Jax walked into his house to find Harley sitting in the floor of Abel's room smoking a cigarette.
"Why aren't you at the fight?" She asked.
"Had my fair share for today." He said
"Yeah. Your leg ok?" She asked him as he walked over to the crib
"Where's the doctor?" She asked with her head down
"I don't know" he said
"Where you going with that? You gonna screw me then her. Is it gonna be a repeat cycle?" She asked him. Tears welling up in her eyes.
"No harley it isn't like that." He said
"I'm going to bed jackson." She said as she got up out the floor and went to his room. She put on her pajamas this time and walked towards the couch.
"What are you doing?" He asked her
"Sleeping on the couch. If that's ok with you? If not I can get my Shut go to the clubhouse or go get a motel somewhere." She said looking at him
"Why aren't you gonna sleep in my bed with me?" He asked a little hurt
"Doesn't feel right at the moment." She mumbled. Gathering pillows and blankets she went to sit down on the couch and she felt Jax scoop her up.
"You're not sleeping alone." He said softly
"Jax don't do this." She said trying to free herself from his grasp.
"I don't care. You're not sleeping alone." He said. Gently placing her on the bed, kissing her forehead and putting the blanket over her small frame he turned the lights off. She could hear the sound of him rummaging through his drawers to find something. Then she felt the bed dip and Jax crawled under the blanket beside her. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close. She shed a single tear that hit his bare chest. He held her tighter.
Meanwhile at the fight. Clay showed up at the fight.
He talked to cherry about declining Bobby's ask for comfort. She told him she wasn't about that. Clay told cherry he didn't mind if cherry stuck around for halfsack. Halfsack saw cherry hug him and he beat the shit out of the guy he was supposed to lose to.
Chibs told sack he owed the club 35k
"Go on get outta here before I rape both of ya." Tig said
Cherry and half sack just looked at him
"Hey now." Bobby said
"What it's just an expression" Tig said
Jax got up out the bed and went for a smoke. Harley heard the all too familiar sound of the cutless pull up. She got her clothes on. Grabbed her gun and began to watch through the window.
"Jesus are you ok? Hale told me what happened." Tara said rushing towards Jax
"He's fine Doc." Harley said stepping out of the door.
"Jesus christ Harley put the gun away." He said
Tara looked between the two
"I thought this was over Jax. You and her." She pointed at tara with her gun. "You told me no more." Harley said
"Listen harley I just stopped by to see if he was ok." Tara stuttered
"Leave." Harley demanded. She stepped forward putting her hand on Jax's back.
"Ok uh I'm sorry." She said as she scurried back to her car and pulled out
"You didn't have to scare the shit out of her you know." He told her
"I could've beat the shit out of her." She said as she turned around and walked back inside.
She put her gun on the table and walked back to their room. Taking her clothes off she got back into bed and fell asleep. Jax went to Abel's room and fell asleep in the rocking chair.
The next morning Harley woke up. Got dressed and saw Jax in the rocking chair still asleep. She decided to make him breakfast. She made a whole big meal and when it does she went and woke him.
"Holy shit Harley this is amazing." He said with a mouth full of food
"Thanks honey." She said cleaning up the kitchen
"Aren't you gonna sit down and eat?" He said
"Not right now I'm not really hungry." She said as she pulled her hair up in a pony tail and began to wash the dishes
"I'm gonna go get cleaned up then I'm gonna go see Abel" she told Jax
"Don't kill tara." He said blankly to her
"Shut the fuck up." She said as she walked into the bathroom. He heard water turn on and he sat there. He finished his breakfast and thought about everything going on. He wanted to protect tara but he wanted to protect Harley too. They were pulling him opposite directions.
Discussing the money hey had to come up with at the clubhouse Jax was beaming. He was in a great mood.
"There's only one place left to go." Clay said
"The porn queen"
"Have Gemma y'all to her. They're tight. Keep us clear of it." Jax said
"Makes sense" clay responded
"I'll talk to ma. I'm going to the st Thomas anyway. Kid gets out of the toaster today." Jax said
"You finally get to hold your son" one them said. They began to cheer.
