Chibs | Sick of being Used | Tig | Sons of Anarchy || Book Three

Baby Deals

In a panic Gemma grabbed Clara up from the chair and dragged her toward the back bedroom. Gemma was trying to keep calm, but it wasn't working as she closed her bedroom door with a quickness and locked it.

Gemma rushed for her table on her side of the bed. Reaching into her nightstand she pulled out a gun and loaded it quickly.  Gemma had barely had time to pull the gun out and turn the safety off when three men had kicked down their bedroom door. Clara screamed as two of the three men Advanced on her and the other man Advance on Gemma.

Gemma pulled the trigger and shot the one man right in the chest causing him to Tumble back and the other man out of the two to draw his gun and pointed at Gemma. He didn't fire however he yelled and ordered her to lower the gun.

Gemma watched helplessly as her niece was grabbed up by her hair and was dragged toward the door. Claire screamed out as she went to reach for her knife but her wrist was grabbed and the knife knocked out of her hand thrown across the room.

"Take her to the van!"

The thick Irish accent yelled as the man who held his gun at Gemma then took the butt of his gun and bashed her across the forehead knocking her out cold across the bed.

Gemma sat in the club house on the couch as she held a ice pack to her forehead. Clay was beyond furious seeing his wife hurt and his niece missing. Chibs had cussed and kicked a chair across the club house. The other boys just stood there quietly.

"You said they were Irish?"

Jax questioned sitting there on the chair beside his mother. She nodded, wincing as she did.

"They were after Clara. It's probably her bitch mother, or Galen."

Gemma scoffed never liking the woman to begin with. Clay clenched his jaw. Things with the Irish weren't going as smoothly as they had hoped, but still they never would have thought that Clara would have gotten thrown into the mix.

"We gotta find her."

Tig said quietly, he seemed lost at the moment as if he wasn't fully here, Chibs noticed and narrowed his eyes.

"Aye! We all know that! But where so we even start!"

He snapped causing Tig's own eyes to narrow as he glared toward the Scott. Everyone seemed a bit thrown off by the sudden change in the room, Gemma and Kozik, however, knew better.

"Cut it out, Clara is priority."

Kozik spoke up. Both men seemed to heed what the guy said and backed off.

"I can track her cell if she has it?"

Juice said causing Clay to snap his fingers and point to Juice.

"Do it. Though if they were smart they would have tossed the phone."

"But these assholes aint smart."

Happy spoke up. Juice got to work ok tracking the phone. He had barely just opened his laptop when the club door opened. Everyone eyes widened as Clara came walking through the door holding a duffel bag tosses over her shoulder. To everyone's surprise that she was here, she looked okay all but for the plump and busted lip she had.

Chibs without hesitation rushed to her and put his hands on her face looking her over.

"Lovey?"

"Hey ol' man."

She whispered a soft smile coming to her lips. Chibs felt his heart sink seeing her sadden eyes but he leaned in to hold her regardless.

"Clara, baby, what happened?"

Clara sighed deeply through her nose. She shifted the duffle bag off over her shoulder as she walked it to the pool table and tossed it down onto the green felt. Everyone was quiet it wasn't until she pulled out some crumpled up paper did the men actually start to gather around the table.

"What's this -- "

"It's from uncle Galen."

She said as she handed Clay the papers. He looked at the title of the papers and drew back. He was shocked to see that these papers were --

"Land deeds?"

He said his eyes going wide. Jax and Chibs both came up and looked at the papers.

"Land deeds to 227 acres of Land in Belfast? Clara what -- "

"I was kidnapped by my mother. Galen was there to make sure she didn't do anything stupid. But it's a bribe to try and get me to return with them. I told them I wasn't interested and mom lost her shit. If uncle Galen wasn't there -- Lets just say I'd have more than a busted lip."

Chibs narrowed his eyes. The bribe was something huge. This amount of land, it had to be worth a lot.

"The land is appeased at three quarters of a million dollars, Clara!"

Jax questioned standing there re-reading the papers over and over again.

"Lovey?"

"Don't worry, Im not going anywhere."

Clara reassured Chibs. The man seemed to ease a bit in his stance, until Jax opened his mouth again.

"But, if you didn't accept it then why is it signed by Galen and you?"

"What?"

Gemma asked looking over her son's shoulder. Clara bit her lip rolling her shoulders. Her eyes cast to the floor.

"Because there was am alternative to getting the land -- "

"In the event that Clara L. Morrow does not return, she may still be entitled to the lands upon the ability to produce a healthy heir is born! Clara!"

Jax nearly dropped the papers and looked at her. His mouth open just as much as everyone else's seemed. Chibs tensed again, looking at her stomach and then to her, she caught that movement and looked up at him.

"I'm not... not yet."

"I thought you never wanted children?"

"I wasn't ready. And, I don't think I'll ever be, but, I remember the way you looked when we lost.... and this agreement, I can sell the land the child can be taken care of and kept safe."

Clara said looking to Gemma now.

"No where in the agreement does it say that the child has to be in Ireland or anywhere in the U.K. I made sure of that. The child would stay with me -- with us."

Clara said looking back up to Chibs. His eyes were softened. He couldn't believe that she was willing to do this for him, for the money to help their child, it was unspeakable.

"You never wanted kids, but you think the money will help?"

"I never wanted kids because I didn't want them growing up like me. Parents never home, shit housing, couldn't afford even food. And then it changed and suddenly once things got off to a good start, everything crashed. But this kid's life it ain't gonna be like that... not now."

"You don't even have his crow yet."

Kozik reminded. Clara looked at her friend and smiled.

"We've been together, unofficially, for two years Kozik. I never had a crow then either."

"Baby girl are you sure?"

"I'm sure uncle Clay. As long as Chibs -- "

"Aye. I want to."

Clara gave a soft smile and the breath she didn't know she was holding left her lungs.

"Alrighty then."

She grinned taking Chibs's lips onto her bruised ones.
