Chapter Twenty Six
It's been a couple of days since Happy and I made up, things have been really good between us. Opie and Lyla have finally started to work through their own problems and I was happy for her. Tara and I have started to talk more since I found out I was pregnant. Happy had to take off early this morning so Phil was waiting for me to get ready so he could follow me to work. I haven't had the chance to confront him about telling Happy about Nero being at the hospital. As I was walking down the stairs my phone rang so I pulled it out of my pocket and answered.
"Hello?" I said opening the phone and putting it up to my ear.
"Hey Jess my car won't start can I catch a ride with you?" Tara asked.
"Yeah I'm leaving my place in ten minutes I'll stop and pick you up."
"Ok thanks, I'll get ready now, see you when you get here."
"Phil we need to stop and pick Tara up on our way." I said to him as I came down and closed my phone.
"A'ight doc, are ya ready to go?" he asked.
I walked up to him as he stood by the door waiting. "Phil why didn't you tell me that Happy knew Nero was at the hospital?"
"Shit I'm sorry doc but I'm really hoping to patch in very soon and I want them to be able to trust me." He said running his hands through his curly hair. "I didn't want to break your trust but Happy gave me specific orders to tell him if anyone tried to come near you."
Now I felt bad for making him chose between my trust and the clubs trust. "I understand I'm sorry for putting you in a place like that." I said running my hands through my hair. "Let's get going." He smiled at me and followed me out the door.
We both walked out and headed towards Tara's. Rat was sitting outside waiting for us and Tara came out just as we pulled up to the curb. When she got to the car Kozik and Juice pulled up in the tow truck.
"Hey ladies." Kozik said jumping out of the truck. "We came to pick up the cage." He said walking over to Tara and getting the keys from her.
"Hey Jess Hap said he was going to be out late tonight." Juice said to me as he walked over to my side of the car. "I want ya to keep your eyes open we still can't find that bitch or Kelli yet."
"I know Juice, I've been careful." I said to him as he leaned down into my window.
"Phil can't pick you up today so we're having Mike go there instead." Juice said smiling at me.
"Why?" I said sounding upset which surprised the both of us.
"Jess have you grown attached to the prospect?" Juice asked sounding amused.
"Yes and that's not funny." I said smacking his arm. "Now why is he not going to be there?"
"Jess get use to Mike being around." He said rubbing his arm were I smacked it but he had a smile from ear to ear on his face. "I can't tell ya any more than that."
Juiced walked away from the car so Tara and I could leave. "Thanks again Jess, that piece of shit needs some serious work." Tara said to me after we had left her house.
"I get out at six if you need a ride home I can give it to you." I said to her.
"No that's ok Jax is picking me up, I get out at seven today." She said smiling at me. "Jax said we were going to have some alone time today, Gemma is going to keep the kids for the night. Hey are you coming to the party on Friday? Gemma has been dying to have one since Jax became President. "
"Yeah I'll be there, I think we all need a night to just relax and have some fun." I said as we pulled into the parking lot. "It will be my first sober party." I said pouting at her and she laughed at me.
"Oh I know how you feel remember all the great girls nights out and I was the sober one." She said with an evil smile and I had to laugh.
We both got out and went into work. It was a very busy day we had four traumas come into the ER and I was on call for all of them. I had talked with the nurses down there for a while because I hadn't seen them since going upstairs for my next rotation. I had told them about the baby and they were all excited about it and had already started talking about a baby shower they wanted to have but I had to keep telling them it was too early for that. My day was finally coming to a close and I couldn't wait until I was able to take a nice long shower and go to sleep.
When I walked out to the parking lot to my surprise Happy was sitting on his bike next to my car. "I thought you were going to be late today?" I asked as I got closer to him.
"Shit didn't go the way it was planned so I got a few hours." He said as he started his bike. "Get in the car and let's go home."
I got in the car and Happy rode behind me when we got to the house I got out the car and Happy met me at the door. I went inside and made my way to the kitchen. "What do you want to it for dinner?" I asked him as he came in the kitchen.
"Change into something to ride in." he said walking up to me and kissing my lips. "Let's go enjoy the sunset."
I nodded my head and kissed him one more time before I went upstairs to change. I threw on a pair of low rise skinny jeans with a blue V-neck tee and a pair of my black booties. Grabbing my sunglasses I walk back downstairs to see happy leaning on the back of the couch waiting for me.
"I'm ready." I said walking up to him. "Should I take a sweater?"
"Nah I don't think it going to cool off much more than it already is." He said snaking his arms around my waist pulling me to him. "I think maybe we should stay in." he said kissing my jaw and working his way down my neck.
I let out a low moan and felt him smile into my neck. "We have plenty of time for this; let's enjoy some time together outside the house." I said between moans because he wouldn't let up on his assault on my neck until I pushed off him and he growled at me. "Hap I need some serious fresh air." I said pouting to him.
"A'ight." He said pushing off the couch. "Are ya still good to ride?" he said pointing at my small belly.
"Yes Hap, I'm pregnant not handicap, don't worry so much." I leaned up on my toes and kissed his lips softly, I pulled away just enough that our lips still grazed each other. "As long as I can wrap my arms around your tone body with my tits against your back, I'll be fine." I said to him softly.
He growled as he pulled me closer and kissed me deeply. When we came up for air he pulled back. "Let's go before I change my mind." He said as he pulled me to the door.
We were riding for an hour before he pulled off on a small cliff side and parked the bike. We climbed off the bike, Happy took his cut off and laid it across his seat and we sat at the edge watching the sunset, Happy was sitting behind me holding me to his chest I had my head leaning back against him. With the way things had been going Happy and I have not had much alone time so it felt good to be sitting here in his arms.
"Jess, I ain't scare of shit but this whole baby shit has my ass scared." He said looking out straight ahead of him.
"Happy I'm not going to lie to you and say this is going to be easy." I said turning my body to face him. I knelt on my knees in between his legs and placed my hands on his chest as he held onto my hips. "I've watched Tara with her kids and Lyla with hers, we have our work cut out for us but I believe we would be fine."
Happy leaned back on his elbows. "I want Juice to come by and put some security shit around the house."
"I'm sure he won't have problem with that." I said as I crawled on top of him straddling his hips and leaned forward placing a soft kiss on his lips. "I'm surprised you just now decided this."
"Nah I always wanted to do it but you haven't been easy to deal with lately and I wasn't sure if ya would rip my head off for wanting it." he said bringing one of his hands to my thigh and started to rub it.
I sat back on his lap and looked down on him. "I have not been that bad." I said glaring at him and he smirked at me. "Can we just drop this; I'm ready to go home."
Happy let out a small laugh looking up at me. "I still think you're sexy when ya get pissed." He said laying flat on his back and pulling me down to his chest. "Jess I like that you're not easy to deal with, I can't have some bitch that ya can push around. I need a bitch that would fight back."
"So now I'm a bitch." I growled at him and he smirked. I leaned forward to kiss him roughly. "Let's go before I jump your ass right here." I said glancing around and seeing a family not too far from us also watching the sunset but the parents were glaring at us. "I don't think our spectators will appreciate the side show." I said nodding my head towards them.
Happy glanced to the side and they quickly turned their heads away. "I can get 'em to leave." He said with an evil glint in his eye.
"Don't be so mean, let's just go home." I said as I sat up again and he growled at me.
We both got up as I was dusting myself off I glanced over at them and the woman was glaring at me again so I blew a kiss in her direction and her eyes went wide as she nudged her husband. When he looked at me he suddenly looked scared and said something to her and they both quickly moved closer to their kids. When I turned around Happy was standing there with his cut back on.
"I thought ya said not to be mean." He said looking down at me with a smirk. "I saw what ya did to that bitch over there."
"I didn't do anything wrong." I said walking over to the bike. "She was the one glaring at me."
He shook his head as he climbed on and I got on behind him. We pulled off and made our way back home, I had my head resting against his shoulder blade and he held on to my thigh. When we pulled into the driveway it had already gotten dark out but I noticed there was a rental car sitting in front of the house but it was empty. Happy must have noticed it too because he pulled out his phone and called someone before he even got off the bike. I climbed off and walked a little towards the car as he was hanging up and came over to where I was standing.
"Jess I called Juice to come over so we can talk with him about the security system." He said wrapping his hands around my waist from behind. "What are ya looking at?" he asked from behind me.
I looked over my shoulder at him with a raised eyebrow. "The mystery car!" I said nodding my head towards it and he stiffened when he realized it. "How did you not notice that?"
"I'm fucking slipping!" he snapped more to himself than me. "Jess we need to go in." he said pulling me to the door.
"I though you saw it and that's why you made your call." I said as I let him pull me but I kept my eyes on the car. When he suddenly stopped I almost ran into his back. "What's wrong?"
"What the fuck are ya doing here?" I heard a menacing tone in his voice.
When I looked up at him he was staring straight ahead so I moved around him to see who he was talking to, I came face to face with my ma. "Why are you here?" I asked still feeling stunned seeing her.
"Jess I'm not here to fight with you or start any trouble for your club." She said looking at Happy. "It's important please hear me out."
Just as she stopped talking we heard Juice's bike coming down the street all of us glanced towards the street just as Juice parked and climbed off. When he looked our way his face went from a smile to a very pissed off look but he wasn't looking at her he was looking at me.
"Did you fucking call me here because of her?" He snapped at me as he got closer. "Jess I ain't fucking around I told you I didn't want anything to do with them anymore."
"Calm the fuck down Juice; I called for something else not this shit." Happy snapped at him. "We found her sitting here when we came to the door. I take it that's you cage?" he asked looking back at my ma but she looked confused.
"He's asking if that's your car." I asked her pointing at the rental and she nodded yes. "Did abuela tell you where I live?"
"Yes she did." I sucked in a deep breath and roll my eyes when she said that. Juice started to say something but she cut him off quickly. "It's not her fault Jessica we really need to talk."
"Jess I told you none of them can be trusted." Juice said to me crossing his arms over his chest.
"Jessica please can we go inside and talk, it's important." She said to me ignoring what Juice said.
"You keep saying that why don't you just tell me what you have to say and then leave." I said to her.
"This involves all of you." She said pointing at the three of us standing in front of her. "But I don't want to do this out here in the dark."
I looked over a Juice and Happy to see their reaction but neither of them showed any emotion but they nodded their heads at me. "We can go in but the first time you insult Happy or my brother your out." I said to her as I moved past her and unlocked the door.
Just as I was about to turn the door knob Juice's phone rang and he answered, Happy and I both turned towards him but he wasn't on it long. "Hap, Jess they found Kelli." He said looking at us.
"Where did they find her at?" I asked him but he shook his head no, Happy and I both looked at each other and knew that he meant she was dead. "Let's get this over with we have somewhere we need to be." I said to my ma as she walked up to me.
I turned the door knob and let the door swing open just as I stepped into the house a gun shot rang out and I felt the force of the bullet hit my body and I fell backwards into my mother's arms as she screamed, caught my body and fell to the floor with me in her arms. So much happen in the moment the shot rang out, Happy and Juice both pulled their guns running into the house and all that can be heard was an array of gunshots. I looked up into my mother's eyes and saw the tears she had as my own fell from my eyes. The pain was too much to even scream, I didn't even have the strength in my body to bring my hands to the bullet wound. My mother's hand went to the wound to put pressure on it but her eyes went wide when she felt the roundness of my belly and she frantically pulled out her phone and dialed 911 just as the gun fire came to an end.
"Ma my baby." I said to her in a low voice as I brought one hand up and cover hers with it.
"Please help my daughter has been shot and she's pregnant." She screamed into the phone as she looked around. "Juan Carlos please help." She screamed at the top of lungs.
Juice came running out of the house holding his arm and dropped to his knees next to me. "Jess where are you…." But stopped talking once he saw where ma was holding me.
"Juan Carlos tell the people where to come?" Ma said to him shoving the phone in his hand. "Where's Happy?"
Just then Happy came running from the back yard as Juice yelled into the phone. "Angie where is she hit?" Happy growled coming up behind her.
"Happy she was hit in the stomach?" my ma said between sobs. "I can't stop the bleeding." I didn't hear what Happy's response was because everything faded out and went black on me.
**Happy POV**
Just as Jess stepped in the house a gunshot rang out and I saw Jess fall into her mother's arms. Juice and I pulled our guns and ran in, whoever was inside started shooting at us I heard Juice grunt but he continued to fire back as I did. That's when we heard a female scream from the kitchen but the shots never stopped so I ran towards them as I made it to the kitchen she ran out the back firing two more shots at me but missing me. I ran out the door following her and that's when I noticed it was Leslie Jacobs, she ran straight to a waiting car as she hopped in she turned to me.
"You took Kevin from me now I took that bitch from you!" she screamed as the car pulled away. I shot off one more round and the gun was empty, I ran back to the house going to the front I saw Angie holding Jess in her arms shoving a phone in Juice's good hand as blood oozed out of his shoulder down his arm. Then I heard her ask him where I was.
"Angie where is she hit?" I growled as I came up behind her.
"Happy she was hit in her stomach?" I heard her say between sobs and I felt my stomach drop. "I can't stop the bleeding."
I ran the short distance between us and fell to my knees just as Jess closed her eyes and her hand fell to her side, I quickly took my cut off and removed my shirt and brought it down on her stomach as Angie moved her hand and I applied as much pressure as I could trying not hurt her more. "Come babe open your eyes for me, don't do this to me you and the baby need to make it through this." I said caressing her face that was lying in Angie's lap but she wouldn't respond to me. "OPEN YOU'RE FUCKING EYES!" I yelled at her then looked up at Juice. "WHERE'S THE FUCKING AMBULANCE!"
"It's coming Hap." He said dropping back down to his knees and grabbed her hand. "Jess come on I know you hate when I say this but do what Hap says open your eyes."
"Happy how far along is she?" Angie asked still crying but was smoothing Jess's hair back.
"Almost thirteen weeks, the baby's going to make right?" I asked looking up at her as we heard the ambulance pull up along with several squad cars. "It has to make it. Jess don't leave me." I said to her leaning down and kissing her lips softly.
The paramedics quickly worked on her and had her in the ambulance in the matter of minutes one of them came to try and look at Juice's shoulder but he pushed them away and told them to only worry about his sister. Roosevelt came running over to us and started talking shit to me and Juice immediately but to our surprise Angie spoke before we could.
"This wasn't their fault Sheriff Roosevelt, we were all talking here on the porch and when my daughter opened her door she was shot." Angie snapped at him. "Can we go to my daughter now and my son needs medical attention."
"Your son refused medical help so he can answer my questions first. You may leave I will take your statement later." Roosevelt said to her and she looked at me. "They need to stay and answer my questions first."
"Angie go with Jess I don't want her alone." I said to her as I pulled out my phone and handed it to her. "Call the second speed dial number when the guy answers tell him what's going on." She nodded her head at me and ran to the ambulance jumping in the back, I turned and glared at Roosevelt.
"Hap you should be with her that's your baby she's carrying." Juice snapped.
"He can go be with her when we're done here." Roosevelt snapped back at Juice.
**Jax POV**
Tara and I have been laying on the couch watching TV when my Phone rang, seeing it was Hap I decided to answer it. I knew Chibs called them and told them Kelli's body was found today. "Hey Hap what's up?"
"It's not Happy." The voice that answered me wasn't Happy so I quickly sat up pushing Tara back a little. "It's Angie, Juan Carlos and Jessica's mom."
"What the hell are you doing with Happy's phone and why are you calling me?" I asked and Tara raised her eyebrow at me. I mouthed that it was Jess and Juice's mom and her jaw dropped open.
"I don't know who you are all I know is that Happy told me to call you." She said sounding like she was crying. "Something happened at their home."
"Ok you are talking with Jax." I said to her trying to stay calm. "Is Happy around you?"
"No I'm in an ambulance with Jessica right now she was shot in her stomach." Angie said now crying louder.
I jumped off the couch startling Tara. "How the fuck did Jess get shot?" I screamed into the phone.
Tara jumped to her feet. "What did you just say?" she yelled at me as she grabbed her bag and keys.
"Angie listen to me calm down and tell me what's going on?" I said as Tara tried to run out the door but I grabbed her arm to stop her. "Who did this and did they tell you how the baby was?"
"I don't know who did this. Happy and Juice are being questioned by the Sheriffs right now." She yelled at me. "They won't tell me anything about her or the baby we just made it to the hospital let me call you back."
"NO DON'T HANG UP!" I screamed into the phone but she hung up. "Tara go to the hospital find out what's going on I need to get to Hap and Juice they were both with her when this happened."
We both ran out when I got to my bike and jumped on I called Chibs phone. "Chibs Jess was shot go to the hospital with Phil and send the rest of the guys to Hap's house I'm on my way there."
I didn't give him time to respond to me I hung up and took off as fast as I could go. Within five minutes I pulled in front of the house and saw Roosevelt questioning Happy and Juice but Juice was sitting on the front steps holding his shoulder. I ran over to them as quick as I could.
"What the fuck is going on? Do you see how much fucking blood he lost?" I snapped in Roosevelt's face. "I'm going to have my lawyer on your ass so fucking fast ya ain't gonna know what the fuck hit you."
"He refused medical help." Roosevelt snapped at me. "We're done for now anyways don't leave town boys." He said walking away just as the rest of the guys pulled up.
The look on Happy's face was scaring the shit out of me and Juice looked like he was going to pass out. "Bobby, Tig get Juice to the hospital." I said to them as I still look at Happy. "Hap brother ya need to talk to me, what the hell happen here?"
"We need to find that bitch so I can fucking strangle the fucking life out of her." He said to me in low menacing voice as Kozik, Opie and Miles walked up. "I want her fucking dead tonight!"
"Who are you talking about?" Kozik asked sounding concerned.
"That fucking skank shot my old lady!" he snapped getting Kozik's face. "The bitch is going to die!"
Opie push himself in between the two of them facing Happy. "Hap you need to get to the hospital first." He said as he pushed Happy back. "Ya need to be there for Jess right now."
"I ain't facing my old lady until I can tell her that bitch paid for what she did." He snapped as he pushed Opie out of his way and stormed over to his bike.
"Ope, you and Kozik need to stay with him." I said pointing at Happy. "Miles stay here if anyone shows up call me. I need to get to the hospital."
We all ran for our bikes and I rode as fast as I could to the hospital as Opie and Kozik took off to catch up with Happy. When I got to the hospital I ran straight for the nurse's pod in the ER and found Debbie in there crying. My heart dropped into my stomach, I thought we lost Jess when I saw her crying.
"Debbie what happen where is Jess?" I asked hearing the fear in my own voice as she looked up at me.
"They have her in surgery; Tara is up there now with all the other people." She said trying not to cry. "They have Juice in curtain four."
"Thanks darlin'." I said to her as I walked away and went to look for Juice. "Juice how are ya doing?" I asked as I walked in his room and saw him in the bed and Tig sitting in the chair. "Where's Bobby?"
"He couldn't take it no more so he went upstairs to wait for doll face to get out of surgery." Tig said to me running his hand down his face. "Once they let Juicy go we're going to head up there too."
"Where's Hap at?" Juice asked but before I could answer him a doctor walked in.
"Juan Carlos you really shouldn't be released yet but I was told by the nurses that you are Dr. Ortiz's brother." The doctor said looking at the chart. "I know you want to be up there with her so I'm going to sign you out if there are any problems with the wound just come back here and we'll take care of it. "Here you can put this on." He said handing Juice a green scrub top. "My prayers are with your family."
Juice climbed out of the bed as the doctor walked out, he was trying to get the shirt on but was having a hard time. Tig must have felt bad because he got off the chair and snatched it from juice's hand and helped him out.
"We ain't got time for your retarded ass to find your way into the shirt." He said smacking him on the back of the head after getting it on. "Come on doll face need us." He said scooping up Juice's cut from the bed and walked out.
On the way up the elevator Juice filled us in on what happened, when the elevator door open on the surgery floor I saw Jess's ma pacing down the hall and my ma pacing in the opposite direction. "Juice I know ya probably going to hate me for this but see what your ma told the cops so we know what we're dealing with here." he glared at me. "Or ya can talk with Gemma." I said pointing at my ma and he shook his head and walked towards Angie.
Once my ma spotted me she stormed my way. "Jackson what the hell happened? How did that bitch get close enough to shoot her?" she snapped at me.
"Ma she was in the house already when they got home, I didn't go in the house so I don't know how she got in." I said running my hands down my face. "Has anyone came out and said how things were going or how the baby is?"
"No, Tara went to see if she can find anything out for us. What the hell is she doing here?" ma asked nodding her head back at Angie.
"I don't know what she's here for but I do know she was there when this shit happen." I said looking back at Angie and Juice while he stood there talking with her as she cried. "Ma she was the one that called me from Hap's phone."
"Where is Happy at? He should be here." she said sounding confused. "Send someone to get him."
"Ma I don't know where he went. He said he ain't coming here until he can tell Jess that bitch paid for what she did. I got Ope and Koz with him."
"Baby that's not right he needs to be here." my ma said walking away from me and Juice came walking over. "What did Angie say?"
"She didn't tell them shit, when they came to take her statement she told them the same thing she said at the house and when they pushed for more she told them she was too worried about her daughter's life that she didn't hear or see anything else." He said running his good hand over his Mohawk. "Hap didn't let them in the house and because Jess was lying on the outside of the house they couldn't go in without a warrant. Call the prospects and have them go to the house and clean it up and patch any holes before Roosevelt gets his warrant."
"I got Miles still there so I'll have him start until the prospects get there." I said pulling my phone out. "Send Phil over there."
"Let Phil stay here." Juice said to me and I raised my eyebrow at him. "Phil and Jess got pretty close and he looks like a nervous wreck right now." I nodded my head and walked away.
**Juice POV**
It has felt like days that we have all been sitting here waiting when it's only been a couple of hours. We still haven't got any word on how things were going and Tara never came back. When Gemma asked where she went the nurses said she was need in the OR so she stood back there. No one has heard from Happy or the guys. I was upset at first that he wasn't here but then I realized I was more upset with myself because if I could I would be out there with him looking for this bitch and not sitting here in a sling, feeling helpless was really driving me crazy. I couldn't get the image of my sister lying on that ground with blood seeping out of her.
I kicked the table in front of me as I got out of my chair and stormed out of the waiting room. "Juicy boy are ya a'ight?" Chibs asked coming up behind me and putting his hand on my good shoulder. "Lass is going to make it through this, she's a strong girl."
"Chibs I saw my sister take a bullet right in front of me." I said angrily wiping the tears that started to fall down my face. "I was watching her bleed out and I couldn't do anything to help her. I need to be out there with Hap and I can't even fucking do that right. I'm fucking stuck here with this fucking sling on my arm." I snapped kicking the wall.
"Brotha there was nothing ya could have done." Chibs said turning me to face him. "Juicy our girl is going to make it."
"I could have gone in the house first; she should have not been the one to go in first." I said looking at the wall behind him. "The fucking house was pitch black inside she had no idea what she was walking in on. That should have never happened!" I snapped at him.
"Brotha, ya can't go around blaming ya self for what happen." Chibs said shaking his head at me.
"Then who do I fucking blame I'm supposed to protect her she's my little sister."
I stopped talking when I saw Nero and some of his guys get off the elevator and walk towards us. Jax must have spotted him too because he came out of the waiting room pretty quick and walked to him just as Chibs and I walked over too. With my ma being here the last thing we needed were more guys here causing her to judge the way things were right now.
"What can I do for ya?" Jax asked him as he got closer. "Were kinda in the middle of something and we need everyone to just keep their distance right now."
"Jax I heard what happen to Hap's old lady Jessica. I really need to talk with Juice about something." He said looking at me.
"Look Nero club shit has to wait; I'm only concern with my sister right now." I said to him trying to stay calm. "Whatever ya need can wait until tomorrow."
"This can't wait it's about your sister….." but he was cut off when someone else spoke.
"Neron what are you doing here? You said you would stay away." I heard my ma say from behind us.
Jax, Chibs and I quickly turned to face her with wide eyes then he answered her. "Angela did you think I would stay away now that I met her. I have the right to be here she's my daughter too."
My head quickly snapped towards Nero when those words left his mouth. "What the fuck did you just say?" I snapped at him as I turned back to my ma. "What the fuck is going on?"
"This is what I was trying to tell you guys before all this happen." She said to me in a soft voice. "I haven't heard from Neron in twenty six years and a week ago he calls asking about your sister. Juan Carlos Neron Padilla is Jessica's father."
"You knew who her father was all this time and ever fucking time she asked you ya would tell her you didn't." I snapped at her but before anyone could say anything else a doctor came walking out from the back with Tara.
They walked up to us and stopped when the doctor spoke. "I'm looking for the family of Dr. Ortiz." He said looking at all of us and my ma and Nero started to move forward until I snapped.
"Neither one of you deserve to be here so back the fuck off." I snapped turning back to the doctor as Chibs put a hand on my shoulder and squeezed it. "I'm her brother."
"I'm Dr. Williams head of the trauma unit here." He looked over at Tara and she nodded her head so he continued. "The bullet did a lot of damage and she lost a lot of blood." He said looking at me but I looked over at Tara and saw the tears coming down her face. I felt my knees start to weaken and I grabbed onto Chibs's shoulder to steady myself. "She made it through surgery and the recovery should be smooth, She was alert for a little when we took her off the anesthesia but she was very distraught so we had to sedate her for now, it's not going to keep her under too long and we would like it if you would be in there when she comes around again."
"How is the baby doc?" I heard Gemma ask and that's when I realized everyone was standing there. "You haven't said anything about the baby."
"I would really like to discuss that with Dr. Ortiz first." He said and Gemma Just about blew her gasket.
"That's my daughter we have the right to know?" I heard my ma say from behind me.
But the doctor looked at me. "Mr. Ortiz, Dr. Ortiz's records here shows you and a Happy Lowman listed as contacts and next of kin. Can I please speak with you and Mr. Lowman?" he asked me.
"Happy is not here but we can talk." I said to him, Chibs and Jax nodded at me as I walked away with Tara and the doctor. When we were further down the hall he stopped. "Did my sister's baby make it?" I said hearing my voice crack.
He looked over at Tara and she put a hand on my shoulder. "We did everything we could but the bullet punctured the placenta. Juice she lost the baby." Tara said to me as her own voice cracked.
I felt my body give out and I leaned back against the wall. "Mr. Ortiz we repaired the damage, being as young as she is she should be able to have another one." Dr. Williams said to me and I glared at him.
"Is that supposed to make her feel better about losing her god damn baby?" I yelled as I pushed off the wall and moved towards him.
Chibs suddenly was in between us and when I looked over at the guys I saw Happy standing there and his eyes were glazed over. Jax put his hand on Hap's shoulder but he knocked it off and stormed towards the elevator. Just then I dropped back against the wall and slid down it.
"Koz!" I hear Jax say and I glanced over at them again.
"I'm on it." Kozik said to him as he ran after Happy.
I didn't notice the doctor leave until I looked up at Chibs and he was the only one standing there. "Juicy I don't know what to say brotha other than I'm here for ya and the lass." He said sliding down the wall next to me.
Tara came around the corner over to us. "Juice we have Jess in a private room do you want to come sit with her?" Tara asked.
"I want to see my daughter!" my ma snapped as she came over to us. "I have the right to be with her."
I jumped to my feet and Chibs did the same. "The last thing she needs right now is to have either of you near her." I said to her and pointed at Nero as he came closer too. "Tara take me to her room but don't let anyone back there that I don't approve." She nodded at me.
"You can't do this to me!" she yelled as she grabbed my arm to stop me from walking away. "I came here to tell her the truth."
"Juice let your mom go back there; I will stay away until Jess is feeling better." Nero said to me.
"Stay the hell out of my business. I might have to deal with you on a club level but I don't want you anywhere near my personal life." I snapped at him as I yanked my arm away from Angie. "I'm going to see my sister alone."
"Kiss her for me Juice." I heard Gemma say to me. "I'll be here watching things if you need me."
"Thanks Gemma." I said and she winked at me.
When we got to her room I glanced in saw her still sleeping and she looked so peaceful but I knew that wasn't going to last long, I sucked in a deep breath. "Juice she should be out for a couple of more hours, there aren't a lot of tubes and she's breathing on her own so that is really good. When she wakes up just hit the nurse call and I'll come in and check on her."
"Did you tell her about the baby earlier when she woke up?" I asked still looking through the window.
"No I didn't want her to be alone when we told her. Go in and sit with her." I nodded my head and slowly walked in.
"Tara when Hap gets here let him know he should be here with her." I said running my hand over my Mohawk. "He shouldn't have found out the way he did."
"You didn't know he was standing there." She said to me as she rubbed my back. "He'll be back just give him time to grieve." And she walked away.
I stood by the door for a few minutes before I finally built up the courage to walk over by her. I grabbed the chair and put it right next to the bed and leaned over to kiss her forehead then I sat down holding her hand. Now that I was truly alone I was able to let the tears roll down my face. "Jess I'm so sorry this should have never happen to you. I swear to you if Hap didn't find her I will spend every minute of my life hunting her down until she dies a slow painful death."
"Juice she's dead." I heard and I looked up to see Jax standing there next to the bed. "I didn't mean to barge in but I wanted ya know that I'm having Phil sit outside the room to keep watch on things."
"A'ight." I said wiping my eyes. "Did Kozik find Hap?"
"He's with him now but there's a problem with that." He said running his hand through his hair. "He's on his way to Tacoma; Kozy can't get him to come back. I got Donut and Lorca riding down to try and intercept him."
"What the fuck is he going to Tacoma for? Is he trying to fucking run off on her now that she's going to need him the most?" I said trying not to yell.
"He ain't running on her Juice, He told Kozik that he plans on killing everyone with ties to Kevin Jacobs."
"Anyone that was close to him is already dead; Donut made sure of that already Leslie was the only one left." I said as I started to pace.
"Juice I know this hard on ya, shit I don't even know how I would feel right now if this was my sister laying here." he said as he placed a hand on her leg. "Look what I'm trying to tell ya is I convinced Nero to leave until you have the chance to tell Jess the news about him."
"A'ight, is Angie still here?"
"No after you left Angie and Gemma got into it and they escorted the two of them out." He said with a smirk and I couldn't help but give him a small smile. "I sent Tig and Bobby to check on the prospects at the house; Ope and I are going to the clubhouse. Tara wants to stay and Ope convinced Lyla to wait until tomorrow to come up here."
"Where's Chibs at?" I asked him.
"He said he ain't leaving, he wants to wait in the waiting room."
"Tell him come in here and sit with me." I said sitting back down and grabbed her hand again.
Jax walked over and kissed Jess on the temple. "Darlin' if ya can hear me I want ya to know we're all here for you." He whispered in her ear and then walked away.
A few minutes later Chibs walked in. "Juice I can wait down there if ya want ta be alone wit 'er." He said walking through the door.
"Chibs she would want ya here with us." He nodded his head and sat in the other chair. Not too long later we both fell asleep sitting in the chairs.
