AUTHORS NOTE….

THIS CHAPTER HASN'T BEEN AN EASY ONE. NOTHING SEEMED TO WORK.. SO HERE IS WHAT I ENDED UP WITH. SORRY IF NOT LIKE OTHERS BUT JUST WANTED TO GET IT OUT SO I CAN MOVE ON WITH STORY.. HOPE YOU STILL ENJOY….

Sitting in her office at the centre, Tara leaning back in her chair rubbing her unborn daughter, willing her to calm down and stop using her internal organs as a punching bag. Sophie is so her fathers daughter. Giving up Tara stands up and walks over to the stereo in the corner of her office, turning it on and pressing play, knowing her daughters favourite music is loaded ready to go. Not even born yet and Sophie already has a strong love for classic rock. And not just anything, AC/DC or it's nothing. Her daughter loves the classic Aussie rockers. It always seems to calm her down. And Tara had to admit, she loves this band too. There is just something amazing about their sound. With Thunderstruck thumping out of the speakers, her daughter settles so Tara can get some paperwork done.

After finishing up the paperwork for the centre, Tara pulls out the blueprints for the extension that is being added to the centre to house the support centre for abused women and their families. The work is almost complete. They are just putting the finishing touches on the safety area. A room where abused victims can go that is hidden in case their attackers come looking for them. An if Kohn situation taught Tara anything it's that anything is possible and to prepare for the impossible. Tara signs off on all the paperwork required for completion of the project. While her unborn daughter is calm, Tara decides to start on what's required for the next few weeks for the centre and the opening of the support centre.

Getting down to work on the planning of all the classes, so all the guys knew when they are required at the centre for the next two weeks. Tara decides to add one final class to the ones available. A few self defence classes, with one especially designed for women to learn how to defend themselves. It is important to Tara that the women of charming learn to defend themselves, just like Jax taught her to do when they were 16. It may not have saved her from the psycho kohn completely but looking back it also could have been a lot worse that it was if not for Jax and his teachings. If it saves one girls life it is worth it.

The next day Tara decides to stop in and watch a little of Happy's self defence class for the girls that have been victims of domestic abuse. With all of the club members around the centre today it made Tara feel that all of the woman were safe from their abusers. Pulling up a chair at the back of the class, Tara sat down with a hand over her growing belly and relaxed, watching the progress the girls were making. Hearing a commotion at the front entrance, Tara got up and closed the door to the class as she went, walking out to the front of the reception area of the centre. On her way Tara got most of the club member to follow her. She knew if something happened to her and their unborn daughter Jax would be on a rampage. So tara got as much back up as she could. Safety for all the people in the centre is her top priority. Especially all of the women in the self defence class. They had enough trauma to last a life time. If Tara could prevent more she would do anything possible to achieve that.

Arriving at the front doors with most of the club members surrounding her Tara stopped to see what is going on. Seeing a middle aged man trying to intimidate the staff yelling abuse at anyone who would listen and getting close to the female staff to physically intimidate them that way also. Tara cleared her throat loudly to get the mans attention then in her best queen of SAMCRO authorities threatening voice addressed the man "I'm Tara Teller, my husband, Jax Teller and I along with SAMCRO run this centre. Can I help you with anything?" Suddenly realising how the situation had changed, and not in his favour, the man responds "My name is Nigel and I'm looking for my wife and kids, they have run away and I'm trying to find them, they shouldn't of left." Suddenly realising the full extent of the situation Tara turns to a few of the members. " I think his wife is the woman with the split lip, bruised face and arms that is taking class with Happy and her kids are in the safe room playing with Jax and the boys. I want two of you to go stand guard at the door of Happy's class to keep her safe and can one of you let Jax know the situation. Thanks, and I want the rest of you to stay with me and to be ready to show this guy out in a minute, once we have had a little chat."

As Tig and Phil made their way towards Happy's class, Tara takes a deep breath then approaches Nigel with the club members surrounding her. "Your wife and children have come to us because you are abusing them, we as a club don't stand for such treatment of people, so this is what you are going to do. You are going to take your violent ass out of my centre, if you need help finding the door, these nice gentlemen are more than wiling to help. You are going to get into your cage and drive away. I have become friends with your wife Amber and my boys love playing with your girls. I consider them to be family, and as so SAMCRO is their family. And the members of SAMCRO will do anything to protect their own.

You need to leave Amber and the girls alone. Divorce and custody papers will be served to you today, tomorrow at the latest and you will not fight them. They are moving on to a safe place where they can be happy."

Knowing that this is not going to go over well Tara steps back from Nigel, and just as the club surrounds her to keep her out of the line of fire, he erupts in a fit of rage.. Swinging at anyone within arms reach. With three of the club restraining him, Nigel is removed from the centre and taken out to the parking lot..

With the members in the parking lot with Nigel, Tara makes her way back to Happy's class, signalling to happy to wind the class up. While Happy is finishing with the rest of the class, Tara seeks out Amber. "I have some bad news Amber, we have to move up relocation of you and the girls. Nigel showed up and made a scene. Happy is going to transport you and the girls tonight and stay with you until you are settled. And before you say anything, you should know Happy loves you like a sister, and so do I. We will do anything for family. I know what you are going through. I had an ex, Kohn, who wouldn't take no for an answer when we split, he stalked me, attempted to rape me, and the violence I suffered from was horrible. I had to do most of it alone until I came home to Charming. Home to Jax. I got though it, but I couldn't do it alone and neither can you. Let us help. We will always be family. You just need to call." Both with tears in their eyes, Tara and Amber embrace. Noticing Jax coming out of the safe room, Tara waves him over.

"Baby we need to move up Ambers relocation, Nigel showed up looking for them. Happy needs to take them tonight." Totally agreeing with that Jax just nodes his head and replies "yes baby" and with that Jax makes his way over to Happy to finalise the transport and protection for the run tonight. Taking Amber into the safety room to spend time with her boys, Amber and the girls, Tara can't help but feel sad that she is losing a sister. Someone that she felt fit with her and her crazy SAMCRO family. Both her and Donna had spent a lot of time together with all of their kids in the short time they knew each other. And with that Tara decided to make the rest of the day count. Playing with the kids, laughing and lots of ice-cream before it was time for Happy to take them of to start their new life of safety and happiness.
