As the first rays of sunlight peeked through the curtains, Jax found himself in the nursery, gently swaying in the rocking chair. His eyes were fixed on his slumbering son, Abel, while silent tears streamed down his cheeks. The weight of the unknown loomed over him, knowing that whatever awaited him today would ultimately lead to his imprisonment.

Although he took solace in the fact that his son would be cared for during his absence, a bitter taste lingered in the depths of his stomach. Tara, the woman who claimed to be Abel's mother, would not be by his side. The sleepless night had plagued Jax's mind, replaying the events of the past weeks like a broken record.

Every time he dared to close his eyes, he would jolt awake, haunted by the same thought. Tara had failed to protect Abel, but a stranger, someone who had no connection to the child, had sacrificed her own life for him. Perhaps it was guilt that gnawed at him, or maybe it was the realization that Lilith, in her selfless act of surrendering herself to Jimmy, had earned Jax's love and respect. If only she were alive to receive it.

Jax strolled into the clubhouse, his son in his arms, ready to kickstart the day with a hearty breakfast surrounded by his beloved family. The atmosphere was electric, with his club brothers beaming with joy as they welcomed baby Teller home. Jax's heart swelled with pride as his best friend made a grand announcement - he had proposed to Layla, and she had gleefully accepted. The room erupted with cheers and jubilation, the worries of the outside world momentarily forgotten. Jax couldn't help but beam at Opie, giving him a firm pat on the back to celebrate his happiness. Despite his own love life being a shit show, Jax genuinely felt a surge of joy for his friend. However, just as his smile reached its peak, a familiar voice cut through the crowd, causing his expression to falter. It was Chib's, calling out over the buzzing excitement.

Hey, Hey...I know this is a celebration and I'm happy for you guys." Chibs tipped his bottle of beer to Opie and Layla, Jax could see the red rings around his eyes, His brother had been consumed by guilt and grief since returning to Charming. Jax came to stand next to Chibs with Abel still in his arms, he put a supportive hand on Chibs's shoulder and gave him a nod to continue.

"I'm also glad that this wee fella is safe in his father's arms. But I would like my brothers to raise a glass for my girl Lilly, I know we were all too late in meeting her...but I know wherever she may be she will always be part of this family." He raised his glass in the air and everyone followed suit.

"To our Lillith, god bless you, may you always fly free."

"To Lilith, god bless you, may you always fly free." The whole room repeated. The room fell silent. Suddenly Abel's babbling could be heard loudly.

"Lil.Lil" He babbled as he clapped his little hands and waved them in the air.

Gemma smiled as she walked up and took Abel from Jax. "Yes that's right Lil, Lil, was she your friend Sweetheart?" Gemma cooed, as Jax and Chibs gave each other a hug with unushered tears in their eyes.
