This is a result of getting back into SOA. I still haven't seen season 6 or 7, but I've recently re-started my re-watch so hopefully this time I'll actually make it to the end. Anyway, I missed Jax, so here we are.
Kasey sat on the small brick wall outside of the hospital. It was dark enough that the staff simply walked by her without questioning if she should be there or inside resting. At least until a man sat down on the wall, leaving enough space to fit at least two people between them comfortably. He was wearing scrubs, but he asked her no questions. In fact, he looked just as bad as she felt.
Pulling a cigarette from her pack, she extended the open pack towards him. "Smoke?"
He looked at her and then down at the packet. He nodded once before taking one. She closed the packet, put her own cigarette in her mouth and lit it. She then extended the lighter out to him. Instead of taking it he put the cigarette into his mouth and sat closer to her, still leaving space between them. Kasey lit the cigarette for him, and then they both looked away.
"So how come you're out here?"
He exhaled slowly, a puff of smoke rising into the air. "I came to see my son for the first time."
"Oh." She looked over the scrubs he was wearing, and the way he kept running his hand over his face whenever he wasn't taking a drag of his cigarette. "You don't look very happy considering you just became a dad."
Kasey had a way of putting her foot in it, and she was positive now was one of those occasions, but he only nodded. He looked like he was struggling with himself, but he seemed to accept her observation.
"He's premature and he's not well," he explained. "He's so small."
"I'm so sorry," Kasey told him, shuffling over to close the space between them.
He nodded his head to show his appreciation. "Why are you here?"
"I killed my husband."
Kasey wasn't sure what surprised her more, the fact that she had admitted such a thing to a stranger, or that this stranger didn't seem to be bothered by it. In fact, he smiled. To avoid the subject she decided to change it.
"So what do you do when you're not being a dad or hanging outside hospitals smoking?"
He seemed to think that over. "I work at the Teller-Morrow garage."
"Ah, Samcro. You're one of the Sons." This time he really did look surprised. "My husband had a thing for you guys. I'm sure he would have tried to join up."
"Why did you kill him?"
"He stabbed me first."
They shared another look. He put his cigarette out, then extended his hand out. "Jax."
She put her own cigarette out before shaking his hand. "Kasey."
"If it makes you feel any better I wouldn't have let someone like your husband join up."
Kasey laughed at that. "There's a lot of reasons why you wouldn't have let him in."
A moment of silence seemed to pass between them. "How long are you in here for?"
"A little while longer."
At that Jax stood up. He ran his hands through his hair before moving to stand in front of Kasey. He held both his hands. She placed her hands into his open ones and allowed him to help her stand. Once she was on her feet, he let go. As they turned to head back inside he surprised her by holding his arm out, she looped her own arm with his and he supported most of her weight as they went inside.
