I hope you enjoy!'
"Dad!" Tara called as she hopped off of the back of the bike and ran towards her father who stood there with the rest of the group smiling at her.
Mark was first to go to her as he squeezed his daughter as tightly as he could to make sure that she was alright. All he knew was that O'Phelan had his daughter for over a week and said nothing. That was something unforgivable and he prayed that Chibs took care of the bastard.
The group entered the lobby as Gemma pulled her into a hug and whispered, "Thank god you are alright."
Gemma pulled away and gave the green eyed woman a small kiss on the forehead before they saw Jax approach them. She didn't even stop as she ran towards him at full force. He easily picked her up and held her in his arms in complete and utter relief. She was whole and breathing. All they needed was their son. "Where is the baby?"
"He is in the room with the family. I have been waiting for you to show up." Jax replied as he gave her a small kiss on the lips savoring the feeling.
"Let's go then." Gemma replied as she lead the group the stairs and into the hallway of rooms where the family was staying. Jax headed towards the door and knocked on the door. Gemma had done the smartest thing of all of them and had snatched a picture with both Tara and Abel in it to prove that the baby was theirs. Truthfully she was going to use it if they needed to ask around but it would work just as good. She was all for using force but at the moment they needed the path with least resistance.
"Hello?" An American accent filled their ears as they looked at the man who was in an outfit that probably cost more than all of theirs combined.
"Yes I believe you have my son." Tara stepped forward thinking that she was probably the one who was the least intimidating and also she was the one in the picture that Gemma shoved in her hand for her to hold up. Tommy had explained everything to her on the way over. She could barely understand how a priest could take a child away from his family and give him to strangers. "You took him from the nuns two days ago?"
"Well he is my son now so I believe you should just leave." The replied as he kept what was behind the door hidden with the door and his body. "You did give him up for adoption."
"No we didn't he was taken from us. He is my son and I want him right now." She demanded as Jax silently stood behind her hoping to create a silent but demanding presence. "The center knows. I am sure if you go back there they will give you another child but you can't have Abel he is my son. He is a miracle child and that scar on his stomach tells more than you will ever know."
He saw the strength in her eyes and knew that this was the only way. He nodded and opened the door where his wife stood holding Abel not wanting to let go. Tara said nothing but walked towards the woman and took the baby from her arms. She understood what it was like to have a child taken from her but she would never let her son go. Not with another baby on the way. That baby deserved to have this magical little boy as a brother.
Abel's squeal of laughter filled the silent room as she lightly kissed his forehead and headed back out towards the hallway with Jax following behind her. As they reached the group he took the baby in his arms and started to give him a fair amount of affection and love. Something he had missed out on the past weeks. "Mom and you need to take the car and head back to the clubhouse. Juice will go back with you and make sure that you are okay."
"I will go with them." Tommy offered knowing that he would feel better having as many bodies that they could spare with Tara.
"Thanks man." Jax nodded as he lent Abel's head against his shoulder feeling the warmth that he was emitting from his small body.
"What are you guys going to do with Jimmy?" Tara asked as she looked down at Abel who was in his arm smiling as he entertained himself with Jax's beard.
"We are going to let Chibs decide." Jax replied as he gave the baby a kiss on his head again before handing him over to a waiting Gemma before grabbing Tara in his arms and giving her a kiss on the lips as passionate as he could.
"I have missed you so much." Tara whispered as she broke the kiss.
"I missed you more than you can imagine but we can talk about it later. Right now I need you to go somewhere safe." Jax demanded as he pushed her slightly away from his body.
She said nothing as she followed Gemma out with Tommy and Juice following behind looking every direction possible to ensure there was no danger. Jax turned to the rest of them as they stood not knowing what was next. Jax suddenly remembered that Jimmy would be looking for the couple and turned to Clay voicing his idea, "Jimmy will be coming here. I think we need to get them out of here."
"Alright I think that would probably be the best." Clay agreed and slowly went back over to the door not looking forward to dealing with the couple who had already lost a son they had just gotten.
Tara was in utter bliss as she held onto Abel. He had barely grown since the last time she saw him but she still felt that she had missed out on valuable time. She just prayed that all the drugs they had pumped her full didn't affect the baby too badly. Nothing was pointing towards a miscarriage but she still would feel a lot better after having an ultra sound.
"How far along are you?" Gemma's voice snapped her out of her thoughts immediately.
"How did you know?" Tara asked not sure what gave it away.
"Your hand." Gemma pointed down where Tara's hand was lying across her stomach in the same she use to do when she early in her pregnancy with Abel. "And I found the pregnancy test in the trash when I was cleaning out the room."
"Does Jax know?" He hadn't mentioned it in the minutes they had spent together but she still felt the need to ask.
"No I didn't want to tell him. He was in a dark place and if something had happened to you then it would have probably sent him over the edge." All valid reasons in Tara's mind but she didn't know when the best time to tell him would be.
"I want to be the one to tell him." She tried to sound sure as she looked up at Gemma hoping she would understand.
"Just tell him sooner rather than later. It will be better for the both of you." There was a silence after her advice was given that made her think Gemma wanted to say more.
"How bad was he?" She asked not sure she wanted to know but knew that she needed to know. Her mind had constantly been on him and the baby since they were seperated upon arrival in Belfast. Cameron took Abel while a friend of his took her to Jimmy as a show of dedication.
"He was in a dark place. Drank himself into oblivion more than a few times. Opie and Tommy had to take care of him a few morning because he could barely function." Gemma explained leaving out the part with Ima involved. She prayed that Tara never found out about that little indiscretion. No one would win from that getting out. It would only break a family apart. "But you are back and all is right."
"Yeah I guess." She replied as Abel caught her attention again not appreciating being ignored.
Jax on the other hand sat on the bed looking at the door. Jimmy could show at any minute and that meant it would finally be over. Cameron was dead, and soon Jimmy and his little henchman would be too. A knock on the door brought every person's eye to the white door. All of them drew their guns that had silencers on them and Jax made sure that he had his was facing the door as Juice opened it for him. Jimmy's face was shocked as he looked up and saw Jax, "Hello…"
"Sit down and I won't blow your face off." Jax answered as he pointed the barrel of the gun directly at the bastard's large nose.
Donny his little henchman turned around at the American accent and understood immediately what that meant. Both of them slowly say down on the bed while Bobby and Opie grabbed ahold of the guns they were carrying.
"Oi what are ya doing?" Jimmy asked trying to waste as much time as possible. Jax said nothing as he saw Chibs come out of the bathroom with two knives in his hand.
"You had his wife for years but you made a mistake..." Jax paused waiting for his reactions
"But what?" He quipped as Jax continued to stare.
"You kept my wife for a week. Bad move." Jax replied as he grabbed his gun and shot Donny in the head point blank.
"Stand up." Chibs said as he looked the man who stole his life.
"I guess you will finally get your revenge." Jimmy stated before Chibs sliced the sides of his face in the same fashion that the man had done to him. Then he took the two knives and drove them into his heart ensuring that he would be dead as he twisted them. "I am happy that my face will be the last one you ever see on this earth."
It was silent as all of them waited a moment before realizing that if they didn't take care of this problem now then there would a shit storm waiting for them.
"Happy and Opie take care of the bodies. Make sure that everyone knows that this was the Army." Clay requested as the two men went to work picking up the bodies and placing them on two clean sheets that were laid out.
Happy had stolen a maid cart for this job. All they needed to do was get the cart down to the road and leave the body in the alley. Jax and the rest of them waited till the bodies were placed in the cart before closing the room and headed to their bikes. Where Opie and Happy soon joined them and all of them headed back to the alley to pack up before heading home.
