Pulling up into Gemma's driveway Tara started to wonder if coming here tonight for dinner was even a good idea or not/ Hearing the engine dying down Tara's mind started to race with so many questions, Questions Tara needed to answers to. Its been ten years since Tara had set foot in that house and she still wasn't ready yet, She breathes in and out looking over at Jax for a moment, "Why don't you guys go on in. I need about five minutes to myself." Tara said with a nod an a small smile when she felt Jax squeeze her hand.

Jax lifted her hand and gently pressed his lips against it."Okay, babe." Both Jax and Abel got out of the truck and let Tara stay behind with her own thoughts. While watching her husband and son walking through the kitchen door, Tara exhaled deeply closing her eyes for a moment while she was trying to collect herself, Tara started to feel nervous and she couldn't understand why. She hasn't spoken to Gemma for quite some time now and she knew Gemma wasn't really a threat to her or to her family anymore. So why the hell was Tara feeling nervous now? So lost in her thoughts Tara jumped when she heard a knock at the window, She looked up and saw Gemma standing by her door, Tara exhaled deeply slowly rolling down her window.

"Planning on staying out here all night?" Gemma asked.

Tara just shrugged her shoulders, "Maybe." She said quietly. Tara then looked up at Gemma for a moment. Studying Gemma's face trying to figure out if this dinner was a way for Gemma to worm her way back into their lives, "Did you know that Wendy came to San Diego a few weeks ago, demanding that she sees Abel?" Tara questions glaring up at Gemma."Where you behind it?"

Gemma shook her head furrowing her brows together." I had no idea Wendy went to San Diego or even wanted to see Abel, She never mentioned it to me."Gemma said looking down at Tara, "Is that why you guys are here? Because of Wendy? Gemma asked.

Without looking up Tara looked straight ahead nodding her head," Yeah, a few weeks ago Wendy showed up at Kaiser in my office, telling me it was time for her to finally to get know her son and that Abel should finally have the chance to meet her as well. At first, I didn't want to tell Abel about Wendy cause I spent most of his life trying to protect him from her, But I realized that keeping that kind of secret from him was just gonna make things worse. So one night Jax and I sat down with Abel and told him about Wendy, Told him that Wendy was his biological mother. "

Gemma nods her head," Well I am glad that he finally knows, How did he take it, When you guys finally told him?" Gemma asked.

"He was okay with it cause he knew no matter what happens that I am always gonna be his mother and there's nothing you or Wendy could do about it," Tara said looking up at Gemma." The only reason why I agreed to this dinner was that Jax actually wants us to make peace with what happened between us ten years ago," Tara threw her hand up before Gemma could say something, "But to be honest here Gemma I still don't trust you and I am not sure if we ever get past it all," Tara said looking at Gemma for a moment,

"Tara ever since you left and took my grandsons away from me. I felt betrayed and I was hurt mostly because I didn't have my boys with me and when Jax was inside. I tried to visit him but he refused to see me and for a while, I blamed you for it. I blamed you for everything that happened. But I knew deep down you were only doing what I couldn't do and that was to protect your family," Gemma said honestly.

Tara couldn't believe what she was hearing, Was Gemma really telling her the truth or was this all an act. Tara couldn't truly figure it out, Tara just nods her head for a moment, Finally getting out the truck Tara closed the door behind her."Look we are only here in Charming for two days so Abel could meet Wendy and then we are going back to San Diego. So don't make a big deal out of this," Tara said shaking her head.

Gemma nods her head, "Come on everyone is waiting." Gemma said walking ahead with Tara following behind. Walking through the back door Tara looked around and noticed things haven't changed much, But she also noticed that Gemma had added few things, Walking towards the dining room Tara found Jax and Abel sitting at the table, Tara took a deep breath and went to join them at the table, Jax looked up when Tara sat down beside her. He leans in and kissed her cheek,

"Everything okay?"He asked in a whisper.

Tara just nods her head."Yeah so far," She responded when she glanced over at Gemma for a moment who was still in the kitchen standing over the stove, Tara just hopes that this wasn't a mistake or anything,

...

The next morning Tara grabs her cell and walked out of the hotel room so she wouldn't disturb Jax and Abel since they were still sleeping. Going through her contacts Tara called Donna to check-in." Hey, Donna its Tara." I hope I didn't wake you or anything," Tara said with a chuckle,

Donna shook her head." Nah I been up for a while now," So what's up? did you guys meet up with Wendy yet?" Donna asked,

"No, not yet, But we are going to today. Jax got her address from Juice last night, So we are gonna go see her today."Tara said leaning back against the wall."How is Thomas doing?" Tara asked wanted to get her mind off of Wendy for now.

"He is good just wondering when your guys are coming back though," Donna said with a smile against her cell. "So how did things go with you and Gemma?" Donna asked as she started to wonder if Tara talked to Gemma yet or not,

Tara just shrugged her shoulder."Alight I guess, We went over to her place for dinner last night and we talked, She claims that she had no knowledge of Wendy coming to San Diego or wanting to see Abel either, But I don't know Donna, I still think Gemma had something to do with it. She says she has changed and that she just wants her family back,"

"Do you believe her?"

Tara shook her head and shrugged her shoulders." I want to but I am not sure if I should." Tara looked over when the hotel door opened and Jax stepped out closing the door behind him. Wearing sweatpants and a white tank top, "I gotta go Jax just woke up. I will talk to you later D, Thanks for everything," Hanging up Tara tuck her cell in her pocket when she looked up, "What is it?" Tara asked,

"That was Chibs, He said Wendy is at the clubhouse right now and wants to see Abel."

"How did she..." Tara then just waved her hands, "Never mind doesn't matter, When does she wanna meet?" Tara asked,

"Now,"

Tara sighs deeply pinching the bridge of her nose and then nods her head," Alright let's go," Tara walked back into the hotel room with Jax following her inside. Tara grabbed her clothes and walked into the bathroom closed the door behind her and got ready. After a quick shower and after getting dressed Tara looked at herself in the mirror for a moment, "Okay Tara just pull yourself together and everything will be fine," She convinced herself. Walking out of the bathroom Tara looked over at Jax and Abel, "ready?"

...

Walking through the door of the clubhouse Tara noticed Wendy was sitting at the bar, She exhaled deeply when she felt Jax's hand on her back, "I am alright."Tara walked over to Wendy, "Chibs said you wanted to mee here, How did you know that we were in Charming?" Tara asked,

"Gemma called me last night saying you guys were here and that Abel wanted to meet me finally, She also said that you accused her of being the reason I came to San Diego in the first place, But She had no idea I was there or that I was even looking for you guys either."Wendy said looking at Tara for a moment," I don't want cause trouble, Tara, I just want to meet my son." She said.

"He's right over there," Tara said looking over her shoulder and points were Jax and Abel was, Wendy gasps when she threw her hands against her shocked mouth, "My God, He has grown so much." Wendy slowly got up from the barstool and walked over to them, Tara followed behind, "Hi Abel," Wendy said with a small smile,

Abel looked up when he saw the woman in front of him, The woman he never met before until today, "Hello,"

Wendy sat across from Abel with a nervous smile, She wasn't sure what to say so she just said the first thing that came to mind, "How are you doing son?"

Abel just shrugged his shoulders," Honestly confused and I got a lot of questions. Like why did you abanded me fifteen years ago?" Abel asked,

"Abel you have to understand something and believe me when I say this. When I was pregnant with you I screwed up a lot. Your father and I weren't getting along and instead of dealing with it I solved my problems with drugs, The day you were born I was shooting up crank in my favorite vein which caused an emergency c-section, After a while, I went to rehab to get clean. But I never abanded you, son, For years I tried to get to know you but your father and mother felt it was best not to tell you about me," Jax just st there shifting in his seat,

"Yeah, mom and dad told me. But what I don't understand is why did you all feel it was right to keep something like this from me?" Abel asked. I mean did you guys didn't think I couldn't handle something like this?" Abel asked again,

Tara shook her head, "No baby that wasn't it all, We never told you about Wendy was because we didn't want to confuse you and we wanted to wait until you were little older, We should have told you and we are sorry for not telling you sooner," Tara said placing her hand over Abel's, Abel nods his head looking over his parents and then at Wendy, "I know you're my birth mother but my mom is the one who raised me and took care of me for fifteen years, Gave me a little brother who I love, My parents were always there for me all my life, I do understand you made mistakes and that you have learned from them, But none of that matters since Tara is my mom and she always will be,"

Wendy nods her head wiping tears from her eyes." I know that and I will never want to take you away from her, I just wanna have a chance to get to know you better," Wendy said with a smile and hope in her eyes,

Tara glanced over at Jax for a moment and then back at Wendy. " Maybe we can set something up to where Abel could come out here once a weekend and you guys can spend time together," Tara suggested, I mean that seems fair to me." Jax then nods his head in agreement," What do you think Abel?" Tara asked looking at her son with a smile,

Abel nods his head." It sounds like a good idea to me."

Wendy nods her head," Yeah I can live with that," She said with a smile. After their conversation walking out of the clubhouse. Jax and Abel walked towards the truck when Tara stayed back and looked at Wendy for a moment," You know at first I was against Abel wanting to meet you for most of the right reasons, But I knew that it wasn't about me, It was about Abel and what he wanted, "Tara said looking over her shoulder for a moment," Abel will always be my son Wendy but I am glad that he finally got to meet you," Tara said with a small smile,

"Thanks, Tara," Wendy smiled lightly, Tara just nods her head walking back towards the truck, Getting into the tuck closing the door, Tara looked over her seat and looked at Abel, "You doing okay son?" Tara asked,

"Yeah mom, I am fine, Can we get something to eat?" Tara nods her head buckling up," Yeah we can go to the diner before we head back on the road back home, Jax started the engine and drove out of the lot towards the diner for breakfast. A few minutes later pulling in front of the diner, Jax parked the truck and killed the engine, Hey Abel why don't you go inside and get us a table, We will be right in," When Abel got out of the truck and walked into the diner Jax looked at Tara for a moment," You okay?"He asked,

"Yeah, I am fine Jax," Tara said nodding her head,

Jax leans over and kissed her cheek, "Your amazing babe, I know sitting in that clubhouse with Wendy wasn't easy, "Jax it wasn't about me or us, It was about Abel and what he wanted. I don't know maybe because of my pregnancy nothing seems to bother me that much, it could be my hormones,"Tara said with a chuckle," Come one our son is waiting for us," Tara said climbing out of the truck and waits for Jax,
