Just read it and tell me what you think… Please!?

Chapter 8

Annie was taken out of her own little world when she heard the door of Abel's room open. She lifted her eyes to see who had made their way in and sent Jax a small smile. "Hey, come over here and meet Abel." She reached out her hand for him and he made his way further into the room, when he was close enough he laced his fingers with hers and followed her gaze toward the tiny baby boy in front of them. Jax felt his eyes water up with unshed tears, his son made it… he was a father. Jax didn't care that he had tears falling from his eyes as he smiled at Abel who was bundled up in a blue blanket with a matching cap, Annie had seen him at his best and his worst. He knew that when he was with her he was safe to be just Jax, he didn't have to be the tough biker that the world saw or the reaper that his brothers saw and it was relieving. The silence was comfortable between them and they both continued to watch the baby while each of their minds drifted off completely…

Annie's mind

"I can't do this! I really really really cant do it!" Annie cried as another contraction hit her. She was sweating and had tears in her eyes. "Jackson please..I cant. I wanna go home…I don't wanna this anymore." Hazel was about to say something to her daughter but before she could Jax grabbed ahold of her hand and made her look at him "You. Can. Do. This… I promise you that you can do this babe. Aiden and Ryder need you to get through this. Thomas needs you to do it… I need you to do this." Annie listened intently as he spoke and got lost in his blue eyes. She nodded her head and laid back in the bed bracing herself for the next contraction "I can do this."

Three hours later Annie held both of her babies in her arms and felt a feeling that she had never experienced. This is what it means to truly love another person… This was true love in it's greatest form. She smiled as Ryders little hands moved over his face. The door opened and Jax entered the room with a grin on his face "We got a heard of people out there wanting to meet these guys.. Even some patches from other charters dropped in to see third generation SAMCRO" Annie chuckled and rolled her eyes. "Can we just hide for a few more minutes? We'll never get this moment again." Jax placed his hand on top of Annie's and nodded his head, Annie couldn't help but miss Thomas at that moment. Her heart ached constantly for him but it always seemed to heal itself when Jax was around.

Jax's mind

Jax sat next to the hospital bed watching a Harley show that was broadcasting while his brother wrote on a pad of paper next to him. He looked content while he was moving the pen across the lines and he looked determine to get his thoughts out before he lost them. About ten minutes later he put his pen down, folded the paper, and placed it in an envelope with the words "When You're Ready" on the cover. Jax decided not to ask because he knew if Tommy had something to say he would. The brothers were silent as they finished the show and when the credits started to roll Thomas sat up straighter in the bed as if he wanted to talk "Whats up baby brother?" Thomas looked around the room and threw his hands up with a shrug "Im dyin bro, whats up wit you." He spoke in a low sickly voice. Jax shook his head with anger "Don't say shit like that Tommy…" "Jackson. It's the truth…and im at peace with it. I need you to be too." Jax sighed and rubbed his hands over his eyes "And how the hell am I supposed to do that?" Thomas just gave him a half smile and shrugged.

"I wish I could tell you man, but I don't got the answers…Just don't let this take over your life. You got too much to live for and trust me… I'm okay." Jackson gnawed on his bottom lip. "All of us aren't okay." Thomas nodded his in agreement "I know that bro but mom and I have talked and she and I are at peace with it. Same with everyone else. There's only two people who im worried about when I go. You. And Annie. I said my good bye to her and it hurt like hell." Jax could see the tears flood up in his brother's eyes and Jax placed his elbows on the bed and held his head in his hands, he knew Annie loved his brother fiercely and that she would be lost without him. They had grown up together and planned on getting married when they were older. They are perfect for each other.

"I see the way you look at her…The way you've always watched over her for any sign of danger. I know that she's the only person…that has seen the real you. I love that girl, every part of me does and I know...that she loves me too.. But I see her… I see her with you. I see her smile and…" Thomas stopped to catch his breath before continuing "and I see her eyes when you're around. She loves me Jax… but I know that she loves you too." Thomas nodded his head while Jax shook his head no. "Tommy.." "Jax please just listen." Jax stopped and stared at his little brother. "I need you to promise me that you will always take care of her. Promise me that… you will do your best…to protect her." Thomas reached for Jax's hand. Jax couldn't stop the tears that were now falling freely from his eyes as he held onto the fragile fingers that belonged to his baby brother while he poured his heart out. "And promise me… that when the time comes… you will... love her the way... I know that you do… and the way that she deserves." Jackson let out a small sob and wiped the tears from his face with his free hand, he placed it on top of his brothers and nodded his head "I promise." Thomas nodded his head once more before the machine steadied into a long beep with a flat line running across the screen.

The hospital door was opened breaking them both from their trance when a nurse came in and explained that Abel needed a few tests and that visiting hours were over a few hours ago. Annie nodded her head and gathered her purse while Jax waited for her. "Bye baby" Annie said softly while placing her hand on the incubator. Jax placed his hand on top of hers and nodded his head to his son. They started walking down the corridor towards the main entrance of the hospital. As the night air hit them both stopped to breath in the freshness that it held. "What a day.." Annie spoke softly with a sigh. "Yeah it was somethin wasn't it?" Annie turned to face him "Did you handle Darby?" Jax simply nodded his head in response. "Good."

They both stood in front of the other looking around aimlessly. Neither of them knew what to say and Annie was starting to get nervous "I guess I'm just gonna head home. I'll see you tomorrow?" She asked while getting her keys from her bag and looking at him in question. "I'll follow you home. It's too late to be goin by yourself." Annie silently nodded and made her way towards her SUV. As she started the ignition and put on her seatbelt she glanced in her rear view mirror and watched as Jax swung his leg over his Dyna and the rumble of the bike soon followed.

The entire ride to her house she kept glancing back at him and knew that he was watching for any sign of danger. She parked in her driveway and he pulled up beside her and cut his engine. He got to her door and opened it before she could and she slowly slid out of the seat and her feet hit the ground. Jax had one arm still on the door and the other on top of the car so she was right against him. Jax could smell her perfume and watched as her eyes made their way to his own. Annie slid past him brushing chest to chest and started toward her front door with Jax following behind. She turned on the lamp that was on the small table in the entryway and placed her keys in the bowl while slipping off one of her shoes. As she leaned against the wall for support while she bent down to take her other shoe off she gasped when she felt large hands grasp her hips and a strong body lean into her own. Annie closed her eyes as he moved her hair to the side and placed a gentle kiss to the curve of her neck. Then another. Then another. And another. "Jackson.."

The moment his name fell from her lips he lost all control and spun her around to press his lips against hers. He pushed her back against the wall with a thud and her tiny hands moved up his chest and under his kutte, pushing it off of his body and onto the floor. Jax pinned both of her hands against the wall beside her head and continue to lose himself in the taste of her mouth. Their tongues battled for control and Jax needed to feel her against him. He let go of her hands which quickly wrapped around his head and tangled through his hair while his made their way to her ass and picked her with ease as her legs wrapped around his waist. After a few minutes it was no longer enough and Annie began to remove her shirt from her body and their lips parted for only a few seconds… yet it felt like an eternity. Jax spun them around and walked toward her bedroom. He flipped on the light switch and walked over to the bed. He set Annie on her feet in front him when she started to yank at his hoodie. Jax pulled it off of him and tossed it to the floor before grabbing her face and taking her mouth with his again. Annie ran her hand under the white t shirt he was wearing and scraped her nails lightly along his abs. Jax tore it from his body and unclasped the black bra Annie was wearing. Her chest was pressed into his as she stood on her tip toes in order to reach his mouth. Jax gathered her up in his arms again and dropped her onto the bed with him hovering over her. He moved from her mouth to her neck and made his way down her flat stomach.

Annie was breathing in shallow breaths and could not get enough of the man above her. He kissed her like he was a dying man in the desert and she was the water. As he made his way doen her stomach she was able to find her voice again "Jackson…" she moaned when he slid his tongue over her belly button. When he reached her jeans he gently undid the button and the zipper and he rose to his knees while admiring her body. HE very gently and slowly slid the denim off her legs and she was left in only black lace panties. Jax licked his lips and swore that he had never seen a more perfect sight than he did at this moment. "God youre beautiful Annie" He said in a husky voice as he brought his lips back to hers. Annie roamed his body and wanted to feel every inch of skin that was exposed. When she felt his fingers slightly graze over the top of her panties she rose her hips to give him the okay and he peeled the fabric away. Annie buried her face in the crook of his neck and started sucking on the flesh there and then running her tongue over the mark.

Jax slid his hand to the middle of her thighs and gently spread her legs open for him. He slithered down her body until his lips were at her almost touching her most sensitive parts. Annie rose onto her elbows to make eye contact with him and he saw her eyes turn black with want. When he finally made contact with her clit she through her head back and clenched every muscle in her stomach. Jax put his arms around her thighs to keep her from moving away from him and he continued to run his tongue up and down her slit as she continued to squirm and get wetter for him. "Fuck Jackson… ugh" her moans were getting louder. He decided to enter his middle and index finger inside her and started pumping in and out. "You like that Annie?" Her reply was the sexiest moan he had ever heard. He knew she was getting close and he was beginning to get nervous that he would reach his peak before his dick even left his pants but the site was too good to interrupt. HE started sucking at her neck again and she dug her finger nails into his back. "Cum for me Annie." Anne's eyes flew open and she locked eyes with Jackson. He started pumping a little faster and seconds later Annie shattered around him still holding eye contact with him. Her body shivered and her breaths were irregular while he slowly kissed her.

Annie's eyes were closed and she loved the way his mouth dominated her own. She could taste herself on him and she knew that she needed him. Annie reached between them and undid the SAMCRO belt buckle and undid the button of his jeans. "I need you Jackson." She whispered while her hand gripped him inside his pants. "Fuck! Annie don't stop.." he spoke desperately as his head fell onto her shoulder. She slid his jeans over his hips with her feet and continued to stroke him. "I need to be inside you" Jax spoke through ragged breaths. Just as he was about to plunge into her he stopped and looked at her and moved the hair out of her face with his hand while the other held him above her "tell me you want this" Annie leaned up and gave him a small kiss an cupped his cheeks while looking into his eyes "I want you Jackson."

Jax filled her completely and couldn't believe how tight she was, he stilled above her until she was used to his size. When she wiggled her hips he began to thrust in and out of her. Jax leaned his forehead against hers and continued to pump himself in and out of her at a ruthless pace. "Oh God.. Jax…Don't stop." Annie moaned desperately. Jax nodded his head and growled "Never." Annie could feel it in her lower belly that she was about to be hit with the mother of all orgasms. They had been at this for a while and both were holding off their release in order to extend this as long as they could. Annie started to gasp for air as her lungs started to close in on her "Cum for me Annie… fuck..fuck.." Annie clawed at the reaper on his back and knew that her nails drew blood but she felt that if she didn't hold on she was going to explode. Seconds later she saw a burst of white light and a violent shudder run through her entire body. Jax roared above her and moments later she felt him bury his face into her neck while he emptied himself inside of her.

Jax stayed connected to her for a few moments before gently pulling out of her. He laid half of his body on the bed and the other half on top of her. Neither of them spoke but he felt her fingertips gently start moving across his back while her other hand scratched his scalp. Jax could have purred like a cat at that moment. He moved his lips towards hers for a gentle kiss and once again they locked eyes. The words were right on the tip of his tongue… just when he went to speak he heard her... "I love you Jackson." And a single tear fell from her right eye. Jax wiped it away with his thumb and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear and gave her his infamous smirk "I've loved you since the day you climbed into my treehouse."
