As always, I apologize for any errors. Let me know what you guys think! Reviews feed my muse and she's been crumby lately.
Tara had been laying in the bed for about an hour, sore in the best way possible. She loved when Jax was gentle and made love to her but sometimes she needed him to be aggressive and fuck the daylights out of her. This was one of the days that she needed that, hell she wanted it. He had gotten up to shower and she was too limp to follow so she told him she'd just wait for him to finish and she'd be in bed, waiting for him. But now she was a little better and wanted to join him, slowly sliding out, she made her way to the bathroom and walked in. Standing by the door, she leaned against it and admired the view for a short while before shedding herself of her clothing and making her way to the shower. Opening it she stepped in, only to be pushed against the wall the second the door slid closed.
Grabbing his hair in her hands, she moaned as his lips made their way down her throat, licking and sucking at her skin. "Mmm," was the only coherent word that could find its way from her mouth. The sensation only lasted a minute before she huffed a disapproval when Jax took his mouth off her and brought his eyes to look into hers. "Babe, as much as I want to stay here and explore your body like I don't already know every inch.. We gotta get ready and head to the clubhouse. I have some things to take care of and Lyla wants to see you. Then I have plans for us." She didn't like it all that much but a smile graced her face because he had already planned their day. Reaching up she grabbed his face and pressed a tender kiss to his lips. They finished their shower and got dressed before hopping in the car and making their way over to the clubhouse.
Walking into the main room, Jax kissed Tara before motioning for the guys to walk into the church. Opie walked over and gave her one of his famous bear hugs, well as good as it was going to get with her belly in the way, and a kiss on the head before meeting up with the rest of the members. Walking over to the barstool she sat and looked around, Jax had said Lyla wanted to see her but she couldn't spot her around anywhere. "Tara." She looked over and saw Lyla coming out of the bathroom, getting up she walked the rest of the way. The two of them embraced in a long hug before pulling back and smiling at each other.
Heading over to the bar area they got some water from the guy working it and turned to face each other. "So what's been going on with you, haven't talked to you in a while." Lyla blushed at Tara's words. "Opie's been keeping me very.. um, busy. And he keeps saying something about 'You shouldn't be going out the house when you're this far along, you could go into labor.' Apparently having two kids already doesn't help him understand I'm only 30 weeks and have a while to go.." They broke into a laughter at her horrible mimicking of Opie.
"I'm happy to see you guys are doing good." Tara looked at her friend, at first she hadn't really liked Lyla because of what she did for a living, but after a while the two of them got really close and well here they were. "Jax has been a nervous wreck about the baby, too. He's so worried and I love him for it but he's driving himself and me crazy at the same time. But we went to the doctor today and hopefully that settled his nerves for now, and he could relax until I'm in labor and God knows he'll lose his shit." Another round of laughter came from the two of them just as the church doors opened.
An amused looking Jax and Opie walked out, shoving each other playfully as their eyes landed on their women by the tables. Making their way over, they wove their hands through the girl's hair and gave them the kiss of a life. Pulling back Jax smiled down at his woman, brushing his thumbs over her cheeks and loved the smile that was on her face. "You ready to go, babe?" Nodding with excitement Tara let Jax pull her up from the stool and take her towards the door. Stopping abruptly, Tara turned back around to face Lyla and said her goodbyes, laughing when she saw Opie was practically mauling her.
Once they go to the car and Jax started it up Tara looked at him quizzically, "Where are you taking me, Jax?" He didn't answer her question, just looked at her with a smirk and took off from the clubhouse. Tara scowled at him before turning her body away to rest her head against the window and look out at the town while they drove through, her eyes feeling heavier and heavier the longer they drove. Before she knew it, she let her exhaustion take her and she dozed off.
Looking over at her, Jax smiled when he saw her sleeping. Taking the hand that had been in his, he pressed a kiss to it before he placed it back down on his lap and looked back up to the road. He was taking her back to the spot they use to go to when they were teenagers but haven't been to since before Tara left. Not wanting to think about that Jax turned his thoughts back to what he wanted to think about instead. He and Tara hadn't exactly had time to themselves since everything happened, Abel takes a lot of of them and by the end of the day both of them are too tired to do much. He loved his son but he was tired of being cockblocked, so he called his mother and made sure she would be able to watch him for a while so he and Tara could get out.
Turning on the radio, he let the music fill the comfortable silence that had fallen since Tara had fallen asleep and continued driving for another hour before he began reaching his destination.
Feeling the car start to bump around, Tara slowly opened her eyes and let herself adjust to the darker sky. Looking towards Jax with half opened eyes she quirked an eyebrow at him, "You're not bringing me out here to kill me, are you?" She teased, but her breath hitched when she looked around some more and realized they were at their spot, a spot she hadn't been to in what seems like an eternity. Tears began to cloud her vision. "You still remember?"
Pulling up to the lake, Jax put the car in park and looked at her, "How can I forgot the place I knew I loved you?" Before she had a chance to reply, he had opened his door and stepped out, walking over he opened hers for her and helped her hop out. When her feet hit the ground, she fisted his shirt in her hands and brought his mouth down to hers, the kiss was raw and greedy. She gave him all that he gave her, a disappointed sound left her when he pulled back a couple minutes later to look down at her. "Come on, babe." Taking her hand in his, he walked around the car and towards the lake, where there was a blanket laid out with some flowers and a basket on it. It was right next to the water, the lake wasn't enormous but it was pretty big and it spanned out a good eighty miles, surrounded by trees and animals.
Tara couldn't help feeling that spread throughout her, and she didn't want to. Squeezing his hand just a little tighter she smiled and she looked down at what he had done. "Jax, this is amazing." She toed off her sandals and went to go sit next to him, when he grabbed her hips and guided her to his lap. She groaned. "Jax I'm not two months pregnant anymore and I sure as hell am not light."
He couldn't help but chuckle at her completely serious expression. "You're still sexy as fuck, babe." He wiggled her hips against his erection just to show her that she still affected him the same as she always had. Another chuckle escaped his lips when she moaned and pushed down on him even further. Spreading his legs, he nestled her between them and grabbed her hands in his as the fell in another silence and looked out at the gorgeous view. The sun had begun setting before they got there and now they sky was a dark orange color with hues of pink and the stormy clouds peaked through everything.
"I wanted to bring you out here to get us away from all the craziness that's been going on with everything. I know I told you shit would settle down and I feel like every time it starts to something even shittier pops up, it makes me nervous about us, I can't lose you again. But I don't want anything happening to any of the guys either." Tara slipped her head on his shoulder and turned to look at him, seeing a mix of emotions cloud his eyes. She loved this about him, even though it scared the shit out of her too, he cared about the guys because they're his family. They've been there for him through everything, and that includes the time she left him broken, helped him through a lot of times when she wasn't there and she could never hate him for having such a good heart. Even if he did things he shouldn't do because his ego and pride got in the way of his better judgment.
Moving her neck up, she brushed her lips across his stubble filled cheek as she smiled at him. "Jax, I'm here to stay. I can't be without you just as bad as you can't be without me and I honestly don't want to be, ever again. It damn near killed me the first time, even if I knew I had to do it. Look what needed up happening. I don't think me coming back here was any kind of weird coincidence. It was a play at destiny because no matter what my heart's always been with you and that'll never change. Life can throw whatever the hell it pleases at us but as long as we do it as a team, we'll overcome just about anything." Turning his head, his lips came in contact with hers as he brought his hand to rest of her baby bump. The love he had for her just got stronger, something he didn't even know was possible at this point.
Wanting to bring some light back to the conversation he smiled against her lips, "I was also getting tired of getting cockblocked by my own son so I had to get you away to myself." He felt her vibrating against him as she burst out laughing. "I'm being serious babe," even though he wasn't "I love him more than anything but sometimes daddy's gotta get some mommy time or I'll burst out crying too." That elicited more laughter from her and it made him happy, making her laugh was something he would never get tired of.
Getting up enough to be able to turn in his arms, Tara wrapped her arms around his neck and straddled him. "Class act, Teller." She murmured against his lips before giving him a desperate kiss, one that had his hand moving to cup her ass and hers flying into his hair. "Now," she moved her lips from his just enough to talk, "let's see what we can do about this cockblocking situation, we wouldn't want you left hanging and upset." She couldn't help but laugh at the groan that he let out when she reached between them and grabbed him through his jeans.
Her laugh quickly died off and turned into a moan when his hand glided down her round stomach and play with the elastic of her jeans. Pushing him down until his back was against the ground, she slid his shirt up his body only letting him up far enough to rip it over his head, pushing him back down when it was off. Reaching down she cupped his face in her hands and leaned down to kiss him, which was more than a little difficult because of her bump. Laughing into her mouth as she huffed, Jax carefully lifted her up and switched them so she was on bottom, spreading her legs open with his knees to cradle himself within them.
"You look so beautifully babe." His words brought a smile to her face as she looked up and saw emotions flashing through his eyes that she couldn't quite name, but it brought warmth through her. Leaning down he kissed her, slowly and surely. Tara wrapped her arms around his neck and held onto him, she missed Abel and loved him like crazy but she was glad he took her away for a little. She missed him, not so much for their physical connection but just holding him and not rushing things to get done before their little devil screamed letting them know he was awake and didn't want to be alone any longer. Tonight was just for them.
Walking through their house, Jax set down what they brought from the car down by the door, while Tara waddled on over to the kitchen to set the basket down by the kitchen table. She'd been waddling for about a month now because her bump had gotten quite big. He tried to bite back his smirks and chuckles when he watched her, knowing it would do nothing but earn him a cold glare and a "I don't know what you're laughing about, you're never touching me again after this baby is out. It's your fault," which only made him laugh more, but to himself. Not catching himself in time he looked up and saw the famous glare she was shooting him when she noticed his smirk. She opened her mouth to talk but he quickly quieted her by bringing his lips down on her and giving her a hell of a kiss. "I love you, and I love the bump, quit moping. My boys doing a good job in there." She rolled her eyes at his comment but that didn't stop the smile from gracing her face.
"Mhhm, whatever you say Jax. What time is Abel coming back?" She missed him and his nonsense babbling whenever he was around them. She was glad they got out on their own for a while, though, just enjoying each other, and getting orgasms out of it was just an added bonus.
Kissing her one more time he pulled back and looked in her eyes, "We're heading over there later tonight for Gemma's dinner, he comes back with us after that." He saw surprise flash through her eyes, "She texted me while we were gone and said she was throwing a small dinner tonight and if we weren't there Hell would be given." His own lips twitched as he saw Tara begin to laugh. Pulling her against him, his hand went around her and rested right above her ass, thumbs circling her lower back as they looked at each other. "Why don't you go lay down for a little? You looked worn out. I gotta call Ope, anyway, and handle something real quick." Nodding on a yawn she gave him another quick kiss and made her way to their room. As soon as her head hit the pillow she felt herself falling asleep.
Jax rubbed his eyes as he pulled his bike up to Opies house, he hadn't gotten very much sleep either but he had to finish this up before he went back and joined Tara.
Hearing the door close he looked up to see Opie coming down the steps. He looked more on edge than usual but Jax didn't bother asking why, it was the same reason he'd been on edge. Their babies were due soon and the nerves had finally started settling in about it all, not that Jax wasn't happy because he was more than happy to be having a kid with the only woman he thought he'd ever have kids with, but plans changed. He was just grateful she was back in his arms, and nothing would jeopardize that.
"What's up man." Opie greeted as he clapped Jax on the back. Getting off his bike, he leaned back against it and took out his cigarettes. Lighting it he looked at his friend, who was like a brother to him. He had called him over because he needed to talk about something and Jax said he'd call him back whenever he and Tara got back. Hence that's why he was here now. "Did Gemma tell you?"
"About the dinner tonight? Yeah, she texted when me and Tara were on our way back." He paused when he saw Opies face, "Why is there something she didn't tell me?"
Noticing the hint of anxiety and anger in his words Opie shook his head, to wave off his tone. "No, it's nothing like that. It's just more of a baby shower type thing for the girls than it is a dinner.. She had me bring everything over earlier and told me to make sure the girls didn't know or catch on but I figured I would at least let you know what was going on so you weren't caught off guard too." He smirked over at Jax, "Your mother is something else."
Grunting in agreement, Jax looked up at him. "So since its baby shit do we have to be there?" He couldn't help but chuckle, he loved his mother and he loved Tara but he sure as hell didn't want to be around a bunch of chick shit and all this baby talk. Joining in on the chuckles, Opie shook his head, "Gemma just wants us to get the girls ready and over there. She said she'll take care of the rest but no guys are allowed until the end when they're opening up all the shit for the babies."
Finishing up their talk they said their goodbyes and Jax started up his bike to get back to Tara.
When he got to the house he rid himself of his clothes, nothing but boxers staying on and climbed in and felt himself relax. Tara turned over and laid her arm across his toned stomach while her leg went over both of his. Soon they were both out.
Waking up to a phone going off Tara looked to see it was now dark outside. Reaching for the phone she saw it was Gemma, she pressed the phone to her ear and muttered a sleep laced greeting. "Are you two almost ready?" Gemma's voice was too loud for her liking right now and she grunted.
"Actually we were still sleeping but I'll wake Jax up right now and we'll be over soon." She could hear Gemma mumbling her disapproval before her voice came back across, "Alright you two, I'll see you in a little while." With that she hung up and Tara laid back down, placing her hand over Jax's chest. "Baby." She shook him slightly only to be grunted at before his hand reached over hers and stopped her movements.
"Go back to sleep." He grumbled as he pulled her closer to his body. It sounded appealing, boy did it ever, but she couldn't. She knew how Gemma was and she didn't put it past her not to come knocking their door down if they didn't show up. "As much as I want to Prince, we can't." She started trailing kisses along his chest, on both cheeks, up his scruffy face until her lips landed an inch from his. "We have to get to your mother's before she murders us both." With that she sealed her lips over his, at first he wasn't very responsive, still getting to be awake but after a minute she felt the swipe of his tongue and moaned into him. Wrapping her arms around his neck she came up to straddle him, "Come on baby, we've gotta get up."
Moving his hands around her, he cupped her ass in his hands as his tongue claimed hers, he continued his slow attack on her for another minute before pulling back and letting her get some air. "Fine let's go shower." She eyed him suspiciously for a second, knowing exactly what would be happening in that shower but she didn't fight him because she wanted it to happen. He slid her off his lap and grabbed her hand, making his way towards the shower, where things were going to get dirty and far from clean.
An hour and a half later they were pulling up to Gemma's, Tara was looking over at Jax, "Are you okay? You've been weirdly quiet the entire way here.."
Grabbing her hand he kissed it and smiled at her, "Yeah baby, I'm fine." Looking out the window he smirked at Opie, who was rolling his eyes at something Lyla was saying. Probably getting questioned like himself. "Let's go up to them before they head in." He gave her a quick kiss before hopping out and going over to her side to help her. She still eyed him but gave up and smile over at Lyla who was looking at Opie the same way she had been with Jax seconds ago.
"Hey Tara!" The two of them embraced in a long hug before pulling back and smiling at each other.
"Alright you two can cry together later, we have a dinner to tend to." Rolling her eyes at Opie's comment, Lyla took his hand as Tara took Jax's and the four of them walked to the door. Twisting the doorknob, the two shoed the girls in first. "Surprise!" Was yelled through the house and Lyla and Tara snapped their heads around, looking at everyone in the room. The place was decorated with baby stuff and there was food lined up and streamers all over the place. Gemma walked up to them and gave them each a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Gemma.. What is all this?" Tara asked through tear filled eyes. She knew exactly what it was and her heart swelled thinking about it. Lyla was next to her, crying too, as they took in everything around them and all the people.
"I decided you two needed something thrown for you after all the shit that's happened. We needed to celebrate something and I figured it help you out some to not have to worry about all the details and what they babies will need."
Both of the girls had rushed into her arms and wrapped them around her, quietly crying into her shoulders as she hugged them back. "Okay, no more crying. Happiness only." She smiled at the two of them before looking over at her son and his best friend and smirking, "I'm shocked you two actually hid it from them. And you better be happy you did and I don't have to kick your ass for ruining it."
Biting back a smile, they both hugged the matriarch and their ladies. "Alright you two go on and get out of here. This is a no dick zone for the next couple of hours." Tara giggled at Gemma's serious tone and went to give Jax one more kiss, this one was longer and held promises of later in it. "Wait.. Where's Abel?" She looked between Jax and Gemma. Gemma pointed to one of the rooms in the back, "He fell asleep a while ago so I put him in there, he can join whenever he's up." Nodding her head she turned back to Jax and gave him one more quick peck on the lips. Lyla did the same with Opie and the guys laughed as they kept coming back for "one more kiss."
The girls finally let go and went to go talk with the rest of the people, turning quickly Jax and Opie high tailed their asses out of there and headed for the clubhouse.
