"I'm telling you no," Tig argued.

She sighed," And why not?"

Tig shook his head," It's just not a good idea, you goin' and talkin' to him."

"He's my dad, Tig. I wanna meet him," she said, rolling her eyes as she came to sit across from him.

"You sure you're ready for that shit?" Tig asked. He was concerned, mainly for the fact that Elizabeth now knew everything, including her dad's part in the MS-13 issue that got their daughter killed.

Despite the conversation topic, Elizabeth smiled at the fact Tig was worried about her. She nodded, moving over to sit next to him, "I know you're worried, but I'm okay, and I'm ready. If it makes you feel better, you can come with me and wait on the bike."

Groaning, Tig pulled her to sit on top of him,"Fine, but you gotta give me one good reason why i should agree." As he said this, he rubbed up and down her thighs.

She giggled, throwing her head back as Tig buried his face in her breasts and picked her up, carrying her to their shared bedroom.

============
Elizabeth's stomach churned as Tig stopped the bike in front of Stockton. She let out a breath she didn't know she was holding before stepping off behind Tig.

"You sure you don't want me to go in with ya?" Tig asked, shooting her a worried look.

Elizabeth wrapped her arms around his torso and looked up at him,"I'll be fine, Alex, I promise."

Tig didn't like this at all, especially since things with the MS-18's really weren't handled the way he wanted, but he knew there was no deterring the headstrong woman he had let in his life so with a kiss to the forehead, he watched her walk into the gates of a place he despised.

============
Tristan wasn't told who the visitor was, and truth be known, Elizabeth didn't think he'd recognize her considering he had never laid eyes on her, but the look on his face proved that Elizabeth had thought wrong.

Elizabeth tensed as he took a seat across from her and folded his hands.

"Hi," was all she could think to say as the awkward tension swarmed around them. She felt this deep hatred burn through her core for the man who sat in front of her.

"Hey," he said, sending her a small smile. When he noticed she was struggling to find the words to say, he continued speaking,"You probably have a million questions running through your mind. I'll answer whatever you have to ask." He figured that was the least he owed the girl.

She chuckled rather darkly,"Why'd you get involved with MS-13?"

He sighed,"I made some bad decisions in my life, but.."

"No," she cut him off, trying to keep her tears at bay,"your 'bad decisions' cost me my child. Those bastards shot me, and my daughter died in my arms as I listened to her heart beat stop."

He gasped, obviously not expecting the information he was given. "Elizabeth I'm-"

She put her hand up,"Do not apologize to me," she paused, chuckling sadly,"I came here two years ago, hoping to find my sister and my father I had never known. I had some fucked up notion that maybe we could be a family or some shit. Now, my sister's dead, and my dad's the reason my child is dead. Funny how life works."

Elizabeth looked up at him for the first time during the whole meeting to see tears running down the older man's face.

"Donna's dead?" He asked, shaking his head as if to deny it.

Elizabeth nodded her head, "yeah she is, murdered." She shuddered at the thought. It was something she still and always would struggle with in her relationship with Tig, but she loved the man nonetheless.

Elizabeth got up to head to the door when the guards poked their head in. She felt as though she had came and done what she intended too, although she wasn't sure what that was. She was surprised when Tristan grabbed her wrist as she made her way out.

"You have to believe me," he started, tears pouring down his face," I did what I thought would protect both of you, and no matter what, I love you both, and I'm so damn sorry for everything."

Elizabeth jerked her hand free before walking out of the room. She did fine keeping herself together until she saw Tig waiting for her on the other side of the gates. He couldn't gather her in his arms quick enough as her legs buckled, and Tig was the only thing keeping her off the ground.

"Baby, shh," Tig soothed her, rubbing his hands through her hair.

They stood in the embrace for awhile until Elizabeth gained some strength and backed away to look up at him. "Why did all this shit happen to us Alex? It's not fair," She whined as Tig put his hands on both sides of her face and put their foreheads together.

"Baby," he began," I know it ain't fair, but this is the hand we got, and we're gonna make it alright?"

Elizabeth nodded as Tig pulled her in for a long hug and the two headed home.
