Jax Teller.

I guess asking you what's going on with you would be a loaded question right now, wouldn't it?

"Please don't ever call yourself a bitch, Wendy. You're the mother of my children...never a bitch." And he meant it, too, rolling his shoulders into a slight shrug.

"I'll go wherever my children are. Even if it means going to Jersey to be near them."

We've actually been getting along, Wendy. Co-parenting seems to look good on us.

How could Jax possibly argue with that? She just shared the cold hard facts with him and he had no choice but to agree.

"If that's what you want. But please... don't ever take my kids away from me. We talked about all of this before I gave you my stuff."

He's my twin. My shadow. I will never give up on my babies. You know this, Wend.

"/She/ can kiss my ass. You promised I could be a part of her life, Wendy. Has that changed?" Jax was white knuckling the counter top, unable to hide the anger brewing within.

"Please don't. If she'll leave once; she'll do it again."

"It was traumatizing considering you were in the next room waiting on me!" He jested as he stepped forward just a bit.

"You were what?? Does she know how mean you can be?"

and my purpose is being a dad. a damn good one, just as I've been to Abel.

such love.

Laughter roared from deep within Jax's chest. "Have you lost your damn mind?! You didn't pay me for my jizz. I gave it willingly. You promised me I could be a part of Josie's life."

His whole expression changed to one of warmth and compassion. "Wen, you're an amazing mother. Look at Abel..."

"You're um, welcome for my baby batter if that's what you're thanking me for." He couldn't help but laugh at the thought now that it'd been what felt like ages ago.

"Seriously, Wendy... I know you're gonna be an amazing mother to Josie just as you are to Abel. So - Thank you, babe."

"Josie's gonna be as healthy as an ox." he retorted with excitement in his voice. "She's gonna have the best of both of us. Your banging looks and my infectious personality." He meant it. Wendy was the most beautiful woman he'd ever laid his eyes upon. She was, after all, the mother of his children.

"I'd hope he has my smile. Too bad he inherited my heart, too." Jax's voice trailed off in the distance. He always carried a tinge of guilt over that fact. Abel deserved better than he received.

it entails. Hell forbid she go through life wondering /why/ she has cravings for Italian food all the time." Jax was able to hold back a laugh which was no easy feat with Wendy.

Jax strolled over to where Wendy sat. He slowly lowered his hand, lifting her head with his index finger while capturing her chocolate gaze. "Why'd you lower your eyes, Wend? Josie's gonna love /both/ our styles no matter what they are. Harleys and dad rock are in her genes just as Jersey and all >

"I'd hoped she'd develop a liking to both styles of music. But alas; you win.", he replied with a hint of defeat in his tone. "Though my voice is as smooth as butter, ain't it?"

"I walked up to you with a joint. Not the shit that followed."

Cue the smile upon Jax's lips,

"You think I have a cute smile, do ya?"

"Who landed in Charming on a whim?"

"Now she's out here and won't listen to the /real/ classics that her daddy loves?!"

"You do know she's gonna be just as blonde as Abel and me, don't you?" He attempted to stifle a laugh with little success.

// You do you, babe. You do you.😂

"It's two against two. You and Josie. Me and Abel. I'd say that makes us even, Wend."

// Hell no! It's a damn opossum! LMAO! You have to admit you see the resemblance.

Are you hungry, Annie?

"I'm gonna have to learn the hard way, ain't I?"

// I swear - it looks like an opossum!😆

"I know you'll be madder than a wet hen when I say this, but; please take care of yourself and Josie. You know I'm gonna worry the closer you get to your due date." Jax thought about ducking for cover, but after careful consideration; thought better of it.

"I know you love your work. I get it."

"I don't stand a chance, do I?"

// is that an opossum?

"Look at it this way - Maternity leave ain't too far off." He replied, rolling his shoulders into a slight shrug.

"You made some of my favorites, just as you always do. Thanks, Darlin'."

He replied, his voice soft and smooth.

Lost between Stockton and Charming. Shit's about to get bad, Annie.

I'm gonna need your help. Think you can handle it?

CAVENDISHHHH!!

I know, baby. I'm not trying to push you away. Just trying to make you see how unglamorous this life can really be.

I don't wanna do more time, Anika.
