Just Three More Chapters left and this story will be completed. Also, I want to let everyone know that I am aware of the misspelled words and grammar. But I am trying to fix that. Sometimes I don't always catch it right away. But I'm trying not to make the same mistakes.
" Hey, Janet I thought we agreed not to overboard with the baby gifts?" Tara asked as she looked around the living room and noticed that there were a lot of baby gifts. Normally Tara wouldn't complain but this was too much. She's not even sure how's she's gonna be able to get everything home when this whole thing is over. Tara looked around the room for a moment as she was starting to feel overwhelmed with everything. She knows she agreed to let Janet throw this baby shower and Tara is very grateful for it and everything but Tara still can't help but think something bad is gonna happen and its gonna be like it was before,
" Are you sure she is gonna need all of this stuff?" Tara asked,
Janet nods her head" Tara this is your first daughter and yes she needs all of this stuff and yeah I know we did. But I just couldn't help myself." Janet said with a shrug and a smile." Besides most of them are all from a few friends of mine that I can't wait to introduce you to." Janet set the tray of food on the table when the doorbell rang." They are here." Walking over to the door Janet let a few of her closes girlfriends in. Tara was still staring at the crib and the bassinet when Janet walked over to her,
" Tara I want you to meet Diana and Kelly, Diana and Kelly this is Tara, She just moved to Portland about seven months ago," Tara shook both of their hands When Kelly was the first person to speak,
" How do you like Portland so far?"
" I love it, I mean it's a lot different then what I am used to, But that could be a good thing though," Tara said as she walked over to the couch and sat down, All the women gathered around and started to pass out the gifts over to Tara, Tara set her glass of ice tea on the table and picked up the first gift, When she opened the gift Tara gasps as she held it up.
" Oh wow this is beautiful," Tara said admiring the little dress that she got from Janet." Thank you so much, Janet," Tara leans forward and gave her new friend a hug, Janet nods her head returning the hug,
" Of course Tara, When I saw that dress I knew I had to get it," She said as she smiles softly," I hope to see your daughter wearing it on her first day home from the hospital," Tara set the dress on her lap as she nods her head,
" Don't worry she will," She said as she kept looking down at the dress, Tara then suddenly felt the tears coming down her face as she chuckles lightly and wipes them away," Oh man I promised myself I wouldn't cry but my emotions have been on overdrive lately," Tara said as she smiles and looks at all the girls," This is amazing guys, You guys barely know me and you guys went out of your way to do this for me,"
" Well from what Janet has been telling us about you, We wanted to do this," Diana said reaching over and squeezed Tara's hand," Any friends of Janet is a friend of ours too," Kelly nods her head in agreement," So Tara what made you move to Portland?"
" I got a job offer at Province Hospital here in Portland and its the job I always wanted, At first I wasn't sure if I wanted to take the job because for the past ten years well almost eleven, My family and I have been living in San Diego and we loved San Diego, But after talking to my husband we decided that moving to Portland was the right thing to do,"
" Your husband is Jax Teller right?"
Tara nods her head taking a sip of her tea." Yeah, he owns the Teller Auto Motive shop, That he just opened up a few months ago,"
"Yeah, I think my husband works for him," Kelly said leaning back against the couch. Tara nods her head."Your husband is Ryan?"
"Yeah." Kelly nods her head.
" Yeah, I think I met him when I went to the shop the other day to bring Jax and the guys some lunch."Tara was about to say more when she felt her cell vibrating against her leg. Taking her cell out she stood up.
"I will be right back." Tara stepped away from the group as she answered her cell "Hey Donna are you close?"
" Yeah, I am right outside."
"Okay, I will send Janet out." Tara hung up and walked back into the living room." Hey, Janet, that was my best friend Donna. She's outside and I think she might need help to bring stuff in." Tara said as she sat back down.
" Did she find the place okay?"
"Yeah, I think so," Tara said as she watched all her new friends head out to the front door to help Donna. When everyone came back in, Tara got up and walked over to Donna. She grabbed Donna and threw her arms around her best friend as she was excited and happy that Donna came all this way to visit Tara.
"God Donna I have missed you." Tara said as she pulled away from her and wipe her tears away." God Damn my hormones." Tara said as she chuckled lightly and hugged Donna once more.
"I have missed you too Tara." Donna than looks down as she placed her hands against Tara's stomach." I still can't believe you and Jax are gonna have a little girl." Donna said as she gasps and felt the baby kick."I think she's happy to see her aunt Donna."
Tara nods her head in agreement."I think so too." Tara than remembered then suddenly remembered that there were other ladies in the room." Sorry guys. Everyone is my best friend Donna Winston. Donna That's Janet, Kelly, and Diana."
For the next few hours, both Tara and Donna got to know more about Janet's friends and Tara was actually having fun at her baby shower. Tara pulled out her cell once again." I am gonna have Jax bring the truck. Just so he can handle the big stuff. There's no way we can fit it all in my car or yours." She said looking over at Donna.
...
"Babe, what is all this?" Jax asked as soon as he pulled back the bed of the truck opened. when he noticed the new crib and few things that the woman was bringing out.
" This is all the stuff for the nursery," Tara said as she walked over to Jax and threw her arms around his waist as she leans against him. She could smell the oil and grease that was coming from his shirt. But Tara didn't care she just wanted to be close to her husband right now.
"You doing okay?" Jax asked as he ran his hands up and down her back leaning down and kisses the top of her head.
Tara nods her head as she pulled away from him." Yeah, I am fine. Jax. Can you take the big stuff home?" I wanna stop by the store real quick and get pick something up to settle my stomach." Tara said placing her hand against her swollen stomach and rubs her hand up and down to calm her unborn daughter down and not to mention her nerves as well,
" Is everything okay? Is it our daughter?" Jax asked placing his hands' down against her stomach," Maybe you should just go back home and rest, I can stop by the store on my way back," Jax tugged her hair behind her ear when Tara nods her head softly,
" Yeah okay baby, I will go home, Just pick me up some saltine crackers that raspberry ice tea and my favorite ice cream?" She asked as she smiles softly looking up at him. Jax placed his hands against both sides of her neck resting his thumbs against her cheek tilting her head back so he can look into her beautiful green eyes, He smirks slightly leaning down and kisses her deeply and passionately, Tara moans softly against his lips wrapping her arms around his neck pulling him closer to him. Jax smirks slightly against her lips as he slowly pulls back,
"Hey, Donna?" Jax asked not breaking eye contact with Tara as he grins down at her,
" What's up Jax?" Donna asked when she closed the trunk of her car,
" Make sure my pregnant wife doesn't get out of bed for any reason, Well unless she has to use the bathroom, But other than that I want Tara off of her feet for the rest of the day," Tara groans as she rolled eyes for a moment, Tara always hated to be on bed rest, But with her giving birth in less of two months almost down to one her doctor has put Tara on mandatory bed rest,
" Jax I am not really that tired. Besides I am fine," Tara said pouting a little, Jax chuckled under his breath, He pulled Tara's face up and closer to him as he kisses her more deeply and passionately, Resting his forehead against hers,
" No more arguing you are going home and going back to bed, Whatever needs to be done the boys and I can take care of it," Tara nods her head as she knew it eas best not to argue with Jax right now, Jax grins and placed his lips on her forehead and kisses her lightly," Now get home and back to bed, I will make sure to pick up the things you asked for, I will be home in twenty minutes."
Tara got into her driver's side closing the door, Tara looked out into her review mirror and noticed Donna was right behind her, Tara had thought about riding back home with Donna and just leave her car in Janet's driveway and have Jax and Abel pick it up, But Tara decided against it she wanted to drive home, After she turned the engine over and buckled up Tara put the car into drive and drove home with Donna behind her,
