Author's Note: Thank you for all of the reviews, favorites and follows! It means the world to me you all take the time to read this. And for Guest - You're probably correct on the attempted murder charge. However, David is a lunatic and has a lawyer that is a scum-ball. But to clarify a little now, David's lawyer is fighting the attempted murder charge, but things will be explained further in upcoming chapters so hopefully it will make a little more sense.

Oh. Has anyone read any good Tig/OC stories? Let me know!

Jax had decided to not bother Quinn too much since she had invited him over to dinner with her and Gavin a couple of days ago, but it didn't stop him from texting her off and on. He still felt extremely bad for not budging on wanting to know what had happened after he saw the pictures by accident. It didn't change the fact that he enjoyed talking to her and wanting to get to know her more, and he had managed to apologize more to her than he had in his entire life.

While he was working his mind kept drifting to the brunette. He had gotten off work earlier than usual yesterday and had his best friend Opie come over to help him with some stuff around the house. Opie had been taking out some old furniture that Jax had replaced when he spotted the brunette lounging around the pool and pointed it out to Jax.

When Jax had looked out his kitchen window and into Quinn's backyard, he swore that his breath caught in his throat when he saw her. Her long hair was tied into a tight bun at the top of her head with black ray ban sunglasses covering her eyes. Her normal olive skin was glistening and the black two piece bikini was hugging her curves. Jax swore that he didn't realize just how large her breasts were until there was barely anything covering her. His eyes scaled down her chest to her flat toned stomach to see the curves of her hips and watched as she turned to face the pool and noticed that the bathing suit bottom barely covered the bottom of her apple shaped bottom.

"Jesus..." Jax breathed out and ran a hand over his face and didn't even notice that Gavin was looking in his direction until Opie began to laugh. He quickly realized that he had been caught when Gavin looked at him and then said something to Quinn, causing her to turn around and look over her shoulder and smirked before she dove into the pool.

"Looks like you've been caught brother." Opie laughed and Jax turned to glare at him, "That the girl you were telling me about?"

Jax gave him a nod in response and earned a pat on the shoulder from Opie before they went back to what they were doing.

The blonde haired man shook his head from his thoughts as he finished up working on the car before he took a lunch break for the day. He felt his phone vibrate in his pocket and knew that it was Quinn texting him back and pulled his phone out.

Gemma Teller Morrow had noticed her son spending a lot of time on his phone during the past couple of days, and had noticed that whoever was texting him was starting to bring out an unfamiliar smile. She had also noticed that if he wasn't doing something for the club or working in the garage he didn't hang around much for the club parties and realized that someone had caught his interest.

Furrowing her eyebrows, the queen walked away from the office window and followed her son towards the parking lot, knowing that he was taking lunch.

"Jackson." Gemma called out to him and watched as he stopped and turned around to look at her.

"Yeah Ma?" Jax questioned.

"Want to go grab some lunch?" Gemma questioned, hoping that she would be able to get some answers out of him on who he had been spending his time with.

"I can't today. I'm meeting some friends for lunch." Jax responded and Gemma narrowed her eyes for a moment knowing that he didn't have friends outside of the club house, "I'll take a rain check though." Jax added as he got onto his bike.

Gemma shook her head and went back into the office to grab her keys, and decided to follow her son in order to see what he was actually up to. Once she had gotten into her car, she waited a few moments before pulling out of the parking lot in order to stay a few yards away from Jax.

The Queen was able to keep track of where Jax was going by the sound of his motorcycle and watched as he pulled into the local diner parking lot a few shorts blocks down. She had gotten stopped by a red light which gave her time to make it look like she wasn't actually following him. Once the light turned green, she went a block down and turned into the diner parking lot and parked a few rows away from the front door. She was able to see that Jax was still sitting on his bike while playing on his phone and a few short moments later watched as a brunette and young man approached him. Her eyes were glued to her son who greeted the brunette with a large smile and wrapped his arm around her and leaned down to kiss the top of her head.

"That little shit head..." Gemma grumbled to herself as she grabbed her purse as the three walked into the diner and waited a few moments before leaving her car to walk in to the diner to see who Jax's friends were.

Jax had just sat down in the booth with Quinn sitting next to him and Gavin sitting across from them as they began to look through the menus for lunch ideas. He knew that he was making a little progress on a dinner with Quinn since she had agreed to meet him for lunch when he had suggested it that morning since he knew that she was going to be busy packing for Cancun, and then would fly out in the morning.

"I don't know what to get..." Quinn commented lowly as she scanned the menu, "I only have ate here for breakfast. What's good for lunch?" Quinn questioned to Jax not taking her eyes off the menu.

"The chicken wraps are pretty decent." Quinn heard an unfamiliar voice and then heard Jax groan beside her causing her to look up to see an older woman standing at the table and instantly realized it had to be Jax's mom.

"Mom..." Jax sighed, "What are you doing here?" Jax questioned with narrowed eyes.

"It's lunch and since you had plans I figured I'd stop here to grab something." Gemma stated.

"Oh well do you want to join us?" Quinn questioned, "We don't mind."

"We do mind." Jax spoke up and Quinn elbowed him in the side and Gemma smirked towards her son.

"Are you sure sweetheart? I don't want to intrude."

Quinn shook her head no, "We don't mind at all. Jax is just being a jerk." Quinn joked towards the blonde haired man, and then watched as Gemma sat down next to Gavin across from her, "My name is Quinn, this is my brother Gavin."

Gemma shook the brunette's hand and then turned to look at the Puerto Rican man and shook his hand then turned back to Quinn, "Gemma Teller Morrow." Gemma introduced herself, "You two are brother and sister?" Gemma questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"Ma..." Jax hissed lowly causing Quinn to chuckle lightly.

"What?" Gemma hissed back, "It's just a question, they don't look anything alike." Gemma added.

"It's fine Jax." Quinn commented while Gavin was laughing lightly, "His parents adopted me when mine passed away." Quinn added and shrugged her shoulders.

Gemma gave a nod in understanding and glanced through the menu quickly before the waitress came to take their orders, and then waited until she left and turned her attention back to Quinn. The Queen had to admit that the woman was naturally pretty without an ounce of make up on and wondered how gorgeous she would look with it on.

"So how did you guys meet?" Gemma questioned as she took a drink of her water and glanced to Jax.

"She moved in next door." Jax explained, "The mail man gave her my mail by mistaken." Jax added and Quinn nodded her head in agreement.

"I figured it wouldn't hurt to be friends with a neighbor, especially not having anyone around here." Quinn commented.

"Oh, you don't live with her?" Gemma questioned to Gavin.

"No, as much as I love her I would kill her. She's too big of a neat freak for me." Gavin explained shaking his head, "I usually stay with her for a week or two and then fly back home." Gavin added.

While Gemma had crashed their lunch, she had decided to get to know the woman a little who had her son's attention. She could tell just by the way he looked at her while they were eating that he was starting to develope feelings for her. She hadn't seen Jax look at any woman like he had Quinn.

The older woman had to admit that Quinn was definately interesting and seemed to be a nice woman, but Gemma wasn't sure if Quinn had what it took to deal with the lifestyle Jax had. She knew that they were just friends after asking if they were dating and noticed how both of them squirmed with the question but played it off cooly.

Gemma had learned that Quinn traveled for work as a photographer and quite a bit if business was good. She knew that Jax wouldn't be able to handle the idea of his potential old lady traveling around the US by herself. Gemma knew her son better than he knew himself and was definitely curious to see how far he would take this new found friendship.

As Jax paid for the check for all for of them, Gemma noticed that Quinn had tried to pay for her and Gavin's but Jax didn't budge on it. Gemma had stuck to the table while Jax went up and paid, so the woman turned to Quinn as Jax was walking back.

"You two should come to family dinner this weekend." Gemma offered, "You could meet some of the guys from the club." Gemma added.

"Oh, we would love to but we are actually leaving for Cancun tomorrow morning." Quinn commented as Jax approached hearing the tail end of the conversation.

"She doesn't need to be subjected to the guys yet." Jax stated.

He was a little concerned when his mother had shown up, and he knew right away that she had caught on that he had some of his attention on a certain brunette. He had yet to talk to Quinn about what the club had actually done, but he didn't want to scare her off before they had a chance to get to know each other more. With his mother now knowing about Quinn, he knew that he had to put a leash on her so to speak so.

Jax had moved out of the way for Quinn to stand up and watched as his mother moved for Gavin to get up from the booth and noticed that a few of the older people had started to look at them as they left the diner.

"Maybe when you two get back, you guys can come to a family dinner. It's usually pretty casual. The men from the club come over, it's nothing too over the top." Gemma explained to Quinn and watched as she nodded her head.

"Yeah, maybe. I'll talk to Jax about it when we get back." Quinn commented, "Well it was really nice meeting you." Quinn added as they walked to her SUV with Gavin already getting into the car.

"I'll talk to you later, yeah?" Jax questioned lowly and had a hand on her side and leaned down to kiss the side of her head.

"I'm sure." Quinn cracked a smile towards him and then one towards Gemma and got into her car.

Jax shut the door and then backed up for Quinn to back out of the parking space, so he turned his attention to his mother with a questioning look on his face.

"Seriously, you couldn't have just waited until you tried to meddle?" Jax questioned.

"I don't know what you're talking about..." Gemma smirked and Jax shook his head with an eye roll.

"Mom. Do not start your shit with Quinn." Jax stated firmly, "I haven't told her about the club yet, and I don't want her finding out from someone other than me. She's been through a lot of shit and I don't need you making shit worse." Jax added.

"Jackson, you do realize this is a small town right?" Gemma questioned to her son, "She will end up finding out sooner rather than later. What are you wanting out of this anyway? I haven't heard you bring her up."

Jax let out a sigh as he grabbed a cigarette from his kutte and lit it and leaned against his bike, "I honestly don't know. Ever since I met her..." Jax shook his head with a small laugh, realizing that he was about to discuss his feelings for Quinn with his mother and decided against it.

"You are just like your father." Gemma shook her head, knowing exactly what he was going to say without even saying it.

Jax let out a laugh, "Just do me a favor...don't try to drag her into any of your shit right now. I'm still trying to figure out where this would go." Jax stated giving his mother a knowing look, "I'm serious."

"Jesus, alright, alright." Gemma held up her hands, "She's very pretty by the way." Gemma added as Jax climbed onto his bike and started it up while shaking his head with another laugh.

"Why do I feel like there is way more to that club than what Jax is saying?" Gavin questioned as he and Quinn were walking through a store to pick out some clothes for Cancun.

"I don't know. I haven't really thought anything about it to be honest." Quinn responded as she was looking at sun dresses, "I did notice that he got some weird looks but I figured that has happened in any small town." Quinn added.

"I think you might want to ask him about it." Gavin commented as he was looking through clothes for Quinn, "His mom just seemed sort of like..." Gavin trailed off trying to find the right word to use.

"A Queen?" Quinn joked, "She definitely carries herself with a lot of confidence. I don't think I've seen that sort of swag in older women." Quinn added.

The brunette knew that she should probably ask some questions about the club. She honestly didn't think that it was her place to ask especially since it wasn't like they were dating. She knew that he had asked about the pictures, but the only reason he had was because he had accidentally came across them while looking at her photography. Of course it was her fault for not making sure that the evidence photos weren't in a different spot on her laptop, but she wasn't sure if she wanted to go fishing for things she wasn't sure she could handle or not. She had never gotten a weird vibe from Jax and no red flags had ever popped up while talking to him or being around him. He had always been a complete gentleman to her when they had hung out. She figured that if he wanted her to know, he would tell her in his own time.

Later that night, Quinn and Gavin had packed for Cancun and had all of their luggage ready to go by the front door. Quinn had decided to stay up a little later than Gavin since she had to make sure that her website was up to date with her newest photos, and saw her phone light up on the coffee table.

Taking a sip of her beer, Quinn reached for the phone and saw the Jeff had sent her a text message earlier that evening but somehow had missed it and her heart began to beat quickly realizing that it was a long text message. Which was never a good thing.

With a deep breath, she unlocked her phone and opened the message app and went to Jeff's name and began to read the long text message. He instantly started out with not wanting her to worry. He had explained that David, the bartender had court that morning and had his lawyer convince the judge to be evaluated by a shrink to see if he had made any sort of progress that would help him get parole.

Quinn couldn't believe the new information she had read. He had a chance of getting out on parole if he was able to pass the shrinks tests and questions. Which had never happened before during the other times he had tried. Jeff had promised that he was going to do absolutely everything in his power to prevent it from happening, but it didn't stop her from silently freaking out.

The brunette felt like the walls of her home were starting to close in on her and she found herself starting to breath a little heavier and needed to get outside. Quinn stumbled through the living room and into the kitchen and out the back door and fell to the ground the moment her feet hit the grass. Her hands were grasping at the blades of damp grass as she rested her forehead against the cool ground and couldn't help the strangled cry the escaped her mouth. She had completely broke down and began to pound her fist against the grass, needing to get out some of her frustration as she tried to control her breathing.

Jax had an extremely late night dealing with the club, he had been in a situation where he had to shoot two men for stealing guns and had to clean up the mess so it wouldn't fall back on the club.

As he pulled up to his house on his bike, he had tried to keep the rumble low so it wouldn't disturb Quinn and Gavin, since he knew that the two were getting up early to catch head to the airport for their vacation.

When Jax pulled into the driveway, he had noticed that Quinn's motion censored light in the back yard had came on and he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. He knew that it was going on one in the morning, so he decided to check it out just to be safe.

Once he had parked his bike, Jax walked across his yard to Quinn's front yard and walked along the side of the house and quietly entered the back yard. His blue eyes narrowed in order to see if there was an intruder but instead found Quinn pushing herself out of the pool with her clothes laid out on the ground and towel next to them.

"Quinn..." Jax spoke gently to catch her attention without scaring her, and when she looked up as he approached he saw her face. He instantly knew that something was wrong, he had seen a similiar look when she had told him what had happened, "What's wrong?" Jax questioned and watched as she went to reach for the towel on but he grabbed it for her and wrapped it around her.

Quinn let out a sigh as Jax pulled her towards him and rubbed her towel covered arms, "David's lawyer has convinced the judge to let him see a shrink in order to see if he's made any sort of progress. Jeff says that I shouldn't worry but it's so hard not to Jax..." Quinn spoke lowly.

Jax frowned and wrapped his arms around her for a moment before he realized that she had goosebumps forming, so he took a step back and removed his kutte and then the black zip up hoodie and put it around her.

"Come sit with me..." Jax grabbed ahold of her small cold hand and sat in a large lounge chair that she had and pulled her down to sit with him and wrapped his arms around her and she didn't hesitate to rest her head against his shoulder.

"Did Jeff have anything to say about it?" Jax asked a few moments later, trying to wrap his head around the information because the news had sent his blood boiling within a few seconds.

He felt her nod her head, "He said that he was going to do everything in his power to prevent him from getting out. He said that if for some reason the shrink does say that he has progressed, he will still have to take a series of tests and evaluations in order to actually get released. Apparently he has had good behaviour." Quinn explained quietly and Jax frowned when he saw her wipe her cheeks quickly, "It's absolute bullshit. I don't think he's changed Jax. Someone like that, he's scary fucking smart. He is fooling them in order to get out."

Jax felt Quinn start to cry a little harder and felt her body tremble a little and he instantly held on to her tighter and held her head into his chest as he buried his nose into her damp hair.

"I can't go through that again Jax. I can't..." Quinn choked out several minutes later and Jax cupped her cheeks as she adjusted herself to sit up a little more facing him.

"Quinn, I'm not going to let anything happen to you." Jax stated honestly, looking into her grey stormy eyes.

Quinn didn't realize how close her face actually was to his face until she felt his hot breath on her face. She couldn't help but to take a moment to just look at his face. His long lashes seemed a little darker by the way the motion light hit them, the stubble on his face was a little longer and his usual bright blue eyes were a couple shades darker and held something behind them she couldn't place.

"Why are you being so nice to me?" Quinn questioned quietly. The truth was, she didn't even mean to say it out loud. She had been curious as to why he was so nice and so adamant about letting her know she was safe with him around.

Jax didn't have an actual answer for the gorgeous brunette as he stared back at her. All he could do was lick his bottom lip and realized that he was wanting to kiss her in that moment. Her plump lips were too inviting and he knew that would be a good enough answer for her.

Quinn noticed that Jax kept glancing to her lips and she instinctively licked her lips. She wasn't quite sure if he was preparing to kiss her, but she found herself wanting to know just how soft his lips were in that moment. There was something about the way he was looking at her that made her forget for a moment why she was so upset.

The brunette felt her heart beat quicken as Jax leaned a little closer to her until his forehead was pressed against hers, with his hands still on her cheeks. She felt his lips gently press against hers in one simple kiss. Her eyes closed at the warm sensation and found herself moving towards him as his hands slid down to the curves of her neck and began to deepen the kiss a few seconds later. Quinn's hands went to Jax's hair to feel just how soft it was. Jax had kept one hand on the curve of her neck and the other arm wrapped around her lower back for a moment.

There was absolutely no way that Jax wanted to break the kiss but the sound of the back door opening up causing Quinn to pull away from him slowly. Her cheeks were a little flushed, and his hand moved from the curve of her neck, down her arm and to her small hand and he wrapped his long fingers around her hand.

"You okay?" Gavin's voice caused Jax to snap out of his trance and focused on Quinn's response.

"I'm good. I'll be in here in a second." Quinn tore her eyes away from Jax to look to Gavin standing in the door frame.

She was thankful that Gavin hadn't bothered sticking around and she had decided to stand up in order to gain the feeling back in her legs and couldn't help the small smile that formed on her lips as Jax stood up.

"You should really try to get some sleep." Jax responded quietly as he stood close to Quinn.

"I know. I should kick Gavin's ass for booking such an early flight." Quinn chuckled lightly and wiped her tired eyes as Jax pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"Will you text me when you land?" Jax questioned, Quinn nodded her head and went to take off Jax's hoodie but he had stopped her, "Keep it."

"Have a good night Jax..." Quinn smiled softly up to Jax and went to walk past him but he had stopped her by gently grabbed her arm and crashed his lips to hers for one last kiss.
