A Second Chance Ch. 12

Liz stared down at the baby that was now in her arms, cute, squishy, and covered in blood. Carefully handing her to the other nurse to get cleaned up, she quickly turned to the exhausting looking mother. "You did good Beth."

With a final check over both momma and baby, Liz made her way down to the ED, her mission was finding Luna, for the last week or so she has been acting a little squirrely, so she was going to sus out what the fuck was up her butt.

It didn't take long to find her, her body covered in blood, she looked like a horror movie extra, "JESUS Luna, are you alright?" she asked, practically tackling her.

Nodding, Luna felt gross, "Yeah, car accident victim, he was out but he woke up during the exam and yanked out the piece of metal that was keeping his femoral artery plugged." Looking down at herself, Luna wanted nothing more than a superhot shower to clean her ass off. "Help me to the shower?"

"Yeah. I got you."

Sitting on the bench, Liz chuckled as she heard Luna groan, "Blood stuck in your hair?" she asked her.

Huffing out in frustration, "Yeah. I swear that stuff went everywhere." Shivering at the memory of it sliding down her back.

Chuckling a bit, Liz could only imagine, while they both handled blood in their jobs, no one wanted to bath in the shit. Chewing her lip, Liz took a quick glance around the room, pleased to see that they were the only ones in here. This was probably the only chance that they would have to really talk alone without someone popping in.

"Moon Beam, you've been acting all kinds of weird, what's up?" Knowing that Luna would tell her.

Freezing in the shower, Luna knew that it was only a matter of time before Liz picked up on her behavior, she was hoping for a little more time before that happened, mostly because she really didn't know what was upsetting her so.

But she was never going to lie to her best friend, shutting off the water, Luna wrapped the towels around her hair and body. Making her way to the bench that Liz was sitting on, Luna just gave her a small smile, "I don't know. A few nights ago, I woke up, and this feeling took over, like the night Jimmy and his goon came to take Abel."

Inhaling deeply, Liz still never got over not being able to protect Luna and Abel, but that she knew that was her pride talking. Placing her hand on Luna's, "Tell me what you need."

Squeezing hers back, "Just promise me you'll keep an eye out. I've ran through everything I know that the club is doing and working on, but nothing is sticking out." Perhaps though, her husband was possibility keeping something from her, "Did Happy mention anything that might be a red flag?" She asked, hopefully.

Taking a moment to everything that they discussed, but like Luna nothing really stood out, "No, things have been relatively quiet, other than what happened with the Mayans a few weeks back."

Frustrated Luna could only nod, "OK." Rubbing the back of her neck, Luna leaned into her friends arms, "I'm serious, keep an eye out." Hating the fact that she could feel something but not having an idea what it was it was almost more stressful than letting it just happen.

Kissing her cheek, "Of course I will." Standing up, "Now get your ass back in some scrubs and finish your shift bitch." Smirking at Luna stuck out her tongue.

For the rest of her shift, Liz couldn't help but watch everyone and everything that happened on her L&D floor, but after a quick rundown on who was here, between staff and patients, everything seemed to be lining up. Looking back down on at the charts, Liz got to work inputting all her notes for her shift, halfway through she could feel someone standing over her, lifting her eyes off the screen, she found the smiling face of Kerrianne.

"Hey sweetie, what's up?" she asked her.

Smiling at her, Kerrianne pulled out her final grade for this semester, "LOOK!" she said, excited to show her friend.

Taking the paper, Liz let her eyes glance over her paper, smiling big when she saw that she passed all her classes. "Congrats baby!" Jumping out of her seat, Liz walked around and gave her a big hug, "Have you told your parents yet?" she asked her.

Squeezing her, "No, I wanted to show you and Luna first, since you both helped me get into college in the first place." Stepping back, Kerrianne couldn't help but finally feel proud of herself, after all that time with Jimmy, always telling her to shut up, never letting her do anything normal, this was a long time coming.

Liz pulled her into a big hug, "Well, then let's go find the Queen and let her know that one of her kids is on her way to becoming a nurse!" Linking her arm through hers, Liz led Kerrianne towards the ED, knowing that whatever else was going on with Luna's senses, this would be a round of good news.

Luna could feel someone watching her, looking up from the computer, she could see that both Liz and Kerrianne had the biggest smiles on their faces. Smiling back, "What has you two smiling like that?" she asked them.

Shoving the paper under her nose, Kerrianne was just too excited to speak.

Unfolding it, Luna could feel her smile get wide, "Baby girl! I am so fucking proud!" Standing up, she pulled the girl into a hug. "We need to go tell your parents, then celebrate!"

It was so strange, the only person that Kerrianne had growing up was her mother, and in her opinion she did the best she could given the man that pretty much held them hostage for 18 years, but now here she was in the US, and she had a whole family watching out for her. "I'd really like that, do you think we can do a spa day? Ma can come too?" she asked them.

Liz could still feel her anger every time she asked something so innocent, always terrified that if she spoke too loudly or said the wrong thing that Jimmy or one of his goons was going to hurt her or her mother. Knowing that it would take some time, Kerrianne was most definitely on her way to truly finding her voice. "Of course, she can baby. We'll invite Gemma, Lyla, Donna, and Luanne too. SON'S lady day."

Luna smiled over at her friend, "That sounds perfect, so, let me close up, and we'll head to the clubhouse, let those meatheads now another RN is coming into the ranks!"

Kerrianne couldn't help but smile, "I still have another 3 years for that Luna, but this is good step." While that was the goal, she really did want to pace herself, but if she didn't stop taking classes, even the accelerated summer courses, perhaps she could get done in 2 years.

Happy was sitting outside with the rest of the guys, outside of working on cars and some deals with the crews, life for SAMCRO was good. Just thinking about it made him almost wanting to smile at the thought, it had been a rough year and some change for the mother charter, but perhaps the Gods were smiling down on them.

Sparing a glance over at the rest of his brothers, he could see that the quiet was good for their souls, while he lived and breathed the violence, the rest of them, would handle their shit, but from time to time they just needed a break.

The biggest change was in Opie, after he got out, Donna was practically making him choose between his responsibilities to the club or their family, but after that night she and Luna were shot at, everything changed for them. Donna practically threw herself into club life, doing everything she can to help Gemma maintain the lot, giving her man the support he needed to be an Outlaw and a husband. Happy could see the stress practically melt off of him, now a little over a year later, he could see the balance between them.

Turning his attention to Jax, becoming President was hard on the man, in theory he should have a little more time before Clay stepped down, but given what transpired the night that Luna was shot protecting Donna, it was a necessary thing. While for the most part he was able to move past that shit, a part of him, the savage part of him always wanted to break the mans hands for hurting her, but he stepped down with grace.

Jax took his job seriously, doing everything to bring in legitimate income to the club, it was a good moral booster. But that wasn't what Happy noticed about the man, it was his head locked on his wife, Luna was his first love, and he'd be lying to himself if it didn't hurt him in the beginning seeing them get together and working in ways that they didn't as a couple, but in time it was clear that they were a better match.

His thoughts were interrupted by Juice whistling out, looking at where his eyes were focusing, smirking at the sight. Luna, Liz, and Kerrianne just pulled up to the lot, letting his eyes look back at Juice, it was obvious that the man had a hard on for Kerrianne, but other than flirting with her occasionally, he hasn't done anything about it, probably cause he was terrified of Chibs.

Kerrianne saw her dad and ran straight into his arms, "Da, I passed my first year with honors!" she yelled out. Practically shoving her paper into his hands, "LOOK!"

Grabbing the paper from his daughter's hand, he looked at everything, a smile graced his face. "I'm su proud of you. Did you tell ya ma?" he asked her.

Shaking her head, "No, not yet, but I'll be heading home in a minute." Looking at Juice who was smiling at her, "Hi." She said, her cheeks tinted a bit.

Juice wanted her, but he was scared to try anything, Chibs would cut him into pieces, "Congrats, you going to do anything?" he asked her.

Liz made her way over to Happy, smiling when he kissed her, "We are planning a lady SONs Day at the spa to celebrate." She whispered into his ear.

Wrapping his arm around her shoulder, "Good, kid deserves it." His eyes watched how Luna wrapped herself around her husband, and how Chibs pulled Kerrianne into his arms, this was exactly what they needed, love and family. Never in a million years did he ever think that he would ever want this, but now that the had his love, his club, and his family, he was fucking certain that he would never be able to go back to being a solitary man again.

Luna watched as Happy pulled Liz into the clubhouse, smirking, she was happy for the two of them. He would always mean something to her, but he and Liz were far better matched. The more she thought of it, she knew that it was important for the both of them to find love, neither experienced it before, at least not so completely, it served a purpose now that they both found their true other half, they could truly appreciate what they have, and give into the love completely.

Turning her attention to her husband, "You have anything planned?" she asked him.

Grabbing her arm, Jax flipped her onto his shoulder and headed into their dorm room, swatting her ass as he did so.

Liz arched her back as Happy deep stroked her from behind, "Fuck Happy." She cried out, her body shaking. Gripping the sheets, she pushed herself back against him, wanting him to cum deep inside her. "Harder Hap, please." She begged him.

Slapping her ass, Happy slowly stroked his cock into her pussy, his eyes turning down, enjoying watching his cock damn hear shine with her juices on him. Spreading her ass cheeks apart, hissing as he felt her pussy walls clamp around him. He was right there on the edge, he needed her to cum before he did, raising his hand, Happy brought it down on her ass, chuckling as she screamed out.

"Cum on my cock, Red. I need to feel your pussy squeeze me." He groaned out. Snapping his hips forward, he knew that he was fucking her raw, but she took it so well.

Reaching down between her legs, rubbing her clit, "Happy, I'm about to cum." She hissed out. Clenching her inner muscles, she could hear him growling out, "Cum inside me baby, please." Her body shaking with the force of her orgasm, falling forward Liz kept her back arched for him knowing that he was on the edge.

Slapping her ass again, Happy couldn't help but moan out as he felt her pussy shake around him, but it was hearing her beg for his cum that pushed him to the edge. Placing his hand around the back of her neck he drove himself into her body, enjoying the sound of their skin slapping together. Feeling his balls tightening, Happy closed his eyes as he felt his cum coat her inner walls, "FUCK, LIZ." He hissed out.

Liz shook a bit as she felt his cum hit her walls, "Happy." Pushing herself back against him wanting to draw every drop out of him.

Gripping her hips tightly, he needed to still her because the sensations that she was sending through his body was too much. Collapsing to the side of her, he kept is cock deep inside her, wrapping his arms around her, Happy placed a kiss on her shoulder just above the crow.

Exhaling slowly, he could feel his heart finally slowing down, pulling her close to his body, Happy finally felt content. Placing his hand on her lower belly, "The moment you say I do that starts the clock." He said, half joking but mostly serious.

Placing her hands on top of his, "OK, I'll even make an appointment with the OB doc for 6 months from our wedding date. Will that make you happy, Happy?" Chuckling as he gently bit her shoulder.

"Do it." Tossing his leg over hers, he pulled her a bit closer, "What wedding shit do you still need to handle?" Wondering if there was something that he would be able to assist her with.

Letting out a small yawn, "Tomorrow I am going to go with Luna and Gem to look at dresses, something simple nothing fancy. After though, I was hoping to talk to Hale, see if he'd let us rent the barn." But that may be a long shot, they both really hated the SONs and since she was an Old Lady, they put her in the same category as them, criminals.

Tensing for a moment at the mention of Hale, he knew it was a long shot that he would even allow her to rent the barn, but know that he knew what she was looking for, while she was with Hale tomorrow, he would secure something with Oswald, he had the big barn just outside town. "OK, well don't get too disappointed if Hale refuses, he's a fucking cuck."

Liz couldn't help but snort, there was no love loss between the SONs and the righteous Hale brothers, but there was nothing that the club could do to change their minds, except leave Charming. Kissing is arm, "That he is, my love, that he is."

Closing her eyes, Liz let herself drift to sleep, doing her best not to think of the last-minute things that she would need for the wedding, but mostly she needed to let her mind not focus on the thing that was upsetting Luna. Turning her head, Liz put her head in the crook of his arm, letting the warmth of his body pull her to sleep.

Mark looked down at the man he was interviewing for the job to find Lizzy, he was a portly man, but he seemed to have a decent track record, and the man did come with amazing references. His boss used him to tail his wife, turns out the bitch was cheating on him, but with the proof that he was able to obtain, he was able to divorce her without paying any alimony.

"Mr. Samuels, I need to find her, once you locate her, just send me the information and I'll take it from there." His eyes never leaving the man that was sitting at in his office.

Resisting the urge to roll his eyes, Kyle just smiled, "Of course, are you sure that's all you want me to do is locate her? I mean I could fly out to where she is, recon her life for you.'' While it would cost more money, it would be stupid for him not to want to know what she has been doing since she left New Jersey, she may have a husband or kid.

Waving his hand, Mark didn't want to pay extra, Lizzy was predictable, she would be working her ass off in a hospital, living in a small apartment, and hopefully regretting her choices of leaving him. "None of that will be necessary, I know her, she's not going to have much going for her. Just get me an address."

Reaching into his desk, Mark pulled out his check book, "How much for the first installment?" he asked, wanting to get this process started as quickly as possible.

Leaning back a bit, he was like every other well to do asshole that wanted his services, thought because he made some decent money, he knew people, but he would almost guarantee that this Liz he was hunting would not be the same girl that he was hoping for.

Clearing his throat, "500 now, another 500 when I find her." While he was sure he could have told the prick more, he was getting way too old to hunt down lost girlfriends because he was a tool.

Smiling down as he wrote the check, "Here you go." Handing him the check, "How long do you think it will take you?" he asked him.

Folding the check, Kyle looked over at his now client, "I should have something for you by end of the day tomorrow." Standing up, extending his hand.

Mark was stunned, "Really, that soon?" Almost surprised that he would be able to find her so quickly. "How can you do that?" He asked the man, taking his hand as he waited for him to answer.

"I'm a former detective, it's my job to find people." Giving him a firm squeeze, "I'll be in touch soon, Mr. Clermont."

Watching the PI leave his office, Mark felt a bit of relief, while he didn't think it was really worth the $1000.00, he was running out of options, he attempted to google her, but she wasn't big on social media, unfortunately this was the most efficient way to track her down.

Turning his attention back to his computer, he could hear a slight knock on his door, looking up Mark couldn't help but roll his eyes, "What is it, Charlotte?" his voice clipped.

Strutting into his office, she made herself comfortable in the chair across his desk, "It's been two years, I cannot believe that you are now looking for her." She said, leaning back a bit in the chair, slowly crossing her legs.

Turning his chair towards her, "She is mine, and as much fun as you were, that was all it was, fun." Enjoying watching her struggle to keep her face composed, and to his surprise she was doing well.

Carefully flicking her brown hair over her shoulder, Charlotte kept her eyes lock"ed on the man in front of her, he was so cocky, he actually thought that she was coming in here to try to woo him back into her pants. He was a decent enough fuck, but not so mind blowing that she was still pining over him after that one time in his office.

"Mark, dear, do you honestly think I'm in here because of that one time we fucked in your office?" Chuckling a bit at his obvious discomfort, "The answer is no, I'm in here for two reasons, one, you need to submit the actuary reports in the next hour or Robbins is going to come down on your ass, and two, for a man that holds himself above like he is too good for everyone around him, seeing Samuels in here just makes you kind of a beta male."

Smoothly standing up, Charlotte winked and turned on her heels, heading back to her office feeling damn good that she was able to put a little chink in his extremely cultivated armor.

His eyes practically burned a hole in the back of her skull, how dare she come into his office and berate him. Turning his attention back to his task, his mind doing it's best not to let her words rattle in his head, but unfortunately, he was failing miserably. Hitting the keyboard a little harder than necessary, the report that his boss needed was finally sent.

Pushing the chair back, he stood quickly and made his way into the breakroom, his mind still raging with anger. Pouring himself a cup off coffee, he let his eyes look over the city below, while Trenton wasn't a raging metropolis, it provided a little of the city life that he so craved. His dream was to be able to move towards Hartford, CT, it was a nicer city, more of culture than anything, but there was a firm that he was trying to get himself into, if he was able to get the job, he would be making close to $200,000 a year. That would be more than enough to keep Liz home and take care of their kids.

However, none of that wouldn't matter unless Mr. Samuels was able to track her down. Letting out a frustrated sigh, Charlotte was wrong, he wasn't a beta male, he was just bringing home what belonged to him, and Elizabeth was his. Shaking off any doubt that Charlotte attempted to put in his brain, Mark made his way back to his office, but as he passed the receptionist desk, he could see the look of distain that was all over her face.

"Becky is there something wrong?" he asked her. She was a fantastic receptionist for him, he'd hate to lose her.

Biting her cheek, she looked up at her boss, "I'm fine sir, just had a rough morning. I apologize." She said to him, keeping her voice as neutral as she could. It wouldn't do her any good to get fired because she thought he was a disgusting pig.

Nodding at her, "Everyone does from time to time." Giving her a small nod, "If you need to take a mental break, go for it. You earned it."

Rebecca watched as he sauntered back into his office, rolling her eyes at the cockiness that was permeating out of pores. Exhaling slowly, she was not even remotely surprised that he hired a PI to find Elizabeth, he was an entitled rich kid, and now that he spent the last couple years fucking anything that moved, he realized that Elizabeth was a good woman, and now he wanted his toy back.

Taking a second to compose herself, Becky grabbed her phone, and headed to the bathroom. She knew it was going to be 7am in California, but this was important, and she didn't want Mark coming up out of nowhere and dropping a bomb in her life.

Liz groaned as she heard her phone ring, "Hello?"

Smiling at the sound of her voice, it had been a long time since they spoke, but before she left, Liz gave her the new number incase of an emergency, and to Becky this seemed like an emergency.

"Elizabeth Miller, how I missed you so."

Perking up, Liz looked at the number on the caller ID, smiling when she saw the name. Then it hit her, she wouldn't be calling so early unless she was in trouble. Sitting up, being mindful not to wake Hap, she carefully got out of bed and headed into her living room.

"Becky, I've missed you too." Hoping that her friend was OK, "Are you alright?" she asked, concerned.

Letting out a sigh, Elizabeth was always so perceptive, "I'm fine, it's Mark." Frowning at sound of her inhaling, just by the sound, Becky knew that it was not the news she was hoping for.

Liz closed her eyes and resisted the urge to throw her phone into the wall, counting to 10, it took another moment before she could speak, but with clenched teeth, she finally asked. "What about Mark?" Her voice starting to fill with anger.

Taking a moment, "He hired a PI to come find you, a Mr. Kyle Samuels. Based on what I was able to hear from the office is that he's just pulling your information to give to Mark, and once he has it, I'm sure he'll be out there trying to win you back."

"SON OF A BITCH!" Liz could feel her body vibrating, needing to calm her ass down, she took a second to formulate her thoughts, "Thanks for the heads up," rolling her neck doing what she could to relieve the tension that was now building in her body.

Feeling bad that she just dropped something like this on her lap so early, "Elizabeth, I'm so sorry." Realizing that she was in the bathroom for more than a few minutes, Becky needed to head back, "Look, I'll text you the moment he makes me book his flight. Be safe Elizabeth."

Smiling a little bit, Liz couldn't help but be grateful that she at least got a heads up, "It's not your fault. Thank you so much, and don't worry about me, I'll be fine." With a final sigh, "Bye Becky, keep in touch."

"Goodbye Elizabeth. I will." Disconnecting the call, Becky made her way back to her desk, keeping her eyes on the man that was now sitting in his office, with a stupid smirk on his face. Shaking her head, perhaps going out there and seeing her life will change his behavior enough for him to just move on.

Looking down at the phone in her hand, she really was tempted to toss it into the trash, but the PI just needed her name and DOB, and all her information would be at his fingertips. Running her hand through her hair, this wasn't what she wanted or needed a week before her wedding, but perhaps when Mark finally did show up, Happy would be more than thrilled to give him a warning he'd never forget.

Rolling her shoulders, Liz pushed the feeling of annoyance to the side, today she was going to secure the location for their ceremony and reception. Mark was just going to be a small bump of irritation on her road to her future.
