Grant sat in Darby's kitchen talking revenge against a certain SAMCRO member and teacher. Darby was always up for reeking havoc upon SAMCRO making their lives hell.

"I want them both to suffer for humiliating me!"

"They will! They way you hurt SAMCRO, is to hurt the ones they care about. We go after his old lady, and just threaten his kids. It will send him over the edge."

"When do we start?"

"Now."

"What are you doing?"

"Going to bed."

She watched him folding himself om her couch, she rolled her eyes. The six foot biker looked ridiculously uncomfortable laying on her couch.

"Get up! You're not sleeping on my couch! Come sleep with me in my bed."

"Hailey.."

"It's a king sized bed. Just to sleep, calm down!"

She took his hand pulling him off the couch. She led him to her bedroom, she pulled back the blankets and crawled into bed. She curled up in a ball, waiting for him to get into bed. She felt the bed shift, as he laid down on the opposite side of the bed. She pulled the blankets up over them, she rolled over to face him.

"Good night."

She leaned down and kissed him. Her hair hanging down in his face, he brushed it back. Wrapping his hand around the back of her neck, he pulled her back down for a kiss. He released her, looking in to her eyes.

"Good night,"

She laid back down and drifted off to sleep. Sometime during the night they both met in the middle of the bed, she ended up in his arms. Her feet were cold, she stuck them on his warm legs, she heard him inhale, she let out a small laugh.

"Damn women, your feet are like ice."

"I know and you're so warm!"

She felt his warm breath on her ear, she turned her face towards him. She kissed him, caressing his face, she closed her eyes. His arms were still around her, there was a knock on her bedroom door.

"Ms. Clark, we're hungry! " Ellie said.

She smiled at Opie, rolling out of bed she got up to fix Ellie and Kenny breakfast. Opie got up and got dressed, following her to the kitchen.

"Dad!" Ellie and Kenny jumped out of their chairs running to Opie.

She smiled at the family, she started a pot of coffee, and made breakfast. She went to take a shower and get ready for work. She wrapped a towel around her body and stepped out of the shower. She was startled when Opie walked into the bathroom.

He froze looking at her, standing there with only a towel wrapped around her body, he was fighting the urge to pick her up, sit her on the counter, and make love to her. He closed his eyes, and clinched his jaw, this was going to be harder the he thought.

He wanted to take it slow and not rush into it with her, she deserved to be treated with respect. She grabbed her robe, pulling it on she dropped the towel to the floor. He saw a hint of her body, through the opening of her robe. He closed his eyes, trying to get a grip on his self control.

She looked at him, smiling she walked to her vanity pulling the towel off her hair, she towel dried her hair. She rain her fingers through her hair, it was curly and out of control. She picked up her hair dryer, she bent over flipping her hair over to blow dry her hair.

He watched her, his self-control slowly slipping away, she stood up, flipping her hair back. He walked over to her, spinning her around, he picked her up in his arms, pulling her close to him. Her robe gaped opened, she wrapped her arms around his neck. He kissed her, his hands lifting her robe up. His hand were on her bare ass. He was pressing her against him, she could feel him.

He sat her on the counter, pulling open her robe, looking at her body.

"God, you're beautiful!" She let the robe drop from her body. He unbuckled his pants, there was a knock on the door.

"Dad..."

He groaned, she smiled at him pulling her robe back on, while he got himself back together. He left the bathroom to see which of his children needed him.

She finished getting ready for work feeling frustrated. They'd been so close, she really wanted their first time to be a nice slow long one in bed but a quickie in the bathroom would be nice too. She walked into the livingroom and everyone was gone.

We'll how do you like that? Not even a good bye!

She got her things together and left for school, pulling into the parking lot she pulled into her space, Opie was parked next to her. She got out of her car, pulling out her purse and bag. He and the kids got out of his truck, he caught her arm, pulling her in his arms, he kissed her, whispering sorry in her ear, she just smiled up at him. She and the kids started to walk into the school, a car came barreling out of no where, Ellie was a few steps ahead of her, She was right in the path of the car. Opie yelled Ellie's name, without thinking about consequences, Hailey shoved Ellie out of the way, stepping into the path of the car.

She was hit and thrown a couple of feet, landing on her hip, her head striking the pavement, knocking her out for a few minutes. She opened her eyes, Opie was at her side, Ellie was behind him crying, Kenny was hugging his sister. She tried to get up, but Opie pushed her back down.

"Don't move, the ambulance is on it's way."

"Is Ellie okay? She didn't get hit, did she?"

"No, she's fine. Just lay still."

"I'm fine, really."

"No, arguments, be still!"

She could hear the ambulance coming, along with Charming law enforcement, there was a crowd forming around them. She was loaded into the ambulance and taken to St. Thomas to be checked out, she kept insisting she was fine, but no one would listen to her. She wasn't fine after all, she had a nasty head lac that required twenty stitches, a concussion, a bruised hip, and a broken wrist.

She was laying on the gurney, feeling no pain they had given her some pain meds, when Opie walked into the exam room.

"Opie! You big stud! Come over here and give me a kiss!" He walked over and kissed her on the forehead. "Come on big sexy, you can do better then that."

He looked down at her smiling. "You feeling okay, Hailey?"

"Yep!"

He looked down noticing the cast on her left wrist, he winced knowing she must be in pain. She had dozed off to sleep, the pain meds kicking in, she was mumbling incoherently in her sleep. The doctor walked into the exam room to check on her, Opie stood up.

"I'm Dr. Boxdorfer."

"I'm Harry Winston, I'm Hailey's boyfriend."

"Will you be staying with her tonight?"

"Yes. Is she okay?"

"She has a bruised hip, broken wrist, concussion, and twenty stitches in the back of her head, we've given her something for pain, so she maybe out of it."

"Thank you, doctor."

"She'll need someone to take care of her today, and tonight."

"I will."

The doctor left the room, to take care of other patients. Hailey opened her eyes, looking at Opie she smiled at him.

"I love you!" She closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

The air left Opie's lungs, the doctor said she was out of it, maybe she didn't know what she was saying. He know he cared for her, but it was too early to be saying love. He sat back in his chair, looking down at her, he suddenly didn't feel so well.

She slowly woke up, she hurt all over she was searching her memory as to what happened. She remembered pulling into the school's parking lot, getting out of her car, seeing Opie and the kids, kissing him, walking towards the school, seeing a car heading towards Ellie...

She moaned opening her eyes, she looked around the room, Opie was sitting in the chair next to her bed, Ellie and Kenny were laying on the couch, an older gentlemen was sitting in a chair next to Opie. The old man heard her moan, he woke up, he was staring at her.

"I'm Piney, Opie's dad."

"I'm Hailey, Kenny's teacher."

"You saved Ellie's life, thank you."

"I...No thanks is necessary..."

Opie woke up, hearing them talk, he sat up, pushing the hair out of her face. "Are you hurting bad?"

"I feel like I got hit by a car!" She smiled at him."

"I can't even find the words Hailey...what you did..."

"Opie..." He leaned down, kissing her. "It was hit and run, wasn't it?"

"Did you get a look at the driver?"

"It was an old man, all I saw. Didn't recognize him."

That afternoon she met the SAMCRO family, it was a moment that would change her life forever.
