Marrying at the age of 18 to the love of your life, who became a therapist, Jax knew he couldn't hide anything from Tara. She knew the moment he found out that Clay and Gemma had killed his father over wanting out of guns. She knew the moment Clay had met Mr Mayhem. She knew the moment she became SAMCRO Queen that he needed her more than ever. She knew Gemmas days were numbered and Jax hated the site of her but SAMCRO doesnt hurt woman. She knew that Gemma was nothing more than a croeater, there to survice members like the rest of the sluts and hang arounds.
As Gemma walks into the clubhouse she scans the main room to make sure Tara isnt around. Its all taras fault, she has lost it all. Her boys, her club. And its all Tara Knowles fault. Everyone is ignoring her, carrying on their conversations as if she wasnt there. Making herself useful gemma starts to unload the cartons of drinks into the fridges below the bar. The club needs the beer cold and the woman hot Gemma thinks to herself while trying to kee busy. After the letters came out jax fired her from the garage, and bannished her from his family. Gemma cant believe she cant be near her three grand babies. Abel is now 12, Thomas 9 and Julia Grace 6. Not that Gemma had any need for a granddaughter, her mother always said girls should be drowned at birth.
Looking up from her position behind the bar when a hush goes over the clubhouse. Gemma is sure she even hears a few gasps. Looking towards the door she spots Tara walking in and she knows she is in trouble. Out of the corner of her eye she spots most of the club members walking towards the door. The guys greet tara with a lot of "hey Darlings" and "Hey Docs" embracing their Queen. Spotting her out gemma tries to make it to the door before being seen. Almost making it before she hears her name. Turning around she sees Tara walking towards her saying "You are not allowed in here unless you're sucking a dick. I dont see any of the guys begging you for it, not even Tig, so you have five minutes to get all your shit and get the hell out of my club before i drag you to your car by the tacky hair extensions you got attatched to your head." Knowing Tara will do just that, gemma gets into her escalade and makes her haisty retreat.
Needing advice Tig approaches Tara while the other guys are still in the parking lot. "Tara i need to know i'm not crazy, this thing with Venus is growing into something, tell me i'm not crazy to feel these things i'm feeling, tell me it's ok. Please tell me something." Taking a step back from Tig, Tara replies "Tig it's ok, i'm at lunch at the moment and i don't have any clients at the clinic till 2pm today, so why dont we head into my office here and we can have a session and see what we can do for you." Totally greatful to Tara, Tig aggrees staight away and they head into taras office for the session.
Having dinner parties wasn't really a thing Jax likes to do. He is more of the cookout at the clubhouse type but for Tara he will do anything she asks. Plus its with her old college buddies who also are the money men for the club, they help them make the money to stay legit and off ATF radar so Jax is happy to do it. Plus Opie, Donna and Piney are coming too, both his worlds around one table for the night. Taras best friend from college and owner of Axe Captial, Bobby and Mike (but they all call him Wags) have come to charming for few days to fill them in on how the business is going and to catch up.
Sitting around the table with drinks flowing, talk soon the old days at college. For Wags, remember when you took all those drugs at the party and you didnt surface till 4 days later with no hair from the waist up? or remember when you when to that frat rush party and had to pretend for the weekend the blow up donkey was your girlfriend and you had to do all the things a good boyfriend does, dates that included dinner and a movie. Wags knew he didnt have a shortage of times like that at college, and lets be honest he still has them being a vp at axe capital. Soon they all moved onto Tara, but marrying Jax before leaving to go to college, there wasn't any boy stuff the guys could tease her about but that didn't stop them bringing up Chuck, the chubby kid that was obsessed with Tara, followed her around like a puppy dog wanting any attention that she gave hin, even if it was just eye contact or a friendly nod. Even though Jax had visited tara and the guys at Columbia when he did a run for the club he doesn't remember this Chuck kid. Didn't think he even laid eyes on him. What he does remember it the first time he met Bobby. He remembers the jealosy he felt going to that party to find Tara with Bobby. He remembers watching Tara with Bobby, how they were interacting. He remembers the buring hot anger at someone touching his wife. He remembers how he felt that someone else was with the love of his life a daily basis, eating meals, taking classes, when he couldn't be. He remembers confronting Bobby in his red hot rage. He remembers the conversation about how he threatened Bobby to stay away from his wife. He remembers Bobby admitting he loves Tara as a sister. He remembers how they look out for his wife like family. That he does remember. Of course there is also ribbing for Jax and Opie but thats more to do with being pussy wipped. Lets face it, everyone sitting around that dinner table all knew both Opie and Jax would do anything for their wives. Nothing says love like capital murder. Both wives also get a laugh at their husbands expense because both Tara and Donna know the truth.
After seeing their guests to the door, after all the goodbyes. Tara and jax head inside to check on the kids. After a kiss for all three monsters, Tara heads for the shower with Jax close behind. Stepping into the shower with jax behind her, Tara is so pleased at how the dinner party went. At how her old life at college has meshed so well with her new life in charming with her husband, kids and club. Leaning back against Jax, Tara cant believe how lucky she is. Her family, the club and her practice. Apart from her dragon mother-in-law Gemma, life has been wonderful. Jax gave her a wonderful life just like he promised when they got married.
