Happy came running into St. Thomas' ER. "Where the hell is she?" Chibs and Bobby sttod up from their seats.

"She's back in an exam room, Tara is with her." Chibs said.

"What the fuck happened?"

"It was the Mayans, the drove by and shot at us. I thought I got to her in time. I'm sorry..." Chibs was crying.

"How bad is it?" Happy could feel the fear building inside of him. He was terrified that he was going to loose one if not both of them.

"We don't know, she lost a lot of blood. Tara was there and did what she could until the ambulance got there." Bobby said quietly. As word got out the rest of the club members came to the hospital to sit and wait. Tara came out of the ER, scanning the crowd, looking for Happy. He stood up, walking over to her, waiting for whatever news she had to give.

"She and the baby are fine, she took a bullet to the shoulder. Her blood pressure is elevated, and Dr. Laws wants to keep her over night for observation." Happy breathed a sigh of relief.

"Can I see her? Please?"

"Of course, come with me." He followed her back to the exam room, he looked at her lying on the gurney. She looked pale and fragile, he sat down in the chair next to her bed taking her hand. Placing his other on her stomach, feeling his daughter kicking away, he gave a small laugh. Maddie moaned slowly opening her eyes, looking over at Happy.

"What happened?"

"It was a drive by, you were shot."

"The baby?"

"She's fine, you're both okay. Dr. Laws wants to keep you over night." He leaned down to kiss her.

"Will you stay with me? Please?"

"There's no else I rather be."

She woke up the second time in her room, Happy was slumped over sleeping in the chair next to the bed. She smiled, slowly sitting up, wincing in pain, she reached out touching his face. He jerked awake, sitting up, looking at her.

"What the hell are you doing?" He gently laid her back down in the bed. "Stay in bed, women."

"I'm hungry!"

He groaned. "What do you want to eat?"

"A cheeseburger, fries, and a chocolate shake."

"It's two am, where am I going to find that?"

"It's okay..never mind." She laid back down to go to sleep. She heard him growl, opening the door to her room he stepped out into the hallway, talking to someone. He came back into her room, and sat on her bed. He looked at her, she was so damn beautiful, his hand rested on her thigh. She turned, looking at him and smiling. "What's wrong?"

"I could have lost both of you today!"

"But you didn't, we're both still here." She watched him close his eyes, he stood up walking away from her. "Hap, we're okay." His back was to her, she slowly got out of bed, going to him, she touched his shoulder. He turned around looking down at her.

"Get back in bed. You're suppose to be resting." He scooped her up in his arms, and laid her down in the hospital bed. "I love you Maddie."

"I love you too." He leaned in to kiss her, a knock on the door broke them apart. Happy went to the door, opening it he took a back and cup. Handing it to Maddie he smiled. "You said you wanted a cheese burger, fries and a shake. I sent the prospect out to a truck stop to get it."

"You're the best!" She took the bag from him, smiling in bliss as she ate her food. It really was the little things that made her happy.

She'd been home a week, the nursery had been painted and the furniture assembled. She stared at the walls of the room, looking at the murals that Happy had painted. He came in behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist, pulling her close to him. She tensed for a split second, before relaxing in his arms. She closed her eyes, she turned around to face him, with tears in her eyes she looked at him.

"What's wrong babe?"

"I love you Hap."

"I love you too..."

She closed her eyes, laying her head on his chest. "I need to tell you something...it may change the way you feel about me." his hands were in her hair, pulling her head back to look into her face.

"Nothing can change the way I feel about you."

She closed her eyes, then opened them looking at his face. "Paul, forced me..." His face showed such rage, she looked away from him. He caught her face pulling it back up to look at him.

"Forced you?" He growled.

"He raped me, for three months! He held a knife to my stomach and told me if I didn't..." He stormed out of the nursery leaving her alone, she slumped to the floor crying. She heard the door slam, she got up from the nursery floor, going to the bathroom she washed her face, she locked the front door, and went to lay down. She knew the risks telling him what had happened to her, and she'd lost him.

She lay in bed, feeling miserable she'd spent the night tossing and turning. She got up from the bed, stretching out the kinks from her body. She went into the bathroom, splashing water on her face, running a comb through her hair, she left the bathroom. She went into the kitchen, making herself some breakfast, she carried it back to the livingroom. She turned on the TV, curling up on couch, she ate her breakfast, trying to push all thoughts of a certain biker out of her head.

She heard a motorcycle pulling into her drive, she put her plate down on the coffee table, going to the door. Pulling it open, she saw Chibs standing on her door step,

"Chibs, what are you doing here?"

"Hap, left for Tacoma. He's going to be gone for a couple of months. He wanted me to check up on you. Is every thing okay, love?"

"Everything is fine." She looked away from him, trying to hide her tears.

"Hey, what's this?" He lifted her face up, to his. "He'll be back darlin."

"Thank you for stopping by." He could see something wasn't right with her, he cupped her face.

"Tell me wants wrong."

"It's nothing..."

"I can see something is troubling you, tell me what it is so I can fix it."

"You can't fix it! No one can!.." She started to cry, he picked her up, carrying her to the couch. Holding her in his arms, she laid her head on his shoulder, she felt him stroking her hair. She lifted her head from his chest, looking into his eyes, his hands pulled her face close to his. Their lips met each other, she open her mouth to his, feeling his tongue slide into her mouth.

His hands slid down her body, his mouth left hers, trailing down her neck, nipping at her collarbone. His hand traveled up her tank top, closing around her breast, she gasped. Getting up from his lap, she walked out of the room to the kitchen. She heard him curse, and get up from the couch, he followed her into the kitchen.

"Lass, I'm sorry. I was out of line, you're Hap's old lady.."

"It's just as much my fault... As far as being Hap's old lady..."

"What are you talking about?"

"I told him something about while I was gone..he didn't take it well. It changed how..."

He put his hands on her shoulder. "I'm sure it didn't. He had to go Tacoma to help Lee. It had nothing to do with what you told him."

"I wish you were right Chibs. You didn't see his face, he left the house as soon as I told him."

He turned her around to look at him. "What happened?"

She closed her eyes. "Paul raped me for the three months he had me. He threatened me, by holding a knife to my stomach telling he's stab me if I didn't."

He pulled her into his arms. "It's going to be alright." He didn't want to leave her, but he had a phone call to make. He kissed her on top of the head. "Rest lass, someone from the club will come check on you later."

"You need to get your ass back here Hap!"

"What the hell is your problem?"

"I went over to check on her this morning and found her devastated. How could you leave her like that, you bastard?"

"You don't know what you're talking about!"

"I think I do! She told me what happen to her, and how you stormed out leaving her. Then you left for Tacoma for two months? I lied to her and told her Lee needed you. I didn't have the heart to tell her the truth and that you ran out on her."

"I didn't ask you to do me any favors!"

"Aye, you did! You asked me to keep an eye on her, and I plan on doing exactly that."

She rolled over in bed, she needed to get moving, she had a doctor's appointment later that morning. She needed to go buy a carseat for Sophia, do some clothes shopping. Her phone rang, picking it up, she frowned at the caller ID, she put her phone down. She had no intention of talking to him, he really gave a rat's ass about her or the baby, he would be here now.

She climbed from the bed, going into the bathroom, she turned the shower on, climbing in she let the water wash over her. She stepped from the shower wrapping a towel around her body. She dried her body and hair, she went back into the bedroom, getting dressed. Her phone rang again, she rolled her eyes again ignoring his call. Checking her voice mail, she saw she had several from him, demanding that she answer his fucking calls.

She walked into the kitchen, grabbing something to eat, she sat down at the table, when her front door crashed open. She jumped up running to the livingroom.

"What the fuck?"

Happy was standing in the door, glaring at her. "Answer your fucking phone! I was out of my head with worry, not knowing if something was wrong with you or the baby!"

"And what the fuck would you care? You ran off to Tacoma...leaving me alone. You don't give two shits about me or this baby!" She turned away from him, walking towards the kitchen. He grabbed her, pulling her into his arms kissing her.

"I love you Maddie."

"Then why'd you fucking leave me?"

He closed his eyes. "I couldn't get the thought out of that pricks hands on out of my head."

"So you blame me and left?"

"Christ, no!"

"Then why?"

"I love you so damn much, the thought of him hurting you or our baby! I needed to get away."

"I don't get to get away from it...I have to think about it, every second of every day! When I finally do tell you, the man that is suppose to love me...he drops me and leaves me! Without a word until this morning, then you come busting in here all pissed off that I didn't answer your fucking call!"

A sharp pain came shooting through her abdomen, she bent over grasping at her stomach. Happy's arms went around her waist. "What's wrong?"

She couldn't talk, the pain was too bad, he scooped her up and rushed her to St. Thomas', he carried her into the ER yelling for some help. She was put on a gurney and whisked away behind the doors.

Dr. Laws came out into the waiting room, looking for Happy. He was pacing the waiting room, along with several other club members, she stood in front of him. "Happy Lowman?"

"Yes? How is she? The baby?"

"I'm keeping her over night. Her blood pressure was extremely high when you brought her in, she can't have this much stress. It isn't good for her or the baby."

He nodded his head, feeling relief that she and the baby was okay. "Can I see her?"

"I want to get her settled in her room first."

He nodded his head, sitting down next to Opie, he closed his eyes. "How's sis and the baby?"

"They're going to be fine. She has to be stress free."

Chibs was pacing the hall worried about her and the baby, he heard what the doctor told Happy. He wondered what had upset her so much, Happy being back had to have something to do with it. He was resisting the urge to beat the shit out of his brother, he had to stop himself from saying anything. He walked down the hall, getting away from his brothers.

He saw her laying in a bed, he walked into her room. "You okay love?"

She smiled up at him. "I'm fine Filip, thank you."

"What got you so stressed out?"

"Happy and I had an argument, I shouldn't have let him get to me."

"Knowing you're pregnant, he shouldn't have started any argument with you."

"It's fine, I could have walked away from him, but I didn't. It's just as much my fault."

"It isn't love, he should take better care of you."

"Filip..." He leaned down kissing her forehead, he whispered in her ear.

"I'll take care of you, if he won't." He straitened up and walked to the door, leaving her alone.

She was laying in the bed relaxing when Happy came into the room, he walked up to her bed, leaning down to kiss her. "Baby, I'm so sorry. Please forgive me."

"I'm fine." She looked away from him.

"I love you! Give me another chance."

She closed her eyes. "I love you too. I don't know if we're meant to be..."

He cupped her face. "Let me take care of you, and our baby. I'm in Charming to stay."

"Hap..." She exhaled slowly, trying to gather her thoughts. "When I leave the hospital, stay with me at my house." He leaned down to kiss her.

"No more stress, for you. I'm going to take care of the two of you."

She closed her eyes and hoped he was right.
