Just a few things:
Yes, Tara is pregnant Jax just doesn't know.
The whole Ima situation is going to happen but not to the same extent as it played out on the show, that's a great time to bring some more bad ass Tara into this, and I'm looking forward to writing it. I'm not sure when the next chapter will be up because I have exams and my schedule is just hectic right now but I'll try to get it out soon. You're all amazing supporters and I love you all! Thank you for all the feedback and kind words, along with some helpful advice.
Words Left Unsaid~
He didn't see it coming, and it shocked the hell out of him that she did it. He moved his hand up to his stinging cheek that she had just slapped with enough force to jerk his head to the side. Jax's first instinct was the beat the hell out of whoever just hit him, and he would've done it had it not been Tara.
"What the fuck Tara?!" His voice carried more surprise than anger at this point though, which shocked Tara as much as the fact that she actually slapped him.
It's not like she was planning on doing it, but she wasn't going to sit there and let him bring up Kohn. That was a topic they haven't brought up since the fucker died, and she prefered to keep it that way. She was also tired of hearing the shit he was saying earlier, couldn't he see she knew what this life brought? She knew the dangers, the risks taken, several years back she would've been running for the hills never looking back, like she did when they were teenagers. But that's the thing, they weren't anymore, she wasn't that scared girl anymore, why couldn't he see that?
"I was tired of the bullshit coming out of your mouth. I'm going to say this one more time and that's it, next time it won't be my palm hitting you it'll be my damn fist." She was serious too, if she had to repeat herself again or he said anything ridiculous one more time she was going to deck him.
"It isn't bullshit Tara, I'm being serious. You need to get the hell away from Charming, away from me and all this chaos going on. Don't be pissed because you know what I'm saying makes sense. I can see it in your face, part of you is worried about this too you just don't want to say it. I'm calling out your bullshit just as much as you are mine."
When he was done saying that, he found out Tara really wasn't fucking around when she said she would hit him again. Her fist connected with his jaw, not enough force to break or snap anything but enough to get her point across. "I told you the next time it would be my fist" she snarled. She was getting sick of this crap. "I'm not listening to this shit anymore. You want to know the truth? Yes, I'm a little worried about all this fucked up shit going on, but I'm not worried about me or the sick bastards who did this to Abel."
Looking at him right in the eye she sighed, "I'm worried about you. I don't want to see anything happen to you, no matter how much of a dick you are I don't want you getting hurt Jax. Are we clear or do you want more?" She wavered around her fist, which was throbbing a bit from the impact but she knew she was okay.
He nodded his head in understanding, he knew better than to push her because he didn't think she'd hesitate to do it again, for the third time. Jesus Christ he inwardly cursed the day he fell in love with Tara Grace Knowles, a pain in his ass that he couldn't live without, and from the looks of it he wouldn't be doing so anytime soon.
It kind of made him happy, she really wasn't going anywhere. She was here to stay and he knew that, for sure now, Tara would be there for him no matter what she wasn't taking no for an answer. But he wasn't about to throw in the towel just like that and admit he'd given up and was okay doing so. He was going to have a little fun first.
He smiled, a lopsided grin and looked up at the angry brunette glaring at him, "I'm all ears babe." He smiled even bigger when her glare became more heated, her brows furrowed together and she looked like she was ready to kick his ass right then and there. "Come on what were you going to say? I think my ears are up and running now, I'll listen loud and clear".
She took the pillow she'd been holding onto and threw it at him.
"Screw you Jax, you know what I'm going to say. Why can't you just agree and save us both some time?" "Now what would be the fun in that?" he countered, he might have been an ass for liking the fact that he could rile her up just from what he said to her, but he didn't mind. She drove him crazy all the fucking time with all the shit she does, why can't he have a little fun too?
"I'll keep it short and to the point this time ass hole. I am not going anywhere, except for Belfast so get it through the big head of yours and quit being a dick." His head shot up so fast it would've given him whiplash had he not been so focused on the words that she just said. "What are you talking about Tara? You are not going to Belfast with us." He got up and started pacing the room, why did she think she was going? He wasn't about to take her halfway around the world where their other charter was. The Irish were some crazy motherfuckers and he couldn't risk her getting hurt over there. This is one thing he wouldn't budge on.
Tara saw the look he had, she knew what he was thinking truth be told she was a little worried about going down there too but she wouldn't let him see that. That Irish prick took her son and she was out for blood, God help whoever tried to get in her way."Jax" It almost sounded like a plea, "You're not leaving me here alone while you go to get Abel back. I'm coming with you baby, You can't even think straight right now you're so hell bent on my safety and everything with Abel. Me being here wouldn't help you, those fuckers are going to get what's coming to them for messing with this family. Your mother may be bat shit crazy but she's taught me a lot, one of those things being that no one fucks with us and gets away with it"
By the time she was done talking his pacing slowed down and he was walking in a circle looking at her. "I'm not getting out of this am I?" She shook her head, "You're stuck with me Teller, and I'm coming with you."
She got up from the couch and walked over to him pulling on his kutt so they were face to face again. "I'm going one way or another Jax, it might as well be with you. Come on you've seen and now know what I'm capable of." She wriggled her eyes at him, "Don't worry, your big bad ass girlfriend can protect you from the Irish monsters".
Jax looked at her and scoffed, "I don't need your tiny ass protecting me, I'll be protecting you babe." He gave her a peck on the lips and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I know you're worried about all this shit but that doesn't mean you have to try and push me away. I tried life without you and it's not what I want, I love you." She took a deep breath before saying this next part.
"You know if being concerned for my safety isn't the real reason you're pushing me away you could tell me. if this" she gestured between them "isn't what you want anymore just say it Jax, that's easier than being here and dealing with shit you know I won't put up with." Her eyes started to water up, she didn't want to think that was even a possibility of why he had been acting the way he had, but the thought had been in her head and it just came out her mouth.
His grip on her had tightened, he couldn't even comprehend why she would think that, had he acted like that much of an ass that, that was even a possibility to her? Jax kissed her temple, "Tara..God I don't even want that thought in your head." He pulled back a little and lifted her chin with his finger to look into her eyes. "No one but you crosses my mind, you're who I think about, you're who I want to come home to every night. You, no one else" What he was about to say was going to make him sound more pussy whipped than Opie, but he knew he needed to say it. To reassure her of things she's been doubting.
"Tara, what you make me feel, it hurts. That's how it's been since the day we met and it isn't going to change. Day one of my life was the day I met you". And with that the tears came streaming down her face, she couldn't stop them. Damn hormones. This was all too much shit to deal with, but as long as they were together as a team they would be okay, they would do whatever it took to get back their son. As long as they had each other, those Irish bastards better watch out because they didn't know what was about to hit them.
He was wiping her tears away when she looked up at him and smiled, a genuine smile."I love you Jax. No matter what that won't change" "I love you too Tara, always." He smiled down at her. Her nerves settled a little, she knew they would be okay, everything was falling back into place, minus what happened with Abel but soon enough that would be solved.
She and Jax still had a long way to go from here, still needed to get Abel back and make those Irish ass holes pay, Tara also still had to find the right time to tell him she was pregnant, but that could wait just a little while longer.
They stood like that for a moment, just embracing each other, loving the feel that the other gave them. Taras hands started going under his kutt and hoodie, feeling his rock hard abs.
His hands moved from her back to her hair and he held her so he could kiss her, she moaned into his mouth when his tongue found hers. She pushed off his kutt and started on getting rid of his hoodie, when he was rid of both she smiled to herself and grabbed a fistful of that gorgeous blonde hair and pulled his mouth down to her, "God I missed you" was the last thing he got out before her lips smashed into his. He fell back on the couch, Tara straddling his legs he started on the buttons of her shirt getting it off and throwing it to the side. Just as he got to her jeans, they heard someone clearing their throat in the doorway, "If you two could wrap this up, we have some things to do here before we head back to the clubhouse."
"Yeah alright mom, we'll be out in a minute" Jax grumbled, not too happy that they were interrupted. He looked up at Tara who was smiling, eyes rimmed with red from crying. "Your mother has perfect timing. Come on Teller let's get get this place finished and head out." She gave him a quick peck on the lips before she climbed off of him and got her shirt back on, heading out the door to go help Gemma. Jax got up a minute later getting dressed and heading out to the garage with the guys.
"And to think of what I could've lost" He whispered to himself as he walked out the door.
