Chapter 71

Tinsley stayed in the room with Willow through the entire delivery. And at 3:47 a.m., Willow welcomed a baby boy weighing in at 8 pounds 14 ounces and 22 inches long.

"He's beautiful" said Tinsley as she sat beside Willow on the bed while she held her baby boy.

"He sure is" said Willow.

"Did you guys pick out any names?" Asked Tinsley.

"Yea, but until Half Sack gets back, this baby boy will be known as TBD Epps." Said Willow.

"Well TBD is absolutely beautiful." Said Tinsley.

Just then a nurse came in and needed to walk willow through trying to breast feed.

"I'm gonna step out and call Gemma" said Tinsley.

"I'll be right here" said Willow.

Once Tinsley was out in the hallway, she walked towards the vending machines to get a drink. She called Gemma and told her about the baby. As she was about to walk about to Willow's room, someone called her name. She turned around and saw Tara coming through one of the sets of double doors. Tinsley rolled her eyes internally. She could only imagine what she wanted.

"Hey Tinsley." Said Tara.

"Tara" said Tinsley.

"Kevin said he tried to get up with Jax about Ava. Jax hasn't called yet" said Tara.

"That's cause I haven't given him the message." Said Tinsley.

"What do you mean you haven't gave him the message? You told Kevin you would get Jax to call him" said Tara.

"I did. And I will when I talk to him. Not that it's any of your business, but, he's on a charity run and I didn't want to bother him. Plus, his phone is dead" said Tinsley.

"How convenient" said Tara.

"And what's that supposed to mean?" Asked Tinsley.

"Just that when I need something that concerns Ava, he can't be reached" said Tara.

"Well correct me if I'm wrong but why would Jax care if you have an issue with Ava? You said yourself she was Opie's and not Jax's." Said Tinsley.

"She is." Said Tara almost sadly.

"Then why would Jax care?" Said Tinsley.

"Because he can be a good man when he wants to be" said Tara.

"First off, he is a wonderful man. The best man I have ever known. But I still don't see why he would care about anything concerning your child." Said Tinsley. Her patience was growing thin.

"It's not any of your business" said Tara.

"When an ex who has already proclaimed her love to my husband says she needs to talk to him, it becomes my business. Now what's so important that you need to talk to him?" Said Tinsley.

Tara seemed to weigh her options. After a few seconds, she decided to just tell her.

"Ava found out that Jax wasn't her dad. She wanted to know who her real dad is. Well, I told her. I explained that he was dead and that he had other children. Long story short, she wants to meet her siblings. I figured if anyone could get Donna to allow Ava to meet Kenny and Ellie it would be him. Ava won't come out of her room. She won't talk to me." Said Tara.

"And just what is Jax supposed to do? Beg Donna to meet Opie's illegitimate child? I thought you two used to be friends. Why can't you ask her instead if involving Jax in this shit?" Asked Tinsley.

"We did used to be friends but she won't talk to me. I've tried calling her. She just ignores my calls." Said Tara.

"Can you blame her? Would you want to talk to someone who had a child with your deceased husband?" Said Tinsley.

"Probably not but that not the point. Ava deserves to know her siblings." Said Tara.

"That might be true, but that's ultimately Donna's decision now that Opie ain't here." Said Tinsley.

"Look, just tell Jax to call me or Kevin. I'm done talking to you" said Tara.

"I don't know who you think you are getting hostile with but honey you got the right one. You might think you can come in here and act all high and might because you have some degree but I'm here to tell you, your degree don't mean shit to me. You walk into Charming 11 years after leaving Jax broken hearted and didn't even have the decency to tell him why you were leaving. You claim to have had a child with him in hopes that he will take your trifling ass back. You proclaim your love for him and say that you will do anything and everything in your power to break him and me up. Then you have the nerve to want me to involve Jax in your love child's family life? Are you really that desperate for his attention?" Asked Tinsley.

"Honey if I wanted his attention, you can believe I would have it undivided." Said Tara as she walked a step closer to Tinsley and got in her face.

"You better back the fuck up Tara. I'm telling you, today ain't the day" Said Tinsley.

"Or what? You going to hit me?" Said Tara.

"I'm gonna say this one more time. Back up out of my face. I don't want to have to scrub the floors of this hospital with your face" said Tinsley.

"Sounds like Gemma's trained you well" said Tara still not moving out of Tinsley's face.

"Gemma hasn't trained me in a anything. You are fucking with my family." Said Tinsley.

"It's funny that you care so much about your family. I'm sure you and the kids are the last thing on Jax's mind right now. You said he's on a run? I'm pretty sure he's fucking at least 2 whores right now that wouldn't even weigh as much as your leg. He's never been faithful to anyone he's been with in his entire life. What makes you think you would be any different? Yeah, your guys have kids together but so did he and wendy. And he fucked every chick he could get while he was with her. You're no different Tinsley. You are nothing special. He just keeps your fat ass around to keep him warm during the winter. Just wait until the summer comes. When he sees your flabby ass in a bikini, he will come running back to me. I will have him back." Said Tara.

Before Tinsley knew what was happening, he punched Tara in the right cheek, making her fall to the floor. But Tinsley didn't stop there. Grabbing Tara by the hair, she smashed her face into the floor effectively breaking her nose. Tinsley flipped Tara onto her back and straddled her. She pummeled her face again and again. Tara managed to get one hit into Tinsley's ribs but it did nothing to stop Tinsley. She was running on pure adrenaline at the minute.

Tinsley stood up and began to kick Tara in the ribs. She could have swore that she actually heard them breaking from the force of her kicks. Tara balled her self up in an effort to protect herself but it was useless. Tinsley went back down on her knees and smashed her head into the floor once more. She was about to do it again when three security guards pulled her off of Tara. They drug her off of Tara. She was kicking and screaming trying to get back at her again.

"Let me go!" Yelled Tinsley.

"Ma'am, you need to calm down or your going to go downtown and cook off in a cell" said one of the guards.

"That bitch deserves everything she's got." Said Tinsley.

"That might be true but you still need to calm down." Said one of the guards.

Deciding it was best, Tinsley stopped fighting the guards. She didn't want to spend the night in a jail cell away from her babies. As it was, Tara would probably press charges on her.

After Tinsley calmed down, theguards finally got her about three feet away from Tara. Looking down at her, Tinsley could tell Tara was unconscious. She wondered just how long she had been that way. Hopefully she had been awake long enough to know that Tinsley wasn't fucking around with her anymore. She wanted Tara to remember the ass beating she had just received.

As the doctors had checked on Tara, The security guards escorted Tinsley out of the hospital. They had banned her from the facility. Which didn't mean anything because it was the only health care facility in the area. She sat onto the bench outside of the hospital and called Willow. She filled her in on the fight and why she couldn't come back in. Of course willow had praised her for beating Tara's ass which made her feel a since off pride in herself. She had never been the fighting type and until recently, she had never even been in a fight unless you count the wrestling her and he brother used to do.

When she got off the phone with Willow, she called a cab since she didn't have her purse or her keys to drive herself home.
