"Don't you think Jax will realize I'm trying to push him away from Tara?" I asked, causing Gemma to shake her head.

"No, he'll be too focused on you and Abel. I'll have Clay keep him busy, away from the doctor. We'll work together like a team." She replied, making me bite my lip.

      I didn't necessarily want Gemma's help when it came to getting into any kind of relationship with her son. For all I knew, he could just use me as a one night stand and then never want to see me again. I mean, I had a few of those in college, don't tell my Dad, but I was the one who encouraged the 'never see each other again' part. I'm all for fooling around but sooner or later I'd have to settle down, there really was no way around it. I would want a family eventually and sleeping around was not the way I wanted to end up with children.

"I thought Jax said Tara would be leaving after Kohn?" One old lady, I learned her name was Luanne, asked, as she chopped up lettuce.

"That's what Jax had told me, too." I commented, though I really didn't want to get into the middle of a battle of words between Gemma and another old lady, or anyone else for that matter.

     I knew Gemma could be a vicious bitch, just by the way she acted towards some of the people that even gave her a bitchy look. I really wasn't sure what to expect from Gemma and Luanne, but I knew it could end up bad in mere seconds if Gemma got angry. Though my worry was dissipated, when Gemma smirked and let out a snort.

"She won't leave until she gets Jax to take care of Kohn. Even then, she'll feel like she has him wrapped around her finger. So, she'll tear his heart apart like she did last time, and I'll be stuck here to pick up the pieces." She stated, as Luanne frowned.

"I don't know, maybe she's serious this time." Luanne commented, though all Gemma did was shake her head.

"Nope, and even if she was, I don't care. I don't want that bitch around my boys. Once Abel's out of the toaster, she'll never see him again. Jax and Abel will be long gone in one little happy family with Lakota." Gemma sneered, as she gave Luanne a look that shut her up.

      Soon all the ladies carried the food over to the table, before Gemma called for the guys. Gemma had me sit next to Jax, a smirk placed on her face as she told him to sit next to me. Jax grinned as he sat down, kissing my cheek and chuckling. I wasn't sure what all this affection meant, but from the look on Gemma's face, it was going just the way she wanted it to go.

       After dinner, Jax and I grabbed our things and said our goodbyes to everyone. Gemma kissed my cheek again, giving me a smirk and a wink, before slapping my ass as I walked away. I couldn't help but laugh, knowing it was all in good fun. She was honestly so easy to get along with, almost like I got along with my step-mother, Jamie. Gemma almost filled the void I had, missing my family more than I had in a while. It wasn't like missing them when I was in college, since I could go home and see them again. Now I couldn't because I ran away and if I ever came back, they'd probably shun me and shut me out of their lives, if they haven't already.

"Ready to go, darlin'?" Jax asked, causing me to nod.

"Yeah, whenever you are." I replied, making him smile.

   He drove us to my house, before getting off the bike with me. Once we were outside the door, Jax pulled me to him, placing one hand on my waist and the other on my neck. He gazed down at me, a knowing look in his beautiful blue eyes.

"Is there something bothering you?" He asked, causing me to sigh.

"Nothing to worry about." I replied, not wanting to scare away any chance I had with him.

"Lakota, tell me what's up. I know it's troubling your mind." He commented, making me nod slowly.

"I miss my family, but I can never go back. They don't want me, and besides, I don't think I'd ever make the decision to go back." I said, causing him to stare at me confused.

"They're your family, of course they'd want you back. If you miss them, you could always visit. Wanna tell me why you'd never go back to them?" He asked, making me look away.

"I ran away, Jax, just like my brother did a few years before. I can't visit them because they'd just rag me about it. I'm not ready for that and don't think I ever will be. The reason I'd never go back, I can't really explain." I stated, as he pulled my face back up to look at him.

"Why? Tell me why you'd never go back." He mused, making me sigh.

"You, Jax. I don't want to leave you. I could never be myself around them, not once, but with you I can and I have. I feel so free with you. I don't ever want to lose that." I replied, causing him to sigh as well, tangling his fingers in my hair as he laid his forehead on mine.

"You know what that means, right? You know what it means to be with me?" He asked, causing me to shake my head.

"No, but I'm willing to do anything and be anything for you." I said, a smile working it's way on Jax's face.

"Just promise me, when things get hard, you won't leave me and Abel." He pleaded, causing me to nod lightly.

"Promise." I whispered, before his lips met mine.

      Bringing him into my home, into my bed wasn't a regret at all. Bringing him into my heart wasn't a regret at all. Bringing him more chaos than he already had was my only regret...

A/N: I hope you guys liked this chapter. The very last line was foreshadowing, for anyone who didn't catch that. Things aren't just going to pop off as soon as the next chapter begins, I'm not that crazy. What do you guys think though? Her and Jax being together?

Love you guys!
