Waking up the next morning at Jax's house wasn't in Shay's plans, but that's where she found herself when the sun rose early the next morning.

Shay stood in Jax's kitchen holding a content Abel in her arms while getting a bottle ready for him while Leela sat in her high chair playing with a few toys after finishing her breakfast.

Even though she hadn't meant to spend the night at the blonde bikers house deep down it felt nice. Shay could always sleep when Jax was around, her sleepless nights weren't so bad whenever he was near by. It let Shay think of what all of their mornings could be like had she never told Jax she just a wanted to keep a friendship and co-parenting relationship with him.

"Here you go, Abel." Shay's voice was soft as she placed the bottle in the small baby's waiting mouth. A smile forming on her face as she stared down at him.

The small Teller baby had came so far since his days in the ICU. Shay had put on a brave face during those rough months, trying to keep Jax's head on straight, but honestly she was just as scared as he was. Abel might not be her son biologically but she sure as hell loved him like he was.

"I swear you were born to be a mother." Jax spoke as he leaned against the doorframe with a lazy smirk on his face.

Unbeknownst to Shay, Jax had been standing there watching her for the last few minutes, enjoying seeing the brunette with his son and their daughter. He loved the way Shay was with his children. He found it endearing how much she loved Abel even if the baby in her arms wasn't biologically hers.

The biker loved seeing her in his house this early even though he knew Shay hadn't meant to fall asleep last night. Jax never that she was just overwhelmed with the new of Farrah being back and town and their last night conversation turned into too late of a conversation and she had fallen asleep and he didn't have the heart to wake her up.

Seeing Shay in his kitchen was like seeing a glimpse of what their life together could be life, but Tara was pregnant and moving in soon. So that life he wanted with Shay was not possible.

"That's a very sexist comment, Teller." Shay rolled her blue eyes as she looked over at the smirking blonde. "It's very 1950's of you." She added with a teasing tone.

Jax pushed himself off of the doorframe, walking towards Shay with the smirk still on his face. "Oh yeah? You're the one barefoot in the kitchen taking care of our kids."

Our kids didn't go unnoticed by Shay, but she chose to ignore it. It also didn't go unnoticed by the blue eyed woman that Jax was only wear a pair of sweatpants as he stood in front of her with a smirk on his face, but she chose to ignore that as well — as best she could that is.

Shay cleared her throat as she handed Abel to Jax. "I called Nat." She said as she turned on her heel and picked up a fussy Leela from the high chair, bouncing the 10 month old on her hip. "She's coming with Kozik. They should be here late tonight." She added as Leela reached up to grab a handful of her dark hair.

Jax nodded as the smirk on his face fell. "Leela, be easy with mommy's hair." He told his daughter gently, his voice making the 10 month old giggle as she slowly released Shay's hair.

"Do you want me to come over tonight? I got some shit with the club but I can come over after." Jax wanted to be there for Shay. Even if they weren't together romantically they were still best friends.

A soft sight escaped her lips as she thought about his question. Of course she wanted Jax to come over. She always wanted Jax near her, but things were already messy. She didn't want to deal with Tara's wrath either if he came over. It was a catch-22.

"What about Tara? Won't she be mad? I mean, she's pregnant, Jax. Shouldn't you be spending more time with her?"

A frown formed on Jax's face at Shay's words. Tara had been acting weird ever since telling him she was pregnant. Jax wanted to go to appointments with her but she always found some excuse for him not to go. When Shay was pregnant it was totally different. She always wanted Jax with her and if Jax couldn't come then she asked Gemma, and even a few times Nat made the trip. The VP was starting to grew irritated with his supposed pregnant girlfriend.

"She's working late and even if she wasn't I want to be there with you." Jax's tone was firm as his blue eyes stared into hers.

Shay nodded, a smile forming on her face. "Thank you, Jax."

"Don't thank me." Jax rolled his eyes playfully at Shay as he began to burp Abel. "It's you and me darlin' against the world."

Gemma knew something wasn't right with Tara.

The matriarch had a feeling in her gut that the doctor bitch was lying about her pregnancy from the moment she announced it. Of course Gemma knew her son wasn't always the smartest when it came to the Knowles woman and her pussy, and that putting it nicely, but to be so stupid as to get yet another woman pregnant would just be completely stupid.

It was dumb enough he had made the decision to marry the junkie bitch after getting her pregnant— which turned out so well, but Gemma would rather have the junkie bitch around than Tara.

Everyone knew that Jax was meant to be with Shay—everyone but themselves. Gemma would do everything in her power to make sure they wound up together and if that mean exposing Tara as a fraud then that's what she was going to do.

A dark pair of sunglasses sat on Gemma's face as she watched Tara walked out of the doctors office with a single piece of paper in her hands, sliding down in her seat as she watched the doctor bitch drive off the older woman quickly and exited her car.

The SAMCRO Queen had formed a plan, one that she hoped work to get rid of Tara once and for all.

Gemma's heels clicked against the floors as she entered the office with a sweet smile on her face, walking up the front desk she stared at the young blonde sitting behind the desk.

"Hi, sweetheart." The older brunette smiled, putting on her sweetest voice as the blonde behind the desk looked intimidated. "My daughter in law asked me to pick up the gender results of my grandchild. She said they'd be waiting at the front desk for me."

"Oh, um," The young blonde nervously stuttered as she looked around. "I'm not really sure that's something we do." She said nervously with a shaky smile on her face.

A frown formed on Gemma's face as she continued to work her acting skills. "Are you sure? The gender reveal party is Saturday and I've gotta get that paper to the bakery. Are you sure there nothing here? Tara Knowles is her name. She called and told me." Gemma tried again, her tone gentle as she tried to calm down the blonde's nerves.

A moment passed before the blonde spoke again. "I'll check the computer." She said with a small smile.

"Thank you so much, sweetie!" Gemma smiled while leaning over to place a grateful hand on the younger woman's.

"You're welcome. I remember you when Shay Miller use to come here. I hope she's doing well." Th blonde said softly as she typed away on the computer.

A genuine smile formed on Gemma's lips at the girl's words. "She is. I'll let her know you asked about her—Gia." Gemma said as she read the girl's name tag.

Gia nodded with a smile. "Tara Knowles you said?" She questioned with pursed lips.

"Yes." Gemma nodded, taking notice of the blonde's expression.

"There's no Tara Knowles in our system."

A scoff left Gemma's lips as she shook her head. "Stupid bitch." She muttered. "Thank you, sweetie. I guess she gave me the wrong information." Gemma quickly lied before turning in her heel and heading out the door.

Gemma knew she needed to tell Jax, but first she need to confront the bitch by herself.
