*Forever and for always*
**I do not own any of the SOA characters as always they belong to Kurt Sutter. This is my take on a Happily Ever After for Jax & Tara. I will say that I am following certain things on the show but this story is completely my own! There will be things that happen in my story that did not actually happen on the show. I will warn you, I did not like Jax sleeping with girls behind Tara's back so that WON'T be happening in my story. Also I NEVER liked Wendy from day 1 I don't care how clean she got at the end what she did to Abel was un forgiveable so she will also NOT make an appearance in my story. Please leave a review & let me know how you like it so far J
Chapter 1- Trust within
Jax POV:
14 long lonely and cold months at Stockton without my family. I missed Abel's first words, his first time walking, and the birth of my second son Thomas. I didn't sleep an ounce last night; I just couldn't wait for the sun to come out. Knowing today was the day I get to go home to my beautiful wife and two sons I was too nervous to do anything. I was up and packed before the guard even came around to tell us to pack our shit. "Teller ya anxious to get the hell out of here" is all I heard when he came around to round us up. I'm nervous to see my sons; will they recognize me with my hair so short? Bobby said Abel will know exactly who I am without a doubt. Bobby was my life saver in this hell hole. He made sure I stayed in line and didn't do anything to jeopardize my freedom. As all of us were walking out the first person I seen was Opie. My best friend and person watching over my family. I'm glad he didn't get locked up with us, leaving my family with prospects was not okay with me but knowing my best friend was out there with them I was able to sleep easy at night. He'd protect my family just like I'd protect his without even thinking twice.
Our ride from Stockton to Charming was amazing. I never felt freer in my life. To be honest I just wanted to go home to my family but I knew they were waiting for me at the club house. As always there will be a huge 'Welcome Home' Party for all of us that were away. When we rolled up to the club house I've never seen so many bikes and people in my life. Even though there were hundreds of people the first person I seen was Tara. My beautiful Tara. I didn't even have a chance to get off my bike before her arms were wrapped around me. God, this was beautiful, to have her in my arms again felt like a dream. I kissed her hard not wanting to stop. She pulled back only for me to pull her back in. Her scent was so strong it melted my heart. I've waited 14 months to kiss her and now I didn't want to stop.
Tara's POV
When I heard the rumbles of the bikes coming down the street the smile on my face became huge. There we were all of us ole ladies waiting for our men to come home. I was standing next to Gemma & Lyla but could not contain myself I jumped into his arms. God how I missed him. What I really wanted to do was take him to his room and have my way with him but this party was for him and the guys so we could not even get away. I waited 14 months what's another few hour's right?
As the guys all piled into the clubhouse where there was plenty of crow eaters waiting and tons of beer. Clay of course called church. God they haven't even been home 10 minutes and already pulling the guys into church. Kozik got them up to date on the current events going on and what was happening the last 14 months. Thankfully it's been quite so after church the guys were able to spend time with everyone. As the night went on and people were coming and going it was time for Jax and Tara to leave. He couldn't wait to get home to his boys and more importantly to be with his wife. Gemma was not very happy with them leaving so early but Clay told her they would be heading out soon too so just let it go. The ride home was peaceful. Neeta was just getting done with cleaning the kitchen when Tara & Jax came in the door. Neeta hugged Jax, told him she was so happy for him to be home. She then kissed Tara on the cheek and left the love birds to their little family. Jax checked on both boys, sleeping peacefully he couldn't be happier to be home. When he got to the bedroom Tara was already in the bed wearing nothing but a SAMCRO t-shirt. He all about growled when he caught sight of his ole lady lying in their bed. They lay in bed for a good 10 minutes just holding one another being content with their arms wrapped around each other. Jax got up to go take a shower and Tara followed. This was what she was waiting for, to be in their home with their boys and do nothing but just be there. After the couple showered they sat up in the bed talking about the last 14 months.
Tara really wanted to tell him, almost slipped more than once but would he listen to her? Would he think she's just trying to get him away from his brothers and club or would he listen really listen to what she wants to tell him. That is what killed her the most. Not knowing how he would react to what she needs him to know. She was in her own world in her head, it was spinning, and she swore if it wasn't attached to her shoulders her head would be spinning on the floor like a box top toy. "Babe, what are you thinking about" Jax took her out of that foggy world and brought her back to reality. "Sorry baby" she kissed him. "I've just been thinking, you know how you didn't even have time to unpack from Ireland before going to Stockton?" she didn't wait for an answer "I picked up the duffle bag and was starting to do laundry but then a stack of papers fell out, they were from Maureen, she gave you the letters that JT used to write to her" her face went pale. Looking at his face made her think this was a mistake. "Tara the love letters he wrote to Maureen? Why the hell would I want them"? She sighed. Before she could say anything she just got up went to her purse and grabbed the bundle of letters. "Jax, they are not love letters. After you gave me your dad's manuscript I read the entire thing. The last 14 months I did nothing but read. Your dad's manuscript is amazing and what he wanted for the club is the best thing that could happen to SAMCRO. Baby that's your vision. You want to make SAMCRO legit. Like really legit. No more running guns. That's exactly what JT was trying to do before he was…" she sighed "before his accident, these letters her wrote to Maureen are more than love letters Jax, it's about what your father seen coming for you, for SAMCRO.." again, she sighed, was this a bad idea she thought! He hasn't even been home 24 hours yet but she just had to tell him. She couldn't keep it in. "Babe what you're going to read in these letters are going to hurt, like really hurt you. Everything you have thought about with Clay getting deeper and deeper into the guns, it's all going to make sense to you in a weird kind of way. Your father NEVER wanted this violence he wanted a brotherhood, that's what Piney wanted also. You have to read these letters babe, really read them and after you read them we need to talk. Like really talk Jax. These past 14 months made me think, I had nothing but time on my hands to think. After Donna died I seen something in you, like that you were done with the club, wanting to go NOMAD I knew something was up, I knew there was more than you were letting on, then that day Opie beat Tig and all Tig could say was 'I'm so sorry Ope' over and over again, I knew there something more to the niners killing Donna. Then you told me the truth and I lost it, we cried together and I was so ready to leave Charming and all the violence behind it, but babe these last 14 months had me thinking and leaving Charming behind is the furthest thing on my mind now. After reading these letters, I know what we have to do; I know what you and the club need to do. I just need to make sure you know what you and the club have to do." She was relieved, the look on his face showed her that he listened, he really listened to her. He grabbed the stack of papers and began to read them. She couldn't be happier.
