A/N: At the end of the season Sutter said in comments "Gemma is like a cockroach that keeps rising from the ashes." Sure she is, when you want your wife to keep earning a pay check. Well in my AU, she's a gonner, and good riddance! Ptooey.

Important details: Chibs is now the Vice President and Happy is the Sergeant At Arms.

Hope you enjoy my little story! This marks the end to "The Letters." WhooHooo!

There is a youtube link and free mp3 download link, if interested, for the song #1 Crush on my profile page.

Next up: Family, Joint Ventures, Wendy, and baby Isabella Grace Teller!

New character created: Miss Isabella Grace Teller, Jax & Tara's little girl. You will find a link to a picture of the little cutie at age 1 in my profile.

This story will end with a time jump; Isabella at 21, Thomas at 23 and Abel at 25. The pictures of the Teller children as young adults are also included on my profile page. The boys have grown into mirror images of Jax. Isabella has grown into a beautiful young lady; although there is an obvious resemblance to her mother and Thomas, she is actually the reflection of her namesake (maternal grandmother).

I will burn for you
Feel pain for you
I will twist the knife and bleed my aching heart
And tear it apart

I will lie for you
Beg and steal for you
I will crawl on hands and knees until you see
You're just like me

Violate all The love that I'm missing
Throw away all the pain that I'm living
You will believe in me
And I can never be ignored

I would die for you
I would kill for you
I will steal for you
I'd do time for you
I would wait for you
I'd make room for you
I'd sail ships for you
To be close to you
To be a part of you
'Cause I believe in you
I believe in you
I would die for you.

- #1 Crush by Garbage -

Tara is watching Gemma lurking across the street. She was warned. The events that took place this evening moving through the next week were all previously set up. No one but she and her Grandfathers know exactly what events are about to unfold. Each person from now on will play their own part in the final play but no one knows the exact steps but the three of them. It is safer that way. Each actor will be lavishly rewarded for their role in the clean up, code named "the devil is in the details." The families are very, very powerful and for the sake of the Teller boys it is time for Tara to walk out center stage.

Over the next 24 hours Jax will know the truth about his father's death, Gemma will be dead, and Jax will know who Tara is and what that means for the future of their family. The boys will be picked up by a protection detail within the next half hour. Gemma won't even have a chance to tuck in Thomas; Ha!, the bitch is about to get hers. She had no idea who she was playing with.

Sheriff Eli Roosevelt just pulled the car to the side of the road, unhooked Tara's handcuffs, dialed a number on a prepaid and handed her the phone.

"Ally Lowen."

"Hello Ally, it's Tara, an informational warrant was issued for my arrest in connection with what was previously discussed. Sheriff Eli Roosevelt just picked me up and we are headed slowly towards the Charming Police Station. 'The devil is in the details.' We should arrive within the next half hour. Have your colleague meet me there, 'The devil is in the details.' The package must be hand delivered 'for eyes only' as discussed. First, call my Godfather and let him know, 'The devil is in the details.' I will call him as soon as possible." Codename mentioned three times, plan is now activated. Ally would call Chicago & Boston, speak directly to each Grandfather mentioning the codename only, they would then pull the trigger.

Listening.

"Acknowledged, confirm through representation once the message has been delivered and understood. Return the package to my Uncles when they arrive."

Call disconnect.

"Thank you Eli. You handled this perfectly, excellent timing. You saw it too, she arrived at the exact time and went into the house. Both me and my children are in danger. I understand Chief Unser has already explained and we will go into further detail once all have arrived at the station."

"Tara, Unser has already brought me up to speed on the details of all that took place since Clay Morrow issued the hit on your life a few months ago" said Sheriff Roosevelt. "I had no idea how deep all of this really went, nor did I realize Jax was never involved, until he helped me to bring Clay down."

"It's not your fault Eli, these people are ruthless and will stop at nothing for greed. We have all lost someone close to us because of Clay and Gemma. Again, we all were devastated about what happened to your wife. It's time for this to end, for this chapter to close." Tara said. "Let's finish our coffees, by the time we get to the station everyone should be waiting for us."

When Sheriff Roosevelt arrived at the station with Tara he set her up in an interview room. She sat for a few more minutes and her attorney arrived. He came into the interview room and just as he began to review the informational warrant he received a text message, "the US Marshall's arrived at the house to collect the boys." To avoid any conflict of interest Ally referred Tara to her husband, coincidently one of the best criminal attorneys in the US. He cut his teeth dealing with the federal authorities, and has a reputation for being both fearless and ruthless when defending clients. Handling this case would be a walk in the park for him. The agreement with the ex-Marshall, the murdered nurses brother, was that Tara help get him the information on Clay, Otto and Gemma and he helped her weed through the legalities cleanly. He also made sure to request a specific detail to get her boys out of the house and away from Jax and Gemma. They are currently in the dark about her part in this. Jax will find out a piece of the puzzle once he meets with Ally Lowen within the next half hour.

There is a knock on the door, "Dr. Knowles, I was just notified the protection detail arrived at your home. Your sons are being packed up to be moved. Should we bring them in here?" Tara responds with a smile, "Yes, please." She thinks, the evenings events are already going off without a hitch. Excellent! Mr. Lowen's phone vibrates, text read, "message delivered and understood!" Good, Jax has now read the copies of all the letters Tara gave Gemma along with copies of those she discarded and the additional letters Tara originally held back that went into explicit detail about Gemma's relationship with Clay and her role in JT"s murder. There were also additional secrets revealed in those letters about Gemma, Clay and Unser. A few details, Jax already knew which only helped lend truth to everything else said. Jax was told that Tara was fine and she would contact him as soon as possible. It was explained the children were taken into protective custody because of threats made on both Tara's life and by extension the children could be in danger. It was just general enough to easily move them away from him without arousing suspicion from him, Gemma, or the club until the morning when the other half of Tara's protection detail arrived. You see, the Marshall's that picked up the children were actually her 'extended' family. You've got to love this life.

There was another knock on the door, the boys had arrived! Ally had also arrived at the station, Mr. Lowen excused himself for a few moments. The Marshall's brought the boys into the interview room, they hugged Tara and whispered, "all was going along as planned. That she would be released to their protection shortly." They were going to be taken to a safe house in Stockton. They told her, "Jax was initially very upset, but once Ally showed him the file he only nodded and said he would wait to hear from either Tara or Ally Lowen."

Mr. Lowen came back into the room and stated "the information she provided about Clay and Gemma, including Gemma's prior knowledge of the murder weapon, specific information about Clay's activities of the day and their working collaboration over the last years squashed Gemma's statement regarding Tara's involvement. That Tara's prior, on the record, testimony still stood. All agreed Tara had no idea what Otto was going to do. Whereas both Gemma and Clay knew since they actually had Clay on video tape meeting Otto days before. Also Gemma had delivered to Sheriff Roosevelt the birth certificates and other official legal documents Clay had sworn were inside the safe. Those documents now also tied Gemma to the home invasions, attacks, and murder of Sheriff Roosevelt's wife." Basically, by trying to frame Tara, Gemma had inadvertently implicated herself. The ex-Marshall and Roosevelt told Gemma, "she should stay local and retain legal representation." Mr. Lowen told Tara, "you will be released shortly." Splendid!

Tara got the boys ready to leave. Just as Mr. Lowen said, she and the boys were walking out of the station with her protection detail within minutes. Once they reached the destination, she greeted Fionna Larkin-Telford, Kerianne and Maureen Ashby who had arrived just a few hours prior. Their plane was met and they were brought to the safe house. Tara thanked them for coming and asked that they remain vigilant for the next 24 hours, all would be revealed shortly. That she and Jax would need their help over the next week helping with the boys and the club. She expected to leave with Jax late the next evening to return in a week or so. Fionna and Chibs would be left in charge of the club initially, to be relieved by Maureen and Happy three to four days after. Then they would travel to meet them at the next destination. They all agreed, then Tara went into a private area and called Jax, she asked "meet me at the at the club house the following morning. We need to talk, then have a private meeting to present Gemma with the documentation. I want you to hear the truth from her own mouth." She asked him to "arrive early and invite Chibs and Happy." He agreed. She went on to tell him "the boys are with me and they are both fine." She said, "rest up, we have a big day tomorrow."

The following morning Tara woke and got ready. Her Uncles arrived along with a few cousins who would ride with her. Two of her Uncles along with the Marshalls and Fionna would follow the bikes to the club house. The boys were going to stay at the safe house with family protection, and Kerianne. Maureen and Tara rode Kawasaki Ninja's along with three of her cousins. Yes, no one knew she rode, another secret. She dressed in jeans, heeled riding boots, and leather jacket. Under her jacket she wore her custom dual holster that held her prized twin 9MM pistols with short silencers. When they rode up, Jax, Chibs and Happy heard the bikes and came to meet them outside. When Tara parked and swung her leg off the bike and removed the helmet Jax looked at her in shock. She said, "it's only the beginning." Fionna came out of the SUV and greeted Chibs who was also in shock, had no idea they were coming. Maureen greeted both Jax, Happy and then Chibs. Tara introduced Jax, Chibs and Happy to her Uncles, the family Marshall protection detail, as well as cousins from San Diego. She asked Jax, "is Gemma here?" He replied, "yes." She said, "good, let's go inside, we have much to discuss, then if you agree, a group of us are leaving for a week."

When they went inside her Uncles followed Jax, Chibs, Happy and herself into the Chapel. Fionna, Maureen, the Marshalls and cousins waited at the bar. Gemma was already inside when they walked in, her mouth dropped when she saw Tara and even more when she noticed both Fionna and Maureen. She was noticeably immediately uncomfortable. Jax asked that she hang out, that they would like to talk to her in a few minutes, it was regarding Tara's accessory to murder charges. Looks as if they did not have what they needed to make a case. She said, "ok", but looked very nervous. Tara's cousins were instructed to not let her out of the room and to hold her at gunpoint if necessary. She would be called within fifteen to twenty minutes.

Tara first opened the conversation by formally introducing her Uncles, their roles as Sr Advisors to her Grandfather Noland. She then began explaining briefly, as promised to her Grandfathers, her true family history. She had requested, also telling Chibs and Happy because they were now the presiding Vice President and Sergeant at Arms. They both needed to be aware of what was going on because they would all be traveling to meet with the families shortly. Chibs and Fionna would remain behind initially to run the club in their absence. Happy and Maureen would accompany them to Chicago then return. Chibs and Fionna would meet them in Boston. It was important that both Officers be privy to arrangements being made for disclosure and the women were traveling to step in as needed to cover Tara when she was called aside for private family discussions. They were all shocked, Jax didn't speak only looked at Tara quickly and quietly digesting what was being said. Tara explained, why until they got married, she was not allowed to say anything at all. That all would have remained quiet but for Clay's murderous attempts to retake the gavel and Gemma's continued actions against Tara and the threat of harm to the boys.

She then explained, Thomas' birthright to the families. How dangerous it is for this information to be disclosed outside of this room and how important it is to remain a secret for his own protection. There was only ever a fear of him being targeted as Jax's son, but he is actually also a heir to the Colombo Cosa Nostra and the Noland crime family. Tara asked Jax, "after knowing my history, the secrets that were kept and what must happen to prepare for the future, especially for Thomas, do you still want to remain married?" Once he answered, "Yes! of course", she nodded and said "there is now only one outstanding issue that must be cleaned up before we can leave leave to prepare for our trip." Tara went out to the bar and asked Gemma, "could you please join us?"

When they walked back inside Tara asked Gemma to take the elders' seat at the end of the table. With her Uncles standing in front of the doors, out of the way and just behind Tara she placed the folder with the letters in front of Gemma. She then asked , "please take a moment to review the contents." Gemma opened the file and began to leaf through the letters. She froze when she got to the copies of the originals she destroyed. Tara said, "yes, did you really think I would let you destroy the proof of the part you played in JT's murder? Keep going, you'll find there are more originals at the bottom." She went on, "also, while you are reviewing, I have a question? Did you really think the threat that you made against me yesterday would hold weight? When you punched me in the stomach thinking you would hurt my baby? Yes, you were right, I am pregnant but very early on. You punched me in my stomach...unfortunately for you to do damage to the baby you would have to have punch much lower. But then you're excused for your mistake, you're not a doctor after all, just an ignorant, weak, pathetic woman. Threatening to hurt my baby, that I would be raped in prison..such a shame that won't be your fate, I'm going to let you off easy." Tara looked at Jax, Chibs, and Happy then asked Gemma, "do you have any explanation for conspiring with Clay in the murder? Oh, my error, it was more so you putting out the hit yourself on JT, by suggesting and conspiring with Clay to kill him...mainly because you were angry about Maureen, then asking Unser to cover it up?" Tara stood just to her left in front of the Chapel doors so she could see Gemma's facial expressions.

Gemma remained silent at first, Tara guessed trying to think of an excuse. She really couldn't. Tara said, "sort of embarrassing now isn't it, since you are the one who actually spun the tale to Jax about the letters initially, leaves no room to back pedal. Guess you can now see, I am smarter than you, much smarter. I actually felt pity for you initially, that I cared how much it would hurt Jax to know you were the mastermind behind his father's death. But when you covered up Piney's death, along with knowing about Clay trying to kill me, still I didn't tell him. But when you almost killed my children, then tried to frame me for the murder of the nurse while trying to cover up your own actions along the way, well now I've come to the conclusion, enough is enough. It's now your turn to answer for JT, Piney and the damage you caused Abel, the families and this club. You could have killed my kids! Another thought comes to mind, but for his attack on you, you would have never come clean about the hit Clay ordered on me. Again, my children were with me that day as well, but for Jax, we could have all been killed. Remember, you didn't tell me until I had left the hospital and it was only so I would give you the letters; which you then gave to Jax to use as ammunition to kill Clay. Your selfishness has consistently been at the forefront, from the beginning it has only been what was good for Gemma, to hell with anyone else. Well, now the whole truth is on the table; it's over, you are finished." In a swift, fluid motion Tara reached back under her jacket, pulled her weapon and shot Gemma in the head. It was a clean shot, Gemma slumped sideways in the chair dying instantly. As Tara pulled her weapon, her Uncles did the same but were holding them down by their sides just in case. No one made even the slightest move to defend Gemma. Tara said, "well that's now over and done with. Sorry Jax, it had to be done."

Tara walked outside the Chapel, found her cousins seated at a table in the common area and said, "we are going to go outside, if you would not mind getting things cleaned up in there, I would appreciate it? Take her to Skeeter, he knows you are coming and will take care of it. Meet us back at the safe house later and we will leave for the airport." They nodded. The boys and myself walked out to the bar, all had a shot, then continued outside for a quick review; all but Chibs and Fionna left for the safe house. Kerianne would be driven to the club house as soon as they got back. Chibs was both surprised and delighted his girls were on this side of the Atlantic and anxious to see Kerianne.

Jax walked up to Tara as she was getting on her bike and asked, "did I hear correctly, you're pregnant?" Tara replied, "Yes! Not only did our combined family just grow exponentially, believe me you are going to be shocked off your ass, but we are also having another little one...I'm hoping it's a girl! I would love to name her after my Mother." Jax smiled and took Tara into his arms kissing her softly. He then said, "we've been through some real crazy shit lately, but I'm happy to be having another little one, Momma! I would also enjoy having a little Tara." Tara smiled at him and then remembered, "Oh, by the way, something else you will find out over the next week, I'm also multilingual. Abel also speaks as much Gaelic and Italian as English. For some reason he's not picking up French as quickly." Jax's chin hit the floor. Tara shrugged with an innocent face and said, "yeah, I know, Surprise! English is of course his primary, but he will respond in the language spoken to him, which is quite normal for a child. I'll demonstrate when we get to the safe house. Thomas will be the same. Isn't this fun? It's almost like a treasure hunt! Follow the SUV and we will fall in behind you and Happy. Love you and see you at the house, Daddy!"

Review: Please let me know your thoughts? Would appreciate the feedback; Thank you!
