AN: So a GUEST did not like chapter 19. Ima is NOT dumb enough to help Gemma and Jax would not let Tara go home with out a escort which is probably true except in my story which IS a A.U. Clay is in Jail, Gemma has not been heard from in a month and the club is friends with the Myans and have not had any problems. That Jax we have never seen and I also feel he trust Piney with Tara because though I did no back story I did make a note that Tara felt safe around Piney because he protected her when younger. My characters may not act right based on the show but this isn't based on the show anymore this is me having fun writing a new story with the same people plus my story is more about how a strong Tara from early on could of changed so much, along with the other people who have joined.

I thank all of you who understand that im writing for fun not for fact and still read.

a HUGE Thank you to RHONDAL for the much much suppourt that has been shown. I hope for all of you who like how this story is going still like it when it's finished. Also note to the ones mad at me about Clay JUST going to Jail i may or may not be done with him yet not sure but i'll try to add something in there even if its small so he gets a better justice.

Chapter 20

"Gemma it's been two days what do you think is gonna happen here?" For two days Tara has been tied to a chair and made to watch Gemma play grandma and Ima told how she is gonna be a great old lady.

"Well if you didn't fuck up my plan we wouldn't be sat here."

"Well your plan can't be that good, it involves Ima." Tara's cheeck felt red hot before she even finished her sentance. Gemma punched Tara straight across the face. "Wow Gemma you really do think your screwed. The only time you do anything that might brake a nail is when you know your backed into a corner."

"You don't no shit sweetie."

"Oh Gemma I know you better then you think. Ive watched you since I was 15 be an Old lady, tried to learn the ropes but in the past few years i've spent less time learning from you and more time figuring out what makes you tick. Wanna be ready for when you plunge a knife in my back."

"Oh darlin I wont do that in front of the baby, instead we're just gonna leave you here."

Gemma picked up Grace in her car seat gave Tara one last look and followed Ima out. Tara screamed for Gemma as she watched her take her baby and in that moment she swore Gemma was dead.

Teller House (3rd day of kidnapping)

The club had been running down every lead possiable on Tara but each thing came up as useless as the next. The girls were doing there best to watch the kids and keep an eye on Jax make sure he didn't lose control or find a warm body to get lost in. Hale and Unser used every contact they had and were also comming up empty. No one would say it but you could tell everyone assummed the worst. No one had called with demands, Tara hadn't touched any of her money, her phone couldn't be tracked, all signs pointed to Tara being gone for good. Jax was of course taking it bad only leaving Abel and Monroe when he 100% had to and Happy was doing almost as bad as Jax. Both men rotated their time with the kids never wanting them alone and the other time sitting alone or tracking down leads on Tara. Piney was at the house today he had finally convinced Margreat to let him out before he shot someone and got released earlier in the day.

"Jax! Come here!"

The minute Jax heard Juice yell he came running, hoping he had something? "What? Did you find her?"

"No man but I had an idea and went with it, so hear me out."

By this point Lyla, Jax, Piney, Happy and Chucky had surrounded his computer, the rest of the family were off taking care of different things.

"So when we found out about Gemma and Clay I sat down with Tara and we talked alot, also helped her with security shit." Jax was beyond confused he didn't even no if their security system worked . "Tara wanted to know where they were at all times and after a long conversation and Happy threating to brake my neck if I told her no we put trackers on all their cars."

"Shit thats why she had me yell at you. Sorry dude."

"No Happy don't be sorry. Today I was thinking back, Tara was more scared of Gemma then Clay and it got me thinking hey why don't I check the trackers."

"And what did you find? Wheres my mom?"

"Well up until last night she was parked for two days at Luanns old studio which is weird considering she told Unser she was gonna head to Mexico for a few weeks, but...and please remember that your wife likes me for this next part and don't take my patch."

"Juice what the fuck did you do?"

"Well between that fight Tara had with Ima and the fact she is a little hormonal when you got back Lyla had been trying to convince her that Ima was not an issue but that didn't work so she asked me to put a tracker on your bike" Jax looked annoyed but he kind of understood her lack of trust. "I convinced her that was a bad idea but agreed to tracking Ima's car and it seems her car has been parked in the same place as your mother for three days."

After quickly agreeing that either way, Tara or not those two together meant problems Jax and Chibs called the rest of the guys who agreed it needed to be checked out.

The guys circled the building Opie and Jax at the front entrance, chibs and Happy at the emergencie exit with the rest of the guys keeping eye out at different corners. Once ready they all stormed in with guns drawn but it seemed no one was inside. Though they were in an open warehouse Luann had made temp room all over so the guys had to search each corner looking for Gemma and Ima. After searching every spot Jax finally spotted a slumped over Tara sitting tied to a chair. "CHIBS HELP!" Jax ran to Tara not sure what to do other then untie her. Chibs may not be doctor like Tara but he knew better the rest of them what to look for. After checking her over Chibs realised she was dehydrated but would be ok to move nothing was broken. Jax carried his wife out carfully and placed her in the van where Chucky had waited just incase they needed it.

...

Tara woke up with the sounds of beeps all around her and a tube in her arm "What the hell?"

"Babe, thank god."

"Jax what is going on?"

"We brought you to the hospital to get checked out just relax your safe now." He tried to kiss her head but she pulled away in disgust

"FINE? FINE! You think I'm fine, where the hell is my daughter Jackson? Where the hell is YOUR mother!?"

Jax may have thought this had his mother written all over it but he had no proof, at least not till now. "Tara I don't no." he hung his head unable to look at her, fear she would hate him. "We need you to tell us what happened."

"Take me home." Jax looked at her confused but said nothing. "NOW JACKSON!" her heart monitor started beeping and Margreat ran into the room.

"Tara thank god, look you have to calm down ok, your still week."

" I love you all but one more person tells me what to do or how I feel and there will be blood. Now get me my discharge papers."

Margreat new that look it was the same look she had the day Tara told her to run from the house when they got kidnapped, she might had disagreed then and even now but like hell would she tell her, this wasn't the loving Tara she had come to know, this was Tara mother and wife fueld by anger. Slowly pulling the tubes from her arm and everything else taped to her Tara got up and grabbed the sweatshirt out of Jax hands and slid it on "Lets go." Not sure what to do or say he followed his wife like a wounded puppy. For years Jax wondered what it would look like when Tara stepped up to be head old lady, would she be like Gemma or something else completley. He was thankful when Tara took on the role of Queen but didn't really change If anything she just brought back some of that 16 year old girl he fell in love with, he heard abut the fight with Ima, Opie had let it slip and it made him laugh and think back to younger days but this look now on her face it wasn't 16 year old Tara, its wasn't a new version of Gemma, he didn't know what it meant but one thing he learned from his mother hell have no fury like a woman scorned and this was a whole new level of scorned.

Club house

After Jax and Happy took Tara to the hospital everyone went back to the club house. Kerriann had called Juice and told him no one was to come back to the house her and Trinity wanted to clean it before Tara came home. It had been a few hours since then and everyone was keeping them selfs busy in some way until they heard about their Queen, even some of the crow eaters were hanging around to hear news. After what seemed like forever Opie got a call from Jax saying he was on his way and Tara was with him.

Walking into the club house Tara heard the intake of breath from anyone who had not already seen her face, the sad looks from the crow eaters, the tears forming in Fiona and Lylas eyes, the shot Piney took right after looking at her, she could tell how bad he felt but right now was not the time for that.

"If your not a memeber, wife of, or child of GET OUT!" Taras voice was firm not cracking once and the look in her eyes clearly showed how seriouse she was. The crow eaters and some of the mechanics left quickly not out of fear well at least on the behalf of the mechanics but out of respect, word spread fast about Tara being gone and even quicker about the missing child so out of respect of Samcros Queen but also out of respect for the mother who was hurting people left with no foul words or glares just soft smiles and small nods.

Fiona was the first to make her way to Tara, they had become almost mother and daughter in the way the treated each other. Tara might have been Queen but she treated Fiona with nothing but respect and Fiona took care of Tara the way she would Kerriann. "Love you ok? what do you need?"

Tara looked around the room and at the faces around her, she's not sure what happened but in those few moments something in her snapped. She had over the past few years came into her own and started to stand up for herself and family but at the root of it all she was still just Tara Knowles push over she proved that when Abel was taken and she backed down from an angry Jax so quickly. Looking at the people she called family and the three beautiful chldren playing on the floor in front of her she quickly realised this wasn't like Abel she knew who was behind this, knew how she worked, and like hell was she gonna let Gemma Teller destory this new life she helped build for herself and all these people around her.

"What I need is Gemma dead and my daughter back."

Opie was first to speak "Are you confirming Gemma did this? 100%?"

"Yes Gemma, Ima and some Myhan prospect." Everyone started talking over one another trying to process what they all just heard. "SHUT UP!" everyone went silent at Taras outburst.

"Jax call Marcus I want him here now, Juice start doing what ever computer stuff you do and track everything in Ima and Gemmas name, Clays to just incase shes using his accounts. Piney put the Tequila away we're gonna need you half sober today. Chucky put some food on, I'm sure half the people here have not eaten. Now if you will excuse me I'm gonna put some make up on to hide these marks from the kids, Fiona come help?"

No one questioned Tara they just did as she asked, well more told. The guys thought Tara was strong but more in the can take alot of shit and get threw it kind of strong but at this moment she looked more like she was gonna chew them up and spit them all out if you didn't listen.

...

"Tara are you ok really?" Closing the bedroom door Fiona watched her very closely.

"Fiona I'm lost and confused. I want to brake shit and scream but at the same time I want to crawl in a corner and cry."

"Love your child is missing you are allowed to feel what ever you want."

"I looked at those guys out there and realised Gemma doing this will destroy them all, Jax will never kill his mother and we know Tig is crazy in love with her. How can I ask these men to pick and not become her?"

"The fact your worried about becomming her means your already better then her, Gemma only does what good for her."

"That's also another point how is kidnapping Jax daughter good for her? How does she think she can spin this so he forgives her?"

"I don't know but we will figure this out and i'm here for anything you need."

Tara smiled softly, she had yet to shread a tear. Tara knew that was a bad sign, hell maybe she was slowly dying inside or something, who knows physc was never her favorite class in college.

AN HOUR LATER

Tara played with the kids outside. Abel refused to leave his mothers side, he even follwed her to the bathroom at one point. The sound of bikes caught Taras attention, turning her head she saw Marcus pull in with about six of his men.

" Mama Cita , where you been?"

"Don't let your wife here you talk to me like that." Giving him a hug she smiled there was no way this man tried to have her killed. "Think we need to talk."

"Where your old man?"

"Inside. Come on even got food and beer out for you."

The group of men followed with Marcus next to Tara as they walked into the clubhouse. "Marcus please tell me your prospect didn't try to kill my wife?" Jax said getting straight to the point and not caring who was around.

"Sorry brother but seems he did, but not at club orders I swear."

"So what do you know then?"

"Might want to take this some where a little more private."

Jax got ready to speak up about not needing to but Tara grabbed his arm before he could speak. She leaned in so only he could hear her. "Jackson I know this club is clean again but this may not be something non memebers should know full details of."

"You sure?"

"Talk with marcus and the club sort out what he knows and what can be shared. I still get told everything like you promised but Lyla and Kerriann don't always need to know everything that is a choice for Opie and Juice." Jax kissed Tara a walked towards the chapel "CHURCH, NOW!"

everyone walked past Tara giving her a kiss or hug or shoulder squeeze, Chibs being the last memeber to enter church looked at Tara with straight face "Juice and my daughter are not together."

"We should really talk when this is over Phillip." With a wide smile Tara turned away but not without missing the look of fear on Juice face as he sat at the table.
