Walking into the clubhouse with Jax right behind her, Tara placed her sunglasses up on the top of her head as she walked up to the guys at the bar." Where's Wendy?" Tara asked with a sigh. As much as Tara doesn't want to deal with her right now and get home to her boys. She just wants to get it over with.

" She's in the chapel." Bobby says as he nods towards the two close doors across the way. Tara nods her head and headed towards the doors with Jax right on her heel. Opening one of the doors Tara walked in glancing at Wendy giving her the death stare as she sat across from Wendy.

" I really don't feel like being here today. See I had plans to do some stuff with our boys tonight. I was gonna bake Christmas cookies with them. We were going put on some Christmas movies while we decorate the Christmas tree we bought this morning. But instead here I am wasting my time with you. So, you got five minutes to tell us what you want." Tara says as Jax took his seat between the two women at the head of the reaper table.

" I want to spend Christmas eve with Abel." Wendy said right away.

" Jesus Christ." Jax scoffed as he leans back against his chair and glances over at Wendy." Are you serious right now?" Ever since Abel was born, Wendy only saw Abel maybe like twice. She's been in and out of rehab and Jax still doesn't trust her around Abel and still doesn't believe she's fully clean.

" Because it will my first Christmas eve with him since he was born and now that he's five, I don't want to miss anymore Christmas with him and because he is my son." Wendy answered.

" Wendy, I know this is very difficult for you and I am truly sorry for that. But Abel is our son. I am his mother. I am the one who raised him since he was born and took care of him. Abel doesn't even know you, Wendy. So, no I'm sorry but letting Abel spend Christmas Eve is a bad idea. It's just going to confuse him more and that's the last thing we want for him ."

" Unbelievable." Wendy scoffed as she shakes her head." How many times do we have to go through this? Yes, I signed my rights as a parent over to you. Because I wasn't stable at the time. But I still have the right to get to know him and no matter what you two say, he's my son and the truth will come out soon." Wendy got up from the table and walks towards the door. She sighs softly as she placed her hand on the doorknob and before opening the door, she looks back at Jax and Tara one more time." You guys can punish me all you want cause I personally don't give a shit. I know I deserve it, but don't punish Abel for this. He doesn't deserve it." After Wendy said what she needed to say, she opened the door of the chapel and walked out.

After the door was closed. Tara let out a heavy sigh as she ran her fingers through her hair." Well, that went well." Tara says with sarcasm.

" You ready to go home?" Jax asked.

" Yeah." Tara simply answered as she got up from the table and walked out of the chapel and without stopping, Tara walked out of the clubhouse and straight towards Jax's Dyna. Normally Tara would say goodbye to the guys. But since Wendy had to waste her time. Tara just wanted to go home.

Walking out of the clubhouse, Jax sighs heavily as he looks over at Bobby." Get Lowen on the phone. Tell her I want to meet her in her office first thing tomorrow morning." Jax says as he walked back to Tara. Bobby walked back into the clubhouse as he called the club's lawyer.

" You okay, babe?" Jax asked as he places his hand against her back.

" I will be, once you take me home." Tara says as she grabbed the extra helmet. After she strapped it on and after she felt Jax sitting in front of her. Tara wrapped her arms around his waist and rest her head against his back as she hums softly.

Jax reached behind and gently squeezed her thigh as he brought the kickstand up and with hand still on her thigh and one hand on his handlebar, Jax rode out of the lot and headed for home.


Later that night. Both Abel and Thomas helped Tara bake some Christmas Sugar cookies. They both made Christmas tree cookies, Candy canes, and snowmen cookies. While they all were decorating the cookies with icing, Tara couldn't help but wonder if she was doing the right thing by denying Wendy's request for wanting to spend Christmas Eve with Abel. If the roles was in reverse and Tara was in her position, Tara would do anything to see Thomas. But at the same time Tara wouldn't have hurt Thomas the way Wendy hurt Abel. Tara's thoughts was broken by the sound of her boys laughter.

" Since Christmas is a few days away. Are you still planning on having Christmas dinner?" Jax asked while he was helping Tara get the boys clean up before they all started decorating the Christmas tree.

" Yeah, I want to have it here. It would just be family and maybe few friends. But that's about it." Tara says as she helped Abel down." Come on guys let's go decorate the tree." Tara says as she took Thomas from Jax so he can go get the ornaments from the hallway closet.

While they all were decorating the Christmas tree, they watched a couple of Christmas movies. The first one was The Natural Lampoons Christmas Vacation, which is Tara's all time favorite Christmas movie. After they were done and after Jax plugged the Christmas lights on. Tara put on the Charlie Brown Christmas movie for the boys.

An hour later after the boys took their baths and after Jax and Tara put the boys down for the night. Tara curled up with Jax on the couch as she kept looking at the Christmas tree." You don't think Wendy would try something, do you?" Tara asked as she looks up at him.

" Like what?"

" Like try to take Abel away from us." Tara responded as she sat up and pushed her hair behind her ear." Wendy will do anything to get closer to Abel, that's why she asked to spend Christmas eve with him. You know, I don't trust Wendy because of what she did. But does she really deserve to be punished forever for it, does Abel?"

Jax grabbed Tara's hand and pulls her on his lap as he presented his lips against her temple. Wrapping his arms around her waist." You have a huge heart, Tara Knowles Teller and you're very compassionate. That's why I love you and you're probably right, Wendy doesn't deserve to be punish for it forever. But as of right now, she doesn't deserve to be around Abel."

Tara slowly nods her head as she massage her fingertips against his beard." Yeah, okay baby." Tara says as she leans in and kisses him softly and tenderly as she breath softly against his lips. Wrapping her arms around him. Tara laid against his chest and just stare at their Christmas tree little longer.
