Chapter 11
Jade looked at her personal calendar to see when the last time she had a menstrual. She always marked CT for 'crying time" and she did not see a CT marked for almost 10 weeks. How did she not notice she was not having her period? Maybe because you just went through a trauma she told herself.
Jade composed herself and dialed Gemma.
"Hey baby. Did you take the test like I asked you?"
"Yes. I am pregnant." Jade suppressed her tears.
"I knew it. Did you tell Jax?" Gemma asked.
"He has not come home."
"Really?"
"Would you know where he would be Gemma?"
Gemma was silent for a few seconds. The image of him and Tara rushed through her mind. She shook it out of her head. She knew her son could not be that stupid.
"Maybe he is at the clubhouse baby. I will go check. He needs to know you are pregnant. I will call you when I find him.
Jade hung up the phone and knew something was up. Why would Gemma go looking for Jax?
Jade felt like there was a brick in her stomach. He was with her. She just felt it in her gut. He was with Tara. Jade had no idea where she lived. She called up one person besides Gemma who would know. Wayne Unser.
"Hello?" Wayne answered tired after a long day at work.
"Hey Wayne it's Jade. How are you?" she asked sort of impatiently. She has really come to like Wayne but right now she was on a mission.
"I'm good Jade. Is everything alright?"
"I'm fine Wayne. I was wondering if by chance you would have the Dr. Tara's address."
Wayne shifted the phone from one ear to the next. Shit was about to go down. He knew this woman had a Gemma bone in her and she would not let up until he told her. She asked him to come over to watch Abel for a few. He reluctantly gave in.
"Thanks Wayne!" Jade quickly hung up the phone and pulled her hair in a tight bun with no earrings to accent her face. She did not know what she would be walking into. This doctor bitch knew he was with her and if she had sex with him she was going to let her have it and then let Jax have it for sticking his dick in her. As Jade threw on a SAMCRO t-shirt and jeans she headed out the door when Wayne pulled up. She gave him a quick hug and thank you.
As she open the door to her car she caught her reflection in her car window and hesitated for a split second and wonder who was this stranger looking back at her. A year ago she would never have went after a man and was prepared to fight for him. A year ago she was not in love with Jackson Nathaniel Teller and pregnant with his child at the time. It was a whole new ball game. She also felt as a black woman she needed to let these women know she was not a push over. All throughout history black women were viewed as less than human by the majority and that included some white women who chose to not acknowledge her presence and consider her invisible. Well not here in Charming. She was the VP's old lady (whether he said it out loud or not) and she was not going to sit back and be walked over.
Following her GPS she found Tara's house with Jax bike parked out front. Yep it was after midnight what was he doing at her house. Just as she got out her car Gemma pulled up behind her. Gemma rushed out her car to run after Jade who was already heading to the door.
"Jade no! Let me handle this." Jade snatched her hand arm out of Gemma's tight grip.
"No Gemma I got this." Jade pounded on the door.
" Jade you have to smarter than this. You are pregnant and you are a professional in this town. You can't come undone over this." Jade shook her head not believing her ears.
"Gemma you told me I had to be strong being his woman. You told me not to let anyone walk over me and protect my family at all cost!" Jade found herself yelling.
Hearing the pounding at her door and yelling outside Tara got up from bed. She looked over at Jax who was still fast asleep, she threw a robe over her naked body and walked to the door. She asked who it was before finding her answer when she looked through her peep hole.
"Shit!" she whispered to herself. Crap what was she going to do? Gemma and Jax's woman were at her door. How did they find out where she lived? It had to have been Gemma. Tara ran to her bedroom to wake up Jax. She shook him hard.
"Jax wake up!" she hissed at him. She shook him harder and he finally groan and woke up.
"What's up?"
"Your mom and your girlfriend are outside." Jax stood straight up in a panic. Did he hear her right?
"Shit!" he said as he threw on his pants and t-shirt. The pounding at the door got louder. Jax looked through the peep hole and took a breath and begin to open the door. Tara tried to stop him.
"Jax please don't."
"Tara go to the room" he demanded. As soon Jax open the door he felt a slap across his face.
"You asshole!" Gemma yelled at him. Jax held his cheek. His mom had a mean slap. He found his eyes searching for Jade.
"I sent her home. She did not need to see this. What were you thinking son?!" Jax had no words for her.
"You are a selfish prick! After all Jade and her family have done for us. I told her to stay away from you. She is way too good for you!"
"Mom…."
"Shut up!" she yield back to hit Jax again but he caught her this time.
"Mom stop!" Gemma pushed through the door to look for the tramp. Jax tried to grab her but she kicked back and her boot hit him square in the balls. Jax hit the floor.
Gemma open the room door to find Tara standing by the bed with a look of terror on her face. Gemma smiled an evil smile.
"Baby you fucked with the wrong one." Jax looked up to find the bedroom door slam shut and the start of glass shattering and Tara's screams.
Jade drove back to Jax house and after Unser left she picked up Abel and sat in the rocking chair and hugged him tight as he continue to sleep in her arms. Gemma had talked some sense in her and told her to go home. The way Jade had looked Gemma had a feeling someone was not coming out alive in that house and she needed to protect her son and her grandbabies. Jade rest her hand on her stomach and leaned over and kissed Abel. She loved her babies so much.
Jade fell asleep in the rocking chair and Jax still did not come home.
The next morning Neeta took Abel to the park as she knew Jade was upset just by looking at her.
Neeta loved the Tellers but they were a serious emotional drainer. With the break she had from Abel and calling into work Jade begin to pack her clothes. She had no idea what happen last night with Gemma, Jax and Tara as she did not hear anything on the news so she assume it was uneventful. She needed to take a little break from everything. She didn't want to take Abel from his father but he was not home when Neeta return so she packed a little bag for him to stay with her until she called Gemma to pick him up. Just then Gemma called her to tell her everything was taking care of.
"Gemma did he sleep with her?" knowing the answer before she even asked the question.
"Jade you know the answer to that. It would never happen again on my watch." Jade wanted to throw her cell across the room.
"Gemma this was my fight. I should have taken care of this."
"No baby let me take care of you. I got his. You take care of my grandson and my grandbaby you are carrying." Jade could not argue with her at the moment she was so tired. After getting off the phone Jade fed Abel and put him down for a nap while she continues packing. Shortly she heard the door open. Jade closed her eyes…Jesus she was not in the mood right now.
Jax stood for a few moments and watch Jade move around the room. He was beating himself up inside. The woman before him was one of a kind from the curly hair on top of her head all the way down her beautiful brown legs to her red painted toenails. Jade looked over at him and did not say award and continued packing.
Without saying a word Jax walked crossed the room and pulled her against the bedroom wall. He pushed her up against the wall and kissed her forcibly on her mouth.
"Jax no!"
Jade cried against his kissed. Jax lifted her up against the wall and wrapped her legs around him. "I'm sorry" he said between his tears as he kissed her neck. He pushed up against her more and she felt his throbbing sex. Jade instantly became moist with the thought of the familiar feeling of him deep inside of her. Her mind pulled away from the comfortable feeling she always felt with him and found her footing and with all her strength pushed him away. "NO!" she yelled at him. "I said no! If you want someone to fuck you go back to that bitch doctor you were with!" Jade found herself shaking as she looked at him. How could he do this to her? Did she not give him everything he needed and wanted?
"I love you Jade. Please don't do this." Jade could not believe her ears. Oh now he fuckin tells her! Jax took Jade's hand and put it to his fast beating heart. "I promise I won't hurt you again." Jade pulled her hand away in disgust. "Yes you will. As long as she is here you will find a way back to her." Jade pulled herself away from his tight embrace. Tears rolled down her face as she went to open a dresser draw to remove her underwear. What was she going to do? Jax followed behind her.
"You can't leave me. I told you I won't ever hurt you again. I will take care of my family."
Jade let out a small laugh and had to slap her hand over her mouth before she laughed louder. "What?!" Jax asked as he stepped closer to her.
"Nothing". Jade said quickly as she averted her eyes from him and continued to find her clothes to pack. Jax took her arm and pulled her around to face him. His eyes were dark, shades different from his ice blues eyes. It caught Jade's breath away at how serious he looked. She had seen him pissed before in his various dealing when it came to club business but never like this before.
"You are not taking my child" he said.
His voice was a low growl and even now when she was so angry with Jackson Teller she found herself weak in the knees and getting moister.
"You know Gemma would kill me if I took her grandson. I am however going to visit him as I please because I love him; I help raised him and almost died protecting him. Jax, no you will not take Abel from me."
Jade broke his grip and Jax walked behind her into their closet and watched as she began to pack more of her clothes.
As she was reaching for something on the top shelf Jax lifted her shirt and wrapped his arms around her stomach. He traced kisses down her neck. She went weak yet again…I mean how much longer could she be in a room with him and not give up no matter what he did to her. He would always have her in the palm of his hand. He however did not need to know that and she had to stay strong. She was not going to be treated the way he had treated her this week. He slept with an ex-girlfriend. A ghost Jade was trying to chase away in their relationship.
"Jax please." She whispered. Jax took a fist full of her coils and pulled on her hair to pull her around to face him and again his hand touched her stomach. "You are not taking my child away from me" he said again as he looked in her eyes and pressed slightly against her stomach. Instantly Jade knew. Gemma told him she was 10 weeks pregnant with their child. Jade looked away trying to compose herself and hoping he could not see right through her she lied to him.
"I don't know what you are talking about" She pushed his hand away from her stomach.
Jax grabbed her other hand. "Don't lie to me. Mom told me and she is always right when it comes to stuff like this." Jade pulled her hand away.
"She is not clairvoyant Jax and she is wrong. Jade could not believe the words coming out of her mouth. She was so furious with him she wanted to lie to him. She wanted to hurt him. Grabbing the rest of her stuff went to Abel's room to give him a kiss and walked out the door. Jax just stood there looking at her leave. He knew he would need to give her time and let her cool off before he approaches her again. He was not giving her up.
