Jax walked in the office to talk to Chuckie. Jax offered Chuckie, Gemma's job at the garage with pay and room and board in the other apartment in the club house. Chuckie happily agreed (I accept that) stating he was an official member of the club and Jax's family. Jax smiled and said sure Chucky. Chucky stop Jax before he could walk out and asked him what was wrong with Gemma, was she leaving, why was he taking her job; Chuckie was very concerned because Gemma was his friend. Jax told Chuckie that Gemma was no longer welcomed at the club and that if he wanted to stay, work and be an unofficial part of the club the three he had to do was to listen to what he was told by Jax, always be truthful and never mention Gemma again. Jax told Chuckie that Gemma was no longer about of the family and that he was not to call her or mention her again. Chuckie accepted that even though he was slightly reluctant. Chuckie said okay boss I accept that. Jax told Chuckie if he needed anything that he could ask Piney. Jax walked back into the club and told the prospect to go see Margaret at the hospital and ask her help in planning Jax and Tara wedding for tomorrow.
Jax: Here is some money, I want it to be nice, ask Margaret for her help. There should be food afterwards. If it's not nice, well you know what happens when you mess up. And there should be flowers.
Jax sat at the head of the table and told the guys,
Jax: today I need you guys to help gemma get her shit out of the house. Three of us have to be here at all time to watch Clay. I have the prospects doing stuff for the wedding tomorrow. I am meeting Rosen here to get marriage certificate and to she if she can get word to Lenny through his lawyer to see if Otto will sit down with you and tell us why he gave up the club. Piney you two go way back maybe you can get him to change his mind. I will ask Rosen to see what she can find out about the case. The time and place is set for the guns and cartel in the next couple of days. I was thinking maybe we can help Hale get his Charming Heights built on the promise that he will give us the automotive business contract for the city. Guys we have to get moving getting Clay to play nice for the Irish will be a challenge and we can only keep it going for so long before Clay or Galen start asking question.
All the guys agreed and went to the duties. Tara walked around downtown Charming looking for a dress to get married in. A part of her was really wishing her mom was alive and even missing Gemma for this. She had always pictured he wedding to Jax but she never really picture what it would exactly look like or what she would wear. While walking she was passing this custom shop, when she had an idea. She walked into the shop ask the guy working if he could bind something for her in a leather cover and with writing on it. She wanted to bind and cover JT manuscript and Letter and put it in an encasement for Jax as a wedding present, so he could put it in the club. Tara was careful to watch the man as he bind the manuscript, so that the guy would not read any of it. Tara had to pay extra for it to be done today. Tara simply had the letters JT engraved on the front of the manuscript. As Tara walked out of the custom shop she looked across the street into this dress shop window, where she saw the perfect dress. It was simple and screamed Tara all over it. It was a cream modified cap sleeve, a lined lace dress, with illusion sweetheart neckline that flared out ankle length. It wasn't to flashy, not extremely formal but just enough to make Tara feel special Tara tried it on and it fit perfectly, just that quick Tara had found her perfect dress. Tara picked up a dress for Grace and matching plaid shirts for Abel and Thomas because she knew Jax would never wear a suit and would definitely have on her favorite plaid shirt for the wedding. After leaving the dress shop, Tara ran into Lyla who had been sent by Jax to help her.
Lyla: Jax said you might need some help.
Tara: yeah I really do, thanks
Lyla: So big day tomorrow, you nervous.
Tara: No, I always imagine that I would marry Jax. When I left I thought that dream had died but now with Thomas, Abel and Grace, I'm excited. I happy Jax wants this
Lyla: (started to tear up ) yeah, that sounds nice. Lets go to the shoe store
Tara: what's wrong Lyla
Lyla: me and ope, we are not getting along. This is not how I pictured marriage. I love Ope and the kids but he wants to have a baby right now but Im not sure I want that with my career and all. We already have three kids combined, I want to get to know Ope and enjoy marriage first but I scared to tell him.
Tara: Opie is one of the most understanding people I know, he is cool, leveled headed. You should talk to him Lyla, give him a chance. He really didn't have a mom, he was always the club until Donna. Donna death has been hard for him but you give him hope. Just give him time to figure it all out. He has been dealing with a lot.
Lyla: I just wish he would talk to me.
Tara: It takes a lot to trust someone enough take it from someone who mom died, dad was an abusive drunk and was alone to raise myself. When I met Jax, his life scared me and I knew I loved him just took me a while to open up.
Lyla: Okay, now lets find you some shoes.
Tara: call me crazy but I was thinking a cowboy boot. I mean I'm more of a scrub type a girl and I think heels would be to formal when most of the people at my wedding will have on cuts including Jax.
Lyla: your killing me, I wore heels.
Tara: how about a nice flat. I will be chasing Abel around and with Thomas and Grace crawling and starting to walk no doubt I will be chasing them to.
Lyla: deal.
Tara: Now I have to ask you to return a favor and be my maid of honor.
Lyla: I would be delighted.
Tara: so see you tomorrow.
Lyla: Bright and early, what kind of maid of honor would I be if I didn't help you get ready
Tara: (Smile) Okay thanks
Meanwhile the prospects enlisted Margaret's help with the wedding ceremony. Margaret suggest having the ceremony at Charming gardens now that it has been saved by the residents of Charming. The Prospects call Jax who agrees to let the ceremony be there. Jax tells the prospect and Margaret that the dinner or after party will have to be at the club house. Margaret agrees but informs Jax that she will help and attend the wedding but not the after party at the club house and that Tara would understand and know why. Margaret tells the prospect to get Tara a bouquet from the florist shop while she finds a minister to perform the ceremony and she would the after party to them. The prospect called crow eaters and assigned them to the task to make the food and Just married decorations. The crow eaters and girls of the club would have the job of cleaning clubhouse and hanging decorations. Back at Gemma's house, Gemma tearfully packed the things she wanted to take with her while tig, bobby and juice helped. None of them say a word to Gemma, though she tried to make small talk. There was a knock at the door and it was Unser checking to see if Gemma was alive and okay. As she packed Gemma whispered to Wayne and filled him in on what had happened and how Jax had banished her away from Charming.
Gemma: Jax won't listen to me Wayne, he doesn't understand. Damn Maureen for sending those letters, she has always wanted to see me burn. How could Tara give those letters to Jax after all I have done for her. I have been like a mother to her. They think Im just going to roll over and disappear, That's my family, my kids… Wayne, MINEEEEEEE
Unser: You mean your grown son and his and Tara's kids. I guess you have no blame in this huh sweetheart. You should just do as Jax says and maybe one day he will soften. Because the truth is we all had a part in this and Tara was doing what she felt was right.
Gemma: She has always wanted to take my son away from me, since she was nineteen. No Wayne she doesn't win. I need you to find Wendy and send her to me at my dad's house.
Unser: Darling, I am hanging on by a wing and pray. We are both lucky that Jax didn't put a bullet in the back of our heads. I Love you honey but I want no parts in this. I will visit you and give up dates on them but that the best I can do.
Gemma: You too Wayne, your going to trade on me. Bobby, Tig and Juice haven't said a word to me.
Unser: Yeah, me either. You haven't mention Clay.
Gemma: Well with all the shit he pulled with Tara, he made his own bed and he is going to have to lie in it. It's on him, all I care about is my family.
Unser: Really? I will see you, I have chemo and I have a feeling I will be in the chapel for a long time after that. Don't worry I will be up to see you, Hey maybe I can stay a while just me and you. Got nothing here.
Gemma: Don't bother, don't plan on being there for long.
The guys and Gemma loaded everything she packed into truck with movers. They pulled off to with Gemma and moving trucks to make sure she went to her dad's house. Unbeknownst to Gemma, Jax had instructed Juice to take Gemma phone and replace it with one with a tracker and to place a tracker in her car. He wanted to know if and when she ever tried to come close to Charming.
Back at the clubhouse Opie, Chibbs and Happy took watch over Clay so Jax could go home and prepare for the big day. Opie gave Jax a hug and said Don't worry Bro, Im here and together we are going to fix this club.
Jax: smile at Opie and said thanks Bro.
Opie: smiled and said now get out of here and go find some rings for your funeral, I mean wedding tomorrow.
Jax: Oh shit the rings, Jesus Christ…I have got to go…. Oh yeah BLOW ME (Jax and Opie begin to laugh hysterically)
Opie: No Bro seriously? I glad your marrying Tara and she came back. You need her. I thought when she left the first time, I was going to have to shoot your ass to bring you back to life. She is a part of the fit we need to see as we make these changes. I was struggling before the wedding and she helped me. So make sure you don't screw it up.
Jax: Yeah, I know… Thanks Ope we are going to do this.
Jax made his way to the jewelry store in town just before closing. He didn't know exactly what he wanted but he knew he wanted something simple to represent the new start he and Tara was about to embark on. He found to simple bands that were perfect for him and Tara. The man's band had the infinity sign engraved on it and the woman's band was made like the infinity symbol. Jax purchased them and made his way home. He remembered that Gemma had promised to give him, her and JT rings when him and Tara got married but under the circumstances he didn't want those rings. He wanted he and Tara to have their own rings, to make their own history and not to repeat their parents past mistakes.
At Gemma's dad Nate home, the movers, Bobby, Juice, and Tig settled Gemma in. Juice forced Gemma to hand over her phone and provided her with the new one. Bobby told Gemma that Jax was going to check to make sure she switches everything over to Nate's address, giving her no reason to return to Charming. Bobby assured her they had other charters watching her and then they left. As they pulled of Gemma begin to cry.
Jax walked in the house to find Tara and the kids in the living room, Tara was reading them a book as the kids wind down for the night. Abel and Thomas were nodding off but not Grace who looked up when she saw Jax walk in the door. In an amazing moment Grace stood up and begin to take her first steps toward Jax while calling daddy. Tara looked in amazement.
Tara: OMG, Jax look she is walking
Jax: I see her, come here princess come to daddy.
Tara: Since she walked to you, you get to put her to bed Daddy. I will get the boys. Tara went to wake to carry the boys one by one to their room to put them in the bed. Jax took Grace and rocked her til she fell asleep. Jax then walked in the room to find Tara in the bed about to go to sleep.
Jax: Hey there, I just got home and you going to sleep on me.
Tara: I wanted to get a good night rest besides isn't bad luck to see the bride the night before.
Jax: Tara I think with our lives and parents the usual rules don't apply. We already got four strikes against us. How did it go today?
Tara: Good, I found everything. Thanks for sending Lyla. I can't believe all of this Jax, we are getting married, the kids, and the club. It feels like yesterday I came back from Chicago never could I have imagine this.
Jax: Is that a bad thing, do you regret coming back? Do you regret being with me again?
Tara: Where is this coming from? Of course not, it hasn't been easy and I wish I had come back under different circumstances but no. You, the kids are my life, I wouldn't have it any other way maybe take out the porn slut and jail time. I can't say that I'm not afraid of this stuff with the club and I don't want it to hurt our kids. When I left, it was the most painful thing I have ever done. For a long time I blamed you for not loving me enough to live, it made it easier than missing you. I tried dating it didn't work. School and work was the only thing that help and I was really good at it. I always missed you Jax, I just thought our time had passed.
Jax: You are the best thing to happen to me, Tara. When I heard you came back, it felt like my heart could breathe again. I don't know how or why we are getting a second chance but we are going to do this right. I never blamed you for leaving, I understood what you had to do. I just always hoped you would come back. When your dad died a part of me was excited because it meant seeing you again. Looking at Grace tonight, I realized I don't want to miss them growing up Tara, I want to be here. But we can't get around all of this I'm terrified I won't be able to. Tara I don't want anyone else raising my kids but you and me.
Tara: Jax, don't talk like that. I have something for you. I was going to wait til tomorrow but you need in now. Tara gave Jax the encased leather bound copy of his father's journal and the letters.
Tara: Everytime you get lost or lose hope you will have this to refer to at the club. I think you will know where to put it. We are going to get through this, we deserve happiness. You have Opie, Piney, Chibbs and Bobby to see you through.
Jax: Thankyou for believing in me Tara. So I was thinking some new ink tomorrow. A ring tattoo and Mrs. Teller or Jax's old lady on your thigh.
Tara: I have a crow already.
Jax: Yeah and
Tara: and what will you be getting?
Jax: the ring too. Darling. Plus I have to save some room for the rest of our kids.
Tara: REST?
Jax: you wanted family babe, and I aim to please.
Tara: maybe just one more but that's my max and a dog..
Jax: detail baby details…
The next morning Jax woke up to Tara feeding the kids. Jax walked in the kitchen and ask Tara if she was ready for the day. Neeta arrived to help Tara dressed the kids for the ceremony. Jax helped dress the boys and was surprised when he saw they had matching plaid shirts. Tara dressed Grace, right then Lyla arrived to help Tara prepare. With the kids all dressed Jax left the house and went to the club to check on things. At the club house all the guys met to discuss they progress they made so far. Bobby, Tig and Juice assured Jax, Gemma was all moved in and the trackers on her car and phone was in place. Piney shared his conversation with Otto.
Piney: I talked to Otto but couldn't say much because I didn't know what or if he was being watched or had a wire. What I gather is that the DA gave him proof that the club didn't killed that porn guy who killed Luann. He thinks the club failed him after all he has done for us inside and all that it's has cost him. He doesn't want anything more to do with the club.
Bobby: Hey guys this is my fault, I have a confession. Since we are being truthful I want to come clean. I found out that Luann was skimming money from the club for years with her porn business and confronted her about it. But she started sleeping with me for my silence in the agreement she would pay all the money back and I knew the prison clause meant I could do it. After DA told Otto and I went to see him, I apologized. After we met with Georgie and we decided not to kill him. When I met with Otto, I didn't have the heart to tell him we needed to keep Georgie alive for a while, so I lied I never thought he would find out. Sorry Boys.
Tig: You know what man, we have all made mistakes lately, we just have to find a way to change Otto minds. One more thing I gotta ask, so porn queen did she like live up to her title. I mean I saw the movies, did she do that thing with her tongue, wait no don't tell me I just want to picture it.
Jax:Now that Tiggy is hard, he is right we got to find a way to make this right for Otto starting with taking care of Georgie tonight. Bobby, Ope, Tig your on it. That explains the past but in order for them to use RICO they would have had to know something about the cartel…. We got to find that out (juice immediately gets scared but doesn't come clean).
Chibbs: Jackie Boy, me, Jucie and Piney are on Clay tonight. You be with your family after the wedding.
Happy: Speaking of porn, with Georgie gone all those girls are going to be out of work, seems like we should go back to the porn business. It's legit.
Jax: Sounds great, lets voted it. Everybody agree say I (all in agreement). Just then Chuckie walked in the room
Chuckie: Hey boss, there is a guy here to see you, says his name is Nero and he was sent by Alvarez for some help.
All the guys got up and went outside to see this guy Alvarez sent. Sitting at the picnic tables all the guys look at Nero and waited for him to speak.
Nero: Hey, you Jax
Jax: Yeah, I am now the question is why would Alvarez send you and not call me
Nero: Man, he dealing with some crazy shit right now with his business Mano, so I guess that he didn't call and couldn't help me.
Jax: why do you need my help
Nero: So I am help men finds dates with lovely ladies. But one of my girls got caught helping her date by his wife who is a vice cop and now the arrested my girls and seized all my property. Me and Alvarez go way back since Chino mano and he has needed dates for time to time, so he said that maybe you could help me.
Jax: so you're a pimp
Nero: A companionater
Tig: I love it…..
Juice: of course you would
Jax: what do you need from us
Nero: help getting a place maybe some protection. Everything is legal man, I pay taxes, treat my girls well.
Jax: sounds like we just found another business gentlemen. Say we help you, we want equal partnership and we will fund the building an start up process. Plus we have some very nice girls you could add to your roster. We will also need to use a part of the space for our recently revamped porn business.
Nero: You serious, I mean I like it and all but I aint about you guys kinda of life anymore. I'm doing this because I have an end game, in mind. Could you guarantee this business would affect your other interest?
Jax: Hey, I can. I have to perfect spot and the perfect person to ensure we get it. I may need a little help. DO you have any ladies that wasn't already ladies? (The guys all look at Jax)
Nero: Deal and yeah but it's going to take a day or two for her to be available.
Jax: Perfect, be here tomorrow I will have everything we need to start but today I have my wedding.
Nero: Okay, thanks Tomorrow then, in the mean time I will search for the special lady you needed.
Jax: let's go, don't wanna be late and Tara kills us all… Prospects and Chuckie please make sure everything is okay here. Guard that one apartment with your life.. Noone in and no one out. We should be back in an hour.
Jax and the boys arrived at charming gardens, where Margaret and the priest awaited them. Opie poked fun at Jax, while they waited for Tara, Lyla and the kids to arrive. The spot in the garden was beautiful, it was filled with mix colors of flowers, grass, bushes on all sides, with a stone path leading to wear Jax and the guys was standing. Jax stood there in navy blue jeans and navy plaid shirt, his cut and a new pair of white air forces. Margaret made a beautiful wedding arch as a gift that was made from tree bark and lace with all white flowers. Margaret also brought a stereo and had a mixture of light wedding songs and soothing sounds plays to set the tone. Neeta came down first to help guide her dog wearing a flower crown down the aisle who was pulling a little red wagon decorated with flowers that had Abel (wearing dark blue plaid shirt and light jeans and white sneakers, Thomas (in the same outfit as Abel) and Grace (in a navy blue dress and navy shoes, her pretty dark hair had a bow in it) in it as savage garden "truly, madly, deeply played lightly in the background. Neeta had spent most of the day yesterday making her golden retriever practice it. Margaret took pictures of everything as a keep sake for Tara. Jax smiled as he saw the kids come down the aisle. Lyla was next who decided to wear a short yellow dress for the occasion came down. As Sade "No ordinary love" begin to play Tara walking with piney at her side came down. As Tara walked down Jax was taken back by how beautiful Tara looked. Tig whispered looking good Doc as Tara walked past. Tara and Jax exchanged vows in front of everyone and both shed a tear at their happiness. Tara was amazed at the beautiful rings Jax picked out. Chibbs even said a few after the priest was done. The ceremony was beautiful and simple, just right for Tara and Jax. Margaret told Tara she would have the pics printed and put in a book for her as a gift. Tara thanked Margaret and told her she was one of the best things besides being a surgeon at St. Thomas. As everyone loaded up to go back to the club house Jax whispered in Tara ear remember when I told you we would have a good wedding to make up for prom. I keep my promises. Tara laughed and hit Jax when she remembered the mess of prom when they were teenagers.
Back at the club house everyone celebrated Tara and Jax's wedding. Bobby, Opie and Tig disappeared to take care of Georgie. The rest talked about the plan to get for the new space for Nero business and porn. While discussing how to get Clay to stay in line at the gun meet in two days. Jax watched Tara play and dance with the kids. Chibbs and Piney checked on Clay giving him water and food and letting go to the bathroom. Happy reminded Jax that someone had to clean Clay and the room as he was starting to stink. Jax made to prospects do it while Happy and Juice monitored. As Unser passed by the club he asked one of crow eaters what was going on, she replied Jax and his old lady got married. Unser called and told Gemma who was sadden by the news in part that she could be there and in part because she was still mad at Tara for giving the letters to Jax. As the day went on Happy set up his tattoo gear in the other apartment so Tara and Jax could get there ring tattoos. Tara got her ring finger done and happily added an two hearts with an infinity sign with Mrs. Teller on top on her ankle at Jax's request. Jax got his ring finger done. Jax and Tara left the club to take the kids home because the next few days were going to be busy.
At home Jax and Tara put the kids to be, who were totally worn out for the day's festivities. Jax took his time taking Tara dress off as they begin to make love on and off all night. Jax told Tara about the new ventures of the club and though she wasn't happy anything was better than drugs and guns. Tara admitted she feared Jax being around the girls but Jax reassured her. And for a few hours everything else that they face and that happened didn't matter because they were happy.
Next up more Tara and Jax and the club. Of course you can see that I am changing the certain troubles the club faced because I have always thought if everyone would have been more honest they could have gotten themselves out the messes they got in. So look for Juice to confess I am not sure whether the club will accept it or not), and of course Gemma to be Gemma. I also want to show how will take her place as queen but of course not in the way that Gemma did. As I write the club getting out of the guns and Cartel I also want to show how though they all thankful to be free of cartel, a little part of them miss it. And look for more family oriented stuff, Kerriann and fionna, I plan on Bobby son to prospect. Happy and Unser daughter Winter to get it on. If you have any ideas please let me know.
