Some dialogue from the show will be in this fic, another AU one shot for my babies as I've wanted to do a plot like this for awhile because in my honest opinion Gemma didn't deserve the ending she got at all. This story will contain spoilers for 7x12: Red Rose. Comments/Reviews are welcome, but please no constructive criticism. No beta and this fic has some implied sexual content in it, along with actual content.Disclaimer: No characters belong to me they belong to Kurt Sutter & FX/Disney.
“You still love her, don't you?”
Wayne's words echoed through his mind as Nero continued driving out of Charming and up to Oregon to get Gemma and try to save her – because he did still love her and was in love with her.
A Few Hours Later: Tuesday December 2nd Oregon - 2pm
He pulled up to Gemma's dad's house looking at it amazed at how beautiful it is meanwhile inside hearing a car's engine turn off quickly Gemma got up from the bare floor running over to the window's curtains parting her two fingers onto the curtains they open slightly she looked out intensely through them outside Nero unbuckles his seat belt getting out of his car shutting the door walking up to the door knocking not knowing Gemma's hazel brown eyes staring. Confused Gemma's two fingers let go of the curtains and they close once again she goes over to the door opening it a bit wide.
“Hey” he says, looking at her
“What are you doing here?” she asks, looking at him a confused expression on her face
“I came to save you, Mama” he explains
“You can't save me, Nero” she says, truthfully
“I want to try, baby” he says, a short pause later “Can I come inside?” he asks
She nodded moving to the side, he steps inside closing the door behind him.
“Who told you I was here?” she asks, taking a seat back down next to her photo album.
“Wendy” he said, joining her down onto the floor
“Mm” she commented, picking up her photo album again laying it on her lap looking through it
After a bit she stops looking down at an essay she did
“Fifth grade. I wrote an essay on the importance of the Second Amendment. Got a B+. I knew even then where I was headed” she said, pointing to the paper
Nero smiled as she's talking wrapping his arm around her “I still love you, Gem, always will”
“You shouldn't after what I've done” she whispers starting to cry softly tears spilling down her face
“Why did you do it?” he asked, his finger tipping her chin up making her look at him
“It doesn't matter anymore” she said, sniffles as he wipes the tears gently away with his fingers
“Come on, Mama, it's me tell me the truth, I gotta know” he encouraged
Taking a deep breath clearing her throat suddenly she starts speaking in a low whispered voice “A few months ago Wayne picked me up from jail because Tara you know accused me of..you know that whole incident and I asked him to tell me the truth so he did, he told me she made a deal with the DA, she takes a deep breath and continues “I..after we broke up I was so upset and distraught that I got drunk and high, fed him a line about having issues with my heart when he went to get my medicine I quickly got up grabbed his keys off the counter and left by the time he got back, went there...everything got fuzzy after that...at first no one was there then she appeared and I..snapped I guess I don't even remember what happened that night, but I know I killed her...I didn't know Jax was turning himself in until after...” tears are now streaming down her face once again.
“I..didn't go over there to kill her, I went there to talk to her...it was a mistake, an accident, I loved Tara. I went with the information I had at the time” she cries
“Oh, Mama” he says, sympathetically pulling her closer to him She looks up at him his fingers wipe her tears away again after a brief moment he reaches down to her lap closing the album setting it down next to them, his lips move down closer to hers closing the gap between them, she instantly cups his face deepening the kiss slipping her tongue into his mouth moaning softly.
After a few moments Gemma broke the kiss looking into his eyes intensely breathing heavily a bit.
“Baby, please make love to me” she whispered
“Are you sure, Mama, it might be uncomfortable on this floor, not to mention cold” he pointed out
She nodded “Yes, I need to forget for a bit and you can keep me safe and warm like always” she whispered
He smiles leaning down to her lips kissing her again while starting to slowly take off her clothes and she does the same within seconds they are both naked on the bare floor.
Nero wraps his arms around her trying to keep her as warm and safe as he can, Gemma moans quietly as his soft lips moves down to the side of her neck and collarbone leaving love bites “Oh!” she breathes.
“Baby...please” she pleaded, opening her legs for him spreading them apart
Without a word he slips himself inside her thrusting slowly
“Yes” she moans a bit louder wrapping her arms around his back
After a moment she starts riding him a bit fast as he joins her going a bit faster with his thrusting, she's now breathing heavily.
“Mm, right there, babe” she whispers “Ah!”
He goes deeper inside her thrusting faster and a bit harder
“Goddammit!” she grips his back hard, still breathing heavily
“Yes!” She cries out in pleasure closing her eyes “Don't stop” He doesn't and they continue making love for an hour.
“I'm gonna cum!” Gemma cries out as Nero collapses onto her sweating filled naked body breathing heavily.
“Shit, Mama that was amazing” he breathes trying to calm down “I came too” he murmured softly playing with her hair as she looks down at him.
“Good, thank you, baby and yeah it was as usual, brought back memories for me” she swallows hard, trying to calm down herself wiping the sweat from her forehead.
“You're welcome” he looks up at her bringing his lips down to hers kissing her again passionately slipping his tongue into her mouth, she starts moaning softly which turns him on all over again. God what if I lose her? he thinks.
Suddenly they hear a car outside
vehicle approaching, engine shuts off, vehicle door shuts
Wayne gets out of his truck glancing around noticing a car instantly he knows whose it is so he knows Gemma's gotta be here
“Shit babe, we've gotta get up and get dressed I think someone's here” Gemma says to him in a quiet, but panicked tone.
Nero pulls out of her and helps her up from the floor and the two of them get quickly and quietly get dressed.
A knock on the door startles them and they look over at each other unsure of what to do until Gemma nods at him indicating for him to get the door.
Nero walks over the door opening it to reveal Wayne standing there on the other side looking at him
“Hey, Nero” he says, simply
“She's here isn't she?” he asks, he nodded sadly inside he's heartbroken it's come to this
“I need to come in” he states
Nero sighs heavily stepping aside Wayne steps inside as Nero closes the door behind him
Gemma is now standing a few feet away from Nero arms down at her side just staring at Wayne
He chuckles softly and grunts
“What are you doing, Gem?” he asked, finding his voice
“You're a smart man, Wayne. I'm sure you know the answer to that” she commented, truthfully
“Mmm. I need you to come with me. Uh... back to Sanwa” he states somberly
She sniffles “I can't do that”
“I know about Tara” he stated
“I assumed you did” She guessed
“Should I ask why?” he asked, looking at her
“It doesn't matter anymore” she said
Nero is about to speak up, but doesn't and instead let them continue talking
“No. It doesn't. I have to arrest you, Gemma” he states trying to be professional for once in his life where Gemma is concerned.
“Don't make me call the local cops” he threatened “Please Let's do this quietly” he tells her
“Not really my style, sweetheart, you do what you need to do” she states truthfully.
With that Wayne walks over to Gemma taking out his handcuffs, taking her hands placing them hands behind her back she looks down at the floor tiredly and somberly as he handcuffs her and reads her her rights.
“Wayne..please” he pleaded one more time
“Nero, I can't and you know that” he said firmly
As Wayne walks her to the door opening it she finally looks up and over at Nero, he's crying softly knowing there's nothing he can do to get her out of this mess now.
Nero walks over to her caressing her face with his fingers looking into her eyes which are tired, yet somber looking his lips move to hers closing the gap there and kisses him gently after a few moments he pulls away “I'll come and visit you soon, okay” he whispers with that Wayne opens the door pulling her with him as Nero takes a few step forward toward the door watching emotionally as she's taken away to jail.
A Week Later: Friday December 12 th Jail, Visitors Day: Sanwa, California -11am
Nero is sitting at the table across from Gemma whose in the orange jumpsuit
“So how are you doin', Mama?” he asked, looking at him
She shakes her head “Not good”
“I got a few years in here, plead guilty to manslaughter” she stated, looking down at the table staring to cry quietly.
“I'm sorry” he whispers sighing deeply inside he can't believe this has happened
“Me too” she whispers back looking back at him
“I wanted to save you” he whispers
“But you can't” she pointed out
“I love you, Mama and I'll wait for you” he says
“You shouldn't, Nero” she stated
“Why?” he asked even though inside he already knows why
“You know why, it isn't right after what I've done” she said
“Mama, it was an accident you didn't mean to do this” he pointed out
“I know, but it still isn't right” she whispers
“I'll always love you, Gem” flashing her a warm smile taking her hand to his kissing it softly
“I love you, too” she said, starting to cry again, his fingers instantly wiping her tears away
Two Weeks Later: Tuesday December 30th Nero's House – Charming, California - 3pm
It's a sunny warm day, Nero is in bed, but is not sleeping he's staring at the ceiling he's been so depressed since Gemma was taken to jail, he wishes he could change this turn of events so much, he wants her back with him, to hold her, to make her happy again, to kiss her, make love to her, just everything.
It was weeks earlier when he received a letter from her, but hasn't had the strength to open and read it because he's so been so devastated and depressed, but he has kept the letter with him at all times now it's clutched on his chest, he slowly sat up in his bed the letter falls down onto the bed in between his legs picking up the envelope his hands shake a bit as he slowly opens the envelope that's when he notices little drops of water on the page with the letter and that's when he realized she had been crying when she was writing the letter. After a brief moment of just staring at it blankly he begins reading it.
Dear Nero,
As I'm sitting here in my cell I think about you all the time I know I said what I did, but I can't help, but still love you so much you made me happy and you changed me I just can't just forget that or you. Look I can't live with what I've done...I just can't and I don't know what to do. I wish I could go back and change it, but I can't. I loved Tara very much, you're the only one who knows the truth about what happened even though I can barely remember anything from that night. Please stay close to Jax and my grand babies okay and take care of them for me. Jax loves you and needs you. I want you with me all the time, to hold you, to make love, kiss passionately...until then please take care of yourself and we'll be back together. I love you, baby. (my pimp daddy) I'll wait for you...♡ Gemma
He closes the letter smiling sadly, but at the same time a bit happy thinking about all the great memories they had done before everything went down – their time was only his and theirs no one can ever take that away, but tears are also in his eyes wanting them to be together once again desperately yearning for her – to be at the farm away from Charming and all the bad that comes with the town instead being happy without a care in their world. When he told he'd wait for her he meant it – And she will too.
The End
