*Taylor drove back to the clubhouse to wait for the guys. She looked at her phone and Kelly sent her a picture of the boys eating. She smiled and she smiled even bigger when Eric said he would meet her at the house. Taylor sighed as the guys pulled in and knew this was the moment she had to see Jax off. It hurt every time it happened and now that her sons were older, it hurt even more.
She didn't want to have to explain why daddy went away. Taylor hated lying to her kids but they were too young to know the truth. How the last few months have been going, all she hoped for was that her kids didn't choose this life. She didn't want them living the ripper life as well but she would take that over this. Even though she knew the club would always take care of her family.
She didn't want that life for her kids. Taylor hoped that the school back home would really help but for now she had to settle for a daycare near the house. She made sure they took in supernatural kids. It gave her peace when they did, Gemma wasn't too big on it but Taylor didn't care. She was doing what was best for her children*
Taylor: I love you so much.
Jax: I love you too.
Taylor: Promise me that'll you stay safe and that you'll feed on someone or more than one…*Jax smiled and caressed her face*
Jax: I promise…*Taylor let go of his hand and watched them take him. Taylor then ran to him and wrapped her arms around him. Taylor cried as he held her*...I know, baby. I know.
Taylor: I love you. I love you…*Taylor wiped his tears*
Jax: I love you too. You tell my sons daddy loves them and you give our daughter all my love…*Taylor nodded and kissed him while they cuffed him. She gasped as she saw Opie punch a cop*
Taylor: Ope! No!
Gemma: I know baby. He has too. It's okay. He's staying close…*Taylor wiped her tears as they pulled off*...You okay?
Taylor: Yeah, I just…I need my kids…*Gemma nodded and watched Taylor walk to her car. Eric saw lights and walked out to Taylor. Taylor hugged him tightly and he smelled her hair*
Eric: The kids are asleep. I got you…*Eric jumped back as he saw her shoulder pop and Taylor yelled. He looked up and saw no full moon*...Are you?
Taylor: AHH! What is happening to me!? AHHH!
Damon: Mrs. Teller, I see that it worked…*Eric hissed his fangs at the man*
Taylor: Who-who are you?...AHHH!...*Taylor fell to her knees as she felt her spine pop*
Damon: The man who killed Tig's daughter.
Eric: Damon Pope? I'm the father. Why are you doing this to her?
Damon: Because I can. Mrs. Teller, you will stay this way until the next full moon…*Taylor made her eyes glow in anger*...You have thirty minutes…*He whistled as he walked off*
Taylor: Eric!
Eric: What do you need me to do?
Taylor: AHHH! Kelly knows their daycare schedule…UGH!...*Taylor sat as she was wolf*
Eric: Kelly and I have the kids. Don't worry about it…*Taylor ran for the next month. Some nights were harder than others. She felt more wolf than herself and stayed near the house as a reminder. Eric usually sat by the pool and waited for her to come by. Since she couldn't talk, he would show her videos of the kids or he would feed her and talk to her.
Jax finally called after he had a sit down with Pope. Jax and Pope had come to a business agreement for the outside. Pope had other ideas for the Sons while they were inside. He wanted a dead Son in exchange for Jax's wife and for the damage that was to his guys. Jax's head was spinning now about his wife and how to get all of his men out of jail safely. Jax finally fessed up to Opie about what was happening and all that was going on with Clay.
The CO's made bets on who would walk away and who wouldn't. Jax made sure to get his scent and knew he would go after him once he got out of jail. It came down to finally time for Jax to pick and Opie offered himself. The guards made Jax, Chibs and Tig watch as Opie got beat to death. That's when Taylor felt Jax, it had felt like his humanity went off but he was still feeling rage.
Rage that the club had gotten so bad, rage that his best friend was now dead and rage that his wife was paying the price because of their doings. Taylor worried about what was happening on the inside. It was awful because she felt his pain and couldn't find out anything until she was in human form again. Jax hated that he was going home with his best friend now dead. It didn't seem real at all.
Taylor had gotten wind about what went down in jail. She hated knowing that Opie was gone. He was like a big brother to her and her kids loved him. Taylor thought the kids might help Jax just a little. So she got up, got her and her kids ready to go see Jax at the garage*
Taylor: Hey baby…*Taylor hugged him*...I'm so sorry baby…*She kissed his forehead as he let a few tears fall*
Abel: Hug daddy?...*Jax smiled and picked up his son*
Jax: I'm so sorry that you were stuck for a month.
Taylor: I was fine. Baby, don't worry. Do you need anything?
Jax: Think you can go see how Lyla is doing? I'll keep the boys and you take baby girl?...*Taylor kissed him and he sighed watching her walk off*...Skip school today?
Thomas: Hungry daddy.
Jax: Okay baby. Come on…*Taylor looked at sleeping Marianna as she knocked*
Lyla: It's open…*Taylor walked in and sat next to her on the couch*...She's adorable.
Taylor: Only because she is asleep…*They both smiled*...You doing okay? Do you need anything?
Lyla: Make it go away. Please. Taylor, it hurts so much…*Taylor sighed*
Taylor: Ask me that when the drugs leave your system…*Lyla nodded*...See you later, love…*Taylor carried the carseat and cried for Opie*
Taylor: I'm so sorry Opie…*Taylor drove back to the clubhouse and walked back to Jax. He smiled at her as he watched his boys sleep*
Jax: They needed a nap…*Taylor chuckled as she sat on his lap. He kissed her neck as she ran her fingers through his hair*
Juice: Hey, Jax…He's here…*Jax sighed and patted Taylor's thigh. She stood up and took the baby monitor as she went with him*
Skeeter: He's all dressed up. He looks good…*Jax sighed as he walked into see Opie. Taylor kissed Jax's back and rubbed his shoulders*
Bobby: Give Lyla a minute…*Taylor walked back to her kids and she walked back to Jax as they were putting Opie in the car. Taylor hugged him tightly and caressed his hair*
Taylor: Meet you at the house?...*Jax nodded and she kissed his cheek. Taylor got home and rocked Abel back to sleep after he wanted a little snack. Jax took the long way home as he needed to think. He got home and broke down in Taylor's arms. It did worry her that he was feeling the need to turn it off.
Jax was in a position where he couldn't run off in a ripper binge. That's what made him feel even more because he couldn't turn it off. He had to stay whole because of his club and because of his family. He had to stay whole because of his kids. No matter how bad he wanted to turn it off, he also wanted revenge for Opie*...I got you baby. Come on.
*Later on the night…Jax sighed as he couldn't sleep. He looked at Taylor and smiled seeing her being so peaceful. He kissed her, grabbed his cigarettes and walked out back to the pool. His ears perked up as he heard walking, he looked up as he lit it and saw Eric*
Jax: Get hungry?...*Eric smiled as he sat down*
Eric: Taylor, she loves those blood bags but they'll bore you to death…*Jax chuckled and he passed the box to Eric. Eric held his hand up slightly and shook his head no*...You holding up okay? Or as best as you can?
Jax: Sure.
Eric: You still want your family out?
Jax: Of course. Now that you're here…*Jax sighed and Eric raised an eyebrow as he saw the look in Jax's eyes*...I have this idea and I need you…Listen I know we have had our moments and…Eric, I need this to stay between you and me…*Eric sat up straight as he noticed Jax was more serious*
Eric: I'm all ears.
Jax: What if…What if I faked my death…*Eric shifted in his seat*...My wife doesn't need this and she is only staying because she loves me. My kids don't need this. Taylor wants all of us safe. I want my family and my club safe. I get enough money and then I'm gone.
Eric: And what happens when or if you do pull this off?...*Jax walked inside and Eric sighed when Jax walked back out. The last time he saw a folder like that, Taylor was telling him that it was her insurance plan*
Jax: This is all the money I own. Bank accounts. You take it and when the time is right…You tell Taylor. This has to be real. People have to know that I am dead.
Eric; Jax…She is your maker. She will be able to feel your death…*Jax looked at him*...So this fictional death is fake? You want me to tell her that I knew her husband, more than that…Her progeny left her behind? And I knew about it?...*Jax sighed as he took a hit of his cigarette*
Jax: What I am saying is…The people that know will know and Taylor can find out once her feet are back on Louisiana soil. I will come back for her. I have to finish up here and do this part. The kids will get in the school. Me and you will protect our family at all costs.
Eric: And if word gets out that you are alive and breathing?
Jax: We kill them…*Eric grinned*...Thank you…*Eric nodded and they shook hands. Taylor rolled over and felt for Jax. She sat up and walked to the window. She smiled when she saw them outside. Taylor got back in bed as Jax walked up*...I didn't wake you did I?
Taylor: No…Come here baby…*He pulled her close as they cuddled again*...I love you Jackson.
Jax: Mmm, I love you too baby…*It was later into the morning and Taylor just got done feeding the boys. She made Marianna a bottle and heard Randy walk in*
Taylor: Hey, how is she?
Randy: Bed rest. She said she was supposed to take the boys to school.
Taylor: No, no. I got it.
Randy: You…You have a visitor…*Taylor walked into the living room and saw Klaus holding Marianna. She swallowed hard and he smiled at her*
Taylor: Thank you.
Randy: Yeah, of course…*Taylor kissed her boys bye and she helped them to the car. Klaus took the bottle and fed Marianna. He sighed as he could feel and smell his daughter's attitude*
Klaus: You know I have a soft spot for the girls. She's a beauty…*Taylor crossed her arms*...I have something for you…*Taylor looked at the duffle bag. She walked over and put some muscle into picking it up. She looked back at her father as he was patting Marianna's back*...Open it…*Taylor opened it and gasped*
Taylor: What is this!?
Klaus: Shhh. She is asleep. Your sister is close to popping. Can't believe it. Both my girls are mothers. I wish your mother was here to see.
Taylor: Enough with the distractions. Why are you giving me a duffle bag full of viles? It's blood and I am guessing your blood.
Klaus: Insurance love. In case anyone ever needs it. Eric per say. Open the pocket…*She gasped as she was holding the white oak stake*
Taylor: Klaus!?
Klaus: Everything is fine.
Taylor: You said that y-
Klaus: I know. I am here to visit and nothing more.
Taylor: And Hope?
Klaus: Fighting but okay…*Taylor hugged her dad and cried*
Taylor: Daddy, please don't leave me…*Klaus sighed as he rubbed her head*
Klaus: I will be here until I am here no longer. You have my word little wolf…*They hung out and talked about the kids. Klaus called Kelly and included her in the conversation since she was on bed rest. Klaus was unbelievably proud of his girls and how strong they are. How much they have grown and grown with him. It broke him to his core that he had to think about other plans to keep his girls safe for after he was gone.
John and him ran mountains together when John had time. He made time for all of his kids as much as he could. Klaus wished Amber was here to help them through this. She was always better at these things. As nightfall came, Eric walked up and saw Taylor sitting at the table*
Eric: Love? What is all this?
Taylor: Dad came. Gave me an insurance plan. He's been stocking up blood since the last time I saw him. Kelly called and said he gave her a bag to…*Gemma knocked and walked in*
Gemma: Whoa? Taylor? Everything okay?
Taylor: I…I think my dad is gonna die…*Gemma looked in sorrow*...There is a bottle in the warmer if you want to feed Marianna…*Gemma nodded and walked up*
Eric: Love?...*Taylor sighed and Jax walked in*
Jax: The hell is this?
Eric: Klaus.
Jax: Oh baby. He left the stake with you?...*Jax sighed*
Eric: Gemma said a box came for you. Taylor?
Taylor: I have to put it in the basement…*Jax hugged Taylor*...How was your day? Distract me.
Jax: We uhh…We got revenge for Opie. Bobby and I have to head over to close the garage.
Taylor: Good…*Jax stared at her as he rubbed her thigh*...What?
Jax: Let's go to the cabin. All this…Let's just take some time. Adult time.
Taylor: What about the kids? Eric has to go back home for a little while.
Eric: I can stay love.
Taylor: No. Eric, you have done enough…*Jax sighed*
Jax: Gemma?...*Taylor sighed and nodded…Gemma agreed to have time with her grandkids. The more the better. Taylor kissed her kids as she left them with Kelly. Gemma was picking them up later. Jax had Tig follow Taylor to the cabin. Jax was finishing up some things and then meeting Taylor there.
Eric texted her and told her that if she needed anything then to text him. Taylor had been missing home like crazy all week. She didn't know if that was her gut talking or her wolf bones telling her to get the kids and run. Taylor was unpacking the blood bags when she felt her kids. She could feel Thomas panicking and Marianna was crying*
Taylor: TIG!
Tig: Yeah, darling!?
Taylor: You hear from Jax? I-I think something is wrong with the kids.
Tig: If something happened or has happened then we will know. Until then…Just try and relax…*Taylor sighed and walked back into the kitchen. Taylor smelled Jax and ran to him*
Jax: You okay?
Taylor: I felt the kids.
Jax: You think it was something serious? I felt the same thing.
Taylor: I don't know…*She sighed and bit her lip*
Jax: Breathe. Just take a breath…*Taylor nodded*...Go get some wine. Get in the mood…*She smiled*...We just have some things to discuss and then I am all yours.
Taylor: Okay baby…*They kissed and Taylor got a glass of wine. Taylor went to take a sip from her glass when her phone rang. She smiled when she saw it was Val*...Val, is Kelly in labor?
Valerie: Taylor…*Taylor slowly dropped her smile as she set her glass down*
Taylor: Val?
Valerie: You should get down to the hospital. I…The kids…*Taylor gasped and hung up*
Taylor: JAX!...*Jax looked at the house and Taylor vamp sped to him*...We have to go!
Jax Wha? Wait, baby. Baby, what happened!?
Taylor: Val called. The kids are at the hospital…*They all ran to their bikes and Jax sped off to the hospital. Taylor felt her kids and felt fear. She felt their fear and the fear of her being a mother took over. They ran inside and found Valerie*...Val!
Valerie: There was an accident…*Taylor covered her mouth and Jax held her hand*...Thomas is okay. Tara just got done checking on him. Nothing but a scratch. Abel…*Taylor looked at Jax*
Taylor: His heart!?...*Tara came around the corner*...YOU!
Jax: Hey, not now. Not now. Let's go see our kids…*Taylor cried as she walked off with Jax*
Thomas: MOMMY!...*Taylor ran to Thomas and held him*
Valerie: Marianna is fine as well. She was just fed and is sleeping…*Jax sighed in relief*
Jax: Thank you.
Taylor: If this was your mother…*Taylor made her eyes glow*
Jax: I know…*He kissed his son*...I am going to go talk to my mom…*Taylor nodded*...Hey…*Gemma smiled*...What happened? Were you drunk?
Clay: Van came up behind her. They ran her off the road just like they did you.
Jax: Did you see them mom? This is my fault.
Gemma: No, no, sweetheart, don't say that. It all happened so fast. You take care of business…*He kissed her cheek and walked off with the guys*
Valerie: I figure I would bring this little lady down.
Taylor: Thank you. Thank you so much for everything. I know I bit her head off but tell Tara I said thank you…*Val nodded…Kelly and Randy walked in*...Hey, Abel had surgery but he's okay. You shouldn't be here sister.
Kelly: Shut up. Val called and we had to come down.
Taylor: I haven't seen Gemma. Do you feel okay for me to go and talk to her?
Kelly: Yeah, of course…*Taylor walked up to Gemma and she was packing up her stuff*
Taylor: Hey, they're releasing you?
Gemma: Yeah, pretty soon…*Taylor smelled Gemma and got an off vibe from her*
Taylor: You okay? How are you feeling?
Gemma: Just a little sore. I'm okay.
Taylor: Jax called and told me what happened. That's awful…*Taylor hugged Gemma*...Thank you for keeping them safe…*Jax walked in and held Taylor by her waist. Taylor laid her head on his arm and rubbed his chest*
Jax: You doing okay mom?
Gemma: Where have you been?
Taylor: Out looking for the guy that did this to you…*She looked at her phone*...Kelly is having contractions…*Jax smiled and looked at his phone*...Meet you at the room…*They kissed*
Gemma: Can I see the kids?
Taylor: Yeah, come on…*They got back to the room and Randy walked off. Jax slowly walked back in the room. Taylor saw his eyes glow as she felt his anger*...Baby, what is it?
Jax: I got some new information…*Jax took Marianna from Gemma and she looked at Taylor. Taylor saw the daggers that Jax was giving his mother*...Are you going to tell her or do I have to say it?
Taylor: Tell me what?
Gemma: I love them so much…*Jax looked at Taylor and rubbed on Marianna as she was starting to wake*
Taylor: What happened?
Gemma: Nobody ran me off the road last night. When you called, I was making sure that Wayne was okay and I guess I smoked a little too much before I left. I thought I was okay to drive. I just…Didn't want to miss my chance with them…*Taylor punched Gemma and felt her eyes glow. Gemma was lucky that's all Taylor did because she wanted to drain Gemma dry for putting her children in harm's way*
Taylor: You're done! Don't call, don't come near or see my kids again!...*Taylor growls and Jax grabs her arm as he felt Taylor's growl from where he was standing. He knew that growl and it meant she was about to take her food and run with it*
Gemma: Taylor, pl-
Taylor: GET OUT!...*She said with a growl in her voice. Marianna started crying at the sound of her mothers voice and Thomas jumped out of his sleep*
Jax: I have to head back.
Taylor: Go baby. We'll see you at home…*Jax handed Marianna to her and kissed her*...Come on baby. Let's say bye to brother and go see Aunt Kelly. She had the baby.
Thomas: Baby?
Taylor: That's right…Hey, how you feeling?
Kelly: Tired.
Taylor: Boy or girl?
Randy: Boy.
Kelly: We decided on…Zane Christopher Orton…*Taylor smiled and Thomas yawned*...Go, get him home. How is Abel?
Taylor: He's okay. It was Gemma…*Kelly closed her eyes and Randy put his head down*
Randy: Let us know if you need anything.
Taylor: You too. I will get all the boy clothes for you…*Kelly smiled*
