Tara felt like a weight had been lifted since she told Donna about the baby. She now had someone she could confide in and offer her advice about being pregnant. Donna wasn't happy about not telling Jax yet but she understood. Grumbling to herself, Tara wondered why she had chosen today to get her cutlass looked at, once she noticed Gemma on the lot. Why did she have all the bad luck, she thought to herself.
Pulling the cutlass into the lot near the mechanic bay and she turned off the engine. Getting out of the lot, she saw Jax looking at her, finishing his conversation with Unser and smiled. Jax walked towards her asking ''everything okay?''. Tara explained that the cutlass was in pretty bad shape and was hoping he could take a look at it. Asking for a lift, as she needed to leave the cutlass at the garage so that Lowell could have a look. Jax proceeded to tell her that he was going out of town for a little bit and instead asked his mother to give her ride.
Tara immediately shook her head, preferring to walk then be stuck in a small space with Gemma without any witnesses. Gemma had made no secret that she hated Tara and would prefer her to be anywhere but Charming. God imagine if she knew I was pregnant with her grandchild, would she treat her any differently or still look her like she is the anti-Christ Tara thought to herself. Tara started to offer to get a bus or taxi but Gemma interpreted saying ''Love to give the good doctor a lift'' with a smirk.
After signing the paper work that Lowell gave her, she walked towards Gemma and opened the door to get into the car. Gemma looked at Tara and then started the car ''Mind if I smoke?'' and "If I said Yes?'' Tara replied. Although she would have preferred Gemma to not smoke, she certainly wasn't going to tell her she was pregnant so she wouldn't.
Driving off, Gemma made some comment about how it must be hard being alone in the house, but Tara would only be alone for another 7 ½ months but instead told her how there was so much to do as her dad was a pack rat. After Gemma had eased her into the conversation a little more, she decided to spring ''reason your packing?''. Tara was pissed that Gemma went through her bag, pulling it closer in hopes she didn't see the ultrasound picture making an excuse about how she lived in a bad neighbourhood in Chicago.
As soon as Gemma dropped her off, Tara raced inside to check her purse. Noticing the side pocket was still locked she breathed out in relief, as it looked like the ultrasound picture hadn't been seen. Tara then called Donna to tell her about the close call; leaving out the details about the gun as she knew if she told Donna anything about Kohn, she would want to tell Opie who would tell Jax. Tara then spent some of her afternoon picking up items for the house and the baby.
Later that afternoon, Tara heard a knock on the door. Pulling open the door to find Gemma standing there in her too-tight outfit that is not age appropriate, and to be honest kind of slutty. Tara leaned against the door about to ask the reason for her visit, when Gemma just pushed past walking straight instead. So much for common politeness. Gemma looked around at the clutter, offering to send a prospect over to give her a hand; Tara shot it down quickly knowing it was just an excuse for Gemma to snoop further into her life. Noticing a baby's outfit on the couch, Tara discreetly moved closer to move it so that Gemma couldn't see it while Gemma was saying something about Tara's reasons for leaving Chicago for a ''shit-filled house'', toughing some old newspapers.
''Do I scare you that much?'' Tara asked. ''I don't forget. I'm not worried about you. Just the people you touch. Jax is in a strange place. He doesn't need any outside voices in his head. Stay clear of him'' Gemma warned, moving closer to Tara.
''We're not 19 years old anymore. You can't dictate what he does, who he sees" but she was interrupted by Gemma "I'm his mother, and until I am dead and cold. I'm going to do anything to protect him''
''Oh and, uh… not sure why you're carrying a gun… but if you're going to use one…make sure to be safe'' she said placing the gun on the table. Walking towards the door ''no serial numbers'' and closing the door.
Waiting until she heard Gemma's car start and pull away. Tara touched her stomach saying ''we have to be careful, it's been too close today''.
Tara was greeted by the receptionist Shirley when walking in at the start of her shift. Someone had left an envelope for her. Thanking Shirley and needing to start her rounds, she put the envelope in her office and went to check on her patients. When it was quiet later and wanting to see Abel, she stopped by her office and grabbed the envelope. Opening the envelope there were pictures of Jax fucking some girl, and the girl on his motorcycle. There were also photos of her walking out of her doctor appointment and pictures of Donna and her while in Lodi. Closing the envelope, she walked to Abel's room. Jax was sitting inside watching Abel, she walked over towards Abel lightly touching him, speaking to Abel ''Hey buddy''. Jax and Tara were standing next to each other, with Tara's hand on Abel, smiling at him and her other hand in Jax's hand. Gemma was outside watching their interaction with a grimace on her face.
