It's been a year since Jax and Tara found each other again. They spent the year getting to know each other all over. They were pretty much the same just with some differences. Jax was the president of the MC and Tara was the Head neonatal specialist, now at .
It took no time for Tara to settle back into her home town. Jax had bought them a house right away and Tara busied herself decorating it and settling them in, while Jax busied himself with turning the MC legal.
They were both extremely happy, in their own little happy bubble. Tara was now planning her wedding and was making sure it was the biggest and best MC wedding anyone had ever seen. Jax wanted her to have everything she wanted so he hardly objected. He only spoke his preference when it came to his outfit, the food and the booze. Tara took his ideas and incorporated everything he wanted. She wanted this day to be for the both of them not just her.
When the day had finally arrived Tara was a ball of nerves. She wanted everything to go as planned and everything to be perfect. Of course her mother in law was a huge help in getting her ready and making sure things were running smoothly.
"Alright, sweetheart, time to get you into your dress" Gemma tells Tara who was sitting in an RV they had rented for the day. The reception would be at the club house but the ceremony would take place under a large red wood tree that sat in the middle of the meadow they loved so much. They both thought it would be appropriate to exchange their vows in the exact place they exchanged their love for each other.
Gemma held Tara's dress and helped her slipped into it. It was an off the shoulder, sweetheart neckline, that hugged her curves before flowing down around her.
Gemma helped button her up with a small smile on her face. She always pictured this. She always imagined Tara and Jax getting married. Even after Tara left she knew of the promise She had made and she knew Tara would follow threw. She was beyond ecstatic when She came back to Jax, as promised. She welcomed her with open arms and helped Tara in reclaiming everything that once belonged to her. She coached Tara in how to be the SamCro queen and was proud of the woman She had become. She couldn't wait till her babies started to have babies of their own. Especially since she suspected Tara was keeping a little secret.
When Gemma was done she turned her daughter-in-law around and looked at her "Your perfect" she smiled as she smoothed down her dress then took her hands. "I'm so glad this day is happening for the two of you. I never had any doubt that it would but I'm glad it's finally here. I want you to know, sweetheart, that I see you as my daughter. I love you" she leans in and gives her a big hug then pulls away leaving a kiss on her cheek.
"I love you to, Gemma. I'm happy I'm finally going to be a Teller. This has been a long time coming" Tara laughs and moves to look at herself in the mirror. She's dreamed of this day for so long, she's ecstatic it's finally happening. She expected to feel nervous or get cold feet but she felt nothing but pure bliss.
A heavy knock was heard at the door and Tara's smile grew. "Ready?" Gemma asked and Tara nodded enthusiastically.
Leaving the trailer she was greeted by Piney. He was going to walk her down the make shift isle they had created. He had been the closest thing to a father she had. Her shoulder to lean on when things were bad with her own father. He saved her so many times, helped her so many times and introduced her to the love of her life. She owed him a lot, asking him to walk her down the isle was just the tip of the ice burg of what she owed him.
"Hey there darlin" Piney greeted her with a smile and held out his hand to help her down the 3 little stairs. "You look beautiful baby girl"
"Thanks, Piney" she kisses his cheek and links her arm with his.
The walk is short but she takes time to marvel at the beautiful decorations before her. Their tree is littered in hanging white lights, the grass she walks on is covered in white, red and black rose petals that leads her to her man.
Standing at the head of the isle Tara, looks around for a moment. Marveling at the guest. Her meadow is filled with sons and old ladies from charters across the country. Everyone has come to see Jackson get married. She tries to acknowledge each one of them but the crowd is to massive for her eyes to reach so she settles for finally looking at Jax.
Their eyes connect immediately, Just like the connection they felt as teenagers. His smile his blinding, his eyes are twinkling, He looks devilishly handsome and it takes her breath away.
The minute that Tara appeared in front of him, he couldn't take his eyes off her. His old lady, His girl, the love of his life and soon to be wife, was stunning. It took his breath away. She had this glow about her that made her look angelic, she was absolutely flawless and he couldn't wait to take her in his arms and never let her go. It was all he could do to stay in his spot and not run toward her but when her gaze finally met his, he stood rooted to the spot, to afraid to move. He didn't want this to be a dream and he didn't want to miss any move she made.
She glided toward him so elegantly it looked as if she was floating. She had this amazing smile on her face and her eyes were brimmed with un shed tears. He was sure he would brushing them away as the ceremony went on.
When she finally reached him, he held his hand out for hers and she delicately placed her hand in his. Piney stood before them and placed a kiss on her cheek before moving away "Take care of her kid, she's some kind of special" He tells Jax.
Jax finally tears his gaze away from Tara's, just to give Piney a reassuring nod "I will, I always will"
Looking back at Tara he takes both of her hands in his and brings her close to him. "Hey there, beautiful." He smirks down at her.
"Hey there, handsome" she smirks back and even when the priest clears his throats they don't pull away or look at him. They just smile each other in a goofy, I can't believe this is happening, way.
They barley hear the priest as he talks about love and how lucky they are to find it. They don't hear anything until the priest tells them it's time for their vows.
Tara goes first. She wrote it down a million times. Everything she wanted to Jax but no words were enough. She had to settle for things she hoped he already knew.
"I can still remember the day we met" she closed her eyes as the images passed threw her mind like a movie. "You were working on your bike, so concentrated, so focused, you didn't even hear me and piney come in and when you finally did look up your eyes snapped to mine" she opened her eyes to stare into his. "Those crystal clear ocean blue eyes that left me rooted to the spot and mesmerized from the minute I looked into them. You had me hooked ever since and that was even before Piney introduced us. I was in denial though because I was convinced we couldn't be together but you showed me everyday after our first meeting that we should be. After weeks of asking me out I finally said yes and you brought me here. We talked for hours about everything under the sun and everything over the moon and after that I knew I just couldn't let you go. I was falling for you every minute of everyday that we spent together and on this day 12 years ago I told you I loved you and you thankfully said it back." Tears were streaming down her face, while Jax was barely holding them in. He remembered everything she was talking about like it was yesterday. It was the best memories he ever had. "And then I left and that left us broken, so broken I thought I wouldn't be able to make it out of med school. I felt empty and there was only One thing I knew that would make me whole again and that was coming home and making you mine again." She runs her hand threw his hair and he closes his eyes at her touch. "I'll never love anyone the way I love you. Your the beginning to my end and I was blessed the day we met, you bring so much joy into my life and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life loving you and showing you how worth it you are. I promise to stand beside you even when the world is crumbling at your feet, I promise to support your every decision and I promise my love will with stand every obstacle that comes our way. I love you Jackson yesterday today tomorrow forever and always" when she finished she could see the un shed tears in his eyes that were shining with pride. Her ego gave itself a high five as she knew she seceded in giving an extraordinary vow speech.
Tara couldn't hold back her tears as well as Jax was trying to. Tears streamed down her face and he wiped them away after each one fell and He couldn't help but marvel at how her eyes seemed to change colors when she cried, from a deep green to a light sea green. He could see her every emotion and her every thought and praise and he hoped she could see his.
He took a deep breathe before beginning. "I remember the first day I realized I loved you. You had turned me down for weeks. Back then I didn't even know why I was being so persistent but I just knew I had to have you. You gave me a reason to smile again" she was words away from completely sobbing. She knew he was talking about one of the most difficult times in his life when he lost his brother and then his father in just a matter of a few years. It had crushed him. She could tell, even back then. "You gave me a reason to feel something anything again. It hit me like a ton of bricks when the words 'you love her' crossed my mind and then by some miracle you finally agreed to go out with me and I promised myself that I would never let you go. That I would prove to you I could be the man you deserved" she nodded her silently letting him know he didn't have to prove anything but he had, anyway. "I have never loved anyone the way that I love you. When I fell for you I had no chance of ever getting back up and I was, am completely ok with that." He pulled her a little closer and cupped her cheek "When you left I was equally devastated and proud. I was glad you left cause you were following your dream I was devastated because my heart literally left me and it didn't come back for 10 years. I felt whole when you came back, complete. All the pieces were back together and I couldn't wait till we could stand here and I would make you mine forever. You are without a doubt one of the greatest gifts I've ever gotten. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life showing you what a precious gem you are to me and proving to you that I'm worthy of , yes, I take you in sickness and in health, I take you for richer or for poorer till death do us part for as long as we both shall live because I love you Tara Grace Knowles, yesterday today forever and always." There wasn't a dry eye around them after that, Tara included, she was balling like a baby and he had to grab a napkin to help her wipe her tears away.
She couldn't understand how she got so lucky. Didn't know how she deserved such a man and for the life of her, she Couldn't believe that he loved her just as much, if not more, as she loved him but she thanked her lucky stars for him everyday and she would continue to do so for the rest of her life.
Jax continued to look into her eyes as he thanked every religion, every god or goddess that she was brought to him and then brought back to him. She was his guiding light and this moment was a long time coming everyone knew it. He was so lost in thought, he didn't even hear the minister pronounce them man and wife all he heard was the crowd pull him out of his thoughts and begin to chat "Kiss Her!" So he did.
Jax pulled his new wife into his arms, cradled her face and planted a long wet passionate kiss the deep connection they felt at that moment would last them a lifetime. Jax didn't want to pull away but knew it was time to enjoy some of the festivities planned to celebrate the newly weds. So with one last desperate kiss he pulled away and smiled down at her. "I love you, wife"
Biting her lip, she runs her finger tips along his jaw, playing with his breaded chin before kissing him once more. "I love you, husband".
Cheers and applause was heard threw out their field, so much love was surrounding them, Jax couldn't help but feel nothing but pure bliss at this moment. He had everything he wanted. His wife and his club.
"I have a gift for you" Tara whispers to him as they make their way to his bike. Everyone crowding around them, getting on bikes and in cars to make their way to the club house.
"A gift? I thought we said no gifts on the big day"
"Well I didn't listen. It's at the clubhouse. I want you to open it first thing." She smiled sweetly and he nodded seriously leaning in to give her another kiss as Gemma came over.
"Let's unhook that dress so you can climb on"
Jax looked curiously between his wife and mother "What? you didn't think that she would get on your bike in this big dress did you?" Bending down she slips a hand under her daughter in laws dress and unhooks some buttons. The pouf of the dress slides down Tara's long legs and she steps out of it to reveal a short sun dress.
Jax couldn't take his eyes of her long legs and beautiful platform heels. He couldn't wait till those legs were wrapped around him as he made love to his wife. "Get your head out of the gutter, Jackson. We have a whole party to go threw before we ship you off on your honeymoon." Gemma said sternly but playfully as she kisses her sons cheek "I'm happy for you, baby and so proud of the man you've become" he smiles at her and gives his thanks as she turns to Tara. "Welcome to the family. I'm so happy your finally apart of it and so proud to call you my daughter." Tara smiles and hugs her new mother. The women she's considered her mother for most of her life has excepted her and she couldn't be happier. "Now go on we'll follow you to the club house"
Jax hops on his bike and roars it to life as Tara gets on behind him. He looks in the review mirror and sees her smiling face as the sun bounces off her porcelain skin and his heart skips several beats before start back up.
Leaning over Tara presses a kiss to his cheek then looks around as SamCro roars their bikes to life and the old ladies hop. She feels the love radiating from her member of her forever family and she can't help but feel her heart explode. She's never had this feeling before but she loves it and she never wants to loose it.
"Ready babe?" Jax asks her as he runs his hand up her leg, feeling how velvety soft it is. Tara nods and wraps her arms around him as he revs the engine and pulls off with a long procession following him.
When They arrive at the clubhouse they are both shocked to see it decorated from head to toe. The entire lot is full of black and red roses with hanging lights and tables outside.
Gemmas sneaky self had made the crow eaters fix it up while they were at the wedding and to her great satisfaction they had done an amazing job.
Jax and Tara hopped off and looked around with smiles plastered on their faces. Thanking everyone that helped and hugging everyone that came and then the party starts. Jax and Tara find themselves dancing in the middle of a make shift dance floor he spins her and dips her making her giggle like a School girl. They cut their cake and smash into each others faces only to lick it off of each other as they laugh at how silly it all is.
When The sun starts to set Tara gently pulls Jax away from their guests and up to roof. Walking to the edge she reaches down, grabs a box and hands it to him.
He looks at it with a smile and shakes it wondering what it could be. "Just open it" she urges with a nervous smile. Popping it open his eyebrows first knit in confusion then rise practically off his. He looks from the picture frame to her then back to the frame that reads "Baby's first picture" which holds a sonogram.
"Were having a baby?" He asks and she nods tears forming in her eyes as his fingers run across the imagine of their little bean baby. He's speechless but above all he's ecstatic. Hes never felt such happiness before he wants to shout it front the mountain tops that the women he loves is giving him a little piece of the both of them.
So he does. With a kiss to her lips he takes her to the edge of the roof top and catches juices attention to get him to turn off the music. When the music goes off everyone looks up to Jax and Tara and he shouts "Were having a baby!" Everyone applauds and shouts in joy that the King and Queen of charming are having a prince or a princess. It's a happy day, everything is right in the world.
Jax pulls Tara to him as their family continues to cheer. "I love you, ."
She beams at him and runs her hands threw his hair. "I love you, " she stretches up and attaches her lips to his and doesn't come up till she needs to breathe. Bliss encounters with the man she loves and her child are all she's ever going to want and Jax fulfills all of it with out question and for that, she's forever greatful.
