Chapter 7
Sorry for the delay in updating. Only a short chapter but I promise I will update again soon.
The party was alive and kicking, members from Tacoma had made the journey for the princess of redwoods 1st birthday.
Gemma, as usual, was fussing over her grand babies and showing them off to anyone who came near.
Tara was sitting outside in the sun, jax walked over,
" babe, are you ok ?"
" yeah, just forgot how hectic our life is. All these people at a kids party place wearing leather and stripper heels. Bit different to a few days ago. " she laughed.
" it won't be like before. I've learnt from my mistakes. You and Jt come first. I love these guys and the club, but I love and need you two more" he stared into her eyes, she saw the truth reflecting back to her.
" I know, I've learnt not to run. But what happens when I start school ?" She put her head down, not wanting to make eye contact.
" we will make it work, you really need to do that for you, we have all the help we can get here, or we can move out there. Wherever you need to be we will go "
He grabbed her hand and kissed the back of it.
Gemma came walking over with a grumpy baby,
"Sorry, someone wants their." She was cut off as Jt leant out to jax" daddy" they laughed.
" I'm so glad she still knows who I am" he whispered.
" of coarse baby, she will never forget either of you. " Gemma sat down next to Tara wrapping her arm around her " you ok mom ?"
" yeah, gem. I'm fine, bit overwhelmed at all the love, I wasn't sure me coming back would be a good or bad welcoming"
" baby girl, you never did anything wrong. See all those people" she pointed to the large crowd of bikers, their families and cro eaters. " they all see you as their little girl, as me and clay do. What ever happens with you and Jackson you will always be family to them. Now your home with the most treasured princess of all. Anything you want and it's yours, just ask them" Gemma kissed her forehead and went back inside.
The time had come to leave the play centre and everyone was heading back to the club house. Tara was loading Jt into her car, when a camero came screaming into the parking lot and shots where fired, clay bellowed at Tara to get down and he ran towards her tackling her into the back seat.
" stay here" he ordered and took off towards his bike, as the Tacoma boys took off after the shooter. Jax came running towards the car, he could see Tara's legs hanging out of the door but she wasn't moving.
" babe, babe TARA ! " he was screaming by the time he got to her. She still wasn't moving, there was blood all over her shoulder and face. Opie heard his screams and ran out to him.
" I've got her brother" he carefully scooped her up and laid her down on the pavement, Gemma grabbed a screaming Jt from her seat, whilst watching in panic over Tara she tried soothing the toddler.
" jax" she croaked.
"Babe, are you ok ? Where you hit ?" His eyes were scanning her from head to toe looking for a bullet wound.
" no, I'm ok. Clay pushed me out of the way, I think I hit my head. Jt is she ok ?"
" yeah, mom. She's fine" Gemma assured her.
You could see Tara physically relax. Opie noticed a lot of blood coming from her, she was passing in and out of consciousness.
" jax, brother. I think she was hit. That's a lot of blood for a knock to the head" both opie and jax started moving Tara's arms n legs then rolling her, they found it. A graze from a shot right above her crow.
" Jesus Christ. Babe, babe,BABE !" Jas screamed.
All of samcro scrambled to Tara. Gemma was dialing for an ambulance.
" when are we gunna catch a break ?" Jax sighed.
" your old lady is tough,she'll make it. "
Later at the hospital Clay and Tacoma arrived. They checked in on Tara's operation and headed to the chapel to inform jax and guys the info on the shooter.
" who the hell went after my family ?" Jax growled.
" son, you'd better sit down. " Clay suggested, Jax sat down. " we followed the car, it pulled up out the front of the hairy dog and Wendy got out. "
" Jesus Christ" Jax stood up and started pacing.
" there's more, she's pregnant." Clay stepped forward and held Jax's shoulder.
" fuck, that's bad " Opie whispered.
" she recons it's your brother " kozik said.
" what am I going to tell Tara ? Where is Wendy ?"
Tig walked over and hugged Jax. " she is at the club house. We weren't sure what to do and knew that you would want to see that for yourself. "
"Ok, I'm going to check on Tara. Then I'll head over to see the junkie. " Opie stood and went with Jax. The rest of the boys headed to TM.
