jax' POV

"shes mine."

"what" tara said

"Emery. she is my daughter."

"how the fuck. that bitch that showed up looking for happy. you mean her daughter!!"

"dont talk about her like that."

"excuse me I AM YOUR WIFE! how the fuck do you have a kid together?! that little girl looked almost as old as abel jax. so what was she a croweater in tacoma you cheated on me with?? has to be since she knows happy and kozik!!"

"stop. shes not a croweater. I was with here before I got with you. none of that is any of your business tara. just know emery is my daughter and shes going to be staying here once shes ready."

"none of my business?! I am your wife. everything you do is my business jax. why show up now? she want money or something? she hid your kid from you! jesus"

"no it isnt not this tara. she doesn't want or need my money. you know what I dont have to explain any thing to you."

"yes you do! I am your wife jackson I deserve to know what the hell is going on."

"dont act like we're doing good here. we havent been good in a long time."

"no that's not it. you're going back on everything you fucking told me. you're not fixing the club and you're no where close to doing it! you're never going to leave charming"

"damn it tara! if you're not happy leave! go to Oregon take that job!"

"NO DAMNIT! you said you would change it and walk away. I have been there and have been fighting for us! why cant you just go with us?!"

"I know what I said and im sorry tara. arent you sick of the fighting? thats all weve done for the past couple years. I havent been happy in a long time you cant stand there and tell me you have. honestly I should have let you leave when you wanted to when abel was still a baby, after kohn."

"the fighting is from me trying to save you! I love you! where is the man I fell in love with?!" she started crying. I hate to make her cry.

"you dont need to save me. i think, you believe you're in love with me but you're not. you're in love with the idea of us. what we had when we were kids but even then we were no good for each other. you've always looked at me like I needed you to save me, change me. you've always wanted me to be who you wanted me to be not who i really am. some type of project."

"what no! I have always loved you jackson." I've grown to hate how it sounds when she says my name. it annoys me. "please dont do this."

"tara we both know this had been coming. we have just ignored what's right in front of us."

"no. I refuse to let you push me away. why now jax? huh?"

"I'm done tara." I sighed. i wasnt going to argue any more.

"why now?! all because that whore rolled into town? she didnt even acknowledge you. was all about kozik and happy. hell that kid could be koziks."

"dont. this isnt about her. this is about us. I havent been happy tara, this hasnt been working out and you know it."

"no I dont believe that. you just want to play house with her and her kid. I'm not going to let you push me away and confuse abel all for in a couple months decide you want your family back."

"stop trying to make it seem like she isnt my daughter! you're acting like this is out of the blue. hell anytime we argue or things dont go your way you threaten to leave! just go pack your things and go to Oregon."
