About time for an update right?! ;)

Thank you to all you wonderful people!

So sorry this took a while, things kept popping up and taking away time for this but without further adieu.. The next chapter. My apologies for any grammatical errors.

They say Love conquers all, but only when both of you fight for it does it beat the odds.

They say keep your loved ones close and your enemies closer, but sometimes it's when you're not keeping your loved ones close enough That your enemies strike.

Fight for what you want no matter the cost.

Jax woke up to the sound of vomiting, when he glanced at the clock he saw that it was already eleven in the morning. He climbed out of the bed and walked over to the bathroom where Tara was hunched over the toilet. Crouching down beside her he rubbed her back as she eased her breathing.

"You okay babe? Morning sickness?"

With Jax's help, Tara stood and headed to the sink to rinse out her mouth. "I'm alright, just morning sickness. Which is a bunch of bullshit because it's an ongoing thing." she snorted.

He tried to hide it, he really did, but the laughter creeper through his lips. "I'm sorry baby." He slipped his arms around her waist and rested his chin on her shoulder. "At least we know he's in there, healthy and causing trouble." Tara leaned back into his embrace and relaxed.

"When are you heading to church?"

Letting out a low groan Jax twisted Tara around so she was facing him, "I'm going over in a little while, gotta shower and get dressed." She smiled when she looked up and saw him smirking, knowing more than a shower was going to happen.

After a shower, a long workout worthy shower, the two of them got out, got dressed and headed out. While Tara walked towards the kitchen to join Gemma and Lyla, Jax headed for the chapel. Once he got there he saw the guys were already sitting and talking amongst themselves. He went and sat at the seat next to Clay.

Looking around the table he asked, "What's going on?"

Clay turned to him, "Not much, we're trying to figure out the next move." Jax nodded and faced the rest of the guys, "We've got to do this fast, with the girls pregnant, and moody, I'm not sure how much longer she'll go without trying to kill someone. I need my son back." The hint of fear is his eyes was enough to get the guys laughing. Tara was scary as it was, but add in pregnancy hormones was a whole new ball game.

As the laughter died down a bit, Opie spoke up, "Don't worry brotha, we'll get him and get the hell outta here."

For the next couple hours they sat there talking about the plan and figuring out how they were going to execute it, get Abel back into Jax and Tara's arms safely. Jax wasn't leaving until he got his son back, no matter what had to happen.

Meanwhile, Tara, Lyla, and Gemma were surrounding the kitchen table talking.

"I hope this all plays out okay, I don't want any of the guys getting hurt and I'm losing my patience." Tara huffed out, half worry and half annoyance taking over her tone. She wasn't entirely sure how they would do this without some kind of blood count but it had to happen.

"Tara.."

Lyla's voice broke her out of her reverie and she looked up to see the two women staring at her. "Let the guys handle all that right now, please. They're going to get Abel back and we're going to go back home in one piece."

She wanted more than anything to believe every word Lyla said, and she did to an extent, but she also knew this life so much deeper than Lyla and understood how things worked. Someone would be getting hurt, someone was dying, and people were going to get caught in the crossfire.

"I know they'll take care of it, I'm just worried that's all. I just want this shit done and over with already." she sighed.

She turned to Gemma, "You're awfully quiet, you okay?" Gemma let out a slight chuckle, "Yeah, I'm fine baby. Just trying not to stress you out any more than you already are." She reached out and patted Tara's hand. "How bout some breakfast for the two of you, those babies must be hungry."

Lyla and Tara smiled, nodding their heads at her and moving around the island to help her get some food ready.

A little while later, the ladies walked into the main room just as the men were walking out of church. Tara walked over to Jax and stretched out her arms to grasp his kutte in her hands. Pulling him to her she wrapped her hands around his neck and brought his lips down to hers.

The girls had talked to her and she realized she can't worry about something she doesn't have control over. She had to keep calm and focus on the growing baby inside her while trying to get Abel back as well.

Pulling back she smiled at him and his cocked eyebrows. "I love you, Teller."

"I love you too, Knowles."

"Ayyye, would the four of ya get a room for cryin' out loud." Jax looked at Chibbs who had a look of mock disgust on his face, and then over to Opie and Lyla who were all over each other.

"Maybe that wouldn't be such a bad idea, Ope?"

Opie pulled away from Lyla, just barely, and turned to face his best friend, "I don't think it would be, at all." The girls swatted at their men's chests and shook their heads, smiling.

Everyone was laughing at this point, Jax sat at the couch and pulled Tara into his lap while Opie sat at a bar stool but did the same with Lyla. The rest of the guys grabbed a beer and took a seat around the room.

A few minutes went by when the phone went off. Clay took it out of his pocket, flipping it open he put it up to his ear. No one knew what was going on but when he hung he had a pained face.

"What's wrong baby?" Gemma went up to him and placed her hands on his face. He took a deep breath and looked over at Jax and Tara, "That was SAMBEL. The Petries were found in their hotel. Dead. The place was trashed, security found them this morning."

Tara's eyes widened and her hand went over her mouth, she gripped onto Jax and she felt her legs start to shake. His grip on her tightened and he pressed a kiss to her temple, "it's okay babe. It'll be okay.."

She looked up into his eyes and saw the fear, so she asked the question everyone had been wondering, "What does this mean? Where's Abel?!" Jax once again tightened his grip around her, he couldn't give her an answer because he didn't have one.

Looking around at the room full of members and the women Jax took a deep breath, "Let's go, we gotta go to the hotel." Tara looked up at him with red rimmed eyes from crying, silently telling him she's going with them. "Ope, Clay, Happy, and me will go. The rest of you stay here incase Ashby comes back." They all nodded their heads in agreement and Gemma walked up to her son.

"I'll take Lyla with me and head out for a while, Tara you coming with us or?" Tara shook her head, "I'm going to find my son." she wiped her eyes and grabbed Jax's hands, "Let's go."

Arguing with her would be useless at this point so he didn't even try to.

Pulling up to the hotel Tara climbed off as the rest of them hopped off and together they headed through the doors. It looked strange, a group of thug looking men and an innocent, looking, women. People looked at them, perplexed but they continued walking up the stairs until they reached the room they were looking for.

"Stay here until I know it's safe, please." Jax's eyes were pleading with Tara. She looked at him and nodded, not wanting to go in and see the mess. She sat on the chair that was just outside the door while they went in.

When they walked in the place wasn't nearly as messy as they thought it would be. Looking around, Jax saw the wife laying on the floor spread out and the husband sprawled over the bed. He felt a pang of guilt, if this situation wasn't so fucked up these innocent people would've still been alive. He continued looking, along with the rest of the club that came, to see if Abel was here but it was to no avail. Abel wasn't here anymore.

Looking around at all the baby clothes and toys Jax's heart broke a little. He missed his son more than anything and needed him back, safe in his arms.

Just as he was about to tell the guys they were ganna head back and figure out where Abel was he heard a piercing scream but wasn't sure what it was exactly, he was in the back of the room and couldn't hear too well.

Tara was sitting on the chair shaking her legs and looking around when a man walked up to her. Before she knew it he pulled her up and started walking away. What the fuck is going on? The man pulled out his phone and dialed a number, "I've got her, we're coming down now. Be ready."

"Jaaaaaaax!" His eyes widened and he pushed his way through a bunch of furniture, running towards the door. He knew that voice, it was Tara and something was wrong. 'TARA?!". "Jax!"

Finally getting out the door he looked and saw Tara hoisted over someone's shoulders as they were running. "Shit. Guys come on, they're got Tara!" Every single one of them was out of that room, and running towards the man that had her, in record time.

The man was running down the stairs and the next thing Jax saw was Tara flying in the air and landing on her head hard. She yelped in pain and her hand went to her stomach. He ran with everything he had, trying to get to her, taking three steps at a time but it was no use. Another man appeared And grabbed her and his fallen friend, running towards the car outside and shoving Tara into the trunk before speeding out into traffic.

Jax crumpled to the floor and let out a pained scream. He'd lost his son and now the only woman he'd ever loved got taken away, along with his unborn child who he was praying was okay after she slammed into the ground.

"We'll get them back brotha." He felt Opie's arms on his shoulders but he didn't move, he couldn't.

**Tara**

The trunk was tiny and she was very uncomfortable. She had her arms wrapped around her stomach, holding onto her baby, hoping with all her faith that her baby was okay.

She felt them slowing down and then the trunk was opening. The man who had initially grabbed her at the hotel was once again picking her up out of the trunk. He practically tossed her into the chair like she was a rag doll.

"Give me the the tape." He said to the other man, who nodded and reached into the car pulling out a roll of duct tape And tossed it to him. Once he got it he put her feet together and then them up but left her hands as they were.

After finishing up he walked over to the second man and turned to look at Tara. "Boss should be here soon do we wait or just leave her?" He looked at his partner, "Leave the bitch. If she tries anything she's dead and so is the kid." Tara looked at them with wide eyes, they knew where Abel was. She waited until both of them left and then let the cries escape her. She was crying for her son and her unborn child, not knowing what was going to happen.

Tara didn't know how long she'd been here, her legs were beginning to numb so she reached down and rubbed them. She tried taking the tape off, to her disappointment it was too tight to be taken off without being cut off.

She heard the door open and looked up to see a man walking in and smiling at her. "Hello love, I'm Jimmy." he purred.

**Jax**

It had been several hours since someone took Tara and Jax wasn't any better. He trashed the clubhouse, again, and screamed at everyone. He drunk his sorrows away, it tried to but nothing helped, nothing would help until he got his son and Old Lady back.

"Jax...Jackson you need to cut this shit out. It's not going to help us find Tara or Abel. She'd slap the living hell out of you if she saw you right now." Jax looked up to his mom with tear filled eyes, not saying anything, just looking at her. He dropped the bottle of Jack and stood up. She pulled him to her and held him a while,"I've got to find them mom. I have to." she pulled back and looked him directly in the eyes "Let's go find them then." He followed her out to the main room where everyone was.

Lyla was weeping into Opie's chest as he held her. He looked up and saw his best friend walking out and nodded to him silently telling him they'd figure everything out.

Just as he was about to say something the doors opened and I'm walked Father Ashby. "I know where Tara is."

Jax looked at him for a moment before speaking. "Really? Where is she?"

"Jimmy has her and Abel. He wants to use them to get out of the country, he'll do anything to make sure that happens no matter if he has to hurt them or not. We must hurry before he does something to them."

After telling them where he was keeping her Jax ran to his bike and headed out, along with Chibbs and Opie, while the others stayed put.

They got to the place where Ashby said his family was, it was a shitty rundown factory that seemed abandoned. "No splitting up. I'm not risking any more shit happening." Jax hissed. Chibbs and Opie nodded in agreement and they entered the rundown building.

The three men walked around the building checking the rooms as they passed. She had to be here somewhere, he wasn't leaving without her and his son.

**Tara**

Tara looked at him with fear clearly shown in her eyes as he bent down and took the tape of with a sharp object, "They're ye go sweetheart, don't want you in pain."

She didn't know what he was going to do to her but from things that she's heard about him, from Jax and the club, Jimmy was a ruthless bastard who didn't care about having to kill people along the way to the top. She flinched as he crept closer to her, his hand landing on her cheek, which she jerked away the moment the contact was made. "come on love, don't fight this." he started unbuttoning his shirt, "you know you want this as much as I do."

Tara's eyes shot wide open, what the fuck does he think he's doing? Her fear was quickly replaced with anger, she wasn't a victim and definitely wouldn't be one now. Jimmy thought he was apparently fearful enough to have her sit still, little did he know Tara Knowles wasn't one to messed with. Josh came to mind and it added fuel to the fire, this was not happening again.

"You have some balls to kidnap our son and you're trying to get laid? Jax will slit your throat without hesitation." Jimmy chuckled and stepped closer.

The second Jimmy was within reach of her, nearly naked with a sleazy smile plastered on his face, Tara shot up like a cannon and decked him. Adding in a kick to the groin for good measure.

She ran towards the door, knowing she had to find Abel before the fucker did anything to him through one of his goons. As she approached the door she heard voices on the outside of it and stood off to the side to hear who it was.

"They've got to be in here somewhere. Find them. Now! Before something happens to her."

She'd recognize the voice anywhere, it was Jax. "Ayye, but you've got to calm down Jackie 'll find her." A sharp intake of breath came before he replied, "If one more damned person tells me to-" Tara flung the door open and bolted looking around until her eyes landed on Jax, Opie, and Chibbs .

Jax looked over and saw Tara standing there, his eyes started shining but he didn't care. The last time he saw her she was face down on a floor clutching her stomach, he thought he'd lost her, no one knowing where she was. He gave her his signature smile, that was reserved just for her, his heart beating against his ribcage, "I missed you babe." was all he got out before she darted into his arms and clung to him for dear life.

Jax wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to him as she pushed further into him, almost like she was trying to crawl inside him. The one place she felt safe no matter what was right here, in his arms. She felt the tears start creeping out the corners of her eyes, letting them fall freely as she grabbed onto Jax and clung even harder burying her face in the crook of his neck.

"Are you okay? The baby?" His voice etched with fear and worry and he pulled back for a minute to look her over. "I'm okay, we're okay, he's been kicking around in there." and with that she pushed back into his chest.

"Jackie boy, you should come see this." Chibb's voice rang out from the door Tara came out of not too long ago. Loosening his grip on Tara just enough to turn and look at Chibbs, Jax nodded. He rubbed circles on Tara's lower back and stood there for another minute before kissing the top of her head and looking into her eyes. "What happened, babe?" He asked, he needed to know who took her, although he knew Jimmy had planned it he needed the fuckers who did his dirty work for him too.

Evening out her breath she met his eyes, "Why don't you ask the fucker that took us."

She saw the anger glitter in his eyes, but it wasn't aimed towards her. No. It was aimed at the poor guy that was about to feel the wrath of Jax for hurting, or trying to hurt, Tara.

He let go and grabbed her by the hand as the walked to where Chibbs and Opie were standing. When he peaked through the door he saw Jimmy lying there, crouched on the floor, holding his manhood and groaning as he bled from the nose. A smile was playing at Jax's lips. He turned over to Tara and arched a brow as his friends chuckled.

"what?" Tara asked, feigning surprise as she looked down on Jimmy. "Is he hurt? Should we get some help?" By now Opie and Chibbs were hysterical, holding their abs while laughing. "You're a feisty one, lassie." Chibbs got out in between laughs.

Jax walked over and hauled up Jimmy to his feet. "You made a big mistake coming after my old lady."

Jimmy grunted as his face was met with Jax's fists, again and again. "Keep it up and that little boy of yours is dead."

"Where. Is. My. son.?" His voice venomous.

"If I tell you.. You let me walk out of here alive, no following me." He looked at Jax with questioning eyes as he said it.

Jax nodded, "Tell me where my son is and you walk away." Tara was gaping at her man, was he being serious? This fucker just kidnapped her and killed Abel's kidnapper only to take him as leverage and he was just going to let him walk? She wanted to march over to him and punch him.

If he wasn't trying to keep a steady face, Jax would've smiled at how pissed Tara looked. He didn't tell her the plan about Jimmy and getting rid of him once they were back in Charming because that would make her an accessory. They were working with the ATF but had called quits on that because he didn't trust the bitch. She'd do anything to get them locked up and he didn't want that.

Jimmy's voice pulled him back to the moment. "second floor, there's a room in the back. I'll call and have one of my guys bring him to you."

"Do it. Now." Tara snapped, "I want my son in my arms."

Jimmy pulled a phone from his breast pocket and dialed a number, "Aye, bring the boy down here. Come alone." Hanging up he slipped it back in the pocket and backed away from them.

A moment later Tara heard the gurgles of an infant and turned her head to follow the guys' eyes to where Abel was being carried their way. Her eyes filled with tears as she went into Jax's arms and waited for their son to be put back in their arms.

Hulk look-a-like walked up to the two of them and handed Abel over to Jax who pulled him into his chest and held on. Tara was rubbing his back while tears were pouring out of her eyes, she had her baby boy Boy, she had her family back and complete.

Jax kissed his son's head and smiled as he gave him to Tara, who showered him with kisses. He snuggles into her chest and Jax pulled both of them to him, embracing his family.

Looking over at Chibbs and Opie, who were smiling at them, he nodded. Opie took out his gun, pointed it at the big man who brought them Abel, and pulled the Trigger. Tara jumped in Jaxs arms and turned around to see what had happened.

"Bloody hell!" Jimmy yelled. "You said I'd walk."

Jax faced him, "I did and you will. But I didn't say anything about him. Go before I change my mind, fucker." Jimmy didn't test him, he backed up and went out the door.

"What the hell's wrong with you Jax?! After all the shit he's done you're just going to let him walk aw-" he cut her sentence off with a kiss, a long passionate kiss. "We'll talk about it later. Let's get him back to the clubhouse." Reluctantly, Tara agreed. They called Gemma to bring the van and Tara would go with Abel and her while the guys drove their bikes back.

After she cried and held her grandson, showering him with kisses as well, the three of them hopped in and headed back. Arriving at the clubhouse, they were ambushed by bikers along with Lyla, Maureen, and Trinity. Abel was passed around, drinks were going out to everyone, kisses were given and happiness was shared.

Tara was sitting in Jax's lap kissing his neck, "I love you. I love you so much." He brought her mouth down to his so their lips were only inches apart and whispered, "I love you too babe, more than you'll ever know. I'm sorry for how I acted."

Smiling, she kissed him, "It doesn't matter anymore, just make sure it doesn't happen again."

After long day, everyone needed some rest before heading out tomorrow. Jax and Tara laid in bed with Abel in a bassinet next to it, with a goodnight kiss from both parents the tired infant crashed out. Tara's head was on Jax's chest and she was running her fingers up and down his stomach while he played with her hair. They both fell asleep peacefully.
