Three Months Later

She hadn't planned on being here this long, she wasn't able to crack any of the staff. She wasn't able to get a phone to call her family, her next hope was visits to a doctor's office. Paul had medical staff come to her, so she wasn't allowed to leave the house, he bought equipment for the house. She looked down at her expanding stomach, placing her hand over her stomach, she felt the baby kick. She smiled. "Baby girl, your daddy and uncles are going to find us." She felt the baby kick again.

She looked out the window, watching the long country drive out front, she longed for the sound of motorcycles. She stepped away from the window, laying on her bed closing her eyes she took a nap.

"She's being held in Oregon." Jax said.

Happy looked up. "It's been three months of no where leads, how can we be sure?" Chibs asked.

"One of the staff that is taking care of her, got in contact with one of our Charters."

"When do we leave?" Chibs asked.

"As soon Church is over."

Happy had been silent the entire time, he'd gotten his hopes up in the past, just to have them crushed. She'd be five months pregnant now, he had to stop himself from hoping. He got up from his chair, leaving Chapel, Chibs stopped him.

"Hap, we'll find her. She and the baby will be safe."

"I hope you're right."

The bikers packed their bags and got ready to roll out towards Oregon, Juice drove the van behind them. It was going to be a long drive, full of tension.

She slowly opened her eyes, looking around her room. Paul was standing by her bed, looking at her. "We're getting married on Saturday." She sat up looking at him, anger flashing in her eyes.

"I'm not marrying you!"

His hand went to her throat. "You are, I'm giving the little bastard my last name. Everything is set up, the wedding will be held here." He shoved her engagement ring on her finger, before slamming out of her room, she laid back on her bed. Letting tears flow down her face, she couldn't marry him, she had to get away from him.

The door opened, a new housekeeper came into her room. "My name is Marilyn. I'm here to help you."

"Thank you."

"I'm here to make you happy."

"What?"

She looked at her, smiling. "I've come to make you happy." She put her hand on her stomach. "Can I get you anything?"

"No thank you Marilyn." The young women left the room, she wondered if it was a heads up, that she'd been found. She decided to take a walk in the gardens, she got up from the bed and went outside. The garden was being prepared for the wedding in two days, she sighed looking around. Placing her hand over her stomach again, she smiled. "Soon baby girl, soon."

She went back into the house, sitting down on the couch, she turned on the TV. She needed to relax, stress wasn't good for her or the baby. The baby was kicking and moving all around, she smiled. The cook brought her some lunch, Maddie smiled and thanked her. She ate all her lunch, carrying the tray to the kitchen. The staff, got on to her for doing their job.

She rolled her eyes, but smiled at them, they were kind to her. They couldn't help that they were just following orders, it was their job. She went to sit on the patio in the afternoon sun, she smiled lifting her face to the sun.

They rode into the small Oregon town, exhausted late in the afternoon. They were going to grab a few hours sleep then go find her, Happy was like a caged animal. Getting ready to go at ten that night they rode to where she was being held. Nearing the house, they parked their bikes down the road, going the rest of the way on foot.

Happy stopped when he heard a door open above him, looking up he saw her step out onto the balcony. His breath caught in his throat, as he saw her, the full moon was shining on her face. She leaned against the wall, her hands gently stroking her stomach.

"You're just dancing away Sophia Joy."

Happy was about to jump out of the shadows, ready to call out to her when the door opened. He stepped back staying hidden.

"Get to bed! We have a busy day tomorrow!"

"I told you I'm not going to marry you!"

Paul pushed her up against the wall. "I told you we're getting married Saturday! Tomorrow is rehearsal!" He pushed her towards the railing, holding her over the edge. "Don't defy me, or I will kill you and this little bastard!" He pulled her back, dropping her on the ground.

Happy fought back his instinct to climb up the balcony and kill the bastard. He was afraid that Maddie and tge baby would be hurt, he had to wait until they were safely away.

She sat on floor of the balcony, her eyes tearing up. She slowly making her way back intof her room, turning off her light, she crawled into bed. She was going to wait until the house was quite, then leave. When Paul was here, he always dismissed the security detail.

She laid in bed for a hour before it got quiet, she slowly crept from bed. She slipped on jeans, a t-shirt, a hoodie, she grabbed a back pack, and left the room. Walking slowly in the darkened hall way, she made her way to the stairs. She was almost there, she slowly walked down the stairs, getting to the bottom she passed by the dinning room. She was grabbed from behind, a hand went over her mouth.

She started to stuggle, and fight. "Lass, stop fighting!" She relaxed when she heard Chibs voice in her ear. He released her, she turned around throwing her arms around his neck hugging him. "Let's get you out of here!"

He put his arm around her, guiding her towards the door. He opened the door quietly, the black van pulled up, Chibs helped her inside, then climbed in behind her. Juice took off down the long drive, Maddie laid her head back on the seat.

"Are you okay love?"

"I'm now!" She smiled. Juice pulled over at the end of the drive, Chibs got out.

"Get back to the club Juice. I'm right behind you." Juice took off as soon as the door shut, Maddie sat back relaxing against the seat. Tears of relief and joy streamed down her face, she placed her hands over her stomach. She was going home.

She fell asleep on the drive, Chibs lifted her out of the van and carried her into the club house. She nestled her head into his chest. "Thank you Filip." He carried her back to one of the rooms, laying her gently on the bed and tucking her in, he straightened up to leave. Her hand reached out to grab his arm, her eyes opened. "Please don't leave me."

Clinching his jaw, he shrugged off his Kutte, kicked off his boots, he climbed into bed, gathering her in his arms. She laid her head on his chest, feeling safe for the first time in three months she feel asleep.

His phone vibrated, checking it there was a text from Chibs letting him know that Maddie was safely away. He, Opie, and Jax went to find Paul's room. He was going to enjoy torturing him, the ending his life. Usually he'd take his time, but tonight he wanted to hurry up and get the job done.

He wanted to get back to the club, and see Maddie he just wanted to hold her. The three men opened the last door, and saw the man lying on the bed. They grabbed him from the bed, he let out a stared cry.

"Shut up, you worthless piece of shit!" Dragging him out side, they tied him up and put tape over his mouth. Juice drove up in the van, he was tossed inside, they jumped into the van, riding back to their bikes.

They followed to a country rode on the outskirts of the small Oregon town. Dragging Paul from the van, Opie landed a punch in the face, sending him to his knees.

"Stand up, you piece of shit!"

Jax pulled him to his feet. "You're going to pay for everything you've done to our sister." Jax pulled out out his knife, cutting his face. Paul let out a scream of pain, as blood dripped down his face. Happy jerked him from Jax's grip throwing him to the ground.

He kicked him in the ribs. "You're not worth the effort! " He dragged him to a wooden box, throwing him inside. He pulled out his gun, shooting him in the stomach. Paul let out a scream, Happy put the lid on the box, locking it. The four men shoved the box into the six foot deep hole, the started shoving dirt on top of the box, burring the screams of Paul Wheeler.

Happy walked back to the dorm room he was using, opening the door quietly so he wouldn't wake up Maddie. Jealously and rage surged through his body, as he looked at Maddie wrapped up in Chibs arms. He clinched his jaw, storming over to the bed. "What the fuck?"

Both Maddie and Chibs woke up, with a start looking at Happy. "Brother, it's not what you think."

"It looks like you're in bed with my old lady!"

Maddie sat up looking at both men, Chibs got up out of bed, grabbing his things to walk out. Happy grabbed at him, ready to hit him, Maddie got out of bed shoving Happy back. 'You're an idiot Happy Lowman! I didn't want to be left alone! Chibs was just holding me, making me feel safe! Nothing happened! Of course I don't expect you to believe me, since I'm no better then a Croeater!"

Chibs looked at Maddie. "Are you going to be okay, love?"

"I'll be fine. Thank you." Chibs gave her a hug, not sure he wanted to leave the room. The look of anger on Happy's face made him feel uneasy.

"I'm next door if you need me." he left the room, leaving them alone.

Happy pulled her into his arms, cupping her face, leaning in to kiss her. She turned her head, so the kiss landed on her cheek. "Maddie..I'm sorry for what I said."

"I'm too tired to talk about it, I just want to go to back to sleep." She laid back down in bed, he took his clothes off, except for his boxers and climbed into bed with her, wrapping his arms around her. She was too tired to fight him about being in bed with her, only wearing his boxers. She felt the baby kicking against his arm, he moved his hand to her stomach.

"Is she always this active?"

"Yes, it always feels like she's doing dance moves. How did you know it's a girl?"

"I heard you on the balcony, did you really choose the name Sophia Joy?"

"Do you like it? After your mom and you?"

"I love it." He moved his arms back around her, pulling him against his chest, she relaxed falling into a deep sleep.

The next morning she was being gently shaken awake. "Wake up babe, it's time to go." She grumbled something in her sleep, rolling over pulling the blankets up around her.

"Go away!" She heard him laugh, he pulled the blankets down.

"We're getting breakfast and then heading home." She opened her eyes staring at him, she pushed herself out of bed. Making her way to the bathroom, she took a quick shower, and got dressed. She made her way into the main room of the clubhouse.

Opie walked up to her, picking her up for a hug. "Sis, I'm glad you're okay!" He put her down, putting his hand on her stomach.

"She's fine too!" The rest of the club that had come up with them hugged her. The van was loaded up, and they were headed back to Charming. Maddie leaned back in the van seat, knowing only half her problems were being left in Oregon, the other half were riding on a motorcycle behind the van on the way back to Charming.
