Tara Parker

Tara is the mother of Jennifer.

History
Tara came into the ER in search of her daughter, Jennifer. She'd tracked Jenny's phone to find her at the hospital. Unbeknownst to her, Jenny was pregnant. Jenny told her doctors she didn't want to tell her mother she was pregnant, so they said had had abdominal pain and was going for a CT.

The CT revealed a splenic artery aneurysm, but they said the bleeding had stopped. Jenny was given the option for surgery to prevent it from bleeding again, but she didn't want to tell her mom she was pregnant, so she decided to watch and wait instead.

They told Tara about what Jenny had decided, but she wanted to know what the doctors thought. Arizona admitted that she recommended surgery, so Tara said she wanted the surgery. April mentioned risks and then said she could lose the baby if she had surgery, revealing that Jenny was pregnant

Tara confronted Jenny about the baby and keeping it from her. Jenny said she knew that she had ruined her mother's life, because her mother had spent her whole life telling her not to repeat her mistakes.

During an exam, Jenny's pressure bottomed out. Arizona did an ultrasound and determined that the aneurysm had ruptured, so she was rushed into surgery. In surgery, they had to remove her spleen to stop the bleeding.

Jenny was stable and awake after her surgery. Tara came to her and said that she should have told her instead of suffering and being scared alone.

Familial
She put a lot of pressure on her daughter not to make the same mistakes she had. Their relationship was strained because Jenny believed her mother saw her as a mistake.
