Eric: Well, it has been too long.
Amber: Hmm, it has.
Eric: Are you well? Given?...*He looked around*
Amber: I am well. At peace watching my children.
Eric: So, tell me. You didn't…*He looked around again*...Pull me here unless it is important.
Amber: The baby is part yours…*Eric sighed*...But if you want out. The DNA will know and slowly pull from you.
Eric: Making the baby his?...*Amber nodded*...How?
Amber: The Dhampir blood line is confusing unless you know the ins and outs. You sure about this? Once you do this…
Eric: I'll stay away for those nine months. Amber, it'll ruin her life.
Amber: Yours or hers?...*Eric glared at her*...Why are you fighting it?
Eric: Because it'll be another way that I'm competing with him. I see the way she looks at him, she loves him. I'm not stupid. Her life is with Jax and that's where she needs to be.
Amber: So you are giving up?
Eric: No, I'm making the choice for her. We both know that she will choose me. If Jax ever finds out…I won't be the reason that he wants her to release him. Amber…*Amber sighed*
Amber: She loves you.
Eric: And I love her. It's…Bad timing. Who turned him?
Amber: Now that I can't tell you. The witches here will have my neck…*He looked around*...They hardly gave me the okay to drag you here. Which you should go because we don't want them trying to keep you here.
Eric: We wouldn't want that. Take care of yourself…*Eric gasped as he came back to his body*
Taylor: Finally! I thought something was wrong with you. I just uh…I just wanted to say that I love you and no matter what you choose…Eric, this baby will always be yours.
Eric: Taylor, I have to go back home for a while.
Taylor: You are not walking out on this baby? On me?...*Eric stood out of the coffin*
Eric: That baby is Jax's and only his…*Taylor slowly stepped away from him*
Taylor: Then you need to go…*Eric sighed, he went to kiss her and she turned her head away from him*
Eric: I love you…*Taylor closed her eyes and cried as he walked away….
Two weeks later and it was the night of the full moon. Taylor had just put the boys down for bed and walked down to get a blood bag. Tyler knocked and not long after, Jax walked through the door. Taylor hugged him tightly and handed him a shot of whiskey to help with the nerves. Taylor checked her phone for the billionth time today and her heart broke every time there was nothing.
She was holding onto hope that Eric would want this baby. Hoping Eric would change his mind but he was pushing her away. She had to swallow it and move on, her family was here and her boys needed her. The only thing she wanted was her mother and advice*
Amber: I'm here and you are doing great, baby girl. He will come back.
Taylor: You feeling okay?
Jax: Nervous.
Tyler: It's normal…*Jax sighed*
Jax: I really wish it was you…No offense…*Tyler nodded*
Taylor: I know but with the baby…I…
Jax: I know, I know.
Tyler: We should get ready…*Jax went to change and checked on his boys. After he walked out back with Tyler and looked up at the moon. Taylor rubbed on his shoulders as she felt his emotions*
Jax: How long will it take?
Taylor: The first couple are usually the worst. After a while you build up the tolerance, it still sucks though. They start to happen faster.
Tyler: Here. Wolfsbane. It'll help but it'll burn…Badly…*Jax looked at Taylor and she nodded. Jax drank as much as he could before he spit and coughed it back up. Jax turned to look at Taylor and she held his face*
Taylor: You can't run from this. I am so sorry this is happening to you, my child. But now you are truly a hybrid, you have wolf running through your veins. Not only that, you have mine, Eric and Klaus's blood in you. You come from warrior blood and you will get through this. The best part about this is the run and the free will of turning when you want to. Our boys, our daughter will be able to bond deeper with us when they run with us…*Jax sighed*
Jax: I can't do this.
Tyler: Yes, yes, you can and I'm right here…*As the moon was now in place, Jax yelled as he felt a snap in both of his wrist. Taylor closed her eyes as she felt his pain*...You have to clear your mind…*Tyler yelled as he started to turn and Jax felt himself fighting the shift*
Taylor: Stop fighting it. Your body knows what to do.
Jax: I'm not.
Taylor: You are. You are weak Teller. You always have been…*She looked at Tyler and he nodded for her to keep going*...How can you handle taking care of a family when you can't even handle this?
Jax: Stop it. You know I can…*Taylor saw his eyes glow and he yelled more. A few moments later…Jax sat as a wolf in front of her. Taylor kneeled down on one knee and caressed his fur*
Taylor: As your maker I am unbelievably proud of you. Now go…Run and let the wind, the night air show you what being wolf is all about…*She smiled as he ran off with Tyler….
Time had passed and Jax took the time once a month to shift. The turn was getting easier, faster but it still hurt like hell. Eric still hadn't reached out to Taylor but she did still send text or a picture from her appointments. She left voicemails about how they went. Eric didn't listen to a single one of them. He hated that he had to fight and be so deep in Claire to drown out Taylor.
Some nights, he'd look up, see the full moon and she was the only one who came to mind. Amber hated watching the hard moments but she also knew why he was doing it. If Eric wanted a baby, he wanted a baby and to fully be with Taylor. Amber respected him for that and respected that Eric knew what he wanted. She knew they would be together because it was destined to happen*
Abel: Mommy! Mommy! Look what I made!
Taylor: Babe! You are the best block builder ever! Don't tell daddy but you are even better than him…*Abel laughed and continued to play with the blocks. Taylor held sleeping Thomas and looked at the door as she heard a knock*...What?...*Taylor looked at Thomas and then back at Abel seeing that he was content. Stahl looked at Taylor's kids and Taylor made her eyes glow*
Stahl: Teller here?
Taylor: No but you knew that already.
Stahl: May I?
Taylor: My children are here.
Stahl: I mean no harm…*Taylor growled and Stahl held her hands up. Taylor stepped aside as Stahl walked in*
Abel: Are you daddy's friend?
Stahl: I'm a friend of your mommy.
Abel: Mommy…Mommy is the best…*Taylor smiled and bent down to kiss his head. Taylor set Thomas down as he still slept and Abel kissed his brother's head*
Taylor: Go play babe. I will work on lunch…*Abel sat back with his toys*...Blood?
Stahl: New blood…*Taylor gave her the New Blood and started working on lunch for Abel*...Do you know anything about the sons with the IRA since they took your son?
Taylor: No.
Stahl: Is that your answer or an old lady answer?
Taylor: I don't know anything.
Stahl: Jax and you ever figure out school…*Taylor glared at her as she heard her son starting to wake. Taylor vamp sped and grabbed Stahl's heart. Stahl gasped in pain as she grabbed Taylor's shoulders*
Taylor: Now that I have your attention.
Abel: Mommy, Tommy is awake and I'm hungry.
Taylor: Coming baby boy. If you ever talk about my boys I will rip that heart from your chest.
Stahl: You…You…You shouldn't.
Taylor: In fact I am. You feel that…That's your lung. I have no interest in what deal Esther made you. I do know that I am much older than you, stronger than you. I can kill you any time and any place that I want to, if I feel like it. You don't know the first thing about being vampire. That'll always be the reason you get yourself killed. Now get out or I'll put you out…*After Stahl left and Taylor got her boys situated, she called Gemma*...ATF is back.
Gemma: How do you know?
Taylor: Stahl just left the house. She's digging into SamCro and IRA.
Gemma: Alright, I'll call Clay and you call Jax. It's a scare tactic. They try to take out the women first.
Jax: Hey baby, you okay?
Taylor: ATF just left the house.
Jax: What?
Taylor: Asking about SamCro and the IRA.
Jax: Not good. Thanks for the call. Anything else happen?...*Taylor bit her lip*
Taylor: Well?
Jax: What did you do?
Taylor: I may or may not have stuck my hand in her chest…*She heard Jax sigh*...It's the baby…*Jax chuckled*...Then she started talking about the boys and I may or may not have lost it.
Jax: I love you. Hey, you talk to Eric?
Taylor: I love you.
Abel: MOMMY!
Taylor: See you later….*It was the nightfall and Taylor was worried when Jax wasn't answering his phone. There was a knock at the door and she looked at the time. Taylor looked like she had seen a ghost…Eric*...E-Eric?
Eric: Jax here?
Taylor: He's out still. Eric.
Eric: Summon him.
Taylor: What is going on? Talk to me…*She rubbed his had and he yanked away from her*...Get out.
Eric: Excuse me?
Taylor: It's been two and a half months! No calls, no texts, nothing. You walk in here like you care. You care nothing about me or this baby! Get out! You made it perfectly clear that you didn't want me or the baby. Thank you for making it clear that we are done. So if we are done and have been…Get. Out. My husband should be home soon…*Eric glared down at her as they had a stare off*
Eric: We are done. So done that the thought of you makes me sick. I am not here for you. I am here for your husband. So don't get your panties in a bunch…*Taylor bit her cheeks from the pain*
Jax: We okay here?
Taylor: Eric is here to talk to you.
Eric: You aren't needed. Go…*Taylor crossed her arms*
Taylor: Whatever you say to him. You can say in front of me.
Eric: I'm afraid you should bring the boys home.
Jax: This is their home?
Eric: It's about the school…*Jax sighed*
Jax: I have to go. I can't do this right now.
Taylor: Jax, we really should talk about this.
Jax: Babe, not tonight. The club…Piney knows. I have to go.
Eric: You are running from it…*Jax sighed as he took his hat off*
Jax: Then what is there to talk about? Send my kids away? Abel is now two, Thomas just turned one. Now we are just supposed to send them off somewhere. Where they could be safe?
Taylor: Jax…Just th-
Jax: STAY OUT OF IT TAYLOR!
Eric: Do not raise your voice at her…*Taylor looked at Eric*
Jax: You wanted to talk. So talk. Please enlighten me why we should send our kids there.
Taylor: It'll help them Jax.
Jax: What did I just say?...*Taylor sighed and looked away as Jax made his eyes glow. She went to get a snack and eyed Eric as she went to walk upstairs*
Taylor: Talk it out, hear each other out. Nobody likes a pregnant, angry wolf…*Taylor walked up and heard Abel*...Hey baby, you okay?
Abel: I can't sleep mommy.
Taylor: Okay. Come here.
Eric: You're in a biker gang, in and out of jail, in and out of this house. The first sign when they get older is this.
Jax: And what you do is any better? Running a vampire whore bar...*Eric popped his fangs*
Eric: Jax.
Jax: Those are MY DAMN KIDS! MINE!...*Taylor walked down*
Taylor: Abel just went down. Stop yelling. Jax, why don't we go to the school and see it with our own eyes. Eric, this isn't just about the school? What is really going on?
Eric: There is a threat after your kids…*Just when Taylor thought he didn't care. Eric was here because his boys were in trouble*...His name is Ky. Bonnie said he is really nasty. She told me the stories and the fear on her face. He's a different type of witch, a siphon.
Taylor: What is that?
Eric: Witches that can't just do magic. They pull from magic. So the magic he sucks, the more power he gets…*Taylor sighed and rubbed her little bump. Eric saw and looked at her bump*
Jax: And you want us to send the kids to a place where he could get to them!?
Taylor: There are witches there to help.
Jax: You are really okay with this?
Taylor: I'm 50/50 but I think this will be great for them. Jax, let's just see it and maybe that will ease your worry…*Taylor sighed as Jax walked out and she wiped her tears. Eric looked at her and she looked at him*...The coffin is still down there if you want to just stay for the day.
Eric: Taylor.
Taylor: I have to check on Abel.
Eric: Taylor, you know they belong there. Apart from us.
Taylor: I know, Eric. I know. I just…I have no idea if I send them but then they are so far away that if anything were to happen. We aren't there.
Eric: But I am close by and if you would like…I can check on the boys. You can come every weekend if you would like. Jax can too if he is free.
Taylor: The club is really bad right now. I don't think I have ever seen Jax and Clay this bad before since I have known both of them.
Eric: I'll stay.
Taylor: You made it very clear tha-
Eric: I know, I know…*He sighed*...Night…*She nodded and walked back up to Abel*
Taylor: Abel?
Abel: You left me…*A few hours later, Taylor heard Jax finally coming back home*
Jax: You still awake babe?
Taylor: Abel has been in and out of sleep all night. I hope he isn't getting sick.
Jax: Or maybe he knows you are about to send him off.
Taylor: Seriously? Jax…
Jax: I'm going to bed.
Taylor: You are spiraling…*Jax looked away from her*...You need to tell me when you aren't doing okay.
Jax: I'm fine…*He walked to the bathroom*
Taylor: You don't even see it. You need to control not only your wolf impulses but your vampire ones as well.
Jax: I said I'm fine…*Taylor vamp sped to him*
Taylor: As your maker I command you to tell me what's wrong.
Jax: No.
Taylor: I said as your maker I command you to tell me what's wrong…*He sighed and she held his hand*...Tell me baby.
Jax: I just…I haven't felt like me since everything went down. Then everything with the club. I just…I need to go Nomad.
Taylor: Okay, what is that and why haven't you said anything to me?
Jax: You're pregnant and have enough to worry about.
Taylor: I am also your maker and your wife. It'll get better. It's just your body has to adjust, you need time.
Jax: Promise.
Taylor: Promise baby.
Jax: Nomad is basically where I will be riding alone, no back up but I can come and go as I please.
Taylor: Babe, if that's best for you. Then I am always here for you. Are you sure that's the best? Fixing the club.
Jax: It's the best thing for me right now. I just have to put space between me and Clay…*His phone rings*...What!? No, I'm on my way…I'm sorry.
Taylor: Make sure you take a blood bag…*They kissed deeply*
