Tribulation | Jax Teller

Photographs

Noelle wakes to Jax running his fingers through her blonde hair, no doubt making it even more of a mess. She stretches her body as she cracks all her kinks before she burrows back into her husband for his warmth. His fingers still and he wraps his arm around her as he presses a kiss to her head. Noelle smiles as she responds by placing a kiss on his chest. She was worried about him since she hadn't seen him once he left with Hale to head to the station after he had thrown Kohn through a plate glass window.

She moves her hand over his left leg where she can feel a bandage and a couple stitches. "How's the leg?"

"I'll live." He tells her.

She fights the urge to pitch and smack him.

"You scared the shit out of me, Jax." She expresses him as she was worried her husband was going to get carted away for killing a Fed. She didn't know how she was going to explain that one to the kids.

"I'm sorry, babe," he says and presses a kiss to her head again. "He shouldn't be a problem though. I watched him leave town. Told Tara too?"

Noelle leans up off Jax at that. "You talked to Tara?" She says slowly.

Jax nods his head as he leans up on his forearms. "You were right."

Noelle fights the urge to mock the words: I told ya so.

Instead, she bites the childish need to gloat. "And what did she have to say about it?"

"She admitted to that he was one of the reasons she came back to Charming."

Noelle raises an eyebrow at that. "And what were those other reasons?"

Jax shrugs his shoulders. "Don't matter anyway."

"I don't want her around the kids or even involved in with AJ's medical stuff." She tells Jax.

"If that's what you want," Jax says as he lays back down and flexes his leg a little, which causes him to hiss.

"You need something for the pain?" Noelle asks as she throws the blanket off his leg completely and gets a good look at his injury. Jax is surprised how much a dainty pair of scissors could do.

"Actually, I do know of a certain pain reliever that will make me feel better," Jax says cheekily.

Noelle laughs at him while his hands begin pulling up her nightie without any resistance. "You just never quit do you?"

Jax flashes a wolfish grin at her in response as he manages to pull the satin dress off his wife's body with no objection and she straddles his waist.

...

Jax walks into the kitchen with a towel wrapped around his waist and finds Lena at the kitchen table eating a very big bowl of cereal. He's curious where his sister in law in putting it as she is a thin little thing.

"Bowl big enough?" He questions as he grabs a pair of jeans out of the laundry room connected to the kitchen.

"No, not really." Lena replies before she begins to drink very loudly the milk out of the bowl, which is actually a mixing bowl. Jax only wonders how expensive Lena's grocery bill is.

"You okay after yesterday?" Jax asks his sister in law. He knows that Lena has a scrappy past, but she never had to face the law.

"Shouldn't I be asking you that?"

"I've had worse." He tells her with a shrug on his shoulders. He didn't have any regrets for throwing Kohn through the window. The guy made a bad career move going after his family.
