**Tara POV**

It had almost been a year since the whole Kohn situation. Things had calmed down and Tara and Jax settled into their life. Jax was making his moves with the club and getting closer and closer to getting his Vice President patch. The only thing keeping him from that was apparently his age. It annoyed him so much that they still saw him as just a teenager. Jax had been going on a lot of runs rarely did he come back with his hands clean. He told Tara everytime he ended someone's life and she could tell it was taking a toll on him. Everyday he would talk more about taking the club into a more legal businesses. Tara supported him as much as she could, but she could tell when it wasn't enough. After the Kohn thing had died down Jax basically forced a Stockton University application in her hands. He didn't want her to be out of school for to long. He was scared she would get used to be out of school and just being a old lady and mother and that's not what he wanted. They had a plan and they would be sticking to it. He followed his dream and she went after hers. Tara was now a full time student. She would go to school and Gemma would watch Kallie. Her little girl was getting so big she wanted to slow down time not speed it up. Today was Kallies first birthday. Tara and Gemma had planned for weeks for her little girls birthday. She wanted it to be perfect. she kept telling everyone that they one turn 1 once but only Gemma and Jax had agreed with that analogy.

Tara woke up that morning with a huge smile on her face. It was Friday. The best Friday because her baby was a year old today. Jax was out on a run for the club but he promised he would be here before she woke up. Tara got out of bed and jumped in the shower. Kallie was a sleeper and wouldn't be awake for another hour or 2. That gave her enough time to get herself ready for the day. She wasn't going to school today opting to spend the entire day with her daughter. When she got out of the shower she heard Jax walking threw the door.

"Babe?"

"Bathroom" she called out as she wrapped a towel around her. He walked in and smirked.

"Hi there" she smiled at him.

He walked over to her and kissed her passionately "I missed you"

"I missed you to" she said breathlessly.

"Thank you" he told her

"for what?" She asked in confusion

"for giving me the best gift 1 year ago today" he smiled. She brought his lips down to hers again. She could never get enough of him. Not that she ever wanted to get tired.

"Do we have time?" Jax asked as he tugged at the towel trying to get it off of her. She shook her head but didn't let him go just then they heard a small cry coming from the other room.

"My daughter the master of timing" Jax laughed Tara smiled and ran to get her daughter. Kallie smiled and clapped her hands when she saw her mom walking into the room.

"Happy Birthday Princess!" Tara shouted and clapped her hands. Kallie jumped up and down her hands opening and closing meaning she wanted to be picked up. she scooped her up and smothered her in kisses.

"Mama" Kallie said excited. Tara looked at her daughter shocked.

"did you just talk?" Taras eyes welled up? "JAX!" She yelled

"what? What happened? Jax asked as he walked into the room

"Kallie just spoke!" Tara squealed

"What?! No way! what did she say?" Jax exclaimed

"She said mama." Tara looked down at her daughter "Can you say it again princess? Say mama?"

"Mama!" Kallie squealed with excitement she was such a happy baby. "Mama Mama Mama!" She chanted. Tara laughed and hugged her daughter tightly. nothing felt better in the world than hearing her call her mama.

"What about daddy? Can you say da da?" Tara pointed to Jax. Kallie looked at Jax and squealed reaching for him. Tara passed her off and Jax took her easily. She loved watching him with her. Heart always expanded out of her chest as she looked at them.

"There's my princess happy birthday baby" He kissed her face all other making her giggle. Kallie wiggled away as much as she could but Jax didn't stop in his kiss attack.

"Da Da." Kallie squealed. Tara jumped up and down excitedly and Jax stopped to look at his daughter. This felt better to Tara than when she learned how to walk.

"My daughter the little genius." Jax smiled and threw her up in the air catching her.

"Jesus Christ Jax you scare the shit outta me every time you do that!" Tara held her chest.

"Relax babe she loves it." He did it again but this time when Kallie squealed in excitement Tara smiled.

"alright you 2 its time to get ready." Tara walked into her room and looked in her closet "Jax I gave her a bath before bed so she just needs to be changed. Her birthday clothes are hanging up in her closet" She shouted.

"Got it babe" He shouted back

Tara got dressed quickly in some light blue washed jean shorts, she put on a white tank top and threw a blue flannel shirt that she left opened she threw on some white sneakers left her hair in waves. she applied some make up and grabbed a pain of sunglasses placing them on top of her head. Today was a bright sunny day and Tara was glad considering her daughters birthday was at a park. She walked into the kitchen and got started on breakfast. She half way done with setting up the table when Kallie and Jax came in.

"There's my two favorite people" Tara smiled.

"Me and Kallie Were having a daddy daughter moment" Jax similes as he put Kallie in her high chair. Tara laughed and handed him a plate of eggs and bacon. She served Kallie some oat meal then sat down with her own plate of eggs and began to feed Kallie first.

"Can you believe we have a one year old now?" Tara said in disbelief.

Jax shook his head and swallowed his food "No but I couldn't really believe it when you told me we were having a kid to begin with" he snickered.

"Do you regret it?"

"Not one single second" He said honestly. Tara smiled and leaned over to kiss him Kallie smacked her face "Mama!" She yelled.

"Ok ok you can get some kisses to" Tara said as she kissed her daughter all over making her giggle.

"What times the party?" Jax asked.

"At 3pm. Your moms probably already there. Which means Thomas should be walking in any minute"

"He really needs to stop just walking in here. Who the hell gave him a key any way?" Jax shook his head.

"um you did Jax and then you told him he could use it whenever he wants." She cleaned Kallies face off and handed her a toy so she could finish eating.

"Oh I need to get that back then."

"Yeah I think you should considering how many times he ALMOST caught in kitchen in living room on the couch on the floor." She counted off on her fingers.

Jax smirked "Those were some good times" He had a far away look on his face and she knew what he was thinking about.

"Get your mind out of the gutter Jax" Tara smirked

He shook his head and adjusted his jeans "I cant help it especially when your wear those short ass jeans" He growled

"They aren't short honey there normal length"

"There short Tara and if any guy in that park even looks your way" He threated but she laughed and walked over to him and straddled his lap.

"Everyone is scared of you Jax if anyone tries to hit on me they either don't know who I am to you or they want to get beat up" She wrapped her arms around his neck. "Besides the party is going to be over run by Sons. I doubt an outsider will even approach me."

"Damn straight" He kissed her lips.

"Da Da no!" Kallie giggled

Tara pulled away from Jax and looked at Kallie "well aren't we just miss talkative today"

Jax smiled "You don't want me kissing momma?" He asked her

"No!" She said excited and threw her hands in the air laughing. They laughed with her. Tara got of Jax and picked Kallie up

"come on daddy we have to go pick up Kallies cake" Tara grabbed her diaper bag and walked out the door but looked back at Jax "you are coming with us right?"

He looked at her like she was crazy "of course Tara. My whole day belongs to Kallie."

"Good cause I need you today." Tara kissed him when he reached her.

"I'll be here" he walked to the car and helped Tara get Kallie situated in her car seat before he jumped in the driver side. He grabbed Taras hand when she sat in the passenger side and they drove to enjoy their day as a family.

**Jax POV**

Jax sat on top of a picnic table at the park. He had a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other. He was leaned over so his elbows rested on his knees and he was watching the most beautiful sight in the world. Tara was pushing Kallie on the swing. Her little legs stretched out each time she went up high and she squealed as she came back down. Tara had the most beautiful smile on her face as she played with their daughter. She would catch him staring sometimes and she would blow him a kiss he would pretend to catch and put it in his pocket making her laugh. He couldn't get over how his life had turned out. He found the love of his life at the age of 16 had a baby with her at the age of 17 and was going to ask her to marry him at the age of 18 . He had been thinking about asking her for a while now but hadn't asked her due to many reason. His mother had finally married clay and he didn't want to over shadow that. Donna had left and Both Tara and Opie were a mess for months. Tara recoverd quickly Opie was still a mess though. Some part of him believed that Donna would stay and be with him. Jax had hoped for his sake that she would. He also wanted them to have their own place before he asked her to marry him but with the finale down payment he put on a house today nothing was stopping him from making her his wife. Sure they were younge but they were already parents and more mature than most 18 year olds. So how is marrying the one he knows he's always going to love much different than getting married to the love of your life at 25? To him it wasn't. She was already his wife in every way he just needed to make it official now. He was surprising her with the new house after Kallies party he would plan the proposal after that.

"Hey man" Opie said coming to sit next to him. Jax nodded in his direction but kept watching Kallie and Tara.

"Your really lucky you know that?" Opie said lighting a cigarette.

"Yeah I know I thank what ever God is up there for giving them to me. I honestly don't know where I'd be if she hadn't shown up." Jax said honestly.

"Probably fucking every Croweater you could get your hands on" Ope laughed

"Your prolly right"

"Don't you ever regret it? I mean you have a 1 year old your practically married and your only 18"

"honestly? No I don't. Tara asked me the same thing this morning but I can't see life any other way any more. Yeah before I met Tara all I wanted to do was fuck anything with 2 legs party everyday and wear this cut but now? After everything we do for the club how we have to get our hands dirty it's nice to go home and see Kallie and Tara snuggled up on the couch waiting for me to get home." Jax smiled and shook his head "I'm whipped I know" he shrugged "but I just don't care any more. Those girls MY girls are everything." He finished. Opie nodded thoughtfully.

"I think I'm gonna go to New York and see Donna." Opie admitted.

Jax looked at him "really?"

He nodded "Yeah I need to see her or else I'm going to fall into this black hole that I won't be able to crawl out of. Starting tomorrow we have almost a week till the next run. So I'm Gonna go to the air port and just go. I'll call her before I leave so she knows. But I have to see here"

Jax nodded he understood. If Tara had left he'd prolly be feeling the same way. "Good for you man" he looked over at Tara again she was sliding down the slide with Kallie in her arms. She let Kallie down and pointed to him. Kallie started walking slowly toward him with her arms out to keep her balance. Jax chuckled.

"that's one amazing little girl you have bro" opine smiled at kallie

"I know" Jax stood up ready to receive his little girl she was still a little far off but he bent down and opened his arms. She was about 15 steps away from reaching him when a guy ran right past her knocking down and making her cry.

"Hey watch were your going!" Tara shouted reaching down and picking up Kallie. Jax jogged up to them pissed the hell off. He pushed the guy from behind "watch were your going jack ass"

the guy turned around and Tara gasped. The guys eyes got wide before he smirked.

"Tara?" He asked. Jax looked back and forth between them.

"Aaron" She said with distaste.

jax looked at her "Tara who the hell is this guy?"

"She hasn't told you about me?" Aaron asked

Tara rolled her eyes at him a don looked at Jax "he's my ex. The one I told you about when we first started dating." Kallie was still crying and Tara was trying to explain and calm her down. Jax took her from Tara and kissed her forehead. He was to mad to talk he just wanted his little girl to stop crying. He remembered Tara talking about her ex briefly. He remembered how she told him he cheated on her constantly even cheated with one of her friends. She hated him so in turn Jax hated him.

"What are you doing here Aaron?" Tara asked annoyed.

"I'm here for a party but most of the guys were here. So here I am"

Tara looked confused and so was Jax "I don't understand"

"you want me to spell it off for you?" He snapped

"watch your damn tone" Jax growled. opie came and stood behind them.

Aaron looked back at Jax and smiled "your a SamCro member?"

"Cause the cut doesn't give it away" Tara snapped

"you gonna tell her about her tone?" Aaron asked Jax.

"My old lady doesn't need to watch anything" Jax growled again

"hey prospect introducing yourself to the next president of the mother charter and his family?" Uncle jury came up to him

Aaron looked shocked "next president? His family?" He asked

"don't make me look bad prospect. This is Jax Teller his old lady Tara and their daughter Kallie. It's her birthday she's the reason we're here. To celebrate the princesses birthday" Jury smiled

Aaron looked worried.

"You've Got to be fucking kidding me." Tara yelled. Jax handed Kallie to Opie.

"You ok darlin?" Jury asked worried. Tara cocked her hand back and punched Aaron right in the face.

"Thats for pushing my daughter"

"What the hell!" Aaron yelled and went after Tara but Jax got in the way. He grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him close to his face "You really Don't want to be that stupid prospect." He pushed him to the floor

"Am I missing something?" Jury asked.

"Time to cut the cake!" Gemma shouted.

Jax gave Aaron a death glare. "stay away from Tara and get the hell out here." He looked at uncle jury "we should talk about this prospects future" uncle jury nodded as Jax took Tara by the hand and walked away. This was about to get interesting.
