CHAPTER 12
When Jacks pulled into the drive and saw the busted-down door, he felt the fear rise in his throat. He jumped off the bike and raced into the house, his hand going to the gun he kept in his jacket. "TARA, ABEL?!" But it wasn't Kohn he found with his fiancé but Chibs. "It's alright Jackie-Boy she's fine!" Chibs managed to explain what had just happened.
"Oh baby" Jax said sitting down and taking Tara in his arms. '"Are you ok?" Tara nodded and pulled him closer; "Yeah I'm fine, now that you're here." He pressed a kiss to her forehead as one of the prospects handed him Abel, who almost immediately crawled over to Tara. She took him in her arms and reassured him she was fine while Jax and Chibs did a sweep of the house. "Tara babe we gotta go, you're appointment's in 30 minutes." Tara grudgingly handed Abel to his Uncle Chibs." "Hey" Jax said stroking her cheek, if your too stressed I can call and reschedule. " Tara managed a week smile "No it's fine, I'll feel better I know the baby's ok." Jax nodded. "It'll be over soon, Then dinner at the clubhouse, take this little guy home, and have an early night, sound good?' Tara smiled and pecked him on the lips "perfect." "And Chibs." "Yeah luv?" "I don't care how many seatbelts you can sew on to that death trap of yours, my son is not going to be a biker at 3!"
"Don't worry, we'll make sure the little man gets there ok." Tara gave him a look. He just grinned "look I promise, luv no top rocker until he's 10." After a quick peck on the cheek from Tara, Chibs, Abel, and the rest of the prospects piled in the Piney's van and headed off the clubhouse
They made it just in time for their appointment. As they got her prepped for the ultrasound Tara flinched at the coldness of the goop they poured on her stomach, Jax gave her a teasing smile and kept a hold on her hand. She smiled up at him, thinking about how amazing he was being. He'd promised to never miss an appointment, and was upholding that promise. He was so wonderful, attentive, and was already such a great father.
After the ultrasound, Dr. Li excused herself to go get the heart specialist (due to the family flaw) Jax was nervous but not nearly as nervous as his old lady. So he tried to help pass the time by discussing names, which he was glad to see, brought an easy smile to her face. Jax wanted "Thomas" for his brother if it was (and would most certainly be) a boy. Tara agreed but stubbornly remained optimistic. Before they cold continue their little argument, the door swung open.
Dr. Li had retuned with a tall, smiling woman in her late 40's whom she introduced as " ." 'This is Tara Knowles and her-" "Fiancé" Tara beamed, eager to spread the news. She held out her hand where the ring gleamed. "Congratulations" Dr. Li said admiring the ring. "Gorgeous, your fiancé has taste Ms. Knowles."
observed. "Jackson Teller" Jax introduced himself, shaking the woman's hand. "Congratulations " she said politely.
The meeting went quickly. Fortunately the baby's heart was fine, and so far there was nothing to worry about. Tara's next appointment was in a week, but until then she was told to take it easy and relax, Jax promised to make sure she got plenty of rest. There was no way he was going to let anything happen to Tara or the baby.
When the doctors had gone, Jax bent down and kissed her on the forehead. "Did you here that babe? Perfectly healthy! I make pretty good kids don't I?" Tara just laughed and swatted at him. "The very best" she agreed, kissing him again. "Come on let's get out of here"

When they pulled up at the clubhouse, the party was in full swing. Tara spotted Abel on the slide, closely monitored by Cherry. & Lyla However, the minute he caught sight of his parents, he slid down the slide and raced over to them. "Mommy Mommy!" Tara laughed, picked him up and planted a kiss on each cheek. "Hi baby!" she grinned. "Did you miss us?" Abel nodded, as Jax scooped him up. "Daddy!" Abel cheered, pulling on his beard. Jax smiled, "Hey, you little monster!" Abel laughed. "Daddy come swing with me!" Jax rolled his eyes, pecked Tara on the cheek and let Abel pull him over to the swing sets. Tara laughed as Cherry and Lyla hurried over and engulfed her in a concerned hug. "We heard what happened?" Cherry said "Are you ok hun?" Tara smiled. "Yeah I'm fine. We just came from the doctor, the baby's heart is perfectly healthy!" "Oh thank god" Lyla smiled "We were worried." Cherry nodded in agreement.
"Hey I think Gemma may need a little help in the kitchen, you coming?" asked Cherry. Tara looked over at the play "Don't worry," Lyla smiled, "They'll be fine plus he's with Jax." Tara breathed a sigh of relief. They were right, Jax was right there, nothing could happen. She was just being paranoid. She followed the girls inside, ready to enjoy an evening with her family.

"Tar-Tar must be so miserable" he thought to himself as he turned down the street to the house. Who knew what Teller had done to her by now, He parked the car across the street, got out his camera. He needed a few new pictures for the baby album he was currently working on. Maybe she'd come to the window again like she had that night, when she'd missed him so much that she'd cried in the kitchen. She had no idea how much it hurt him to see her in so much pain.
Finally he couldn't stand it anymore. Just as he was going to open the car door. The roar of motorcycle engines met his ears. SAMCRO. As he hastily started the car, he realized that Teller had figured it out, Teller knew he was back and was now doing everything to keep Joshie and Tar-Tar apart, trying to break up the family they were going to have. Well he wasn't going to let that happen. How relieved Tara would be when she heard her white night was coming to rescue her, of course Teller wouldn't have told her. But she must know, Tara was smart, so very smart. Which was one of the many things he loved about her.
But now he had to get out of here. The leather-clad riders caught sight of the black car as Josh pulled out and sped off down the street. He hadn't noticed that one of the bikers had raised their phone and snapped a picture of his license plate, all he cared about was Tara, and how he was going to get her out of this hell-hole.

Jax was awakened by the sound of crying coming from the other side of the bed. He awoke and sat up. Next to him Tara was thrashing and begging. "No-Jax-please-Abel! NO! OH GOD PLEASE-NO" Jax grabbed her in his arms and held her to him "Tara wake up, come on babe, wake up." The spasms stopped, as did the begging. Tara awoke, her great dark eyes shining. Confused she looked questioningly. She was silent for a while, and then the memories of her dream came flashing back.
She began to shake with fear and broke down in his arms. He held and kissed her, managing to lie back on to the pillows, so that her face in his neck, his arms wrapped around her protectively. "Shh babe, it's ok. I'm here, I'm here." She told him about her dream how Kohn had killed Jax and was about to kill Abel. "It was awful," she sobbed. Jax sat up suddenly, taking her face in his hands. "Sorry to disappoint you babe, but I'm gonna be here long after that son of bitch is rotting in the ground. I'm here and I'm always gonna be here. I'm not going anywhere and neither is Abel. Nobody is going to hurt this family. We're going to be happy. We're going to raise out kids and grow old together." She nodded as he kissed her firmly. 'I love you too much to go anywhere."
He pulled of his button down and wrapped it around her quaking shoulders, then settled back down, She rested her head and felt security envelope her. She knew that as long as she had Jax, no harm could ever come to her, that no matter how hard Kohn tried, he would never have her. Jax would keep them safe; he always had and always would. Just being next to him gave her the feeling that she was untouchable.
THAT SHE WAS SAFE
