Chapter 4- TWO WEEKS LATER
"Tara wake up! Gemma's on the phone yelling at me to wake your lazy ass up" Lyla roars, as a comatose Tara shoots up into a sitting position. "WHa- What.. Oh give me the damn phone" she snaps, and snatches the phone out of the amused looking blonde girl's hands.
"Hello?!"
"Hey honey. How you doing?"
"Gemma, not that I have a problem with you not hating me now and all, but why the fuck are you calling me and yelling at Lyla?!"
"Oh shut the fuck up, you are fine, oh and I am fine over here, thanks for fucking asking. But, anyway I needed to call and you needed to hear the news"
"What news?! Are the guys all alright?!
"The guys are fine, hold on I have to put you on to someone" Gemma said happily, and Tar begins to fidget nervously as all the terrible scenarios run through her mind. Then the familiar voice comes through the phone. "Tara?!" Jax asks, and Tara almost hangs up. Almost. "Yes Jax, your mother told me there is something you wanted to tell me?" she asks, silently thanking whatever was up there that Jax wasn't dead. "We got him. He's back. I'm coming home. We're coming home" he corrects himself happily, and tears begin to fall down Tara's face, as she breaks out into a grin. "Oh my... Thank fuck I was so worr-" she cuts herself off, and pauses. "I'm happy you found your son Jackson. Truly, I'm very happy for you" she continues in a detached voice.
Jax frowns as he hears her and looks down at the baby in his arms. "He misses his mom" he tells her, and he hears her sharp intake of breath. "But I'm not his mom remember? I'm just his former doctor really" she says bluntly, and Jax's heart rips into shreds as he hears her say those words. "Tara" he pleads, silently begging she would tell hhim to bring their son home to her. "I really am happy for you Jax. I hope I'll see A-Abe-Abel when you come back" she hints, and he can hear the tears in her voice. "I want.. Tara please don't" he tries to get the words out. "Goodbye Jax. Give that little boy a hug from me" she cries, and hangs up, leaving Jax standing in his room in Belfast with a half packed suitcase, a baby who was squirming around in his arms and a broken heart.
"Listen here little man" Jax starts talking to Abel as he sits down on the edge of his bed. "I royally fucked up with your mommy. Probably shouldn't curse around you, sorry. But I did. And we have to get her back, because Daddy is a big idiot who hurt mommy really bad, and made her very sad" as Jax continues talking to the baby he feels the guilt and remorse wash over him "Daddy slept with another lady, to make mommy want to go away. And he did a way more stupid thing. He told mommy she wasn't our family, when we both know she is the centre of it, right kiddo?" Jax stops to examine Abel's features, and finds him staring at him intently.
"So we have to get Mommy to come back, because before you were born, mommy went away for a long time. And daddy was so sad, and so was mommy. So we can't let that happen again son, because you'll be sad to. Right kid?" Jax finishes, and Abel stares at him still, as if trying to communicate. "I'll take that as a yes. Because we need to get your mom to forgive me now Abel and I'll need you to help" he tells the kid, and hugs him tightly to his body. "I missed you so much kid, as so did mommy" he whispers, and continues packing with one hand.
Tara begins to shake as she hangs up the phone, and Lyla is at her side instantly. Tears slide rapidly down her cheeks, and she tells Lyla the contents of the phone call. "So They found Abel and they are all coming back? That's good at least! But what about the baby. I mean, everyone's kind of guessing, especially with those tank tops you were. Are you going to tell Jax you're pregnant... Or holy shit, are you like even going to let him in the kid's life?" Lyla quizzes her, and her frown deepens. "Of course I'm going to let him be part of the baby's life. I may not be part of his family, but this baby is mine, and he cannot take that away from me. I may not have a biological claim to Abel, and I thought he cared about me more than he did, but I'll be damned if he tried to discredit my connection to this child. So he can be part of the baby's life, he can see our kid anytime he wants, but he can't tell me I am not the baby's family" she says in a final tone.
"If he does I'll bust a cap in his ass" Lyla promises, causing her crying friend to giggle. The phone's shrill ring makes both girls jump. Tara picks it up. "Hello?" she asks, shrugging at Lyla who's mouthing who is it.
"YOU'RE FUCKING PREGNANT AND I HAVE TO HEAR IT FROM THE MOTHERFUCKING OWNER OF THE GROCERY STORE?!" Gemma's angry voice roars through the voice, causing both girls to wince.
"Well I was planning on telling you when you got back" Tara offers weakly, and Gemma scoffs.
"You should have told me first. I had to find out when Betty called and tells me she's happy to hear the good news of me being a grandma again. I almost collapsed out of shock!" she tells Tara, who's staring at her hands.
"I'm sorry. I truly was going to tell you the minute you landed, I swear"
"You are so fucking lucky I believe you. DOES JAX KNOW BECAUSE IF HE FUCKING DOES I'LL MURDER HIM" Gemma asks indignantly.
"No, no he doesn't. And I would appreciate you not telling him" Tara begs, and Gemma smirks.
"I won't... IF you come to clubhouse tonight for Abel's homecoming party. Come on, go with Lyla and you can stay with her all night I swear" Gemma coaxes her, and Tara heaves a heavy sigh.
"Fine. I'll be there. But I swear one word about Jax, and I am walking straight out of there" she warns before hanging up. She turns to Lyla. "So we are going to a party tonight" she tells her, and Lyla's eyes light up.
Later that night, the girls are ready and on their way to the club. Gemma had called and told them to be dressed up, and Lyla had taken that and ran with it. She wore a mid-thigh light blue tight dress, that hugged her curves and made her seem elegant and sexy all at once. Tara had been forced into a black and white number, the white corset like top with black swirls, and tutu like material flowing to well above her knee, really hid her bump well. "When I said party, I didn't mean for to Barbie me up" Tara sighed, and Lyla glared at her. "Gemma said dressed up. We. Dressed. Up" she says lowly and Tara raises her hands in surrender.
As the car pulls up, and the scene registers in Tara's mind, the butterflies begin in her stomach at the thought of seeing Jax. She sees a lone motorbike, and recognises it as the Dyna Wide glide, a Harley of course. She rubs her belly nervously as she steps out of the car. Lyla links their arms, and they walk into the clubhouse. The music is playing, the alcohol is flowing and the crow-eaters are stalking their prey. Nothing new there then. Tara and Lyla stand near the door as they look for Gemma in the crowd. "Ah Doc, you made it! And Lyla, too! Looking good ladies, if you weren't already claimed I'd ask you to be my own old ladies" Tig chuckles, and Lyla smacks his arm as Gemma appears. "We are both actually free agents, for your information!" Lyla tells him dryly, and Gemma's eyes narrow. "Not one of the two of you are free agents" Tig tells them, and walks chuckling. "FREE AGENTS?!" Gemma yells, and Lyla shrugs. "It's technically the truth" Tara points out. Gemma sighs heavily, and mutters something about goddamn hormonal kids.
"Give me a hug, before your stomach explodes into a humungous bump and it's awkward" Gemma chuckles and Tara hugs her tightly. "In a way, I missed you the most" Tara tells her, and Gemma smirks. "That's bullshit and we both know it" she laughs, and takes a sip of her drink. "You are not to so much as look at a drink for the next nine months. I already had one grandbaby almost poisoned, not letting it happen to this one too" Gemma warns her, and Tara nods. "I wouldn't do it. You know that already" Tara tells her, and Gemma nods. "I know baby" she smiles, and then it happens. "Tara?! You made it!" Jax's voice cuts through the air, and she sucks in a strangled breath, and turns around slowly and stiffly, her hand protectively laying on her stomach, as she took in Jax standing in front of her, holding Abel proudly. Gemma places a hand on her shoulder and nods. "Tell him" she whispers into Tara's ear. "Tell me what?" Jax asks, as Abel begins to fuss in his arms.
