Maitreya awoke to her phone buzzing on the nightstand next to her. Rubber her eyes she picked up her phone and saw it was Gemma calling her. Shaking her head and gritting her teeth she left the phone on the nightstand and walked into the bathroom. Walking down stairs she noticed Tig was gone. Walking into the kitchen she poured some orange juice into a cup when she heard knocking on the door. "What the fuck?" Maitreya asked in a hushed voice. Looking out the window she couldn't believe who was standing on her door step.
"Tara Knowles, what can I do for you?" Tara hugged her purse close to her. "Look Maitreya I was just wondering I could come in and we could talk, woman to woman?" Nodding softly Maitreya moved slowly to let Tara in. "Look I know you hate me, I understand that what I did to Jax effected you more because you and Jax are so close but I'm sorry for that, I'm a different person than I was back then, I just want you to know that." Maitreya took a sip from her glass and placed it on the coffee table. "Tara this whole I hate thing doesn't just go back to when you broke Jax's heart. I've never really liked you. You growing up always thought that you were so much better than anyone else. And you always thought that you were right, about everything. Trust me the whole Jax thing just escalated how much I really don't like you." Maitreya picked up her glass and walked into the kitchen to place it in the sink. "Well I'm in Jax's life and I'm not going anywhere and you're just going to except it. Besides I've heard your think of divorcing your husband so you're not even going to be in Charming after you file so, so maybe you should get a jump start on what you do best. And leave." Maitreya hung on to the counter top. "Listen bitch, you're in my house. You know nothing about marriage. And they way I look at, is that you're not family, until Jax place a pretty little shinny ring on that finger there." Tara smirked as she took in a deep breath. "You know what this was a bad idea, I never should've come here. I just thought that because you were Jax's family that we should be close, I thought we could be friends." Tara grabbed her bag and left. Maitreya shook her head. "This day can only get worse."
After a quick shower and quick bite to eat, Maitreya walked into the bedroom and collapsed on the bed. Rubber the frustration from her eyes her phone started to ring for the second time that day. Again looking over she noticed it was Gemma calling. Shaking her head in frustration she answered. "Yes?" Maitreya asked. "Damn next time I'll give you more than a couple of weeks to talk to you." Maitreya rolled her eyes. "I didn't even realize that it's been a couple of weeks since we last talked." Maitreya walked over to dresser and noticed the manila folder. "What the hell have you been doing, screwing around?" Maitreya chuckled. "Yeah something like that, look what is it Gemma, is everything okay?" Gemma cleared her throat. "I just wanted to know if you could give me a hand with shopping, Abel's coming home as early as next week and in the next few days I'll be really busy so I'm today is my only free day, wanna come, and do a girl's day?" Maitreya smiled. "Yeah Gemma sounds fun, I'll grab my bag and meet you at the mall." Maitreya got up and walked to the closet. "No I'll pick you up I'm almost to your house anyway." Maitreya was taken back. "Wow um okay, I'll see you soon then." Maitreya grabbed her bag and waited outside for Gemma to pull up.
"Oh how about this one, with the blue penguin on the tummy?" Gemma asked holding up the onesie. Maitreya turned. "Oh my God it's cute, but don't you think, and please forgive me for asking but, don't you think Wendy should be doing this?" Gemma pulled out the onesie she liked and placed it in the cart. "I thought we weren't going to talk about that junkie bitch?" Maitreya rolled her eyes. "I'm just trying to make slight conversation. She's better now, and she is practically the only friend I have left." Gemma started pushing the cart around the store. "She can't be the only one left." Smiling Maitreya turned to Gemma. "It's the truth after marring Tig I left a lot of my friends behind I thought it was more important to try to be a loyal wife to my husband, than to go out and get smashed. But then again I was getting smashed at home with my husband so I don't know how that works out." Gemma nodded as she added more items to the cart. "That's what happened when I got married to John, I put off everything I knew, left everyone behind, and came back to Charming with a baby and motorcycle club. At the end of the day I didn't care if I had friends because I knew I had my child and husband and they were going to always be there for me." Gemma continued down the aisle as Maitreya hung back thinking about what Gemma had just told her.
"Alright doll, thanks for the help today, it was fun, kinda like the words that were said never happened." Maitreya pulled her hair in a messy bun. "Yeah it was fun, nice to escape for a while, thanks for the invite." Gemma pulled her seat belt on. "Well it was my pleasure to help you escape, anytime, I'll call you when I know the exact date for when Abel's coming home and we can set a party up at Jax's. It'll be nice for the club. After all we all need at least one night to escape." Maitreya nodded. "Yeah tell me about it. Okay I'll see you later Gemma."
Walking up and down the aisles Maitreya couldn't believe that she might be in this situation. Reading the back of the package a familiar voice made her jump. "Maitreya hey when did you get home?" Turning Maitreya smiled as Donna approached her. "Donna hey, how have you been?" Donna gave Maitreya a worm hug. "I've been back for almost a month and half now I had some issues to work out. But what's with the warm "hey" I thought you didn't like my family?" Donna gave a slight chuckle. "Yeah I have defiantly been the definition of a cold hearted bitch, but Opie made me see that the club is family so I've actually enlisted my help with Abel's party." Maitreya smiled. "That's great, Gemma will be happy for that, she hasn't stopped calling my phone to get party supplies and decorations it makes me wonder if she was this amped up when she brought Jax home." Donna laughed. "She's just excited that's all. Anyway I'll see you tonight." Maitreya nodded as she watched Donna leave down the aisle. Grabbing the pregnancy test off the shelf she placed on the check out, paid, and left.
Gemma placed the "Welcome Home" banner up over the archway as Maitreya pulled out cups, paper plates and plastic forks/spoons. "Something on your mind hun, you've been really quiet." Maitreya shook her head slightly. "Fine, everything is fine, I'm just over stressed with everything I guess." Gemma placed the tape on the table as she grabbed the streamers. "We are really putting streamers up?" Gemma gave her slight smile. "Yes, it's a party. You know fun and games." Maitreya pulled out party hats and gave Gemma a funny look. "You do know people aren't going to wear these?" Looking at the door she noticed someone walking up the walkway. "Gemma, Wendy's here." Gemma looked over. "Well, never thought I would see you here." Wendy walked in and placed her bag on the table. "Look I'm just here to talk; I didn't know that was a crime. Anyway I want to talk about, Tara and Jax, and able of course." Gemma placed the bag of balloons on the table. "Well you can start but helping us blow some balloons up." Gemma handed Wendy a handful of balloons. Chuckling Wendy grabbed them and started blowing air into them. "So I'm guessing Jax is with Tara, isn't he?" Gemma looked over and then continued what she was doing. "It's obvious isn't it?" Maitreya retorted as she blew air into one of the balloons herself. "I fucking knew it, it was always going to be the doctor and the biker wasn't it. I'm so stupid." Maitreya tossed the balloon in the air. "See Gemma, I'm not the only one that hates the doctor bitch." Gemma gave her a crossed look. "Wendy you'll still be in Jax and Abel's life, trust me but you need to earn that trust back, you understand." Wendy nodded as she continued to blow up balloons. Gemma's phone began to ring. "That is Jax, he's getting ready to bring Abel home, Maitreya while Wendy and I are gone you think you can finish putting up the rest of the decorations?" Maitreya nodded in agreement. Watching Gemma and Wendy leave she grabbed her purse and went into the bathroom. Pulling out the test she read the directions on the back. After peeing on the test she read to see that it would take about 5 minutes to know if it was a plus or minus. Before she could read her test, her phone began ringing. Tossing the test in her purse she raced to the table to notice Tig was calling her.
"Hey is everything alright?" Maitreya asked not trying to sound too concerned. "Yeah everything is fine I just wanted to know if you were at Jax's?" Sitting in the chair at the table, she pushed a strand of hair out of her face. "Yeah, Gemma's got me on hanging decorations. How was, how was the hit, you make it back unscathed I'm hoping?" Tig chuckled. "Yeah, I'm fine, Opie too. I'm just going to run back to the house grab a few things and I'll be at Jax's in a half hour." Tracing her finger around the plate in front of her she fought on whether or not to tell him. "Okay sounds good, I'm glad to hear Op's okay but, I thought my dad and you were planning something." Tig sighed. "I'm not going to worry you with that, look I'll see you soon." Taking a deep breath, Maitreya nodded. "Okay, bye." Placing her hands over her eyes she didn't know what she was going to do.
Gemma walked into the kitchen with empty bottles. "You know I swear those men out there could live off just beer." Donna chuckled at the statement. "Treya thank you for putting up the rest of the decorations means a lot to me." Grabbing a nacho and dipping it in salsa she couldn't help but smile. "It was my pleasure besides I wanted to do it for Jax, he seems so happy now, Wendy too it's like they're one big happy family again." That happiness was short lived when Tara arrived. "Guess I spoke too soon." Gemma shook her head. "Hey doc, want a beer?" Tara walked in the kitchen. "Yeah I'd love one, Maitreya the house looks great you did a great job." Maitreya nodded. "Thanks glad you approve. I'm gunna see what Tig's doing for the rest of the night, excuse me." Gemma watch Maitreya leave the room and continued to clean in the kitchen. Walking over the array of bodies she sat next to Tig on the couch. Tara decided to join as well. "Hey, wanted to see what you were doing anything tonight?" Tig looked over and grabbed his drink. "I have some things to pick up from the club house but, I'll probably be home later, why is everything okay?" Maitreya looked up at him. "Everything's fine." Maitreya looked over to see Tara sneak a kiss as Wendy saw as well. Jax took Tara into another room. "Fucking bitch." Maitreya said in a hushed voice. Tig chuckled. After a argument Tara left and Juice was instructed to follower her. Donna and Opie also left the party Looking over she noticed her father look a Tig. Tig grabbed her hand and led her into an empty room. "You have the keys to your car right?" Maitreya folded her arms. "Yeah why?" Tig drank the rest of his beer. "I have some things at the club house that I told you and I'm just going to get them, I'm not going to be able to give you a ride." Walking over she leaned against the wall. "Yeah that's fine, babe are you sure your okay, you've been weird all night." Tig cupped her face. "Everything's fine, I promise, how about you get home, I'm sure Gemma can clean her mess." Maitreya chuckled. "Yeah good point, okay after you leave, I'll take off." Tig gave her a passionate kiss. "Good girl."
Watching Tig leave, she walked into the living room and grabbed her purse. Gemma grabbed her shoulder. "You scared the shit outta me." Gemma folded her arms. "Sorry, don't tell me your leaving?" Grabbing her keys she slipped her bag over her arm. "Yeah, I'm tired it's been a long day." Gemma nodded in agreement. "It has, Abel's home, your still here, it was nice to escape." Maitreya nodded. "Alright I'll call you in the morning." Gemma pulled her in for a hug. "Alright baby, night."
Maitreya threw her bag on the bed next to her as she collapsed. Closing her eyes she wasn't expecting to fall asleep. The next thing she heard was glass breaking. Springing from her bed she hesitated to open the door. Walking slowly down the corridor she walked into the bathroom to find Tig with a cut over his eye. "Holy shit, Tig what happened?" Grabbing a towel she placed it softly over his eye. "Nothing I uh, I just took a spill on the bike is all, nothing major." Removing it slowly she started to wash away the blood. "Your lucky you don't need stitches. What about the mirror?" Tig looked at the broken shards at his feet. "I went to open it and the fucking thing fell off. I'll get it fixed later this week." Reaching for another towel she replaced it. "You sure you're okay?" Tig nodded. "I swear everything is fine." Placing a bandage over his eye she led him to the bedroom. "Look Tig I, you have never been this distant, you're sure everything is okay?" Tig looked over. "Like I said before, everything's fine." Maitreya gave him a kiss on the forehead. "Okay, I'm just going to shut the light off in the bathroom, I'll be right back." Grabbing her purse slowly she walked into the bathroom and closed the door. Maneuvering around the shards of mirror she sat on the toilet with her test upside down, closing her eyes she flipped it over and let out a gasp.
