So it's been a while, sorry life has a way of getting in the way. With the end of the semester I should be able to up date more often and finish this story. Life has been crazy with work, school and kids. So I wanted to give you something until then, there is a lot in head with this story and as I write sometime it takes twist and turns I didn't expect. As always love your feedback and suggestions. Thinking about adding new characters

Chapter 8

Jax sat there for a second it total ahhhhh, a part of him could not believe that it was Gemma on the other end of the phone. Jax knew that Gemma was capable of a lot but as to go as far as to try have Tara killed. Jax was reminded of letters he read and Gemma part in JT death and with that he had no delusions that Gemma would do anything to get her way.

Gemma: "Tully, Tully, what the hell is going on?"

Jax: "Sorry mom, Tully is a little dead at the moment, good news Tara and the kids will be just fine. Hang tight Gemma, I'm on my way."

Jax hung the phone and Gemma knew her time being alive and protected by the MC was over and instant chill ran down her spine. She knew she had to run and now, she knew her son. How much he loved Tara and how family was everything. If there was ever something that Jax would kill her over it was Tara. Gemma instantly remembered the moment when she knew she lost her baby boy to Tara, when they were 16, it was in that moment she realized why she hated Tara, it wasn't about her trying to get Jax to leave when he was 19, or that she lied about being pregnant. It was that Tara replaced her in Jax's heart, she had a part of Jax, her baby boy Gemma could never have.

Jax ran his hands through his hair as he looked at his sleeping boys in the car and his thoughts drifted to Tara (What if Tully had succeeded, what if Tara had died, how would he had survived that). Jax filled Unser in on Gemma, and to Jax's surprise Unser told Jax to do what's best for his family and the club. Unser confessed that his love for Gemma had blocked his better judgement for a long time; but those days was over and he wanted to live the rest of his days in peace with Della.

Jax thoughts begin to drift as Unser was talking. Should I have left with Tara back? What would the club be like if JT had survived? Why didn't I just tell Opie and the guys everything right away, would he and Piney still be alive. Why did Gemma do this? How could she do that to JT, was the club worth it?

Jax never felt so lost than he did in that moment as he sat contemplating, he realized his hypocrisy, and he was no different than her. He put his needs before his family, he chose the club above all else. Now more than ever Jax was determined to change the club, to do what JT couldn't, to be a good man, a father and then a member of a bike club not an outlaw.

Jax called to have guys and prospects from Rogue River come to clean up and watch over Tara and the boys. He wanted to stay but he knew he would have to leave to meet with Lin and take care of his mother and juice. Jax called Chibbs to check in on Tara…

At the Hospital

Chibbs sat by Tara as she waited to be seen, as they sat there Tara hands and legs shake nervously. Chibbs noticing her fear and uneasiness reach out and put his arm around her while he put his hand over hers in an effort to ease her. As Chibbs reached out to Tara she begin to weep heavily.

CHibbs: "there there darling ya safe now. No need to cry, Jax is going to find out who did this."

Tara: "Is this going to be my life, no matter what. I left to be safe, and now look. My whole life has been one big freak show, from my dad to Kohn to this. I just wanted some peace, peace for my boys. I swore if I ever had a family, they would have the peace I didn't growing up. I don't wanna die like my mom and leave my kids."

Chibbs: I know you don't darling, you're a good mum. We won't let anything happen again

Tara: This wasn't supposed to happen, I left so this wouldn't happen. For the first time I felt normal no stalkers, no kidnappings, no fighting with Gemma.

At that moment the doctor called Tara in to get checked and Chibbs got the call from Jax.

Jax: How is she and the baby?

Chibbs: Jackie Boy, she is shaken up and she just went back to see the Dr.

Jax: I have rogue river coming to clean up, and to watch over them. So they will be safe, I don't want them coming back until this thing with Lin is over.

Chibbs: Think Lin was in on this?

Jax: No it was my mother, found Tully's cell phone. It ringed and it was Gemma. We gotta get back brother and take care of this. I want my family home and my club safe, I'm tired brother.

Chibbs: Aye, you might wanna she her before we take off, she was really shaken up.

Back at the House

Tara was checked out by the Doctor and everything was ok, she and her baby was okay. The doctor showed her the baby on the screen and gave an appointment to comeback in a few weeks to hear the baby's heartbeat. With relief Tara left the room and called Jax to let him know the baby was fine. Chibbs brought Tara to the house, where Jax had the guys cleaning up. Jax spoke with Unser, Tara and Chibbs and filled everyone in on Gemma. Jax assured Tara she and the boys would be safe and rogue river would be there until things settle down. Unser agreed to check in on her and the boys, since Della didn't live too far away. With Tara and the boys in her room sleep, Rogue river cleaning up Jax and Chibbs left. Unser was on his way back to charming as well, his conscious started to get the better of him about Gemma, so he called Nero to help.

Nero and Unser phone call

On the phone, Unser explained to Nero what happened and why he needed to get to Gemma before Jax did. Nero explained that he loved Gemma but couldn't get in the way of her and Jax, it had already costed him so much. Nero couldn't understand why Unser was calling, after all Gemma treated him worse than ever. Unser explained he had no misgivings about Gemma but thought she needed to in jail or exiled not given over to Lin or killed. Nero explained he sold his shares of Diousa and was leaving to be with his boy, he had found Wendy in a car crashed with a needle in her arm. She had been in the hospital for a week. He hadn't had a chance to tell Jax with everything going on. He just wanted to be with his son and leave all of this behind after he filled Jax in. He was taking Wendy with him and she had decided to terminate all her rights to Abel. She wasn't good for him and wanted him to have all the things she could give him. She had the papers drawn up and signed. He and Wendy wanted to start over in a new country, they were packed and on the road. He was stopping by diousa to talk to Jax and they headed out. Unser told him he understood and wished him well.

At Jury's

Gemma paced the room back and forth, thinking of what to do. She knew it was a matter of time before Jax showed up or before he called and filled Jury in. So she packed her things, and slipped out the window. She found a car and stole it, not knowing where she should go, she headed back to charming to pick up some things and then to see her dad before she left forever. She wanted to try and see Abel but she knew Jax would have Tara and the boys guarded like a fort. She thought about going to Nero but knew better.

At Lin's

Lin was growing increasingly impatient, though he gave Jax time to produce the people responsible for killing his wife and daughter, he thought he should send a message to ensure the MC would comply.
