On The Verge

by WhyCantIBeTara

I'm using the same character (Jax's daughter Sydney) from my other story but in a different way. Starts in season one and goes on from there but with flashbacks of Jax & Tara as teens. I'm going to follow Kurt Sutter's brilliant story-line but add in my own ideas/characters as well obviously. Better description in my first post - please check it out! Disclaimer: I don't own SOA.

1. Introduction

Hello readers, and welcome to my new story On The Verge! My other story Teenage Life in The Charter of Charming is going to be on hold for now. If you read that story THANK YOU SO MUCH and sorry in advance for leaving you hanging for a bit. I started that story almost 18 months ago and sometimes find it difficult to keep it going due to how my writing has changed over the extended period of time - I'd like to think it's improved which is part of the reason I would like to start fresh. I plan to do my best on keeping this story updated - I have so many ideas I'd like to share with you guys. I've read so many books and fanfics, and English was my favorite subject throughout school so I've really been trying to improve my writing style/abilities by paying close attention while reading and doing my best to make mental notes. I believe I learn something new every day!

At 31 years old, Jax has a daughter who is already 12 and not from Tara. I will explain in my story with conversations and flashbacks. Sydney is a very beautiful girl who is soft-spoken at school but loud and outgoing at home and around family (including the club - they're her uncles of course!). I just really enjoy the thought of Jax raising a family - especially a girl. He would be an amazing father to a daughter - a little overprotective, don't you think? A little is most definitely an understatement. I would have been so happy if one of the boys would have been a girl, but maybe that's just me!

Jax is nervous about Abel's arrival. Yes, he's been through this before with Sydney and he was only 17 when she was born which was, until now, the scariest part of his life. But this is different - Abel is at a greater risk to the family curse due to Wendy doing heroin. Plus, what happens when Jax runs into someone, not just anyone, who leaves his head spinning and his heart beating out of his chest?

And from then on? Raising a weak baby and a soon-to-be teenage girl on his own? Or at least that's what he thinks is going to be the case.. ;)

Rated M for language, violence and crime, and descriptive sex scenes.

I'm super excited to get started on this story!

Thanks again!
