AN: Apparently I lost a follower, because they didn't like the twist I threw into the story. Be patient my lovelies, let the story play out before you give up and leave me.
She had her suitcase open, throwing her clothes inside, she was crying trying to keep her shit together. She heard the doorbell ring, she was ignoring it, she had to get out of here. She heard the door open, she closed her eyes, she'd forgot to lock her door. Fuck! She heard boots coming up the stairs, the door opened, and Chibs was standing in the doorway, leaning against the frame.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm leaving, I can't stay here..." He walked towards her, pulling her into his arms, and kissing her.
"I'm not letting you go! I love you Madison, I'll be here for you and Sophia, if you'll let me."
"Filip, it's too much for you..."
"I'll decide what's too much..." He pushed the suitcase off the bed, picking her up laying her dodown, he laid down beside her. Cupping her face he kissed her. "I love you Maddie."
"Filip...I...I"
"It's okay love, I know it may take time." He kissed the side of her face, he rolled from the bed. She grabbed his hand, pulling him back towards the bed.
"Stay with me, I don't want you to leave." He looked down at her, leaning down he kissed her. He stripped down to his boxers and climbed back into bed with her, gathering her into his arms. He tucked her close to him, his hands resting on her stomach as the baby starting to kick. She relaxed, dozing off in his arms, feeling warm and content.

Pounding on the front door, woke the two of them up, he pushed her back down in the bed. He rolled from the bed, pulling on his jeans, and grabbing his gun, he went to the front door. She got up, she waited for Chibs to answer the door. She heard him open the door, and then yelling, she stepped from her room, Opie was standing in her livingroom.
"What do you want?"
"I've come to talk some sense into you?" Opie said.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Chibs came up behind her, putting his arm around her waist, pulling her close to him.
"Chibs, will you excuse us?" Opie asked. She looked up at him,and nodded her head, he went up to her bedroom.
"What do you want?" She crossed her arms over her chest, glaring at him.
"Sis, you have to stop carrying on with Chibs. You're pregnant with another man's baby..."
"I will carry on with whomever I want! As far as being pregnant with another man's child, what does it matter?"
"So, you're going to be a whore?"
"Get out of my house, don't come back until you can be my big brother."
She watched him slam out of her house, she sat down on the couch, burring her face into her hands. She felt his arms going around her, she leaned her head against his shoulder. "Tell me what's going on love."
She exhaled slowly. "Nothing to worry about, it will be fine."
"You can tell me anything Maddie! What happened between you and Hap?"
"Filip...please..." He left the room, going back to the bedroom, she got up, following him. "Please, don't leave."
"Tell me..."
"He cheated on me! I didn't want to tell you because then you'd know how inadequate I am, that I'm not good enough..." She stood in front of him crying.
He walked to her, pulling her into his arms. "Christ, inadequate, not good enough. Are you fucking kidding me? You are the most perfect women I've ever met." She started shaking her head at him, he grabbed her face between his hands. "You are beautiful, his loss is my gain. I love you!"
"Filip...I' care for you." His lips met hers, she wrapped her arms around him. He picked her up, carrying her to the bed, laying her down. She cupped his face, looking into his eyes.
"We'll figure this out Maddie, the baby, Happy, your brother."
"It's going to be complicated as hell Filip..."
"No stress, no worries...I want you relaxed."
"I'll try..."
His hands rested on her protruding stomach. "When's your next doctor's appointment?"
"Next week, why?"
"I want to go with you." He smiled at her, she leaned over and kissed him.

She lay next to him conflicted, she still loved Happy but he had disrespected their relationship the minute he fucked that croweater. There was the man laying next to her, he was loving and caring. She loved Filip too, but she wasn't sure it was on the same level as her love for Happy. Given time she could possibly fall in love with Filip.
She slipped from her bed, leaving the bedroom she went to sit out on the patio. Closing her eyes, she felt the cool breeze blow over her body. Her life was so complicated right now, that was her fault. She had to get things straight before the baby got here, as much as Filip wanted her to stay, she needed to leave.
She decided to leave in the morning once he left for work. It would be best for all involved, she'd pick a direction and go. The door opened and Chibs stepped out, looking down at her, he frowned.
"Everything okay?"
"Couldn't sleep."
"Come back to bed love, it's too cold to be sitting out here." She smiled up at him, he held out his hand, she took it. He pulled her up from the chair, his arms went around her waist. He leaned in, kissing her, she returned his kiss. He pulled her into the house, leaning her to the bedroom.

She woke up as Chibs was leaving for work, she got up as he was walking out the door, he stopped and smiled at her. He walked back into the house, pulling her to him he kissed her. She felt guilty that she was leaving without telling him, but its what needed to be done.
"Have a good day Filip."
"You too love." He gave her one last kiss before leaving. She went to her room, and started packing her clothes, she opened her safe and pulled out all the cash she had. She put it in the secret compartment of her purse, she went into Sophia's room and packed clothes, diapers, and whatever would fit into a bag. She carried them out to her SUV, she went back and got her purse and suitcase.
She picked up the letter she had written to Filip and carried it out with her. She had two stops to make before heading out to Charming, Dr. Laws office and a currier service. She pulled into the hospitals parking lot and went into Dr. Laws office.
"Did we have an appointment Madison?"
"No. I need my medical records. I'm leaving Charming."
"Where are you going?"
"I'm not sure yet."
"I can always send your records to where ever you go."
"You need to have plausibly deniability. That way when the club asks you, you can tell them you handed me my recotds."
"Madison?"
"It's for the best, Doc."
"Give me ten minutes to make you a CD."
Maddie sat in the office, waiting for Dr. Laws to come back with the CD. She was getting nervous about leaving, but she knew in her heart it was the right thing to do. The door opened and the doctor came back in, holding a CD, she handed it to Maddie.
"Take a lot of breaks to stretch, no more then four hours in the car."
"Okay."
"Drink plenty of water, and eat."
"All right, I promise."
She hugged the doctor and left the office, stopping at the currier's office. She made arrangements to have it delivered in the late afternoon, giving her plenty of time to get a good distance from Charming.

It was late in the afternoon, Chibs was working on a pick up truck when a late model sedan pulled into the lot. An older man got out carrying a manila envelop, Chips walked out of the bay.
"Can I help you?"
"I'm looking for Filip Teleford."
"That's me." The man handed Filip the envelop, holding out the clipboard for him to sign. "What is this?"
"I don't know sir, I was just told to deliver it, this afternoon."
Filip opened the envelop, and pulled out the paper that was inside, he unfolded the paper, seeing Maddie's hand writing, he had a feeling of dread in his stomach.
My Dear Filip,
Thank you for being a friend, but I couldn't stay and let you drive a wedge between you and the club you love. I do love you, but as a friend, maybe in time it could develop into something more, but I couldn't let you take that chance of a maybe. By the time you read this, I've been on the road for hours. I'm not sure where I'm going but I'll be safe. Just let me go, please I'm no good for you.
Love
Maddie
Chibs let out a curse, he turned to see Happy walking towards him. He ran towards him throwing a punch, knocking him to the ground.
"She's gone because of you!"
Jax and Opie came running out of the garage, pulling Chibs back off of Happy. "What are you talking about?" Happy asked.
"She's left town, because of you."
"What do you mean she left town?" Opie asked.
"Tell him what you did to her Hap!" Chibs stormed off to the clubhouse to get a drink.
Opie turned looking at Happy. "I cheated on her, and she walked in on me."
Jax and Opie stared at their brother, they just walked away, joining Chibs in the club house.

She walked around the rest area, stretching her legs, she was in New Mexico. She had gotten a new phone and number when she got into Arizona. She had known exactly when Filip had gotten his letter, her phone had blown up with calls and texts from him, her brother, Jax, Happy, and Gemma. She threw her phone away, once she got the new one. She traded vehicles once she got to southern California, it was an even trade.
She had decided to go to Austin Texas, she was in the middle of Houston and San Antonio. She would get there in a couple of days, she climbed back into her new SUV and drove away from the rest area. She drove for another four or five hours before she pulled over for the night.

Chibs, Jax, Opie, and Happy walked into Maddie's house, trying to get a clue into what direction she may have gone. They found a list of realtors for Tacoma, sitting down at the kitchen table, knowing it was to throw them off.
"We'll get all Charters looking for her." Jax said, looking at Chibs and Happy.
Opie and Jax left the house, leaving Happy and Chibs alone in the house. "Do you still love her?" Chibs asked.
Happy looked at his friend. "Yes. I still love her." Chibs didn't say anything, he just nodded his head. He knew he had to let her go, he loved her that much. He'd do all he could to help find her, and bring her and baby Sophia home.
"Then let's find her and bring her home."

She pulled into Austin, and headed to the condos she had seen online. Going to the office, she made arrangements to tour one of them. She found a two bedroom, she could afford, she had plenty of money to live off of, for the next several months. The condo was furnished, she didn't have anything to worry about right away. She started to unpack her SUV, making the condo feel more like home.
She collapsed on the couch, closing her eyes, she was exhausted. She needed to go grocery shopping, and cook herself dinner. She dragged herself from the couch and out the door to the nearest grocery store, she heard the roar of motorcycles and froze. She had covered her tracks, so carefully, how did they find her. She slowly walked to her car, and breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a group of riders going by, they had no Kuttes.
She laughed at herself, climbing into her vehicle, she drove to the grocery store. She was making a list of things she needed to get done in the next few days, find a doctor, set up the baby's room, find a job for after the baby, and find a daycare. She was seven months pregnant, she needed to get busy and get things done. She pulled into the grocery stores parking lot, she exhaled slowly before getting out and going into the store.
She bought enough groceries for the next two weeks, by the time she got home and but the groceries away she was exhausted. She crawled into bed for a nap, she'd get up and fix dinner in a little while. Tomorrow, she'd work on her to do list.
