Chapter 10 Gemma's Rage.
Jax woke up with his arms wrapped around his beautiful wife, he grinned at being able to finally say that, his arms tightening around her, she turned around in his arms, her face buried into his bare chest, he leaned down and submerged his nose in her hair, before falling asleep again.
"Jax, Jax come on baby wake up, wake up" Amora said softly as she tried to wake him but he just grumbled and turned over, she sighed before leaning down to his ear.
"Jax, oh Jax wake up" she said in a breathy voice, she grinned when he rolled over and pulled her to him.
"Jax as much as I would love to and Oh god I would love to, your mom called and said that Abel has been very fussy and she's been up with him all night" she said as she pulled back from their kiss, he pouted causing her to giggle.
"Alright"he groaned as he got up to get dressed, she watched as he walked over to the bathroom, as he did she text Donna telling her that they had to leave, that if they wanted to ride back with them they had to hurry up, she got a reply instantly saying they would be ready in ten minutes.
"Alright baby, I'm ready but it seems like you aren't" he laughed as he spied her laying down on the bed in her bra and panties, she smiled up at him as she jumped out of the bed and pulled on her jeans and one of his sweatshirts that she had taken a liking to.
They met the Winston's outside the hotel and together the four of them headed on the 8 hour long drive back to Charming, the two couples were just those two young couples out for a ride, they didn't have any obligations as they rode.
They reached the club where Gemma said that she and Abel were, as soon as they stopped they knew that Gemma was in a foul mood and that it would only get worse once she found out about them getting married, Clay was looking at them in sympathy while some of the guys were laughing, Amora could hear Abel's crying and instantly left Jax's side to go to their son.
"There you are god the kid won't shut up" Gemma growled and then hissed when Amora took him he stopped crying and buried his head in her neck, she smiled and shushed him.
"It's alright baby Mama is here, sorry Gem" she said to her mother in law, but she could see Gemma looking at the oddly, panicking she walked out to Jax who was talking to Clay, she could feel Gemma following her and scrutinizing her and it was freaking her out.
"Hey baby, Abel have you been giving Granma a hard time" Jax asked as he took his son from Amora, Gemma watched them, she looked between the two of them.
"You both slept together, Jax you said you would wait till you got married" she exclaimed, Amora looked down as Jax smirked and shrugged, Gemma's eyes narrowed even more before hissing.
"That's where you went, you went and got married without us" Gemma snarled, she knew that Jax wouldn't do that and it must have been Amora's idea, turning on the younger girl who was next to her,she viciously slapped her across the face, Jax handed Abel to Clay as he helped his wife up.
"What the fuck Ma" he hissed as he placed a hand on Amora's cheek, his wife was crying silently, he knew she didn't want to upset Abel.
"That bitch got you to marry her without having any of us there" she growled, Jax shook his head in exasperation at his mother.
"I wanted it, she wants to have another wedding that you can control what happens" Jax said, Amora looked over to see the baby watching them with wide eyes, wiping her eyes she walked over to Clay, she took the baby from him and held him tightly and walked over to her car that had been left at the lot, she couldn't stand the looks that Gemma was giving her,she never wanted to hurt her,she was like a mother to her and in all honestly if her real mother had hit her it wouldn't have hurt as much as it did with Gemma.
That night Amora stood in the door way looking in as Abel slept, Jax had to stay at the club because they needed to get work done, she was alone all evening and she had been crying since she got home, she could feel that life was going to change now, sure she was happy to be married to Jax but she knew she had lost Gemma.
Jax got home late that night and he found Amora sitting on the rocking chair in Abel's bedroom, he knew that she was really upset with what had happened and not because Gemma slapped her but the fact that Gemma was upset with her, his heart went out for her and he walked over to her simply lifted her up and brought her to the bedroom, he took care of her, stripping her of her clothes and putting on one of his shirts, before he climbed into the bed and held her as she cried till she fell asleep.
For weeks Amora would drop Abel off to spend some time with his grandmother while she went to visit her father, she had asked Jax to be outside the club so she didn't have to meet up with Gemma, Gemma didn't seem to care, she still bitched and complained about her daughter in law but Amora would just act like nothing happened, she lived her life with her husband, she didn't complain, didn't bitch, she lived for her boys and you could see it, she had also started business classes online to keep her preoccupied.
Jax was worried though, she had refused to come to any of the clubs parties, telling him to enjoy himself but he couldn't as he worried about her, he told her she was going that night, that Donna was going to take Abel as she and Opie weren't going to the party, he told her to dress up and be ready for him, and she did what she was told, she didn't want to upset Jax.
Dressed in a pair of skinny jeans and a tank top she pulled on her leather jacket and boots as Jax walked into the house, she smiled up at him causing him to grin.
"Mmmm you look great baby" he said as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into a kiss, tonight the Tacoma charter were visiting and that meant that it was going to be a bigger than normal Friday night at the club, he had told her that Tig and Kozic were fighting in the ring and Happy was looking forward to seeing her.
When they got to the club she kept hold of his hand tightly, he understood that she was wary of his mother and so he didn't say anything, he was only too happy to keep her close. He spotted Happy and Kozic over by the bar; smiling at his wife he led her in that direction.
"Hap" she said softly, the man in question smiled at her and pulled her into a hug, he hadn't seen her in two weeks, sure he was upset he wasn't at the wedding but he knew she was happy and that was all that mattered, pressing a kiss to her forehead he pulled back, she immediately went back to Jax's side, it was like time ha rewound and she was that little skittish thing she was when she arrived, he was cursing Gemma and her overbearing nature.
It was plainly obvious that Amora had somehow gotten on Gemma's bad side, not many knew how and to the sweet butts they were only waiting to see it got worse and effected hers and Jax's relationship but they were going to be disappointed, the couple were as strong as they ever had been and nothing was going to change that.
Gemma watched from the bar from beside Clay, she didn't hate the younger woman at all she was just hurt at the thought that they had let her out of their wedding, but Amora showed that she was so much better than Gemma herself as she never once stopped Gemma from seeing Abel, she didn't fight, she stayed away from the club and Gemma knew that it was hurting Jax and was glad that the younger woman had come tonight, but she wasn't going to approach her her,she would wait until Jax brought her to the family dinner that would be held the following day and everyone who mattered would see her apologise to the younger woman.
That night Amora and Jax danced, laughed, watched the boxing match, drank and had just fun, she smiled most of the time and Jax was glad to see her smile again, it was few and far between that she actually smiled or laughed and he knew it was down to his mother's actions but he hoped that it would all change, he physically hurt when she was in pain.
Amora was still getting used to having sex, Jax was an incredible lover, he treated her with such passion, he thought her anything she wanted to know, he had been surprised when only a week into her being sexually active that she asked him to teach her how to please him, she wanted to give him a blow job, something he found out she was a natural and she didn't have a gag reflex, he thanked God daily for that because it had become her way of waking him up.
When they got home they fell into bed in frenzy, much more than always because they didn't have to worry about Abel interrupting them, Jax was only too glad to take it slow, to make his wife feel all the pleasure he could give her.
Amora would always get lost in him, she would always feel every bit of emotion he was feeling when they were having sex, Hell she always knew what he wanted before he ever voiced it, and she was the perfect Old Lady.
Gemma had collected Abel from Donna and Opie's house, she had called Jax and to say her son wasn't happy about it would say one thing, he cursed her for going over his head, Abel was his and Amora's son and she can't just decide to do things her way when it came to him.
But he agreed to let her have him for the day and that he and Amora would collect him at the family dinner, so that meant that he and Amora had the day to themselves, a factor that he took into account when he watched his wife cook breakfast in his t-shirt, he was still amazed that she was his and that they were solid.
"Ma took Abel for the day, we gotta go to the dinner tonight" he told her as she placed a plate of bacon and eggs in front of him, she sighed as she got her own one.
"I suppose, I just don't want to cause any trouble" she said, Jax nodded with a smile.
"You don't have to worry about it Baby, she will keep herself in check" he told her, she nodded
Later that day Amora drove behind Jax towards his mother's house, she had made Jax's favourite dessert Vanilla Chocolate Chip Muffins, she smiled up at her husband when he opened the door and helped her out of the driver's side of the car.
"Mmmm, you sure I can't have one now" he asked as he took the container of muffins, Amora smiled and shook her head.
"Not till after dinner" she said with a smile, Jax opened the door, Amora tensed beside him, he wished his mother would get over it, he hated seeing Amora so wound up.
"Hey Jax, look Abel Mama's here" Gemma said as she stepped forward and surprisingly pressed a kiss to Amora's cheek as she handed over the little boy, Jax sighed when he saw Amora relax, it was clear that all was forgiven, though he knew Amora really didn't need to be forgiven, Amora smiled at Gemma.
"I made Vanilla Chocolate chip muffins" she said as Jax handed them to his mother,
"You managed to get them here without this oaf stealing any" she said as she and Amora headed into the kitchen, once inside and away from the others Gemma turned to her daughter in law
"I'm sorry Baby Girl, I really shouldn't have hit you, and I'm really sorry for the last few weeks" she said, Amora shook her head
"It's alright Gem, I should have thought more about you, you should have been there" she said, Gemma smiled
"No baby, you two had your day, now when your dad gets out then we'll have our day to celebrate, I think I can wait a few years" she said, Amora smiled and hugged Abel closer to her.
Jax watched with a grin as Amora smiled and giggled, she was so beautiful but even more so when she laughed, he placed his hand on her denim covered thigh, she smiled over at her husband, she was glad to see he wasn't as tense, she hated that he and Gemma fighting caused him to worry so much.
"So when are you two going to give me more grandchildren" Gemma asked, Amora choked on the drink she had been sipping, Jax rubbed her back, all the guys were laughing of sniggering
"We wanted to wait awhile, Abel is still very young and is still needing check-ups every few weeks" Jax said as Amora blushed and nodded.
"Hmm I suppose your right" she said, Jax sighed, Amora looked down and backup at her mother in law
"I want to make sure the monsters are dealt with before I bring another child into the world, I worry every day that something will happen to Abel, that I fear if I bring another baby in to the world that one of them will get hurt" she said, Jax frowned as did his brothers, they weren't any closer to finding who had raped Amora, there were feelers out there trying to find anything out, Jax wrapped his arm around his wife.
"We will find them baby, we will get justice" he promised, Clay nodded
"It is our priority to find them, the Nords are helping" he said, Amora nodded and sighed
"I'm sorry I'm being a downer" she said with a sad smile, Jax smiled at his wife, pulling her into his chest and pressed his face into her hair, she smiled and looked around at her family, these people were there for her whenever she needed him
Gemma watched with a smile, she was happy that her son was happy, but she really wanted to know who could have been so sick as to rape the beautiful woman on his arm, they had ruined her beautiful skin, scarred this girl all because she was an old lady to a son, shaking her head she sighed, she really wanted to ill who ever done it, Amora was only a baby, a beautiful girl who had never hurt anyone and she was punished for falling in love with Jax, but they had made a mistake, Amora meant everything to the club and that meant that every son would lay their life on the line for the young woman, they were out for blood.
"Ma" Amora looked at Abel who was in her arms, she was so happy, he had called her Ma, it meant an awful lot to her that he actually had said her name first, Jax grinned and pulled his wife and son into his arms, he held them tightly.
Gemma watched with awe at the love that had consumed her son, she would never understood how much strength Amora had, if it had been her who had been raped, she had no ided if she would have been able to even try to move on with her life, she would forever respect the younger woman, and even though she might have over reacted when they married, she would be sure to at leat try keep calm with what ever comes up in the future.
