Chapter 2

A part of Tara was happy Jax was so sad, maybe he felt how she felt when she saw him with Collette or the porn whore Ima. But a part of her was sad, she wanted Jax to leave with her, she wanted her whole family, her husband, the man she loved since she was 16. She wanted desperately to kiss him and hold him and tell him she would wait forever it that's what it took for him to leave.

Jax felt so defeated he had begun to accomplish everything the club needed with the charges gone from Tara and the club, The plan for Galen and Clay under way, while the club was free from the cartel. He could start moving the club in a different direction. He wanted desperately to beg Tara to stay but he knew she needed to go, if only for protection from what was about to go down and to see that Charming was where she and the kids needed to be. Jax ignored calls from Gemma, who caught win something was going on when Tara's case got thrown out. Jax and Tara put Thomas and Abel to bed, and begin to talk about their teenage years.

Tara: This is nice, I wish we could have done this more often

Jax: you say it like your never coming back, we will have our time. Babe I promise I am going to give you a beautiful life, where you and I are together. (Tara looked at Jax with tears in her eyes, wanting to believe him.) Tara I LOVE YOU

And for first time since being released from jail Tara said I Love you. With that Jax and Tara each let a tear fall and made love with what seemed like forever with the passion and tenderness they seemed to have lost over the last couple of months.

Tara and Jax sat outside holding each other in total silence, just like they did all those years ago when she left until finally Jax moved and to go to the club to ensure everything was ready to move Tara and the boys and the showdown with Clay and Galen in the next couple of days.

At Diosa Gemma paced up and down yelling at Nero,

Gemma: Jax is up to something I know, how he could help her she tried to take his kids, lied about a baby. He is not answering.

Nero: Jax is a grown man and Tara is his wife, they have to the out for themselves Gem.

Gemma: He is my son, my grandkids, my boys.

Nero: Gem, Jax aint no little boy and Tara is a good mother. I'm not saying what she did was right but mommie, she had a point.

Gemma: Fuck This, Where is Wayne

Gemma went looking for Unser and found him at his trailer. Gemma begins questioning Unser about Tara's case; however Unser insisted he didn't know anything. Gemma sensing Unser knew more than he was letting on. Gemma begin to say how concerned she was for Tara and how she wanted to make a amends with her until she kissed Unser eventually sleeping with him. Unser being in love with Gemma naturally spilled the beans and told Gemma all that he knew. Gemma in listed Unser help but Unser refused, sighting he didn't know what was next for Jax and Tara but it wasn't Gemma's place. Gemma bounced up and left. Unser knowing that he had just been played broken heartedly called Jax to warn him.

Gemma rushed over to Jax's house as Jax and Tara were packing the car.

Gemma: What the hell is going on here

Jax: Mom, calm down, this is between Tara and I. Just leave and I will fill you in later

Gemma: the hell I'm leaving Jax, what's all the bags for, where the hell do you think you going

Tara: Jax is not going anywhere, you happy, he is staying just like you have always wanted.

Gemma: Not talking to you Bitch

Jax: STOP IT, Tara and the boys are going to stay at Nates in Oregon until I can moved the club in a different direction. And then and only then will Tara in the boys come back.

Gemma: What the hell is wrong with you Jackson, you think she is going to come back, SHE lied about a baby, she tried to divorce you behind your back. She trying to pull you away just like before. She wont come back, That's my daddy house and you cant do nothing unless I say it's okay.

Jax: Gemma it's done, it's not your choice Ma. This is Tara's and I decision, whether you like it or not it's not up to you. Go home now ma

Gemma went to say something but stop when she saw the look in Jax's eyes. Everything in her wanted to strangle Tara right in that spot, how dare that bitch try to take my family. Gemma rushed home to find Wendy for help; however to Gemma dismay Jax had already gave the orders that nobody is to mess with he and Tara plans. Gemma stemmed at what was happening vowed that this wasn't the end as she ignore Nero's calls and began to drink.

Jax, Rat, and Juice all rode behind Tara as she drove to Nate's house in Oregon. Tig, Happy, Chibs and Bobby stayed behind to get things ready for Clay's prison break. Jax spoke with Galen and let him know everything was set the day after tomorrow. When they arrived at the house Juice and Rat took the boys to play while Jax and Tara brought the bags and toys in.

Jax: you sure your gonna be okay babe

Tara: yes, we will be fine. It will take some time but we get it together, I'm schedule to meet with Dr. Bolten tomorrow and begin work in two weeks. The Dr. office has a daycare so I can check on the boys and since it's not a hospital no more long hours, we will be in before dark everyday.

Tara and Jax joined Abel and Thomas at the pond by Nate's house.

Abel: Daddy look there is fish in there

Jax: I know buddy, maybe mommy can teach you how to fish

Abel: no daddy she is a girl (Tara laughed in the background while holding Thomas)

Abel: you can do it daddy, and I will draw mommy a picture.

Jax: (with tears in his eyes) maybe buddy but not now Daddy has to go to work a lot of people depend on me for my help.

Abel: Okay daddy, when I get home tonight can you tuck me in

Tara: Heyyy Abel remember I told you, me you and tommy are going to stay here for a while, so daddy can fix some things at the house.

Abel: is the house broken

Tara: no baby but it needs fixing so it can be safe for us to stay there.

Jax: Daddy's gonna fix it son, I promise

Abel: and then we can go home and eat cookies.

For the first time Tara realized her boys were going to miss Jax just as much as she was. Abel, Jax, and Thomas played for a while, ate dinner and then it was time for bed. Just like the day befor they put Abel and Thomas to bed and sat down to talk. Rat and Juice was outside in the rose garden while they talked.

Jax: I guess this is it for a while

Tara: I guess so, I will send pics everyweek.

Jax: that be nice, (in his mind Jax wasn't sure he wanted to constantly see his boys growing without him.) after this with Clay and the irish, promise you will come back

Tara: as long as it safe and if saint Thomas would rehire me.

Jax: screw the hospital, you can work anywhere, that wasn't our deal

Tara: Jax a part of the problem was, was me feeling I lost my self in that world. I use to love being a Dr. and some how that got lost. I love you more than you could ever imagine and those boys in there are my world but being a doctor is just as much a part of me as the club is a part of you. With that Jax understood exactly what Tara was feeling.

Jax leaned in to kiss Tara and bumped her head by accident, letting them both laugh in that heartbreaking moment. Jax kissed Tara and whisper I promised babe I am going to give you a beautiful life as they began to make love. Jax check in on the boys that were sleeping and left Tara asleep more determined than ever to change the club. ...

Jax parked at TM with a new determination, he didn't speak to Gemma but could feel her ice grill. Jax looked at the club house and new it was time to rebuild, take Clay out, ensure that Hale held up his in of the bargain with the work, and build Diosa and diosa 2. Just then Nero walked over to Jax.

Nero: good thing you did with Tara and the boys, I know it's hard but the right thing always is maino. Gem she will come around, if she don't well you know your mom.

Jax: yeah I do

Jax headed to Opie grave, he needed to talk, how he missed his best friend and even Piney.

Jax: Ope I wish you were here this struggle to be a good man is ever present, I wish you and Piney were here to say I'm on the right path. I love my boys and a part of me feels like Im letting them down. You were right Ope spending the day fixing yesterday toil is beginning to wear on me. I feel the chair corrupting me slowly.

Tara watched the boys play she missed Jax so much but watching her kids play without worry was a freedom she hadn't felt since she went back to charming.

Tara wanted to change the rose garden but a part her still feared Gemma and what she would do
