Tara was busy working in the office at the garage at TW. With Claire staying home taking care of their one-month-old baby girl, and now that Chucky is working at the store, mostly helping with inventory. Someone had to take care of all the paperwork that had been backed up. Tara would ask Lyla to help out, but now that Redwoody was bringing in a lot more money than before, Lyla had been so focused on making new movies. Tara even thought about asking Venus if she could help out in the office, but of course Venus wasn't the office working type. So which meant that Tara had no choice in the matter but to take care of all the backlogs. Luckily it was the weekend and since she didn't have to be at the hospital unless she got called in. Also with both the store and coffee shop being closed over the weekend, Tara had some free time to work at the garage.
While Tara was busy typing away at the computer, she suddenly heard a loud crash coming from the garage. She exhaled deeply and got up from her chair, looking out towards the garage. "What the hell is going on out there?!"
Sorry Ma'am. I accidentally bumped into the toolbox," answered one of the newest mechanics that Jax hired recently after finally firing Tony. At the New Year's Eve party when Tara was alone in the kitchen at the clubhouse, Tony admitted to Tara that he was the one who sent her those flowers, and that he was in love with her. But when Tara turned him down, Tony got angry and almost attacked her, but luckily Bobby and some of the guys were able to stop him and Jax fired him that night. Jax didn't kill Tony though, but he did threaten Tony that he would if he ever caught Tony around his club house again, and if he went anywhere near Tara again. They haven't seen Tony since.
Tara nods her head in understanding." Well just be careful next time. How's that engine coming a long though?"
Mark the mechanic took a deep breath as he looked over the engine of the 2003 Lexus that he had been working on for the past few weeks. "It's coming along," he said, looking back at Tara. "I should be done in a day or two."
" Good, because I can call Mrs. Wilson and let her know that her car will be ready soon." Tara said as she walked back into the office and went back to work. As Tara was about to sit down she looked out the office door as she noticed Jax and some of the guys rolling in. As she walked out she noticed Bobby and Opie helping Tig out of the van.
" Jesus Chris! What the hell happened to Tig?!" Tara asked as soon as she walked up to Jax with concern. Even though there really hasn't been any kind of danger in Charming for the past four years. Doesn't mean there's still no danger out of Charming.
Jax exhales deeply as he threw his arm over Tara's shoulder as they started to walk towards the club house." We sorta ran into a few problems while we were at Disoa."
" What kind of problems?" Tara asked in confusion.
"Some asshole was harassing one of our girls. Tig intervened and got himself shot in the shoulder," Jax answered as they both walked into the clubhouse.
Tara exhales deeply as she shook her head." Unbelieveable." She said as she walked over to Tig." Let me see." Tara removed the bleeding rag so she can see how deep the bullet went through his shoulder.
" Are you gonna be able to pull out the bullet?" Tig asked as he took a drag of the joint that Chibs handed him.
Tara nods her head." Yeah, I just need to get my medical bag." Put pressure on his shoulder." She told Chibs as she handed the bleeding cloth over to Chibs as she walked away and went towards their dorm room to grab her medical bag.
" Are you okay?" Jax asked as soon as they both walked into their dorm and he leans back against the dresser as he watched Tara throwing whatever medical supplies she's gonna need into the bag.
" I thought we were done with this shit, Jax. For four years now, everything has been going really well, and now here I am patching up bullet wounds again." Tara answered in frustration as she picked up the bag and was about walk out of the room when she felt Jax grabbing her wrist.
Jax pulled Tara closer to him as he looked down at her. "We're fine babe, there's nothing to worry about," he said softly.
"Are you sure?" Tara asks, sighing deeply.
Jax nodded his head as he leaned down and kissed her lips softly. "I'm positive babe," he answered as he wrapped his arm around Tara's waist as they both walked out of their room heading back to the compound.
After Tara took care of Tig's shoulder, she walked back into the kitchen to wash the blood off of her hands as she noticed Jax was right behind her." He should heal just fine." She said softly as she ran her hands under the warm water.
" Thanks babe, are you ready to go home soon?"
" I still got lot of paperwork to do in the office, I still got like an hour or maybe two left." Tara answered as after she dried her hands off and walked up to Jax as she threw her arms around his neck." Just let me finish up in the office, and we could go home."
Jax wrapped his arms around her waist as he pulls Tara closer to him as he nods his head and leans down and kisses her deeply and passionately as he groans softly against her lips, placing his hand against her face. Slowly breaking their kiss he rests his forehead against hers as he exhales deeply.
"You're working too hard, babe."
Tara shrugs her shoulders as she stroke her fingertips against the back of his neck." I know, but with Claire at home with the new baby and with Chucky working at the store. Someones gotta take care of things in the office." Tara wishes she didn't have to work so much, she would rather spend the weekend at home with her family instead of working in the office. But until Claire can come back, Tara is gonna do what she needs to do.
Later that night after they got the boys to bed, Jax and Tara spent the rest of their night cuddling against each other on their couch, watching a movie from Netflix. While they were in the middle of watching the movie Tara looked up at Jax as she had something important, she wanted to tell him.
"Providence Hospital called again."
Really? When?" Jax asked as he looked down at Tara, bringing his brows together.
Tara sat up, causing him to sit up as well. "A few days ago actually, and Jax, they're still interested in me." She answered as she moved some of her hair behind her ear as she looked at him.
Well, are you thinking of taking the job this time? Four years ago when Tara first got the job in Oregon. They were all set to leave Charming and start their new lives in Oregon. But all of that changed when Jax read those letters, and now Tara has the opportunity of taking the job again.
Tara sighs softly as she shakes her head. "I don't know. It's a great opportunity. But with my store and now that I just opened up my coffee shop, I just can't walk away." A part of Tara really wants the job; she always wanted it honestly. But ever since she became the club's new Queen, she made a promise to herself and to her family that she would do things differently for her family and the club.
"What does Murphy think about all of this?"
" She thinks I will be crazy if I don't take the job this time. I told her that I'm gonna need more time to think about it." Tara answered softly.
Jax nodded his head in understanding. "When are you going to tell her?"
Tara said, "She said we need to give them an answer by the end of the week. Do you think I should take the job? She can see it in his eyes and on his face."
"Honestly? Yeah, I do." Jax said as he reached for her and pulled Tara closer to him as he kissed her temple. "Look babe, you've worked so hard for this. It's something you've wanted for a long time, Tara. You can't pass this up."
Tara exhaled softly as she knew he was right; she couldn't pass this up. "But what about the club? And my store and my coffee shop?" Tara asked with concern.
"I'm sure we can find someone to run the store and the coffee shop. The club is doing fine, I could always give the presidency over to Opie. I think it's about damn time that this family finally becomes a real family," Jax answered softly with a smirk as he looked down at her.
Tara smiled broadly as she felt her heart swell with love. "I love you, Jackson."
"I love you too, babe," Jax said softly as he bent his head down and kissed her deeply and passionately, sliding his fingers through her hair. Over the years, Tara had done so much for him, for his club, and for their family. Tara deserved this. She deserved to take that job, and Jax couldn't have been more proud of his wife.
AN: Reason to end the chapter this way. Is because I might end it soon. I know I have said it in the past. But I thinkk this story is ready to finally end and be completed soon. Leave reviews as always.
