Hazing Chapter 7

A quick update. Hope you guys enjoy.

Jaotvdspn1994: Yes Jax is really sprung for Nina. However I think he is really torn. We all know Jax is a good man but his environment can bring out the worse in him. I think having Nina will bring out the good in him but the worse at the same time as he will do anything to protect his family…all of his family.

Liddyville2012: Updated….hope you enjoy.

APeaceofPie4Everybody011: I'm working on bringing the chapters sooner….. Yes Tyler and Jax did meet at the bar. I just did not write a scene for that meeting. I did mention what terms they agreed upon.

NatalieLynn: Yep Jax has found himself in a pickle. We shall see where he lands. We do know he loves his boys and still loves Tara so this will be very interesting to see where he lands in all this.

India: My dear…here is more….

Mangoskin93: Thank you for your honest opinion. Adultery is a touchy subject and I agree Tara will have just cause to raise straight hell when she finds out. Nina knew Jax was married and in a sense knew what she was doing…..I do not think she would imagine she would be in the position she is in now and being young can't seem to understand she has a place….and it is a place that she put herself in. We shall see what it in store for her and the Tellers.

Harlow Rayne: Hey Harlow! I am glad you are enjoying the story. Yes being young and pregnant can bring about all kinds emotions….especially being with child with a married man. I had my son at 24 and I was married and still terrified so I can just imagine how one would feel at 21 or even younger. Thanks for sharing.

Reapergirl20141: I am so glad you love the story. I hope she has a girl too. The Tellers need a little girl.

Nina stayed in the bed most of the next day. She was trying to fight the feeling of depression. She ignored most of her calls except her parents. She did not want them worrying about her and rushing over. She did not want to see anyone. As usual, she was waiting for Jax to call. She just wanted to hear his voice. Later that evening she slowly crawled out of bed to busy herself around the house. The baby was super active and was keeping her up where she could not fall back to sleep. After cleaning a little, straightening her bookshelf and watching a movie on Netflix she crawled back into bed. She looked at her phone. Still no Jax. She looked at her phone and decided she would text him.

Jax felt his cell vibrate in his pants pocket. He switched Thomas to his other arm as he dug out his phone. Thomas had gave him and Tara quite the scare last night as his fever would not break and the doctors did not understand why. They were finally able to get the fever to break and they just got home that evening. Jax sent Tara to bed as she was exhausted and he stayed up with the boys. Jax smiled when he saw his text.

Everything ok?

It was from Nina but he put the name Nick in his contacts just in case Tara got to his phone.

Yes. Will call you later.

Jax put his phone down and pulled Thomas closer to his chest to rock him to sleep.

Nina sighed and put her phone down. Now how long will she have to wait for him to call? She didn't have long to wait as he called about thirty minutes later.

"Hey beautiful." He whispered into the phone when she answered.

"Is your son ok?"

"Yes he's fine." Jax said before taking a drag of his cigarette. While everyone was asleep, he went and sat in the back yard with a glass of Jack Daniels.

"Why are you whispering?" Nina asked sitting up in bed.

"I'm out in my backyard."

That was explanation enough for Nina.

"I miss you." Jax whispered.

Nina closed her eyes. That was what she needed to hear. Just those three words made her long, lonely day worth it.

"I miss you too."

"Are you and the baby doing ok?"

"We're fine. Just wish you were here." Nina said rubbing her stomach.

Jax sighed as he wanted to be with her too but he could not leave his family now.

"Give me a couple of days and I will come see you."

"A couple of days? You can't stop by tomorrow?" Nina asked upset.

"I can't right now. Do you need anything? I can have Bobby drop off anything you need."

Nina shook her head upset.

"I'm fine." She snapped. She tried not to snap at him but she was so disappointed. She had thought she had come to terms that she would not see him often but it still hurt when he was not around. Hearing how upset she was Jax promised to make it up to her. He didn't know how he was going to but he had to try.

"Is this how it's going to be Jax?" Nina started to cry.

"Baby don't cry….you know I come and see you every chance I get."

"It's not enough…..I need you Jax." She said between sobs.

Jax closed his eyes and let out a heavy sigh. He felt bad, as he hated when she was upset. He just wanted to make her happy but he was just one man. He could not be in two places at once.

"Nina….I am doing my best here." He told her stubbing out his cigarette. As Jax tried to calm Nina down, he didn't hear the sliding glass door to the backyard open.

"I promise I will see you in a couple of days. I don't need you upset and back in the hospital." He told her.

"Who are you talking to?" Tara asked walking up to him looking perplexed. Jax looked up at Tara and successfully hid his look of surprise at her presence. He wondered how much of his conversation she heard.

"I have to go. I will see you in a couple of days." He told Nina again and snapped the phone shut.

"That was one of the presidents of one of the charters. He just got out of the hospital from a mini stroke and I'm going to see him in a couple of days."

Tara sat in the patio chair beside him.

"I'm sorry to hear that. Where will you be going?"

"Indian Hills."

Tara nodded her head. She hated when he went out of town.

"Are you coming to bed?" she asked standing up with her hand outstretched to him. Jax got up and took his wife's hand.

Nina looked at her phone in dismay. Did he just hang up on her? She thought she heard a voice in the background and she assumed it was Tara. That had to be the reason he was so abrupt with her. Nina fought the urge to throw her phone against the wall. Instead, she slammed the phone on her nightstand and rolled back into bed.

The next morning Nina crawled out of bed and decided she was not going to sit in her apartment anymore. She was going to go stir crazy if she did not get out. She looked in her fridge and cabinets and made a list of foods she needed and headed to the local grocery store.

Nina looked at all the bags in her car. Maybe she should have not gone to the store hungry. She picked up several bags to lug into her apartment when she noticed Jax's mom pull up in a Cadillac Escalade and park next to her. Yep just as Nina thought she was not going to listen to Jax.

"Should you be carrying all those bags?" Gemma asked as she got out of the SUV.

"I can handle it." Nina said as she grabbed a few more bags.

"Let me help you." Gemma said as she reached into Nina's car to grab the rest of the bags.

"I don't need your help." Nina snapped.

"Yes you do sweetheart." She said shutting the car door. Nina sighed and walked toward her apartment with Gemma in tow.

Nina stopped in her tracks when she saw a vase with a dozen roses sitting in front of her door. Nina hands was to full to pick it up. She sat some of the bags down and opened the door to her apartment. Gemma grabbed the roses with her free hand. As Nina sat the grocery bags on the counter, Gemma sat her bags and the roses on the counter and grabbed the tiny card sticking out the roses.

"Gemma what are you doing? That is for me." Nina said trying to grab the card from her hands. Gemma backed up from Nina's reached and opened the card.

Thinking of you-JT.

"It's from my son." She said finally handing her the card. Nina smiled when she read the card. "I think we got off on the wrong foot Nina."

You think? Nina thought as she placed the roses in the center of her coffee table in her living room. Nina walked back into the kitchen where Gemma stood.

"I didn't mean to upset you and put you in the hospital." Gemma said as she watched Nina began to unpack her groceries.

"I'm fine now." Nina said putting milk in the fridge. Gemma grabbed a bag and began unpacking for Nina. They worked in silence except for a few directives from Nina on where to put groceries.

"I was wrong to threaten that I would have you beaten up. You are carrying my grandchild and I would never do anything to put the baby in danger." Gemma said as they both sat on the couch.

"You still think I am a slut?" Nina asked as for some reason she wanted this woman's approval. She was Jax's mom and the baby's grandmother.

"No. I do not. I think you are just young and naïve. I can see how someone your age could be enamored with my son as he is quite charming. I'm just worried about how all this will play out."

Nina touched her stomach as her baby started to become active. Nina took Gemma's hand and placed it on her stomach.

"You feel her?"

Gemma smiled as what felt like the baby's foot kicking her palm.

"She is a hyper little baby."

"You think it will be a girl? Jax thinks he will have another boy."

"No this is a girl. I can feel it. Why haven't you found out the sex yet?"

"I went for an ultrasound but she was turned around and we couldn't tell the sex. I go again in a couple of days."

"Will your mom go with you?"

"No she has to work."

"I can go with you." Gemma said

'Oh no. I can't ask you to do that."

"Nonsense. I will pick you up and take you there. Just don't tell Jax about my visit right now. What time is your appointment?"

"Two o'clock."

"Jax still paying the medical expense?"

How did she know that?

"Yes."

"Even the hospital bill? That will be pretty high."

"I'm still on my parent's insurance and they used their insurance for the hospital bill."

"How did they think you were paying for the OB visits?"

"I told them I was paying with the money I saved for school. They told me the other day to bill their insurance but Jax is insistent about paying the expenses."

"Jax is a good man. I just do not want this situation to cause him to lose his family." Gemma put her other hand on Nina's stomach as the baby continue to kick and move around.

"He won't lose his family. She will never find out." Nina said as she put her hand on top of Gemma's.

"See that is how I know you are naïve. A secret this big will always come to light sweetheart and you need to prepare yourself."

Nina sighed she hope Gemma was wrong. She did not want to lose Jax. Gemma stood up.

"I have to go but I will pick you up Friday at one o'clock."

"Ok." Nina said getting up to walk her out.

She knew it was better to have Gemma on her side than not.
