Little Toy Bikers and a Woman on the Run

Chapter 283 Mother Love

"

Chibs was giving Jax a break from his bullet hunting. He'd covered the backside of Jax's body with a sheet to give him some modesty because he knew Gemma would waste no time going in to see her son.

"How are you doing, sweetheart?" Gemma asked.

"Definitely been better."

"I'm sure Chibs will have you feeling better in no time."

"Yeah."

Jax's confidence in Chibs' medical abilities was wavering. He understood the bullets were dangerous, but the greater threat to his life was blood loss and infection. A member of Tacoma had taken a bullet to the leg that led to an infection. He lost a leg and almost his life.

"Jax, I know you and your blonde friend are seeing each other, but this is very intense. It may be more she can handle. She's really not the MC type."

He stared at Gemma. Maybe the pain or thinking about the possibility of dying allowed him to see his mother more clearly than he ever had before. She was controlling, jealous and selfish.

"What do you mean by that?"

"She doesn't fit in this world. Maybe it would be best if I told her you were asleep and can't see her."

Jax's anger gave him a shot of strength.

"You don't tell me who fits in my world. You treat her with respect or there will be hell to pay."

"I only want what's best for you. You know that. She's kind of got this attitude that she's better than everyone. It's never going to work. I just don't want to see you hurt anymore."

"Maybe I should leave the MC. That would keep me from getting hurt."

Gemma stared at Jax.

"You know that's not how I meant that."

"No, you want to choose how I get hurt."

"She's just a pretty piece of ass."

"Scarlett's my old lady."

Jax had intended to give Gemma and the MC this news in a different way. He wasn't sure how he was going to tell everyone, but he definitely hadn't planned on telling Gemma like this.

"Since when?" Gemma gasped.

"It doesn't matter. I'll let my brothers know later after all this."

"Why didn't you tell me this sooner?"

"I don't have to tell you about every single thing going on in my life," Jax said impatiently.

"Well," Gemma said with frost in her voice, "I hope this isn't a repeat of the Wendy situation."

"And that's why I don't tell you things," Jax said sarcastically. "Here I am lying on a table with bullets in me and instead on showing me a little compassion all I get is judgement and jealousy over Scarlett. Just leave."

"Really, Jax, you don't know what you're saying. It's the blood loss and the injury. You'll see things differently when you feel better."

"Get out! I'd rather have Chibs probe my ass for bullets than hear anything you have to say. Just make sure I see Scarlett as soon as she gets here."

"If she comes," Gemma said maliciously.

"She'll be here," Jax said.

He wondered how he had never seen through his mother like this.
