Tig slipped away while Charles was talking. He wanted to check on Bridgette. He walked down the hall and stopped in front of the only door that was closed. He took in a deep breath and let it out as he gently rapped his knuckles on the door before he opened it. He slipped in, shut the door and walked over to the bed where Bridgette was sat with her eyes closed. He sat down next to her and wrapped an arm gently around her shoulders as he pulled her into his side. "You know that Happy is a possessive bastard, Princess, and when it comes to you he was ever worse. I also know that he wasn't sleeping with as many women as he let you think that he was."

Bridgette's eyes flew open and she looked at Tig with wide eyes. "What do you mean?"

Tig chuckled and shook his head. "That man was head over heels for you six years ago, Bridgette, and he's head over heels for you now. He never stopped loving you even when he thought that you cheated on him with a Son. Happy loves deeply and once he loves someone he isn't going to do anything that will hurt them. He knew that he should have let you know that he wasn't fucking other women when he was on the road, but he also didn't want to see you use that against him like, so many other Old Lady's have with their men. He didn't want to admit it to you let alone himself that you had him completely pussy whipped."

He sighed and used his hand to rub down his face. "I'm sorry that you got caught in the middle of everything, but I couldn't let Clay hurt my daughters. At that point Jax wasn't in a position to do anything to stop Clay. If I had known that J.T. was alive I could have and would have went to him about what Clay was doing. If I had known that you were pregnant I would have talked to you and we could have come up with something because I NEVER wanted, you to know the kind of pain losing a child puts you through. I'm so sorry, Princess, so fucking sorry."

Bridgette swiped at the tears that were suddenly falling down her face before he threw herself into Tig's lap. She buried her head in his chest as she let her tears fall unchecked. She cuddled into him when he wrapped his arms around her in a tight embrace. "We can't change the past no matter how much we want to, Alex. If you want to make it up to me then when it comes time for Clay to do you will make sure that he dies in the most painful way possible. If you want to make it up to me then you will be there for my son, daughter, and the three kids I'm currently carrying. You will be the BEST uncle that you can be to Calista and Caden and when the babies I'm pregnant with you will be the BEST Godfather that you can be to whichever kid I make you Godfather of. Am I understood, Alex?"

Tig swallowed the lump in his throat and kissed Bridgette on the top of her head. "I'll do whatever you need and/or want me to do, Princess, and that includes kicking Happy's ass for the comments he made earlier. You don't need to be stressed with being pregnant with triplets. Does Koz treat you and your kids, right?"

Bridgette chuckled. "He spoils Calista and Caden rotten. He will be one of the Godfather's of the three I'm carrying now. He loves Calista, Caden, and me something fierce and I love him just as fiercely. He really did help me through the rough patch I hit because I was ready to just give up. He held me many nights when I thought that I would die from the heartbreak I was feeling. He let me scream, shout, and throw things at him when the anger I was feeling became too much."

She snorted. "When I was pregnant he was right there beside me for every single appointment. He put up with my mood swings and never once yelled at me for something I did or said during them. He held my hair back when I had morning sickness. He was in the delivery room with me when I gave birth. He was there for three A.M. feedings and diaper changes. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better partner through that pregnancy."

Tig smirked. "How do you think Lorca will measure up?"

Bridgette grinned. "I have no doubt that him, Koz, Jax, and you will all be duking it out as to who gets to help me out the most. I have a feeling that the doctor appointments I have to go to are going to be a blast because so many of you will end up showing up at them. I have no doubt that Lorca will be a wonderful father which is why Trinity wants him as the father of her babies when she decides to have them. Well that and because Trinity thinks that he is hot and would be a good lay."

Tig burst out laughing. "Oh, fuck don't let Jax hear that."

A voice from the doorway asked, "Don't let Jax hear what?"

Bridgette looked up and smirked at Jax. "I was telling Alex that Trinity wants Lorca to be the father of her babies."

Jax raised an eyebrow. "I knew that because of the comment she made earlier. Are you two alright?"

Bridgette smiled softly. "I'm fine, Big Brother. I just needed a few minutes alone and Alex came to check on me and talk. We're good."

Jax nodded as he walked further into the bedroom and shut the door. He stood looking at Tig who was lightly running his hand up and down Bridgette's back. "Tig, I understand why you did what you did. I also understand that at that point I wasn't in a position to challenge Clay. What I need to know now is that if you are going to be able to help us deal with Clay once and for all."

Tig looked up at Jax with hard eyes. "I'm more than willing to help you end Clay's life, Jax. He deserves everything he's going to get and then some. It's time for him to stop ruining lives."

"I couldn't agree more. You two take as much time as you need before coming back out. Ma is cooking lunch with Paul's, Bobby's, and Trinity's help so you have a little bit before you need to come out. I'll keep everyone else away for now." Jax murmured. He could tell that Bridgette and Tig still needed some time to compose themselves.

Bridgette sighed in relief. "Thanks, Jax." She watched him leave before she looked back at Tig. "What are you thinking about, Alex?"

Tig sighed. "I'm thinking about the fact that you and Happy lost six years with one another. I hate that I hurt both you and him even though I had no choice but to do it."

Bridgette shook her head. "I hate what the result was, Alex, but I think that Happy and I honestly needed those six years apart. He needed to learn to appreciate me and I needed to learn just who I was and what I'm capable of. I hate the fact that I lost our son and I miss him every single fucking day. I missed Happy every single fucking day, but I learned that I could survive without him. I learned that I could live without him and actually be happy."

She sighed as she ran a hand through her hair. "I loved Happy with everything that I had in me. I had no respect for myself back then. If I had respect for myself I wouldn't have been alright with him fucking other women. As much as losing my son and Happy killed me I learned to respect myself. I learned that I didn't have to stand back and just take the fact that my man was fucking other women like it didn't matter. It doesn't matter how much you may love someone, Alex, if you can just let the important shit slide without a fight."

She gave a watery chuckle. "If and I do mean IF I ever get back with Happy you can bet that he will need to accept a lot of rules. I will no LONGER be a docile woman who thinks she needs to let her man get away with whatever he wants. I won't let a man ever treat me the way Happy did without telling him where he can go and how fast he can go. I deserve better than a man who doesn't realize that just because he is on a run and fucking another woman that it is cheating on the woman he's with."

Tig kissed Bridgette on the forehead. "I have faith that you will make Happy learn the error of his ways. I'll kick his ass for you if you'd like me to. You do deserve better than a man fucking another woman whether it be on a run or in the same town as you. You have more than just you to think about. You need to do what is right for you and for your children. You want to tell me what you have refused to tell everyone else about Tara?"

Bridgette paled. "I don't know what you're talking about, Alex."

Tig shook his head and looked at Bridgette with narrowed eyes. "You can lie to everyone else out there, but you can't lie to me, Bridgette. What else do you know about Tara that you are refusing to tell everyone else?"

Bridgette swallowed hard and then blurted, "I found out a month ago that it was Tara who drove the car that caused me to lose my son. She bailed from the car before the police and EMTs got there so that she wouldn't be caught. She apparently was Clay's backup plan to make sure that I would leave Happy. She later disguised herself as a Nurse at the hospital I was taken to and gave me a shot that caused me to go into early labor and made me lose my son."

Tig's eyes flashed in anger. He gently moved Bridgette off his lap and onto the bed before falling back onto the bed. He saw a gun sticking out from under a pillow and grabbed it before he jumped up. "Stay here, Bridgette."

He quickly walked out of the room all the while making sure the safety on the gun was off and out of plain sight of the others. He walked into the kitchen and over to where Tara was still laying on the floor. He cocked the gun and without thought or remorse shot Tara in the leg. He made sure that he didn't hit anything vital because he didn't want the bitch to bleed out and die too quickly.

He wasn't really surprised when he Bridgette ran in and shouted, "Alex, no!"

He turned to look at Bridgette with flashing eyes. "She deserves more than what I just did, Princess. That bitch killed your son. She deserves all the fucking pain that I'm going to eventually cause her. I made sure I didn't shoot her somewhere where she would bleed out, but she deserves the pain she is feeling right now! She could have killed you, Bridgette! She was probably hoping to kill you."

Bridgette smiled softly and walked over to Tig. She ignored the looks everyone was giving them, and she dodged several hands that made a grab for her. She gently took the gun out of Tig's hand and handed it off to Lorca who had stepped up beside her. "I'm right here, Alex. I'm alive and I'm a better person because of my experience. You can't let her win by dragging you down to her level. Yes, she deserves everything that she is no doubt going to go through, but it won't be at your hands this time."

Tig took in a deep breath and let it out. He swept Bridgette into his arms and held her as she started crying. "It's alright, Princess. I promise you that you won't ever have to go through something like that again. I'll kill any mother fucker who dares to even try to hurt you. You need to calm down, Princess. Come on take a deep breath in and let it out."

Lorca looked at Tig and Bridgette with narrowed eyes as he handed the gun off to Jax. "What in the hell is going on?"

Tig looked at Lorca over Bridgette's head with hard eyes. "It was Tara who was driving the car that hit Bridgette six years ago. After Bridgette was taken to the hospital the stupid cunt disguised herself as a nurse and gave Bridgette a shot of something that caused her to go into early labor and made sure that she killed Bridgette's son."

Charles looked at Tig with cold eyes. "How do you know this?"

Tig nodded his head down at Bridgette. "She found out a month ago somehow."

Charles swore and turned to glare down at Tara who was even paler than before. He noticed that someone had bandaged her leg up and was happy because it meant that the stupid bitch would live for several more hours. "You picked the wrong person to fuck with, you, stupid whore. You caused my sister to lose my nephew, my father to lose his first grandson, Jax to lose his nephew, and Happy to lose his son. Be happy that I didn't know this before now because if I had you wouldn't be breathing right now."

Tara's eyes flashed with hate. "You can't kill me! Jax, please if you just let me explain you will understand that I'm innocent in all this."

Jax shook his head. He was angrier than he could ever recall being. "You messed with my family, Tara. It doesn't matter if I didn't know that Bridgette was my sister back then. You signed your own death warrant and right now it's just a question as who gets to end your fucking life. Just so you know, I know that you have fucking around on me. I didn't say or do anything about it because it didn't matter to me. I have someone else who will be a way better mother to my son than you could have ever been. I'm done with you and I should have told you that a long ass time ago."

Tara's eyes widened in shock. "You can't leave me, Jax! Everything I have ever done has been for us and our family! I love you, Jax!"

Jax snorted and turned his back on Tara. He smiled slightly when he saw both Happy and Tig comforting Bridgette. "Get her back to her bedroom for a while. She needs to decompress."

Happy and Tig both nodded, but it was Happy who lifted Bridgette into his arms and followed Tig out of the kitchen and to Bridgette's bedroom.

Once in the bedroom Happy laid Bridgette in the middle of the bed before he toed off his shoes and climbed in beside her. He nodded at Tig to take her other side. He didn't say anything as he and Tig both held Bridgette as she cried her heart out. He fought back his own tears because right then he only wanted to get the woman he still loved calmed down. He wasn't surprised when he noticed that Bridgette had fallen into an exhausted sleep. He followed right behind her and knew subconsciously that Tig had fallen asleep too.
