Leather & Lace: A Sons of Anarchy Fanfic

Chapter 71

Tinsley stayed in the room with Willow through the entire delivery. And at 3:47 a.m., Willow welcomed a baby boy weighing in at 8 pounds 14 ounces and 22 inches long.

"He's beautiful" said Tinsley as she sat beside Willow on the bed while she held her baby boy.

"He sure is" said Willow.

"Did you guys pick out any names?" Asked Tinsley.

"Yea, but until Half Sack gets back, this baby boy will be known as TBD Epps." Said Willow.

"Well TBD is absolutely beautiful." Said Tinsley.

Just then a nurse came in and needed to walk willow through trying to breast feed.

"I'm gonna step out and call Gemma" said Tinsley.

"I'll be right here" said Willow.

Once Tinsley was out in the hallway, she walked towards the vending machines to get a drink. She called Gemma and told her about the baby. As she was about to walk about to Willow's room, someone called her name. She turned around and saw Tara coming through one of the sets of double doors. Tinsley rolled her eyes internally. She could only imagine what she wanted.

"Hey Tinsley." Said Tara.

"Tara" said Tinsley.

"Kevin said he tried to get up with Jax about Ava. Jax hasn't called yet" said Tara.

"That's cause I haven't given him the message." Said Tinsley.

"What do you mean you haven't gave him the message? You told Kevin you would get Jax to call him" said Tara.

"I did. And I will when I talk to him. Not that it's any of your business, but, he's on a charity run and I didn't want to bother him. Plus, his phone is dead" said Tinsley.

"How convenient" said Tara.

"And what's that supposed to mean?" Asked Tinsley.

"Just that when I need something that concerns Ava, he can't be reached" said Tara.

"Well correct me if I'm wrong but why would Jax care if you have an issue with Ava? You said yourself she was Opie's and not Jax's." Said Tinsley.

"She is." Said Tara almost sadly.

"Then why would Jax care?" Said Tinsley.

"Because he can be a good man when he wants to be" said Tara.

"First off, he is a wonderful man. The best man I have ever known. But I still don't see why he would care about anything concerning your child." Said Tinsley. Her patience was growing thin.

"It's not any of your business" said Tara.

"When an ex who has already proclaimed her love to my husband says she needs to talk to him, it becomes my business. Now what's so important that you need to talk to him?" Said Tinsley.

Tara seemed to weigh her options. After a few seconds, she decided to just tell her.

"Ava found out that Jax wasn't her dad. She wanted to know who her real dad is. Well, I told her. I explained that he was dead and that he had other children. Long story short, she wants to meet her siblings. I figured if anyone could get Donna to allow Ava to meet Kenny and Ellie it would be him. Ava won't come out of her room. She won't talk to me." Said Tara.

"And just what is Jax supposed to do? Beg Donna to meet Opie's illegitimate child? I thought you two used to be friends. Why can't you ask her instead if involving Jax in this shit?" Asked Tinsley.
