Jax and Tara spent the next few hours in bed together waiting for Eli to get there with Patterson. Jax stressed to Eli how important it was for them to get there as soo as possible because Gemma would start getting suspicious that he has been gone for so long. It's only been 2 days but to his mother that's too long.
Jax started to get anxious waiting for them to get there. Finally there was a knock on the door, when he checked through the peep hole he saw Eli, Patterson and Tara's lawyer waiting outside. Tara knew this nightmare was almost over, but it was just going to get harder the closer they got to the trial.
Jax welcomed them into the room.
"Good to see you Mr. Teller, Eli told me he brought you up to speed with all the details from that horrible day? Patterson said to Jax.
"Yes he did, and im ready to move forward however you want. I just want Tara and my boys safe, that's all that matters to me."
"What about your mother?" Patterson questioned Jax.
"What mother?" he snarked back at her.
Clearly everyone in the room could see where Jackson stood on the situation and clearly there was no way to forgive his mother and look past what she did this time.
"okay Mr. Teller, Ms. Knowles, we have all the paperwork ready to go, just needs both of your signatures."
"What do you need mine for?" Jax wondered.
"For the adoption papers and the restaining order? Didnt Tara tell you?"
Jax looked over at Tara a little bit confused.
"I meant to discuss it with you babe before they came but then you had that wonderful surprise for me, i hope you're not angry. I just wanted to officially adopt Abel so i can legally be his mother, and the restaining order was just incase your mother got out i dont want her anywhere near me or our family. I know i should have discussed this thing with Abel with you more..."
Before Tara could even finish her sentence, Jax grabbed her hand and interupted her.
"Of course im not angry babe, i love you, Abel is your son, and he has been since the day we brought him home from the hospital. He will never
call another women mommy. He loves you, and so do i" Jax kissed Tara reasuring her about her decision.
"And about that restraining order, i want one for myself too. I dont want that bitch anywhere near me or my family, EVER" Jax said to Taras lawyer.
"thats no problem Mr. Teller, i will have that paper work all drawn up for you by tomorrow if thats ok?"
"Sounds good! So whats the next step, how do we bury my mother?"
"Well we have all the documentation of her threats to Ms. Knowles, notes about the conversations between Margaret Murphy, LT. Roosevelt, Opie and Tara, all of their statements, and the DNA from the crime scene to prove it was Gemma. Also the notes on Juice being an accessory to the murder. If you want to read it all over to make sure we didnt forget anything, you let us know." Patterson said as she handed Tara all the paperwork to sign.
"Sounds great. Now once everything is signed, what do we do?" Tara wondered.
"Well it will take a few more days to process everything and once that's done, we can move forward on arresting Gemma and Juice."
"How much longer do i need to hide out? I miss my boys? I miss my
home!" Tara said as she started to become emotional again thinking about how hard the past month has been for her.
"Not long, we know how hard it's been for you being away from Jax and your boys. I know how important this is for all of you, we just have to do it right" Patterson told Tara. "i will personally deliver the paperwork to the FBI and the judge, once they give me the okay, we will move in on Gemma, maybe 2 more days, can you hold out?"
"Do i really have any other choice? I do have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, if its okay with you, Margaret said she can sneak me in through the back, i missed my check up due to these circumstances but i want to make sure the baby is doing alright, especially after the miscarriage i had in jail." Tara explained.
"I can take her there; i promise she will be safe, besides i want to make sure my baby is safe too. All this stress can't be good for the baby" Jax pleaded with the DA.
"Well once all the paperwork is delivered tonight, the case will be persued and Tara is basically a free woman. If she wants to go home tomorrow after the doctor i can see if that can be arranged, BUT she can't leave the house until we have Gemma in custody, you understand our concern for her safety Mr. Teller im sure."
"Of course, i won't leave her side."
"Okay sounds good, we need both of your signatures on these papers and were all finished here. If you decide to go home tomorrow after the doctor, please wait for my call, we want to make sure Gemma is no where near your house. Ill have Eli come by before you get there and do a sweep."
"Okay thank you Ms. Patterson, i really appreciate what you did for my wife and keeping her safe."
"Well im glad my suspicions about you were right. When push came to shove you did the right thing for your
family and gave yourself up to save them, i respect that Mr. Teller , i didnt want to see Ms. Knowles get hurt after what you did for her."
"well i appreciate that, ill be waiting for your call tomorrow"
okay, oh and Mr. Teller, congratulations on the baby, i heard it might be a girl"
Jax smiled thinking about the beautiful baby girl growing inside his wife "thank you, enjoy your night, Taras appointment is at 11, i hope everything is ready by the time were done."
"Have a goodnight you two" Patterson and Eli left, along with the lawyer with all the signed paperwork ready to go to arrest Gemma and Juice.
