Abel's Room
Charming Hospital
Jackson 'Jax' Teller watched as his newborn baby was being cooed to by a woman he had never seen. His eyes glistened as he heard the woman sing to his son as if she were his mother. It was hard to think that Wendy would have been able to do this to this tiny little boy. He was, however, concerned by the softness of the singing. He didn't know this woman and had never met her before. He was wary of how close she was to his son. He watched as she placed her hand through the hole of the incubator and gentle caressed the little hand of his child.
He moved back so as to not be seen as he saw this woman take her leave of the nursery as he heard her quiet promise to his son. "I'll be back soon, little one. I'll visit you again."
This woman had been here the last four days after his son had gotten out of surgery. He had seen her and heard her sing to his little son and was starting to like the sound of her soothing voice. After he knew she was gone he continued on with his visit.
The next day however he came at the same time as usual and heard her voice once more. He listened as she talked to him and sang a little more. Her smile was heard in her voice as she gazed down at the little one. It was at that moment Jax heard heels down the hall and saw his mother. The moment she was there he placed his finger to his mouth so she wouldn't speak. He motioned his head toward the room and watched as his mother, Gemma, looked inside in surprise. They stood there and listened as the woman sang an old Irish lullaby in Gaelic.
She looked up at the time and smiled down at the little boy. "Just a couple more weeks little one and you'll be going home." She said softly, her Irish lilt pushing forward, as she did as usual and placed her hand through the incubator to softly caress the child's hand.
She then took off through another door and she was gone. Jax turned to Gemma and shrug his shoulders.
"What do you think?" Jax asked Gemma as she made her way to the rocking chair that was beside Abel's incubator.
"I'm not sure. Is she a nurse or doctor?" Gemma asked before a new voice came from the door. Gemma's smooth countenance ruffled into an annoyed expression as she and Jax looked over to the door to see Tara Knowles.
"Tara." Jax said with a small smile. She smiled back and Gemma frowned even more. She didn't like the Doc all that much to be honest, but that was understandable since the girl had broken her baby's heart 10 years ago.
"I didn't know you were going to come by. Doctor Swan was just in her, did you finally get to meet her?" Tara asked sweetly.
Tara didn't know what it was about the new temp doctor that had her up in arms, but she just didn't like her. She honestly had never met anyone so nice or happy, but something about her rubbed Tara the wrong way. Tara had an immense amount of respect for Doctor Swan for all that she had done for the Medical community, but no matter Tara could just not get to know her like the other doctors and nurses seemed to be able to do.
"No, she left just as we were coming in. Why is she here visiting Abel?" Jax asked as Tara was brought out of her musings.
"She is the one that operated on him. She likes to keep her eyes on her patients until they leave the hospital. She's a travelling pediatric surgeon. She's been all over to perform surgeries on children that truly needed it. Especially newborn babies. She's one of the best." Tara said a little bitterness tainted her praise of the young doctor.
"Can you call her so that I can thank her?" Jax asked, he still had not truly seen her face, but he liked her voice.
"Yeah, just hold on and I catch her." Tara said with a slight frown as Jax nodded and turned around to head back to his son.
Tara scowled as she stalked down the hall toward where Doctor Swan's temporary office was.
Jax sighed as he looked down on his baby boy. He saw no changes in his son's condition and it stripped his heart, causing an ache to form deep within him.
"I'm so sorry I couldn't protect you my son." Jax said quietly as Gemma placed a hand on his back.
The two were quite for a while before a light knock at the door was heard. They looked up to see a beautiful woman there. She had deep sea green eyes and dark brown hair. Her smile was soft and open. Jax felt his throat constrict at the sight of this woman. He'd never seen someone so beautiful.
"You must be Abel's Da." She said, again her Irish lilt pushed forward, as she moved further into the room with an outstretched hand.
Jax caught himself and gave her a smile before he moved to give her a shake. "Yeah, I'm Jackson Teller, but you can call me Jax."
She gave a smile and turned to Gemma with the same intention of shaking her hand too. Gemma took that opportunity to shake the hand of the woman that saved her grandson. "Gemma Morrow, Jax's mother."
"Oh, so Grandma?" She asked and Gemma gave her an award winning smile before she turned back to sit once more.
"So as you now know, I am Doctor Swan. I performed this little guy's surgery. The hole in his stomach has been repaired and he's healing perfectly. The hole in his heart was repaired at the same time. I had to make sure this little cutie was good to go. He is one tough cookie, I'll tell ya." She said with a soft smile as her eyes turned to the baby.
Jax listened to her and felt a smile grace his face. "So he's for sure going to be alright?"
"Yeah, he's going to be just fine. No lingering effects will be there. I made sure of that. He'll be at 100% in about two months. He'll be able to go home after a month. There might be a little hiccup, but nothing too awful or life threating. He's going to be just fine." She said as she nodded to the father and grandmother. "If there is anything you want to talk about concerning his care, this is my card. It has my personal cell on there and the work cell I carry. I like to check in on my patients after a year, so I'll be back to check on him. Just to make sure he's alright."
She handed Jax a business card and then one to Gemma. Gemma looked at her gratefully, knowing that some doctors didn't have decency to do anything like this.
"Well, I'll leave ya to yer visit then." She said as she turned to walk away from them. Jax felt his heart constrict as watched her start to leave. He looked to his mother and saw a genuine smile on her face. 'Go.' She mouthed and he smiled as he took off after her.
The moment he made it outside he saw her on a bench on the side of the building with a cigarette in her hand. She exhaled and sat back against the back of the bench. He had begun to make his way forward when the sound of bikes revving were coming into the parking lot. He saw her head pop up and a smile made its way onto her face. She was breathtaking with that smile and he felt his heart start to pound. He hadn't noticed that his boys were now coming up toward him. He had noticed that she had looked over at him and a soft smile had replaced the giant one she had a few moments ago.
"Aye, boy. How's that wee lad in there?" Chibs asked as Jax was brought back to the moment.
"He's fine. Hold on." He said as he moved to toward the bench to get her attention. "Doctor Swan, My boys would like to thank you, too; if you don't mind."
She nodded and kept hold of her cigarette. The moment she made it them her eyes moved over the crowd and stopped on Chibs. She gasped as Chibs did the same. "Uncle Filip?!" She asked loudly. Everyone looked to Chibs and then back to the girl. A smile broke out on Chibs' face before he rushed to the girl and picked her up in a tight hug.
"Aye, Lass! What are you doing here?" He asked, they could all here his voice waver. "Where's your da?"
"Da's in Ireland. He went back home to get Kerrianne! She lives with him now. They're living in Dublin!" She said quickly as he looked at her in shock.
"Is he going to come here with her?" Chibs asked quietly as he held his niece to him. It was at that moment he saw a deep scar on her collar bone. "What happened to ya?"
"Got in the wrong crowd, I took of care of it." She said as shrugged.
He knew exactly was 'took care of it' meant coming from her. "How was your Da about it?"
"He helped." She said with a smirk and he grinned. No doubt his brother would help his daughter to 'take care' of someone.
"Good. So back to my question." He said his smile faltered only a little.
"Yeah, he's getting everything ready right now. I done bought him a house and all." She said as Chibs nodded.
"Where?"
"Forks, Washinton. A place so secluded Jimmy O will never find her. New passports, new names and new everything." She said as Chibs smiled at the resourcefulness of his niece.
"You still forging?" He asked and she gave a simple nod.
"Yeah, but I'm Doctor. I didn't go to medical school for no reason." She said as she looked over to see all the men around her look stunned.
"Aye, Lass, I can see you put that money I'd been sendin ya to good use. I'm glad." He said as she nodded.
"Da said if I saw ya, to say he's coming back to get what ya owe him." She said as he laughed loudly, startling his mates around them.
"How's your handiwork, on the otherside?" He asked curiously.
She grinned at that. "You should have noticed it by now, Uncle Filip. I got a call about some runs that need doing for the IRA. Said I needed to get with a rep from SAMCRO. Got any idea why Liam thought I was a good choice to send?"
"Liam sent ya?" Chibs asked his face serious now.
"Yeah. Said Eddy and Cameron were not to be trusted. Said that I need to take caution when dealin' with them. So I took care of it eight nights ago when I got into town. I was headed here anyway to do surgery on the wee lad in there." She said as Chibs raised an eyebrow. "I only do what I'm told, you know that. The heads are pissed and are after Jimmy for the shit he tried to pull. They're looking for him. That's why Da snatched up Kerrianne over three months ago."
Jax felt his jaw drop at all the names she just dropped onto them.
"Where are Eddy and Cameron?" A deep gruff voice asked from the side. They all looked to see Clay as he stared at the small doctor.
"Somewhere they'll never be found." Her voice said as she looked at the newcomer.
"Who are you?" Another voice asked as she looked over to see a younger man about her age with a mohawk and tattoos on his head.
"My name is Isabella Swan." She said with a smirk.
"Meet us back at the clubhouse when you end your shift, dear girl. I'll catch up to ya soon." Chibs said as he gave her a kiss on the head and she nodded. She flicked the butt of her cigarette into the street and left the men standing there.
Clay looked over to Chibs, as said man watched his niece disappear into the hospital, and grunted. He turned to Juice and spoke, "I want to know everything about her."
Chibs looked at Juice and smirked. He wouldn't find anything about Isabella Swan, except she was doctor. He knew that much. Now if he was to look up Isobel Fillipa McLaughlin-Telford, then and only then would he catch a hit and not even a big one at that.
"You can try all you want. You'll not get anything. Best thing is to let her come to us and speak. She knows how to stay quiet. Christ knows how many times she's been tortured." Chibs said with a sad look on his face. He had prayed his niece had left The Cause, but it seemed that it wasn't meant to be.
Dublin, Ireland
Kerrianne looked to her uncle and sighed. "Uncle Charlie, when do we leave? I want to see Da as soon as possible." She said sadly.
"Hush now. We'll believing the moment Isobel calls and lets us know it's all set up. Soon, sweet girl, soon." He said as he brought her to him in a hug. Kerrianne knew she missed her mom, but she knew that she was better off without that toxic trollop to poison her against her family. She knew her mother had loved her Da at one point, but Jimmy and his money caught her attention.
Kerrianne had a stroke of genius when she was handed divorce papers for her Ma and Da. She squealed like a little kid and hugged the man she had come to know as her uncle Liam. He had been working with the IRA to get Kerrianne and her Uncle Charlie out of the country. He had contacted her cousin Isobel and told her that she had a job to do for the IRA. She knew what Isobel did and never shied away from it one bit. It was in her blood to be a good little soldier, even going so far as to ask Isobel what she did on her last mission. Isobel told her everything and never once did she judge her cousin. She looked up to her.
So now they were just waitin on word from Isobel and then Liam would take them away. He told her that some of his associates would be with them and that the local MC in La Push would be waiting to help them make the transition. Isobel had promised that she would find her Da and they would be waitin at the house when she and Charlie showed up. She only wished it would be sooner. She knew Uncle Charlie and Uncle Liam were missing Isobel something fierce. She was after all daughter and niece to them both. Uncle Liam was Isobel's mother's brother. Aunt Renee had died years back and Kerrianne didn't really remember her too much. She had only been five when her Aunt had been killed in a shootout. A bystander, innocent at that. Wrong place, wrong time. Then only two little years later and her father was thrown out of her life, because her mother couldn't keep it in her pants. She hated her mother, but she loved her as well. She had learned that, as she grew older, her mother was just a callous and bloodthirsty as Jimmy. She had heard a conversation between them one night about the night that her Da had been thrown away.
"Do you think he'll come back for her?" Fiona snarked her question.
"If he knows what's good for him and her, he'll leave her alone. She's the only bargaining chip we have." Jimmy said the smirk heard in his voice.
"That little brat. I wish that I had just left with her before she got to know him. WE should have left a long time ago." Fiona said as she sat down in his lap. "Then she would have no one to compare you to. Although, if Charlie or Isobel ever find out about Filip then we'll be in for a war, a long bloody war. Those damn Telford's think they run this town, but we know better, my darling."
Kerrianne felt sick to her stomach and ran to her room as she heard her mother and Jimmy kissing. How could she feel so shallow about her family? She and Aunt Renee were always so happy.
SAMCRO CLUBHOUSE
It had been four hours before Isabella had made it to the address that had been given to her. She looked at the Repair shop and smirked. So seemingly innocent. She thought. She had changed before coming here and knew she was now comfortable enough to talk to her uncle and his friends.
She smirked as she lit a cigarette and made her way out of the sweltering California heat into a cool clean bar. She smiled the moment she saw her uncle. "Uncle Filip." She called and he turned to her quickly. His jaw dropped at seeing what his niece was wearing.
"Where's ya clothes, lass?!" He asked as she smirked.
"Uncle, You should know me better than that." She laughed as Jax watched on with a smile. He like what he saw. He really did.
At that moment Juice had run into the room with a ledger of papers and skidded to a halt upon seeing her. He moved quickly and gave the papers to Clay. She looked to Chibs and smirked. "I guess they like to be nosy?" She asked and he laughed.
"Yeah and then some." Chibs said with a same smirk she gave him. The guys could definitely tell they were related.
"So, Isabella Swan, all it says is that you are a Doctor. Want to tell us how a tiny thing like you moved up in the IRA?" Clay asked as she looked to her Uncle and he gave a nod.
She sighed and sat down at the table in front of him. "Yeah, sure. I've been in the IRA for the last fifteen years. Ever since I was fourteen. I am their master assassin, because I get into things no one else can. I've been working for the IRA to take out from within. My Uncle Liam is high up and close to the heads. Jimmy O thought he was higher than I or my father. He didn't know that Liam was my mother's brother. So when he found out and Uncle Filip was brought into the crosshairs. And now Liam is tryin to make up for it by getting Kerrianne to back him. It had taken us awhile before we found out where he had been keeping her and Fiona. He knew how to cover his tracks. But Kerrianne called the house phone and got a hold of Da. Told him where she was. He rolled up and killed them all and stole Kerrianne. Shot Fiona in the arm so she'd let go of the girl. Fiona shouted that we were all gonna be dead soon. Da said Kerrianne smiled at her mother and said 'We'll see.'" She said as everyone laughed at the girl's bravery. But they looked at her like she was something akin to a goddess. Isabella shook her head. "Now that ya know, I have phone call to make. You can listen if ya want."
She put the phone on speakerphone as it rang. A deep thick accented voice answered, "Yeah?"
"It's done, Liam." She said as a sigh had come through the line.
"Alright. I'll have them on the first flight out. Call your Da and give him the good news. I'll see ya soon, Pipsqueak." He said as Isabella gave a smile. "Tell Filip I'm sorry."
"You can tell him yourself. He's right here." Isabella said as Filip nodded.
"Filip?"
"Yeah, Liam, it's me." Chibs said with a strong voice.
"I'm sorry, brother. I didn't mean for this ta happen to ya." Liam said and the regret in his voice tore at Chibs' heart.
"I know, brother, I know. It wasn't yer fault. It was all Jimmy O that done this. Just get my family here." Chibs said as a sigh was heard on the other end.
"They leave in the morning. Kerrianne has a package for ya. When it's done give it to Isobel and she'll see it's sent through."
"Aye, I will." Chibs answered as he looked down at his niece, who had a small smile on his face.
"I'll leave ya to tellin' Charlie than." Liam said as the line disconnected.
Isabella smile and dialed the next number. Chibs held his breath as older brother's voice spoke out. "Isobel?"
Dublin, Ireland
Kerrianne shook her head and looked over to see that her Uncle was on his phone. She moved closer as he looked over to her.
"Isobel?" Her uncle's voice spoke as a giggle sounded through the phone and Kerrianne's heart leapt.
"Isobel?!" She cried as the giggled turned to laughter.
"Kerrianne, Da. I've got good news." Isobel said as Kerrianne vibrated in her spot.
"And?" She asked as Charlie smiled down at the girl.
"Kerrianne?" A deep familiar voice asked as she froze.
"Da?" She inquired shakily as she felt her tears rising up in her eyes. "Da is that you?"
"Aye, love, it is. How are ya?" He asked with a thick voice.
"I'm good, Da. It's…it's good to hear your voice. I've missed ya." She said as she tried to control the shaking of her voice.
"I've missed ya too, sweet girl." He said and she could hear the tears in his voice. "I'll be seein' ya soon, girl."
"Aye, Da. That's what Uncle Charlie said. If yer ringin' that means Isobel found you and we'll leavin soon, right?"
"Aye, sweet girl, we'll be seeing ya soon. Yer flight leaves in the morning. Liam's gonna come collect ya. So be ready. Isobel and I will see ya at the house in Washington. We're gonna go, so that we can pack up and leave. We'll meet ya there. I love ya, sweet girl." Chibs said as Kerrianne let out a watery, 'I love you too, Da'. Charlie smiled.
"Fillip you take care of my little girl. We'll see ya soon, little brother." He said as Filip gave laugh and Charlie smiled to himself. He had to admit he missed his wayward little brother.
"Aye, Charlie, we'll see ya soon." Chibs said before the line went dead. Charlie turned and hugged Kerrianne tightly before he pulled her back to look her in the eyes.
"Let's get packed huh? Liam will be here sooner than we think." He said as Kerrianne jumped up and ran to her room.
Charlie just smiled and shook his head.
SAMCRO CLUBHOUSE
The guys watched as Chibs sat down in the chair that Isabella had just vacated and pulled his niece on to his lap. He hugged her close as her arms wound around him tightly. They could see his shoulders shaking and a few sniffles. They noticed that Isabella combed her fingers through his hair as she whispered quietly to him.
Clay cleared his throat and the guys looked away from the uncle and niece to their president. "So, Isabella and Chibs are going. Who else is riding with them?" He asked as Juice and Jax offered rather quickly.
"I'll go." Jax said as Juice answered. "I'm going."
"I'll go too." Opie said as Clay nodded.
"Go pack." Clay ordered as he looked back over to see Chibs wipe his eyes. "You two better get pack too."
Isabella gave him a smile as she put her hand on Chibs shoulder and turned to leave.
"Isobel?" Chibs' voice cracked for a moment before he cleared it. "What'll you be driving?"
She gave him a smile. "I'll be back soon. You'll know when I get here. Half an hour, Uncle Filip."
He gave a nod and turned to Clay. "We'll be back as soon as we can."
Clay gave a nod. "Just make sure your little girl is safe." He said as Chibs gave him a smile.
"Will do."
Dublin, Ireland
3:00 am
It was three in the morning when a knock on the door came and she jolted awake. She sometimes still thought she was back at her mother's house and Jimmy had come to collect her. She heard someone curse and realized the deep baritone she had come to rely on so much, that of her uncle, was the one to sound out. She jumped up from her spot on the couch to see him with his gun out as he looked through the peep hole. She sighed in relief as he put the gun in the back of his waistband and unlocked the door.
He opened it and ushered the person inside before he closed the door. The rain outside sounded off a light drizzle before the door was closed. The person who came in took off the raincoat and shook out his hair. "Uncle Liam?" She asked the moment he turned to look at her.
"Little Kerrianne. Are you ready to see your Da?" His deep gruff voice asked as she gave him a big grin. He pulled something from his side and handed her a brand new pistol. She took it from him and turned it over in her hands. She noticed the safety on. It was a nine millimeter glock. She smiled faintly. "Keep this on you at all times. The IRA know how important you are to me, just as much as Isobel is. They wouldn't do anything to something that was important to me. That still doesn't mean your completely safe yet. Keep your eyes open and listen hard. Do as your told and remember all the lessons your cousin gave you."
Kerrianne's eyes turned hard as she placed the gun in the waistband of her jeans and gave a nod. She pulled on her fingerless gloves and her overcoat as her Uncle Charlie did the same.
"Game time. Let's go." Liam said as she and Charlie followed Liam out the door and down to the awaiting black sedan. The moment they got in the car zoomed off as fast as it could. Liam was on the phone belting out orders. "Demetri have it running, ready and clear for lift off when we get there. Tell Felix to be on the ground armed as we arrive. Have everyone on standby. Tell Sioban to be ready to go. We're on the highway and we'll be there in ten minutes."
It had been quiet and no sounds as Felix stood by the entrance of the plane. His eyes scanned everything as he waited for his boss to bring his family. It had been quiet for the last three months that they had rescued little Kerrianne. Not a word from Fiona or Jimmy O. The fact that Cameron and Eddy were now gone was a little sad. He had like them a little, but he knew they had outlived their usefulness. He wished he had been able to accompany Pipsqueak on her mission, he really did love to watch her work, but it could not be helped. He had to remain here to watch the last of her family.
It was during his thoughts that he saw the black sedan come to a quick stop as three people stepped out.
Charlie, Kerrianne and Liam pulled up to the tarmac where the plane sat. "Is that what we're going in Uncle Liam?" Kerrianne asked in awe.
"Aye, little one. We'll be heading to Washington in that. A friend of mine will meet us at the other end. They'll give us an escort and a ride down to your new house. Let's go. It's gonna be a long ride." Liam said as Charlie nodded to his Brother-in-law and they ascended the plane. He knew the 9 hour plus plane ride was gonna do havoc on Kerrianne's nerves, but it couldn't be helped.
The three of them got settled in and Kerrianne lay back the seat as far as it would recline. She knew the long flight would be the best to get some sleep now, because Christ only knew how long she would get when she finally saw her Da.
I own nothing and I just want to see how this will take. I honestly have NO idea where this is going. It's a mash-up of timelines. I am creating my own story I guess. Only based off of the characters. Not really following one timeline….i don't know when I'll update, but I'll try to keep it to a schedule….probably not tho. I'll try to update soon….just want to see how well received this is. Thanks for not bustin my metaphorical balls on this tho.
