*Taylor was pushing eight months and was huge. Jax loved how big she was, Abel always gave her belly kisses and said how much he already loved his baby sister. Kelly and her girls threw her a baby shower. Kelly finally told her sister that she was almost two months pregnant. Taylor was so happy for Kelly and Randy.
Amber was happy that she got to see her girls having families and would do better for their children. Eric was running Fang and keeping up with Taylor through Trish. He glamoured her to not tell Taylor and he was happy that Taylor was okay. It killed him that it had been eight months and they haven't really spoken a word to each other. Pam saw as his mind wandered at the mention of her name.
Taylor's water finally broke and Jax cried seeing his baby girl. They both agreed to the name…Marianna Faith Teller. Kelly came and saw her sister and her niece every day. They talked about all things baby while Jax and Randy talked about normal guy things. Jax noticed the difference in Taylor since Eric stopped showing. He knew there was a fight but he just didn't know what it was about. All he knew was that they weren't speaking.
Gemma was staying with the boys since Jax and Taylor were at the hospital. Her heart dropped as she found a letter to Jax from Maureen about the letters from John. She looked all over the house when the boys were asleep but couldn't find them. She knew if Jax ever got a hold of them that it would change everything for her and the club. Her radar was now open for the letters and knew this would be so bad if word got out.
About a week after Taylor came home, Eric finally reached out. Wishing her all the luck with the new baby and asking when he could see her and the baby. It made her heart leap with happiness that he finally wanted to talk. Taylor hoped that Eric loved this baby girl as much as he loved the boys*
Taylor: Hey.
Eric: Love…*She hugged him tightly*
Taylor: Don't you ever do that again. You understand me?
Eric: Yes mom…*He wrapped his arms around her tighter*...I'm sorry. I.
Taylor: I know why. I just…It sucked not having you here. Come in. She's asleep…*Eric walked in*
Eric: Taylor…*She smiled*...She's beautiful just like her mother…*Taylor hugged him from behind as he looked at her daughter*
Taylor: I know she's Jax's but…
Eric: She is mine as well…*Marianna started to cry as she woke*
Taylor: I have to feed her. Do you?...*He smiled*
Eric: Please…*Eric watched Taylor as she heated up the bottle. She looked more beautiful than the last time he saw her. He took the bottle and looked down at Marianna. Marianna smiled so big as she looked up at Eric and Taylor bit her lip*
Taylor: She knows who you are…*Taylor kissed his head as he fed Marianna*...Thank you for coming. I missed you so much. I really did.
Eric: I missed you too. I love you, I never stopped and I won't ever. You know if you were ever in danger.
Taylor: I know…*She sighed*...I know. I love you too…*They sat and talked most of the night….It was the next day…
Jax: Babe.
Taylor: Yeah baby?
Jax: I'm off.
Taylor: Be careful. I love you.
Jax: I love you. Tell Eric I said hi…*Taylor nodded. Taylor started to give the boys lunch when Gemma knocked and walked in*
Taylor: Hey…*Gemma smiled and Taylor walked in the living room while the boys ate*...Gemma?...*Gemma went to say something and then stopped. Taylor picked up Marianna and fed her*
Gemma: I found this. It fell out of one of Abel's coloring books…*Taylor knew for sure how to hide her emotions*...Do you know what this is? Or where he may have found it?
Taylor: What is it? What does it say?
Gemma: A note. Talks about some letters.
Taylor: Letters? Letters to who?
Gemma: You hiding something from me?
Taylor: Gemma, why would I do that?
Gemma: The same reason you keep answering my questions with questions.
Taylor: So, then it sounds like you already know the answers.
Gemma: No, I don't. What I do know is that letters from John Teller would be very painful for Jax to read.
Taylor: Why?...*Gemma sighed*
Gemma: John was in love with Maureen Ashby. Trinity, you know his daughter. Stirred up all that old dirt. I had already fallen in love with Clay. When Thomas died…I-I didn't care anymore. I didn't ever try to hide anything and that was my mistake. It put Clay at risk and it was humiliating for JT. Jax doesn't know any of that. Jax finding out this could spark things up with Clay again. John ripped me apart and spent months at a time in Belfast with her. Left me here. Alone…With his sons.
Taylor: Gemma, I'm sorry.
Gemma: I was nineteen and he was my whole world. This ain't good for anybody…*Taylor put Marianna down*...Taylor, do you understand me? Wherever this goes, is very very bad for our family…*Gemma grabbed her purse and left. Taylor sighed, packed up the kids and went to the hospital to make copies of the letters. Eric told her to do that beforehand and she never did. Well, her bones were telling her a back up plan was needed and she went with her gut. After she took the boys for ice cream and met Jax back at the house right in time for Opie's wedding*
Abel: Daddy look!
Jax: I'm watching little man…*Taylor smiled holding Marianna*
Taylor: So…How's it feel to be married?
Opie: Like a prisoner…*Jax laughed and Taylor smiled as she shook her head*
Piney: Hey Red?...*Gemma looked over as she saw Piney with Taylor*
Taylor: Hey.
Piney: You have a second?...*Taylor nodded as she handed Jax Marianna*
Taylor: You okay?
Piney: Yeah, yeah. Do you remember when you said that you had found some letters from John?...*Taylor nodded as she ran her fingers through her hair*...Well…
Taylor: Piney, you practically shut the door in my face? Why do you want to know about it now?
Piney: The club is headed into troubled waters and maybe with something you read will help me from rocking the boat…*Taylor raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms*...I truly do want to read them. John was my friend and I have a right.
Taylor: You know and I know that is a load of bull. What do you need the letters for?
Piney: I can't tell you that…*Taylor looked confused*
Taylor: Piney?
Piney: I need them for leverage.
Gemma: Everything okay?
Piney: We were just finishing.
Taylor: We should…Finish…*Gemma glared at Taylor as she walked back over to Jax*
Jax: We have to head out…*Opie walked over to Piney*
Taylor: Be careful. I love you…*Jax kissed her*
Abel: Bye daddy.
Jax: Bye my boy. I'll see you later….*Taylor got to the house and her eyes went red as she saw the door was open. Taylor got the kids over to Kelly's and Kelly watched outside of the window. Taylor didn't smell anything but she did feel something here. As she went to reach for her phone, a silver chain came around her neck and she yelled in pain as it burned her skin. Kelly made sure the boys weren't paying attention as she saw Joe dragging her out of the house.
Eric jumped out of his sleep and checked his phone seeing a text from Kelly. He called his pilot and told him to get ready to use the jet. Eric kissed Claire, left her a note and got ready in a hurry. Jax hurried home after he got off the phone with Kelly. He called Val and Val told him that she was on her way over. Taylor was in and out, feeling weak.
Taylor felt groggy, like she couldn't wake up but she wanted to. She groaned as she leaned on her elbow and fell onto her back. Joe walked into the room as he saw her moving finally. He smiled as he saw that she was still out of it. He knew he had her right where he wanted her but the wolf in her wouldn't go down without a fight*
Taylor: Why?
Joe: Stand up…*Taylor could hardly get on her knees*...I know some hardcore witches and well, I doubt you will be able to stand.
Taylor: Joe…*She coughed*...Let me go.
Joe: Fight me.
Taylor: Eric…*Taylor groaned in pain as Joe threw her into the wall*
Joe: None of that Eric mess. I thought you hybrids were a little harder to kill?...*Taylor reached to grab a piece of glass and when Joe grabbed her, she stabbed him in the eye. As he yelled in pain, she crawled away as fast as she could*...You are dead for that!
Taylor: ERIC!...*Joe kicked Taylor down the stairs and she groaned as she laid there in pain*
Joe: Have you seen this before? The cure. You aren't strong enough for you to fight me from shoving it down your throat…*Joe straddled her and Taylor fought him off as best as she could*...Stop fighting…*Joe hit her upside the head. Taylor went in and out as she heard ringing in her ear. Joe smiled as she rolled onto her side*...Ya know, you never bored me with how feisty you are…*Taylor forced herself out the door and Joe stalked her. Talking cocky as she crawled away. Taylor felt whatever strength she had left, vamp sped him to the ground and he gasped as she put her hand through his chest*
Taylor: Us hybrids. Always getting the upper hand. This is going to feel good…*Joe popped his fangs and Taylor ripped his heart out. Taylor smiled and fell back onto her back*...E…E…Eric…*As soon as Eric's feet touched the ground, he was off to Taylor. He picked her up and looked at her in sorrow*...Th-the cure…*Eric looked over and grabbed it*
Eric: I got you love. I got you.
Jax: Oh baby…*Eric set Taylor down in the bed*...What is that?
Eric: The cure. Put it in a safe place. I mean really safe.
Jax: A cure? For?...*Eric looked at him*...Why didn't she take it?
Eric: She likes who she is. You?
Jax: I'm okay…*Eric nodded and they looked at Taylor as she started to wake*...Hey baby. Here, drink up…*Taylor slowly sipped the blood bag*
Eric: Love, did he say how he got the cure?
Taylor: No, it had to be…Bonnie? When he was in that prison world with her…*They looked over as they saw Caroline calling her*...Hello? Care, you okay?
Caroline: It's Stefan.
Taylor: Stefan?...*Eric looked at Taylor*
Caroline: He…He's dead. Come home…*Caroline hung up and Taylor slowly set her phone down*
Eric: Love?
Taylor: Stefan. He-he's dead…*Jax looked at Eric and he held her hand as she cried…
Kelly came with Taylor and Jax to Stefan's funeral. Plus she wanted to see home and their friends. She hated that it was for a funeral but happy to see the people that she missed. They spent some time with Jess. Jess enjoyed time with the kids as always. Taylor watched her boys sleep the morning of the funeral. Jax sighed and held her hips from behind*
Jax: Whatever you need. I'm here baby but we do have to get back home. ASAP.
Taylor: That's fine. I don't want to be here too long anyway. Being here for a funeral sucks. I want to know why and what happened. It's Stefan…He…*She wiped her tears*
Jax: You really think that it's best for you to find that out?
Taylor: What if…What if it had something to do with me? I mean…We were together at one point and I…What if they wanted to get through me by getting to him….*Jax caressed her face and wiped her tears*
Jax: This is not your fault. Trish is here for the kids. Come on…*Taylor sighed and hugged Trish before they left*
Caroline: You made it…*They hugged*
Taylor: Care, I am so sorry…*Caroline nodded and wiped her tears*
Damon: Can we?...*Taylor nodded and they walked off*
Taylor: What happened?
Damon: We made some not so nice friends…*Taylor raised an eyebrow*...Travelers.
Taylor: They came back?
Damon: There is more and more just about everyday. They move too much for you to really track them down. These though…And…*Taylor sighed*
Taylor: Well, anything I can do?
Damon: Just you being back here is nice…*Taylor hugged him*
Taylor: I can't stay long…But.
Damon: Like I said you being here is what is important.
Elena: Taylor…*Taylor hugged Elena tightly*
Taylor: Anyway to get him back?
Elena: Bonnie is working on it…*Taylor nodded*
Gemma: What's wrong baby?
Clay: Piney knows about JT. The letters. I guess Taylor really did tell someone.
Gemma: Piney doesn't know anything. He is just trying to start trouble.
Clay: He knew things only JT and me knew. He threatened to tell the club. I'm sure he wrote about how good friends Piney and him were. How he trusted Piney and I'm guessing that's why Taylor feels that she can trust Piney.
Gemma: Taylor would not hurt this family.
Clay: Old man is protecting himself. There is only one other person who could blow the whistle on this…*Gemma put her hands on her hips*
Gemma: Clay, what are you thinking?
Clay: That history that Taylor and Piney both know is dangerous. Very dangerous.
Gemma: You are talking about the cofounder of this club and the mother of our grandchildren.
Clay: I had John Teller killed while I was bedding his wife. Jax finds that out and he comes for my head. Puts it straight on the reaper pole. It doesn't matter what the reason was…We stop this in its tracks, you and me. Otherwise we will lose everything.
Gemma: You told me not to go setting fires and that's exactly what you are doing here. We don't know if there is anything threatening in those letters. This is just Piney digging up old suspicions. All this stuff going on with the cartel. He is just trying to get under your skin. We need those letters and without them it doesn't matter who knows what. At that point they'll have no proof.
Clay: Yeah. Alright.
Gemma: They aren't in the house. They have to be somewhere safe, where she feels they'll be safe…*Clay nodded*...I'll find them, baby.
Clay: Okay.
Gemma: Until I do. Nothing happens to Taylor and nothing happens to Piney. You hurt them, you hurt Jax.
Clay: I know.
Gemma: Promise me.
Clay: I promise…*She kisses him*
Happy Saturday! I made an Instagram for my writing stuff. I am still trying to figure out what to post and how I should post it. But feel free to head over and check it out. There isn't much on there yet. I am under the same name :)
