I know, I'm terrible because it has been so long, but I sincerely apologize! I hope you enjoy this chapter and let me know what you think! Kind of a filler chapter to get me back into this. I'm hoping to be able to update within a short time, we'll see if life agrees with me. If there's any grammatical errors, I apologize. I was a little too excited to upload for you peeps.

It had been a couple months since Tara got out the hospital, everything seemed to be settling back down. She was not seven and a half months pregnant and waddling around town happy, things between her and Jax were going great. The ring he slipped onto her finger was glimmering in the light as she walked towards his house, which was hers now too. She hadn't taken it off her finger other than a couple weeks ago when she had gotten mad at him and chucked the ring at his face swearing up and down he'd regret coming home that late.

*Flashback*

Sitting there Tara was looking at door every few minutes wondering why he was so late. She had the ring in her hand, playing it between her fingers, tears threatening to spill out of her eyes at any second. She heard the door open and shot up to her feet from the kitchen table.

"Babe?" Looking down the hall Jax didn't see her but the minute he turned around he felt her hand land hard on his cheek, "What the hell, Tara?" He wasn't angry, just surprised.

"What whore were you fucking now?!" Now, he was just confused and saw the hurt and anger in her eyes, tears coming down silently.

"Babe, I wasn't with anyone dad held church later than usual. Why would you even think that?"

Before walking away she groaned and tore herself from his grip, getting to the end of the hall she turned around and threw the ring right at him. After a second, Jax picked it up off the floor and started for the bedroom, she hadn't locked it which meant she wasn't as pissed anymore.

Entering it, he saw her sitting on the edge of the bed with her head in her hands. He never liked seeing her like this and walked over to her, sitting right next to her. He didn't expect her to lean into him and rest her head on his shoulder but it made him feel better. Slinging his arm around her he lifted her up into his lap and rested his chin on top of her head.

"What's going on babe? Why would you even think I would do something like that?"

Sighing she looked up from her spot on his chest and looked into his eyes. "I don't know, my hormones are all over the place and I look like a whale, there's better girls out there that don't look like this right now."

He should've known, but he didn't think that would ever be a problem for them again. "Listen to me babe because I'm only saying this once. You are the only one I want and that will never change. I don't care about other croweaters at all, and the fact that you want to jump my bones every time you see me as of late is even better. I have everything I want and need, so put away those thoughts for good." Lifting up her finger he slid the ring back on and looked in her eyes, "I don't want this coming off ever again, until it's replaced by an even bigger ring that says you're soon to be mine forever."

*End of flashback*

Thinking back on it, she couldn't see why she had been so emotional, other than her hormones being all over the place. Walking up to the door, she pulled out her keys and opened up the house. Jax had been on a run a few days ago and him and the guys were due back today, she wanted to help Gemma set up the dinner they were having as a welcome back to them. "Gemma, you in here?"

"In the kitchen, sweetie." Walking in she saw the matriarch at the stove, stirring a million things at once. "Wow, you've been busy while I've been gone." Standing next to her she set the bag she got from the grocery store down on it, which had booze in it for the guys. Turning over, Gemma looked at Tara to make sure she was still in one piece and was doing good. Jax had called her every night to see how Tara was doing because he wanted to make sure she wasn't just telling him what he wanted to hear so he didn't worry while he was gone.

"Gemma, stop looking at me like I'm going to break in two pieces."

"I'm sorry baby, I just worry. You aren't the only one I'm looking after now, ya know." Smirking as she looked at her ever growing bump. Shooting her a look Tara half smiled, "I know Jax has been calling you to check up on me, and like I promise him every time I talk to him, I am perfectly fine, Abel is perfectly fine, and we will be fine. He's coming back tonight and he's acting like he won't be here for his birth." The last part wasn't said with very much assertion but Tara knew the life, she knew anything could happen at any time.

Gemma nodded her and and changed the topic to things they would have to do to get ready for tonight, Tara listened and got most of the stuff ready. By seven o'clock both of them were worn out and Tara's feet had gotten even more swollen then they had been lately with her walking around all day. "Donna should be here soon. She said something about Opie not wanting her anymore and that she needed to come talk to us so that she could figure out what to do with the baby."

Gemma couldn't help but let out a full whole hearted laugh, "You and Donna are two, pregnant, peas in a pod. Always thinking they don't want you because you're pregnant, I got some news for you baby girl, they had a part in putting that baby in there. They love both of you more than just a damned love. I had my doubts about you and my son but when I look at the two of you I have no doubt that he would choose you and your little family over me and the life he has come to know, in a heartbeat." Looking at Tara with a more serious face now, she continued, "I know your hormones are a part of why you're going so crazy but you have to know that nothing would ever change his love for you."

Tara looked at Gemma and nodded, "I know you're right and Donna and me will get over it soon enough but it just makes it harder now that they're not here to snap us out of it right away. But they'll be back tonight and our crazy asses will be back to them instead of you, you've heard enough bitching lately." She added a wink at the end to put some ease on the topic.

"Good, so when she gets here we can just come up with a way to mess with them a little tonight, since they've been gone a while." Both women grew a sly smile on their faces as a knock came on the door and Gemma hollered for them to come into the living room. As Donna walked in, or waddled to be more precise, and plopped down on the couch, next to the two of them.

"Save it, I know I'm crazy and need to get my shit together." Tara tried fighting the smile that was coming on but she gave up. "Wow, that was fast. You figured all that out on your way over here, wait how did you get over here. I thought you were down town?"

Blowing out a breath she began, "I was at the Diner and after I told you what happened Harry called and I may have blew up on him and told him I was tired of him doing God knows what when he was on a run... "

"Donna… what happened?"

"... I blew up and he cursed whoever decided to raise me the way I am and whoever was putting thoughts in my head. He had the nerve to ask me if this was just my way of making him come home early because I wanted him to fuck my brains out." A red blush formed on her cheeks which brought a smirk from Gemma and Tara, "Well..?" Tara probed.

"Well.. I told him in short that, that was exactly what I needed and if he didn't hurry his ass up he wouldn't get any until this baby came out." The three of the began laughing and didn't stop until they heard a knock on the door, "You expecting anyone?"

Shaking her head, Gemma slowly got up and went up to the door, looking out the peephole she gasped in a delighted shock as she opened up the door.

There was JT, standing on the other side of the door smiling at his wife. "Hey babe, I missed you." She went into his spread out arms and wrapped herself around him, "You're not suppose to be back until later tonight, I have a dinner and everything being set up."

"We headed back a little earlier after what happened with the girls, I don't know why Harry was in such a rush, yelling at everyone to get things done." Poking his head around the wall he saw Donna and Tara sitting on the couch trying to keep from smiling, "I'm guessing it has something to do with the two of you. Henry was bossing everyone around and Jax was looking every bit the nervous dad-to-be."

Tara coughed out the laugh threatening to come out, "Jax is just being Jax… You know worried about me. Plus he's a teenage boy, raging with hormones." She couldn't keep the laugh from coming out now, she knew it was complete shit, he was worried about her but she'd been horny as hell lately and she made sure to let him know. "As for poor little Opie Donna may have said something to get his ass in rush mode. Who knew they'd actually listen?" All four of them had been smiling at this point, as JT walked further into his house and walked over to the couch bringing down Gemma onto his lap.

"Speaking of the guy," Donna looked around, "Where are they?"

"We had one more thing to take care of so I told them to meet me at the clubhouse for church before Gemma took over with her dinner and ordering everyone around." He winked at his wife as she glared at him. "I don't know what you're speaking of, I don't order anyone around." Even as she said it, she couldn't keep a straight face. "Fuck you John," she smiled, "Head over and finish up your business while we finish up business here."

Giving his wife a kiss he lifted her up and stood up tall, "I'll see you ladies in a little while." He smiled at them and headed out, if he didn't get church over with he knew he'd be right next to Jax and Opie ready to kill someone over their blue balls.

Gemma knew the life and what happened on the road stayed there but from the day they met he knew she was a woman who didn't deserve that. His son was in the same boat, Tara was someone who took a lot of shit from everyone about her relationship with Jax, from the day they started dating. Everyone told her he would cheat because that's "the life" and what happened in it. She told him straight out she wouldn't be a girlfriend who stood their and let her boyfriend fuck other people, if they were in this they were all in and no outside plays. Henry.. Well clearly he joined them in their little boat. None of their women would deal with the cheating shit and if that's what they wanted they could happily go somewhere else while they found someone else, the guys got the point early on and they're happy they did. They wouldn't want to be anywhere else other than with the women they have now and love.

Over at the clubhouse Jax and Opie were both sitting in their chairs, agitated and in no mood to hear anyone's shit. Opie was sure he would die if they didn't hurry and get this over with, if Donna was being serious, he wouldn't get any action for another month, not to mention the wait for her to heal after, which could push it to months. He needed to get home and like he told her earlier, fuck her brains out. Jax was sitting next to him, bouncing his leg uncontrollably, when he had talked to Tara earlier she made it clear just what she wanted and he wanted the same damn thing. He wanted to be buried in her, let all the problems and his worry just wash away. Fuck the dinner, he'd convince her to bail out and go with him somewhere he could make her scream his name and no one would hear.

"Jax! Opie!" Both teenagers heads snapped up to the door to see JT smirking at them while walking to his seat. "Jesus you two, one more meeting and you can go do whatever the hell it is you want.. Or more clearly, who you want." Taking his seat he faced the guys, "You all know we still have Kohn to deal with," he saw as his son grew still and cold fury glossed over his eyes, "I told you two not to do anything without telling me after the stunt you pulled, I'm surprised you actually listened. Tomorrow is your night to do what you want to him, but he needs to stay alive."

Jax nodded at his father's words, he didn't want the bastard to live but if that's what his dad needed then he would let him live. Unless he came out and said some stupid shit again, then he'd gladly put a bullet through his head without a seconds thought about it.

"Alright, we have the Irish coming sometime this month to finish up some last minute things about the shipment, I want you two with me when they come" JT continued as he looked at Chib's and Happy.

They finished up their meeting and JT dismissed all his guys and told them to be at Gemma's by eight o'clock or she'd have their heads on a platter. Jax and Opie bum rushed the doors and ran to their bikes, "Their both at the house!" John yelled as the two of them raced out of the parking lot.

Hearing the rumble of bikes had Donna and Tara up and off the couch as fast as their bumps would let them. Gemma said she was going to get a few more things from the store which left the two of them waiting for their guys.

The door swung open and the two boys had so much determination in their eyes. Tara was instantly pinned against the wall behind it while Donna was grabbed by the wrist and practically shoved out the door, between gasps and giggles, the girls managed to say their goodbyes to each other. When the door shut Jax was back on Tara, eyes locked on hers, "I missed you baby." Tara said breathlessly, she couldn't find her voice, not when he was looking at her like that. Stalking towards her like a predator to its prey, Jax had lust in his eyes, "I missed you too babe."

TBC… Hmm what could possibly go wrong? We will see! {as for Opies name, autocorrect has a love hate relationship with it, sometimes it's Henry and others it's Harry, I'll keep a closer lookout to make sure it's right lol.}
