A/N: This is a shorter update than usual. I'll try to get another one out to you this week. As always reviews are appreciated :)

Tara wasn't sure what was happening in the meeting Gemma called with the members, Opie, and Jax but she felt nervous and she coudn't figure out why she felt that way. She never took her eyes off the church door, not even when Donna sat down beside her.

"What do you think is going on?" Donna asked, her eyes also on the door.

"No idea. Probably something about Gemma that they didn't wanna tell everyone." Tara replied, feeling uneasy.

Both girls stood up when the door finally opened, the members came out first and they both gasped when they finally saw their boys.

Tara blinked several times, trying to clear the image in front of her. Jax was a patched member? How was this possible?

Jax spun around in front of her, proud of the kutte he was now the owner of. "What'd ya think babe?" He was beaming.

"You're a member? How?" Tara asked, still stunned, eyes wide.

"They said it was our legacy so no point in making us be prospects. I think they did it for Ma, mainly. It's all she's ever dreamed of, the day I became a member of Samcro. I guess they were just making sure she got to see it before, well you know." His words trailed off again, but his smile never faltered.

Gemma was behind this? Tara began to wonder if the cancer story was even real. She hated herself for thinking that but the timing was off. Jax talks about not prospecting and leaving with her in a few years and all of a sudden Gemma's dying from cancer and Jax becomes a patched member in just a few days from the time he was talking about not prospecting.

"Well what'd ya think?" Jax asked, interrupting her thoughts.

"You look great baby, congratulations." Tara smiled at him and pulled him in for a hug.

"You and me babe, this place is going to be ours one day." Jax spun her around, he was so excited. He was also thrilled that Tara was taking it better than he was expecting.

Samcro threw a party to welcome it's two newest members, which gave Tara the perfect opportunity to observe.

She watched Gemma closely, noticing how before all of this she was tired, run down, acting like she was barely going and now that Jax is patched in she's back to her normal self. A little to convenient. She couldn't shake the thought of Gemma lying to get her way, she knew how manipulative Gemma Teller-Morrow could be.

Tara was determined to get to the bottom of this but she had to be smart about it. She had to outsmart the matriarch, because if she's wrong and Gemma really is dying of cancer then Jax will never forgive her for betraying his mother. If she's right she will have to figure out the right way to bring it all to light.

"Can you believe it Tara? Our Jax is a member." Gemma said kissing Tara on the cheek.

"Yeah, I'm so happy for him. He deserves this." Tara faked a smile, she had to play the part of the perfect old lady and not let her detect there was any suspicion.

"You'll make a great old lady Tara, I'm so happy he has you." Gemma squeezed her hand and left to stand by Clay.

"I sure hope so." Tara muttered under her breath.

"You ready for the crow?" Jax whispered in Tara's ear.

"Actually, I'm not feeling well, I think I'm going to go home and rest." Tara answered.

"What's wrong baby?" He asked, concern feeling his voice.

"I'm okay, just feeling a little nauseous. My dad had it yesterday, I'm sure it'll pass by tomorrow." She lied.

"I'll come with you." He responded, taking her hand.

"Baby, this party is for you and Op. Stay and enjoy it. I'll be okay." She kissed him swiftly.

"Okay, I'll stop by later then, I love you babe."

Tara called every hospital within a hundred mile radius looking for information on Gemma, finally found one who said she couldn't give out any patient details. Every other hospital had said they had no record of a Gemma Morrow. This must be the one. Now she just had to find a way to get a copy of the all of the original results. That was easier said than done.

Tara knew this would take awhile if she was going to be smart about it. It couldn't be rushed. If Gemma was lying then she would take every measure possible to make sure her secret was safe. Tara could let it go, the truth would come out in the end, Gemma can't fake the symptoms of cancer for very long. Eventually the lack of side effects would start to show if people would be smart enough to notice.

What if she is telling the truth though and Tara spent all of this time trying to prove Gemma was lying she knew she would hate herself later for wasting all of their time together.

Was this a chance she really wanted to take? Prove Gemma's lying and make Jax see the truth or risk someone finding out Tara's trying to catch Gemma in a lie and Jax hate her for the rest of her life and lose the only mother she has left?
