11.
Sara stayed with Thomas as Abel and Jax had to take care of things. She knew she wasn't happy about what he had to do but she also realized the pain and suffering that his grandmother had put Jax, Abel and Thomas in. Also to know that the woman she had heard so much about from her grandmother was murdered by Abel's grandmother made her want revenge too.
"So are you okay with this?" Thomas asked as he finally spoke after watching Sara.
"I have to be." she said.
"I hate that I can't be a part of this. But since I'm the one who shot Gemma, Dad and Abel won't let me."
"You shot Gemma?" she asked surprised because that was the one thing Abel didn't tell her.
"Yeah, I'm not surprised that Abel didn't tell you. He told me it was up to me if I wanted you to know. I am glad you decided to give my brother another chance."
She smiled up at him. "Me too." she said.
"I wish I had gotten to know my mom better. I don't remember too much about her and Gemma managed to erase all I had remembered with bullshit lies."
"I'm sorry." Sara said.
"Well now I feel like I get to see a side of my mother through you." he said smiling at her.
"I have a bunch of pictures at the house and I can tell you the things I heard, but I never got to know her."
"Yeah, dad was always looking at pictures of my mom. I was always so angry thinking that she had messed with my dad's head so badly and that was why he never said anything bad about her."
"You just need to talk to Abel and your dad about her Thomas. I'm sure some memories will come back. I know you were young, maybe too young. But they can give you their memories, I think that will help you."
"Yeah, maybe." he said as he sat there closing his eyes trying to picture his mom in his head.
They sat there quietly for a long time and then they heard the bikes pull in. Looking at each other Sara and Thomas stood up to greet them when they came in.
"You okay?" Sara asked Abel as she hugged him.
"Yeah, I feel relief." he said.
She nodded her head at him and then Thomas walked up and hugged his brother. "I'm so sorry Abel."
"Hey, don't be. You didn't know." Abel said.
Jax watched his sons and he felt relief that they might actually get through all of this.
"Hey, I'm going to fix something for us to eat. Why don't you three go talk." Sara said smiling at them.
They all looked at her and smiled. "Yeah, we should do that." Jax finally said.
Sara walked into the kitchen to cook, smiling to herself she felt like it was a first step for them to recover.
Gemma was finally being released from the hospital only to be taken into custody by the Sheriff. Once they had her booked in she sat down in her cell and went over everything that happened.
"I will get my family back. I don't know why after all these years you decide to wreak havoc again in my life Tara."
The guard walking by was use to some talking to themselves. He just kept walking by.
Gemma felt somewhat safe that she was in solitaire at the time. She hoped this is where she would stay. This morning though changed things. The guards came and told her to roll everything up. She didn't really have anything but the thin blanket and pillow they had given her. She thought maybe she was getting released until they put her in the general population. She turned back to the guard. "I can't be here. They will kill me."
"Naw, not yet." the guard said giving her a sick smile. He shoved her into the holding area and locked the door.
"Ooo lala, look what we have here ladies." she heard from across the room. She knew she was going to have to stand up for herself. She knew how to do that and didn't feel timid at all. She had to be the bigger badass.
"Leave me alone if you know what's best for you." Gemma said to the woman.
"Oh, she's bad." The same inmate said mocking her and the rest started laughing.
Gemma turned her back on her and that was a mistake she wouldn't do again. Before she knew what was happening she was being beaten. She looked at the guard standing watch and seen he had his head turned and it looked like on purpose. She did her best to defend herself but eventually she couldn't take anymore and was balled up on the floor crying.
"Okay, let her up." she barely heard before she was out like a light.
The next day she woke up in the infirmary. "What the hell?" she asked and then it all came back. She rolled over in the bed.
"You're awake?" she heard.
She raised her head up and if the doctor hadn't already seen her it would have shocked him. He had never seen a face that messed up before. "You need to get up. You have to go back to gen pop."
"Please no." she begged.
"Sorry, that's the way it goes." he said not feeling sorry for any criminal.
She bucked up and walked through the doors to the medical facility, knowing she was going to be seeing this place again.
"He did it." Chibs said to Jax that next day.
"Yeah?"
"Yeah and from what I understand the first one was really bad."
"Good. So I guess he lives. How long before his court case comes up?"
"Another couple of weeks and he will probably get six months for the assault with deadly weapon."
"Yeah, that's good." Jax said.
"Anything else we can do fer ya" Chibs asked.
"Not right now. It all fell into place. I just wish I had of known this so long ago. So many important people have left our lives Chibs."
"Yeah, but ya got yer boys, Jackie."
"Yeah, I do." Jax said smiling as he walked away.
"Sara, I know we are still kind of young but I don't want to waste my time like my dad and Tara did. I want you to be mine always and I hope you feel the same."
"What are you saying Abel, I am yours."
"I want you to be my wife, Sara."
She looked up at him and realized she wanted the same and besides with everything else hopefully it would bring some joy to the club.
"I want that too Abel. I would love to be your wife."
He picked her up and swung her around kissing her the whole time.
Thomas looked on at them and smiled he knew his mother would have been excited about this. He turned and left. He needed to go and talk to his mother for awhile. Then before he knew it he was sitting in front of his mother's grave for the first time in a very very long time.
