She went about her day, trying to act like nothing was wrong, for all she knew a pack of angry SAMCRO were riding in her direction. Her day finally ended, she had a doctor's appointment, then she was going home to curl up and wait for all hell to break loose. She checked into the doctor's office, waiting for her name to be called, she leaned her head back on the chair.

She let her mind drift away, she closed her eyes, she and Happy were laying together in bed, his hands were all over her body, he smiled down at her. He kissed her lips, his mouth, trailing down her neck, nipping at her collarbone. She heard her name called, her eyes popped open, she followed the nurse into the exam room.

"How's everything going Maddie?"

"Good. I feel like a blimp!"

"That's to be expected. You're blood pressure is a little elevated, everything okay?"

"Yeah, it's fine." She smiled at the nurse.

The nurse left the room, she sat on the exam table waiting for the doctor to come in, there was a knock on the door. Dr. Pryer came into the room smiling at Maddie. "Hi, Maddie. How are you doing today?"

"I'm good Dr. Pryer, how are you."

"I'm fine. I"m a little concerned about your blood pressure, are you working full time?"

"No, I'm part time."

"I think it's time you took maternity leave. You still have two and a half months left, I want to keep the baby in as long as I can."

"I understand, I'll let my boss know."

"I want you back every week, now because of your previous problem."

"Okay."

"Try to be stress free as possible."

"Easier said then done."

"She's working in Austin at a place called The Fixx." Juice said, he looked at his brothers sitting around the table. "i called eariler today, she answered the phone."

"Are you sure it was her?" Chibs asked.

"Yes, I recognized her voice."

"All right then, we pull out at first light and head for Texas." Jax said. The men at the table got up, Happy leaned back in his seat, glad that she was finally found.

She walked back into The Fixx, looking for the owner. "Jess, we need to talk."

"What's wrong?"

"I'm sorry, but mt doctor wants me to start maternity leave immediately. I understand if you can't hold my job, I know I just started."

"I'm going to hold your spot, come back as soon as you can! I can hire a temporarily worker. You go have a healthy baby."

"Oh, I need a favor."

"Sure, what is it?"

"If anyone calls looking for me or comes by looking for me, tell them I quit. Long story, baby daddy drama."

"You got it doll!" She hugged her co-workers, packed up her station and left, making sure no one was following her on the way home.

Opie, Jax, Chibs, and Happy took off for Texas right before dawn the next morning, the hoped to be there in two days. They knew where she worked, SAMHOU was staking the place out, trying to find out where she lived. They stopped for the night at SAMTAZ, planning on riding the rest of the way in the morning. Happy laid in his bed, thinking about Maddie, wondering if he could ever make it up to her.

He's hurt her so bad, by cheating on her, then by accusing her of being a whore, and not really being raped. He was lashing out at her because he'd found her at Chibs' house, where she had spent the night, nothing had happened between them. Even if it had, he had no right to be pissed, considering, what lead her to his door.

He dozed off to sleep, knowing tomorrow would be a long day.

She stretched, trying to wake up, she was going to be bored on bed rest, she could already to tell. She got up from bed, wandering into the kitchen, making herself some breakfast, she sat down at the table. Her hormones were working overtime this morning, she was tearing up, she actually missed home. Wondering how her life was such a fucked up mess.

Here she was in Austin, far from home, and away from anyone that cared for her. Should she go back to Charming, after she had Sophia. She'd have to wait six to eight weeks after, if she did leave. Did anyone still give two shits about her, or had she burned down those bridges? She started to cry, at the thought of no one loving her. She knew at least one person would love her, she put her hands over her stomach. Damn hormones!

She finished eating her breakfast, she rinsed her dish and put it in the dishwasher. She went into the bathroom, taking a shower, and getting ready for the day. She decided to go sit out on her patio, and enjoy some sunshine. She looked up, letting the sun beat down on her face. She'd never been a wishy washy person in her life, yet here she was sitting here going back and forth on calling Happy.

She picked up her phone, and started to dial his number. What the hell? He was a man whore! Why was she calling him? Because she loved him! Damn hormones were making her fucking crazy!

They rode into Austin, their first stop was The Fixx salon, Opie strolled in looking around. He didn't see his sister, anywhere, Sam approached the giant biker.

"Can I help you?"

"I'm looking for Madison Winston, does she work here?"

"Jess! Hey Jess! Some dude is here asking about Maddie!"

Jessica came to the front of the salon, taking in the tall biker. "May I help you?"

"I'm looking for my sister Madison Winston."

"I'm sorry, she's no longer employed here."

"When did she leave?"

"I'm sorry, I can't give out that information."

"Look, I'm worried about my baby sister and her unborn baby. If you know where she is, please tell me."

"I don't know, I'm sorry. She had to leave because of medical problems."

"Thank you." He walked out of the salon to his bike. Looking at the other three men, he wanted to wait until they got to the hotel to tell them what he found out.

XXX

She curled up on the couch, watching a movie, when her cell phone rang. "Hello."

"Hey Maddie. It's Jess."

"What's up?"

"Your brother stopped by with his friends, looking for you."

"Christ! What did you tell him?"

"That you didn't work here anymore, because of medical problems."

"Did they leave?"

"Yeah."

"Thanks for letting me know."

She ended the call, laying her head back on the couch. Fuck! Well, she had wanted to go home, looks like she may get her wish.

XXX

"She doesn't work here anymore, she quit because of health problems." Opie told the others.

"Did the owner say what kind?" Happy asked.

"No."

"SAMHOU, know where she lives." Chibs asked.

"They haven't been able to find her."

XXX

She hated grocery shopping, she didn't want to go out, she knew that there would be eyes out for her. She found a store that would deliver, so she ordered her groceries on line. Twenty minutes later, were at her door, she put them away. Settling on the couch, she heard the roar of motorcycles, she peeked out the window, holding her breath.

It wasn't them, she went and relaxed on the couch, the stress was getting to her. She had to end it, either let them find her or figure out a way to get rid of them. She went and pulled out her burner phone. Sending a text to Opie.

Go home! I'm fine, I want nothing to do with you or Happy! You're causing me stress!

She hit send, waiting for a reply, her hormones were raging again. She wasn't going back, they could all go to hell! The phone beeped, she looked down at the return message.

Please baby! Just talk to me! I'm so fucking sorry for what I did."

She exhaled, looking at the phone, her brother had passed the phone to that fucking prick.

Fuck off Happy! I'm done with you!

She turned off the phone, and tossed it back in the drawer, she was over him and her brother. They could both go to hell, in fact she would pack it all up, and relocate once she gave birth and recovered. She lay down on the couch, taking a nap she needed to get a little bit of perspective on her life and situation. Someone was knocking on her door, she jerked awake, she quietly crept to the door, peeking out the peep hole.

Exhaling slowly, she pulled the door opened letting Sam in the condo. "What are you doing here?"

"The bikers were back at the shop trying to get information out of me."

"Please tell me you didn't crack!"

"No, I played dumb. Even when the good looking Scottish guy." Maddie let out a laugh.

"Chibs is rather handsome."

"Is he the baby daddy?"

"Hmm, no! It was the bald, grumpy looking one."

"Oh, the dark intensive eyes. Who's the God with the blue eyes?"

"My brother's best friend. Did they leave the salon?"

"Yeah, not excited about it. Didn't get any information."

"You weren't followed were you?"

"I don't think so, why?"

"Because, that's what they do. They'll follow you to get to me."

"Are you in danger?"

"No, they won't hurt me."

XXX

Chibs sat outside of her condo, he'd followed the blonde man after the others had gone back to the hotel. He was hidden behind a dumpster, until the hair dresser left. He could see her front door from where he sat, he watched the door open, she walked the blonde man to the door. She kissed him on the cheek before he left, she shut the door.

He climbed off his bike, and strolled towards her front door, he knocked gently on her door, waiting for her to open it and let him in. "What the hell did you for..."

"Hello love." He was leaning on the door frame.

"Filip..." He pushed open the door coming in, kissing her. He lifted her off her feet, kicking the door shut, he carried her to the couch. He sat down, pulling her on his lap.

XXX

His hands were entwined in her hair, pulling her face to his, his lips captured hers. She broke off the kiss, looking into his eyes, cupping his face, "What are you doing here?"

"Did you think I wouldn't find you?"

"Filip, I left for a reason. I'm not good for you, it's going to drive a wedge between you and the club..." His lips silenced her protest. "Stop kissing me, I can't think when you do that!"

He brushed the hair from her face. "What do you need to think about?" She heard him laugh.

"Filip! You followed Sam to find me didn't you?"

"Aye."

"When will the others be here?"

"They won't be, unless you want them to be."

"I don't know..my hormones are all over the place! One minute I want to go back home to Charming, the next minute, I'm like fuck all of you." She heard him laugh again and she slapped at his chest. "Don't laugh, I don't know if I'm coming or going!"

He pulled her into his embrace. "I'm sorry, love." She let out a slow exhale. "How are you feeling other wise?"

"I'm okay, I'm on bed rest for the rest of my pregnancy. My blood pressure was a little high at my last visit."

"Come home with us."

"I can't...I'm almost eight months, I need to stay here. Besides I'm not ready to face Happy and Opie."

"Won't you just talk to them? Hear them out?"

"You ass! You're just here to clear the way for them aren't you?" She got off his lap, and went to the door. "Get the fuck out! You're no better then them!"

"It's not like that...I came to see you! I care about you!"

"Get out Filip. Go back to Charming and take your brothers with you!"

"Maddie, I love you." She had her door open, waiting him to walk through it. He leaned in to kiss her, she turned her head. "Maddie, please."

"Just go!" She watched him walk to through the door, she slammed it shut behind him, locking it. She laid down on the couch and cried. She dried her eyes, getting up off the couch, she went and washed her face in the sink. She was done crying tears over any man, they were not worth it, she would have Sophia, recover, then leave.

XXX

Chibs rode back to the hotel, walking into the room he was sharing with Happy. He sat down on the bed, taking off his boots, and laying down, he's really fucked things up. He was going to walk away and let Happy have a chance with her again, but he couldn't resist kissing her once he saw her. Then in a blink of an eye she had thrown him out on his ass.

He still isn't sure what happened, they were heading back too Charming tomorrow morning, Clay had called them back. He didn't want to leave her, but he had no choice.

XXX

The first pain woke her up in the afternoon, she called the doctor's office as soon as the second and third hit. She headed for the hospital, she had gone into early labor, she had just started her eighth moth. It was too early for this, she called Sam to come get her and take her to the hospital. He was crazy, nervous trying to get her to the hospital.

"Sam, calm down!"

"i don't want you to have your baby in my car!" She laughed at him.

"Sophia, isn't going to be born in your car. Calm down and drive like a sane person!"

He puled into the hospitals parking lot, stopping at the ER entrance. She got out of the car, and went to check in, she was taken to the OB department, where it was determined she was in actual labor, a month early. Sophia Joy Lowman was going to make an early arrival.
