I know I said it would be updated within a week, but sometimes things just happen and well I couldn't get it out to you when I intended to. Hope the chapter makes up for it. Thank you to all the amazing people still sticking with me! I apologize for any errors! I know it's not that long but I'm getting back into it. Enjoy.

It had been a few days since everything happened with Jimmy and Stahl. Their bodies were never found so as far as anyone knew she was just MIA and Jimmy was somewhere halfway around the world hiding. Jax had been in a weird mood and Tara couldn't figure out why, she was just hoping he wasn't rethinking this whole family thing and having another baby. She would talk to him tonight at the club party they were having, typical Friday night rager, but right now she was busy babbling back and forth with the baby on her lap.

"Ah-hi baby boy! Peek-a-boo!" The laughter emitting from him was enough to plaster the biggest smile on her face. Abel was cooing into her neck as he babbled his little life away, swaying to the side when he heard the door swing open. Tara didn't bother to get up, knowing he'd walk right past her anyways and into the shower. She couldn't place her finger on what the hell was wrong with him but he acted the same way when Opie and he killed the guy who was responsible for Donna's death, maybe something similar happened again other than Stahl.

Jax walked through the door, hearing his sons giggles brought a smile to his face. He'd been nervous as hell lately because he was planning on proposing to Tara, he knew she was thinking he wanted to back out on her, which made is so much harder for him to not blow the entire thing and do it on the spot but he had to try his best. Today, he'd been more mellowed out and ready to not act like a dick around her. Tonight was the night though, Tara thought it would be just another party but he knew better, tonight was the night he was making her his forever, as if she hadn't already been. This was just more traditional and like everyday people, not a MC way of anything.

There was only one other time he was this nervous, and it was when he and Tara were in high school.

He was going to ask her to be his Old Lady, make things MC official, she was already his and everyone knew it. Her mind, her body, everything was his and vise versa. Even though they'd talked about it a few times before he was still scared shitless to ask her, she had dreams and ambitions outside of this town so what if she said no to him? He wouldn't do anything if she did but it would break his heart, he never felt like this about anyone before. Tara did things to him that he didn't know how to stop and didn't want to either. She had walked into the dorm he'd been given when he started prospecting.

"Hey baby, what're you doing in here?" She smiled at him as she closed the door behind her and walked over to the bed, sitting in his lap instead of next to him. Jax took her hips in his hand and looked up to her, giving her that shy smile that no one else but her got to see. "Just thinking.." "Oh yeah? What is it you're thinking about?" Smirking she looked down on him before pushing him back into the mattress and straddling him.

He chewed on his bottom lip as he tried to form the words in the right way before asking her. "Jax, come on. It's just me, what's wrong?"

"Be my Old Lady." The words were out of his mouth before he could try to stop them. Tara looked at him in surprise, that isn't what she was thinking was wrong but it made her happy that he wanted to make her his in this way too. Smiling, she kissed him with every ounce of love and passion that was in her, and he got his answer.

Walking to the couch he smiled as he smacked a kiss on his son's head and smiled while rubbing a hand over Tara's belly. "Hey babe, I'm gonna go shower if he goes down in time you come join me." Smirking he sauntered off into the hallway, taking off his clothes as he went down further and further. Tara was more confused than ever, she was thinking to herself what the hell was up with him, she stood with Abel and rocked him side to side as she went to his room to try and set him down for a nap. He was a little fussy but eventually fell asleep in her arms, she put him into his crib gently and cracked the door.

Walking to the master bathroom she peeked her head through to see Jax standing in the shower, hands up on the wall, letting the water cascade down over his body. Tara stood there for a little enjoying the view, a view that no one else would ever get unless they wanted to end up with a black eye, before finally stripping herself and gliding the door open. Before she could even close it all the way Jax was on her, pinning her up against the wall and smashing his lips into hers. Out of habit, her hands flew into his hair fisting it, pulling him even closer to her, if words couldn't be said, this was the way they knew everything might just be alright in the end. Their bodies both spoke words that wouldn't be able to be said at times like this.

Pulling back Jax peered into her eyes, "I'm sorry for acting like a dick, babe." Tara wrapped her legs around his waist, "I love you," he continued "I always will no matter what happens Tara. You're the only one who gets me and knows the me that isn't a facade for everyone else." Pushing her up further against the wall he interlocked his hands under her ass and shifted her a little more comfortable for her and the baby.

"Every touch makes me fall even more for you." Those words were Tara's undoing as she gripped his hair in her hands tighter, pulling him from her neck. looking directly into his eyes she practically growled. "Love me, now Jax." Reaching down between them two Tara grabbed him in her hand and positioned herself over him, eye to eye the whole time as she slowly sank onto him letting her moans leave her mouth. Slanting his lips over hers, Jax kissed her slowly and sweetly as the two of them found their rhythm and quickened their pace.

Turning off the water Jax stepped out the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist before grabbing another and wrapping it around Tara. Giving her love bites along her neck making her giggle. Tara walked over to the bed and sat down, "You want to talk about what's been going on lately?" Jax didn't want to blow his cover but he also knew he didn't want to lie to her, so he opted for a vague truth, "Just been on edge babe, Got something really important coming up and I don't want to mess it up." Turning around from the sink to face her he could see she wanted to know some more but that was all he could say without giving away his plans.

"It'll all be okay now, I figured out what I have to do. It'll be done soon and then I'll be with us, here again." She nodded at his words, happy to know he was still in this. She'd sit back and let whatever happened happen and allow thing to take care of themselves. Standing up she walked up to him and put her arms around him, resting her chin on his chest and looking up at him, "I love you Jax, no matter what." "I love you too, babe." They kissed once more before getting into some clothes and heading into the living room to get some peace and quiet before Abel woke up.

Jax plopped down into the sofa and Tara laid across it, resting her head against his thigh as he played with her hair. She felt herself being pulled into sleep, intertwining her fingers with Jax's.

Tara woke up in their bed, looking over to the nightstand she saw that it was nearly eight o'clock at night. She had slept all day, the last thing she remembered was lying with Jax on the sofa. Stretching out she yawned herself awake and began to get out of the bed, thinking Jax had already left to the garage she was startled when she heard a noise come from the living room. Leaning over, Tara grabbed the gun from inside the nightstand drawer and tip toed through the hallway, gun in hand.

Turning her head to the direction of the noise, she saw a sweet moment at play. Jax was lying down on the floor with Abel on his chest patting the beat of a drum against it, breathing a sigh of relief she walked further into the scene.

Jax was smiling when he looked up from Abel to see Tara walking in, his eyebrows knotting together when he saw the gun in her hand, "Everything okay Tara?"

She looked at the gun and then back at him, "Yeah, I thought you'd left already and got a little nervous with the noise." Setting the gun down on the coffee table she waddled her way to him and carefully plopped herself down on the floor, tucking her feet beneath her. "When're we heading to the clubhouse? I haven't called Nita yet and I still have to get some things together for her and Abel."

"Nah babe, Abel's going with us tonight. Figured it'd be better to have him close to us tonight, I'm sure ma' wouldn't mind watching him for a little while anyway." Tonight wasn't the typical Friday night rager, no, tonight was the night Jax was going to pop the question and hope with everything he had that she'd say yes. It'd probably turn into one later but for a while it'd be family friendly enough to have Abel there with no worries.

Tara looked at him suspiciously but didn't question him, "Alright baby, I'm going to hop in the shower real quick, can you get him ready for me please?" Jax nodded at her request and tried to hide his amusement as Tara tried getting up without his help. "Asshole" she smiled as she saw him laughing, giving him a quick kiss before heading out.

Jax got on his feet and started for Abel's room to get the baby ready.

"Jax are you sure it's okay for him to be here? I don't want him around all the noise." Tara had been questioning him the entire ride up to the club house and Jax was trying not to laugh at her motherly instincts that he loved. "I'm sure babe, when things start getting too crazy we'll have Gemma take him back home." Tara nodded, she was fine with that.

Walking through the doors they saw everyone talking and laughing together which made Tara smile brightly. That was until she saw a certain blonde who didn't know what it meant to stay away from what was hers. "What the hell is she doing here?" She asked venomously as she glared at Ima. Jax looked over, "I have no idea. I swear."

Tara handed Abel to Jax and began walking, before she got too far she felt Jax grab her hand and pull her back a little. "Tara... You're pregnant. I don't need you doing this, please." She took her hand away and turned around to face him, "When's it going to stop Jax? Huh? When are they finally going to realize you're taken and I don't share. It's a constant fight with everyone." She walked away, spotting Lyla at the bar she joined her.

"Don't worry brotha, Lyla had the same reaction. They'll cool down."

Jax looked at his best friend, "How the hell am I supposed to propose and make her mind forever in every way when these bitches keep popping up left and right?" It wasn't really a question to Opie as it was to himself, but Opie was going to help him out.

"Don't stop Jax, don't let anything stop you from doing this tonight. Tara wants to make sure you're the one who's serious about all this and that you can say no. You'll be fine." Grasping his shoulder he patted Abel's head. Jax reluctantly smiled at his friends words, "you're right Ope."

He walked over to Tara, "Babe can we talk?" She looked up at him from Lyla and nodded before excusing herself and walking with him to the back dorm rooms.

"Tara, I know I've fucked up before and made you cry and think about everything but I'd never do anything to hurt you again, please tell me you know that. You're giving me the best possible things to look forward to in life, with our sons." Looking at him she saw the truth in his eyes and words, pulling Abel from him and onto her she shyly smiled at Jax.

"I know, I'm sorry she just took me by surprise that's all." Resting her head on his shoulder she continued, "But if the bitch tries anything I'm not holding back." Jax chuckled at how serious she sounded right now, and he knew very well she was being serious.

"Whatever you gotta do babe just don't hurt my boy in there." Rubbing a hand over her belly he smiled to himself, he didn't need anything else, didn't want anything else but this in his life.

It had been a couple hours and headed into midnight hours, Abel had been picked up by Nita earlier and Jax was nursing a beer trying to get his head together to ask Tara. Opie and him had both been good at steering clear of Ima so far and they hoped it stayed like that. Getting up Jax banged his fist in the table to get everyone's attention.

"Listen up everyone!" When everyone had their eyes on him he went on, "You all know I have a son and another one on the way, I'm lucky enough to have the only love I've ever had by my side through this all." He faced Tara, who was sitting by Lyla and Gemma, "I love you more than anything Tara.. I know we've been through some shit but you've stuck around and I wouldn't want to ever change."

Tara gasped as Jax sunk to one knee in front of her and pulled out a box, "J..Jax what.."

"Tara, You've been mine since the day we met and I want you to be mine in every way. Be mine forever, marry me?"

Tara had tears in her eyes as she stood from the seat and looked down at Jax. She didn't know what to say, she knew what she wanted to say but no words were coming out. Instead, she nodded her head like crazy and smiled the brightest smile she'd smiled in a long time. Sliding the ring on her finger Jax stood in time to catch Tara as she flung herself into him and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Everyone cheered and clapped as congratulations went all around them, they were enveloped in a gigantic hug. Jax pulled Tara through the crowd and headed into the dorm room. Tara sat on the bed and was still smiling like an idiot at him, "Is this why you've been acting so weird lately?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry babe but I've been so nervous about all this." Tara stretched out her hand for him and took it, pulling him into the bed and flipped so she was straddling him.

She bent down and kissed him, "I love you" she said each word between kisses. Grabbing her hips Jax smiled against her lips, "I love you too babe."

Tara started pulling her shirt off, she was going to show him, once again, exactly why she's the only one he'll ever need. And he was going to spend the night showing her why he meant every word he'd say and he was he only man she'd ever need or want.

When they got home the next morning they found Gemma sitting on the couch with Abel, laughing at his nonsense babbles. Turning around Gemma smiled at them, "Say hi mommy and daddy!" Getting up she gave them both a hug, "why don't you two rest a little while and I'll take him to the park?" Tara was too tired to disagree as she leaned on Jax, who was laughing a little.

"Yeah, go ahead ma'." He kissed her cheek and closed the door behind the two of them. Picking up Tara he walked into their bedroom and laid her down on the bed, taking her shoes off and undressing her, putting on one of his shirts on her. Tara grabbed him and pulled him down with her, head in his chest and hands intertwined she dozed off into a peaceful sleep. Jax lay awake for a while looking at her, happier than ever, before drifting off to sleep as well.

~Review peeps, please just no "more" or "I love it" I like hearing that but it doesn't give me anything to work with for adjustments or future story lines for chapters.
