CHAPTER 62

~ Gatehouse~

“Ned, Ned you in there?” Chloe yelled practically banging in the door.

Ned came flying down the stairs “Hold your horses I’m coming.”

“Well it’s about time.” She muttered walking through the now opened door. “What took you so long?” She turned and looked at him “Never mind it doesn’t matter anyway the only thing that matters is getting Jax away from that slut of a so called wife he has.”

“Can we please refrain from the name calling?” Ned asked throwing clothes into a suitcase.

“Sorry I forget at times that you actually love that woman.”

“Chloe what do you want? Why are you here?”

“Is time for you to get your son back.”

Ned looked at her. “Chloe I really think your losing it.”

She noticed his almost packed bags. “What are you doing.”

“I’m going back home to New York where I belong.”

Chloe grabbed the suitcase out of his hands. “NO you can’t do that I need you here, your son needs you here!”

Ned forcefully took the suitcase back from her. “I don’t know what the hell your talking about, and frankly I really don’t care to know, but the only child I have is Brooke-Lynn.” He headed for the front door. “And she’s waiting for me to come home, so I’m outta here.”

“Ned no you can’t just leave me like this I need your help.” She yelled slamming the door shut.”

“You need help alright.” He leans close to her ear. “But I can’t give you the help you need.” He again try’s to open the door, only to have her shut it in his face. “Chloe if you don’t get out of my way I’m going to hurt you.”

“What kind of father are you? Do you really want to make the same mistake with Johnny that you made with Brooke-Lynn?”

“Johnny?”

“Yes Ned, Johnny is your son and Jax knew it all alone.”

Ned thought for a moment. “Chloe I know how much you want Jax back but getting into your head that Johnny is mine isn’t going to help. I think it‘s time you….”

“Jax has proof that Johnny is yours and not his.”

“What kind of proof?”

“A copy of the original DNA test that was taken, stating that you not Jax was Johnny’s biological daddy.”

“If Johnny was mine Alexis would of told me.”

“Not if Jax didn’t tell her.”

Ned opened the door and started walking out.

Chloe ran after him “What are you going to do?”

“I don’t know just yet.” He gave her a strange look. “How do you know any of this anyway?”

“How I found out doesn’t matter, all that does is that Johnny is yours.”

~ Jacks Bedroom ~

Alexis slowly crawls out of bed and threw her robe on. “Rebecca has soccer practice after school today, do you think you’ll be able to make it?”

“I don’t know, but I’ll try?” Jax stated staring up at the ceiling.

“She really loves it when you show up.”

Jax jumped out of bed. “I said I’ll try Alexis.”

She walked over and sat down next to him. “Jax please what just happen between us was wonderful.” She took his hand in hers. “Let’s not go back to where we were before.”

He kissed the top of her head. “I’m sorry sweetie and yes what just happened was wonderful. I wish we could spend the rest of the day just lying in bed making love to you.”

“Then why don’t we?”

“For starters didn’t you mention something about having a busy day today?”

“Yes I do.” She leaned across him reaching for the phone. “But all I have to do is make a phone call or two and…….”

He grabbed her hand stopping her. “I really wish it was that easy honey, but it isn’t, Unfortunately I have a meeting that I can’t postpone.”

“Well then do you think we could meet later for lunch?”

“I don’t know if I’ll be free or not.” He could see the sadness building up in her eyes. “What do you think about a late night dinner, just the two of us, anyplace you’d like?”

“ PC Grille?”

“I was thinking someplace a little more romantic and a little less full of Quartermaine’s.”

Her eyes lit up “How about that new Italian restaurant that just opened up? I heard is very romantic and has a large dance floor.”

“Who owns it?” Jax laughed

“I’m not sure but I know it’s not a Quartermaine.”

“He kisses her lips lightly. “Then it’s a date.”
