Chapter 25- Hypocrite

Hope you enjoy. Things are going to heat up with the arrival of Pope. Don't forget to let me know what you think.

~Smiles

"What do you want to know Jax?"

"I want to know everything ."

Jade squirmed a little in her seat. It was very uncomfortable to talk to your current man about and ex-boyfriend, especially in the fucked up situation they found themselves in.

"My dad did business with Pope about five years ago."

"What kind of business?" Jax interrupted.

"Investment stuff…..I don't really know the details and I met Marks through Pope. We dated for about two years." Jax walked around the counter and stood in front of Jade.

"Why did you break up and how long ago was it?" he asked.

"We broke up a year and a half before I met you Jax. I did not want to be tied down at the time. I wanted to focus on my career and he wanted to settle down."

Jax just stood and looked at her.

"Jax, it was so long ago. I haven't talked to him since we met."

"Was he the phone call you got earlier?" Jade nodded yes. "Are you going to call him back?"

"No."

Jax sat on the stool next to her. "Is that everything?"

Jade was trying not to become upset. She did not recall him telling her everything about his ex-girlfriend Tara who was Abel's doctor and it was not like she went to sleep with Marks while they were together like he did with Tara. Jade had to remind herself that men can be territorial and Jax was defiantly displaying the signs of being possessive and jealous.

"Yes it's everything." Jade leaned over to touch his cheek and Jax recoiled. Jade was heartbroken. Why was he treating her this way?

"Why are you acting this way? If you did not say it was Black who shot Clay him and Pope would not be in our lives right now." Jade defended.

"Don't you think I know that?" Jax snapped at her. Jade stood up, she was not taking his bullshit.

"Fuck you! You are such a hypocrite!" she yelled at him. Jax grabbed her arm as she started to walk off.

"Don't you walk away from me." He fumed as his eyes darken. Jade pulled her other hand back and slapped Jax across the face as hard as she could. "Let go of me!" she yelled as he grabbed his cheek in reflex. Jade pulled her arm out of his grasp and he reached for her again. Jade was aiming to hit him again but he caught her by the wrist and grabbed her other wrist. "Stop it!" he shouted at her. Hearing the commotion Nero, Michael and Chibs ran in the room and found Jade trying her hardest to pull away from Jax's grasp.

"What the hell is going on?! Jax let go of her!" Michael ran over to his daughter to pull her away from Jax. As Jax let go of her arms Jade used the opportunity to slap him again. This time she used every piece of strength she had to hit him across the face.

"Shit!" Chibs hissed as he grabbed Jax before he did something he would regret.

"You make me sick! How can you be mad at me when I did nothing wrong?!" Jade cried, tears started to roll down her cheeks. "I've done nothing wrong!" she repeated.

Michael pulled his daughter out the kitchen/bar and told her to calm down. Jade started to shake as she was so angry with him. After all she has done for him, all she sacrificed for him, he would be angry with her over a past boyfriend. He was being unreasonable and a complete prick. Jade grabbed her purse and started to walk out the door. Jax pushed against Chibs to let him go as he was going to go after her but Chibs held him back.

"Easy now Jackie boy…let her go. Give her a break and let her calm down."

Jax mentally defeated went and sat down at the table.

"What the hell happen between you two? Michael asked as he sat next to Jax. He knew not to go after his daughter when she was pissed off so he would have to get his information from Jax.

Jax sighed and sat back in the seat. "I asked her to tell me about Marks."

"And?"

"And things got out of hand."

"Did you lay a hand on her?"

"No!"

"I don't know what you did son but you are going to have to make it right. I have not seen her so angry in a long time and when she gets that angry…." Michael shook his head. Jax was in some serious shit and he better find a way to crawl out fast.

"My daughter is a good woman Jax and she is the mother of your boys. You make this right before you go inside today." Michael instructed. Jax eyes started to become red as he fought back his tears.

"I will make it right….I promise."

Gemma emerged with Tig from the back room and saw Jax face. She looked around for Jade and did not see her. Crossing her arms she looked at her son sternly.

"What did you do Jackson?"

Jax let out another sigh, put his elbows on the table and put his head in his hands. How the hell was he going to make it right with Jade? For some reason he just felt some type of way about her association with Pope and to know that she was with his right hand man infuriated him. Gemma walked over to Jax and rubbed her fingers through his hair. It was growing back so fast. She knew he was upset and she needed to comfort her son. She sat on the other side of him and rubbed his back. She looked at Michael for answers but he started to pack his paperwork up to go and call the D.A. and start work on the RICO and Otto Delaney situation.

"Baby you want to tell me what happen?" she whispered to him.

Jax looked up with red eyes. Gemma noticed his right cheek was bright red.

"We got into an argument mom about her ex-boyfriend."

"Your face says it was more than an argument." She observed.

"Yes it was a little more than an argument. I'm so angry right now at her mom and I don't know how to turn off that switch."

"Did she sleep with him?" she asked in a whispered, dramatic voice. Jax knew his mom was being a sarcastic bitch right now. Yes, he was upset at Jade and no she did cheat on him like he did to her but he still was pissed. He knew he was being unreasonable. But Jade was his and no one else and this man popping back up…which of course was his fault, was threatening his relationship with her. He knew they have not seen each other in over a year but what would happen if he did search her out to see her again. He already reached out by phone. Jax did not want Jade ever seeing him again.

"No mom she did not sleep with him. She has not seen him since we met."

"Huh…so what is the problem?" she asked.

Jax shook his head.

"I just don't want her to ever see him again."

"Hmmm…..who put them on the path to have that opportunity?"

Jax slammed his fists on the table.

"I know mom!" he hissed at her. "I don't need a fuckin reminder that it's my fault! I know this."

Gemma looked at her son; he was so handsome and intelligent but could be dumb as hell at the same time.

Chibs walked over and told Jax that they had an address on Tig's other daughter Fawn. Gemma took her son's hand before he got up from the table.

"Jax please don't let this fester with Jade. You need to go to her."

Jax nodded his head and kissed his mom before he left to find Tig's daughter.

Later that day Jax met with the Galindo cartel to try to secure protection inside. He hopes they could use their CIA resources to help protect them while they were in prison. After his meet he had one more stop to make before they turn themselves in.

Kim was washing the dishes while Opie was in the backyard working on a project. She looked out of the window at him and smiled. He was so handsome and she loved him so much. Kim touched her stomach and decided she needed to tell Opie that she was pregnant. Jade made a good point that it may be exactly what he needed to help him through the grief of his father. She would never want to take his love and memory of Donna away from him but they would have to start a new life with his kids and their baby. She looked around the kitchen; Donna's presence was in every object in the house. Since she was practically living there she was slowly trying to redo the house. She was of course going to leave a few items such as pictures and objects the kids wanted to keep but most of the items will have to go. It felt as if she was living with a ghost at times. She was glad she was successful in getting a new bedroom set because Opie did not want to sleep with her on it and she could not blame him. So most nights the kids and him slept at her house until she brought the new bedroom set.

Kim looked back through the window and saw that Clay had stopped by and was talking with Opie. Kim became tense; she wanted to grab the butcher knife out of the knife set and run and stab him. All the pain that man put Opie and his family through she could not understand how Opie was standing there calmly talking to him. Kim watched them through the window and strained to hear what they were saying.

After Clay left she watched as Opie threw down a piece of lumber in anger. He walked in the house sweaty and his face was red with anger.

"What did he want Ope?" Kim asked as he passed by her.

"Kim, will you watch the kids for a few weeks?"

"Of course I would watch them Ope but why would I need to?

"Jax, Chibs and Tig are turning themselves in today and I need to be there for Jax."

"Be there for Jax? What about being there for me?"Kim argued.

"Kim, I need to do this. It would only be a couple of weeks tops."

"You can't Ope….you can't go to jail and leave me and the kids." She pleaded with him.

Ope gently touched Kim's face. "I have to honey. I have to stay close to Jax."

"What about me and the kids?! You need to stay close to us Ope…. You can't leave us!" Kim's voice started to rise. How could he be so selfless and selfish at the same time? Opie grabbed her into his arms. Kim hugged him tight getting sweat all over her. She lifted up, buried her face in his neck, and planted light kisses.

"I'm pregnant." She mumbled into his skin.

"What?" Ope asked not hearing her clearly. Kim lifted her head and repeated what she said. Opie looked at her stunned for a few seconds and then a smile slowly spread across his face.

"You're pregnant?" Kim nodded yes. He laughed and lifted her up off the ground with a big bear hug.

"Ope you can't leave…..please don't do this to us."

Opie grabbed Kim's face and planted a long kiss on her lips.

"I'm not going anywhere." He told her. Kim sighed with relief and rest her head on Opie's massive chest. He hugged her tight and kissed the top of her head.

The house was quiet when Jax got in. He saw that Neeta's car was gone. Looking in the boy's room, he found them fast asleep. He walked back to the bedroom and found Jade laying down on the bed crying. She did not hear him come in.

"Babe?" he whispered as he walked to her side of the bed and knelt down. He slowly wiped her tears away. Jade closed her eyes not wanting to look at him.

"I'm jealous Jade…..and I'm sorry….I don't know how to stop being jealous. I love you so much and this whole Marks thing is eating me up."

Jade sat up. "I don't love him Jax, I love you. How can I get that through your thick skull? Marks is past history. There is nothing there." Jade went to touch his cheek and Jax did not pull away.

"Don't be jealous babe. I am yours and only yours." Jade told him before she leaned over and kissed his lips softly. When she pulled up to look at him, he grabbed the back of her head and brought her to his lips again. Not wanting to let her go Jax pulled away as he had to get back to the clubhouse to turn himself in.

"I love you." He told her as he stood up. Jade got off the bed and hugged him tight.

"I love you too."

Jade was going to follow behind Jax back to the clubhouse. She got the sleepy boys ready as fast as she could with Jax help. He kissed and hugged his boys and told them he loved them repeatedly. He help get the boys in the car and they headed to the clubhouse.

After a few moments of talking to everyone and tying up a few loose ends, they heard sirens pull up.

"Alright girls….our rides here." Chibs yelled out.

As they were about to head outside Opie and Kim rushed through the door. Opie walked up to Jax and they hugged tight.

"You got protection inside?" Opie asked. Jax nodded yes.

"Ope you and Bobby watch over my family….ok?"

"I will brother…you know I will." Opie smiled at Jax. "You are about to be an uncle again."

"Kim's pregnant?"

"Yep."

Jax laughed and hugged Opie again. He was so happy for him. Opie deserved to be happy and Kim was making that happen. Jax looked over at Kim and mouthed congratulations to her. She smiled back at him.

There was a knock at the door.

"San Joaquin Sheriff Department!" Eli announced. As Eli walked in the clubhouse Michael handed him paperwork and told him the guys were ready. Jade walked over and hugged Jax again. They were going through this prison ordeal yet again and she needed to be strong. Jax kissed Jade and told her again he loved her.

Outside Jade watched in silence as they handcuffed and load the love of her life in the sheriff van. When the van drove off that was when Jade broke down. Kim and Gemma surrounded her and hugged her tight. "We are going to get through this baby…I promise." Gemma's words were comforting and exactly what she needed to hear.
