Someone like you, and all you know, and how you speak
Countless lovers under cover of the street
You know that I could use somebody
Kings of Leon – Use Somebody
Everything was pure mayhem by the time he arrived. He had gotten a call from Happy. "Yo where's our girl?" Kozik had just arrived with Delilah and Trish. The prospect was outside Tara's room with Juice. Gemma was inside hovering over Tara. The rest of the club must have been in church. Barging through the door Kozik noticed how stressed Tara looked. "T" "Kozzie" Tara couldn't keep her emotions under control the tears began rolling down her cheeks as he hugged her close. Gemma had already begun telling the other two old ladies exactly what had happened.
"Oh Tara we're sorry about what had happened. The bitch will pay." Trish moved Kozik out of the way hugging the younger girl.
"That kid got Teller blood babe. He's a fighter." Delilah assured her as she took the position Trish had just been in.
"I know….I know…I just can't believe this happened." Tara sobbed as she looked at the small picture of her son, Abel. Everything was just so overwhelming she hadn't seen Jax since they found out about Wendy. She knew he blamed himself. Gemma and him had made her come back to Charming, didn't even factor Wendy in. Her sole worry was Josh. If Wendy could do this, what was Josh capable of? She couldn't think like that not now, not while her baby was so sick.
"Hey honey, you and that boy are so strong. Wendy or nobody else is going to ever hurt you again." Gemma hugged her close as the other watched one of the strongest women they knew have a breakdown.

"Hey Jax, I heard you're a dad." Louise the local sails assistant smiled. Jax smiled a little thinking of his son but his thoughts soon changed back to what Wendy had done. Wendy the name tasted stall in his mouth. He couldn't face Tara not till they knew their boy was going to be ok. This was his fault, his crazy ex did this. All this time worrying about that crazy ATF pricfk and it was Wendy done the damage to his family.
"Abel, it was a boy. A Pack of smokes too Darling." Jax said as he picked up some gum looking at the kids book Louise had put into the bag. "What the hell is that?" "Ah shit" If his week hadn't been going bad enough the warehouse was on fire, fucking hell. Jax had been thinking of what to do about Wendy. He didn't really want woman's blood on his hands, that's shot he and the club didn't do. He knew he had a lot to do with her being so screwed up. Fuck it had always been Tara but Wendy had always known that.
"Fucking Mayans man." Tig said as they looked around and at what was left of their warehouse. Seriously Tig,
"Two to the back of the head." Jax looked at Clay as if things could be that simple. Charming was anything but its name.
"it ain't easy being king." Jax said simply. He knew he had a while to wait before Clay retired and shit he was excited about it. Now with Tara and now his son who he can only hope will survive, he has to change things for them all.

Sometimes you're the Beemer sometimes you're the god damn dear." Jax looked on at the scene in front of him, today he felt like both. He had a son but Tara and his son were laid up in hospital.
"Aye Jackie have you been to see the wee one and the lass?" Chibs asked as the prospect tried to cut the dear head from the car.
"I'm heading up there soon but with all this shit it's been hard getting there. Gemma is up…..speaking of ma" Jax said as his phone began to ring.
"Hey baby, you get to sleep yet?" Jax knew Gemma was feeling this as much as him. It brought back memories of his brother for them both.
"I got a few but how's my family ma?" Jax asked inching himself away from Chibs.
"They're ok baby. Our girl is putting on a brave face but you know Tara once she understands what's happening she's good. Abel is still in the toaster but he's getting stronger baby." Gemma heard the sigh of relief from her son. She was relieved too. Golden boy Hale had her room under lock and key. It didn't stop him with calling to Tara three times a day. "We'll have a family dinner tomorrow, I'll get steak?"
"Ma….Tara." Before he could finish. "Tara is fine with it. I've already spoken to her. So you get up to St. Thomas baby, they need you."
"We looked over where Wendy was staying found some matches looks like she got the crank from the hairy dog." Jax felt his anger surface as Juice stated every word.
"You go watch him" Clay warned as Bobby and Chibs followed him. Beating Darby's guy felt good all his anger he had for everything since the accident just seemed to flow out onto that guy. He thought of how much hurting Tara was going through because of his past mistakes. He never for one second thought Wendy was that crazy.
"How you holding up brother?" Op said as he walked towards Jax with Sonna. Jax was outside looking at his son in the toaster. He had Tara and his blood running through his veins the kid was a fighter.
"I'm good Op. Just looking at the kid you know. He doesn't even look real." He was so small Jax was amazed every time he saw him. How his little heart could even get the family flaw.
"They all look breakable when the first come out. Wait until you hold him, I was so scared holding Ellie. Donna it just came so natural and I was like a fish out of water for a few days. Jax you'll be a good father, Tara isn't going to let that happen." Jax chuckled lightly at his best friends words.
"I know you're trying to be straight but we need you for this job at the weekend." Jax got back into business before he had to go see Tara.

"Hey babe" Jax said walking into Tara's room. She looked a lot better than she had done. She had her head in some medical journal and that made Jax smile. Tara Knowles always had her head in a book.
"Jackson I thought you had club business. Gemma said things were crazy at the club." Tara put the book onto the locker. Jax placed the flowers he had brought on it too before kissing Tara's lips gently.
"I'm sorry I haven't been around babe. Gemma was right things are crazy with the Mayans. You know I want to be here for you and Abel right?" Jax lifted her hand to his lips.
"Well I'll be coming home in the morning." Tara smiled. It was bittersweet for her she was able to go home but her baby wasn't.
"Family dinner tomorrow." Jax should of known Gemma was up to something to have a family dinner on a crazy week at the club.
"I asked her not to say anything. I wanted to surprise you. Abel will be going for his heart operation in the morning but everything is looking really good for it." Tara had been going over every step with doctors today and she was fully behind the whole thing.
"Abels a fighter just like his parents. It'll be good to have you home. I know it's only been a few days but I was just getting used to having you back." Jax kicked off his shoes, placed his kutte on the chair and crawled onto the bed with Tara. Having her in his arms is how things are supposed to be.
