Just a quick thank you to those who offered to Beta the sequel. I've already told someone they could Beta it. Also thanks for all the reviews. This chapter is a little shorter than my last chapter. Sorry for the wait, a few things came up that I had to deal with. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy.

CHAPTER 25: Waking Up.

"Baby go back to your dorm room, have a shower and get something to eat." Jax heard his mom's voice. He looked up and saw her walking over to him with a bunch of lilies and light purple iris', Lacey's favorite flowers. It'd be two days since the accident. As much as Jax wanted to help the club look for Jason, he couldn't bring himself to leave Lacey's side. Chibs told him he'd call if anything came up. He looked back to Lacey still lying unconscious in the hospital bed.

"I'm fine."

"You should at least eat." In the last two days he'd only had one meal but that was because Gemma brought him leftovers from last nights dinner.

"I'll be fine." he frowned slightly.

"I'll bring you some food after dinner." She said as she moved behind him and put the flowers on the empty tray stand behind the chair.

"What are you doing here this early?" Jax asked not moving his focus from his old lady. It was only one in the afternoon. Gemma was usually finishing her lunch break and heading back to work.

"I decided to take a longer lunch break and come see how our girl's doing." She placed a hand on her son's shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze. She could feel how tense he was. "Has the doctor been to in to see her today?" .

He nodded. "He's been in twice, he wanted to do a few scans and run a few tests."

"And?"

"There's no more swelling on her brain so she should wake up when she's ready." He said quoting what the doctor told him less than an hour ago.

"What about the baby?"

"There was a little bleeding but baby seems to be fine. Lacey will just have to take it easy for a while."

"That's great news." She was happy her goddaughter and grandchild were going to be okay.

"She's still not in the clear."

"I know, even if she has some permanent damage, she's still the Lacey we know and love. We'll help her the best we can."

Jax nodded and looked up at her giving her a small smile. Once again he knew she was right. She returned the smile and kissed his forehead. He watch as his mom walked over to the other side of the bed. She leaned down and whispered something to Lacey before kissing her head just under her hair line.

"I'm gonna do as you say. I'll go get a shower, something to eat and see where the clubs at." He stood up from his chair and stood closer to the bed. "Can you stay with her until I get back?"

"You don't have to ask."

"Call me straight away if she wakes up."

"You know I will." Gemma reassured him.

Jax leaned over placing a kiss to Lacey's head and left the hospital making his way back to the clubhouse.

After Jax had a quick shower and something to eat, he went to find someone ask about what was happening. Clay was no where to be found. He found Chibs sitting on the picnic table outside. He pulled out a cigarette as he sat next to the older man. "Got any leads yet?"

Chibs shook his head. "No. For all we know the pricks already left town or he's dead."

"Could be hiding," Jax pointed out.

"No ones been able to hide from is this well."

Jax saw Tig marching over to them, the expression on his face told them something's gone wrong. "Hey just got a phone call from Clay about our fake Feds missing brother."

"What about him?" Chibs asked.

"Clay managed to find out Jason had been squatting in an empty apartment building that's about to be renovated. He went there and found the loser dead, gunshot wound to the head."

"I guess were all going to church this afternoon." Jax sighed frowning. He wanted to get back to the hospital as soon as possible.

"As soon as Clay gets back," Tig informed them.

Jax sighed, the lines on his forehead creasing into a frown. He went to say something when he heard the roar of motorcycles coming down the street. Seeing Clay, Bobby, Piney and Opie pull into the lot, he got up from where he was sitting and walked inside the clubhouse knowing Clay wasn't wanting to waste any more time.

Lacey could hear machines beeping in a steady rhythm along with a familiar voice talking about how she was going to spoil her grand-baby rotten. The smell of disinfectant and aesthetic didn't help her forming headache. She slowly opened her eyes, looking at the extremely white wall across the room. She let out a small groan closing her eyes. Her brain felt like it was pulsating against her skull as her dull headache turned into a pounding one.

"Lacey?" she heard the familiar voice ask. She now recognized it as Gemma's. She slowly opened her eyes, shifting her head slightly, winching with pain, to look at her godmother. "Oh thank god you're awake. I thought I was imagining things."

"What happened?" her voice was hoarse, her throat dry and scratchy.

"You don't remember?"

Lacey frowned trying to remember how she could have possibly ended up in hospital again. She couldn't bring herself to remember anything after Jax walking out after she told him she was pregnant. "All I remember is Jax walking out."

Gemma wasn't sure how much she should tell Lacey. Deciding to let Jax tell Lacey the major details of what happened. She didn't want Lacey to freak out, delaying her healing process. She gave her the short version. "You were in a car accident, sweetheart."

"My baby?" She asked with a panicked look.

"The baby's fine, you just need to take it easy." Gemma stood up, standing closer to the bed to reassure the young woman.

"Where's Jax?"

"Clubhouse. I made him go get a shower and something to eat." Gemma told her. Lacey went to move her head but stopped as she winced. The pain was starting to become overbearing. Gemma grabbed the buzzer from next to the bed and pressed it. Not even a minute later a nurse appeared in the door way and walked over to the bed smiling.

"It's great to see you awake Miss Rodes. I'm Connie, your nurse for tonight, how are you feeling?"

"Like my heads about to explode." Lacey told her truthfully. Her head hadn't stopped pounding since she woke up. She usually had a high pain tolerance and tried to ignore it, but failed.

"That's normal with brain injuries." Connie said trying to give her a reassuring smile. "I'm just going to check your vitals and then I'll go get you some pain relief and tell your doctor you're awake."

Lacey gave her a small smile to say thanks. She laid still on the bed as Connie quickly but efficiently checked her vitals. The nurse gave her a smile once she was done and left the room.

"I'm going to give Jax a call, I'll be right back." Gemma told her, placing a gentle kiss to her forehead before leaving the room.

A few minutes later the nurse returned with the doctor. After checking her over he filled her in on the full extent of her injuries and what to expect. He expressed how happy he was to see she had no permanent damage to her memory. The only thing she couldn't remember was the accident. There was no telling whether she'd remember it or not. Everything else seemed to be healing as well as the doctor expected. Her baby's vitals weren't as strong as they should be for a nine week old unborn infant. But with a little bed rest until she's cleared, Lacey should have a fairly normal pregnancy and carry to full term.

Connie gave Lacey some pain medication that wouldn't harm the baby and took a few tubes of blood from her before leaving the room. After answering a few of her questions, her doctor also left, leaving her alone once more.

Lacey could feel her eyelids start to become heavier as the pain medication started to work. She let out a small yawn as her eyes closed and she drifted off to sleep.

An hour passed by before Lacey woke up again feeling no pain, her pain medication still in effect. She could feel someone in the room with her. His presence was familiar. She opened her eyes and turned her head to see Jax sitting in the chair next to her bed. He was leaning forward with his elbows on his knees and hands under his chin. He looked deep in thought. "Jackson." She said softly in almost a whisper, getting his attention.

He looked up and gave her a small smile. "Glad to see you're still with me Darlin'," he said as he stood up moving closer and sat on the edge of the bed. He took her hand in his.

She returned the smile with a small one of her own. "I always told you I wasn't going anywhere."

"I'm sorry for walking out on you, I know I shouldn't have."

"There must've been a thousand and one thoughts running through your head."

He gave her his signature smirk, his lips curving up at one corner of his mouth. He had his usual twinkle in his eyes. "I've managed to lower it down to five hundred and one." The smug expression left his face as he turned serious. "I don't know what I'd do without you."

"It's a good thing you don't have to find out." She reassured him. "I love you, Jackson Teller."

"I love you too." he replied. He closed the gap between them pressing his lips softly to hers. He pulled away placing his large hand across her stomach. "And our kid."

Lacey smiled covering his hand with her's, linking their fingers together.
