...Chapter 4...

Jax was outside smoking a cigarette when Tig pulled up, alone, and parked his bike. "Oh, shit... here we go." Jax thought to himself as Tig walked up to him. Jax took the last drag of the cigarette and flicked it in the street. "What's up, Man?"

Tig gave him a funny look. "You tell me... what is it, that I need to see?"

Jax took a deep breath. "Okay, there was a woman that brought in her twin sister who passed out in the car."

"Okay." Tig nodded, not knowing where he was going with this.

"One is named Stephanie and the other is Crystal... well, apparently Stephanie's boyfriend beat up on them and they came from Florida to over here."

"Do you have a point, Jackson?" Tig asked, getting slightly irritated. "I mean, what does any of this have to do with me?"

"These two women... are your twin sisters."

"You're lying." he shook his head. "I don't have any sisters."

"Yes, you do."

"How?"

"You three have the same last name, the same mother, and Stephanie's boyfriend killed her." Tig's eyes widened and his jaw dropped to the ground." Then after that, they came to Charming looking for you, because Steph's boyfriend is after them."

"You serious? I have twin sisters?" Jax nodded. "Okay, what exactly happened to them?"

"Both of them got hurt, by the boyfriend, and some other guys... but I'm telling you, Man." Jax slightly shook his head. "There's more going on with both of them, then Cassie is letting on, because Stephanie told us that they went through some bad shit."

Tig had fire in his eyes. "What kind of bad shit?"

"Steph didn't exactly say, but she said to just think of the most horrible things possible to happen."

Tig was silent for fifteen seconds, then took a deep breath. "Where's this motherfucker at?"

"Don't know, but the girls think that he's gonna come after them."

"Let him try." Tig shook his head. "I will kill them all, before that happens."

"We all will."

"Okay." Tig counted to three in his head. "Let's go see my sisters." Jax nodded, then they walked into the hospital.

A few minutes later, Tig followed Jax into one of the rooms. "Hey, Crystal."

She looked up and smiled. "Hey."

"Look who's here." he said, then he stepped out of the way, so she could see him.

Both of them locked eyes and Tig could see it in her face that she kind of looked like him and their mom, then he walked closer to her. "I'm Tig."

"Crystal." she smiled.

"Look, I just want you to know... I'm not gonna let anything happen to you."

"I know." she nodded. "Thanks." she looked over at Jax. "Is Kozik still in there with Steph?"

"What! You let that asshole near my sister!" Tig yelled, being already over protective.

"Calm down."

"Fuck no... where is she?"

"All right, I'll tell you, but you can't cause a scene, we're in a hospital." Tig didn't say anything, he just glared at Jax. "Come on." he looked back at Crystal. "I'll be right back."

"Good luck." she nodded, then both of them walked out of the room.

"So." Stephanie started. "Are you going back to Tacoma any time soon?"

"Nope... I wanna stay here with you and make sure you're okay."

"But what if you do have to go back?"

"Well, if I have to, then I'll come right back or I can just take you with me." he smiled. "That's a option."

"Oh." she nodded. "Okay, because I wouldn't mind going."

Kozik held onto her hand. "Good." seconds later, the door swung open, and Tig came storming in, with Jax right behind him. Kozik and Stephanie looked over and Kozik smirked. "Hey Tiggy, what's up?"

"What the hell are you doing in here with my sister?"

Stephanie raised her eyebrow. "Are you my brother Alex?"

"Yes, I am." he said, not looking away from Kozik. "And you need to get the fuck out."

Kozik laughed. "Make me." he got up as Tig got closer to him, then they were nose to nose. "I'd like to see you try and get me out of this room." he pointed to Stephanie. "I'm not leaving her and there isn't a person in this world that can get me out, including you."

"I'll kill you."

"You ain't got the guts to kill me, Tig... you ain't nothing but Clay's little bitch boy."

"I want you out of this fucking room and away from my sister... go back to Tacoma where you belong."

"Not a chance, because I'm thinking about talking to Quinn to have me transferred to SAMCRO, so there's no way in hell, I'm ever gonna leave Steph alone, again." Kozik shrugged, with a smirk on his face. "You will just have to deal with it, Cupcake."

"I don't have to deal with shit."

After a few more minutes, Stephanie couldn't take anymore of the fighting, so she quickly but carefully got out of the hospital bed and got in between them, before Tig was about to punch Kozik in the face, and placed her hands on Tig's chest, keeping him away from Kozik. "You two need to stop... this is fucking ridiculous."

Tig looked down at his little sister. "I know you just met me, but you need trust me and stay away from this asshole." he said, pointing to Kozik.

Stephanie glanced back at Kozik and smiled, then turned back to Tig. "I think I'll take my chances."

Tig looked at her incredulously. "Did you hear what I said? Stay away from this asshole." he demanded.

"Hold up." Stephanie raised up her hand, for a second. "First of all, I don't care if you are my long lost brother." she crossed her arms over her chest. "Nobody tells me what to do... I'm a grown ass woman and I can do whatever the fuck I want." all three of the guys stood there in shock. "If Kozik wants to be in here with me, then he will."

Kozik stood there behind Stephanie, with a huge grin on his face. As Tig was about to lunge at him, Jax grabbed his arm. "Come on, Man." he pulled Tig away a little bit. "Let's check on Crystal."

Tig pointed his finger at Kozik. "This isn't over, you son of a bitch."

"Bye-bye!" Kozik waved, only pissing Tig off more.

"Let's go, Tig." Jax ordered and literally pulled him out of the room.

Once the door was shut, Stephanie turned to Kozik, and glared at him. "Don't ever do that again." she shook her head and looked at the ground. "I don't wanna have to choose between my family and you."

Kozik raised his eyebrow. "Why not?"

She sighed. "Because... nine times out of ten." she looked back up at him. "I'll probably choose you."

"Is that a good thing?"

"Yeah."

Kozik got closer to her, inches from her lips. "And why is that?"

"I have major trust issues, because of Vince, but for some reason, being with you... even though it's been a really short time, I feel safe." she shrugged. "I mean, I haven't felt safe in a long time."

Kozik rested his hands on her hips. "I will always keep you safe or I'll die trying."

"You don't have to go to that extreme."

"Yes, I do." he nodded. "From that piece of shit after you and even your brother." he kissed her on her forehead. "So don't worry, okay?" she nodded. "I'm not leaving you and I will keep you safe."

She took a deep breath."Okay."

He smiled. "Now, get back into your bed, before the nurses get all pissy." she laughed, then Kozik helped her back in the hospital bed, and she didn't want to let go of his hand, so she held on, and closed her eyes.
