_Sage_


"I guess it's time to start telling the full truth." My dad uttered those words quit quietly. I didn't know what to think, what is he about to say? My mind made up a million scenarios of what he could possibly say.

I could feel the room tense up, my mom especially. He stood there, arms crossed as he looked deep in thought. I gulped and waited for my dad to start talking.

He sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Gabriel has always been after Sage.." the room filled with gasps, I felt a chill run down my spine.

"What do you mean?" Mom asked.

"Look...I told you, I witnessed many horrific things in life. Me and my guys got caught up in a little trouble when the twins were little...maybe 4 or 5. Gabriel and his men approached me, he tried making a deal, but I of course didn't take it. He wanted my son, and I wasn't about to let that happen. Didn't give a shit how much he offered me, I told him to fuck off and then I didn't see him for a few more months. He asked me again, tried making multiple deals. He knew Sage was special and would be able to carry children one day, that's why he wanted him. It went on for years, until..." he trailed off at the end. The room was quiet.

"Until what?" Mom asked.

Dad but his lip before continuing on. "Until he threatened to um, take you guys away from me. And I would give my life up for you three, so to keep you guys safe, we made a compromise." Moms lip trembled.

"Jax....what was the compromise?" He asked in a worried tone, Dad lowered his head.

"Jax, what the hell did you agree to?!" Mom's voice grew louder, he sounded hurt.

"I agreed to give you guys up, I couldn't let him kill you guys. And I wasn't going to hide you's away from the world, you deserve to live your lives." He said, mom gasped as he held his chest.

"Scarlett..." mom quietly mumbled.

"I could never cheat on you. Our life together was absolutely perfect, you know where I came from and what I've had to go through. But you were always there for me, my love for you never faded even for a second, I hated lying to you. Hated not being able to tell the truth, that women made me miserable. Hell we weren't even together half the time, and Gabriel wanted to get her away from him so he threw her into my arms. But there was nothing I could do, I had to protect you guys." He said. I could see the single tear in his eye, so desperate to fall and let out the sobs and heartache he's been holding onto. But he didn't, and it was because of us.

Mom was crying as he held his face in his hands. "No, no, no..... Jax please, why didn't you just tell me? We could've figured it out, together!" Mom was a crying mess.

"No we couldn't of. You would've intervened and put yourself in danger, I wasn't about to let that happen!" Dad loudly said.

I quickly wiped the tears that fell down my cheeks, I looked over to see Silvia also tearing up.

"Jax....you let me shout, and fight, and argue with you this whole time. Why?" Mom asked through soaked lashes, Jax sighed and took a step towards him.

"Because I love you, and I know you were just hurt and didn't mean anything you said. It was hard even for me. You're the love of my life... and I hated pushing you away, but if it meant keeping you guys safe.... I'd do it again. You three will always come first, it's been this way since we first met. Since you first told me you were pregnant, as they grew inside of you, and when they were born, they're first words, they're first steps, first day of school, first boyfriends, they're whole lives I will always put you three first. It doesn't matter how or feel or what I think. There was no way I was going to risk it, I couldn't." We're all basically sobbing at this point. Mateo held me and wiped away my tears as he silently sat next to me.
