Emily Prentiss' eyes kept going to the tall, bald, and tattooed man who was leaning against the on the right side of Rania's hospital bed. She just knew that if Rania were to wake up and see him that the younger girl would pursue him, and she wasn't sure how she felt about that. She knew that Rania wasn't innocent, but at the same time she didn't want the younger woman to get hurt. She stood up abruptly and gave everyone a strained smile as she walked over to the man and stared at him "You and I need to have a little chat."

Happy raised an eyebrow. "About what?"

Charlie coughed trying to keep himself from laughing. "Emily, I don't think that this is the time."

Emily shook her head as she turned to glare at Charlie slightly. "I think that this is the perfect time, Charlie. You have to see what I see, Charlie!"

Charlie groaned. "I do see it, Emily, but this isn't the time or the place."

Jax looked at Emily, Charlie, Happy, and back to Emily. "What do you see?"

Emily's eyes hardened. "He can't be here when she wakes up, Charlie! You know that he can't."

Charlie's own eyes hardened as he stood up. He shook off the hand Colby placed on him and stepped forward. "Emily, I know that you love her, but you don't have the right to interfere in what or who she chooses to do. She is old enough to make her own choices and while you don't have to like them you do have to respect them. She is older than you were when you gave birth to her! You don't get to step in and demand shit when you chose to fucking leave her with parents that you knew were abusive to her! You don't!"

He took in a deep breath and let it out. "She only agreed to let you in her life because Robert told her that you had no choice, but to give her up. However, you and I both know that is a sack of lies! You could have gone to your father when your mother forced you to give her up, but instead you took the easy way out. You don't get a say in what she does now. You NEVER would have even met her had she not saved your sister."

Colby gently moved Lynn off his lap and stood up. "Come on, Charlie, calm down."

Charlie shook his head. "I'm tired of Emily always thinking that she knows best when it comes to Rania, Colby! She is in and out of Rania's life and then thinks that she has a say in what Rania does. She even tried to get Rania to give Nico and Nadene up for adoption not even three months ago!"

Aaron's eyes widened in shock at that. He had just stood up, so that he could support Emily. "Is that true, Emily?"

Emily swallowed hard at the look in Aaron's eyes. "It's true, but only because I thought it would make life easier for Rania, Aaron. I didn't want her to regret not doing the things she could and should have at her age. She should get to be a kid/teen instead of having to grow up to quickly."

Spencer snorted from his seat. "You never should have suggested that she put her kids up for adoption, Prentiss! She never got the chance to be a kid because of what her life has been like. I don't even know her, but even I can tell that she would never go for something like that."

Robert looked at his daughter with flashing eyes. "How dare you suggest that she give up my great-grandbabies, Emily? Have you learned nothing from what happened to you? You will NOT try to throw Happy out of this room because if you do then you will be the leaving it. Rania knows her own mind and she's old enough to make her own decisions. Of course, I see what you do, but you will not interfere in it."

Jax groaned. "What do you guys see? What are we missing?"

Colby shot a look at Jax and smirked. "Rania goes for a certain type of man and Happy here fits that type exactly."

Jax's eyes widened. "Seriously? What in the hell type of guy does she go for? Bald men?"

Lynn laughed. "Jax, what does Lorca, Koz, Pyro, and Happy all have in common?"

Jax frowned, but it was Tig who said, "They are all mean mother fuckers. They don't have a problem killing for their family. They will do whatever they have to, to protect those they care for. Lorca, Koz, Pyro, and Happy all carry themselves in a way that makes the fact that they are dangerous noticeable."

Lynn nodded. "Exactly. Rania prefers a man who isn't afraid to get his hands bloody if need be. She prefers a man who knows how to take charge in the bedroom and out of the bedroom. She won't take a man bossing her around, but she has no problem following their lead in the bedroom for the most part. She will settle for less if she just needs to get off, but more often than not she looks for the meanest son of a bitch that she can to fuck."

Charlie smirked as he looked Happy up and down. "Happy does fit that description well. However, it will be Rania's decision and ONLY hers on if she attempts to sleep with the man or not. Nobody and I do mean nobody will stand in her way if she chooses she wants to go after him. I think that it is about time for her to get what she wants even if it is someone who has the potential to hurt her."

Lynn snorted. "Happy, if I were you I'd run."

Happy looked at Lynn with narrowed eyes. "Why?"

Lynn threw her head back and laughed. Once she stopped she looked at Happy with a smirk planted on her lips. "Because as soon as Rania sees you and she is able to move she'll go after you with everything in her arsenal. When she sees a man that she likes she is like a predator on the prowl."

She rolled her eyes. "She needs to get laid badly because the last time she actually managed to get in a good fuck it was with Pyro. She may not go after you right away because of what that son of a bitch did to her, but once she is able to get past what she went through she'll chase you. Hell, she may even after Jax even though she doesn't fuck guys close to her age normally."

Jax's mouth dropped open in shock. "What the fuck?"

Charlie turned to look at Jax. He laughed as he thought about what Lynn just told Happy and everyone else. "Jax, your girlfriend helped Hobart. What would be the best way for Rania to hit back at Tara besides kicking her ass?"

Jax groaned. "Fucking me and telling Tara about it."

Charlie nodded. "Exactly. Although I have to agree with Lynn I think you would be able to give Rania what she needs and wants in bed at least once."

Jax rolled his eyes. "I have no problem fucking her if and when she wants to. I do think that it will hit Tara harder than her being arrested for the shit she has done. Tara has always thought that I belonged to her and got pissed all the time when she would see me even talking to another girl."

Robert laughed. "Is anyone else thinking what I'm thinking?"

Colby looked at Robert and grinned. "If you're thinking that Rania will go from Jax to Happy then yes I'm thinking what you're thinking. She is the furthest thing from a slut, but when she wants something she isn't shy about going after it. Koz, Ian, Lorca, and Quinn won't stand in her way that is for damn sure. If anything, those four along with Marcus and Laroy will be cheering her on and doing what they can to help her get what she wants. When they all get back we do need to discuss all the upcoming events especially since I know about two things that Rania doesn't have on her calendar, but she plans on doing them anyways."

Lynn frowned. "What does she have planned, Colby?"

Colby shook his head. "I'd rather go over it just the one time, Lynn. Since Ian has the time off he should be able to go with her, but I want to make sure. If he can't go with her, I'll request those dates off and go with her myself. I don't want her out of the country on her own."

Daniel's eyes widened because he knew what Colby was talking about. "She's really going to do it then?"

Colby sighed and nodded. "She wants to, and I can't blame her, but I don't like the idea of her going on her own. I know that Megan will watch the kids for her, but I also want someone else with them to keep an eye on them."

Daniel groaned. "We'll make sure that the kids are protected one way or another. I really wish that she would keep us more up to date on things like this."

Colby groaned. "She doesn't because she knows that we'll put up a fight with her on the shit that she has planned. I think that as long as she is in and out that she should be fine. We'll talk about it when the others get back and go from there."

Tig laughed. "I have a feeling this girl is going to drive us all crazy."

Charlie snorted. "You don't know the half of it, Tig. The others should be getting back here soon. I know that Koz, Lorca, Quinn, Laroy, Marcus, and Ian don't like leaving her for too long when she is like this."

Lynn ran a hand through her hair. "I just want to see her eyes open."

Charlie pulled Lynn into his arms and hugged her. "She will, Lynn, and she'll get better. Right now, her body is trying to heal, and it knows that the best way for it to do that is by having her in a coma. You and I both know that if she were awake right now that she would be fighting, and it would just make things worse. We'll take care of her and the kids for now. We'll make sure that everything runs smoothly. She WILL be alright because we won't give her the option of anything else."

Lynn nodded and buried her head in Charlie's chest as she finally allowed herself to cry. She was crying both for Rania and herself. She knew that she would feel better once she let it all out instead of holding it all in. She would be able to be the strong bitch that Rania and Lorca both needed her to be.
