Hey guy's Sorry for late update
Hope you enjoyed the last chapter.
That night Gemma made up the guest room for Pippa so she didn't have to return home with the threat that somebody could be watching the house and waiting for Jax and his family, Pippa was grateful that she had someone like Gemma to look after her when nobody else was around and if she was honest with herself it felt like she was the same old little girl coming to stay at Gemma's for a sleep over but she wasn't that little girl anymore and Gemma wasn't just one of the President's old lady, She was Jax's mother and Destiny's Grandmother. Things were different this time.
Pippa and Jax took Destiny to her bedroom together knowing that she would have questions neither of them could answer until they knew more themselves.
Jax opened the covers for Destiny to climb into her bed; Once she was laid down he covered her over with the cover. Destiny looked at her parent's worriedly "What's going on? Why are we staying and Grandma's and not home?" Pippa looked at Jax as h explained what had happened "Somebody got into the house sweetheart and I was scared that they might take you and Momma away from me again" Pippa felt her eyes begin to water knowing it was already hard enough for Jax the fear of losing them to such tragedy would kill him. Destiny reached out and touched Jax's hand "Daddy, I don't want to leave you, Please stop the bad person from coming back" Jax reached over and wrapped her in his arms as she cried. "I promise I will find this person, Nobody is taking you away from me not now not ever" Destiny nodded into his chest "I love you daddy" Jax smiled and kissed her forehead "I love you too Princess" He looked over at Pippa and reached out his hand for her to hold "And I love you too" He pulled her into him as well so she could sit on his lap "I love you both" she said softly wrapping her arms around them both.
Once Destiny was settled Jax got ready to leave "I'm going to stay home and keep an eye on the place, you'll be safer with Mom" Pippa shook her head "How am I meant to sleep without you?" Jax chuckled at her "I'll call you when I get home, I'll be on the end of the line until you fall asleep. I promise baby" He pulled her towards him and kissed her ferociously "I love you baby" he murmured against her lips "I love you to" she replied as she parted from him, Jax nodded and let her go as he walked out of the door and climbed onto his bike "stay safe" She whispered as he rode away.
Jax cut the engine on his bike and climbed off reaching his lock he secured to a steel pipe outside the house and weaved the chain around his back wheel a few times before he locked the bolt and took his helmet of and walked towards the house. Once he was inside he threw his keys into the bowl next to the front door on a table that had photos of Destiny when she was a toddler and a picture of him and Pippa on his bike when they were teenagers, He smiled happily as he walked into the kitchen, he placed his helmet and glasses on the table and picked up the mail Half sack had left when he watched the house that morning, browsing through the letters he found a letter addressed to him with no postage stamp but it smelt like perfume he lifted the letter the envelope to his nose it gave a sickly sweet too strong for his liking but he recognized it but he just couldn't remember where. He opened the envelope and pulled out a pink piece of paper that had neat blue hand writing all over it, He looked carefully reading every word
Jax,
You should be with me, She isn't right for you
We could be happy again, I promise.
I will give you a baby if that's what you want.
Please Jax, Let me make you happy.
Suddenly he felt his leg vibrating and reached into his pocket to pull out his phone, flashing on his screen was a photo of Pippa and him wrapped in each other's arms. He answered the phone lifting it to his ear "Hey Darlin', I've not long got home." Jax kept thinking about the letter and the smell of perfume that stuck in his nose. "I want to come home. This bed is too big and empty," She said sadly, Jax smiled "I just want you to be safe Darlin', we need to figure out who this person is before I'll be letting you come back here. I don't want to lose you again" "Jackson Teller, How many times do I have to tell you we are going nowhere" Jax rolled his eyes "Phillipa Winston, How many times do I have to tell you that it's not safe here, somebody has broken into the house and stolen your pictures it isn't over Baby, You might not want to leave but whoever this is they want you gone and if the only way I can keep you safe is having you stay there, then I'm going to do it" He could hear Pippa huff down the phone "Don't call me Phillipa, you know I hate it" Jax laughed lightly "Fine then Pippi, I'm going to have a shower I'll call you once I get into bed" "You haven't called me Pippi since I was eight years old, It's sad to admit but I like when you call me Pippi" Jax laughed as he heard her giggling "You are crazy woman, I love you" "I love you too" Jax ended the call trying to think who would have sent him the letter.
Jax threw the letter back onto the table and walked into the bathroom; He turned the nozzle on the shower so it was mildly hot, and climbed out of his clothes and placed his phone on the edge of the sink. He stepped into the shower letting the water cascade over his body, He couldn't get the letter out of his head, who would send it, Tara wouldn't she was bigger than that, this was childish drama; Wendy style. That was when he recognized the perfume, it was the same brandy Wendy wore on the night they met, but back then the smell was intoxicating because it got him through another day without Pippa. Jax stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel round his waist as he grabbed his cell from the edge of the sink. He walked into his bedroom, dialled Wendy's number, and kept waiting for her to pick up but there was no answer. He quickly threw on a pair of boxers and sweatpants then slipped on one of his samcro t-shirts. Heading out of the bedroom he noticed that the living room light was on so he quietly walked to his bedside unit and opened the door to find his gun but it was missing so he texted Tig, Opie, Bobby and Clay to get them to head over to the house.
He slowly walked to the living room and spotted her there sat casually on the couch "What are you doing here?" He said as he looked at her from where he was standing leaning against the door frame. "I needed to see you, I'm sorry about everything" Jax looked bemused at her "I'm sorry, I never should have lead you on like that" She looked at him as tears formed in her eyes "You told me you loved me, Why can't you still love me?" Jax walked into the room nearer to her but she pointed his gun towards him "You come closer and I will shot you Jax, Then your precious Pippa won't have you anymore" Jax shock his head as he edged back "You'd leave Destiny without her Dad too would you?" She looked at him carefully then laughed "Pippa hid her from you for seven years, She's learnt to live without you before so she can do it again" Jax couldn't see an out from this situation he couldn't even hear anybody outside He just wanted to get out of this situation and make her disappear. "This isn't you, Put the gun down. You deserve somebody who is going to make you happy and love you more than I ever did" "You just threw me to the side so you could play happy families with your best friends sister, I love you Jax, I really love you. Just let her go and be with me again please" Jax shook his head "I can't I'm sorry, I've never felt more complete in my life than I do now. I would give up the club for them but Pippa wouldn't ask me to." The sound of bike engines roared down the street setting alarm bells of in her head "You called the club? This is not a club matter damn it" She shock the gun at him getting angry "Tel them to go, Say every things fine" Jax nodded and walked backwards to the front door. "Don't let them out and don't walk out that door" Jax nodded, he slowly opened the door to see Opie and Clay climbing of their bikes "It was a false alarm guys, Every things fine" but Opie knew differently he watched Jax signal with his eyes letting him know he wasn't alone, Opie nodded when he realised Jax had signalled for him to go round the back. "Are you sure Son?" Clay asked trying to peer past Jax "Yeah, I'm fine just going to get some sleep" Opie tapped Clay's arm nodding towards the back gate signalling to go that way. "Well G'night Son" "Night" Jax replied as he walked back into the house and closed the door. The engines began again as the rest of the club headed off leaving Clay, Tig, and Opie behind.
"Look you don't have to do this, Just let it go. Let me go" She looked at him as tears filled her eyes "I can't let you go. You've been part of my life since we first met" She sat on her knees next to the coffee table, leaning her head on it while still holding the gun. Suddenly they heard movement outside "Who's that?" She asked as her head rose from the table "I don't know" Jax replied as a window smashed in the bedroom. She panicked her hands begun to shake and she begun to pace the floor "Look I can get rid of them if you want?" She shook her head "No they will just take you with them and come back and kill me" Jax shook his head "I won't let them touch you, I promise" Opie gasped as he saw the woman holding the gun pointed at Jax. "Put the gun down" He said as he came into view with a gun pointed in her direction, Tig and Clay followed close behind him. She laughed weakly waving the gun around "You were meant to be on my side Opie, We've been friends for years and you side with him" Opie kept the gun steadily trained on her "When it comes to my family's safety then yes I pick them" She became frustrated and her hand tightened on the gun without realising a shot was fired. "Tara! What have you done" Opie called as he ran to catch Jax before he hit the floor.
R&R
Shocker right?
Hope this was good enough!
A/N: We saw how Tara had a hard time letting Jax go in an earlier chapter well i thought rather than bring Wendy in to complicate things i thought i'd have Tara stalking him lol Though Wendy is mentioned i'm not sure whether i want to bring her in. I needed something to happen to Shake things up a little, Stalking Tara is probably going to be around a while.
