Tara's POV
It has been about a week since Tara has returned home to Jax and her boys.
Jax has been the perfect husband. Making breakfast for me and the boys, and making sure they were dressed and ready for daycare. He also helped me give them a bath everynight and helped me tuck them in. This used to be something that Jax was rarely around to do, and usually only did it because I was stuck at the hospital. Since ive been home, it's been an everyday occurance, and it was great. He was becoming the Jax I fell in love with 16 years ago. The sweet, romantic, would go above and beyond to see me happy and didn't let the club get in the way of that. Maybe this time he meants what he said about getting out this time? I can't get my hopes up, I need to think positive and pray that Jax is the man I know he can be.
Over at the clubhouse
JAX POV
Tara has been home for about a week and it's been amazing. Waking up to her beautiful face and going to bed with her everynight is literally a dream come true. I prayed for this everynight she was gone, and god has answered my prayers, he brought her back to me. I can't fuck it up this time. I won't fuck it up this time. I need to be the man she fell in love with. I need to be a good husband and father to my boys, and my little growing princess.
I woke up early again, got the boys ready for daycare, made breakfast and spent some time with Tara. I told her I had to head over to the clubhouse to get some things in order. I can tell she was a bit hesitant for me to go, but I kept trying to get it into her head that we were getting out. She also didn't know that I spoke to Margaret and she was trying everyhting she could to find Tara a job far away from Charming.
She had been continuing her phsycial therapy for her hand and everyday it was getting stronger and stronger. My only worry was that a hospital is not going to want a surgeon with a recovering hand, who will start to work and soon take a maternity leave. There were many factors working against Tara, but the fact that she was an amazing doctor and surgeon was still on her side.
I pulled up to TM a few minutes later. The construction was finally coming along on the clubhouse, and TM was back up and running. It felt like home again. It felt like the stink of Clay Morrow was finally gone, and I can get the club back to the way my father wanted it. With Opie on my side, I knew it would be easier to talk to the guys about getting my family out.
Bobby get everyone together, Church in 10 minutes.
As the members sat around the table, it was very quiet. They havent called church since Tara had returned, and shit has hit the fan since then with Gemma. The club knew Jax was trying to get his family back and take care of Tara, so they didn't bust his balls when he missed church all week for minor things.
Thank you all for being here so early today, I know I havent been around much since Taras been home, but I appreciate you all looking after my family.
So theres a few things we need to discuss, and I know your all thinking it. Gemma.
I spoke to Patterson, as well as Eli and Lowen, and her case is coming up very soon. Her bail was denyied, so shes rotting away over in Stockton as she waits for her court date. I can't say im upset about that.
All the men shook theire head agreeing. Gemma was poison for the club, and poison for Jax. Keeping her far away from everyone was the best thing to do.
So what are they actually charging her with Jax? Happy asked, trying to make sure they fried her.
Lowen said a lot of the stuff is hear say that was discussed with Eli before, so they cant use any of it. But they are going to charge her with attempted murder. There shouldn't be a reason that she doesn't get 10-15 years easily Lowen said, especially that she has had a violent past, and it included Tara as well.
I don't mean to bring this shit up brother, but the arrest for the miscarriage, does that count as history since well, Tara lied. Bobby knew this was a hard subject for Jax, and didn't want to bring up the shit that Tara did to him.
Jax took a deep breathe, trying to forget yet another horrible day that involved his wife.
"Well Lowen said theres no proof that Tara really wasn't pregnant, so they are going to try, but her attack on Margaret Murphy can be used, and Margaret said she has no problem testifying in court if it can help Tara." Jax said.
"Ayy that's great brother. Gemma will get whats coming to her. Trust me." Chibbs said.
So were just waiting for her court date next week. Im just worried about Tara testifying in court, the anxiety and stress can't be good for the baby.
"Shes a strong ass chick Jax, she will be fine doing worry." Opie said grabbing Jax shoulder trying to reassure him how strong Tara really was.
"I know, I just am so afraid something awful is going to happen to her, and I can't deal with that pain again. You all know I went to a very dark place, and for a bit I was thinking of ending it all. I felt that If I couldn't live with Tara, I mines well be with her somewhere else. But my boys kept me going, I knew that she would want me to keep them safe. As much as I didn't want to live without her, I knew I had to for my boys." Tears started to fill his eyes, thinking about how hard life without Tara really was.
Anyways, on a happier note, Tara and the baby are doing well, we have another doctors appointment next week.
Ayy Jackie, a girl is going to drive you crazy. I cant wait to watch her wrap you around her finger. Chibbs said and laughed because they all knew it was true.
Jax knew deep down that this wasn't going to happen. He would be gone before she was even born, and hed be leaving his club behind to be with his wife and children.
Well now that you bring it up Chibbs, theres something I need to discuss with you guys. Jax looked at Opie, knowing that he had his back because he was planning to come with him.
As you all know, were really trying to get the club back into legit stuff. Diosa is doing great, and Redwoody is starting to make us money. Were really trying to get back to the reason we started this club, brotherhood. You all know how much I love you guys, but after what happened to my family, I need to do whats best for them. I cant keep hurting them because of my mistakes.
The men looked around the room, knowing where this conversation is going.
I love you all so much, but I love Tara more. I almost lost her too many times, physically and emotionally. I cant do that to myself or her again. Were having a new baby, and you all know how hard she has tried to get my boys safe from all the shit were involved in. Well I promised her, after I tied up some loose ends, im taking her and the boys, and were leaving Charming for good. Im sorry brothers, but my family needs me more.
It was quiet. All the men were trying to wrap their head around the fact that there President was leaving.
Ayy so does that mean Opie going to be our new President?
Jax looked over to Opie.
Actually brothers, im leaving too….

Enjoy xoxo
