Harley's evil eyes burned into Jax's. Tears threatened to spill but they both kept them in.
"Zobelle. He ordered a hit on your mother. I talked them in to taking me instead because I knew how much she means to this club and how much it would impact everyone. I knew how much it would hurt everyone if something like that happened to their queen!" She screamed with tears now running down her face. "I told him that I was next in line. That clay didn't have much time left and I would be around longer and they knew that. They knew that'd I'd be stepped up with you at head of the table when clay and Gemma are gone." Her head now hung low. Her body was trembling.
"Baby I'm so sorry" Jax stepped forward and went to cup her cheek and she smacked away his hand
"Don't touch me" she hissed. She turned on her heel and walked away. Her bike was still in the lot because no one had taken it home. She climbed on and started it and peeled out of the lot. She sped to Gemma's as quick as she could and she knew Jax was going to follow her. She soon pulled into Gemma's and stormed through the door. Gemma and clay were sitting in kitchen playing with Abel.
"Jax will be here any minute Gem. I slipped up and told everyone." She spoke frantically. She was white as a sheet. Gemma immediately knew what she meant and clay looked f the two in confusion. Then Harley heard Jax's bike pull into the driveway. Harley froze and her eyes went wide knowing that Jax was going to tell clay and then they would definitely retaliate.
The door burst open
"Why the hell didn't you tell me?" Jax spat at her
"You dont think I deserve to know someone else been in my old lady's pussy?" Jax hissed at her and Harley felt a sharp pang in her chest.
"Jackson don't you speak to her like that!" Gemma said handing Abel to clay before stepping up beside Harley.
"And you! How could you just sit there and watch my old lady get raped to save your ass?!" Jax screamed in her face
"Woah woah woah what the hell are you taking about?" Clay got up and walked towards the three still holding baby Abel. He handed the child off the Harley and Harley's anger had now calmed down enough she just wanted to hold her son and sit down.
"Our old ladies here were attacked and no one bothered to tell us!" Jax roared across the house and Abel began to cry
"Don't yell in front of him like that Jackson" Harley said softly trying to get him to call down
"Quit acting like he's yours Harley! Face it! He's not no matter how much you want him to be!" Jax's face was red from boiling anger. He was seething. Of course he didn't mean any of the thingfs he was sayin g they were just coming out of his mouth because he was angry. Harley was taken aback by these words. Her heart broke.
"If that's how you feel then I'll go and take your other child with me" she spat before handing Abel to Gemma. Everyone looked at her in shock. She stormed straight out the door, got on her bike, and headed towards the house she shared with Jax. When she arrived the got off her bike went straight in the house and grabbed her things. Just as she was leaving Jax stopped her at the door.
"We need to talk" he said sternly.
"There's obviously nothing that needs to be said you already went and said it" she cocked
"Just let me talk to you." He looked at her.
"No." She said before he picked her up and flung her over his shoulder cause her to drop her things on the floor. He took her to the bedroom and flipped her down on the bed and sat in front of the door so she couldn't leave. She let out a heavy sigh and looked at him. The sight of her red puffy eyes and tear stained cheeks broke his heart.
"What do you want jax?" She admitted defeat
"I didn't mean to say that about Abel. I was just so angry. I didn't mean it." He intertwined his grinders together and rested his elbows on his knees as his head was leaned back against the door.
"Ok whatever" she just looked at him
"Back at ma's what you said. My other child. You pregnant?" He asked her
"Yeah. Found out after the accident I was about three weeks along." She dropped her head
"I'm sorry that happened to you. If I knew I wouldn't have slept with her. I thought you were just putting distance between us. I didn't like it. I did something selfish and I regret it babe." He said as he got up to sit beside her. Her watched her sniffle and wipe her eyes. "I hope I cracked that bitches skull" Harley giggled
"Enough about the whore. You're seriously pregnant?" He asked her
"Yeah. I knew that you guys were gonna want to retaliate due to the car explosion and i came by to try and talk everyone out of it. Know that the cat is out of the bag I guess I have no luck with that" she purses her lips as she twiddled her fingers
"We definitely have to retaliate now har. You know that" he looked at her with sorrow.
"Please be smart about it. I don't like this idea. He's expecting you to retaliate. He knows it's coming"s she intertwined her fingers with Jax's.
"I know but clay will want to go in blind and reckless. I'll try to talk everyone into a smart plan ok darling?" He told her
"I'm sorry that I punched you" she laid her head down on his shoulder.
"I deserved it. Big time." He kisses her head
"I hope it's another boy" Jax told her
"Yeah me too." She sighed
"But lets get one thing clear teller. I find out you're sleeping with anyone else again I'll be bashing your head into a mirror." She stuck her finger in his face.
"Im such an idiot. Im realsorry babe"
"Now why didn't you tel me about the accident." He looked at her sincere
"You and the club have enough stuff going on right now. I didn't want to be in the middle of it with my problems..."
