Life of an Ole Lady

11

The next day we spent it planning and by the time we got back on the plane that night I was exhausted. As soon as we landed Jax and I headed back home to spend the day resting. I was in the kitchen cooking for Dad, Jax, and Opie when another waive of nausea hit me again and I was out the back door. I looked up after puking and seen a man with a Myans patch jumping the fence in the back yard. I watched as he went and got into a car and it drove off. Opie walked in the kitchen as I was walking in. "You good?" He asked me. "Yeah, just a stomach bug I think. I am going to go to the store and get something for it. Watch the food?" I said as I grabbed my keys and ran out the back door before he could argue. I decided to take the truck instead of my car because they would recognise it. I was on the tail of the car. I followed it to this house outside of town. I turned my headlights off and parked at the end of the road and grabbed my gun and went around the back of the house. I looked in a window and seen the man and two other guys walk in and sit at the kitchen table. There were drugs all over the counters and I could see they were cooking down crystal meth on the table. "All I could see was Teller's ole lady but their bikes were there so I know they were inside." the one I seen in my yard said. "If we take out Teller and Winston then the club will lose their two strongest members and we stand a better chance." Another said. I moved around the house when I seen two figures come around the corner. I quickly drew my gun but lowered it when I seen it was Jax and Opie. "What are you two doing here?" I wispered as they came up to me. "We followed you. What the hell are you doing?" Jax said. "Myans, Three of them inside. One was in the back yard. They are planning on comming after you two." I said then we all hid behind the porch as we heard them all come out. "Who's there?" One of them called out. They had their weapons drawn. Jax stepped out and shot one as another shot him in the shoulder. Opie tried to grab me before I ran out and shot the one who shot Jax and was stopped in my tracks when the last one drew two guns and pointed one at my head and one at Jax's. "Drop it." He said and I slowly sat my gun on the grass and put my hands up. "Look do whatever you want to me but leave him alone." I said to him. "What would I want with a stripper?" He said as he placed his finger on the trigger. "Hey asshole, she isn't a stripper. She's an ole lady." Opie said as he walked up behind him and put a bullet in his head. I ran to Jax who was waking up. "Are you okay?" I asked him as I tried to stop the bleeding. "It's just a scratch. We need to get out of here." He said. "Opie help me move the bodies inside, I have an idea." I said. Opie and I moved the three men into the house and I told Opie to get Jax as far away as he could. I found a wiskey bottle and tore the bottom half of my shirt and placed it down in it. I went outside and to the kitchen window and lit the cloth, I tossed the bottle at the rig they had making the meth and the blast was enough to throw me across the yard. "Astrid!" I heard Jax yell as Opie and him ran over to me. "I'm okay. Let's get Jax to the hospital." I said. When we got to the hospital they rushed him back into surgery. Gemma and Clay met us there and dad and the rest of the club were there shortly after. I stood up when the Dr. came out. "Jaxon Teller" He called. We all stood up and Gemma and I stepped forward. "He is fine. we got the bullet removed and nothing major was hit. He will be released soon. Now Miss Winston, my nurse told me you refused treatment until Mr. Teller was taken care of. May I offer it to you now?" He asked. I looked back at dad and Oppie who nodded as Gemma nudged me forward. "I guess so." I said as he led me back into a room. They cleaned up all my scrapes and took some blood for testing. An older lady walked in with a clip board. "Well congradulations Miss Winston, you are pregnant." She said and I felt al the color drain from my face. She handed me some paper work with an appointment to an OBGYN the next day and two bottles of pills. "Now one is a prenatal and the other is for nausea. You need to drink a lot of water and take care of your self." She said before she smiled at me and walked out. I jumped and hid the papers and pill bottles in my bag when Opie and Jax walked in. "What did the Dr say?" They asked when they walked in and Jax pulled me into a hug. "Oh nothing, I'm cleared." I said as I got up and grabbed my bag making sure the papers weren't showing. When we got to the lobby Agent Stallard was standing next to a couple cops from out of town. "Agent Stallard, what can we help you with?" I said forcing a smile. "Well we had witnesses that seen your truck near the sight of an explosion that killed three men." He said as the two officers stepped forward. "I don't know what you are talking about." I said hiding my nervousness. One of the officers asked me to place my hands behind my back before Opie spoke up. "It was us, she didn't leave the house." Opie said as he and Jax stepped infront of me. "Yeah, we seen the fire and went to see what happened. She was home cleaning out the attic. That's why she is so dirty. There must have been guns in the house because thats where I got shot. We came staight here from there." Jax said as the cops placed them in cuffs. "We will need to take you two in and you will be held without bond until your court date." He said as they pulled them out of the hospital. Tig grabbed me and held me as I tried to go after them. "We will call a lawyer tomorrow and figure this out. Okay?" He said in my ear as I started to cry. "Come on baby girl, you can stay with us tonight." Gemma said as they walked me out of the hospital. I looked over at Jax as they were putting him into the back of a cop car. Tears streamed down my face the entire ride to Gemmas.
