Two Weeks Later

Her blood curling scream ripped through the night, one after the other, the door hit the wall, she couldn't wake up from this one. Everywhere she turned there was a monster ready to grabbed her. She felt hands one her, she started to hit and scratch, trying to get away, afraid to open her eyes, because it would be yet another monster.

"Hailey, baby..."

"Please...don't hurt me...please..." She was begging.

His heart was breaking, he climbed into bed with her, pulling her into his arms. "Hailey, it's me baby. Open your eyes and look at me."

She whimpered, opening her eyes, she was looking into his dark brown eyes. "Opie..." Tears were streaming down her cheeks. "Please just hold me."

He held her close to him, she was still shaking from her nightmare, she tried to settle her breathing and go back to sleep but she was afraid of the darkness and nightmares. She relaxed against him, not ever going back to sleep.

She looked at herself in the mirror, she looked like hell, dark shadows under her eyes, she was tired but was afraid to sleep. She placed her hands on her stomach, she needed her rest, it wasn't good for her or the baby. She had a doctor's appointment this morning, then she was going back to her house, to stay, she had stayed two weeks, but nothing had changed between them, they were more like roommates then lovers. He only held her last night because of her nightmares, if it hadn't been for those, she would have woke up alone this morning.

She had a doctor's appointment with Dr. Lam this morning, then she was going home to her house. She got ready, leaving the house she still had an escort, she's have to loose them later. She stopped by TM,she wanted to make sure she was doing the right thing, by leaving. She didn't see Opie, in the garage, she went into the clubhouse. Her eyes had to adjust to the light change, Chucky was tending bar.

"Where's Opie?"

"In his room."

She walked back to his room, opening the door, he was sitting on his bed, half dressed. He looked up at her in surprise, she looked at him, a crow eater came out of the bathroom, wearing his shirt and a pair of panties. She looked at him, walking out not saying a word, he chased her down the hall.

"Hailey, wait!"

"For what? I'll get my shit and be out of your house by tonight."

"Please...let me explain!"

"Right! You just fucked a crow eater...I guess I was just fooling myself in thinking we had something. Don't worry about me or this baby, you don't have to take responsibility for anything! Including me."

She stormed out of the club house, Chibs tried to stop her. "I swear to God, Chibs, get out of my way or I will knock you on your ass!"

She pushed passed him, peeling out of the parking lot, she left for her doctor's appointment, tears streaming down her face. She had to calm down, getting upset wasn't good for her or the baby. She walked into the hospital, going to her appointment, no big surprise her blood pressure was elevated. She walked out the door to leave, Opie was sitting in a chair waiting for her.

She walked past him, not acknowledging him, he grabbed her arm. "Hailey, please!"

"Please what?"

"Talk to me."

"I have nothing to say to you!" She walked past him, out to the parking lot to her car. He chased after her calling her name. She stopped at her car, turning around, looking at him.

"I get it, you can't stand to look at me or touch me because I was raped..." She said with hurt in her voice.

"Hailey..." He pulledher into his arms. "I haven't touched you because, I thought it was too soon... I've wanted nothing more then to hold you. I've sat and watched you sleep every night since it happened. When you woke up screaming...begging not to be hurt..."

"Opie...I love you, but you hurt me. I need some time to think, for now I'm going back to my house."

"I'm sorry...I love you, please forgive me."

She got in her car, leaving the hospital, she didn't know if she could trust him ever again.

She was sitting laying on her couch, taking a nap she was exhausted. The morning had left her physically and emotionally exhausted, she came home from her appointment and crashed. The early afternoon sun was shining through her windows, when she woke up. She got up from the couch, stretching she was hit by a sharp pain, that took her to her knees.

She couldn't stand up, she crawled over to her phone. "Opie...help me!" She passed out from the pain.

She woke up in the hospital, Opie was sitting by her side. "The baby?"

"The baby is fine." He kissed her forehead.

"What happened?"

"They aren't sure, what caused the pain, but the baby is fine."

"Thank you for coming."

"Hailey..."

"Would you stay with me?"

He looked down at her, sitting back down in the chair, he took her hand in his. "I love you Hailey."

"I love you too"

She knew in her heart she would forgive him, it would take awhile for her to trust him again, and not feel hurt by what he had done. A part of her would always wonder why he had slept with someone else, but she would never have the courage to ask him. She closed her eyes, drifting off to sleep, she felt his hand on hers.

"Will you come home with me, so I can take care of you?"

She looked at his pleading eyes. "Yes" She said quietly.

She left the hospital, climbing carefully into Opie's truck he drove them home. He pulled into the drive, he helped her out of his truck, putting his arm around her waist, he guided her into the house. He led her to the couch, easing her carefully down, she leaned her head back closing her eyes. The sound of shattering glass woke her up, she looked around the livingroom, she was alone.

"Ope?"

She walked down to the bedrooms, he wasn't there, she walked back towards the kitchen, hearing a noise in the laundry room, she opened the door. Ellie and Kenny were tired up, she rushed to them, untying them.

"Where's your dad?"

"The bad men took him back" Ellie cried.

She handed Ellie her phone. "You two go lock yourselves in your dad's bedroom, call your uncles. Tell them the bad men are back."

"Come with us, Hailey!"

"I'm going out to see about your dad! Go!"

She watched them run towards the bedroom, she pulled open the kitchen drawer, pulling out Opie's extra gun. She opened the back door, stepping outside, she saw him, tied to the swingset. She walked towards him to untie him, he was bloody, and bruised.

"Hailey, get out of here!"

"Not without you!"

An arm snaked around her waist dragging her away, she struggled against him, screaming for help.

She sat up gasping for air, looking around the livingroom, Opie was sitting next to her sleeping. Feeling her jerk awake, his arms were around her.

"Hailey..."

She looked at him, she buried her face into his chest. "Please, just hold me. Don't let me go, don't let them hurt me!"

He pulled her into his arms holding her tightly. "No one is going to hurt you...I've got you!"

She raised her head up, looking in his eyes, she cupped his face kissing him. She heard him groan, his hand went to the back of her neck pulling her close to him, kissing her back.

"I love you Opie! I need you."

"Hailey...I live you too!" He placed his hand over her stomach. "I promise to protect you and our baby."

She closed her eyes, laying her head on his shoulder. She knew without a doubt, he'd protect his family. They just sat that way for awhile, not saying anything, just holding each other. The sound of a car in the drive brought her to her feet. Opie scooped her up in his arms, laying her back down on the couch.

"Lay down and rest." He smiled down at her.

Kenny and Ellie came bursting through the door, followed by Tara and Jax. Hailey sat up on the couch smiling at the couple, they came in with their children Abel and baby Thomas.

"How are you feeling?" Jax asked, leaning down kissing her on the cheek.

"Better, thank you. "

"We brought dinner." Tara said hugging her.

"Thanks."

Tara took the food into the kitchen, sitting the food out on the counter, while Ellie helped her. Opie and Jax were outside talking. Hailey had been given strict orders not time move from the couch, to lay still and rest.

She slowly got up from the couch, wandering into the kitchen she helped Tara and Ellie get dinner on the table. Two arms wrapped around her waist, pulling her back against his chest, his mouth kissed her ear.

"I thought I told you to lay down and rest!"

"I'm fine, you worry to much."

She turned around in his arms, looking up at him smiling. He lifted her up, holding her against him, she wrapped her arms around his neck kissing him. They both laughed when they heard Ellie and Kenny saw "Ewwww!"

He sat her gentlely on the ground, his arms still wrapped around her. Jax slapped him on the back, laughing.

"Brother, if you can keep your hands off her, Tara says it's time to eat."

Opie released her from his hold, pulling her to the table. She sat down next to him at the table, she smiled at her friends and family as they ate.

She crawled into bed next to him that night, he pulled her into his arms. She rested her head on his chest. He kissed the top of her head, his hands moved up and down her back. She raised her head up to look at him, she kissed him gentlely.

He kissed her back, his hands entwined in her hair, pulling her closer to him. "Love me Opie. I need you to love me!"

"Are you sure?"

She grabbed his face, looking into his eyes. "Yes, I need you."
