NLLO CH 11
"She said yes" Jax announced happily! His brothers clapped him on the back and roared in celebration. Clay hugged his step son, "bout time we had some good news!" Jax grinned & seated himself at Clay's side.
Tara was at home, Abel on her lap, she had decided to keep him home, at least until this situation with Kohn had been resolved, She heard the rumble of bikes turn into the drive and sprang to her feet, picking up Abel. Jax had apparently tightened security, not only were there a few more prospects but this was the third group today. She opened the door and Abel came tearing out and Juice (who'd just climbed off his Harley) swung him up into the air! "Hey there's my buddy!" Juice, followed by Philthy Phil, Rat, and a few other prospects handed Abel back to Tara and pecked her on the cheek. "Hey i just wanted to make sure you know that your safe. We love you, you're our family!" Tara smiled "Thanks Juice can i get you guys some breakast." Juice told her they didn't want to impose but Tara insisted that it wouldn't be any bother. Her only conditon was that they took of their boots before stepping on her new carpet.
So while she made bacon, eggs and coffee, Abel played with his friends in the living room, when Tara broguht out the food Abel was sitting on Juice's shoulders and giggling as he pulled his hair. Tara took Abel and handed Juice a steaming cup of coffee. Then excused herself to put Abel down for his morning nap.
"Mommy" Abel asked, sitting up in bed. "Yeah baby?" she asked. "Are we ok?" She smiled, and kissed him on the forehead "Yeah baby we're ok."
She shut his door and returned to the living room. Juice and the rest of his crew were pulling on there boots. "Thanks for breakfast Tara" Juice said pecking her on the cheek. "No problem" she smiled. While the rest of the prospects thanked Tara. Juice a last sweep of the property. He assured her that the next group would come round in about 45 minutes. "And don;t worry Lyla and Cherry are gonna take care of Abel while you and Jax are at the baby doctor later. We'll personally escort him to the clubhouse" Tara nodded, glad that Abel would be somewhere secure with people who loved him.
She let Abel sleep for a few hours, her protection details came and went. She even managed to get a nap herself.
In the dream she had gone into labor, Jax was holding her hand, telling her to push, it was difficult but at last she had brought a squirming, squealing, baby boy into the world, a boy, just as Jax had predicted. Her tear filled came up to meet Jax's. But they were not the eyes of the man she loved. her mouth opened in horror as he reached down to stroke the head of the newborn in her arms. "He's beautiful... beautiful"
Someone was shaking her awake. "Tara, wake up luv" she opened her eyes to see Chibbs staring at her, a look of fear on his face. She sat up and found a group of prospects staring at her, all packing heat. "Wha-what happened?" Chibbs looked at her anxiously. "We stopped by to check on you and heard screaming, sorry about the door by the way." She looked over to see the front door hanging on it's hinges.
Tara looked around. One of the prospects was holding a crying Abel, the others were are staring at her nervously. It was then that she broke down in tears, Chibbs pulled her into a fatherly embrace. 'I know luv, i know"
