About 6 years earlier

„Are you ready?", Gemma asked as she entered the backroom of the chapel. Chibs turned towards her, closing the buttons on his white shirt.

„Almost. Hey Gem, which tie is better? Black and blue or white, red and green?"

Gemma walked closer and pointed on the tie in his left hand. „Alright then."

„I got that." Gemma said and took the tie from his hand to lay it around his neck and start tying it. Chibs kept his head up and his gaze caught the clock on the wall.

„Is he already here?", he asked nervously. He looked down a little to see Gemma shake her head slightly.

„I'm sure he arrives any second.", she assured him. Chibs nodded.

He took a deep breath when Gemma had finished tying and looked in the mirror. He looked really good. Black tuxedo and shoes, tie, his hair nicely combed back. Everything was set but one thing was missing: the groom. Well, the other one.

He and Gemma had stood quiet for a couple of seconds til the door swung open and Tara came in with a phone in her hand.

„Chibs, Juice just called. He will at least need 30 more minutes. He said it's still too complicated to explain on the phone and I asked him VERY nice."

Chibs sighed and let himself fall in the big leather arm chair next to the mirror. „Aye. Thanks Tara."

He turned to Gemma after Tara had left.

„I guess we have some more time to freak out then, haven't we?" he asked jokingly, but Gemma could clearly hear the disappointment in his voice.

„He'll show up, you know that." Gemma assured him again. „Wouldn't be that dumb and miss his own wedding, would he?"

Chibs smirks. „He will probably get his arse killed on the way here how I know him."

The present day

It's 8.30 at the Telford-Ortiz house. Juice is busy making breakfast while Chibs is out to take Tommy and Elisabetta to day-care. He loves the slightly scared looks he gets from some of the other parents when he appears there with his cut, a gun's and knife's silhouette beneath. Although his appearance is softened by a blonde haired boy on his left hand and a little girl with lots of black locks up on his right arm. As soon as Chibs steps in, Tommy is off his hand, running to his friends and grabbing a toy motorcycle. Elisabetta though always clings to Chibs or Juice in the morning, burying her face in their cuts and starting to cry as soon as they go down on their knees to let her go.

As Chibs is finally able to leave, Juice is already done with breakfast, fills coffee in a cup to-go for Chibs and heads out to his bike in the garage. While locking the door, Chibs arrives at the driveway with the car.

„We're pretty late. Ela didn't want to let go, did she?" Juice asks as they settle on their bikes.

„Exactly. The teacher had to get Tommy to her group so that she finally stopped crying and clinging to me."

Juice sighs amused. „Business as usual."

The two put on their helmets and push the dyna's out of the garage.

„Eh, what's the date today? I think Jax had settled a meeting soon. The 12th?" Juice asks. Chibs quickly looks over to the calendar in their garage.

„No, the 13-" Chibs stops and gives Juice a surprised look. „-nth.", he finishes.

„Fuck, it's our fucking wedding anniversary!" Juice yells and covers his shocked expression with his hand.

„Oh my!" Chibs says and gets off his bike to pull Juice in a hug. „6 years, Juicy!"

Juice smiles brightly as Chibs pulls him up to press their lips together. Juice locks his hands behind Chibs' neck to hold him close. He eventually pulls away to look Juice in the eyes.

„I love you, Juice. I love you!" He kisses him again. „6 years ago you said yes! And the year before, and the year before."

„Having one day for all anniversaries is really practical but we are still able to forget it!", Juice jokes and hugs Chibs once again.

„Man, that was a crazy day! I will never forget what you did for me that day, Juicy."

Juice grins smugly. „Blow you on the porch because you couldn't until we were in the bedroom?"

Chibs lets out a laughter and shakes his head. „No, not that. But yeah, that was also pretty good." Now Juice laughs.

„No, I mean before the wedding." Chibs says and smiles.

The wedding day

Juice and Tig had been waiting at the airport in Stockton for 30 minutes now and they became impatient. Juice had been walking around while Tig simply stood still with both hands on his hips.

„How much time do we have left til the ceremony starts?" Juice asked and Tig looked at his watch. „It' supposed to start in roughly an hour but I guess it won't before you get there. Unless it's that kind of busy priest that leaves after 10 minutes of waiting."

Juice turned around to him. „That's totally helping me now, Tig! Thanks awfully!"

Tig laughed and walked towards him to put and arm around his shoulder. „She will show up. We heard the plane landing and she will come walking out every second."

„I hope so." Juice said.

The minutes passed by and still no sign of her.

„Hey, Tig? Can I talk to you about something?" Tig spun around and sat on the bench next to Juice. „What is it?"

„You know, Chibs and I actually want to announce this tonight, at the reception, but I can't wait, I have to tell someone!"

Suddenly, a sad expression spread out on Tig's face. „Are you two gonna move away or something? Leave the club?" he asked.

„What? No."Juice said and smiled. „No worries, we will stay."

Tig was visibly relieved and patted Juice's shoulder.

„But," Juice continued. „we might spend a little less time with the club the next year."

He looked at Tig, who had been looking at him the whole time, and smiled brightly.

„We are having a baby."

„Oh my god!", yelled a woman's voice behind the two. Juice and Tig jumped up from the bench to face a tall and beautiful woman with a mass of black locks and a huge smile spread over her face.

The chapel had slowly filled with the club and family members and the wedding would start in 5 minutes. Chibs was now alone in the backroom, fearing that he would have gotten cold feet because his last call was already 40 minutes ago. If he hadn't forgotten his phone at home he could at least text him.

Suddenly Tara burst in, waving her phone. „Juice and Tig are in Charming. They will need 5 minutes!"

Chibs felt unbelievebly relieved hearing that. But all of a sudden the nervousness came up again.

„Is everybody else here then?"

Tara turned around to look at the guests and then back to nod. „Everybody who's not here is outside smoking."

„Did you ask Venus if she knows what Juice and Tig are up to?" Chibs asked. Tara shook her head.

„I did ask her but she wouldn't say a word. She would probably freak out completely if she didn't know why Tig doesn't show up. I also asked Jax but he doesn't know anything either."

„Thanks Tara, I would definitely freak out if you wouldn't do that for me!"

„Nah, I'm just answering the telephone and tell you what Juice said."

Tara was about to leave as they heard bikes pull up outside.

„It must be them!" she said and ran outside. From outside, Bobby opened the door and leaned in.

„Tell everyone to get ready. Juice and Tig an- are here." he said and the others from outside came in and took seat.

And as Chibs took a step outside the backroom he at first saw Tig coming in who sat next to Venus.

Then his husband-to-be in a fantastically looking dark blue tuxedo.

And then Chibs felt as if his heart stopped because the last person entering the chapel was no other than his beautiful and grown up daughter.

"Kerianne."
