*It was the next day and Taylor sighed as she opened her eyes. She felt pain and grief. Her emotions were all over the place and she kept seeing Lana's dead body. Taylor came out of the daze, showered, got dressed and walked to her boys*
Abel: Outside mommy?...*Taylor picked up Thomas and took Abel's hand as she took them outback to play*
Taylor: Are you hungry? Breakfast at least. It's hot out and you have to eat.
Abel: No.
Taylor: Yes. Stay with your brother and I will be right back…*Taylor sighed as she walked to the kitchen. Thinking of her sister and her body, Jack and his body. How vicious she was. Taylor shook off the feelings and had to be there for her kids. So she cut up some fruit, grabbed grapes and some dry cereal. Abel smiled at her as she walked back outside*
Abel: Mmm. Grapes mommy.
Taylor: See…So good baby…*They ate and laughed together. They laughed at Thomas and Abel hugged his mom*...I love you.
Abel: I love you mommy…Play?
Taylor: Go ahead. I'll be right here baby…*Taylor watched Abel play and watched Thomas in his high chair. Taylor walked in the house to grab blood and saw Jax's cigs. The only thing she felt would help and take the edge off just a little. She sighed, grabbed them and walked back outside. Letting the smoke take away her pain, blow out her worries and give her a little hope*
Abel: Watch mommy! Watch!
Taylor: I'm watching baby…*Taylor looked over as Jax walked out*
Jax: Hey baby…*He took a cig and lit one. Abel ran over and Jax held the cig away while he hugged his son*...Go play baby…*Jax looked at Taylor and he rubbed her knee*...You still look out of it…*Taylor nodded and Jax saw the blood. He raised an eyebrow as he blew smoke out*...You drinking blood?
Taylor: It's just New Blood…*He kissed her*
Jax: Listen…Clay has us selling again.
Taylor: You think he killed Eve?
Jax: We should have smelled it right?...*Taylor sighed*...We will figure it out.
Taylor: He has you selling again? Jax…
Jax: Just…I know babe but this is going to be the one that gets me out.
Taylor: You…You want out?
Jax: I want out for you, for the boys, for our family.
Taylor: Jax.
Jax: It'll take some time but I have a plan…I just. I just need you to trust me T…*She caressed his face*
Taylor: Whatever you need I'm here…*Jax smiled and kissed her hand*
Klaus: Love, I have to get going.
Taylor: Thanks dad…*He smiled*
Klaus: Anytime little wolf…*They hugged and he rubbed her back. Klaus left and Abel started to cry*
Jax: Hey, what's wrong?...*Abel reached his hands up and Taylor caressed his hair*...You been out here all morning?...*Taylor nodded*
Taylor: Nap time…*Jax kissed Taylor's cheek and walked up to put Abel down for a nap. Taylor made Thomas a bottle then slowly rocked him to sleep. As she rocked him Jax walked in*
Jax: I should head out soon baby. We leave for a few days…*Taylor nodded, Jax packed his bag and Taylor slowly set Thomas down. Taylor walked into their room and hugged his waist. Jax smiled and turned around to kiss her*
Taylor: Be careful baby and first sign of danger…You call me…*Jax smiled*
Jax: I'm a big boy mom.
Taylor: I know…*They smiled and kissed*...I love you.
Jax: I love you more baby…See you in a couple days, three days tops…*Taylor nodded, they kissed once more and Taylor watched him leave. Taylor sighed as the house was quiet. She laid down and figured she should nap while the boys were napping. Taylor jumped out of her sleep as she saw Lana's body again. She ran her fingers through her hair, went to smoke another cig and as she walked back up to bed there was a knock at the door*
Taylor: Gemma, boys are asleep…Right now is not really a good time.
Gemma: Well, if they are sleeping. It's a great time…*Taylor felt her eyes glow and turn red*
Taylor: Not now Gemma. I…I don't want to hurt you.
Gemma: Didn't stop you before…*Taylor closed her eyes as she remember what she did*
Taylor: Please. I am begging you.
Gemma: Where are they!? You threaten me with the letters. You have no idea what type of fire you are playing with.
Taylor: Gemma go!
Gemma: You damn near ripped my throat out and now you can hardly look at me!...*Taylor snapped like she knew it would happen. Taylor hissed her fangs in Gemma's face as her hybrid face was on and had Gemma by the throat*
Taylor: Did I or did I not say go!...*Gemma scratched at Taylor's hand as her grip got even tighter. Eric ran up as he felt Taylor's anger*
Eric: Taylor, let go…*He saw Taylor smile as Gemma was gasping*...Taylor, breathe!...*Taylor let go and gasped as she backed away*
Taylor: Oh my…Gemma, I…I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to.
Eric: You really should go Gemma. Please.
Gemma: She should not be around those boys!
Taylor: I wouldn't hurt my boys…*Taylor growled as her eyes glowed*
Gemma: This isn't over.
Eric: It is now…*Gemma left and Eric looked at Taylor*
Taylor: How did you?
Eric: I felt you…*Taylor sighed*
Taylor: She just kept coming at me and wouldn't stop. I…I didn't want to…*Eric caressed her face and she closed her eyes at his touch*
Eric: I know. I know…You are struggling. Does Jax know?...*Taylor sighed*
Taylor: He's just so happy I'm back…I…
Eric: Love, you are coming back from a ripper binge and are in a very vulnerable state. You have to be careful…*He sighed*...Claire isn't…I can stay Taylor.
Taylor: No. Go to her. I'll be okay.
Eric: Shut up…*She smiled*...Did Klaus say anything before he left?...*Taylor frowned and looked confused*...You should call him but after you rest.
Taylor: Okay…*It was a few days later and Taylor felt somewhat better. Everyday was a challenge and she just thanked her boys for keeping her mind distracted. Taylor had gotten the boys ready to go see Jax but Taylor had another plan as she wanted to go down to the garage. Eric was up and moving as he heard her. He just figured she needed help with the boys and raised an eyebrow as he saw her*
Eric: Where do you think you're going?
Taylor: It's daylight out?...*He gave her a look and she sighed*...Down to see Piney. It's part of my plan.
Eric: Oh you are actually including me in this. Taylor…This…*He sighed*...You tell Jax about the letters?
Taylor: No…Not yet.
Eric: Then you aren't going.
Taylor: I'll be okay. If you feel me…Just run down…*He sighed again and kissed her forehead. Taylor bit her lip at his lips and he smiled*
Eric: Be careful. Keep mom safe.
Abel: Otay Pop Eric…*Taylor smiled and Eric looked in her eyes. They both looked into each other's eyes, saying a million things without speaking. Taylor cleared her throat and took Abel's hand*
Taylor: I uh…I…I'll be back…*Eric nodded*...Come on babies. Let's go see daddy.
Abel: DADDY!...*Taylor got the kids in the car and felt Eric staring. She turned around and saw him looking at her. Taylor sighed, wiped her tears, shook off the feeling and kept moving. Jax looked over as he saw Abel run to him*
Jax: My boy. What are you doing here!?
Abel: Mommy missed you.
Jax: Or was it you that missed me?...*He tickled Abel and Abel laughed. Jax kissed Taylor as she walked over with Thomas*...Everything okay?
Taylor: Yeah. Yeah…I just…I. Piney. While you were away. He…I didn't want to tell Opie and I…Just wanted to make sure he was okay…*Jax nodded*
Jax: He's over there. Come on Abel…*Taylor watched them walk off and she walked over to Piney. Gemma felt her heart drop as she saw Taylor with Piney*
Piney: Hey darling, you okay?
Taylor: Um…Do you have a second?
Piney: Of course. Step into my office…*Piney opened the door to the clubhouse and they walked in*...What's on your mind?...*Piney sat on his bed and Taylor sat in the chair at his desk*
Taylor: I…I found these letters that JT wrote. He talked about the club, how he wanted out of the club. He didn't want the club like this and how he was afraid before he died. He had set up a meeting with the IRA but…*Piney looked confused and angry*...Too much?
Piney: These letters…I want more to see.
Taylor: I have them in a safe place. Clay and you haven't been in the best place as well…You have to be careful.
Piney: JT was my best friend. I have a right to know…*Taylor smiled slightly*
Taylor: You and JT…Were Opie and Jax…JT and Jax. They the same?
Piney: A lot. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree with them. Does Jax know about the letters?
Taylor: No…*Taylor sighed*...I haven't had the courage to tell him yet and I will…I just don't know how to show him.
Piney: Well, I would love to see them…*Piney stood*
Taylor: Thank you.
Piney: You be careful.
Taylor: You too…*They hugged and Taylor walked out. Taylor saw Gemma staring at her and she walked to her. Jax saw and eyed them as Taylor shut the office door*
Gemma: Feeling any better?
Taylor: Cut the shit…*Taylor crossed her arms*
Gemma: No, you cut the shit! Stop digging, stop looking, stop searching. This will hurt my family. Do you hear me? It's old dirt.
Taylor: If it's so old why doesn't Jax know?
Gemma: His father had another lover. Saw Clay and me getting closer. He got jealous.
Taylor: So then what? You killed your husband, father of your sons…Jax's father?
Gemma: No.
Taylor: Yes.
Gemma: You better watch yourself.
Taylor: You ever wonder why Clay doesn't bother with his hands anymore?
Gemma: Wha?
Taylor: Watch your back…*Taylor walked out the office and smiled as Abel ran to her*...My baby.
Jax: Everything okay baby?
Taylor: Of course…*He kisses her and they see Clay pull up*...What's up with him?
Jax: He's here…*Taylor waved at Clay, Clay ignored her and walked inside*
Taylor: Can I tell him?
Jax: No.
Taylor: Please?
Jax: I love when you get angry baby…*Taylor smiled*
Chibs: Jackie!
Jax: Have to go. Thanks for stopping by. I love you.
Taylor: I love you too baby. Say I love you daddy.
Abel: Love you daddy…*Jax smiled and kissed his son*
Jax: I love you too…*Taylor got the kids in the car as Jax walked inside and Gemma caught Piney before he left*
Gemma: What are you doing with Taylor?
Piney: She is just making sure I am staying healthy. Ya know…No vampire blood.
Gemma: I know about you and Clay…Leave this alone before it gets you killed old man.
Piney: Maybe it will….*It was about a week later. Eric had gone back home. There was a party at the garage tonight and Taylor was happy to get out of the house with Jax for a few. One of the croweaters was coming to watch the boys while they were out. Taylor did have uneasy feeling about tonight but she just thought it was because she was leaving the boys*
Jax: Alright, I have to get these two home.
Gemma: You coming to the party later?
Jax: Of course. She's been ready for it all week.
Gemma: I can stop by the house baby. See them…You two should enjoy the night…*Jax smiled*
Jax: Thanks mom. I'll let her know…*Jax kissed his mom and took his boys to the car. Taylor helped him carry the boys and their bags in*
Taylor: Thanks again Lilly…*Lily nodded and smiled*
Jax: Ready baby?...*Taylor smiled and held his hand*
Taylor: I can't remember the last time I was on the bike.
Jax: I can…*He smiled and kissed her. Taylor rubbed his chest and he held her hips*...Mmm. I love you. No kids…Mom said she has them…*Taylor wrapped her arms around his neck*
Taylor: I love you…*Jax drove down and Taylor hugged Lyla*
Chibs: Red. How are ya darling?
Taylor: Hey. Good good…*They hugged. Taylor and Jax laughed, they drank and she rubbed his shoulders as he laughed with the guys. Taylor's blood ran cold and they looked over as a car pulled up*
Clay: Who is that?
Tig: I don't know…*The door opens and Stahl pops up. Gemma's eyes got big and Taylor ran over. Taylor grabbed her throat and pinned Stahl against the car*
Clay: The hell?
Taylor: You died!...*Stahl smiled and made her eyes turn red. Taylor looked in shock and growled*...Who the hell turned you!?
Stahl: Your grandmother came to me and pulled me from the great beyond…*Stahl looked at Clay and Jax noticed*
Taylor: I should gut you…Right here, right now.
Stahl: You can't.
Taylor: Is that right? Hybrid beats newbie vampire everytime.
Stahl: I don't think so…*Taylor went to swing and Stahl put her hand through Taylor's chest, grabbing her heart. Taylor gasped and grabbed Stahl's arm*...Do I have your attention now?
Jax: You made your point. Now let go of my wife…*Taylor gasped more and coughed up blood*...Stahl!...*Stahl smiled*
Stahl: Esther is one clever witch…*Jax saw a tear fall from Taylor's eyes as she felt the grip on her heart tighten*...She made me strong like your father. So I can't be beat. I will finish what I started but you should know…Jax…She wants your wife, her father and his siblings. Your half sister, she is after her as well.
Taylor: You…You bitch…*Taylor smiled and felt more blood drip from her mouth*...Think I'm scared of you?
Jax: Taylor!
Stahl: So help me…I will rip your heart clean from your fucking chest…*Taylor groaned and Jax took a step but Opie stopped him. If Stahl was in fact as strong as she is claiming to be. Opie knew Jax had no chance but all Jax knew was to protect his wife. Taylor laughed and Stahl looked confused*
Taylor: She…She lied to you…*Taylor headbutts her and bit Stahl*...You can't beat me. You can never beat me…*Stahl healed and Taylor looked in shock*...What the?
Stahl: Those kids are as good as dead…*The guys pulled their guns, Taylor grabbed Stahl's throat and Stahl gasped as she held onto Taylor's wrist. Taylor was inches from her face and growled as her eyes glowed*
Taylor: I will find a way and you will suffer.
Jax: You touch my boys and you'll have both of us to worry about…*Taylor shoved Stahl, making her head hit the car. Stahl nodded at Clay and got back in the car*
Stahl: Watch your back…Mrs. Teller…*As Stahl drove off, Taylor ran for Clay and the guys aimed at Taylor. Gemma gasped taking a step back*
Jax: Taylor! NO!
Taylor whispers to Clay: Whatever deal they made you. I hope it was worth your life because it'll get you killed permanently this time. You better hope that they get you before I do or Klaus…Maybe even Eric or Jax. I know you have been made vampire and I hope it was worth every drop they wasted on you. Mark my words…You go near my boys or I find out you killed my sister or even had something to do with her death. I will find numerous ways to make you suffer so bad, you'll wish you were dead…*Taylor pushed him and spit at his feet*...DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!?...*Clay stared at her as she walked back to Jax and Jax saw that she was shaking*
Jax: Baby?
Taylor: Get me out of here Jax…*Jax felt his eyes change as he glared at Clay. Taylor got on his bike and Jax pulled off once he got on*
Opie: What was that about?
Clay: Nothing…
