Leather & Lace: A Sons of Anarchy Fanfic

Chapter 116

It didn't take much convincing in Gemma's behalf before Dr. Beckley was leading Tinsley and Gemma towards the room that Ian was in. When Tinsley walked in the room, his appearance was the first thing she noticed. He was beaten to a pulp but there was no denying who he was.

"This him?" Asked Gemma.

"Yep. That's the guy from the grocery store." Said Tinsley.

"Ok" said Gemma.

"So, what now? How do we find out if this is the guy that's responsible for the bombing?" Asked Tinsley.

"Well, we have to wait for the guys to call us. The FBI hasn't allowed them their one phone call yet." Said Gemma.

"Ok." Said Tinsley.

"You know, you're handling this so much better than I thought you would. You and Jax are pretty much connected at the hip. I'm not saying I thought you would be weak, but I did think that you would be a little more unsettled." Said Gemma.

Holding her hand out, Tinsley showed Gemma just how settled she was.

"Does this look like I'm settled? Gemma, I'm a wreck. I know I will break down but right now ain't the time. Me having a nervous fucking breakdown ain't gonna help Jax." Said Tinsley.

"I know sweetheart. I just felt like you should know that I'm glad Jax found you. I'm proud to call you my daughter in law" said Gemma.

Tinsley couldn't help but think about the letters she had read earlier. Was Gemma really the monster JT had made her out to be? Could she have been okay with Clay killing JT? Tinsley didn't know the answers to those questions but she deep down she didn't want to think of Gemma as being so heartless.

"Thanks Gemma. Like I said, I know I will break down and then, I'll be a blubbering mess. Then you think I'm so tough" said Tinsley, her voice cracking at the end.

Miss not the time. I can not start crying.

"Come here baby" said Gemma as she pulled Tinsley into her arms. The two of them stood in the middle of the hospital room, both of them crying and comforting each other.

"Hello again Tinsley" came a voice.

Lifting her head from Gemma's shoulder, Tinsley looked around the room looking for the source of the voice.

Ian lifted his hand from the bed.

"Nice to see you again" said Ian.

"Wish I could say the same" said Tinsley.

"So rude" muttered Ian.

"You haven't seen rude yet. Why were you at that club house? Why did Jax stab you?" Said Gemma.

"Because he's a criminal" said Ian.

"No he ain't" said Tinsley.

"Yes, he is. He stabbed me in the gut because he wanted me dead" said Ian.

"Look Ian, if Jax stabbed you, he had good reason. So why. Why did he stab you?" Said Tinsley.

"Well, my names not Ian. It's actually Declan." Said Declan.

"Doesn't matter. Now answer my question" said Tinsley.

"I'm feeling tired all of a sudden" said Declan.

"Bullshit" said Gemma walking towards Declan's bed.

"Declan, why did Jax stab you?" Said Tinsley again.

"That's simple. I bombed the garage" said Declan.

Well that was easy.

"You bombed the garage? Why?" Said Gemma.
