"What's the word on Juice?" Jax asked Chibs, who had stepped outside to smoke.

Chibs shrugged,"They got the boy in surgery now. Won't know much else for awhile they said."

"And Liz?" Jax asked.

"Tig's goin' crazy in the waiting room. They won't tell him anything right now. She's in surgery too," Chibs told him, looking down at his feet and shaking his head.

"I'm gonna send Hap back to Charming. These fuckers may decide to make another visit," Jax said before walking back to Happy.

"Give me some fuckin' answers here," Tig screamed after the fourth hour had went by and no doctor had been out to see him.

"Sir, I'm sorry. We will let you know as soon as we do. She is still in surgery at the moment," the receptionist told him.

"You've been sayin' that for the past four hours. Is the baby alright? Does anyone know anything?" Tig asked as Jax came up and grabbed his arm, pulling him outside.

"Man, they're doin' everything they can," Jax told him, trying to give him some reassurance.

Tig, with tears in his eyes, shook his head,"What if she dies man?"

Jax grabbed his shoulders," She ain't gonna die. She's tough, and so is y'all's kid."

Tig nodded his head although Jax's words didn't help at all.

"You go in there and wait. I'm gonna head back to Charming. Call me as soon as they tell you what happened. You get with her as soon as she's in recovery. They'll call the cops and wanna know what happened. Come up with a story and have her tell the cops that," Jax told him, pulling him in for a hug before jumping on his bike and heading back to Charming.

Tig walked in just as the doctor who had been operating on Elizabeth walked through the operating room doors.

"Are you Mrs. Ross's husband?" The doctor questioned. Tig nodded his head, knowing he wouldn't get any information other wise.

"She's in stable condition. The bullet went straight through the placenta, missing all of her other organs. We were able to salvage the placenta, but the bullet went straight through the baby's bowel duct, causing infection to spread throughout the child's body. We repaired the tear, but the infection spread so rapidly," the doctor paused before Tig nodded for him to go on. "She doesn't stand much of a chance at survival. I'm sorry. We did everything we could."

"It's a girl?" Tig asked, not bothering to hide the tears that stained his cheeks.

"Umm yes sir. You didn't know?" The doctor asked.

Tig shook his head," We didn't wanna know the gender until the baby was born. Can I see her?"

The doctor nodded,"She's hooked up to a ventilator right now to breathe for her , so keep that in mind before we go in."

Tig nodded in understanding before following the doctor to the NICU room that held his baby. His breath hitched when he saw her in the incubator, wires coming from everywhere.

"Can she hear me?" Tig asked before washing his hands and sitting down in the rocking chair next to her bed.

The doctor sighed,"There's no evidence as to if she can or can't hear you, but you can talk to her and stick your hands through those holes there to touch her."

Tig sighed before putting his hands through the openings and tracing her little face. "Hey pretty girl, it's your dad. Mom's not here right now, but I'm here. I love you princess." The tears came down his face as he placed his finger in her hand.
