" Where is she?" Tara questioned the moment she walked into Disoa and towards the bar, were Lyla was still standing behind it. Wiping down the bar. Jax was standing behind Tara with his hand on her waist. Tara had insisted on facing Gemma alone. But there was no way Jax was going to let Tara walk into a trap.
" She's in the back," Lyla responded. Both Jax and Tara walked towards the back room. Tara was about to open the door when Jax stopped her and pulled Tara to the side for a moment." Jax, what is it?"Tara asked in confusion.
" Are you sure about this babe?"
Tara stepped closer to him and placed her hands against his chest." I know this is a bad idea, but Gemma can't hurt us anymore. Gemma is out of our lives and no matter what she has to say, it's not going to change that." Tara said as she leans up and kisses him deeply and passionately. She sets back down on her feet and pulls back." Now let's get this over with and get back to our boys." Tara said as she walked towards the door and opens it. Walking in with Jax following behind, Tara looked straight at Gemma as she took a seat across from her,
" So you wanted to talk, start talking," Tara said getting to the point and not wanting to waste any more time then she already has,
" I was hoping we could talk alone," Gemma responded as she looked over at Jax who sat down next to Tara. Gemma watched Jax placing his hand on Tara's thigh and could see his jawline twitching and the look in his eyes. Which is telling her that there is no way Jax was going to go anywhere," But since you've decided to drag my son into this, I guess I'll start talking," Gemma said as she sat up straight," What I don't understand is why you stayed," Gemma said looking straight at Tara." You finally had the chance to get out of here and take that job in Oregon, But instead the moment Jax took over the gavel, You stayed. Why?"
" Your right Gemma, I had a chance to leave, We both had the chance to leave, But of course that changed the moment Jax learned the truth about JT and the fact you were involved in it. There was no way in hell I was going to leave not without my sons and not without Jax, I stayed cause I knew that it was the right thing to do. Jax took over the gavel cause we know that Clay never deserved it. I stayed cause no matter what I will always stand by my family," Tara said calmly.
" Mom, what the hell is all about?" Jax questioned.
" There's a reason why I didn't go up to Norco with Nero a few months ago. I want my family back. I want my grandsons back and I will do anything to get them back. All I am asking for another chance here. To show you both that I've changed, that I want to change."
" Unbelievable." Tara scoffed as she shook her head.",After everything you put us through? After everything you've put your own son through? Your seriously asking for a second chance? Well, I am sorry, but no. You don't deserve a second chance. Not with us and not with our sons." Tara looks over at Jax." I'm ready to go." Tara said as she got up and started to head towards the door when Gemma spoke up again.
" You can't keep my own grandsons away from me and you also can't keep Wendy away from her own son either." Gemma said which she knew that would hit a nerve. Tara slowly turned around and crossed her arms over her chest.
" What does Wendy have anything to do with this?"
" I've been keeping in connect with Wendy and she wants to get know her son and I told her that I'll make that happen."
" Really? Why?"
" Because she deserves to know her son and Abel deserves to know his mom. His real that is." Jax snorts shaking his head.
" Yeah, I don't think so and I find it kinda funny. That you want to help Wendy to get to know Abel, considering the fact. You were the one who gave her that surdige the night Abel was born."
" What?!"Jax questioned as he looked at Tara for a moment and then looks over at Gemma." Is that True?"
" Jax, I was-."
"Is it True?" Jax question again cutting her off.
" Yes." Gemma answered quietly.
" Jesus Christ." Jax said as he walked passed Tara without saying another word.
" You did this, positioning my son against me. Filling him lies about me. You've taken my family away from me. You've even taken my club away from me. But one way or the other Tara, I will get it back and there's nothing you could do about it."
" No Gemma, you did this all on your own. You been positioning Jax's mind. Filling his mind with lies. Manipulating him into thinking John's murder was just an accident. You even convinced him that I was cheating on him back when we were dating in high school. All I did and all I've been doing is tell him the truth. Something your incapable of doing. So no, it's my family, my sons and my club. Stay the hell away from us." Tara said grabbing her things and went to find Jax.
" Tara, Are we okay?" Lyla questions as she walked up to Tara.
Tara sighs softly as she slowly nods her head." Yeah, we are good." Tara said walking out of Disoa. Climbing into the truck and after she closed the door Tara looked over at Jax as she reached over and gently stroke his beard." You okay?" Tara questioned.
" Why didn't you tell me?" Jax asked.
"I wanted to and I should have. I'm sorry baby. Are you mad at me?" Tara asked.
Jax shook his head and grabbed her hand as he placed his lips against her knuckles and kisses her hand deeply." No, of course not babe. I know you were just doing your job. Everything is fine." Jax said leaning over and kisses her tenderly." Let's go home to our boys." he said he started up the truck and pulled out into traffic heading back into Charming.
After dinner Jax and Tara, spent the rest of their evening sitting around in the living room watching Toy story four with Abel and Thomas. With a day Tara had and after dealing with Gemma. Tara needed this tonight. Once the movie ended Tara grabbed the remote and shut everything off." Okay boys, let's you two into the tub and then ready for bed."Tara said as she set the remote down.
" Awe, come on mommy. Can't we watch one more movie? Please?" Abel begged giving his parents one of his pouty lips.
" Abel." Jax said firmly." You heard your mom. It's bath time and ready for bed." Jax said as he picked up an gigging Abel and threw him over his shoulder and headed towards the bathroom.
While watching Abel and Thomas playing with their bath toys. Tara looked over at Jax." I'm gonna see if Neeta wants to help out with the fundraiser this weekend. I could use all the help I need." Jax nods his head in agreement.
" I think that would be good. She could keep an eye on the boys while you and the girls handle the booth. I gotta head up to Stocken. But I"'ll try to be back in time to help out." Jax said as he looks over at the boys and then over at Tara." Babe?"
" Going over to Collettes?" Tara questioned.
" Yeah, She said she has some paperwork for me to sign. But don't worry I'm gonna have Opie, Tig and Happy ride up there with me. So you got nothing to worry about." Jax said reassuring Tara.
Tara nods her head and grabbed a towel off of the towel rack as she stood up and grabbed Thomas out of the tub as she wrapped the towel around him." That's fine Jax, just make sure you guys are back in time. So Opie can set up the fireworks." Tara said as she gave him a quick kiss and walked out of the bathroom with Thomas.
" Is mommy mad at you?" Abel asked while he continued to push his toy boat around the tub.
" Yeah, I think so buddy." Jax said as he stood up with a towel and pulled Abel out as he wrapped the towel around Abel and picked him up. He reaches down and pulled the plug letting the water drain.
Twenty minutes later after they put the boys down for bed. Tara walked into their room as Jax followed and close the door behind him." You're mad at me."
" Why would I be?" Tara questioned as she walked over to her side of their bed and sat down leaning against the headboard." You got business to handle with the Madame. Why would I be mad about that?" Tara asked with a shoulder shrug.
" I don't know, maybe it's because you haven't said anything for the past twenty minutes."Jax said as he sat down beside her." Babe talk to me. What's going on in that pretty mind of yours?" Jax asked.
Tara sighs softly as she gave him a small smile." I am fine Jax, everything is fine." Tara said as she leans over and kisses him tenderly and pulls back a little." I just got a lot on my mind, with the fundraiser and I am also tired." Tara said as she reached over and turn off her lamp. She then rolled over to her side fell asleep.
Jax could tell it was something else. But decided not to push her on it. After Jax turn his lamp off and turned to his side. He reaches over and wrapped his arms around her and pulls her closer to him and gently kisses her neck and few moments later fell asleep with his arms around her.
