All she was trying to do with get Gemma to help Wendy. Although what Wendy had done to Abel was unforgivable, it didn't mean she didn't feel for her. Wendy was in a bad way and couldn't stop crying. After suggesting to Gemma that she goes and sees Wendy and being shot down the way she was. Tara tried not to show her frustration. Running her hand through her hair for probably the fifth time, so far today. "Do you have a problem with me assisting on this surgery?"'
Gemma with her ever superior grin ''Are you a good doctor?'' Gemma had always been a bitch. That's why the nickname Mother-Gemma was given to her during Tara's teenage years. So far she hadn't scared Tara off and she won't start now. "Yes"
"Then no I don't" Gemma said, always having to have the last word. To express how much better she believes she is than everybody else. Tara considered the conversation finished and started to walk away. Gemma reached forward for Tara scrubs locating the crow tattoo that she got while dating Jax, making a comment about how somethings don't change. Tara froze, hoping that her baby bump couldn't be seen from the back. Pulling down her top, she turned and said "'I leave it there so, I know it's behind me''
Not giving Gemma the chance to have her say, Tara started walking away again. She heard Gemma mutter "I forgot how smart you are Bitch, that didn't stop you two months ago''. Tara was having the worst day. After her run in with Gemma, nothing improved. Between the continuous morning sickness, having to rush to the bathroom to pee and the endless rounds and patients she had to attend to, there was also Jax.
Tara had run into Jax after she had finished reading a story to Abel. Jax embraced her "is he gonna be okay?" Leaning into his embrace, the first time something had felt right all day "He looks good" Noticing the blood on his shirt "clean yourself up, Jax" she said in disappointment.
Finally the day was over and it was time for Tara to meet Donna. After a much needed rest and some food, the day was starting to get better. Picking Donna up outside of her house, she seemed relaxed to have a break from the kids and Opie. Donna explained how things had been tough for them since his release. They were trying to put their family back together, she didn't know how to explain how she felt the club was tearing their family apart without making things worse with Opie. After lunch and a much needed catch up, they had decided to go their separate ways. Donna to the bank to try and get more time for their house loan repayments and Tara to her first ultrasound.
Tara arrived at the doctor's office. Having chosen somewhere other than the hospital in fear of Jax or Gemma finding out. Tara let the receptionist know of her arrival and was advised to take a seat until the doctor called her name. After a wait, her name was finally called. Nervous Tara followed the doctor into the examination room.
Dr Johnson introduced herself and asked some routine questions about her health and pregnancy history. Tara let her know about her abortion and that she had two positive pregnancy tests and all medical history. Suggesting that they got started, Tara was left alone to change into a gown and laid down on the exam bed.
"The gel may be a little cold" Dr Johnson said, applying the gel to her belly and moving the wand around. A heartbeat filled the room. "That's your baby! Heartbeat sounds good, you are eight weeks along".
After watching the screen a little longer. The doctor asked if she wanted a picture of the sonogram. ''Yes please'' Tara replied still smiling with tears in her eyes. Making another appointment in four weeks' time, she rushed to meet Donna.
In the rush to meet Donna, she had left the picture visible. Tara noticed Donna looking at the picture shocked. She looked at Tara and opened her mouth to ask. Tara lightly shaking her head ''Can we discuss this later please?'' still in shock of seeing her baby.
Dropping Donna off, Tara went home and slept. She spent the following day cleaning out her old bedroom in preparation of getting a few things ready for the baby. She also organised her father's closet to separate what she needs to throw out and the things that were okay to donate.
… The Following Day…..
Upon arriving at work, the nurses had filled Tara in on Wendy. She had attempted to overdose with crack last night and no one was sure how she got the drugs. But Tara knew, this had Gemma all over it. The funhouse was in town, so hopefully it would be a slow day without too many hassles. Think of the devil and she shall appear, Tara thought, noticing Gemma in the waiting area.
Walking over towards her ''Gemma''
"Abel seems better. Stronger'' Tara pushed. ''Yeah''
''He is a lucky kid. Both he and his mom escaped death in one night''
''Yeah'' Gemma replied. ''I heard about Wendy. Very sad'' Tara said, forcing the issue further.
Gemma said with a smirk on her face ''I can't say I'm surprised''
''I talked to her after the baby was born. She was crushed. She hated herself, but she wanted to live. No somebody else popped her with the needle. Or, at the very least, gave her the loaded gun'' Tara said, indicating that she believed Gemma to be that person.
After a little more back and forth, Tara suggested that she might go to Jax with her concerns. Gemma snarky replied ''that's how you going to win his heart back, accusing his mother. Especially after you took off again, leaving him alone after you got what you needed from him. Don't worry, Jax mended his hurt with someone else's pussy after your visit.''. Staring after Gemma, Tara watched her walk towards the elevator.
A young girl was bought in after being raped at the Funhouse. After treating Tristen's injuries and speaking to her parents, the Oswalds. Trying to comfort them, and assure them that Tristen would be okay. Tara needed a breather. She called Donna and filled her in on her run in with Gemma. It sounded like Gemma been on the warpath, Donna had also ran into her at the grocery store and Gemma had made some comment about 'Samcro being the glue'. Wanting to explain everything to Donna about the sonogram photo and tell someone about the baby, Tara organised for Donna to come for a late lunch at the hospital.
