Chapter 17
Jax and the guys walk up to the motel room that Carla told them Wendy was staying in. Jax knocks on the door while the guys are hiding at each side of the door. Wendy sees Jax through the peephole and opens the door. "Jax. What are you doing here?" she asked smiling. "We need to talk." he tells her and she lets him in. The rest of the club follow him in. "What's going on?" she get scared. "You really thought we wouldn't find out about your plan to take Abel?" Jax says. "He's my son, Jax." Wendy says. "No, he isn't. Gracie is his mom. You will never be his mom." Jax seethes. Wendy cowers back. "You thought you were going to take him from me and my wife when you can't even stay clean. Who was gonna take care of him while you got high? You?" he asked getting more pissed. "I just want my son." she says crying. "He's not your son!" Jax yells. "You were told not to have any contact and to stay away from Abel. We ain't letting that shit go. You know that Wendy." Clay says. "What are you going to do?" she asked. "Grab her." Clay says. They take her out to the van and head out to the warehouse. After an hour of making her sweat, Jax finally puts a bullet in her head, killing her.
Walking back into the clubhouse, Jax walks over to me and I am sitting there holding Abel. Sitting down next to me, he rubs the top of Abel's head and then kisses me softly, he whispers "It's done." I lay my head on his shoulder and hold Abel a little closer. Abel dozes off, and I can't put him down. We sit and talk a little longer with the guys before we head to the dorm for the night. The prospect put the pack and play up for us while the guys were gone. Sitting on the bed, holding Abel, Jax says "Let me put him down." I look at Jax and hand Abel to him. We lay down in the bed and he holds me close but I keep looking over at Abel. "Babe, he's fine. No one is going to get to him." Jax tells me. "I know but, Jax, I was so scared she was going to take him from us. He's my baby, Jax. Our baby." I tell him. "I know baby. I made sure she knew that you were his mom, not her." he tells me. I lay down with my head on his chest. "I love you Jax." I say. "I love you too babe." he says.
Waking up the next morning, I hear Abel laughing. I open my eyes and see Jax changing Abel. "Morning babe." he says. "Hey." I say. I look at Abel and he looks at me and smiles. "How's our boy?" I asked. "He's good. Fed and changed and looks like he wants Mommy." he says before handing Abel to me. "Morning baby boy." I coo to him and he starts babbling back. I hold him close and he snuggles up to me. "He loves his momma." Jax says. "What about you?" I asked. "I love his momma too." he says before kissing me softly.
Heading out to the main room, with Abel in tow. I take a seat at the table by Gemma and she says "Hand me my grandson." I look at Abel for a second before kissing his head and handing him to Gemma. She leans over and says "It's okay baby. She ain't coming back." I sigh and say "I know." We both just sit and watch Abel sleep.
After a while, Jax and I head home. Sitting in the living room while Abel is sleeping in his crib, Jax and I order pizza. Once it gets there, we eat and snuggle up in bed. "I love you Jackson. Thank you." I say. "For what babe?" he asked. "Keeping her from taking our son." I tell him. "I will always protect the two of you." he tells me. "I know and that's why I love you so much." I say. "I love you too babe." he says before kissing me softly.
