37.

It had been two weeks and Tara went to visit Jax everyday. He still didn't remember her as his wife and he flirted with her constantly. Part of her liked it, reminded her of long ago, but she wanted her husband back. She didn't bring Abel up because she didn't know how Abel would react to Jax not knowing who he is. The doctors thought it best that she didn't bring him. She did bring pictures and Happy and Opie constantly came to visit. He would shut them down though anytime they brought Tara up. One day she came in and Jax looked in deep thought.

"Hey, can we talk?" he asked.

"Sure." she said sitting in the chair next to his bed.

"I first need some answers if you don't mind."
"Anything Jax." she said hoping he was remembering something.

"I need to know why my mom hasn't been here yet to see me. It's not like her. Usually she would be the one making all the noise if you know what I mean."

"Yeah, I do know." Tara hated this, because she was going to have to be the one to tell him.

"Jax, your mother is dead."

"WHAT? What happened?" he asked.

"She was, she was..." Tara couldn't say it she started crying and ran out of the room.

Jax lay there for a moment and called Opie.

Opie showed up at the hospital and sat down.

"What do you need brother?"

"I need for someone to explain to me why my mother is dead. How did my mother die Ope?"

"She was stabbed." Opie said quietly.

"Stabbed? Did we get the mother fucker who did this to her?"

Opie really hated having to do this.

"No, she uh.. it was Tara who stabbed her. It was self defense brother." Opie quickly explained.

"This woman who claims to be my wife is the one who murdered my mom? How could you let her play these games with me Ope, your my best friend and brother."
"Jax, it really was self defense. It was her or your mom."

"I want you to make sure that lying slut never comes back here Opie. When I get out of here we are going to make sure that she is dealt with."

"You can't do that brother. You will regret it."

"Are you threatening me?" Jax asked.

"No, I'm not. I'm telling you that there was a time when you had all of your memories that you loved Tara with everything you had. When you get those memories back if you have hurt her you won't be able to live with yourself."
Jax got quiet thinking. "I'll not hurt her, but you have to keep that bitch away Ope. I can't promise I won't do anything if she comes around me." Jax finally said.

"I'll keep her away." Opie finally said and stood up to leave. "I hope you remember soon brother." and then Opie left.

Opie was walking down the hallway when he came upon Tara. He asked if there was somewhere they could talk. She took him into her office. He went to explain what happened and telling her not to go see Jax anymore. He could see this was breaking Tara's heart. She started crying and he held her in his arms. "I'm sorry Tara, he'll remember and we won't have to worry anymore, but you have to take care of that little girl in there."

"He doesn't even know we are having a little girl Ope. He doesn't know he already has a son." she cried.

"He will Tara." She finally pulled away and nodded to tell him she was okay. She watched him leave. She went towards Jax's room and looked in the window. She saw him laying there and knew that was his deep in thought look. She cried some more tears and then walked away. She went to ask for a leave of absence because she knew if she was at the hospital she would go see him. Then she went home.

When Lisa found out what happened she was hurting for her bestfriend but she was also angry that this happened. No matter what Jax should not be threatening her. He was told who Tara was, that alone should keep him from doing that. She cuddled up with Angelica and cried for her friends.

"Hey babe." she heard as Happy walked into the room.

"Oh Hap, what's happening to everyone?"

"I don't know babe, but we will get through this. Jax is going to remember again."

"When he does I get to lamblast him okay?"

"Okay baby." he said with a small smile on his face as he pulled her and Angelica to him.

Another week had gone by and it was time for her and Lylas doctor appointments. Lyla picked her up after Nita came to watch Abel. Tara was silent on the drive.

"Are you okay sugar?" Lyla asked.

"I'll be fine Lyla. I don't know what I would do without you and Lisa."

"You never have to worry that we won't be here for you as you've been there for us."

"I know." she said. Tara and Lyla were both starting to show their pregnancies by then and they both walked into the hospital. Tara begged Lyla to go past Jax's room. She needed to know how he was. As they walked past they saw a nurse in Jax's room. The two of them were flirting like crazy. Tara almost lost it when the nurse leaned over and Jax pulled her down and kissed her, his hands reaching up to caress her breasts. Tara turned and ran from there. Lyla turned to go after her and she watched as Tara stumbled to the floor. "TARA." she yelled. Nurses ran to her and they got her on a gurney. Lyla pulled out her phone and called Ope.

"Where is she?" Lyla heard Ope and Happy say as they ran to where she was.

"They still have her back there. I hope nothing is wrong with her or the baby Ope."Lyla cried.

The doctor came out to Lyla.

"We are going to admit her. Right now the baby and her are going to be fine. But she needs bedrest. Her blood pressure is shooting off the charts. We need to keep her calm."

"Whatever she has to do for the baby she will." Lyla said.

"She is going to be on the obstetrics ward. You can visit her soon. We are getting her moved."

Lyla turned to Opie and cried into his chest. "Why?" was all she could say.

Happy and Opie were pissed. They knew that Jax didn't remember Tara but to do something like that even though he was told he was married was just wrong. They stormed into Jax's room. "GET OUT." Opie said to the nurse. She looked up scared and hurried out.

"What the fuck Ope? I was having fun." Jax said with a smile.

"Yeah, well your fun just put your wife in the hospital. She saw you two and went running. When she did she fell. The baby is going to be okay and she is too but she has to be admitted for bedrest." Opie said angrily.

"You have no right talking to me like that Ope. I'm the president of this club as you two keep telling me. Besides you are the ones saying I'm married and if I want some pussy from someone else I can get free pussy. The baby probably isn't mine." he said.

"You bastard." Opie said before getting ready to hit Jax. Happy grabbed him quickly. "Not now brother."

"If so you do it so Tara can't see." Opie said before storming out of the room. "I told him to keep her away." was all Jax said. Happy turned and left the room.
