Author’s Note: So, this is my first Sons of Anarchy story for those of you who are fans of the show. This fic is a Dark Fic.  It is set during the timeline of the entire series, but I’m not going full canon. There will be things that are actually what happened in the show, but with my own twist, and things that are not show canon. The narrative is set to fit the story itself. If you are a Tara Knowles fan, be warned, as this story may not be for you.  Also please HEED the warnings.  They are there for those get triggered by certain topics.  I will post another warning before each chapter to give a final warning.  Please if you want to be tagged just in time for first chapter, please hit up my ask.  I will gladly tag you all.

Chapter 7:

Jax smiled down at the little boy squirming around in his arms.  This was the first day since Abel was born that he could finally be held.  That precious baby boy had been through quite a lot in his first few weeks into this world.

Jax never thought he could have so much love in his heart for one person, and then he looked into Abel’s eyes, that mirrored his own.  To be honest, he was always scared to become a father.  When he and Wendy separated, and she told him that she was pregnant, he thought his entire world was crashing around him.  But the thought of abandoning his responsibility to his unborn child never crossed his mind.  He did everything he could to make sure that he would bring his son safely into this world.  Well, except for stopping his ex’s insatiable drug habit.
