Cameron had made it to the boat dock and soon after the crew arrived. Jax spotted him and took off after the man carrying his son. Cameron had hoped on the boat and sat abel down. He started the engine as Jax was sprinted down the dock towards him. Cameron had sped off on the boat just as Jax reached the edge. Cameron turned to look at Jax and grasped his gut. Jax and the men could see the blood spilling down his legs from the deep gash Harley had made.
He let out heavy panicked sighs.
"He took my son" he breathed heavy
"HE TOOK MY SON!" He shouted and looked around. He was panting. He watched the boat speed off into the distance. Carrying away his baby boy. Jax teller to his knees and clay hugged him. He sobbed into clays shoulder. Jax let out a bone chilling scream.

It had been three days since Abel's kidnapping. Harley was being released from the hospital and Jax had been sitting in front of Abel's crib drinking into oblivion. As Harley limped through the door she stopped at the stain on the kitchen floor. Half sacks blood. They had tried their best to clean it up but it had stained the flooring. She walked straight to Abel's nursery where she found Jax laying face down on the floor. She sat down in front of him.
"Jax baby you have to get up" She caressed his hair and earned a groan from him.
"Please Jax." She begged and he ignored her. Admitting defeat she got up and walked to the living room and dialed Opies number.
"Can you come help me with Jax?" She spoke into the phone
"What's he doing?" Opie asked with concern evident in his voice. Opie knew the pain of mourning a wife, but mourning the kidnapping of an infant was something he had never touched the surface of.
"He's laying face down on the floor in front of Abel's crib. He looks like shit. Smells like a big fat bucket of puke and alcohol." She pursed her lips. "I would drag his ass to the shower but I can't lift on him. Got a big bullet hole in my hip."
"I'll gather the guys. We'll take care of him for you. Don't worry." And with that Opie hung up the phone.
Harley decided she would try again. She limped back to Abel's room and sat back down in front of Jax. She rubbed her hand over his bare back.
"The bullet missed the baby." She whispered. He turned his head and looked at her. She looked deep into his blue eyes and saw nothing but darkness.
"I could care less about that Harley. I want my fucking son back." The bitter tone in his voice caused her scoot back.
"I'm sorry" she whimpered as he shrugged her hand off his back. Before he could say anything Opie walked through the door. He walked straight to Abel's room to find the two in the floor.
"Jax man get up" he spoke and Jax's eyes began to flutter shut.
Opie and chibs walked over to him and sat him upright.
"Come on man we have a lead on abel. Leroy found someone who may have helped cameron" he spoke and Jax looked at him in a dazed trance. Clay helped Harley stand up from the floor and she watched as Opie picked up Jax and carried him to the bathroom. They started the shower and let Jax do his business.
Harley had turned to clay.
"Can I talk to you for a minute?" She asked
"Sure" he grunted and the walked back to Abel's nursery.
"I have to talk to the station today about what happened." She slightly lowered her head.
"Tell then everything sweet heart. Except our association." He spoke to her truthfully
"I know." She wrapped her arms around her weak body.
"You've done good sweetheart. You've really stepped up. You're the best thing that could've happened to Jax." He said and pressed a light kiss to her forehead.
"The bullet missed the baby." She looked st him
"That's good" he smiled
"I told Jax and he told me he didn't care." She frowned
"What's the news on gemma?" She quickly changed the subject.
"She's up north with Tig and the guys from Oregon. She doesn't know about abel but they had to tell her about sack. Stahl framed her for Edmonds murder and that's why cameron took abel." Clay spoke with disgust in his voice at the mention of Stahl.
"She better watch. Ill fucking kill her." Harley earned before Jax walked in.
"Can you give me a minute clay?" He asked with a serious but sorrowful look etched on his face. Clay walked away and Jax leaned gassing the dresser in the nursery. Harley limped over and did the same.
"You don't belong here har." He spoke to her
"I never should've let you stay." He shook his head
"All it's resulted in is you hurt." He ran a hand down his face
"What are you getting to Jax?" She was confused
"This has to be the end." He looked at her
"What? No" she protested and he looked at her
"Harley don't make this complicated." He said before leaving. She dropped to the floor and let out a scream then began to sob, and it made Jax's blood run cold. He pushed back to urge to go tell her he loved her and everything would be ok. He had to push her away. He had to save her and his unborn child from this life.
