Walking out into the living room after her shower and getting dress. Tara heard a knock as she was about to walk into the kitchen. Walking towards the door and looking through the peephole, she noticed Chibs was standing outside her door. She then reaches for the doorknob and turned it as she opened the door." Hey, Chibs." Tara says as she lets him in." Jax should be coming out soon. Want some coffee?" She offered as she closed the door and headed towards the kitchen.
" Yeah, thanks." Chibs says as he followed Tara into the kitchen." How are things going at your store?" Chibs asked as Tara handed him a cup of coffee.
" Things are going good so far." Tara says as she takes a sip of her coffee." The girls working there is doing an amazing job." Tara stopped for a moment as she started to think of something." Can I ask you something?"
" Sure, What's on your mind?" Chibs asked as he set his cup down on the counter.
" Well, do you think I am doing too much?"
" What do you mean?" Chibs asked as he brought his brows together in confusion.
" Well, here I am, a doctor, running the office, being your guy's club queen, taking care of my family, and now I just opened up my own store. So, I am asking you, do you think I am doing too much?" Tara asked. Of course, she thought of asking Jax this question but of course, she ended up asking Chibs instead.
" Tara, you've done more than most old ladies can't do. You've even sacrificed your job in Oregon to stay here with Jax and us. So, no I don't think you're doing too much." Chibs says honestly.
" Thanks." Tara says with a small smile as she set her cup down in the sink." I am gonna go see what's taking Jax so long." Tara says as she walked past him and out of the kitchen, heading towards their room.
A moment later Jax came into the kitchen, Hey your here kinda early brother." He said as he walked over to the coffee machine and grabs the pot and pours himself a cup of coffee.
" Aye, I came over to talk to you for a minute,"Chibs responded as he took a drink of his coffee.
" Okay, What's up?" Jax asked as he took a drink of his coffee as he leans against the kitchen counter.
" What was going on with you yesterday?"
Jax raised his brow for a second as he shrugged his shoulders." What are you talking about?" he asked as he was trying to figure out where Chibs is trying to go with this conversation.
" Come on, are you really going to stand there and pretend you have no idea what the hell I'm talking about?" Chibs asked with a scoff as he shook his head." Wow, Jackie boy. Alright, yesterday Opie did all the talking with Barosky, while you just looked like your mind was somewhere else." While Opie was talking business with Barosky, Chibs noticed Jax had totally zoned out which isn't like him.
" What you want me to say? I had a lot on mind." Jax says as he finished his coffee and set his cup down on the counter.
" Bobby is worried about you, we all are actually."
" Bobby is always worried. But I am fine, there's nothing to worry about." He said as he walked out of the living room and grabbed his cut off of the hook. He looked over as he noticed Abel and Tara walking out into the living room.
" Hey, little monster." Jax says as he picked Abel up after he put his cut on." You ready for school little man?" Jax asked with a grin.
Abel nods his head." Yeah, I am. I am gonna make something for grandma in art class today." He says with a huge smile on his little face." Do you think she'll like it?"
Jax looks over at Tara for a moment as he nods his head as he looks at Abel again." I think whatever you make for grandma, She's gonna love it, buddy." Jax says as he gave him a kiss on his forehead as he sets him down on the floor.
" Hey, Abel, why don't want you to wait for me outside, okay?" Tara asked as she ran her hand down his hair as she looks down at her son.
" Okay mommy," Abel says as he ran out the front door and towards her car.
Jax raised his brow for a moment as he looks at Tara." Now he wants to make something for grandma?" He asked as he stepped closer to her.
" While I was getting him ready for school, he kept asking when he can see her again. I didn't know what to tell him. So, I suggested that he could make her something." Tara says with a shrug.
Jax chuckled lightly as he placed both hands against both sides of her neck." I love you, you know that right?"
" Mmmm, you better." Tara says as she leans up and kisses him passionately and deeply." I will see you at the clubhouse later." She says as she pulls away from him and walked out of the front door.
Chibs came out of the kitchen a few seconds later." Hey, listen, Jackie, I don't know what's going on with you. But I want you to know that I'm always gonna be there for you, we all are. So, whatever is going on with you, you don't have to deal with it alone."
Jax nods his head." Thanks, brother, I really appreciate that." Jax says as he gave Chibs a friendly slap on his back as he walked out of the front door with Chibs following right behind him.
After working a few hours at the hospital, Tara decided to check in on the store before going over to the clubhouse. Getting out of her car and walking up to the storefront door, she noticed a familiar face. The face she last expected to see in her store. Tara sighs heavily as she pushed the door opened and walked over to the counter." Hey, how long has she been in here?"
" For about two hours. She kept on insisting on talking to the owner." Molly says with a shrug." Who is she?"
" Just an old friend of the family." Tara responded with a shrug as she walked away from the counter and towards the woman." Wendy." Tara says as she stood behind her.
" Oh Hey, wis there somewhere can we talk?" Wendy asked as she could feel eyes on her and she didn't want to have this conversation in front of everyone and they were making her feel very nervous for some reason. Tara nods her head as she also didn't want to have this conversation out in the open as well.
" Yeah, come on we can talk in here." Tara says as she leads Wendy towards the storage room. Once they were inside and Tara closed the door behind them. Tara walked over to her desk and set her purse down." So, what is this all about Wendy?" Tara asked as she crossed her arms over her chest. She already knows what this is all about and she already knows who was behind this. She ain't stupid.
" Abel's birthday is coming up, and I was hoping I can-" But before Wendy could finish what she wanted to say Tara scoffed as she cut her off and shook her head.
" Your hoping to see him or even spend time with him?"Tara snorts as she drops her arms down to her side." You do know that's never gonna happened right?"
" Then, when? You and Jax can't keep me from seeing my own son or even having the chance to get to know him either, and you guys can't keep Abel from getting to know me as well. Sooner or later Abel is gonna know the truth. Look I am not asking to raise him or anything. I just want to have a chacne to get to know my son and be apart of his life." Wendy doesn't want to take Abel away from the only mother he knows or from his father, Wendy just wants to be in her sons life one way or the other.
Tara sighs deeply as she pinched the bridge of her nose. A very small part of her kinda feels bad for Wendy, but a huge part of her knows if they tell Abel the truth about Wendy now, it's gonna confused him now and that's the very last thing she or Jax even wants right now." Wendy, you nearly killed Abel when you gave him birth to him and that betrayal still stings, and Jax still won't let that go." Tara says bluntly." It's gonna take a long time for Jax to even consider lettng you go anwhere near our son."
" Yeah, I know. But can't you at least talk to him about it?"
" i can try but I am not gonna make any promises though." Tara says with a shrug,
" Thanks Tara. just let me know what he says by the end of the week." Wendy says with a not as she walked towards the door of the storage of the room and pulled the door open. Before she walked out she glanced over her shoulder." I just hope don't go through the pain I am going through." Wendy says as she turned around and walked out of the storage room closing the door leaving Tara with a very confused look on her face.
Tara sighs heavily as she leans against her desk and ran her fingers throiugh her hair. She then suddenly jumped when she felt her cell viberating against the back of her pocket. Without seeing who was calling her. She just answered the call." Hello?" But all Tara could hear was hard breathing coming from the other end of the line.
" Hello?" Tara asked again. But still nothing." You know what? I don't have time for this bullshit." Tara says as she quickly ended the call and walked out of the storage room and back towards the front of the sotre." Hey, I gotta go and take care of something. Can you girls close up tonight?"
" Of course, is everyting okay?" Molly asked.
" Yeah, everything is fine. I will talk to you girls later." Tara says as she walked out of the store and got back into her car. Backing away from the sore, Tara turned the wheel and headed towards the clubhouse. How the hell is Tara supposed to tell Jax about her conversation with Wendy and now she can't help but wonder who the hell that was at the other side of the phone. She just hopes they forget about her and don't call back.
