A/N: Okay so someone left me a review and I feel like it's something that I need to address. Several things were pointed out so I will address them one by one.
It was pointed out that Bella suspected that she was pregnant when Abel came home but she tells Opie that she never knew. Umm hello she was kidnapped and put into a survival situation wouldn't you forget that you could be pregnant.
Gem keeps the secret of her rape because she doesn't want the boys to go in shoot first ask questions later. She's trying to protect them.
Jimmy is trying to expand his network hence why he's making deals with the Volturi. You gotta remember the Volturi in this story are essentially the Italian Mafia. So their both crazy.
Jimmy got with Fiona to hurt Chibs and to prove that he could take away his life. In Jimmy's mind, Fiona is getting old and he wants someone younger. So yes Jimmy is a perv.
depending on where you get the tattoo and how big it is, determines whether or not its okay during pregnancy. I have worked in the medical field for over 10 years.
Lastly, Bella missing the kids. That's not a bad thing. Some blended families are like that. Where the step parents treat the kids as if they were their own.
This is the last time I'm saying this, you don't like it, don't read it. Sorry that it's been so long. I got stuck. It's not easy trying to write a crossover and figure out how to get everyone in there. Hope you guys enjoy this one!
Chapter 24
Bella POV
When I woke up, I noticed that Ope was asleep in the chair next to me. He had his head resting on the bed beside me. I laid there and just watched him for a few minutes. Things had been rough since before Abel came home from the hospital and then it seemed like things got worse when the accident happened and I'd been kidnapped. I was honestly surprised when Dad found me and got me to the hospital that the baby had survived. With the sedation that Weston kept pumping me full of I wasn't sure that the baby would have survived but then again I wasn't 100% sure that I was actually pregnant. Sure I was sad that I'd had a miscarriage because I wanted to have a baby with Ope, but maybe this was god's way of saying that now wasn't the time and it made sense with everything that the boys had going on with Zobelle. I just hoped that Ope and Dad didn't blame themselves for this happening. On top of everything that had been going on with me now Chibs had nearly been blown up by a minivan. I wasn't sure about a whole lot right now but what I did know was that Clay wasn't going to let this go.
Clay POV
"Boy's got a strong constitution." Wayne said. He'd been the first one to respond to the explosion. Jax was outside talking to Hale, while hopefully I could talk to Wayne and get this under control. "Anybody could take a blast its him." He said as I poured myself a shot. "I ran the registration and vin on the minivan. Both bogus." He said. "I need to know what happened."
"Lot of volatile liquid here at the garage." I finally said.
"Forensics finds anything else, feds will be all over this place. Bombs are Homeland Security shit." Wayne said.
"You let 'em make the evidence point to what it was: an accident." I said.
"I know what you gotta do here, Clay, but we both know Zobelle has caused enough damage in this town." He said. I stared at him. "What happened to Chibs cannot blow back in Charming."
"Then you get me a home address on him and Weston."
"They both live out of town." Wayne said.
"Otherwise I do it here." I said. Enough was enough. I wanted these guys' heads. He was right about one thing…they'd caused enough damage. "Then you'll be watching main street on the 10 O'clock news."
Tara POV
Jax had just tried to play this explosion off like it was nothing. I wasn't stupid though. I knew that something else was going on. I turned to look at Gemma. "This explosion…those the same people who attacked you?" I asked her.
"And if it was?" She replied.
"Maybe if you told somebody about what happened…" I trailed off.
"This isn't on me." She said before she stormed off.
I needed to talk to Bells.
Bella POV
Ope had left hours ago saying that he was needed at the clubhouse. I knew that things were about to get bad but I didn't know how bad until Tara walked in. "What's wrong?" I asked her.
"I don't know what to do." She said.
"What do you mean?"
"This explosion…what if Gemma's attack was connected?" She asked me.
I knew where her thought process was going. "Tara. Sit down." I said. She looked a little shocked that I told her to sit down. "What I'm about to tell you doesn't leave this room. Okay?" I said and she nodded.
Opie POV
Bella and I had talked before I'd gotten called to the clubhouse. She'd told me that the Club needed me more right now than I was needed at the mill. So when I'd left the hospital I'd gone over to the Mill to tell them that I quit. Then I headed over to the Club. Unser was talking to Clay. Jax was over by the garage talking to Hale. I knew that Jax wanted to hold off on Retaliation but after what happened to Chibs there was no way that Clay was going to go for it.
I parked my bike and killed the engine. The guys walked over and Jax made a comment about heading to St. Thomas to check on any kind of news about Chibs. Clay asked me to follow Jax. I think that he was worried about Jax's loyalty. I guess I could understand where he was coming from.
I followed Jax through town and he stopped at what looked like a metal shop. Darby's place. Why was he here? He talked to Hale for a minute before he walked over to his bike. That's when I approached him. "Thought you were at St. Thomas." I said.
"No news on Chibs yet." Jax said. "Figured Darby could point us to Zobelle."
Something was off. "Guess Hale had the same idea?" I asked.
"Guess so." Jax said, lighting a cigarette. "Thought you were running down home addresses."
"Clay wanted fewer guys. Lower profile." I said.
"His club. He knows best." Jax said.
"Anything here?" I asked him.
"Dead end." Jax said before climbing on his bike.
Bella POV
When I'd finished telling Tara everything I knew about Zobelle and Weston she looked like she wanted to scream and cry all at the same time. "And Donna? How does she fit into it?" Tara asked.
I then told Tara everything about what I'd learned about Donna. How she'd thought that once she handed me over to Weston that Weston was going to kill me and she wouldn't have anything else to worry about. I told her how the only thing that Weston had done to me was drug me. That they used me and Gemma to send a message to the Club. "Tara, the boys are going to take care of this but whatever you do stay away from Zobelle and Weston…even though they didn't kill me or Gemma doesn't mean that they won't try something. I don't trust them." I told her.
A little while later, Gemma stopped by and then she and Tara left together.
It was almost midnight when Ope came back. He looked worried. "What is it?" I asked him.
"They've been arrested. All of them." He said.
"Call Tara. Get me outta here." I said and he nodded.
