A/N: *snorts* Oh wow it's almost been 2 years since I've updated this story…. I'm so sorry for that!

So now I am back with an update for this story…. Hope you all enjoy it….

Jax shook his head when he saw Tig staring at Dawn again and sighed. "Do we know if Half Sack has any siblings?"

Tig shrugged his shoulders. "I'm not sure if he does or not. I do know that before she was shot that she told the bastard the reason that she moved here was because she had a brother that didn't know about her. Other than that I have no clue who her brother could possibly be."

Jax nodded and rubbed his hand down his face. "I'll see if Tara can run a DNA test on her so we can see if she's related to Half Sack or not. David, could you run her prints and see what you come up with?"

David nodded. "It's already being done. The gun she used is registered to a Dawn Martin and she has a concealed to carry license in that name also. From what Wayne said on the initial check that she had a restraining order again an Earl Holmes and that charges had been filed against him before but they were dropped after he found her for the second time and put her in ICU. Wayne is trying to get all of her past medical records so that we know exactly what we are dealing with."

Tig sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "I still can't believe she pulled her gun out just to make sure I was alright. It's like she didn't care if he did anything to her she just wanted to make sure that Denise, Bridget, and me were all safe. What kind of person doesn't care about themselves just others?"

David shook his head. "A selfless person. She'll be okay, Tig."

Happy nodded and rasped out "We'll make sure that she is okay."

Tig nodded and then looked back at Dawn. "I don't get why she hasn't woke up yet. Why hasn't she woke up yet?"

Tara who just walked into the room sighed and said "Her being unconscious is the only way her body knows how to handle the trauma it's went through, Tig. She'll wake up when her body thinks it is okay for her to wake up. I just got the fax from the last hospital she was at a month ago and it's not pretty. She signed herself out AMA two hours after having surgery done to repair her lung and kidney. I've ordered a full body MRI to make sure that her body is healing from its previous injuries. I'm also going to put her on oxygen to make sure that she gets enough air. Just from the report from the last hospital she was at she had five broken ribs one which punctured her lung, a knife wound to the side that nicked her kidney, a fractured arm that didn't even get to be put in a cast, a grade three concussion, a fractured cheekbone, a black eye, a broken nose, and a dislocated shoulder. She had also been raped."

Tig, Jax, Happy, and David all swore but it was David who surprisingly growled out "It's a good thing that bastard is dead now or I'd kill him my fucking self."

Tara nodded. "I'm going to give her a shot of morphine and then take her to MRI. Why don't you four go and get something to drink? I'll page David when I bring Dawn back to her room."

Tig shook his head. "Where she goes I go."

Tara shook her head and placed a hand on Tig's shoulder. "Tig, go and get a cup of coffee or something. I promise you that as soon as I'm bringing her back I'll page David so you can come back. It's not like you can come into the MRI room with her. Besides I need to draw some blood and run some tests to make sure everything is okay."

Tig sighed but nodded and stood up. "Oh, Doc, can you run a DNA test on her as well. We think she may be related to Half Sack."

Tara nodded. "I'll do that now. The hospital still has Half Sack's DNA on file from where I ran it to see if he was the father of Cherry's baby or not."

Jax nodded and pushed himself up from where he was leaning against the wall. "Thank you, Tara. We'll be down in the cafeteria getting some coffee."

Tara nodded and after watching Tig, Happy, David, and Jax leave she set to work on getting a DNA sample and withdrawing some blood from Dawn. Once she was finished doing that she labeled the tubes and the swab and then stuck her head out into the hall and motioned for two orderlies to help her take Dawn down to the MRI. As she led the way she couldn't help but wonder just what Dawn's place in her life was going to end up being. She had no doubt that eventually Dawn would end up Tig's old lay with the way that Tig looked at her.

Once they were in the cafeteria Jax sat Tig down in a chair with David and Happy before he made his way over to where the coffee was at. He quickly filled four cups with coffee and paid for them and then made his way back to the table where the others were sitting. He handed them their coffee and then sat down with a sigh. "It looks like we're going to end up with a new family member even if the girl doesn't turn out to be related to Half Sack. There is no way in hell we're gonna turn away from her after she did what she did just so Tig wouldn't get hurt."

Tig nodded and looked down into his coffee. "I still can't believe she did it."

David chuckled. "I can. I've talked to Dawn a couple times when I've been in the Diner and that is just the kind of person she is. Whenever I would go in she would always ask me how Tara was doing and ask if there was anything she could do for me or Tara. Hell just last week she put herself in between one of Darby's men and a woman when she saw the man hitting the woman. That is why I knew that she had a concealed to carry license because she actually pulled it on the guy and kept him there until I got there."

Jax shook his head. "Jesus Christ."

David snorted. "Oh that is the least of it, Jax. She has also stood up to both Marcus and Laroy when she saw them about to come to blows in Lodi while I was there doing some shopping. She actually gave both men a piece of her mind and then wouldn't let them leave until they hugged their differences out. I don't think I ever laughed so hard. But now both Marcus and Laroy make sure to come to Charming at least once a week to check on her and make sure that she doesn't need anything. Marcus and Laroy both take turns having one of their men go shopping with Dawn when she needs something in Lodi or Oakland."

Tig's eyebrows went up at that. "Damn."

David nodded. "Dawn is a strong woman. She'll come out of this and she'll be better for it. Although I'm not so sure how well taking a life is going to sit with her even if the life she took was of the man that made her live a living hell for the last six years."

Happy nodded. "She'll find it tough to move on from that but I'm sure she'll get past it especially with all of us helping her. Jax, do you think we should let Alvarez or Laroy know what happened if she talks to them? It would probably be better if they find out from us then from someone else."

Jax nodded and pulled his cell phone out as he stood up. "I'll call Clay and let him know. We could probably head back upstairs now that way Tara doesn't have to page David to let us know they are back in the room. I'm sure Clay will come here once I call him."

David, Happy, and Tig all nodded and stood up. They followed Jax out of the cafeteria and into the elevator as he made the phone call. Not even five minutes later they were back in Dawn's hospital room waiting on Tara to bring Dawn back and waiting on Clay to get there who was coming after he called Marcus and Laroy to let them know about Dawn. All four men were wondering just what it was about Dawn that seem to pull them in and make them want to protect her even though they didn't know her that well or at all.
