Jasper
Jasper smiled, chuckling at her reply. "Alright, no dessert tonight." His eye brows rose at her sudden confession, a very small frown crossed his features before taking another sip of his beer to hide it. Well he had no right to be mad truthfully. Things were up in the air between them for months before he asked her out. He couldn't blame her wanting to be in a relationship. His blue eyes looked only at her, "I can't blame you Cadence. A girl like you should have someone she can count on. Do you still want to go on a date with that man?" He didn't know if he could, but he would let her do it. If that's what she needed. If it would make her happy. He'd lock himself away for a night, bury in work or alcohol for a night, so she could test it out.

"Hey! Hey! Gracie, doll!" Killian cooed as he walked toward her. He slipped an arm about her shoulders. He tried to lead her away.
"Let's not do this here or now. I am handling this. Go home and throw some plates at your husband." He was talking calmly. Trying to be soothing.
"They didn't have sex, it was just a b*****b. It's okay. Just....calm down. You need to calm down. this isn't good for the baby. I sent the slag away from here. She was new, she didn't know...he was drunk." He was trying to get her out of the house. Away from the scene of the crime.

'Cause sometimes you just feel tired,
Feel weak, and when you feel weak,
you feel like you wanna just give up ~Cadence Jaycey Sinclaire-Caine~ Cadence shook her head no quickly. "No. No. I am not interested in him like that. I asked him out to prove a point to Killian and Lincoln. It was dumb." Cadie sipped her water. She had not meant to bring the other two into the situation. It was true though. She only asked Ben out because Lincoln insisted Jasper wasn't into her and she was making a fool of herself. "He is one of those people I can see myself with...in a purely physical relationship. The chemistry is there, but that is it. I am not looking for that." Ben was sexy, and he was definitely a catch but he was not what she wanted right now. If she was just looking for a no strings attached situation he would be the guy she was climbing into bed with. However she wasn't looking for a f*ck buddy again. ~Candie~ But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength
And just pull that sh*t out of you and get that motivation to not give up
And not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse.

Jasper
Jasper nodded. He may have to talk to those two. Maybe that was even why they had left so early the night before.Those two were trouble. He smiled at Cadie, "Well, thanks for letting me know. It's behind us then? You told him you were no longer interested? Or is it still in the air? Jasper asked calmly, just trying to gt a full read on the situation. Did he have some one to beat up? Or just someone to run off?
But Jasp would do what he needed to keep Cadie. Keep her with him and to keep her safe. Although dinner was over and she stated she didn't want dessert, Jasper was loathe to leave the restaurant. It would signal the end of their night, and that he wasn't sure he was ready for yet. It had been going well. Even now wasn't really bad. Although he was sure he would be seeing her again. Maybe tomorrow or the next day.

Grace frowned. She gently removed Killian's hand from her shoulder. "I don't care about the details. But you're going to tell me where to find her. Right now." Her blue eyes held sadness, despite how angry her body language was. She was ready to kill someone. Hearing what had happened still broke her heart, even if it was just a b*****b. "Don't worry about the baby, I'm fine. You're going to need tot will me where she is, now. I'm his wife, Killian." She stared up at the man, arms crossed over her chest.

But please don't make a scene! I work with him." Ben was paying his bill and taking his leave. Much to Cadence's relief. She watched him go, watched as her eyed her and gave her that smirk smile that she normally loved because it normally meant they won their case. tonight though...it meant something completely different. "Want to go for a walk...?" She asked now that she could relax again. His eyes were gone. He was gone. It was just Jasper and her. "I am not quite ready to go home if we are being honest." Cadie was interested in spending some more time with Jasper. time focused entirely on him. Though she was tempted to ask him if he knew Ben. Ben was older then him. Ben was in his mid thirties so he was considerably older then Jasper. However the man seemed to know Jasper, or at least of him. ~Candie~ But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength
And just pull that sh*t out of you and get that motivation to not give up
And not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse.

"Exactly darling! Your his WIFE! She is NOTHING! She isn't even worthy of being in the same room as you!" Killian sighed.
"She is upstairs packing. I told her she can not stay here anymore." Killian felt bad setting the angry vengeful wife loose on the unsuspecting young woman. She had it coming though. She shouldn't have been hitting on the President. Married or not, she should have known her place.

Jasper
His cool, calm blue eyes watched Ben leave. It was easy to see who Cadence was talking about the way that man was eyeing her. Jasper didn't like it one bit. His eyes followed the man as he left until he was out of sight, "What's his name?" He asked her flatly before finishing his beer. He wouldn't start anything here or in a public. He understood her not wanting that. But he also wasn't going to let the man look at her like that or disrespect her wishes.
Jasper put some money on the table to pay their bill. He nodded to Cadence, stood and pulled out her chair. As they walked out, Jasper grabbed her hand in his. "The park ok for tonight, or is there somwhere else you want to walk?" He asked her as they got back into his truck. He was glad she wasn't ready to go home yet either. He'd take her where ever she wanted. He drove the truck to the park, and exited before going to Cadie's side and opening the door for her, holding his hand out to help her small frame out of the truck.

Grace nodded to him and promptly went into Orion's office, grabbing the wooden baseball bat without saying another word to anyone. His words didn't change her mind about what she was going to do, either. As soon as she went upstairs, all the women knew exactly what she wanted, and pointed at the blonde girl. Grace walked over, tapping her shoulder. As soon as the woman turned around she swung swiftly at her stomach, knocking the breath outta her. Grace said nothing as the woman doubled over. "Don't ever come back here again, or I'll kill you." With that she swung the bath again, this time swinging upwards and knocking the woman in the face with the bat, sending her to the floor with a busted nose.
When she returned downstairs she handed Killian the bloodied bat. Now that the adrenaline from the anger had passed, the pain in her stomach was beginning to register. She placed her hand on his arm, feeling a small gush. When she looked at her jeans they were soaked with blood. "That's not good..." she was still about 14 weeks early,

'Cause sometimes you just feel tired,
Feel weak, and when you feel weak,
you feel like you wanna just give up ~Cadence Jaycey Sinclaire-Caine~ "His name is Ben. One of the attorneys I work for." Cadence said though she really didn't want too. She knew Jasper would be stressing that she was at work with him the next day. She was thankful he didn't know she was working though. Jasper didn't know since he had never asked, and Killian was the only one who had known. He had parked across the street everyday for the first two weeks she was there. Waiting for her to leave work and return to their town.
"The Park is fine. I will stay away from the monkey bars this time." She giggled as she thought back to when they had been racing to the top of the huge dome of metal. She had lost her footing and fell. Ended up breaking her arm. Jasper, her hero back then had hurried climbed down most of the way then jumped the rest of the way. He proceed to snatch another kid's wagon and dragged her home. She cried the whole way, he ran. Even when they returned from the hospital Jasper was still sitting on her steps. He was the first person to sign her neon pink cast, and he came to visit her nearly everyday that summer. He even skipped swimming a few days just to hang with her since she couldn't swim. ~Candie~ But you gotta search within you, you gotta find that inner strength
And just pull that sh*t out of you and get that motivation to not give up

"Oh s**t!" Killian dropped the bat and wrapped an arm about Grace's body. He pulled her close to him.
"We'll take you to the hospital. It will be okay." He stated calmly though he was feeling panicked and concerned. He lead Grace out to his car and helped her in.
"Buckle up..." He said as soon as he got in. He wanted a cigarette but had forgot them inside. He drove swiftly to the hospital.
Once there he helped Grace out of the car. He quickly moved through the emergency room entrance and went to the desk. Ignoring the people that were protesting.
"She is pregnant and bleeding. She needs help immediately." He announced to the woman at the counter.

 Grace Marie De La Cruz 
Grace nodded to Killian, and grimaced slightly. Her contractions were really close together now, and the pain was getting more intense by the moment. She steadied herself by holding onto him, and followed him to his car, crying to control her breathing and her groans of pain. "I think the baby is coming early Kill..." Once seated in the car, she didn't even bother putting on her seatbelt, instead she held on to the door and the cup holders, groaning every minute or so. She couldn't even focus on getting the seatbelt on, even if she wanted to.
When they got to the hospital she moved to get out of the car, moving as fast as she could, despite the intensity of the contractions. Almost immediately when they got inside her coworkers recognized her, and grabbed a wheelchair, seating her in it and getting her checked in. The nurse looked to Killian. "Come with us." Once they all got upstairs, her friends helped her change into a hospital gown, and got her into a bed. By now she was breathing heavily, and the doctor came into the room, taking the time to check her quickly. "Are you family?" He asked, looking to Killian. Before the man could answer he turned to the nurses. "We need some NICU nurses and get the supplies ready for an early birth." He stood from the place at the end of the bed, moving around the room and grabbing some gloves, amongst other things.
One of the nurses stood by, and put some gloves on as well. "Do we have time to anesthesia?" He turned to her and shook his head fiercely. "No! Of course we don't! This baby is coming now, so I need you to do what I told you."
Grace laid her head back against the pillow, and started to cry in pain. "I need to push..."
The doctor began shaking his head. "You're gonna need to wait-.."
"I cant! It hurts!" Within seconds the doctor was holding a small baby, and it was covered in blood. Everyone was rushing around, and he handed off the baby to one of the nurses before Grace passed out, and the machines started beeping. One other nurse escorted Killian out of the room, ushering him into the hallway. "Any family members? Does she have a DNR, or a will? Not saying that she's gonna die, but we need that stuff on file."

Dereck Michael Thompson
Dereck felt like a complete a*****e. He knew that he shouldn't have said those things, yet he did anyways. Even Maralyn was surprised with what he said to Grace, and that was saying something. "I don't know why I said it. I was just in a bad mood, and....I guess I just allowed myself to take it out on her. I was feeling bad about myself, and in an effort to make myself feel better I lashed out at her. I know it was wrong, but at the time I couldn't bring myself to admit that, or apologize." His blue eyes looked up from the plate and at Maralyn. She was so patient with him, and being so understanding. He was sure that any other woman would have tore him another a*****e, but not Maralyn. When she mentioned apologizing, he nodded his head, and rubbed his hands through his hair with a sigh. "I know, I know. But the last thing she had said to me was to get out of her house, and I'm sure if Orion knows about what I had said, he isn't going to give me an easy time about it. In fact.." He stood from the table, grabbing his plate with him. "I'm sure he's gonna wanna fight me about it."
Dereck was familiar with the way things worked, and in most charters the way to settle a dispute was with a fight. If two men hated one another, they fought it out and then things were fine. No more bad blood, everything was lashed out at once. When the conversation changed to her ex, he nodded his head, moving to put his plate in the sink. "I'm grateful for the heads up, but what he can't tell me is what information they have on me. I don't know how much they know about everything, so there's no telling when they are going to come by with a search warrant, or a warrant for my arrest," After rinsing off his plate, he leaned back against the sink, shaking her head at the offer for more food. "I'm fine, baby. I was just hungry. Can't remember the last time I sat down to eat." When she thanked him, he looked up, letting his eyes meet her own.
She was so genuine, and never sugar-coated things for him. That was why he felt confident in trusting her with this information. "You're my woman, Lyn. You need to know these things as much as anyone else in the club. If something were to happen to me, then you would be the one running s**t." He moved across the kitchen, grabbing hold of her face before the house phone rang. Not many people had this number, so he assumed that it might be Grace calling, and he frowned. "You wanna get that? If it's Grace I don't want to apologize over the phone."

"Yes. I am family." Killian considered himself family. Whether he was related via blood of marriage mattered not to him. He wasn't related in anyway but still to him the MC was family. Grace was married to his brother.
"I don't know. I have to call her husband." Killian stepped away and called Orion immediately.
"Grace had the baby and things aren't looking good for her. Get you a** to the hospital NOW!" Killian snapped. Orion hung up as soon as Killian finished speaking. He threw on whatever clothes, he paused only to grab the bag she packed for the hospital stay and then he was gone. Flying to the hospital.
"Where is she?" He demanded as he ran toward Killian. Killian ran a hand through his hair. "Not sure. they took her and no one is telling me anything!"

Grace Marie De La Cruz
One of the nurses that was passing by caught sight of Orion, and she side-stepped over to the men, placing her hand on Orion's shoulder. "You're here for Grace?" When he confirmed her suspicions, she took the bag from his hands, and glanced down the hallway. "The only update I have right now is that she had a hemorrhage. They took her to the OR, so I am not sure how long it will be until I get another update, but she did lose a lot of blood. I will take her bag into the recovery room we have for her.." She glanced between the two men, and pressed her lips together. "Your son was born about 3 months early, so his lungs aren't fully developed yet. Right now we are giving him steroids to help his lungs mature, so that he doesn't need a breathing machine, would you like to see him? We got him all cleaned up and he is stable."
