Thanks for all the reviews. It truly inspires me to write.

12.

Ope was sitting there watching his best friend. He remembered when Jax explained everything to him about what happened. He didn't agree with Jax but he knew that Jax really wasn't thinking straight when he did it. He still couldn't believe how stupid his friend had been. As they sat there Jax turned to him and asked "do you think she will bring him to see me?" He had never seen his friend so desperate at any time in his life. He hated to say what he truly thought.

"Yeah, I think if you give her some time she will."

Jax knew Ope was trying to make him feel better.

"Thanks man. I know I don't deserve her forgiveness, I just want to see him so bad."

"What about Tara? Do you want to see her too?"

Jax couldn't answer the emotions were overwhelming him. "I can't believe I fucked up so badly Ope."

"Look when Donna comes I will try to talk to her about it okay?"

"I don't want to cause trouble between you and Donna man."

"Are you my brother or what? I will talk to her."

"Thanks man." Jax said.

It was about an hour later that they were called for visitation. Jax didn't know why he got so excited it wasn't like it was going to be Tara. But he wanted to know everything he could.

"Hey baby." Gemma said with a smile.

"Hey, how's Tara and the baby. What did she name him?"
Gemma reached into her bag and pulled out some pictures. She handed them over to Jax.

"Oh my God. Mom that's my son."

"Yeah, his name is Thomas Wade Teller. Thomas after your brother and Wade because he has become like a dad to those girls."
"Thomas Wade Teller. I love it. He's so tiny mom."

"As much as he eats it won't be long until he grows. He never seems to give Tara a break with the feeding."
"She's breastfeeding?"

"Yeah, she said she wanted everything to be healthy for him. She knows about the family flaw. He wasn't born with any sign of it but she wants to do everything she can to fight off anything."

He finally laid the first picture down to look at the next and he sucked in his breath when he seen it. It was of Tara holding Thomas.

"Thank you mom." Jax said trying to hold back the tears.

She placed her hand on his. "Jax she still loves you. She is just hurting really bad. Give her some time."

"Well that's all I have right now is time. I just miss her so much." he said as she watched some tears slide down his cheeks.

"I know baby." she said.

Across the room Ope was hugging his wife.

"Hey baby." she said.

"Um.. you feel so good babe."

"I miss you."

"Me too Donna. But we are on the down slope now. Only 6 more months."

"Yeah, it's just that it seems as if it's been forever already."

"I know. So how is Tara and the baby."

"They are doing great. I mean he eats like a little pig. He keeps her pretty busy with that."

"Just like a Teller." he said chuckling.

Donna didn't say anything.

"Donna I need to talk to you about something."

"Okay, what about baby?"

He went on to explain to Donna what all happened and why.

Donna didn't know if she should understand or be more angry.

"Donna talk to me." he finally said.

"I get it Ope, but he could have done a number of other things to split with her. Why would he choose that?"
"It's the only thing he knew for so long. I know that's not an ideal explanation but he got scared. He didn't want her hurt by anything to do with the club."
"But Ope he hurt her badly anyways."

"I know and I have wanted to kick his ass more than just once for what he did but.."

"You kicked his ass?"

"Yeah, um.. when we first came in. Afterwards is when he told me why he did it. I don't agree with what he did, but I do understand it."

"You have to promise me that you will never do something like that to me Ope. It's a deal breaker."

"Never Donna." he said reaching over to kiss her on the lips.

"Anyways I want you to plan the wedding for when we get out and I want Jax to be my bestman Donna. He's my bestfriend and brother."

Donna thought about it for a moment. "Okay, I understand because that is how I feel about Tara."

"I also was wondering if maybe you could convince Tara to bring the baby to see Jax?" he asked timidly.

"Gemma and I have been discussing it with her already. Don't say anything to Jax until she decides okay? Oh by the way his name is Thomas Wade Teller."

"That's great. I was afraid she wouldn't give him the Teller name."

"Tara, Gemma and I have gotten really close. She wouldn't hurt Gemma like that. Besides she still loves Jax she just doesn't want to be around him yet."

"I appreciate you talking to her. Jax didn't want me to ask you because he was afraid it would cause trouble between you and I."

"Wow, I'm surprised he was concerned." she said a little sarcastically.

"Baby, he made a mistake, A big one and he knows it. He loves her too."

"Okay, I'm sorry."

It was time for them to leave and Gemma stood and Jax looked over to where Donna and Ope were. He was surprised to see Donna walk over to him.

"Congratulations Jax. You have a beautiful boy."

"Thanks Donna."

"I see Gemma gave you the pictures. I'm glad. He looks so much like you it's unbelievable."

"Yeah, um.." Jax started to say and he couldn't finish.

"I know Jax. I will tell her." Donna said reaching up to hug him.

Gemma smiled at Ope. She felt like that was the first step now they had to work on Tara.
