Earning His Princess

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

A little later, we walk into the clubhouse and I walk over to Gemma while he walks over to Clay. "Can I get a minute?" he asks and Clay nods before they both go into the chapel. "What's on your mind son?" Clay asks. "I need your input on something. I'm kind of at a loss here." Jax says. "What is it?" Clay asks. "Tara is one of Abel's doctors. Eva went to see Abel and Tara started feeding her this shit that she might be my wife but she would never be my Old Lady because she would never be able to get my crow." Jax says. "Why can't she?" Clay asks. "Apparently Tara still has the one that I gave her when we were together." Jax says. "Fuck. What are you going to do?" Clay asks. "What would you do?" Jax asks. "If it were me, I would take the bitch out of the equation." Clay says and Jax just looks at him. "Look, I know you loved her and all but you're married and the more you leave that bitch with your mark, the more she's going to doubt shit and let me tell you, if she's doubting shit and your mom finds out, she's going to kick your ass. She loves that girl out there like her own kid." he tells Jax. "What I suggest son, is that you take her out of the equation and you have your wife there when you do it and then you slap your crow on her the minute you're done." Clay says. "Yeah...okay. We need to get the guys together." Jax says and Clay nods.

Jax walks to the door and calls "Church." I look over at the doors when he says this and see everyone heading to the chapel. He steps out and I meet him halfway. "Stay with mom until I come out." he tells me. "Okay." I say softly. Kissing my lips softly he says "I love you." I whisper "I love you." He walks back into the chapel and when everyone is in their seats, Clay speaks. "Our VP here has come to me with a problem that I think we need to take a vote on and we need to get some other input on." Clay says. They all look at Jax and he starts telling them what's going on.

Out at the bar, I am sitting facing the bar and Gemma is next to me. "It's going to be okay baby." she tells me. "I hope so. I don't want to lose him Gemma." I tell her. "You won't baby." she tells me and I just nod my head and look down at my coffee. All of a sudden, I feel arms wrap around me and I know it's Jax. I lean back into him and feel the tears building up in my eyes. "Excuse me." I say as I pull away and head to the bathroom but he follows me. I walk into the bathroom and he walks in behind me and locks the door. Pulling me close, I start to sob. "I got you baby." he says and I wrap my arms around him and pull him as close as I can get him. When I get myself together, he cups my face and says "We have a plan." I nod and pull away. "Look, I'm fine just being your wife. I don't have to have your crow." I tell him and he shakes his head. "That's not how it works. Let's head to mom's and we'll explain everything." he tells me and I nod.

Pulling up to Gemma and Clay's house, we head inside and all sit at the dining room table. "We want to explain how things work in the club." Gemma tells me and I just nod. Clay speaks up and says "When an Old Lady gets a member's crow, that's biker marriage for us. But once they get the crow, for most of us, we take that extra step and get legally married. But if a member gets divorced or the break things off with their Old Lady, the Old Lady is supposed to get the crow removed before leaving. They are supposed to remove anything marks that link them to the club. Same with members. If they leave the club for any reason they are to get all club related tattoos covered. She didn't. That's a violation that can be voted on by the club." Clay tells me and I look at him. Jax takes my hand and I look at him. "Club voted that we can take her and cover the tattoos ourselves." Jax says. "Are you going to hurt her?" I ask. "Not if we can help it. But sweetheart, she's not going to stop even if we remove the tattoo." Clay tells me. I shake my head and say "Don't worry about it." I say as I look down at my hands and play with my wedding ring. I start to slip it off and Jax stops me. "Don't do that." he says. "She's not going to stop. You heard Clay." I tell him. "I need you to trust me." Jax tells me and I just nod before getting up and walking out the door.
