Her gasp only had me nodding my head. I was just as surprised as she was. Not even in my wildest dreams could I have pictured this and been given all this information.

"Holy shit" she sounds just as shocked as I feel. "It makes sense, it all fits" she says a few moments later and I look at her curiously. "When I was a kid JT was always coming and going. They just said he was taking care of somethings. As a kid I used to think he was some sort of secret agent" She smiled at the memory but replaced it with a frown soon after "I never imagined he would be going to take care of a family" she shook her head and i scoffed.

"He didn't take care of us. He left us. He was playing 3 different men. The person I knew just doesn't exists anymore" I closed her photo album and threw it on the bed. Now I was pissed, I was upset when he left but I was hoping for some explanation but now knowing that he was here and that I have a sister and he might be raising her without even glancing back at the Sons he left is even more upsetting.

"I'm sorry, Jax" Tara pulled me into a hug and ran her hands up and down my back. "I wish I could answer the questions I know is going threw your mind. Truth is I have some of my own"

Wrapping my arms around her I pull her on closer and hold her tight. She's comforting at a time like this and it's kind of shocking to me how well she can calm me down. "I don't know what to do" I admit.

"Take it one step at a time" she tells me and pull away slight so she can look up at me "first I think you should just take the time to wrap your mind around everything before we decide to do anything"

"We?" I question.

"You didn't think I would let you do this alone did you?" She asks affronted and I laugh.

"I guess not"

leaning up on her tip toes she presses her lips to mine for a short kiss. "Come lay down with me" she tugged on my hand as she kicked off my shoes and I wordlessly followed her actions. This would be the first time we were actually in a bed together and the only thing I could think about was how she knows my father better than I do. I don't blame her or resent her, it wasn't her fault at all things just happened. I would have to tell Thomas first and then we could confront our mother and find out what the hell she knew about all of this. Someone had to be playing a complicated game and I had a feeling my mother was the game maker. "What are you thinking about?" Tara pulled me out of my thoughts as she curled up against my side and rested her head on my chest.

"Trying to figure out if my mom could have known about any of this" I run my fingers threw her silky hair it's oddly calming and the anger I had before is slowly disappearing. "It would be seriously fucked up if she did" and really fucking stupid if she brought us here and didn't tell us a damn thing about my father starting the place.

"I don't know, Jax. Would she really put you and Thomas through that?"

"I really really want to say no, Tara. Truth is, I don't know what my mother is capable of" my hands stop running through her hair so I can run my hands over my face. I have so much frustration building, To many unanswered questions. I don't know what to do or who I can talk to.

"Hey at least theirs a bright side" she tells me as she leans up and looks at me, once again distraction me from my thoughts.

"A bright side?"

"Yes, A bright side." She smiles and moves to straddle my hips.

"I'm liking this bright side already" Smirking at her I hold on to her hips so she can't go anywhere. If this is her way to cheer me up, she will get no objections from me.

"Shut up!" She swats at my chest playfully and "Think about it. Your John Tellers son. I'm his best friends daughter"

"I'm not following" what was she getting at?

"We would have met anyway you spin it" she finally says and smiles down at me "Think that means something?"

I smirk at her and bring her down flush against me so I can roll us over. "I think it means that you would've been mine either way"

Smiling she reaches up and runs her hands threw my hair "make me yours, Jax" she says suddenly.

Kissing her lips I whisper against them "You are mine"

"I mean officially" that has me snapping my head up so I can stare into her eyes. "I don't care if we barley know each other. I don't care that we should wait till we know each other better. I can't help the way I feel when I'm with you. So make me yours officially" she demands and I smile nodding.

"Sure thing, baby"

"Now seal it with a kiss" she demands again and I oblige pressing my lips to her waiting ones.

...Sealed...With...A...Kiss...

Jax and I had decided along time ago that we weren't going to school today and that was way after we decided he should sleep over just so he could avoid his mother. He expressed he didn't know how to face her and I didn't blame him. I was trying to figure out how I should approach my father about it. Did he know about Jax Thomas and Gemma? Was there ulterior motives for them being here? I had questions running by the mile in my head and I just couldn't turn them off.

It was around 6Am when I heard my father come home. Jax was asleep beside me, his arm was draped over me as he held me tight against him. We didn't go farther than kissing but I wanted to. He was the one that stopped it saying we should wait, he said it should be special and having sex after finding out some shit about his family was not special enough for me. He was right though and I wasn't ready. Even if I thought he was being full of shit.

Listening to Jaxs soft snore puts a smile on my face. He looks relaxed and at ease which is better than what he was a couple of hours ago. Kissing his lips gently I untangle myself from him and get out of bed. In our heated little make out session, Jax managed to get me down to just my underwear and I managed to get him down to his. Which is how I figured there was something more to this, not going farther thing, he had to have other reasons but I wouldn't push him.

Grabbing his tshirt I threw it on with a pair of yoga pants before heading down stairs. I found my dad sitting in front of the TV with a tequila bottle in hand.

"Hey daddy" I walk into living room and announce myself.

"Hey princess" he smiles and then looks at me curiously "Why are you wearing your brothers shirt?" He asks and I laugh as I sit next to him.

"I'm not wearing his shirt I'm wearing Jaxs"

His eyebrows knit together "why are you wearing Jaxs shirt?"

"Cause he's my boyfriend, dad." I tell him as if it's a valid excuse.

"That's not a very legitimate reason and be carful with that boy, Tara. I'm not to sure about him" he says before taking a sip out of his bottle of tequila.

"Would you like him better if I told you he was John Tellers son?" I ask then eye him carefully for any indication that he might know what I'm talking about. Suddenly, the tequila he was supposed to swallow spray out of his mouth and he stands up as he looks down at me.

"He's who?!" His eyes are nearly bug out of his head. He's in disbelief and I'm glad. I'm glad because it means he didn't know. I'm glad because he didn't bring them here with an ill intent but just because he didn't doesn't mean that clay wouldn't.

"I brought him here and I was showing him pictures of the first 9 and of my god father. Starting asking a bunch of questions about John. Then revealed to me that John, my god father, your best friend, is his father."

He sinks down next to me and takes a bigger swing of his tequila. I can tell his mind is racing and I can't blame him. Mine was going just as fast when I learned the news.

"That son of a bitch" my father started to laugh and shook his head. "That slimy good for nothing son of a bitch"

"What's going on dad?"

He looked at me and searched my face for a moment before taking a deep breath and kissing my forehead. "When we first started the first 9. We made a pact or a rule I guess. It stated that as long as you had an heir for the chair you would remain president. John as far as we knew never had one. Clay wanted to enforce our heir rule but he didn't have one either. I had Opie but I didn't want to push John out of the chair. He was a good president. Didn't get us into no shit, kept the money coming in. We were strong he started to go away a lot and I didn't question it because he was always here for the important shit." He sat back into his seat and closed his eyes as if reliving everything "He pulled me to the side one day and told me about his family. Both of them. Belfast and the one he had in Chicago. He started to slip up a lot, he was stressed out you know. Didn't know how he got himself into situations started agreeing to different shit for the club. We all saw it. It was bad. Clay wanted to do a vote for change of leadership and when we didn't a lot of shit started to happen. John bike wouldn't work, he was in an ambush, someone tried to attack him. One thing after the other" I listened intently. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "John came to me one night. Told me he couldn't do it any more. Said he need to leave before he turned up dead or someone found out about his his kids and killed one of them. So we..." he trailed off.

"So you faked his death" I finished for him. I've known it for along time. There was no way JT would have died the way he said he did. "And you became president because Opie was the next first 9 child heir to the presidents patch"

He only nodded and I sighed, everything just got so much more complicated.

"I'm assuming your going to tell Jax about this"

"I have to dad. I can't lie to him about something that directly affects him"

"Your right" he stands up and pulls me with him "if he has any questions tell him to come find me and tell him to keep quiet about what your going to tell him. clay is marrying his mom and if I'm right he's only doing it because it'll get him closer to the chair. Him being Jaxs step father gives him the advantage cause he has the next heir. Blood related or not, That's still his family and that's the rules of the first 9" giving me a tight hug he kisses my forehead and walks toward the stairs. "Good night princess"

"Dad wait" I call out and he stops and looks at me "where is uncle JT now?"

He gives me a sad smile and shrugs "I don't know, baby. I wish I did though" and with that he walks upstairs and I sit back down on the couch, Tequila in hand and thoughts running threw my mind. I was on Information over load. I didn't expect my dad to come clean about all of that but I was glad he did. It meant that he trusted me and that was something I was grateful for.

Taking a sip I The tequila I head back upstairs and climb back in next to Jax. I scoot in close to him and he pulls me in close. I didn't know how to tell him everything I just found out but I would.

Tonight though I'll be happy sleeping next to the boy I was quickly falling for and Tomorrow Id begin to fight a battle with him.
