Charming Reflects
A/N I don't own any of the SONS, they belong to their creator. As do some of the towns people of Charming the only ones who don't are any O.c's that I make up for this story.
Sorry but this first chapter is going to be a long one. In fact it might end up being done in two or more chapters as it will be quite long other wise. These reflections are not just about the men of SAMCRO but their famillies and others connected in some way to SAMCRO.
UNSERS POV
Gemma Teller-Morrow: I've known Gemma since she was 14 years old and her father was a Reverend here in Charming. Long before she left and then returned 10 years later with a motorcyle club and a baby. I always liked Gemma and still do despite the fact that she is really becoming a bit of a bitch lately, I suppose its because she is worried about Clay and the fact that he won't be Top Dog much longer in the club, that and the fact she is probaly worried about the club finding out the truth about JT. Not that she knows all the truth, Clay and I did not tell her everything that had happened on that fateful day that JT was killed.
Gemma has always been a strong woman, she has had to be being the Queen bitch in a 1% motorcycle club but I think also her childhood had made her that way. Her parents had loved her and while her Father had been more easy going her Mother had been a complete control freak, Gemma had resented her so much but as I look at Gemma now, I see so much of her Mother in her especially the way the controls everyones lifes around her or tries to.
Despite her age, Gemma still is an amazingly beautiful woman and she does not hide her figure or looks like some ladies her age would, she loves leather and lace and her heels. Although she moans that her heart meds make her feet swell and she can't get her boots off. Typical woman always thinking of fashion before her health. She has been there a lot for me over the years especially in the last few when I was diagnosed with Cancer and then when she had to go on the lamb because of that bitch Stahl I was glad to be able to help her escape. I will always help Gemma in what ever way I can.
CLAY MORROW: I have known Clay ever since he blew into Town on the back of a Harley long ago with the rest of the original members of SAMCRO. He had not long returned from Vietnam and was still getting use to life outside of the military, I often had him in my cells during those first few years that the club was here. I had made a deal with them to protect the town of Charming from outside influences and in return for their help I would look the other way as much as I could. However occassionally I couldn't do that and Clay and others would end up in one of the cells overnight or longer.
Clay has always been a powerful and dangerous man and it has always seemed better to keep him on side rather than have him as an enemy. I knew how dangerous he was after all he had killed his best friend John Teller in order to get his hands on the presidency of the club and John's wife Gemma. They had gotten close after John and Gemma's youngest son had died from the family flaw and JT could not cope with being here in Charming so he had gone over to Belfast to set up a Charter there with McGee one of the other original members.
Over the years Clay seems to have become more ruthless and at one point he almost turned on me when he thought that I was threatening his club and way of life but I was actually trying to protect the club but at the same time trying to keep my department open not that he appreciated the problems that I was facing at the time. He has threatened to kill Jax, Gemma's son on more than one occassion and had his bodygaurd and fellow club member Tig Traeger kill another member. Opie was the target but it was his wife Donna who was killed by accident instead they tried to make out that it was someone else but I knew it was Clay who had ordered the hit at least he had the grace to look remorseful about it.
I don't think he will be in charge of the club much longer as he has arthritis in his hands and it is getting worse. The club has many rules and one of them is 'Can't ride, Can't lead', so Clay's days are numbered.
JAX TELLER: The present VP for the SONS and John and Gemma Tellers first born Son, just like his younger brother Thomas, Jax was also born with the family flaw as was his son Abel but it has so far not affected him as much as it did his brother and son. He is arrogant like all members of the SOA but he he has a kind heart and more brains than most of them certainly more brains than Clay but he is not weak like his father was. He has his Mothers strength and like her he likes to control those around him.
He is not afraid of doing what he considers to be the right thing to do and I know that he has killed for the club he doesn't wear the men of mayhem badge just for show. When ATF agent John Kohn disappeared I did wonder if he had had something to do with it but unless Kohn turns up dead or otherwise we will never know and the way SAMCRO hides bodies I doubt that will ever happen.
He loves his sons Abel and Thomas and would kill anyone who dared to hurt them or his old lady, Tara, who he has loved since he was 16 years old. He has already killed at least one man that I know of who threatened Tara's life and that was another MC member, Hector Salazar although he knew we needed him alive to protect the town.
JOHN TELLER: One of the co-founders of the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club. John after returning from serving in the Vietnam war was disullussioned like many other returning veterens with how the war had gone and how the folks back home were treating them. So he along with Piney Winston set up the club, they had decided that if society did not accept them for who they were and what they had had to do while fighting a war in a far away land then as far as they were concerned then society at large could just fuck off and they would have their own little society.
John had a rather idealistic view of what the club would be and I think at first he saw it as a kind of 'hippy' commune for harley lovers but as the club grew it became less like his original dream and started to become more like the club we see today perhaps not as bad as the club has become but bad enough. Then when his son died he became withdrawn and started to back away from the life he had created with his friends, he started to think that there was a better way outside of the club and for that reason alone Clay decided that he had to be killed. So it was arranged for him to be hit by one of my trucks and then made to look like an accident and as far as the rest of the world is concerned that is exactly what it was.
TARA KNOWLES: Jax's old lady and first love. When they were teenagers and at school together it was thought that they would always be together but Tara back then did not like the MC life and wanted more not just for herself but for Jax as well. However when he would not leave with her she left anyway to pursue her dream of medical school and becoming a Doctor, in the process she Jax's heart and earned Gemma's hatred for harming her baby. Tara was away for ten years, she was working at a hospital in Boston when she became involved with an ATF agent by the name of John Kohn and they started a relationship however when that relationship became violent, she broke it off and returned to Charming where she began work as a surgeon and Doctor at St Thomas's.
It was while here that she came back into contact with the MC again after she was one of the Doctors working on Jax Tellers son Abel after he was born with the family flaw and other complications. She is a dedicated Doctor who cares immensely for her patients and she did everything she could do keep young Abel alive, her skill and dedication paying off, for he is a healthy and active toddler now. It was during the time that she and Jax got back together again, he had divorced Abels Mother Wendy but wendy had hoped to make another go of it but as soon as he saw Tara again that was never going to happen.
She and Jax have had the problems and at one point it looked like she would leave again especially after she caught him in bed with a porn star, she had told him that 'cheating' was a relationship breaker and if she ever caught him doing that she would leave him, this happened not long after Abel had been abducted and he was trying to push her away from him and the MC life. However they got back together after he returned from Belfast with Abel and he had rescued her from Salazar, however they were seperated not long after this when he and others of the Club spent fourteen months in Stockton on gun running charges. It was during this time that she gave birth to his 2nd son Thomas, she had a relatively easy preganacy despite stepping up as Queen Bee for a duration as Gemma was on House arrest for several months and she spent more time at the club as an old lady. She is a good mother to the boys and I know she loves Jax more than ever. Although she is more at ease with the MC life now and is respected both in and out of the club I know that she would rather that Jax was out of it and they could live a normal life, just her, Jax and the boys.
A/N. I am going to do Unser's Point of view on the club in several installments, in the next one he will be giving his point of view on the following people: Piney Winston, Opie Winston, Donna Winston, Lyla Winston and Bobby Munson.
