...Chapter 5..

Ten minutes later, the door swung open, followed by all the guys, Gemma, Katie, Cassie, and Lyndsay walking in. Most of them stayed in Kozik's room visiting for the next two and a half hours, then a couple of them had to get back to the shop. It was just the girls, Happy, Tig, Jax, Juice hanging out, and Stephanie hasn't moved from her spot in the recliner.

"Okay." Tig started with a chuckle. "I gotta say it... but I knew sooner or later, this dumb bastard would do something stupid as getting into an accident." Stephanie shot him a glare, because Tig's been saying little smart ass remarks, since he walked into the room. "And I doubt he'll even wake up."

That was the last straw for Stephanie, then seconds later, she got up from her seat, and lunged at Tig. She managed to punch him in the face as hard as she could, before Happy pulled her off of him. "You fucking asshole!"

"What the fuck was that for, Steph!" Tig winced, grabbing his cheek.

"What is your problem?" Katie asked, looking at it.

"I don't know or give a shit what beef you and Koz have, you're not gonna come in here talking shit about him, especially when he's unable to defend himself."

"What?" Tig looked confused.

"Get out." Stephanie seethed through her teeth, still glaring at him, and still being held back by Happy.

"No." he shook his head. "I don't have to."

"Get the fuck out, Tig or so help me God, I'll kick your ass out of here."

Jax raised his eyebrow, then smacked Stephanie on her arm. "What's going on with you?"

"Don't, Jax... not now."

"Just go ahead and go, Tig." Jax pulled him by his arm.

"All right." Tig got into Stephanie's face, pointing his finger at her. "You must be on your period or something, so I'll let that one slide."

"Get out of my goddamn face... stay away from this room and stay the hell away from Koz."

Tig looked at Jax incredulously. "Your sister is a fucking nutcase."

"Katie." Stephanie started. "Get your man or I'm gonna stab him in the eye."

"Come on, Tig." she pulled on his cut, because she knew Stephanie was beyond pissed off. "Let's go."

"Fine." he nodded. "But Steph, you better watch yourself."

She scoffed. "You are in no position to threaten me."

"Come on, Tig!" Katie yanked on his cut again, then both of them, Cassie, Lyndsey, and Juice walked out of the room. Seconds later, Happy slowly let go of Stephanie, then she sat back in the recliner.

"Steph." Jax started. "You wanna explain to me what the hell that was about?"

"No, not really." she slightly shook her head.

"Steph..."

"Just leave it alone, Jax."

"Fine." he groaned. "For now, but maybe you should go home to Moms or something."

"No, I'm not leaving Koz." she crossed her arms over her chest. "I'm staying with him and nobody is gonna keep me from being in here." Jax opened his mouth to say something, but Crystal slightly shook her head.

"You two can go... I'll stay and keep an eye on Steph." Happy suggested.

"Okay." Jax nodded, then him and Crystal walked out of the room.

Minutes later, Stephanie rolled her eyes. "Don't look at me like that, Hap."

"All I was gonna say was... Koz would be proud to know, you standing up to Tig like that."

"Well, I was getting tired of hearing all of his bullshit." she shook her head. "I don't know what came over me, I just snapped."

"You were protecting your man and now that you've caused a scene, everyone will know that's something's up between you two, and they'll be asking questions."

"Hap, I don't even care anymore... let them know, I mean, my secret will get out eventually."

"What secret?" Happy asked, raising his eyebrow. Stephanie stood up and lifted her shirt, exposing her little baby bump, and Happy's eyes widened. "W-what is that?"

"I'm pregnant... Koz is gonna be a daddy, so that means, he needs to pull through this, and wake up."

Happy nervously rubbed his head. "Oh, shit." he groaned, knowing that this news is going to bring a huge shit storm with the club.

"Crys." Jax started as they walked into his house. "I need you to tell me what the hell is going on with my sister... because I've never seen her like this before."

"All right, I'll tell you, but you're not gonna like it." Crystal sat down and took a deep breath. "While we were at Macy's today, while walking through the little kids section, Steph was talking about what it'd be like to have a baby and I thought nothing of it."

"Okay." Jax nodded, not knowing where she was going with this.

"After she got the call from Happy that something happened to Koz, she flipped and when we were going up to his room, in the elevator, that's when she told me."

"Told you what?"

"Steph loves Koz, more than I seen her love anyone or anything, and she's pregnant with his baby."

Jax's eyes widened. "You're kidding."

"Nope, she's definitely pregnant... I felt her belly."

"So, that's why she went off on Tig, she was protecting him." Crystal nodded. "Shit, this is not good, because Clay is gonna be pissed, and he'll probably try and kill Koz, if he gets out of his coma."

"Well, I think Clay and everybody else, will have to go through Steph to get to him, and I don't think he or they will be able to."

"Why not?"

"You saw what happened with Tig today... all I'm saying is, it's not smart to mess with a hormonal pregnant woman." she shook her head. "Steph was off her rockers, in kill mode."

"So, Tig." Clay started, taking a puff of his cigar, trying not to laugh. "What did Steph do?"

"She's fucking crazy... she punched me in the face for talking shit about Kozik."

"Why?"

"Don't know, Clay." Tig shook his head. "She has lost her marbles or something."

"I'll talk to her... just give her some time to cool off."

"Fine, but if she hits me again..."

Clay put up his hand to stop Tig from talking. "You will do nothing to her or I'll kill you myself... just come and get me, I'll take care of it."

Tig glared at him for a second, then nodded. Even though him and Clay are best friends, Tig knows that the only two things that can ever come in between them is, Gemma and Stephanie.

Happy had stepped out of the room to smoke a cigarette, leaving Stephanie in the room alone with Koz. A few minutes later, Tara walked in and started checking his vitals. "You know." Tara started. "If you talk to him, he'll be able to hear you."

"Really?"

"Yeah... even though he's in a coma, his brain hasn't shut off, I mean, it's still working, and he can hear his surroundings. Sometimes you'll see his eyes moving behind his eyelids or his fingers and toes will twitch, it's just what they do."

"Why are you telling me this... and being nice to me?"

Tara sighed. "Look, Steph, I can see it in your eyes that you're in love with Koz, I'm just trying to help you feel better with this situation."

"Oh." she nodded.

"Just try talking to him, who knows... your voice might be the thing to bring him out of it."

"Okay... I'll try and talk to see what happens."

"Good." Tara gave her a weak smile. "I'll be in later to check on him." then she walked out of the room.

Stephanie stared at Koz for a few seconds, then grabbed his hand, clearing her throat. "Um... I don't know how to talk to you like this, because I know you won't answer me back." she ran her fingers through his hair with her free hand. "I'm so sorry for telling you that we didn't need you, it's not true, we do need you... the baby and I need you." a few tears fell down her cheeks. "Koz, you're gonna be a daddy, so I need you to wake up. I need to tell you how sorry I am and that I love you." she rested her head down on the bed, by his side. "I'm right here and I'm not gonna leave you, but please, wake up." she just sat like that, silently crying.
