Hey Guys.. So well this chapter is complete and utter rubbish to me.. I wanted to write so many things differently but i felt this was the best way i could succeed with it..
Oh, my life is changing everyday,
In every possible way.
And oh, my dreams, it's never quite as it seems,
Never quite as it seems.
Pippa moved away from Jax spotting the little girl walking through the door, She couldn't hold back she ran to her daughter and picked her up in her arms "I missed you so much Baby" She leaned into Destiny holding her tightly making sure she was real "I missed you Momma, Miss Tara was nice when the bad man tried to hurt me" Pippa's head pointed in Jax's direction he walked towards them and lifted Destiny from Pippa's arms "Why don't you go get cleaned up squirt" Jax put her on the floor and nodded his head to one of the girls "Go with her" the short brown haired one followed Destiny making sure she was ok. "There's something you need to know" Jax said as he grabbed Pippa's hands "Jax what's wrong?" the door opened and Bobby came in with the rest of the crew whilst they had Opie lifted trying to pull him inside, Pippa made her way to her brother when Jax pulled her back "You don't want to see this trust me" Pippa looked at Jax for answers "What happened?" suddenly Pippa heard a voice she didn't want to hear "I need him on a table quick" Tara called out. Pippa glared at Jax "What the hell is she doing here?" "She's the only one who can help him until we get home. It was the only way I'm sorry babe" Pippa pushed him away "In case you've forgotten she's the same women who stole your daughter because you didn't want her" Jax reached out to grab Pippa's wrist as she pulled away "Opie was her friend, she didn't want him to die" Pippa shock her head and headed to the bar. Once she reached the bar she spoke to the women behind the bar "Hey you got a phone I can use?" The women smiled "Sure sweetie, Just down the corridor to the left" "Thanks" Pippa called as she headed to the pay phone. Pippa picked up the receiver and dialled Gemma's phone, waiting for Gemma to answer Pippa watch Jax as he watch Opie, "Hello Gemma Morrow" "Gemma it's Pippa, Jax found Destiny but guess who he brought back with him" Gemma growled down the phone "I swear to god that boy is going to get my boot up his ass" Pippa heard Opie's screams "Ope's in a bad way I don't know what happened nobody will tell me, We need to get him home." "I'll sort something out, just leave it to me sweetie." Pippa ended the call as Destiny and the girl with the brown hair came out of the bathroom "Thanks for taking care of her" "She's a sweet kid, I'm Cherry" She held her hand out for Pippa to shake "Pippa" Cherry laughed lightly "We all know you. Your Pippa Winston, Jax Teller's old lady" Pippa's cheeks flushed red "I hate being known as his old lady, I would just like for one day somebody to call me his girlfriend" Cherry laughed a little "Well hey your Jax Teller's Girlfriend" Pippa smiled brightly. Destiny clung onto Pippa as she walked back into the bar "Momma, Are we going home soon? I really Miss Grandma Gemma" Pippa smiled softly "Yeah baby, She missed you too. We all did even uncle Tigs" Destiny giggled "but he's always silly Momma" Pippa laughed at her daughter, She'd only been gone days but it felt like the longest time in her life.
I know I've felt like this before, but now I'm feeling it even more,
Because it came from you.
And then I open up and see the person falling here is me,
A different way to be.
"I need to get him to a hospital Jax, If I don't he might not make it" Jax nodded "Do what you got to do" Tara pulled out her phone and dialled the hospital "I need an air ambulance Were at the Sons of Anarchy Club house in Tacoma Washington, to Saint Thomas Hospital in Charming" "Yes ok, I need it as soon as possible if he doesn't get their soon we could lose him" Tara ended the call and looked at Jax "There on their way but I don't know if it's going to help" Pippa pushed past the crowd and came to a halt next to the tables lined up together holding her big brother, her protector. Tears slipped down her cheeks as she stroked his cheek "You got to pull through this you oversized Ape, I need my big brother and Kenny needs his Daddy." Pippa noticed the small smile creep up on his lips "Donna" then the worst happened Opie's heart stopped beating "No, Save him you have to save him" Jax pulled Pippa back by her waist pulling her away from Opie as Tara tried resuscitating him, "et her out of here" Pippa kept pushing towards Opie but suddenly an extra pair of hands pulled her away "Come on Pippa, He wouldn't want you to see him like this" Kyle spoke as he and Jax dragged her out the back to the dorm room she and Jax had occipued. Pippa threw herself onto the bed and turned away from them both and began sobbing into the pillow "Hey man thanks but I got it from here" Jax said as he turned towards the door "cool man" Kyle said as he walked out of the room and closed the door. Jax sat ext to Pippa on the bed gently stroking her hair as she cried "It's Opie, He's a survivor. I've seen him walk through a shower of bullets when he lost Donna, that shit tore him apart." Pippa sat up turning to Jax as she wiped her eyes "You ever think your stupid club got her killed, she was my best friend Jax, she's the person I ran to when things got tough. I miss her every day and I'm glad I wasn't here to see her die but I wish he'd ran when mom gave him that option because getting away from you would have been the best thing he'd ever done" Pippa climbed off the bed starting towards the bathroom when Jax jumped of the bed and headed towards her pinning her to the wall "Just because Tara is here you're getting pissed with me, If it wasn't for her he would never have made it back to the club so be grateful." Pippa slapped him around the face "I am nothing but grateful that she has helped him but all the agony she has put this family through and your still defending her, You need to make your mind up Jax." Pippa pushed him away and walked into the bathroom locking the door, Jax leant against the door banging "What's that supposed to mean?" Pippa sat on the floor crying, she realised since she'd been back in Charming she'd had nothing but pain and suffering, She began re thinking things and maybe coming home was the worst decision she'd made.
Jax was sat outside the bathroom door for three hours waiting for Pippa to come to her senses but everything was silent so he got tired of waiting. Jax pushed the door handle and realised it was open so he opened the door carefully and found Pippa's body laid on the floor next to the toilet, Jax quickly flew to her side to make sure she was ok, He lifted her in his arms walking her to the bed laying her down. He then realised just how exhausted she was the fighting wasn't helping her and everything that had happened the past two months had torn her apart. "You look so beautiful, I just wish you knew just how much you complete me" He whispered to her as he laid a small blanket over her "I love you" He said as he kissed her forehead and made his way towards the door to find out what was going on "Me too" she said softly as she rolled over to lay on her front. Jax laughed lightly as he walked out of the room carefully closing the door behind him.
Jax walked into the bar to see everyone sitting around but he walked straight outside for a cigarette, He walked up to a large rock and sat down on it as he lit his cigarette "You told her the truth yet?" Jax looked up to see Tara looking at him "No and right now she's got enough to deal with. She hasn't forgiven you for shooting me" Tara sat next to Jax "It was an accident; I would never intentionally hurt you Jax." Jax nodded as he took another pull on is cigarette "She doesn't know that, She thinks you hate her and your destroying her life" Tara let out a small gasp "I never hated her, I've always admired her strength especially when it comes to this club and Destiny. I am sorry that I couldn't get in contact sooner" "Why did you take her? It's the one thing I don't understand, you could have done anything to hurt us, but you took our daughter from her. You know she thought she'd never see her again. It almost broke her" Tara looked down at her feet "I once worked for Georgie to pay college tuition fees but I eventually got so caught up in the dancing that I was taking drugs to keep me awake in class. He paid my debt and told me that one day he'd expect me to return the favour" Jax threw his cigarette on the ground "So he took Destiny because he knew it would affect her more than anything" he said "He thought if he had destiny she'd go back to work for him, He saw some of her work for Luann and it set him off" Jax became frustrated "You need to tell her, if you don't she's going to want your head on a plate" Tara nodded. Jax stood up and walked back inside.
I want more impossible to ignore,
Impossible to ignore.
And they'll come true, impossible not to do,
Impossible not to do.
Pippa woke feeling the softness of the bed beneath her, she quickly climbed of the bed and ran through the door until she slammed into a rock solid figure "He where you running off to?" Pippa looked into his piercing Blue eyes "Where's my brother?" He smiled as he touched her cheek "He's back in charming, Tara got his heart breathing Mom and Piney are taking care of him now" Pippa let out a sigh "So you're going to tell me I'm being stupid and that she's this great person aren't you?" Jax laughed as he moved forward and kissed Pippa's lips "No I was about to tell you, that I love you and that you are amazing and I think I must be the luckiest man alive" Pippa blushed smiling shyly "It helps that your hot" she winked as she turned back to the dorm room, Jax followed her closing the door behind him "We need to get our stuff together and head back home, Destiny has been telling everyone about her Grandma Gemma" Pippa laughed lightly "She misses her" Jax pulled out the duffle bag and began throwing their clothes in side it, he then spotted Pippa's panties still hung on the Television from the evening before "best not forget these" he said as he picked them up and tossed them into the bag "I like those ones" Pippa smiled "You like all my lingerie" Jax laughed "True" Jax zipped the bag up and lifted it up off the bed "Come on let's get our girl home" Pippa nodded as she followed Jax back into the club.
They all loaded up Tara's car with their bags whilst Jax and Pippa stood next to his bike with Destiny beside them "Look I know this wasn't the plan but it's the only way, if you wanna go home tonight?" Pippa crossed her arms "I know. I still think she's psychotic" Jax smiled "Play nice, Just hear her out" Pippa shook her head "I said I'd ride home with her but I'm not going to talk to her, If she drives me and our daughter off a bridge I blame you" Jax laughed "Tara wouldn't do that, She wouldn't hurt Dest" Pippa snickered "Yeah if you say so. Be careful ok! I love you" Jax smiled as he leant down and placed softly kiss on Pippa's lips "I love you too" he said against her lips. Destiny began to poke Jax at his waist "Daddy, Will you be coming home with us now?" Pippa looked at Jax waiting for his reaction but he looked back at her shrugging his shoulders "I don't know Sweetheart, Why don't you ask you Mommy" Destiny turned to Pippa "Can Daddy live with us now?" Pippa bit her lip trying to hid her excitement "Yes Daddy can if he wants too" Jax looked at Pippa quizzically? "Really? You want to live together?" Pippa smiled brightly as she nodded "we basically live together anyway, might as well make it official" Jax smiled as he kissed her fore head. He crouched down to Destiny "You young lady be a good girl for your Mommy and look after her" Destiny laughed as Jax placed a kiss on her nose "I will daddy Love you" she ran off to Tara "Love you too Pumpkin," he called after her. Pippa looked at Tara as Destiny climbed into her Car "How are you sure you can trust her? She shot you and kidnapped our daughter?"Jax followed Pippa's view and reached out for her hand "I don't trust her but I know she wouldn't harm destiny and she's been dealing with a lot. Let her explain" Jax quickly kissed Pippa's forehead and slowly let go of her hand as he walked towards the gang and his bike.
And now I tell you openly, you have my heart so don't hurt me.
You're what I couldn't find.
A totally amazing mind, so understanding and so kind;
You're everything to me.
Pippa walked to Tara's car and climbed in buckling herself up, she then turned around to look at Destiny smiling brightly. The boys pulled out on their bike's with Tara pulling out behind them and following them home. Once Destiny was asleep in the backseat Tara decided it would be a good time to speak to Pippa about everything. "We really need to talk" Tara said quickly glimpsing at Pippa from the corner of her eye, Pippa sighed "Do I really need to hear this?" "I would really like you to hear me out please" Pippa shook her head "This better be good Tara" Tara took a deep breath as she started "When I was in college developed a drug addiction and I got into loads of debt, My boss decided to pay my debt of under the pretence I owed him a favour" Pippa looked at Tara "You worked for Georgie?" "How did you guess? Well I suppose you could tell with him being in Charming. Well he told me to take Destiny and my debt would be paid off but he lied, I took her to him. I still don't know why I took her" "You were scared. I was scared of Georgie when I worked for him." Tara nodded "He took us both but I protected her, I wouldn't allow him to go near her so he began getting frustrated" "Why did you get all crazy and shot Jax?" Tara watched the bikes ahead "I felt lost, for so long I'd been holding on to him, He loved me a few weeks ago and he eagerly jumped into your arms and it broke my heart. Seeing him with Destiny hurt me because I wanted to be the only women to bare his children. Would you believe I never meant to shot him? I would never intentionally hurt him" Pippa nodded "I would have helped him but Clay wanted to kill me so I ran ad I've never ran when I've seen someone in a bad way" Pippa looked at Destiny praying that she never has to witness the violence and pain they all have been suffering "My daughter nearly lost her dad and I nearly lost the man that I love because of your stupidity, You need to be punished for that at least. You don't deserve to die though" Tara nodded.
After hours of driving they'd finally made it back to the clubhouse, when Tara pulled up Jax walked towards them as they climbed out, Destiny ran straight into Gemma's arms and shared a heartfelt embrace. Pippa stood with Jax watching the embrace, Jax wrapped his arms around Pippa's waist nuzzling into her neck "She isn't dead, so does that mean you talked?" Pippa nodded and reached her arm up to place her hand o Jax's cheek "I want her punished though Jax, It isn't fair for her to act like a raging nutcase and get away with all the bad that she did" "I know, Unser is on his way down here, they have a warrant for her arrest" Pippa looked towards Tara who stood awkwardly against her car.
Gemma let go of Destiny smiling "I missed you so much Baby girl" Destiny smiled "I missed you too Grandma, Miss Tara took good care of me" Gemma caught a glimpse of Tara "I bet she did, You run ahead inside Uncle Tig has a surprise for you" Destiny shot past Gemma and into the club as Gemma alked towards Tara.
Gemma grabbed Tara by the throat "How dare you, You nearly killed my son then took his daughter. I don't know why they haven't killed you but I'm telling you know you come near my family again your dead" Tara nodded. Jax placed his hand on Gemma's arm "Get off her Mom, She's explained her piece. Just leave her alone" Gemma looked t her son "All the trouble she caused and you still let her go" suddenly the sound of siren's headed towards the clubhouse, The gates where opened and a police car came inside and pulled up beside Tara's car. Chief unser climbed out and walked towards Tara "Tara Knowles I'm arresting you on suspicion of attempted murder and kidnap" Tara nodded as she lifted up her arms for him to handcuff her. Tara looked at Jax and smiled slightly "Thank you, for everything. I'm truly sorry" Jax nodded "I'm sorry too" Unser opened the door to the backseat and let Tara climb in herself. Unser closed the door behind her and turned to Pippa and Jax "We are going to need you to come down to the station and give us your statements" "Thanks man, we appreciate what you've done for us" Unser nodded his head and climbed back into his car and drove off.
Jax turned to look at Pippa and noticed the tears in her eyes "Hey what's wrong?" he said as he walked towards her, "I'm going inside" Gemma said as she walked away to meet everybody else inside the club. "I'm worried about Ope, I haven't even thought about him the whole way back, I need to see him and I've got to make sure Kenny is ok" Jax nodded "Well lets go say a quick hello to everyone then we'll head to the hospital and make sure he's ok" Pippa nodded and reached for Jax's hand as they walked towards the clubhouse.
Inside the clubhouse Destiny was relishing in the attention, everybody was smiling and happy that she was home safe Tig had even brought her a bicycle and fixed up a play area outside. Jax and Pippa sat together watching Destiny "I'm happy we have her back, I thought we'd lost her for good. I was so scared" Jax wrapped his arm around Pippa's shoulder "I wouldn't have come back without her; you know I would keep on searching until I found her" "I know you would. I was just so afraid of having to live a life without her in it because she has brought me so much joy and happiness since the day they placed her in my arms" Jax smiled "I wish I'd been there for both of you then maybe none of this would have happened" Pippa looked into Jax's eyes "I think us finding each other again was inevitable and now we can move on with our lives and be a family but the one thing that is concerning me is how did you get Destiny back and what happened to Georgie?" Jax looked at Clay and Chibbs who shared the same menacing smile "Well you might not want the gorey details of what happened but long story short he won't be bothering us again" Pippa raised her eyebrow at them and crossed her arms "Who are we kidding She's one of the club she can handle it" Clay said looking at Pippa as he took a puff from his cigar "Happy and Chibbs went in asking for Destiny back but Georgie sent out his bodyguard but Happy beat the shit out of him then Georgie tried to make a getaway but Opie started firing bullets at him while he was driving" Clay nodded towards Jax to continue "Ope stood in the path of his car causing Georgie to run him down, Bobby and Me went to find Destiny but we also found Tara locked In a room together. When we came out of the building Bobby took Destiny to the van while Tara helped Opie. I walked over to see if he was ok and he was brely breathing but it pissed the guys off so Happy, Chibbs and Clay where all stood at the trunk of Georgie's car where Happy had tied him up. You can imagine what happened next" Pippa nodded "Does anyone know how bad Opie is?" they all shook their heads "I really need to go see him" Pippa stood up and walked towards Gemma "Can you watch Destiny for a few hours? I really need to see my brother" Gemma reached out to hold Pippa's hand "Whatever you or Piney need right now I'm here. Your family Pippa and you know I'm always happy to see my grandbaby" "Thanks Gemma. I really appreciate all you've done for us" Gemma pulled Pippa closer and wrapped her arms around her "You're the daughter I never had sweetheart and I love you just like I know you love my son" Gemma whispered into her ear. Jax walked over to them as Gemma and Pippa parted "What's going on here?" Pippa smiled as she turned to look at Jax "Nothing much your mum just offered to have Destiny so we could go see Ope" Jax smiled "Ok then, We'll collect her from you later" Gemma shook her head "No you too have a night to yourselves tonight, You two have had enough going on these past few weeks I think tonight you need a break. She's fine staying with her Grandma." "I don't know Gemma, we've only just got her back. I don't want her staying away from home yet" "It's not an option young lady she'll be back tomorrow, I promise I'm not some psycho who's going to run away with her" Gemma laughed but received a death glare from Jax "Ok, Well just let her stay tonight, I will bring her home first thing" Pippa gave into Gemma "Ok one night Gemma. I want her home tomorrow" Gemma nodded. Jax and Pippa walked off to find Destiny riding her bike up and down the hall with Tigs helping her "She's a born natural just like you sweetheart" he said smiling at Pippa, remembering teaching Pippa how to ride er first bicycle. Destiny beamed at her parents "Look Daddy, Uncle Tigs showed me how to ride my bike without stabilizers" Jax smiled "I know Pumpkin, you're doing great, Maybe we can take you out side on it soon" Pippa smiled brightly "You ok with staying and Grandma's tonight? If you don't want to you can come home" Destiny climbed of her bike "I want to stay with Grandma please Mommy" "Ok but be on your best behaviour" Destiny nodded as she ran up too Pippa giving her a kiss before running to Jax to kiss him too "Bye Mommy and Bye Daddy" They both chuckled as she walked towards Gemma "She's already so grown up" Pippa and Jax walked out of the clubhouse and over to Jax's parked bike. They put on their Helmets and climbed onto the bike heading towards the hospital to check the status of Opie's injuries.
Oh, my life,
Is changing every day,
In every possible way.
And oh, my dreams,
It's never quite as it seems,
'Cause you're a dream to me,
Dream to me.

A/N: So i know your probably annoyed that suddenly Tara is no longer Crazy lol i don't know i felt that i needed to get ride of her somehow but i didn't want to kill her so i thought maybe if she accidently shot Jax and If she previously knew Georgie herself it would get me out of killing her. I know i'm being mean to Pippa aren't i.. she''s had no luck since returning to Charming.. I am wondering weither i should let Opie Die or if he should Stay alive so you decide..
OPIE DIE OR OPIE SURVIVE? (YOU DECIDE)
