Gen drove herself home that night, with a motorcycle on her tail. She swore to God if it was Fillip Telford their unborn child might be fatherless because she might shoot him. She drove up the drive and parked in front of the house and waited for the biker to get off his bike, Tig got off his bike.
"What the hell are you doing here Tig?"
"Chibs wanted to make sure you got home okay!"
"Tell him I said go to hell! I don't require his care anymore!"
She slammed into the house before she burst into tears. There was a knock on the door, she flung it open and Tig pulled her into his arms.
"Do you want Uncle Tig to kick his ass?"
"No, I can kick his ass on my own. But thanks for offering!" He kissed her forehead and left the house. She locked the door and fixed herself something to eat. She put a hand over her stomach and thought okay baby, it's you and me.
He phone rang the caller ID showed it was Fillip, she ignored it. She really didn't want to hear anything he had to say, it rang again. She didn't look to see who it was.
"What the fuck do you want?"
"Gee, baby sister...just wanted to see if you got home okay. What's wrong?"
"Nothing!"
"Not when you answer the phone that way."
"Nothing I can't handle."
"Genevieve Caitlin Teller!"
"Fine, I was seeing someone, he broke my heart tonight. We broke up!"
"Do you want me to kick his ass?"
"No, but thank you!" She ended the call and climbed the stairs and went to bed.
She had only been asleep for a hour when someone was beating on her door, she rolled over looking at the clock it was ten pm. What in the hell? She walked down stairs and peeked out the window and saw Fillip standing on the porch.
"What do you want?"
"I need to talk to you Lass!"
"I don't want to talk to you!"
"Please!"
"No. I'm tired and not feeling well. Go home!" She went up stairs and went back to bed. At least tomorrow was Saturday and she could sleep late. Jessie had hired two new ranch hands to take care of the chores. They would start tomorrow, she would meet them in the afternoon. She fell into an exhausted sleep.

Someone was shaking her awake, as soon as she found out who it was she was going to kill them. She opened one eye, her stomach rolled, she jumped out of bed and ran for the bathroom barely making it in time. She rinsed her mouth out and washed her face, she walked back into her bedroom and her mom was sitting on her bed. Just freaking great.
"What are you doing here mom?"
"How far a long are you?"
"Four weeks."
"Does the father know?"
"No."
"Who is it?"
"It doesn't matter any more. I prefer if we keep this between us. Jax isn't to know."
"Why baby?"
"I have my reasons mom."
"Can I tell Clay?"
"No, no one in the club is to know!"
"Gen..."
"Mom...please..."
"Alright baby."
"Besides...I won't be able to hide it before to long. Why are you here?"
"Jax said you passed out last night. I guess this is why?"
"Probably."
"Do you know Chibs is asleep on your porch?"
"What the hell?"
Gen got up and went down stairs and out the door. She shook Fillip awake. "I told you to go home. I didn't want to talk to you."
"Lass, please...let me explain..."
"There's nothing to explain Fillip. Secrets and Lies..."
"I did it to protect you!"
"I have nothing to say to you!"
She slammed back into the house and ran into Gemma. "Damn it Mom!"
"Is Fillip the father."
"Mom!" She looked away.
Gemma grabbed her arm. "Baby girl, you need to tell him if he is."
"Why mom? According to him, we've never been together, at least that's what he told Jax last night. So then there's no baby. So then there's nothing to tell him." She put a protective hand over her stomach. "It's just me and the kid."
Gemma pulled her into her arms and gave her a hug. "He's scarred baby. He's afraid that someone will hurt you because of him."
"That's a big crock of shit and you know it mom."
"So what are you going to do?"
"Have this baby."
"And Chibs?"
"I guess I'll have to tell him, eventually. On my time frame."
"As long as you tell him!"
"I will."
"Let's go to breakfast and baby shopping!"
"Mom..."

"I've been watching her house, I think she's on her own."
"Good. Let's start out slow. Before we destroy her."
"I can take her now!"
"Have some patience Tucker!"
"Fine! What's first?"
"We don't want her to think she isn't safe. She'll be protected again. We need something subtle."
"Got it!"

Chibs was in a foul mood and everyone noticed. One of the crow eaters walked up to him and draped herself around him. "Hey, baby!"
He shrugged her off. "Get away from me gash!"
"Let's go have some fun baby!"
"Not interested!" She walked away pouting.
Clay walked up to him and slapped him on the back. "What's wrong brother, she was easy pickings!"
"I'm not interested. I have something better, but I screwed it up. I need to talk to you and Jax!"
"What about?"
"I need to talk to you about Genevieve in private." Chibs took a shot of whiskey and walked into a backroom. Clay went over and got Jax and pulled him over to the backroom that Chibs disappeared into.
"What's this all about?" Clay asked.
"Last night you asked me about Gen and me."
"We've been together, Jax. I lied...I have feelings for her. I wasn't thinking clearly yesterday. I'm sorry." Jax walked over and punched Chibs in the face.
"That's for lying to me!" He then went over and hugged him. "She's hella pissed at you brother!"
Clay just stared at him. "What exactly do you plan on doing with my little girl?"
"I want to be with her Clay, if she'll have me. I hurt her last night. I have to beg her forgiveness."
"She's with Gemma this morning. Go find her! Good luck. She's stubborn and has a temper."
Chibs left the club house and went to find Gen and Gemma. He was glad he had Jax and Clay's blessing. He just hoped it wasn't too late and he hadn't lost her.

"Mom, it's too early to be baby shopping. I'm only four weeks."
"Humor me. Let me buy the first outfit."
"Fine!" It was nice to have this bonding time with her mom. For so many years she thought Gemma hated her and wished she would have died instead of Thomas. Maybe it was time to let all of that go, and let her in. She heard a motorcycle and looked up to see who was coming. Shit, it was Chibs coming down the street. He saw her and Gemma on the street. He stopped his bike and got off, he took off his helmet and walked up to them.
"Gemma."
"Hi, baby. How are you doing?"
"I've been better." He was looking at Gen. Gen looked down at her feet, she wouldn't look at him.
She was hit with another wave of dizziness. Shit! Shit! Shit! She started to fall forward. He caught her around the waist and pulled her to him. She passed out for a few minutes.
"Gen?"
She opened her eyes and was looking into his. "I'm fine." Gemma handed her a bottle of water, she opened it and took a drink.
"I'm taking you to the hospital. That's twice you've passed out in twenty four hours."
"I don't need to go to the hospital. I'm fine!"
"Gemma, help me out! Tell her she needs to go!"
"Chibs, she's fine."
"She isn't fine. Damn it!"
He scooped her and carried her to his motorcycle. "I'm taking you to the bloody hospital Lass!"
"Damn it Fillip! I'm pregnant!"
He looked at her like he'd been shot, he put his hand on her stomach. "How far..." He cupped her face and kissed her.
"I'm four weeks along. Are you happy?'
"Can you forgive me for last night for Jax? I told Jax and Clay about us. I'm in love with you Gen."
"I love you too Fillip."
He put his hand on her stomach "I'm very happy about our baby." He kissed her again. Gemma walked up and cleared her throat.
"I take it, all is good?"
"Yes, mom...all is good."
"So, can we announce that there is going to be an edition to our family?"
"I rather wait a few months...but you can make the announcement when I'm ready!"
"All right!"

He refused to drive her home on his motorcycle, he made Gemma take her home. Once they were inside the house he pulled her into his arms and held her close and kissed her. He picked her up and carried her to the couch, he sat down and pulled her on his lap.
"We're going to have a baby. What do you want to do?"
"What do you mean?"
"I want to do right by you Gen."
"Are you going to love, protect, and care for our baby?"
"Yes..with everything I have. I pledge my love and protection to you too!"
"That's all I want from you!"
The sound of motorcycles interrupt them. She hopped up to see who was here. "Oh hell! It's Clay and Jax! Why do I have a feeling Gemma told them?" She looked out and Gemma pulled up in her car. "You might want to hide!"
She opened the door. "Hi guys! What's going on?"
"Where is he?" Clay roared. Chibs was standing by the fireplace looking at the door.
"Oh for Christ sake! What's the problem?"
Jax came running into the house. "You knocked up my sister?"
"Oh hells bells! Calm down! Jax!"
"What are you going to do about it Telford?" Clay was in his face.
"We were just discussing that when you two came busting in uninvited." Gemma came inside with Tara. "Thanks mom, I thought we had an agreement!"
Chibs took Gen's hand and stood in front of Clay and Jax. "We've been discussing what we are going to do. I'm going to stand by her and the baby. I pledge my love and protection to them both."
"And I'm okay with that. Now you two need to back off and let me be a grown up!"
Gen went and hugged Jax and Clay. "Thank you for being my protectors, but it's okay." She hugged her mom and Tara. "Take your men home, they've had too much excitement for one night. They four of them left for home.
Chibs took Gen in his arms and carried her up stairs to their bed and made love to her. She fell asleep in his arms that night, she couldn't remember ever being so happy.

Gen walked over to the clinic Monday morning as was going over her schedule with Glenda. She had a full day ahead of her. Before Chibs left for work he made her promise to eat lunch and snacks through out the day. She had met her new ranch hands that morning when she went out to the stables to check the horses. Tyson and Bert were family members of Jessie and Mark.
She was exhausted by eleven am, she sat down and ate some yogurt, she lay her head down on her desk and fell asleep for twenty minutes. Glenda was shaking her awake.
"Gen, Ge, Wake up!"
"MMMMM, What? I'm sorry!"
"It's okay! Your 11:30 canceled. Mr.. Telford is on line one."
"Thank you Glenda."
She picked up the phone and punched the button. "Hi!"
"You didn't answer you phone I was worried."
"Sorry, I fell asleep at my desk."
"It's okay."
"Your going ti worry yourself to death if your not careful!"
"I was just checking on you!"
"I appreciate it. Now get to work before they make fun of you for being a old lady!"
"I love you Gen!"
"I love you too Filip!"
She hung up the phone and got started on her afternoon.
