I heard a knock so I got my gun out and went to the door; I saw one of the new prospects standing there.
"Can I help you?"
"Yeah, Jax wanted to make sure you got your car back quickly, so here it is."
"Oh, well thank you. Did it get them all there then?"
"Yes, well except Tig. He led the cops away in the Tow truck and got arrested for it. Well, have a good night."
I called the station and found out I could bail out Tig in the morning so I went to bed and tried to sleep. I got up bright and early and went to a bondsman and put up my dad's house then went to the station to get Tig. I had to wait for about half an hour before Tig came out thanking me. I felt a little weird about his arm on me but the next time he did it I was relaxed, it just felt nice to be appreciated and protected.
"Tig, I called the garage and someone is on the way to get the truck. I am going to head there; they are having trouble with the paperwork without Gemma."
"Thanks, Doc. I appreciate all of this and you sticking with us. I am glad you came back, Tara."
I was looking for a couple bills that the guys lost and went to go check the clubhouse when Lyla called out to me. I went back to the office, stunned that Lyla and I were in the same boat. I had to get to work so I told the guys I would be back later and took off. I had a day full of surgeries and then I had about 3 hours before I had to take Lyla to the clinic so I changed into my old jeans and a t-shirt, grabbed a change of clothes and took off.
I spent the next couple hours trying to organize the office as Teller-Morrow. I had to stop when I came across a picture of me and Jax sitting on his bike when we were teenagers, I drifted back to that day in my head.
We rode around most of the day not going anywhere in particular but then ended up at the clubhouse. We got off and went in together holding hands and were instantly engulfed by members. We all sat around laughing and joking. Jax and I ended up playing a game of pool and I was losing so on his next shot, I went up behind him and wrapped myself around him rubbing his thigh.
"Hey, that's not fair babe."
"All's fair in love and pool."
He smirked but missed the shot. When I went for my next shot, he came up behind me and whispered in my ear.
"Don't mess up."
We went on like this until we finally finished the game and then he wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Let's get out of here, I think we both need to fulfill some unspoken promises."
"I don't know what you're talking about Jax." I tried not to smile but that only lasted for a minute because then he let go of me and bent down, grabbed behind my knees and threw me over his shoulder and carried me out to his bike. I was laughing so hard as I climbed on the back of the bike I barely heard Gemma tell us to smile. We took off and ended up at his house and we followed thru on every promise we could.
"Tara!" Lyla was calling to me.
"Sorry Lyla, I was in another time. What did you need?" I asked as I tossed the picture back down.
"I thought I would see if you need some help before we go. What's that?"
"Oh, just a picture of Jax and I as teens I found on the desk."
"Wow, look at you two. You seem so happy. OH I'm so sorry; I didn't mean that likeā¦"
I interrupted her "No you're fine. You're right; we were much happier then. We didn't have so much between us, I hadn't even told him I wanted to be a Doctor yet, didn't leave, and we didn't have a ten year gap, ex-wife, or so much pain between us. We were two kids in love and we thought nothing would ever come between us."
I went back to the office, Lyla and I ended up finishing the office and I went to change and I took her to the clinic. I was glad after we talked and I knew she had put a lot of thought into her decision but she got me thinking. If I had this baby I would be alone, Jax would probably be in jail and after pushing me away would he really want me to have his baby? Hell we couldn't even protect Abel; how can I even think about bringing another child into this lifestyle no matter how bad I want to have Jax's baby? Without even really thinking about the consequences, I made an appointment for the next night.
When Lyla came out, I gave her a hug and took her to the car. She didn't want to talk so we had a silent ride back to the house. When I stopped at the house, I turned to her.
"Lyla, are you sure you're ok? I can stay and help with the kids or just be there if you need me."
"Tara, I don't want to impose on you anymore than I already have."
"You're not, it's not like I even have anyone at home."
"Ok, then I would love to have you stay."
I woke up the next morning and checked on Lyla. Once I was sure she was ok, I headed home to change for her shift at work. I made it through part of the day before talking to Margret. I can't believe I just agreed to let her take me. As my appointment got closer and closer, the more doubts I began to have. I found Margret and we took off. We got to the turn just outside of town when we were rear ended.
I knew then I didn't want the abortion because my first thought was thank goodness that wasn't any harder and didn't hurt the baby. When the girl asked who I was, I was getting very nervous and I guess I had good reason because the next second I had a gun pointed at me. If I had any doubts about trying to survive for my baby they were gone because all I wanted was to live.
We rode in the car for about a 45 minutes before they dragged us into a house and up into an attic. Margret was crying the whole time and I was very proud of myself for keeping it together wouldn't Jax be proud but that thinking only made this all worse. I sat down and let myself get tied up for the second time in the past couple months and then the duct tape went on and I had to shake myself to keep myself from going back to when Abel was taken.
We stayed like that until morning when the man and woman came back and took the tape off and gave us some water. I heard him talk to someone and give them his name Hector Salazar and the unrealistic demands. I am going to die; there is no way the club could kill the Mayan president and start a war, hell there are only a few members even in town.
Listening to Margret cry and talk about her family breaks my heart. She is only in this mess because I let her take me and because of my connections. I have to try and get her to her family and fix this. The next time they come in, I get my chance and I take down Louisa and try to get the gun but when Salazar connects with my chest I do the only thing I can think of.
"Don't! I'm pregnant!"
The phone ringing broke up anything else that could happen and when I actually got to talk to Tig, I almost cried. When he called me sweetie & told me they would bring me home; I actually did let a small tear fall. When the phone call was done, I let myself get tied up again and sat there listening to them talk.
"Louisa, we can get a bigger payday, we have his old lady and unborn kid."
"Hector, this was a great idea. Once we get that money, we will demand more before we release her."
Shit, this is going get bad. I started looking around trying to find a way out and couldn't find anything. I kept going over plans in my head. The next day when Louisa took me to the bathroom I had pretty much given up on getting myself out and that is when I noticed the crack in the mirror. I found a towel and got to work, once I got my piece and wrapped it in a towel I hid in the shower.
When she kicks in the door I jumped and sliced wildly but ended up slicing into her throat and was able to throw her into the tub with ease. I hesitated because I wanted to help her but knew I only had a small window; so I grabbed the gun and ran to get Margret out. We were heading down the stairs when Salazar got home. I took him to Louisa and we were standing in the bathroom guns pointed at each other. I felt Margret clinging to my back and knew I just had to get her out, so I made a deal with Salazar that I didn't think I would be able to hold up.
The three of us struggled to get Louisa into the car and then I climbed in with her and we took off, I looked out the back glass and saw Margret running in the other direction, thank you god. I went back to trying to save this girl. We had stopped for a while but I couldn't stop the bleeding and without extra blood to give her, she bled out. I sat there for a while before I finally gave up on a new plan and went to tell Salazar.
When I felt his weight lift off me and he tied me up I couldn't decide if I should relax some or be more afraid. When I saw a car coming, I started to get excited until I saw the woman stop and Salazar walk up to her with a tire iron in his hand. I tried to warn her but I was too late, he had grabbed her and hit her in the head. Within five minutes, he had moved Louisa and the other girl's bodies under a blanket by the road to be found, the car moved and he loaded me into the new car's trunk. I was crying most of the trip; I just keep getting people hurt. Jax thinks he is the danger to our relationship but I think I'm not worth the hassle.
Jax's Point of View
When Mom slapped me and asked what I would tell my other son I was dumbfounded.
I kept running over her words "Tara's pregnant, she two months along."
As we rode to the hotel I kept going back and forth between; is it fair to bring another baby into this world? And Tara is having my baby, this is amazing. I couldn't believe I had to learn it from my mom; but as a tool to snap me from my slumber over a better life for Abel, it was very effective. There is no way I have a shot at winning back Tara, and being a part of my new child's life, if I don't bring Abel back to her. So off I go to hurt two people who want nothing more to love my son and to kill Jimmy.
I was walking to the van to head back to the states with Abel. I was glad that Mom had told me about Tara being pregnant; it explained a lot of the past month. I can't wait to get back to her. I know I have a lot of begging to do but I will do it because my kids need her, and I need her. We were all saying goodbye when Bobby came up to me.
"You're gonna want to hear this."
"Yeah?"
"Hey Jax, I'm glad you found Abel."
"Thanks Tig, what's going on?"
"I'm afraid we have some bad news brother and it's about Tara."
My heart starts beating faster "What's wrong with Tara? Did something happen to the baby?"
By now everyone was crowded around me and Mom had taken Abel and looked scared to death.
"What baby, Jax?"
"Tara's pregnant." I can see the shocked faces around me at that statement and I notice Bobby start to look frantic. "Tig, talk to me, Bobby is making nervous."
"Salazar has kidnapped Tara."
"What the fuck are you talking about? How did Salazar know about her, let alone get close enough to grab her?"
"Listen; put me on speaker so I only have to say this one more time." I do that then he continued "Tara and that redhead from the hospital both got taken about 3 days ago. According to the redhead Salazar came up and rear ended them, then took them at gun point. Tara tried to get away a couple times but never got away from them both."
"Wait Tig, If the redhead was taken how did she tell you what happened?"
"Well, Tara got a hold of something and cut Salazar's girlfriend...bad and she made a deal to save the girlfriend if he let the redhead go. The cops checked the house but have got nothing. I'm sorry Jax, we tried going through with his demands and everything but Salazar made the cops. That's all I know."
I have to walk away and let the guys get the rest of the information, I heard all I needed. Tara and my unborn son's life were in danger and I was tired of people messing with my family. Salazar, Jimmy and Stahl would all be dead before I go to prison. I punch the van and turn to the guys.
"Load up everyone; we have to make this flight and get back; let's go!"
Hope everyone likes it! Please Review! Thanks Northwoman for being my Beta.
