December 2nd- 5 Months pregnant

The last three weeks have been anything but quiet, the club hit a dead end on finding out who had shot up the club house, but that didn't stop them from looking into it. Weird things had been happening, Maddie felt like she was being watched any time she left the house, she told herself that she was just being paranoid, that it was her hormones messing with her head, but she couldn't shake the feeling she was being followed, especially now, as she walked onto the UCLA campus with her Starbucks in hand, on her way to her English Lit class.

She walked a little faster, keeping her head down, until the feeling became stronger and stronger, she was five minutes late for class, so the hallway was empty, except for a few students doing something for a club on campus a little farther down the hall.

The uneasy feeling got stronger, and she quickly turned around as she came face to chest with someone less than a foot behind her.

"Hey." Noah said.

Maddie hadn't seen him since the thing at the carnival. She assumed that he had switched out of her English Literature and Chemistry classes. He looked different now though. His hair was longer and greasier, he looked like he hadn't slept in a couple days, and he had dark circles under his usually bright eyes.

"You scared me." She said, trying to catch her breath. She looked down at her light pink shirt that now had a big coffee stain on the front, and she was thankful that she got a Frappuccino instead of hot coffee this morning.

"I thought you would have heard me walking behind you." He said with a smirk.

"Well, I didn't..." She said, and she and been listening, this guy must be a ninja or something.

"I'm sorry." He said, his face looking pained, as if he were about to do something he would regret. Before she could ask why, he reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her toward the back exit. "I have to do this."

Instinctively, her other hand went into her purse, where the taser -that Jude made her carry since the shooting at the club house happened- sat in. She pointed it straight at his chest and pulled the trigger before Noah could even know what was happening.

She was glad that Jude made her practice how to use it.

As Noah let go of her and fell on his butt, shaking, she didn't know if he would be able to get up or not, but that didn't make her run any slower.

She knew that Clip was waiting in the quad for her to get out of class, she just had to make it there.

She ran as fast as he feet could carry her, but honestly, she wasn't in that good of shape, at five months pregnant.

She finally made it to the quad, her eyes searching the grassy area for Clip.

She found him sitting on a bench table with the school slut on his lap, whispering in his ear.

"Clip." She yelled, desperately running toward him. He jumped up, the girl falling to the grass in his hurry to get to her.

"What happened?" He asked, running to her, taking the gun out of the back of his pants.

"H-He grabbed me, and tried to take me out the back exit, and I tased him and ran." She said angrily, before everything turned black.

Maddie woke up, looking around, she was in their bedroom, at their house, she had no idea how she got there, but she had a huge headache and her arm hurt.

"Baby." She heard Jude's deep voice from beside her. She turned her head and saw him sitting on a chair from the kitchen, right next to the bed, holding her hand.

"I'm so glad you're awake." He said, leaning down to kiss her lips.

"Hi." She whispered, as she remembered what happened.

"I need yout o tell me what happened." He told her as Mac walked into the room.

"I was walking to class, and I got this feeling that someone was watching me, I had been feeling it for weeks, but it was stronger today, I just had a weird feeling." She started.

"You have been feeling like someone has been watching you for weeks and you never told me?" He asked angrily.

Mac put a hand on his shoulder. "We'll get to that in a minute, we need to find out what happened." He said.

Jude nodded for Maddie to continue.

"I turned around really fast, to make sure no one was behind me, I was late for class, so there wasn't anyone in the hall, and I came face to face with Noah, he was less than a foot behind me, and he made it sound like I wasn't paying attention, and he didn't sneak up on me, but I must have looked like I didn't believe him, because he said he was sorry, like he was going to do something he didn't want to do, and grabbed my arm." She said softly. She looked down at her arm and saw a hand print bruise on her upper arm.

"He started pulling me toward the back exit, saying that he didn't want to do it but he had to, or something, so I tased him, and ran to the quad to find Clip... That's all." She whispered.

Jude nodded. "The club doctor checked you out and the baby is fine, you passed out from shock, no serious injuries." He said, eyeing the bruise.

"We have Noah at the clubhouse, he's obviously working for someone he isn't in this alone, and we're going to find out who it is he's working for, I'm going to the clubhouse, I'll be back in a few hours, Clip, Puck and Buzz are staying with you and Katie, we'll talk more when I get home, don't get out of bed." He told her before leaning down to kiss her lips.

"I love you, and I am so glad that you're okay." He said before walking out of the room.

He got onto his bike and looked at the guys. "Let's roll. We're going to find out what this fucker knows." He said before taking off, leading them all back to the clubhouse.

Wow, this was a really fun chapter to write and I hope nit was just as fun to read. Do you guys think the next chapter should be in Jude's POV?
