I'm really sorry for the delay in uploads. I've been really busy with life stuff. Let me know what you think. Something I forgot to say at the beginning of my upload, I own nothing.

Tara was beginning to stir in her bed, which was getting drowned by the sunrays coming from the window. She slowly opened her eyes only slightly which caused her to raise her hand to her heard, 'Shit' was all she thought. And that's when she realised she was at home, she quickly sat up in bed and in doing so it caused her head to throb harder. Tara raised her hands to head in disbelief at how hungover she was. She didn't even remember getting home. She relaxed a bit when she noticed she was still in her cloths from the night before only thing missing was her boots. She got up from her bed very slowly and went to the bathroom and washed up. She came out, checked the time and it was still early so she just grabbed her robe and headed for the kitchen. There was a full pot of coffee on and a bottle of aspirin on the table. Tara looked around but there was no sign of anyone else in the house. She poured a small glass of water and knocked back a few aspirin. She then headed back to her room and got changed. And on her way back out she grabbed a cup of coffee. Just before pulling out of the drive she picked up her phone and sent a text to Donna 'What the hell happened last night? I don't remember a thing.'

Tara got to hospital early and got her paperwork in order. This was going to be a long shift. She went to get on Able and was chatting with the nurse when she noticed him standing at the window. When she looked to him he raised his hand and waved to her. Tara left the room to go speak with him. He watched her intently as he greeted her 'he's moving around a lot more'.

'All his vitals are up' she responds facing him with a slight smile, her slight smile. As Jax takes in the news he looks to his son and asks in a serious tone worry entering his mind 'Any permanent damage … cause of the drugs, brain or anything?' He watches her as she begins to turn and respond, he's taking in everything, there once was a time when he could see right through her. This was one of those times and he sure as hell didn't want to have to call her on it. 'Can't say for sure but everything so far points to a full recovery' she tells him meeting his gaze. It's the truth; he knows that from the way she meets his eyes. There's so much distance between them yet he still trusts her. 'How long is he going to be in that thing?' he questions as he nods to the incubator that is his sons current home. 'A couple of weeks but he'll be in the nicu for at least 2/3 months.' There she'd told him the facts and answered his questions it was now time to make a move but she couldn't. 'Hey look' Jax began as he turned away from the window and went to sit on the seat right by it, 'I'm sorry for last night it wasn't'. 'I really don't want to know' she tells him cutting him off before he can finish. Jax responds 'Right' smiling up at her. Tara's curious at his smile 'What?' 'Just figured you'd land a million miles from this place. You always hated it here' there it was he opened it up. 'I didn't hate Charming, Jax, just me in it at the time.' Jax soaking up her answer as memories flood his mind 'Yea'. 'Looks like Wendy's going to be okay' she tells him as she sits on the seat next to him. He looks to her again 'Define okay?' he questions with a smile. 'We're taking her through sedated detox. She'll be out for a couple of days.' Jax nods in response not knowing what to say. Tara notices the hesitation ' You two… are you together? There she'd asked the question. Jax slightly smiles, 'Na. I filled over a year ago. She got clean about ten months back. We tried to reconcile. Didn't work out too well' he tells her. Tara looks at him 'Well looks like one good thing came out of it.' Jax thinks about it 'Yea… I guess it did' he looks to her ' you should get going' he tells her as he puts his hand down on her thigh. Tara looks at him ' Yea I'm late for rounds'. Tara stands and takes a step away breaking away from his touch 'hey' he says to her. When she looks back to him he responds 'its good to have you back'. She nods and moves on.

'What the hell is that suppose to mean' she though to herself. Her mind was racing so much unsaid between them both. Well at least she could go home after rounds and sleep the rest of this hangover off before she had to come back later for a shift in the ER. She hears her cell beep. She pulls it out of her lab coat. 'I'll fill you in later. Fancy another one tonight?' Donna. Tara considered it for a couple of moments and managed to message her friend back before she heard her name being paged. 'Rain-check? Tomorrow night?' Tara placed her cell back in her lab coat as she rushed down the hall. Unbeknown to her Jax watched her every move and when he her name being called out he smiled. His smiled widened as he saw her rush down the hall of the hospital in her scrubs and lab coat. He shakes his head and nods to himself all the time smiling to himself. There was just something special about seeing her be who she wanted to be. He shrugged it off as he sat down by his boy and pulled out a storybook.

On her way home from her shift at the ER Tara thought it would be a good time to do her shopping. It'd be quite this time of the morning. As she headed in she looked to the road where she could hear the roar of Harleys coming down Main Street, she recognised one as Op. 'Looks like I'm only the only one to have had a late one' she though to herself. She got in and out as quick as she could. When she got in and put the shopping away she was too tried to think anymore and went to bed.

She woke late, and looked at the clock it was 5. 'Shit' she thought to herself. She'd slept through her alarm. As she got up from bed she heard her phone beep. She grabbed it from her nightstand and headed towards the kitchen and put the coffee on. She flipped her phone open there were a couple of messages from Donna checking that she was still on for tonight. Tara responded to her friend 'Yea. Meet here at about 7 and then head into town?' Tara questioned. It was only a moment before her phone was beeping again 'Sure. See you in a bit.' Tara continued on with her breakfast of sorts and started to get ready for a good catch up with her friend.

Donna showed up dead on time and luckily Tara had ordered the taxi just before for it wouldn't be long. 'You okay? You seem tried!' Tara questioned her friend as she entered the house. 'Let just say I need to get out for a while' came her friends response. This response concerned Tara as it wasn't like Donna to get all strung out that was her job. 'Taxi's on its way, should be here any minute' Tara told her. Just as she finished that sentence they both her a car horn, Donna looked to her friend and said with a smile 'Spooky'. They both shared a laugh on they're way to the car. There it was no more tension, it was gone for both of them.

When they both walked into the bar they both sighed a breath of relief. There was no club members or any members of any rival clubs around and that was most likely to do with the fact that it seemed to be the local hang out for law enforcement. They both looked to the pool table in the corner and agreed in silence. Donna headed towards the table while Tara went to the bar. As she came back to the pool table Donna had already racked the balls up ready to play. Tara sensing the frustration in her friend allowed her to break. Donna hit the balls hard, harder then what Tara could remember. 'Looks like you needed that' Tara said to her friend slightly smiling. Donna looked up and said 'Yea' and took her next shot but missed the pot this time. Tara took a swig of her drink before going to take her shot. Tara looked up at her friend who was drinking a large amount of her drink quite quickly. 'You wanna tell me about it, before you drink this place dry?' Donna looked at her friend and relented. Donna spilled her guts about the money problems her and Op were facing the run in with Gemma too. Tara shook her head realising how much her friend bottled up. Now was not the time or the place to bring up things with Jax or with 'hurry up will ya or I will drink this place dry at your expense' Donna said cutting into her thoughts. Tara missed her shot and handed the cue back to Donna. Tara filled Donna in on her conversations with both Wendy and Gemma, which helped de-stress them both. Now that they both had vented they're frustrations they could enjoy their evening of drinks and pool. As the night went on Tara's game improved while Donnas lessened. They both had noticed David Hale enter the bar with other colleagues of law enforcement. After Donna came back with more drinks Tara was beginning to drift back to the days she considered the good times 'Why is it that everything gets screwed up once you hit high school?' she questions Donna. Donna takes in what she's looking at and answers 'hormones. I miss those days too you know. I missed them a hell of a lot more while you were away though' Donna informs her friend. Tara looks to her friend smiling 'I missed you too. But you have to admit those days when we were all friends were the best. You remember what it was like before the patch right?' Tara questions her friend again. 'Yea but we found our way back didn't we?' Donna answers. 'Some of us did' Tara answers her as they begin to reminisce on the so-called good old days.
