Jax had woken up before the sun came up to take a ride. His head had been filled with everything they had to do with Jimmy so they didn't get prison time. He kissed Tara which got him a mumbled protest for waking her up, checked on Abel to see that he was okay and headed out to the open road.
As he glided down the road he thought about Tara and the new baby, he didn't want to miss this pregnancy or birth. He always felt regret for missing out on everything with Abel and he'd be damned if it happened again with this baby. He had a feeling it was a boy and hoped it was, he didn't have the slightest clue how he'd raise a little lady. Either way he'd love his baby just like Abel, this baby would be his brother or sister no matter what anyone said, Abel was his and Tara's not the crank whore who almost killed him.
His thoughts were interrupted when he felt his phone vibrating against his leg, pulling it out he placed his over his ear. "Hello?"
"I woke up and you were gone." Tara's voice was sleepy and sounded sexy as hell to him. "I couldn't fall back asleep."
Jax smiled to himself, "I took a ride babe, I'll head back right now. Abel awake yet?" "No, he's sound asleep. I'll see you when you get back, I'm hopping in the shower." She said the last line with a purr trying to get the point across that she needed him to get back to her.
"I'm on my way babe, don't have too much fun before I get there." They said their goodbyes and Jax put the phone back in his pocket. Going full throttle he cruised the streets of Charming with a naked, soaking wet Tara in mind. He wasn't too far out so it only took him a few minutes to get home. Pulling into the driveway he quickly parked his bike and practically ran through the front door, heading to their bedroom stripping off his clothes as he walked.
Reaching the bathroom door he swung it open to see Tara in a steam shower looking amazing, her bump on display which he loved, ass out, and beautiful as ever. Slowly walking up to the glass door he opened it and stepped through, Tara noticed him and a wicked smile formed on her lips, she stepped aside to give him a little more room to enter. He closed the door when he was fully in and was on Tara in an instant, pushing her against the tile his hands went to her hips and his mouth ravaged hers.
Tara moaned into him lifting her hands to fist in his hair. Once he bent his knees she knew what he wanted, she lifted herself and wrapped her legs around his waist back hitting the wall again as he shifted her, grabbing her thighs. Moving one hand out of his hair she grabbed a hold of him in her hand and squeezed, circling her thumb over his tip, stroking him. Right when she positioned him over her wanting center a little but powerful cry was heard. Jax and Tara looked at each other a moment before Jax laughed while Tara let out a huff of disappointment.
"My boy, the master of timing." He joked as he set her down. "I'll get him, you finish your shower. We'll continue this later." Giving her one more passionately deep kiss Jax opened the shower door and wrapped a towel around his waist.
Quickly changing, he headed into Abel room and saw his son gurgling about and swinging his feet around in the air. Reaching over the crib he lifted his son and set him down in the crook of his arm, "Hey buddy." he cooed. Gently rocking him Jax slipped into the chair by the window and looked down at his son who was now wide awake. "You couldn't sleep ten more minutes to let me have some fun with your mom could you?" He smiled down at Abel who was babbling as if giving him an actual answer.
Tara finished up her shower and got changed into some black jeans and a cut off top. She headed towards the kitchen and saw Jax and Abel already there, Abel in his high chair eating some crushed bananas and Jax messing around with his little feet talking to him. Walking up to him she set her hands on his shoulders smiling when he looked up at her silently calling her in for a kiss. Complying, she bent down and kissed him before moving over to get a cup of coffee.
"Your mom called earlier, said she wanted us over at the clubhouse for breakfast around ten. I was thinking we could head over and afterwards have her watch Abel for a while so we can go to our appointment. Unless you have club stuff to deal with, I could just take him wi-"
He cut her off with another kiss, "I wouldn't want to be anywhere else than to see what the next Teller will be. We have some stuff to deal with but that won't be til later tonight. I'm all yours babe."
Tara smiled from ear to ear, she was hoping he'd be able to go with her but with the club she could never be positive. Setting her coffee down she walked up and wrapped her arms around his neck, "I love you."
"I love you too." Sealing the deal with a hot steamy kiss, until Abel began making noises letting them know he wanted attention. Giggling, Tara stepped back and they both looked over at the little baby boy who was covered in banana and seemed very pleased with himself.
"Okay little man let's get you cleaned up before we go to grandma's, she'll kill us if you're a mess." Tara smiled as she went over and took him out his chair kissing his chubby, banana covered cheeks.
Taking him over to the sink she stripped him of his bib, onesie, and diaper. Checking to make sure the water was the right temperature she started rinsing Abel off. The little baby giggled away and was splashing water all over the place, soaking both Jax and Tara. Jax walked back into his room to grab a towel for Abel and some new clothes, coming back he opened his arms with the towel and wrapped him up as Tara set him in.
After getting Abel dry, changed and into his car seat the three of them headed over to the clubhouse for what was sure to be an eventful breakfast.
The drive over was silent other than Abel's babbling, Jax drove with one hand on the wheel while the other one was entwined with Tara's playing with her fingers. Tara knew something was going on with him but she wouldn't press him, he always told her on his own.
Pulling into the parking lot they parked the car and hopped out, Jax insisted on getting Abel when Tara tried to saying it wasn't good for her to be lifting anything too heavy. Rolling her eyes she nodded and closed the door after him.
Walking into the clubhouse they saw a buffet of food and all the members and their old lady's or croweater of the week. "You made it. I'm glad you're here." They turned to see Gemma coming their way. She gave them both a hug and kiss before bending down to give the car seat bound baby a smile and tickle. "How you doing honey?"
Smiling sweetly Tara answered, "I'm good, a little anxious about our appointment later but other than that I'm amazing." Gemma's smile got ten times bigger, "Oh that's right, your appointment is today. Will I be finding out of I'm getting a grandson or granddaughter today?"
"Hopefully, it might still be a little too soon but fingers crossed we will. I know Prince over here wants a boy." she winked over at Jax.
Laughing Gemma nodded, "I see that. Well don't let me keep you, there's plenty of food, drinks, enjoy. I have some talking to do with a few people." She looked over at Clay and a few other people. The three said their goodbyes and parted. Tara spotted Lyla and Opie at a table and pulled along Jax and Abel.
"Hey guys." Lyla smiled as they came up. "You look gorgeous!" she stood and hugged Tara, pressing a hand to her, now visible, bump. Tara was about 20 weeks along now, and other than the nausea and vomiting she was loving it. She'd had a few doctors appointments and everytime was a good time, the baby was healthy and growing. Hopefully they would be finding out the sex soon, so the nursery can get started.
"Thank you, so do you!" The two sat down and Lyla motioned for Jax to hand over Abel, she loved the little boy like she'd known him since he was born. He happily went into her arms and smiled at her, a full nothing but gums smile.
Opie stood and he and Jax patted each others backs, "what's up brotha?"
Jax grabbed a plate of food and sat down, "Same shit, new day. Getting things ready for the baby and shit. Dealing with that other thing." Opie nodded, he knew that 'other thing' was Jimmy. The club was going to be buying him from Putlova and dealing with him. They'd been talking with Stahl about a deal but they didn't trust her, she seemed shady and they didn't want to risk jail time. Kids on the way, proposals being planned, and the usual club shit was enough on everyone's plates without adding prison to it.
The two started talking about the club and eating food.
"You really doing okay? I know a lots been going on and we never have a chance to just sit down and talk." Tara looked on at Lyla while she asked.
Lyla smiled, "Everything's going great right now, I'm out the porn business. Opie didn't like it and to be honest I was starting to get tired of it. The baby gave me the perfect reason to leave without having to go through all the bullshit with Ima. The kids are all doing good, they get along so well and love being around each other. Everything with Ope is amazing, he's protective about the littlest things which is sexy and irritating at the same time. But what about you, I know these last few months haven't been easy at all?"
Tara sighed, "For once, everything is going so well. Abel's back, and being gone for such a while didn't change him thank God, Jax and me are better than ever, things are calm. Something's going on though and he's not telling me, I'm not going to press if he wants to he will. Our appointments today and we might find out the sex." she brightened up at the mention of their baby.
Lylas smile got bigger too, "Our appointment was yesterday, we're having a baby girl!" Her giddiness was contagious and had Tara smiling from ear to ear pulling her friend into a hug and squealing together causing Jax and Opie to turn around and look at them. Opie smirked, "She must have told her we're having a girl."
Jax turned to look at his best friend, "That's great brotha, congratulations." Jax was happy for his brother, he had two kids, technically three because he considered Lyla's son his own, and had another one on the way. "Four kids... Good luck with that."
Opie punched him in the arm, "Shut up." He smiled, "It's not bad, Ellie and Kenny are growing up so fast, Piper's right behind them. We're happy and in love, no better time to bring a baby into the mix. What about you, you ready for another one?"
Jax looked for a moment into the air before grinning, "It's been in the cards for me and Tara since we got together, it just got delayed till now. No matter what anyone says Abel's her kid not Wendy's. I'm excited for another little one, just worried about if it's a girl. I'm screwed."
"It's not that bad, Ellie was first and I was a nervous wreck but once she got here I just loved her, I'm still more protective with her, in this life and with boys you never know. You'll be fine Jax." his best friend agreed and tapped their beer bottles together.
Everyone was having a good time talking together and eating delicious food that Gemma had made, a couple hours had passed before Abel got tired and cried until Tara took him from Lyla, his head hit her chest and the baby boy passed out. Tara cradled him in her arms, rubbing his back as her and Lyla continued talking.
When one o'clock came around Tara and Jax got ready to head out for their appointment. Quietly, she handed the sleeping baby to Gemma and they made their way out. "Let's take your bike, soon I'll be too fat to ride." There was a bit of sadness in her voice and Jax picked up on it. "You're not going to be fat, and we still have some time to ride around on it." he said as he handed her a helmet.
"I'm gonna miss it. I love riding with you." She said petulantly while grabbing his midsection and hanging on. "Don't worry babe, I'll give you something else to ride." laughing as she slapped his thigh. He revved up the bike and they took off.
When they got to the doctors they were directed to a room and the nurse told Tara to lay back on the exam table, the doctor would be there soon. She did so and Jax stood at her side holding her hand smiling down at her. A couple minutes later came in.
"Hey you two, how's it going? Anything particular you're here for today?"
"It's going good. No, just a regular check up and to see if we could find out the sex." Tara squeezed Jax's hand as he spoke.
smiled, "Good, let's get you checked out." With that she went on with the usual procedures for a check up, looking at the monitor she moved around the wand and made sure everything was good and healthy with the baby. "Baby looks healthy as can be." Jax looked down and smiled at Tara. "Can we find out the sex?" he asked nervously.
The doctor chuckled, "Anxious daddy I see." She moved around the wand a little more and looked at the screen, "It looks like you have a healthy baby... Boy!"
Both their faces lit up as they finished up cleaning her stomach off and heading out with their sonogram picture. Walking out the building, Tara's hand was around his waist as his arm dangled off her shoulder. "I told you it was a boy, babe." The smug look on his face had Tara laughing. "Get on the bike and shut it."
They rode off the parking lot as happy as can be. Getting back to the clubhouse around five, most of the people had left and the place was cleaned up. Lyla and Opie were playing with Abel by the couch, he babbled total nonsense to them and they responded.
Gemma was the first to spot them, running to them with a smile on her face. "Well?" she was a little out of breath but waited for them to go on.
"Well.. Grandma" Tara laughed at her expression, "You're going to have a grandson!"
Gemma let out a high pitched squeal and brought Tara into a bear hug first and then Jax. "Did you hear that everyone?! I'm having a grandbaby boy!" There was a roar of applause And congratulations going around. Tara chimed in, "That makes a Prince and Princess on the way! Don't forget about Green Giant and Lyla!" she laughed and waved them over. Another roar of applause came.
Tara and Lyla hugged, "Oh Tara, a baby boy. Congratulations." "Congratulations, brotha." Opie slapped Jax's back. "Thank you!" was said all around to everyone there.
Abel squealed to make sure no one forgot about him which got a laugh out of the foursome. Tara bent over and picked him up giving him a kiss.
Drinks were passed around and everyone went back to talking, the guys got called into church so Tara and Lyla were sitting on the couches talking and playing around with Abel.
"Any news on Jimmy?" Jax wanted the bastard dead right away, he fucked with his family more than once and caused unnecessary deaths. He personally wanted to gut him like a fish.
Clay looked around the table, Happy, Opie, Juice, Bobby, Tig, Jax, Piney, and Kozic were all sitting and waiting for the news. "Putlova wants two million for him, Chucky found some counterfeit cash, we're going to front load it with real cash and get the fuck out of there. T.O's crews going to waiting at the mile marker and they'll take care of the rest of them. We leave tomorrow morning, be here by nine." grunts were heard all around and agreements given.
"Sounds good to me." Jax said with a evil glare.
"What's going on with Stahl?" Juice asked, last he heard the crazy bitch was talking about three years with good behavior. He didn't want prison time at all.
Happy looked up at him and then to the rest of the table, "I would love to take care of that bitch, all the shit she's caused I could have some serious fun with her bony stuck up ass."
"You could have all the fun you want with her Hap but I'm the one killing her." Opie came up from his seat and paced the room, "I want, I need to be the one who ends her backstabbing miserable life. To watch as she begs for her life, no mercy." His brothers nodded in unison, understanding his pain with what she cause with Donna.
Opie's mind wandered to Donna. She'd still be here if this ATF bitch didn't get involved, she'd still be alive. It took him a while after her to find Lyla and he would make sure nothing happened to his family again, especially because of June fucking Stahl.
"I'm fine with that, Ope." Happy had a wicked tone, like he was thinking of every possible way to bring her to the brink of death and bringing her back, repeating this endlessly until Opie was ready to come in and finish her off.
Clay let out an exasperated breath, "Stahl is being Stahl and up our asses. If she gets Jimmy we're done for, We're talking three years minimum if this goes wrong. We have to be smart and quick about this."
The men started getting riled up and slamming fists and cursing, so Clay knew he needed to change the subject.
They talked about the other businesses they had to talk about and Clay banged his gavel down to adjourn their meeting.
Opie and Jax walked out last looking around for their women, spotting them they walked over to the couch. "You two ready to head out?"
"Yes we are." the two women stood and hugged each other before walking out with their men and walking in different directions.
Lyla had an arm around Opie's waist as they walked towards his bike. "Soon I'll be too fat to even ride with you baby." He laughed at the little pout she had as he turned her so she was standing in between his legs as he sat sideways on the bike. "You're not going to be fat, you're going to be pregnant. There's a difference, pregnant and sexy as hell." Kissing her nose and pulling back to look at her.
"You say that now but once I turn into a cow you won't even want to fuck my brains out like you do now." Now he was full on laughing to the point where tears were coming out.
"Babe, I'll never want to stop fucking your brains out. If anything the bump makes it even hotter. I promise nothing will change in that department." She tried her hardest not to smile but it was to no avail, she was grinning from ear to ear. "I love you." She gave him a long kiss, filled with promises when they got home. He mounted his bike and waited for her small figure to mold against his, when he felt it he started up and rode out the parking lot.
Jax was holding Abel and put him in the car seat before opening up the car, his eyes were heavy with sleep but he did not want to sleep, he let it be known by screaming whenever they tried rocking him. Puting in the back seat and fastening him up.
Tara leaned against the drivers door as he closed it. "Jax, what's going on? You've been weird all day, I have this feeling that something's wrong and it's driving me crazy. Please, baby, just tell me what's going on?"
Jax knew he couldn't lie to her, he didn't want to. Knowing she would stress if she didn't find out he decided to just let her know. "We know where Jimmy is, we're going to get him tomorrow and deal with him. Stahl's another case that's more difficult I'm not su-"
"Jax, you can't go to prison! You have Abel and me and we have a baby on the way. you can't leave me." She felt tears pricking her eyes, "Please tell me you're not being taken from me, from us. This stupid bitch isn't tearing apart my family."
This side of Tara is one Jax always loved, the possessive, determined Tara. When they were teenagers it had gotten her suspended a few times, given him blue balls because she wanted to remind him who's he was, guys had been knocked out, and their relationship was stronger. He grabbed her neck and raised her head to look up at him.
"I'm not going anywhere babe. We're not being tore up. I promise." Wiping the fallen tears with his thumb he kissed her nose, "We're dealing with her, it's just difficult because she's official. Don't worry about it please, we have a handle on everything." Meeting her eyes be looked right in them to let her know he was telling her the truth.
She nodded up at him, "Good. I'm not letting you get away again."
He let out a laugh and gave her another kiss, opening the car, he let her slide on before he did and started it up, heading home after a long but nice day.
By the time they pulled into the driveway the sun had gone down and a tired Abel had fell asleep. "I'll get him babe, you can open up the house." Jax handed her the keys and gave her a quick kiss.
Gently taking the car seat out Jax shut the car door and met Tara at the door. She unlocked it and stepped in. "I'll go put him down, you go get out of your kutte and everything else." Giving her a kiss he headed towards their bedroom, "You got it babe."
Stripping out of his hoodie, kutte, and jeans, Jax threw on a pair of sweats but no shirt and put his gun on the night stand. Taking off his rings and necklace he set them down by the gun. Jax headed to the bathroom to brush his teeth.
Tara was rocking Abel since he had woken up a little and started whimpering, after a few minutes he slipped back into a sleep and she settled him down in his crib. She gave him a kiss on the head before walking out the room and cracking the door.
Heading towards her and Jax's room she got out of her jeans and shirt to switch out for a pair of Jax's boxers and a tank top. She joined Jax in the bathroom to brush her teeth quickly. The two of them finished up and went back to the bed, Jax grabbed her from behind and nuzzled her hair.
Tara turned around so they were face to face and gave him a smile he knew all too well. Backing up until the backs of her knees hit the mattress she gently fell back and Jax climbed on top of her. Pulling him into a searing kiss she tangled her legs around his waist. She grabbed his face in her hands and met his eyes, lust, need, and love filled them.
"Finish what you started this morning baby." He gave her his signature Teller smirk and started what was stopped by a little baby boy with terrible timing the morning.
Tara woke up the next morning feeling sore all over in the best way possible. She told Jax not to be gentle last night she wanted him rough and hard. He fucked her brains out in every possible position, all over the house, until midnight hours.
Turning over she saw a note on the bed that read, went to deal with some club business, be back in a few hours. Love you babe. -J.
She knew what he meant, he was going to take care of Jimmy and agent Stahl. Despite what that meant Tara smiled to herself as she got out of bed and walked into Abel's room, their family would finally be able to start over without the worry of the past.
Abel was up and talking to himself, he lit up once he noticing Tara in the room with him. Putting his arms in the arms for her to grab him. "Good morning sweet boy." Picking him up she gave his chubby cheeks each a kiss and went for the kitchen to get them some breakfast.
Jax and the crew had paid Putlova and gotten Jimmy. He tried talking his way out of it and saying that he would pay them whatever money they would want but they weren't having it, Jax and Opie took turns bashing his face in. Chibs gave him the same scar he had because of him, Jax beat the living shit out of him before finally putting the gun to his head. "I told you not to fuck with me or my family, you decided to do both you son of a bitch." His gun went off and the bullet went straight through Jimmy's head.
Before they had gotten Jimmy Jax arranged a meeting with Stahl, she didn't know the club already knew about everything and was aware she needed to meet him alone. She was waiting in the field they agreed on when she hears a gunshot go off and she was clutching her leg as she fell to the floor. Looking up she saw Opie, Jax, and Happy walking towards her.
Happy was carrying a chain with him, she knew it wasn't for anything good. "Jax, what the hell is going on?" Jax looked down on her, "I know you're trying to put us behind bars, you have two different papers drawn up, both are signed but you're giving us three years. I'm here to make sure we get the one that clears us."
"Jax...no... That's not, I mean." She was silenced by Opie who had his gun pointed at her. "Shut up." was all he said, turning to Happy he nodded. Happy went over to her and laid her out, sitting on her legs so she couldn't fight against him. Taking the chain, he tied her hands up with it before dragging her behind her own car and tying her to it. "What.. No you can't do this, look at me Jax you can't do this. I know you have a conscience, don't do this."
Jax huffed, "I do have one, but when my girls crying to me and I'm worried about dying before I even get a chance to meet my son priorities take over conscience. Do it Hap."
Happy took the keys off the seat and started up her car, going full speed her dragged her around dirt, rocks, shit, thorns, and trees until she was bloodied and pleading for her life. Happy stopped the car and untied her, she fell right back to the floor sobbing, pleading with them to let her go and she'd do whatever they wanted.
Opie came up to her, "You should've thought about that before killing MY WIFE and fucking with our family." He lifted the gun and shot until all the rounds were out and June Stahl was a battered bloodied dead body.
The three men cleaned up the mess and burned her body. They were careful not to leave any prints on the car so they just left it there. Jax just wanted to go be with his girl and his son, Opie wanted to go back to his family, and Happy had a tattoo waiting to be done. They got on their bikes and rode off in their own directions.
It was around two o'clock and Tara was sitting on the couch with Abel in her lap watching Teletubbies when she heard the familiar sounds of Jax's bike pulling in. Standing up she turned off the TV and shifted Abel on her hip, the front door opened and she walked up to meet him. He was a little dirty but looked alright.
Jax looked up and saw Tara standing their with Abel on her hip and her bump looking amazing. She walked right into his arms and he wrapped his around her and Abel. "Hey little buddy, I missed you." Kissing his head he then looked at Tara, "Missed you too babe."
She smiled up at him with a silent question on her eyes. He bit his lip and looked at her, "It's done and over with babe." Tara let out a breath she didn't even realize she'd been holding. Standing up on her tiptoes she gave him a passionate kiss, "We're alright baby, we're a family and that's how it's staying."
Jax nodded and smiled at her, "I'll never let anyone change that."
"I know baby, I believe that will all my heart. I love you so much."
"I love you too Tara, always have, always will." her heart swelled every time she heard him say those words, "More than you'll ever know, you always said that. You hungry? I made some lunch but wanted to wait for you to get here before eating.
His smiled grew again, "Starving. Let's go eat." He loosened his embrace on her and took Abel in his arms as they stepped into the kitchen. Tara got their plates ready and Jax sat Abel in his highchair and grabbed some Gerber's toddler food for him, he didn't like the baby food anymore and handled the older kids food well so they let him eat it.
Setting it down for him he laughed as his son grabbed it and started racing food into his mouth, Tara set down a plate of chicken Alfredo and vegetables in front of him. "Thanks babe, it looks amazing." She grinned at him and sat opposite of his seat.
They talked about ideas for the nursery and names for the baby. Jax loved this, smiling as they talked because he wouldn't be missing any of this he'd be here for his kids and girl no matter what.
"I like the idea about a motorcycle theme, it wouldn't be that much harder to add in what we need. I think Abel will be old enough to be in the spare room by the time I pop so we could do something for him in there." Tara was animated while they were talking about this, Jax could see how happy it made her, he knew she was relieved that he wouldn't be doing any prison time hell he was happy about that. He hated the thought of missing his son's birth, he already missed Abel's because Wendy didn't give two shits what happened to him.
"We can do whatever you want babe, we have some time before he comes. Now all we have to talk about is names." Tara looked up at him and nodded. Biting on her bottom lip she shifted in her seat and took a breath. "I really like the name Thomas, it would be a nice way to always remember him and I think your mother would love it."
His eyes changed and got a little glossy, talking about his little brother was always hard to do but it made him happy that Tara wanted to name their son after him, "I love that idea Tara. Thomas Teller, sounds good."
Standing up Tara took both their plates and placed them in the sink, washed up Abel's face and got him out of his high chair. She waited for Jax to stand putting her hand in his when he held it out to her, he walked them into the living room and plopped down on the couch. Tara snuggled into his side and Abel moved over to his chest, tugging on his beard as he laughed to himself. He turned on the TV and felt himself relax.
