CHAPTER 7
Tara stood in front of her mirror just looking at herself. Today was the day she took down her mother-in-law, and she had so many feelings. Yes, Gemma helped kill her own husband. Yes, Gemma tried repeatedly to end her and Jax, but she was still the woman who took her shopping for prom because her dad was to drunk, she was the woman who would pick Tara up at any time of night when she feared it might be the night her dad drank to much and got physical. Was she really about to do this, was she really ratting Gemma out? As Tara stood there Trinity knocked
"Tara love Abel was crying for you."
"Oh thank you." Tara gave the biggest smile she could to her son and nothing about it was fake, when Abel smiled back Tara remembered why she was doing this and no matter what good Gemma had done it meant nothing now. As long as Gemma and Clay controlled that club her family would not end up whole and Tara knew that.
"Alright Trin you ready to do this?"
"Yep." Trinity said nothing more just gave Tara a smile and led the way to the truck, Tara was using Jax truck until she got a new car.
As They walked into the police station all eyes were on them. It was no secret Tara was Jax old lady and topic of Trinity spread like wildfire but what was shocking was a Samcro old lady willing walking into the police station especially when they were not here to bail anyone out.
"Hey darlin what you doing here, aint got no memebers in my cells do I?" Unser smiled laughing at his own joke.
"No, I'm here to see Hale and get some paper work for my insurance company."
"Oh I can get you that."
"Thanks Cheif but it's OK I wanted to see how David was doing anyways. Not had a chance to talk to him since his dad died."
Unser had a weird feeling, Jax Tellers practically wife coming in to see Hale and asking for him by name, something was up.
"Alright darling I will go get him."
...
"Tara! Hey how are you doing?" Hale gave Tara an awkward hug, her belly was starting to get in the way a little.
"David, Hi. This is Trinity my sister-in-law. So we were hoping to get those papers for my insurance company from you?"
"Yeah they are on my desk follow me."
As the three entered the office Tara started feeling that sick feeling again. She wished she would of brought Abel instead of leaving him with Rat least then she would have the constant reminder of why she was doing this.
"Here you go Tara, you need anything else? You and the kids OK?"
Tara rubbed her belly and took a deep breath "Actually we need to talk, is this a private room, cameras?"
"Yeah were good, no cameras in here. Tara what's going on?"
Tara was unable to speak to Trinity decided the least she could do was start this off for her sister-in-law
"Is it OK if I call you David?" Hale nodded not sure what was going on
"Alright David here it goes, we have belief that Gemma Teller and Clay Morrow were involved in the death of John Teller and possibly Lowell Sr. we also believe that the chief helped in covering up the murder and we would like your help?"
Hale looked stunned, the club didn't not come to the police with these kinds of issues, they also did not rat and he knew Old lady's did not speak of club things "Tara does Jax know your here? Are you safe?"
Finally being able to breath Tara answered knowing he would need to hear all of this from her, just like Jax had said. "David I'm fine and yes Jax along with the club know I'm here. We need your help, I need your help. Jax wants the club out of guns and the only way to do that is to make this a police issue but we need your help keeping me, my kids and the club safe. I know you don't like the club but Jax told me that you agreed they were good for the town if they would get rid of the violence so here we are."
Hale said nothing for almost five minutes. "OK first, how do you know this?"
"Trinity is the daughter of John and a girl he fell for in Ireland. John wrote her many letters saying his fear of death by his best friend and wife also the police report of the accident doesn't make since and that's my medical opinion."
Tara handed the letters to Hale praying his hate for the club didn't effect his choice to help to much. He could either help Jax and Tara or he could use this and take down the whole club. Take down Clay and expose Jax as a rat to the other charters.
"OK, second if I read these and see cause then how do we do this and keep you safe?"
"I came here today for insurance stuff, were old friends and you wanted to check in so we stayed and talked for a while, when I leave to go the bathroom Trinity gave you the letters and asked for your help looking into her fathers death. Your a cop you felt like you had to, plus everyone knows you hate the club and want to see them all in jail."
"Tara that's not true, the club does keep Charming, Charming but the violence and death is my issue. Will Jax really take the club straight?"
"David I promise the club wants this, Jax wants this. You should come by the club house one day see the changes that have already been made."
"OK Tara I will look into this but if I see no reason to run with it I wont, Unser might be in bed with Clay but I wont make him look bad just before he retires for no reason."
"Honestly we don't care if Unser get's taken down this is all about Clay and Gemma, the guys just worrie when Clay finds out, will Unser be willing to do his dirty work. On that note I'm gonna go use the bathroom and then we can go."
Tara walked out of Hales office catching Unser's eye. She gave a sweet smile and a wave hoping it looked the same as any other time she did it. Tara took her time in the bathroom which wasn't hard because the baby had been playing kick ball with her bladder all week. As she headed back to get Trinity she noticed she was already waiting outside the bathroom for her. "You ok sis? You want to go home?"
"No i'm good lets go to the club house, got some work to do and Happy text I guess a car came in they have no paper work for."
"Those lads are like children I tell ya."
As the girls walked out the police station they gave each other a slight smile hoping this would work.
Back at the club house
"OPIE! She's on her way."
"Alright what did you tell her?"
"Told her there was a car left here but we have no paper work."
Lyla gave a small chuckle they were all sitting out side eating lunch waiting for Tara and Trinity to see how everything went.
"She's gonna be pist, you know she's freaking out that you messed up her office right." Happy just shrugged and gave her a smile on his way back to the garage "I don't know what that girl has done to him and I feel good in saying she isn't fucking him but since him and Tara have become friends you can almost see the kind in Happy."
"Yeah I know, it's freaky." Opie joked but he liked seeing the Tacoma killer caring about something, he only ever seemed to care about his mom until now.
"Baby she's here." Lyla couldn't wait to show Tara the surprise.
Tara stepped out of the car in a mild mood, she had grown angrier in the short car ride, how was she meant to take time off to have the baby and take care of the baby like everyone wanted her to, when they couldn't even keep paper work straight. She knew she would always be around the shop when she stopped working anyways so she could check in anytime just in case but she was really looking forward to not having to stress about paper work and it seemed like that was not going to happen.
"ANTHONY!"
"Tara who you yelling for?"
"You'll see." She said with a wicked grin
"I Knew telling you shit was a bad idea woman, and I thought I told you not to call me that." Happy came out of bay 3 half annoyed because they guys now knew his name and half amused how Tara brought the same fear his mother did when she would yell his name.
"I thought I told you not to screw up the shop."
"Dude your names Anthony?" Kozik decided to join in all to amused that Tara just got away with that.
"I'll gut you."
"Alright boy's play nice or I'll ban the crow eaters for a week, now what did you idiots do?"
"Oh come on mama, why do you think we did something wrong, maybe we just have a surprise."
By this point everyone was out front and Tara knew something either really bad happened or something really good happened.
"Fiona, Lyla will one of you tell me what the hell is going on?"
Fiona spoke up knowing Tara's hormones had been getting the best of her and she had a pretty short fuse lately "It's OK love nothing bad but first how did everything go?"
"Went just the way we hoped Hale's gonna call me later to tell me what he thinks."
"OK then in that case we have some things to share with the family, you might want to sit."
"OH MY GOD JAX."
"God guys I told you she would go straight to the worse case, will you please tell her already before her water brakes." Trinity already knew what everyone had to say but no one believed her when she said doing it this way was a bad idea.
"Tara I said nothing bad but couple things. First I want to thank you all for welcoming me and Kerriann and making us family. Filip loves you all so much and we have grown to feel the same in such a short amount of time that me and Kerriann have decided that maybe it's time were a family again."
Everyone knew what she was saying but no one wanted to say anything because Fiona always said Ireland was where her home and life were and she would never leave that so the fear everyone felt was the same, the fear of losing Chibs.
"It's alright lads, I'm staying but so are my girls. They have agreed after long long conversations to stay and live in Charming also Fiona has agreed to marry me again!"
All the girls leaped from there spots to hug Fiona and Kerriann, this was the most amazing news ever and just the right time to hear it.
Lyla pulled away "Alright , Alright we still have one more surprise. Tara close your eyes."
Happy placed his hands over Tara's eyes and led her towards the side of the club house "Ok Open."
Tara opened her eyes to a brand new silver Escalade Rover "Is it? WOW. I mean is it? Wow!"
Everyone laughed and Lyla wrapped Tara in a hug "You want to hear the best part, after I found out that you got one I gave Opie the silent treatment and now we have matching ones."
Tara and Lyla hugged and giggled like school girls while the guys just laughed at Opie who had his head down in shame for giving in so easy. "No one says a word." Opie growled with humor in his voice.
As everyone sat out side talking and laughing Tara sat silently watching the people around her and she held a sleeping Abel. This was what Jax wanted for them when they were 16. This is what he hoped the club would be and finally he was being true to his word. Tara had found a family, she had found her place in the world Jax lived in and for once it didn't scare her it made her happy, strong, loved. She had a new sister-in-law who she instantly loved, The Tacoma killer was becoming her best friend while her other best friend was a porn star, she found a brother in Opie and a father in Piney, For once Tara felt like this was how her life was meant to be. "Hey everyone listen up. I want to do a dinner to celebrate Fiona and Kerriann finally giving into this crazy family. This Friday at mine?"
Everyone quickly agreed and the girls started planning for the first Family dinner in a very long time. Things were starting to look hopeful for the Samco family and for once know one was concerned of blow back from another club, stress of business, or fear someone might die tomorrow.
But how long would it last?
