Eric: Where are you going?
Taylor: Something is wrong with Jax. When does your plane leave?
Eric: Few hours. Go, I can watch the boys…*Taylor nodded and sighed as she walked off. She gasped as she saw pink roses on her car*...Taylor?...*She pushed them off and looked back at the door*
Taylor: I-I'm okay. Promise…*He nodded and watched her pull off. Eric hated that they were fighting but he had to let go. He had to push her away. Of course he wanted Taylor but to himself and not share anything. Now he would admit that her boys gave him a different look on everything and he was thankful to her for that. He knew she was pissed at him but it was just another couple's fight.
No matter how long it lasted, Eric knew that Taylor would come back to him. It was a love Taylor couldn't walk away from. No matter how much she loved Jax, she couldn't walk away from Eric. As long as Taylor allowed it, Eric would always be in their sons and now daughter's life. There was no way Eric was going to leave her or those kids anytime soon*
Gemma: Hey, everything okay? It's late. The boys okay?
Taylor: Abel is finally asleep. Bonnie said she could come up and check on Abel. But I felt Jax and something…Is he okay?
Gemma: They should be done in the chapel soon.
Taylor: Gemma?...*Gemma looked at Taylor as she heard the concern in her voice*...You think Jax going Nomad is a good idea?...*Gemma sighed as she lit a cigarette*
Gemma: No, you don't want Jax out there alone.
Taylor: But?
Gemma: Hybrid, vampire, wolf or whatever…You don't want him out there alone. No backup and the list of enemies that we have. You really want that phone call where to pick up the body?...*Taylor bit her lip as she felt tears. They both looked over as they heard the door open*
Taylor: Hey, I felt you. So I came down. You okay?...*He nodded as he held her hips*
Jax: Hey baby…*They kissed and Taylor slowly looked at his kutte as she noticed the patches were gone*
Taylor whispered: Jax. Let's just go see the school this weekend. Get away for a little. Clear our heads.
Jax: That sounds great baby.
Gemma: I need to talk to you…Both of you…*Gemma looked at Taylor as she walked over to her car*
Jax: Ride with me.
Taylor: But?
Jax: We'll pick up the car after…*Taylor nodded and held his waist after she hopped on his bike*
Gemma: Sit…*Clay looked at Gemma as he sat down*
Taylor: I will let you three talk.
Gemma: No, sit. I…You need to be here. You know what it is…*Jax looked at Taylor*
Jax: What is this?...*Taylor sat next to Jax and she held his hand*
Gemma: The night of the accident. It-it wasn't an accident. I was attacked by Zoebelle's man…*Jax looked in shock*...Said that if you didn't stop selling guns then this would happen again. At the light a girl came up to me and said her baby was choking. By the time I realized it was fake, she hit me over the head with a blackjack or something. It was Zoebelle's daughter…*Gemma looked at Taylor and Taylor smiled at her slightly*...Out by the access road there were three of them. Zoebelle's right hand man was there, Weston…*Jax smacked his hands down on the table in anger. He got up, held his moms hand and kissed them. Taylor held his hand as she stood, smiled slightly at Gemma again and walked off with Jax*
Taylor: I wanted to tell you but…
Jax: Babe, you were right to keep her secret. Me, the club. We…It would have gotten bloody.
Eric: Everything okay?...*Taylor looked over and Eric looked at her*
Jax: My mom was raped…*Eric took a step closer*
Eric: What?...*Taylor handed Jax a beer as she rubbed on his shoulders. She gave Eric a blood bag and she sat at the table*
Taylor: You going after him?
Jax: Yeah, I would do it for you babe.
Taylor: You already did…*Jax started putting his patches back on his kutte. Taylor looked at the door as they heard a knock*
Clay: I-I know it's late.
Abel: MOMMY!
Taylor: It's fine. I got Abel.
Jax: Babe, you do enough. I got him…*He handed her his gun and walked off with Clay. Taylor sighed as she ran her hand through her hair*
Eric: Taylor…
Taylor: I'm back. You can make it to your flight on time…*He nodded as she set the gun down. She turned around because she didn't want to watch him leave. He smelled her hair and she leaned into him*...Be safe. Promise.
Eric: Promise love…*He kissed her head and she sighed when she heard the door shut. Taylor cried and she jumped when she felt a hand caress her shoulder*
Clay: You okay Red?
Taylor: Yeah, yeah, hormonal. Sorry…*He smiled slightly*
Clay: How's the little one cooking?
Taylor: Great…*She rubbed her bumped*...Did you need something?
Clay: I just uhh…I wanted to say. Thank you for looking after her.
Taylor: Of course, of course…*Clay walked off and Taylor walked up to Jax as he was sitting with Thomas*...You okay baby?
Jax: I'm pissed off…*Jax turned around and Taylor saw his eyes were red and glowing*
Taylor: Breathe. You will handle this with the club.
Abel: Mommy, can I sleep with you?
Jax: Hey buddy, you were just sleeping? You feeling okay?
Taylor: Of course baby. We'll be there in a minute…*Abel smiled big and walked off to his parents room*...He uh…He's been having dreams about Ky…*Jax raised an eyebrow*
Jax: Wha? How does he even know that? Taylor, why didn't you tell me?
Taylor: I'm telling you now. You have been dealing with so much and now your mom. Bonnie is coming down…*Jax sighed*
Jax: I will always make time for my family. Come on…*Taylor snuggled in with Abel*
Abel: Sleep mommy.
Taylor: Okay baby….*A few days later, Bonnie showed and hugged Taylor tightly*...I miss you.
Bonnie: I miss you more.
Taylor: Should we go talk outside before?
Jax: Go head babe. Enzo and I have the boys…*Taylor and Bonnie walked outside and sat in the chairs near the pool*
Bonnie: You look good but you look stressed. It's more than just Abel.
Taylor: Joe came back and…*Bonnie held her hand*...Then Gemma got raped. I think Joe is back again…*Taylor sighed*...I'm pregnant…*Bonnie smiled and rubbed her bump*...Then my baby boy is having nightmares about his killer…Potential killer.
Bonnie: The baby? Jax is vampire. How can?
Taylor: Well, Eric was part of the father…*Bonnie raised an eyebrow*...He…*Taylor broke down finally*...He just walked away. I thought this was something we both wanted. Jax is also the other and I have no idea how it happened but it did. I was just happy to have a baby with Eric but he walked away. Jax is wolf now.
Bonnie: T…*Taylor ran her fingers through her hair*...I'm sorry. I really am. How is Jax?
Taylor: I really don't know. The only person I could think of was Savannah. Normally she pulls me to the other side and talks to me but it's been really quiet on her end.
Bonnie: And Abel?
Taylor: The other night, he said to me that he had a nightmare about Ky. He's never met or seen him before. So how can Ky even get into his head?
Bonnie: Ky is nasty. Bad news Taylor. Abel is young minded and open to anything. It wouldn't take much on Ky's end for him to get inside of his head.
Taylor: You think Ky could find us?
Bonnie: I hate to say it but a simple locator spell…*Taylor ran her fingers through her hair as she cried more*...Hey, Taylor…
Taylor: I am scared all the time. Scared for this new baby, my boys, if Jax goes back to jail. Bonnie, my kids don't need this. I feel like everytime I am close to giving them this good life. It comes around and hits me in the back.
Bonnie: Taylor, you know we will not let anything happen to these kids. I can cloak them.
Taylor: Will that work?
Bonnie: It'll work until it doesn't. The dreams…Ky, may have gotten into Abel's head. I can stop those. Ky most likely got a link onto Abel since it was so easy to get into his head.
Taylor: The unlinking? I have been through it. It's painful…*Bonnie looked down and Taylor sighed. Bonnie then followed Taylor inside*
Jax: Well?...*Taylor nodded her head for him to follow her*
Taylor: Bonnie says she has to see if they are linked.
Jax: But? Babe…
Taylor: He'll be in so much pain. They don't deserve this…*Taylor cried deeply and Jax pulled her in for a tight hug. Eric woke as he felt her pain and sighed when he checked his phone. He turned over, pulled Claire close and fought against the urge to text her*
Jax: Go sit outside with Opie.
Taylor: No, I can't leave him.
Jax: Then I need you to be strong. You're carrying…*He rubbed her bump and she nodded*
Abel: Mommy, why are you sad?
Jax: Come on son. Daddy has you. Aunt Bonnie has to ask you a few questions…*Taylor sighed as Jax sat on the couch with Abel. She held Thomas and started to pace*
Opie: Red, I can take him outside…*Taylor nodded*
Taylor: Thank you.
Jax: Baby, Bonnie can make the dreams stop…*Taylor wiped her tears*...Bonnie, just has to give you a really big headache first. So it may feel like a lot of pressure and it may hurt for a little bit.
Abel: I'm scared daddy.
Jax: Daddy is right here…*As Abel screamed in pain, Taylor held his hand and Jax looked away*
Abel: Mommy, make it stop!
Taylor: I know baby. Almost done.
Bonnie: Done. It's done…*Taylor sighed in relief and Abel jumped into her arms. Jax and Taylor rubbed his back*...Ky was waiting for me.
Abel: He's gone mommy.
Taylor: You can feel him?...*He shook his head no as he wiped his tears. Taylor kissed his head and held him tightly. Jax smiled and hugged Bonnie as Bonnie teared up*
Bonnie: I'm so sorry.
Jax: No, you don't dare be sorry. You took away our son's pain. Thank you for that. Thank you so much. Eric was right. Taylor, we have to go look at the school…*Taylor nodded and held his hand….
Taylor was about 5 months pregnant now. Her heart broke at her last appointment finding out that Jax was the father and only the father. Her mother saw her pain and wished she could have held her daughter through the pain. Taylor texted Eric the good news and told him she was sorry for even giving him hope. Eric ignored the text and kept doing what was best for him.
Taylor had to mash down the pain as they were finally getting away for the weekend. She knew Jax was still nervous about the school but she just hoped this trip would ease his worries. She smiled as Abel sang songs and Thomas tried to keep up with Abel. Jax laughed at the baby noises coming from Thomas. Taylor saw Jax's face as he looked down at his phone*
Taylor: Babe?
Jax: New Sheriff.
Taylor: What? We left like three days ago.
Jax: Things are just crazy right now babe. It doesn't matter right now because I am here with you…*She smiled as he rubbed her bump and she wrapped her arms around his neck*...I love you and this beautiful baby girl so much.
Taylor: I love you.
Abel: Baby!
Jax: That's right. Mom is having a baby…*Taylor smiled*
Caroline: Hey! Finally! You made it. You're pregnant!?...*Caroline smiled big*
Taylor: We didn't really want anyone to know until I was showing…*Taylor looked down as Abel tapped her leg. She looked over as he pointed to the grass, seeing wolf cubs play together*...Abel!...*Abel ran over*
Jax: No, let him babe…*Taylor sighed and teared up*...He's a big boy mom…*He kissed her cheek as he pushed the stroller*
Alaric: As you can see…The wolves playing. We usually allow the kids to shift once or twice a day. Let them run off some steam.
Caroline: While still getting an education and getting trained for the real world…*Taylor pushed the stroller as Jax held Thomas. Thomas saw witches and Taylor saw him looking over as they were practicing spells*
Taylor: Whatcha see baby?
Thomas: T-them.
Caroline: Jax, you are really quiet. Anything on your mind?
Jax: Just taking it all in. There are a lot of kids here.
Caroline: Yeah, we want to help as many kids as we possibly can…*Jax rubbed Taylor's belly as he thought of his daughter. Taylor rubbed his arm as they continued to walk*...We can go inside if you would like.
Taylor: Abel.
Dorian: I can watch him if you would like.
Jax: Who the hell are you?
Taylor whispered: Jax.
Jax: We don't know you.
Alaric: He works here and is a trusted friend.
Taylor: Jax, it's okay baby.
Jax: Watch him…*They walked inside and Taylor was stunned at how they made this place into a school. It felt so weird being back in the house where she spent nights with Damon and it's now a school. It was beautiful and Taylor thought it was great that they were trying to help any age of children in the supernatural world*
Taylor: Wow. You guys…This is stunning…*Caroline smiled as she was happy her friend liked*
Caroline: This is like our study hall. We figure the kids could come here to take a beat when it's quiet. They can study or just relax…*Taylor nodded as she looked around*...Would you like to see the dorms and classrooms for when they are older?
Jax: Please.
Alaric: These are the dorms. With the classrooms, we figured the older kids can switch between and get the middle, high school experience. With the younger kids and since they are brothers. They'll be sharing a room, making them feel more comfortable. This is our gym…Cafeteria…And kitchen.
Caroline: The library is where the witches usually tend to stay as they read. We've been lucky with all of them getting along under one roof but if ever. We do have certain areas where they can be separated to ease the tension…*Taylor nodded and held Jax's hand*...The coolers are for the vamps but they usually have animal blood kept in them.
Jax: All of them?...*Caroline nodded*...I want my boys to be strong. Not on some blood diet.
Taylor: Jax?
Jax: I'm just saying. If they get near human blood then all that animal blood goes to waste. They have ripper running through their veins…*Taylor looked away in shame*...Their mother doesn't listen. I don't listen. It takes one wrong night for one of them to sneak out and bang…Ripper on the loose.
Alaric: We can hope that it doesn't come to that.
Jax: Hope?...*Taylor rubbed Jax's shoulders*
Taylor: Baby, they are kids. They will act and be kids until it finally clicks in. We can only prepare them for so much, we can only do so much. They will always have a way to contact us. Just take a breath.
Alaric: We can go to my office and talk over paperwork.
Jax: We're signing today?
Taylor: No, just to go over something and then we can think about it.
Alaric: Jax, we built this place to help super natural kids. We can't stop them from being kids and making mistakes. That is just another way for them to grow and learn. I do give you my word that we will always keep them safe.
Caroline: I can always call you or you can always call me. I am mostly on the road…*Dorian walked in with Abel*
Abel: Daddy, Daddy! I ran with the wolves and we saw birds. I ran so fast…*Taylor smiled seeing her son so happy*
Jax: You did buddy?
Abel: Can we come back mommy?
Taylor: Daddy and mommy have to talk about it.
Jax: How much are you asking?
Caroline: Two thousand…*Jax sighed as he rubbed his face*
Jax: For each?...*Caroline nodded*...That's four thousand. Six if we wait for their sister.
Taylor: Um. Eric said he would.
Jax: They aren't Eric's kids…*Caroline looked at Taylor as she looked away*...Can we think about it?
Alaric: Of course. Take the paperwork. Taylor has both of our numbers and any questions or concerns. Call us…*Jax shook his hand and they walked off to the car*
Jax: You really want this for them?
Taylor: Anything new is scary. Those gates…*Jax looked over at them*...Are sealed with magic for protection. They will be here and safe. They will be getting an education while learning about themselves. It'll help them, Jax.
Abel: BYE STEVIE!...*Jax smiled as Abel made friend*...Friend mommy.
Taylor: I know babe. I love you and I wouldn't ever send our children somewhere with a bad feeling…*Jax kissed her deeply*
