After an hour of just sitting at the kitchen table with her glass of red wine Tara looks over at Jax."Okay lets go tell him now." Tara said as she rose up from the kitchen table.
"Tara wait." Jax said as he stood up."Lets slow now for a moment here." Jax said as he stepped closer.
"Why?" Tara asked as she scrunched her brows together."We agreed to tell him tonight." Tara said as she looked up at him.
"I know but maybe we could tell him tomorrow. We really don't have to do this tonight babe." Jax suggested.
"Jax now tonight is a good time to tell him cause if we don't Wendy might and I can't let that happen." Tara said as she walked out of the kitchen and into the living room.
"Hey Abel can we talk to you?" Tara asked when Jax followed Tara out into the living room.
"Um sure. What's going on?" Abel asked as he shut the tv off and sat up straight." Is everything okay?" He asked.
"Well actually that depends on what we are about to tell you." Tara said as she looked over at Jax for a moment.
Jax looks down at Tara as he nods his head.
Tara breathe deeply as she walked over to Abel and sat down beside him."Remember when you were five and when you saw me with a friend sometimes in my office or sometimes in daycare?" Tara asked.
"Yeah you said her name was Wendy Case and you said she was a friend of the family."Abel said as he shrugged his shoulder.
"What about her?" Abel asked.
Tara looked over at Jax for another moment and exhaled deeply as she answers Abel's question.
"Wendy Case wasn't. really a friend of the family''s. She was actually your fathers ex-wife. Which means she was or is your birth mother."Tara said softly.
"What?"Abel asked as he looked over at Jax for a moment."Dad what is mom talking about?"Abel asked again.
Jax placed a hand on Tara's thigh as he sighs deeply and looks over at Abel."When your mother. Your birth mother was pregnant with you. She was using. Mostly crank."Jax stopped for a moment.
Tara tangled her fingers against Jax's and nods her head to let him continue.
"The day you were born.They had to do an emerancy c-section. You were born ten weeks early because of the drugs. You were born with your stomach hanging out and with a heart defect which you still have. With only being born ten weeks early The doctors wasn't sure if you were gonna make it.Hell even I thought you weren't going to make it." Jax exhaled deeply and looked over at Tara for a moment.
Tara then nods her head as she looked over at Abel." When the doctors wanted to go in and fix your heart along with your stomach. I asked if I could help because I knew that very moment I couldn't let your father lose you. For months watching you in that Nicobar fighting and getting stronger every day. I started to think how could someone do something like this to an innocent baby. How that person try to murder their own son? Their own flesh and blood? Even now I still think about those questions. Everytime I watch you wth Thomas or when I watch you at the table." Tara let of Jax's hand and got up to walk over to Abel.
Sitting now next to her son Tara grabbed his hand and held it tightly." Abel. For fifteen years I've always took care of you. I have raised you and been with you since day one. I know I am not real mother but you are my son just as much Thomas is. I love you son and no matter what I am always going to be here for you no matter what."She said looking at Abel for a moment.
"Is there anything you want to ask me?"Tara asked.
Abel just that there in silence as he was trying to wrap his mind around on what his parents had just told him. Abel then looked over Tara for a moment.
"Why are you guys just telling me this now?" Abel asked as he shook his head."Why did you wait for fifteen years to tell me?"He asked again.
"Few days ago before your dad and I went up to the cabin in Big Bear. Wendy came to my office at the hospital." She-"
'Wait? Wendy is here?" Abel asked as he arched his brow for a moment.
"She was and she wanted to see you and to tell you the truth about herself. But I felt it was better that you heard the truth from us instead."Tara said as she placed her hand over Abel's hand.
"Abel I want you to know no matter what happens you're always going to be my son. Just because Wendy was the one who gave birth to you. You're still mind son just like Thomas is my son."Tara said looking at Abel.
Abel nods his head."I know mom." He said as he leans over and kissed her cheek. He then stood up and grabbed his jacket from the back of the couch."I am gonna go for a walk." Abel said putting his jacket on.
"It's kinda late though."Tara said as she looked over at him.
"I need to clear my head mom." He said as he leans down and kissed her forehead gently." I would be back soon." Abel said as he walked towards the front door.
"Abel-" Tara tried to say when she felt Jax's hand on her shoulder.
"Be careful son and be back before eleven." Jax said as he nods his head.
"Thanks dad I will." Abel said as he opened the front door and looked over at Tara."I love you mom." He said as he headed out the door.
"I love you too son."Tara said as soon she heard the front door closed behind him. Tara sighs softly as she rubbed and oinched the bridge of her nose." Do you think he's going to be okay?" Tara asked softly.
Jax sat down and leans back against the couch as he wrapped his arm around Tara's waist pulling her closer to him. He leans down and kisses her temple softly."Abel is a smart kid Tara. He will be fine. Now are you gonna be okay?" Jax asked softly as he gently rub her arm up and down with his thumb.
Tara just shrugged her shoulders."I will be." She said as she rest her head against his shoulder and her hand against her chest."I still believe Gemma had something to do with it though."
"What you mean?" Jax asked looking down at her.
Tara sat up and looked straight at Jax." Well for one ever since I been raising Abel Gemma has been trying everything she can to push me out of Abel's life. For fifteen years your mother has been trying to get Wendy back into Abel's life and she's still doing it." Tara said as she heard an unexpected knock at her front door.
"Are we expecting someone?" Tara asked as she gave Jax an confused look.
"No I don't think so." Jax said as he got up and walked over to the door. Just as soon as he opened it Jax started to tense up and gripped the doorknob tightly."Wendy." Jax said in an angry tone.
"Hi Jax. Can I come in?" Wendy asked.
