--Five--

Roxanne was sitting there, with her head against the couch, looking up at the ceiling. Gemma sat down next to her.

"What's wrong, baby?"

"Tara starting shit."

"Like what?" Roxanne looked at her.

"Trying to tell Jax that Kaitlin isn't his."

"What?!?!

"Yeah… I don't know what was said, but I had a feeling she was saying some stupid shit like that to him."

"She's just jealous… you got there first and had his child."

"I don't know… but I am going to knock the bitch on her ass."

"Now, there's the Roxy I've missed."

Roxanne laughed and said "I'm going to go take a nap."

"Okay, go ahead." then Roxanne went into the room with Kaitlin and both of them took a nap.

Meanwhile, when Jax pulled into the shop, Juice was standing there with a smirk on his face.

"What?" asked Jax.

"So, what's up with you and Roxanne?"

"Why?" Jax asked as he got off of his bike.

"I know you two have a child together… but is she seeing anyone?"

"Don't even think about it, Juice." he said all serious.

Juice laughed and said "Alright… Clay is starting the meeting as soon as you walk inside." Jax nodded and followed Juice in the room.

Jax sat down in his seat. Clay saw the look on his face, and said "What is it?"

"Her ex called, saying that he was taking Kaitlin and Rox, and that he will see her soon."

"What's his name?" asked Clay.

"Anthony Jones."

"Okay, Juice." Clay started. "Look up everything you can on him."

"Got it Clay." Juice said opening a laptop.

"We need to keep them safe." said Clay.

"I'm going to see if Rox and Kaitlin will stay with me, at my place." Jax said lighting up a cigarette.

"Okay." Clay nodded. "Then for the time being, either at my place or at Jax's place… Tig, Bobby, Juice, and Chibs will alternate watching them. Roxy and my granddaughter goes nowhere by themselves."

The guys shook their heads in agreement, while Clay slammed down the gavel. The guys talked more business for another hour, then a little while later, Jax went into the shop and started working on his motorcycle.

As he looked up, he saw Tara getting out of her car, and he groaned. He put his stuff down as, she walked up to him.

"What do you want, Tara?"

"You finally peeled yourself away from Miss Perfect?"

Jax just glared at her and said "If you came to talk shit, then you can just leave. I don't have time for this."

"Can you come over tonight?"

"No."

"Why? Because you are going to be with her? Aren't you?"

"Tara… let it go."

"What? She comes into town, telling you that you have a daughter and you believe her? She doesn't even look like you."

"Then you are blind. She is my daughter, Tara."

"Why? Because she said so? How do you know she's just saying this stuff to hang onto you?"

"How do I know, you are saying this shit to make me think different, making up all this shit, so you can hang onto me?"

"Jax, that's not fair… she's lying."

"Tara, like I said… I don't have time for this." he started to walk away from her.

"Did she tell you about a guy named, Ben?"

Jax stopped walking, turned around, and said "What?"

Tara walked up to him and said "She never told you about him, did she?"

"What the hell are you talking about?" he asked.

"When she told you she was going to her parent's grave, she went to see a guy named Ben, instead. She was lying to you all the time about it."

Jax was pissed. He glared at her, got on his bike, then rode over to Gemma's house. When he got there, he walked inside, looking around for Roxanne.

Roxanne saw him walk in the guest room and said "Hey."

"Where's Kaitlin?" he asked.

"At the store with Gemma." she was trying to read Jax's face, she could tell he was mad about something.

"Who is Ben?"

Roxanne winced at him and said "What?"

"Instead of going to your parents grave… did you go see Ben?"

"What the hell are you talking about, Jax?" Roxanne was completely confused.

"Who is he, Rox?!?" he yelled.

"I know you better stop yelling at me." she said getting in his face. "Who the hell is telling you this? You know what? I already know and there you go… listening to that bullshit, again."

"You didn't answer my question… who is Ben?"

"Jax, I didn't know a Ben… I only knew of a Ben. You wanna know why? Because, Tara use to date him. I never met the guy in my life." Roxanne cupped Jax's face and looked him in the eyes. "As long as we've known each other, have I ever lied to you about anything?" he looked away, she brought his face back, so he could look at her. "I have never lied to you… I have way too much respect for you, to lie to you about anything." she let go of his face.

"Rox…" he started.

"I can't believe you… every time she says anything to you that isn't true, you believe her. She is feeding you a bunch of lies and trying to manipulate you. Why can't you see that?"

"Rox..." he said again.

"And Jax, when I went to my parents grave... I really did, there is no lie about that. You know how much I loved my parents."

He grabbed her hand, but she ripped it out of his grasp. "I'm sorry." he said grabbing her again. This time she let him hold her hand. "I believe you, Rox. I don't know why I let her get to me."

"It's ridiculous. I haven't even been here that long and she's already starting shit with me? What, are we back in fuckin' high school?"

Jax pulled Roxanne into his arms, giving her a hug. Then he pulled back from her and kissed her on her lips. After five minutes of making out, Jax rested his forehead on hers, both trying to catch their breath.

"I'm sorry, Rox."

"It's fine."

"No, it's not… Can you do me a favor?"

"What?" she asked.

"You and Kaitlin move in with me at my house."

"Really?"

"Yeah… there's enough room for all four of us."

Roxanne nodded and said "Okay… we will."

"Okay… we'll go buy new things for Kaitlin, you, and you can help me fix up Abel's room."

"Okay, that would be cool."

He gave her a hug, then said "I am so sorry, Rox."

"Jax, it's okay… I forgive you, but I am not going to be too forgiving to her."

Jax nodded then kissed Roxanne again, kissing their way onto the bed. She stopped, then looked him in his eyes.

"What?" he asked, wondering why she stopped kissing him.

"I missed you… so much."

He smiled and said "I missed you too, more than you know."

As they started to kiss again, they heard the front door shut, followed by giggling from Kaitlin. Jax sighed, then went into the front room being greeted by Kaitlin running in his arms.

"Daddy!"

He picked her up and said "Hey… where's grandma?"

"Getting the bags from the car."

"Okay, I'm going to go help her." he said putting her down.

As he walked outside, Roxanne came into the front room and said "Hey, baby girl."

"Hey, Mommy." Kaitlin said giving her a hug.

A few minutes later, Jax and Gemma came back in the house with the groceries, putting them into the kitchen.

"Jax, how bout you and Kaitlin go to the shop to tell the guys when dinner will be."

Jax nodded and said "Okay… what time?"

"Six."

"Okay." he looked over at Kaitlin. "Do you want to come with me on my motorcycle?"

"Yeah!" she looked up at Roxanne. "Can I Mommy?"

"Yes… just be careful."

"I will." Kaitlin said jumping into Jax's arms.

"We'll be back, in a little bit." said Jax.

Roxanne gave Kaitlin a kiss on her forehead and Jax a kiss on his lips. "Be careful with her."

"I will, Rox." he started walking out the door.

"Bye, Mommy… Bye Grandma!" she yelled.

"Bye!" Both Roxanne and Gemma said at the same time.

Jax carefully put Kaitlin on the motorcycle, gave her a helmet, put on his, then rode off to the shop.
