When Jax got the word that Link was in need of help he didn't think his bike could go any faster, Gemma had already called the ambulance and Link was already on her way to st Thomas but she wasn't privy to ask details or even know if she was okay. So many emotions were running through Jax, emotions he hadn't experienced since he was a kid. When he arrived at st Thomas, he was halted by a nurse, explaining Jax wasn't allowed in the room because he wasn't listed as her next of kin. And that her mother would have to approve Jax to be there.
"Shes gonna be fine baby" Gemma said resting her manicured hand on Jax's forarm
"I don't even know if she's okay ma, and that dope head isnt going to tell me shit" Jax said motioning to Link's mom as she walked out of the set of double doors
Jax stood up and walked over to Link's mother who was crying
"Mrs. Miller how is Link?" Jax asked
"They don't know. Wont know till she's out of surgery" Mrs. Miller said
"Please let me on the list. I need to see her Grace" Jax said touching her hand that was trembling clearly from withdrawal
"I need something from you first" Grace said looking at Jax, he knew exactly what she wanted. Taking a few hundreds and shoving them in her hand she walked over to the nurses station with Jax
"I'd like to appoint this man to be my daughter's next of kin and make all medical decisions for her" Grace said
"Name and ID please" the nurse smiled
Jax thanked Grace as she headed out the door knowing that she was never going to return
The nurse came out of the double doors looking for Grace
"Lincoln Miller's family?' She asked
Jax immediately stood up and walked over to the nurse
"How is she?" Jax asked
"Shes alive, barely, she took five bullets to the back and one in her calf. Shes got a long road to recovery" the nurse said
Jax nearly lost it right there, promising himself that he would find who did this and make sure they pay for what Link is going through
When the nurse brought Jax to the recovery room where Link was his tears became a near waterfall when he walked into the room, his body trembling as he walked closer to Link, a breathing tube took over her mouth and most of her face. Wires hooked to her body and a tube sticking out of her side
Jax leaned over as the tears fell on Link's face he kissed her forehead as his lips trembled against her cool skin he took his hand and placed it on her hand free of wires. Jax wasn't sure how long he sat there and cried before he felt a hand on his shoulder, when he looked up Jax saw Gemma standing there crying, when Jax stood up he didnt think he had anymore tears to shed, but they just kept coming, his eyes were bloodshot and he could barely catch his breath
"I'm so sorry Jackson" Gemma cried
"I can't live without her again mom" He cried into Gemma's leather jacket
"Link is a tough girl, she isnt going down easy. Shes a fighter baby" Gemma cried
Gemma hadn't seen her son this upset since his brother died, Gemma's heart hurt for her son. She knew how Jackson felt toward Link, Gemma knew that Link loved her son unconditionally
When the doctors came in to check Link's vitals, Jax's crying had nearly subsided, his eyes concentrated on her hand that he held
"Mr. Teller, we need to take her for a ultrasound" The nurse said lightly touching his shoulder, as she knew what a dangerous man he could be
"For what?" Jax asked looking up
"Her hgc levels are elevated, she's expecting. Or she was. We need to do the ultrasound to confirm" the nurse said
The blood nearly drained out of Jax's face, just last week they were talking about waiting and not rushing having kids or even be considered together, he wasn't sure what to think as they wheeled Link away as Jax sat there with his head in his hands
When the nurse returned with Link there was a small folder resting on her legs
"I'm going to assume your the dad?" The nurse asked handing Jax the sonogram photo
"I am.. but im not sure what I am looking at" Jax said looking at the small photo
"Its still really early, but that is the start of everything, I just wanted to make sure that she didn't have a miscarriage" the nurse said
"What about her pain meds? Will they effect the baby" jax asked looking at the nurse
"Unfortunately yes, theres one other problem, her uterus is tipped so the chances of carrying is going to be a risk" The nurse said
Jax became confused
"How would that of happened?" Jax asked
"Childbirth, I was able to pull Lincoln's records, her last birth the child got stuck in the birth canal" The nurse said
"Wait. When was she pregnant? I've known Link my whole life" Jax said
"It says she gave birth five years ago, up in Stockton" the nurse said
"I'm not understandimg, do you have a birth certificate?" Jax asked
The nurse looked through the papers and handed Jax the birth certificate his eyes scanning as he looked for his name on the father's side but nearly dropped the paper when he saw the name. Taking a gulp and closing his eyes Jax handed the birth certificate back to the nurse
"Something wrong Mr. Teller?" She asked
"Very wrong. Do you know where the child is now?" Jax asked standing up
"You didn't hear? She didn't tell you the baby passed away from a heart defect" the nurse said suddenly regretting telling him anything
"No she didn't tell me, can i have a few minutes" Jax asked as he ran his hands through his hair
Walking over to Link he raised her hand and brought it against his face
"Why didn't you tell me babe" Jax cried
"I had a right to know about this, i don't know why you kept this from me" Jax said as a single tear fell from his eye
Jax closed his eyes as his anger rose, trying to keep his cool inside of the hospital room Jax placed a kiss on Link's forehead and walked towards the door, turning back around Jax looked at Link
"I love you babe, and he is going to pay" Jax said as he walked away
Pulling out his phone Jax called juice
"Juice, find A.J Weston"
