Jax strolled through the parking lot of the club on his way to his bike. He just returned from a run earlier in the day and due to church and a few other things he still had yet to make it home to see his family. He didnt want to tell Harlow that him and Clay got into it when they got back because Jax wanted to head home. It was Veda's first birthday today and he wanted to get home and see her, things had been moving at a slow pace for everyone. Clay seemed to make Jax go on more runs over the last few months because according to Clay pussy was clouding his judgement. It wasnt even that. Jax wanted to provide for his family as much as he could and make sure they were safe at all times.

Jax had discussed with Harlow about going nomad a few times just to get out of the club to clear his head but they both agreed it would be best if he waited for Clay's hands to finally give out and Jax take over the gavel. But Jax was afraid that trying to change the club could cost him everything. The current decision he made was one he needed to go home and talk to Harlow about. He knew she was going to talk him out of it but this was what he wanted to do. He was leaving Samcro

"Babe" Jax said when he closed the front door

"In the kitchen" Harlow yelled back to him

As Jax walked up the set of stairs he heard what sounded like a heard of elephants running through the house

"Daddy!" All three children yelled as they nearly tackled him to the ground.

"Hey guys I missed you so much" Jax said hugging each one of them

"What about me?" Harlow asked standing in the doorway of the kitchen

"I missed you the most" Jax said grabbing Harlow's hips and bringing her close to him

"I need to talk to you about something" Jax said before kissing her

"Jax what did you do?" Harlow asked backing away from him

"Nothing bad, I just need to run an idea by you" Jax said walking into the kitchen

"What is it?" Harlow asked

"Would you be mad at me if I left the club?" Jax asked

Harlow looked at Jax's trying to read his face "What do you mean?"

"Like move us out of here and I just get a job at a garage somewhere" Jax asked sitting at the island

"Like leave Charming?" Harlow asked

Jax nodded his head

"No, i think its a bad idea, dont get me wrong baby i would love to just be safe all of the time but, this is what you wanted to do since you were a kids you told me yourself and now you want out?" Harlow asked

"I want to be able to see my family everyday and Clay is making that very had for me" Jax said

"Don't let us hold you back from doing what you always wanted to do Jax because that will come with a lot of resentment and guilt and I don't want that hanging over you head" Harlow said touching Jax's arm

Jax looked at his wife, she was probably right. He didn't want to leave the club but he wanted to spend more time at home with the kids and Harlow and not have to worry if they are going to get shot at that day

"I want to keep you safe babe" Jax said brushing a lock of hair from her face

"We are safe. What you need to do is get Clay out of that seat so you can take over and fix everything" Harlow said

"How can you be so sure that I can fix all of this?" Jax asked

"Because you are my husband Jackson Teller, nothing stops you. You are a good man Jax with a big heart, everyone sees it. You can do this baby I promise" Harlow said touching Jax's face

"I knew there was a reason I fall in love with you more and more each day, you keep my head on straight" Jax said pulling Harlow closer to him

"Someone needs to baby, its my job" Harlow said kissing Jax

Jax walked into the clubhouse and scanning through the party for Clay, Jax needed to talk to him about a few things and the only time he had was tonight. Harlow took the kids up to Lake Tahoe for the weekend since Jax was busy being Clay's little bitch as Harlow called it. Jax hated when they fought, he always felt like he was the asshole for leaving or having club shit to do.

"Clay I need to talk to you man" Jax said finding his president in the chapel

"Good i need to talk to you too son" Clay said lighting his cigar

"Hows the hands these days old man?" Jax asked knowing his mother just did injections on his hands earlier this morning

"They are getting tired, meds aren't working anymore, that is why i wanted to talk to you" Clay said motioning Jax to sit down

"Go ahead what's up" Jax asked lighting himself a cigarette

"This is you're fathers legacy, was to have you hold the gavel. At first i didn't think it was a good idea because you were young and dumb but over the last few years I have watched you grow into this adult, a father and a husband and I am so proud of you" Clay said

"Well thanks" Jax said nodding his head

"I don't have much time left to ride, so I am going to vote on it but i already know the results" Clay began as he slid the gavel over to Jax "This is who you are supposed to be, the King."

"I am going to make a few changes Clay" Jax said taking the gavel in his hands and examining it

"I understand, with you as president I am fully aware of change and I understand that you need to continue JT's legacy" Clay said

"I'm glad we came to the agreement, and I appreciate you handing this to me" Jax smiled

"You have deserved it Jackson" Clay said standing up and shaking Jax's hand

A short time later after everyone voted yay for Jax to become king the party began, Jax knew he had new responsibilities being president but his mind was with his family where he wanted to be. Sending Harlow a text asking her to call and she never did was sending Jax in a panic, being out in the woods with barely any service no matter how many times he tried calling no one answered
