

"No! Don't come any closer! I know what the fuck you did to me and Gemma and I wont stand by and let you get away with it." I yelled with tears brimming my eyes

Zobelle stopped walking towards me and his eyes darted behind me. I heard the click of another gun behind me, fuck "Savannah, I need you to lower you gun."

I looked over my shoulder briefly to see Hal standing there with his gun pointed at me. I bit my lip as I looked back to the two men in front of me, "But, they don't deserve to be alive! I-I…" I trailed off realizing the situation I was in

"Think about what your doing? Think about Stella. Put the gun down and I promise this wont reach anyone's ears. Don't do anything you will regret." Hal continued to talk to me

My finger began to shake as I thought about my daughter. I hadn't thought about her and what I was doing would affect me bringing her home. My eyes connected with the smug ones of Weston and all I could think was that this wasn't over. I chocked gasp escaped my lips as I dropped my arm and Hal reached forward to pull the gun from my willing hands.


I would like to start off by thanking;

MELYLOOP- I can't guarantee anything for the future since we all love our little bit of drama but so far that isn't in my plan for our cute duo

Legolas' Girl 31, anelle25, .7311,, angeleyes301313, nikole salvatore, guest(Aug.1), Cherokee Daniels- Sorry for the late update, hope you love this chapter

bravesfan152001- Thank you! As always love your reviews

nelle76- As you read he definitely knew more than he said I hope you enjoyed this chapter, but I know I threw in a bit of a curveball but trust me things will work out for both of them can't be to easy though

Ang R- wow even though I didn't agree with some of your comments, I will take your criticism and thank you for commenting on each chapter. Ill try to answer you question, I would tell you how Mike new but, that will ruin something I have planned for the future. Let's just say it has to do with Stella's father. As for her knowledge of the club being a druggy in Tacoma with the sons being the main outlaw there. I tried to make her knowledge be more of common sense and stuff that may have reached her ears. Sorry I haven't focused much on the age I didn't realize that I put that gap in there. When I get a chance, I will try to fix it. One thing to realize with my stories is that I jump in the timeline like the tv show does. Sometimes it can be a couple weeks between chapters. It has never bothered others before, so I apologize. Happy acts out like he does because he doesn't do relationships it is a learning curve for both. There will eventually be a Stella and Clay moment, but she is angry with him and has no plans now of talking to him. If you have any questions don't hesitate to message me?
