Outlaws of Love

1."It's Stella."

"Momma Gem?"The raven haired beauty whispered.

"Stella? Stella baby is that you?"

"Oh Gem,thank god you answered."

"What's wrong? Are you on your way honey?"

"Can you tell pops I'm going to be late?"Stella whispered into the phone,glancing around as she hid behind an old Buick.

"What's going on? Are you okay? Did something happen?"Gemma fired question after question,worried about the girl she had practically raised as her daughter.

"Just tell him I'll be late. I'll explain later."Stella repeated,cursing as a bullet shattered the glass of the car that was protecting her.

"Honey what's happening!"Gemma yelled,itching to leave and find the girl.

The last thing Gemma heard from the line were 5 shots being fired and the line going dead.

Jax heaved a sigh as he laid on his mattress. The thought of having the one woman that no matter what he did,was always on his mind,drove him insane.

It was years ago that she left him,leaving him heartbroken. He loved her,hell,he still loves her. He had spent a long time waiting for this moment,waiting for the day he'd be able to lay eyes on her again. He'd pictured what their reunion would be like,probably a brief argument followed by a night of love making.

His body tensed at the mere thought of Stella,naked and under him,making him groan and try to clear his head.

"Jax!"He heard his name being called.

He huffed and headed out to the bar,his eyebrows raising as he caught sight of his mother pacing and Clay trying to calm her down.

"What happened?"Jax asked Tig.

"It's Stella."Tig sighed.

Those two words were enough to make Jax tense up. He sighed,looking at his mother.

"What happened mom?"Jax asked,grabbing a beer to calm himself down.

"I was on the phone with her and she said she was going to be late. She sounded worried and I-I asked what was going on. I heard gunshots and then the line went dead."Gemma told the story,her voice trembling with fear. Gemma wasn't one to be worried,unless it came to the ones she loved.

"How long ago was this?"Bobby asked.

"Few hours."Clay sighed,patting Gemmas back. He knew she cared for Stella as if she had given birth to the girl.

"Oh Clay,what if someone took her? You know what happened to her last time...oh my god what if someone hurts her again!"Gemma exclaimed.

The guys all looked around,worried looks on their faces. The silence interrupted by the ringing of a phone.

Gemma raced to her purse and pulled her phone out,quickly answering it without checking the caller id.

"Stella?"Gemma questioned. The boys watched her intently,relaxing when they saw her body language relax.

"It's fine honey,take your time. Are you alright?"

There was a pause,Gemma nodded along with what Stella was saying on the other end.

"Be safe. We'll be waiting for you when you get here."Gemma said her goodbyes and hung up with a sigh of relief. She walked behind the bar and started shuffling things around.

"Well?"Clay questioned.

"She said she'd be here around midnight and to have some booze and thread ready."
