Sorry about the update delay, I had this whole wedding written out then lost the doc when my computer crashed... So I had to rewrite it, this is part one, I'll have the second part up in a day or so. I just didn't want to put out a 10000 word chapter. lol
Noelle smiled as she stood on the front porch of the cottage and watched the people buzz around the vineyard, setting up for her wedding. Her wedding to the love of her life, Jackson Teller. She couldn't help but smile, her dimples present as she felt her stomach flutter with butterflies. She was over the moon with excitement. She was about to make a lifelong commitment and she still couldn't believe that Jax even proposed. They had come along way from drunken kisses in a dark corner at a house party to being parents to two children.
"You can still run." Melody wrapped her arms around Noelle's shoulders and laughed. "I'll help you take off, create a diversion."
The brunette shook her head. "Don't wanna run… Well, I wanna run down the aisle and marry my man but that's about it." She laughed and turned around to face her sister. "I'm so excited and nervous… I woke up with butterflies and almost got sick."
"Wedding jitters." Melo smiled and ran her fingers through her sister's hair. "You're looking gorgeous though." She touched the floral crown on top of Noelle's head.
"I'm so hoping my nature goddess shows through with this whole makeup and hair thing… I want him to look at me and be even more in love than before." Noelle shook her head and smiled. "Thanks for this though, I couldn't have even done this makeup and hair without you."
"It's going to look perfect all put together… We have what? Four hours until the big walk down the aisle?" Melody pulled her sister back into the house. "We have to start to get ready, Janelle is still napping… She'll be the last one we dress. I love these photographers though, they're literally documenting every moment."
"I know… They're amazing." The brunette smiled at the photographers as she walked into the room where she would be getting ready. "I'm still in shock that this day is actually happening right now… I'm so happy and blessed. I honestly never thought it would become this serious between Jax and I."
"I'm here." Blair walked into the room and smiled at the two brunettes before moving to hug the both of them. "I'm excited to see you in your gown my love." She kissed Noelle's forehead and smiled.
"The Queen has arrived." Noelle smirked at her mom, watching as she set her garment bag on the bed next to hers. "I'm excited to see me in my gown as well… Hell, I'm just excited for this all to be happening. I'm sure Jax is off having fun with his brothers and I hope he's not corrupting Abel too badly."
"You should be getting ready dear." The blonde pulled her daughter to her feet. "It's better to be ready early in case something goes wrong, like you get a run in your stockings."
The brunette nodded. "I'm not wearing stockings." She shook her head and moved away from her mom and to her dress. "I have nice legs and no one even wears stockings anymore to be frank with you. Call them tights anyway." She unzipped the bag. "Help me with this, I am too shaky to be putting this on myself."
Melody nodded and moved towards her older sister. "We need to remember to cover your face if you're pulling your dress over your head… Don't wanna mess up the make up and don't want to get any on the dress."
Noelle nodded her head slowly before stripping down to her bra and panties. "This is really happening." She stepped into the skirt of the dress and frowned at the way it fit her more snuggly than before. "Fuck my life, I've gained weight!" She groaned, crossing her fingers that the lace top would still fit her perfectly.
"Shut up, you're still tiny as ever." Melo helped her into the top and smiled as she took a step back. "Well excuse me because your dress is perfect and you're giving off bohemian, hippie, mother nature, Coachella festival attendee."
The brunette laughed and nodded. "I'm loving this dress." She moved towards the mirror and examined herself. "You guys, you don't think this is too simple right?"
Blair shook her head. "It's perfect Noelle. I love it way more than the original dress we had bought and picked out. This one is you, this one fits the venue. This one is just perfect on you." She wiped at her eyes and smiled. "Jax is going to love you in this."
Noelle smiled and hugged her mom. "I'm so nervous about this." She pulled away and sighed. "You two need to get ready, I'm going to try to wake up sleeping beauty and get her ready. You're going to die when you see her dress."
Melody watched Noelle disappear out of the room before closing the door and turning to Blair. "So, which one of us is going to tell Noe that she's pregnant?"
Blair laughed and shook her head. "She'll figure it out eventually when the day is over but the nausea feeling stays with her. It's not our place to tell her. Let's just allow her to enjoy the day and have a memorable wedding night."
"I wonder if they'll be happy about the newest addition to the family." Melody pulled on her dress and smiled at her reflection. "Thank God for a bride with fashion sense. Am I right?" She placed her floral crown on her head and secured into place as Noelle walked back in with a groggy Janelle on her hip. "Oh look at the little princess."
"She's got her father's grumpiness." Noelle set the tiny brunette on the bed and smiled. "You ready to get all dolled up and see daddy?"
"No!" Janelle shook her head and kicked her legs. "No!"
"But it's daddy, he wants to see you looking all cute." Noelle glared down at her daughter. "Come on Janelle, don't be difficult."
"You're not supposed to bargain with a damn toddler." Blair pushed Noelle out of the way. "You're going to put on your dress, your shoes, let Melody do your hair… No bargaining here." She crossed her arms and looked at her granddaughter. "You're gonna let your mommy put the dress on, got it?"
"No!" Janelle shook her head. "No! I want Happy!"
"Well, that was a plot twist." Noelle grabbed her phone off of the dresser. "I'll get Happy over here, I don't want to fight with grumpy face and I don't feel like being kicked when she decides to pitch a fit. I look phenomenal."

Jax shrugged into suit jacket and looked at his reflection in the mirror before sliding it back off and tossing it onto the dresser. "I can't believe we're close to making his official. Second times the charm." He shook his head and looked towards the door as Happy walked back in, Janelle at his feet. "That's where you were summoned to?"
Happy shrugged. "She wouldn't listen to her mom and kept giving Blair lip." He flicked Janelle's ear before she ran towards Jax.
Jax picked up Janelle and kissed her forehead. "You being difficult? Where's your dress at huh? I thought you were going to be the flower girl."
"I got the dress." Happy held up the bag and tossed it to Opie. "You two are getting her ready… I'm just here for moral support." He chuckled before sitting down next to Opie.
"No." Janelle shook her head and wagged a little finger in her dad's face. "No dress!"
"You gotta wear a dress for me." Jax tossed her into the air, smiling when she started to giggle. "You have to wear your dress, it'll be fun." He set her on her feet and brushed her hair out of her face. "Opie, toss me the dress."
"I can't believe she's crashing the guys' suite." Opie looked at the tiny brunette and smiled. "You excited Janelle?"
"No!" Janelle looked at him before turning her back to him. "Juice! Juice! Juice!"
"Did someone call my name?" Juice walked into the room and picked up the little girl. "How's my favorite Teller?"
"Juice!" Janelle giggled and patted his cheeks. "Juice!"
"We'll never know if she ever wants actual juice or if she wants Juice." Opie shook his head. "We're trying to get her dressed."
"I'll help!" Abel finally spoke up. "She usually listens to me."
"Abel!" Janelle toddled to her older brother. "Some juice!"
Abel shook his head. "We'll get juice after you put your clothes on." He held up the dress and showed it to her. "It's like mommy's dress."
Jax smiled at his kids before taking the dress and picking up Janelle. He quickly switched her into her dress before placing her headband on her head. "You look like a princess." He set her down and watched her move back to Abel. "We'll get her juice but we need to put a bag on her or some shit. Noe would kill us if she got grape juice on her dress."
"No grape." Janelle tugged on Jax's shirt and held her arms in the air. "Up! Up!"
"What do you need darlin'?" He looked at his daughter and smiled at how perfect she looked. He could only imagine what'd Noelle look like. "You just wanna be carried?" He chuckled as she nodded her head. "I figured."
"I just came over from the girls' suite… They have more food than us." Kozik held up a tray of food. "I swiped one… I never seen Blair get so angry so fast. Jax, man you're in for a real fucking treat when you see Noe." He set the tray down and patted Jax on the back. "You ready for this?"
Jax nodded. "Yeah I'm ready for it. I have my vows written… Don't be mean to Blair either, she's my new mom. I'll kick your ass if you make her mad again." He smirked at Kozik before looking back at his daughter who was playing with his tie. "Where's Chibs?"
"He's outside with Tara…" Juice grimaced as soon as the sentence left his mouth. "She's his plus one."
"Figures." He shrugged as he brushed Janelle's unruly hair out of her face. "What am I supposed to do with your hair kid? You think you want a ponytail or something?"
"No." Janelle shook her head. "Mommy!"
Jax nodded. "I'll walk you over to your mommy." He moved through the crowd of his brothers and out of the room. His blue eyes landing on Chibs and Tara, he gave the couple a friendly wave before continuing to his destination. "I'm nervous kid. I didn't think I'd ever be getting married, never thought I'd have a family besides the club but here we are. I have a son, daughter and I'm about to marry the love of my life. This is scary." He smiled at the brunette who was back playing with his tie. "Remember, stay as far away from guys like me when you grow up… They won't all turn out to be decent."
"Hug?" She wrapped her arms around his neck and squeezed. "Juice now!"
He chuckled, admiring the innocence of his daughter who only ever seemed to want juice or her mom. "Your mom will give you some." He knocked on the door. "It's me, I'm dropping off Janelle, she wanted you Noelle."
Noelle stuck her head out of the room and smiled. "You're not supposed to be anywhere near me. I hear it's bad luck." She eyed him carefully before opening the door a little wider to allow Janelle to toddle inside the room. "I'll see you in about fifteen minutes at the altar… I love you Jackson."
"I love you too Noelle." Jax smiled at her. "Cherish these last fifteen minutes of being a Montague."

Jax stood next to the officiant, his hands moving nervously at his sides as he listened to Opie, Chibs and Happy joke and laugh next to him. It was time. Finally he was making Noelle his wife, he was nervous and excited. His nerves on edge as he watched as Blair walked up the aisle, Melody right behind her before Abel started his walk. A smile on the young child's face as he carried the pillow that held the wedding bands. "Thanks Abel." Jax smiled down at him as he moved off to the side. The music changing as Janelle did her best to walk down the aisle and toss flowers.
"Thank God she's beautiful because she can't multitask for shit." Happy shook his head.
"She's two." Jax defended his daughter, laughing as she sat down half way down the aisle, the basket in front of her as she happily threw the flowers all around her. "Jesus Christ…" He shook his head, moving down the aisle to grab the tiny brunette. "Gotta stay with me, your mom is coming down the aisle." He brushed her curls out of her face as he took a deep breath as the music started playing. "Here she comes."
Noelle held her breath as she started her walk down the aisle, her eyes fixed on Jax who was holding Janelle. "I'm not gonna cry yet." She exhaled, counting her steps so she would trip and fall flat on her face.
"Wow." Opie nudged Jax in his side. "She looks gorgeous."
"She does." Jax nodded in agreement as he smiled like a fool, watching his soon to be wife stop at the altar. "You look phenomenal." He moved Janelle to his other side as he grabbed Noelle's hand and rubbed over her knuckles.
The brunette nodded and squeezed his hand tightly. "I'm trying my hardest not to cry yet." She laughed and looked at him before the officiant.
He stared at her, completely entranced by her beauty. Her dress was everything he thought it'd be. The long flowing skirt and the lace crop top embodied everything that she was. Simple and gorgeous. It was perfect, she was perfect and in a matter of minutes, she was going to be his forever. Take his last name and allow him to introduce her as his wife and not just his girlfriend anymore. She has made him less of an outlaw and more of a man and that was something he needed to thank her for. He needed to thank her for saving him during his darkest time and never leaving his side since.
"The couple has written their own vows." The officiant smiled at the couple. "Jackson, you're first."
Jax nodded, turning to face Noelle who was smiling at him, a tear rolling down her cheek occasionally. "I guess this is where my brothers are going to find out I have this sensitive side. I just hope they don't give me too much hell for it, all I'm trying to do is tell my lady how much she means to me…" He smirked.
"We know about it already!" Opie yelled.
He chuckled and looked back at his best friend. "Well, I guess I need to be better at keeping secrets." He turned back to Noelle and smiled again, reaching out to wipe away the tears rolling down her face. "Noe, I guess I need to start off by thanking you. For being there when I needed someone outside of the club to talk to, for being able to tell when I needed to talk or when I just needed to be left alone to sort through shit, for always being able to put a smile on my face without fail, for being an amazing best friend, turned love of my life. I couldn't ask for a better woman to spend the rest of my days with and raise a couple of kids with. I love you Noelle."
Noelle smiled and nodded, wiping at her eyes. "Way to make me cry like a fool babe…" She laughed and took a deep breath before exhaling. "Well, you're welcome… I honestly never thought we'd be getting married. When I first met you, you were just the handsome guy who walked into a party. Never in a million years did I think we'd end up being best friends, let alone fall in love with each other. I'm glad it happened though, I couldn't imagine there being a better man for me than you. The past few years have been wonderful, although a few of them have been an emotional rollercoaster, from finding out about Janelle to welcoming Abel into the family. I'll have to say it's been a time I will never forget. We've built an amazing relationship, it's strong, it's been tested on more than one occasion and we've proven to everyone that we can keep it together and come out even stronger than before. I couldn't have gotten through the death of my dad without you by my side… Hell, because of you I've met some of the most amazing guys ever. Happy, Opie, Chibs, Kozik, and even Juice… I mean the list can go on, you know how amazing your brothers are." She smiled. "I look forward to many more years of happiness and adventures with you. I know our love is only going to become greater and stronger. I'm just blessed that we have such an amazing support system behind us now. We've gotten rid of those working against us. I love you Jackson."
"By the power vested in me by the state of California." The officiant began. "I know pronounce you husband and wife, Jackson, you may kiss the bride."
Jax moved forward and pulled Noelle tight to him before kissing her, smirking as he heard the guests cheer for them. "Mrs. Teller."
"Mr. Teller." Noelle smiled back at him as she lost her bouquet of flowers to Janelle.
"May I introduce you to Mr. and Mrs. Jackson Teller." The officiant clapped and smiled at the couple.
"Come on." Noelle grabbed Abel's hand before her and Jax started to walk back down the aisle and towards the reception hall. "I can't believe it, we're married and now I get to see you dance!"
He shook his head, trying to place Janelle on her feet without any luck. "It's like she's velcroed to my side…"
The brunette laughed. "It's cute babe, it's like you're the daddy monkey and she's the little baby monkey that won't let go." She pressed a kiss to his cheek. "So, do you love this dress? Or do you love this dress?"
"I love it, you look perfect." Jax smirked. "I guess we need to let the guests in so they can start drinking and having a grand ol' time. The ceremony was mostly for us anyway, Mrs. Teller."
Noelle nodded. "Let them drink and be merry… I'm going to find my mom, I heard her crying behind us. I know she's emotional today."

Jax smiled as he watched Noelle dance around the dance floor with Abel and Janelle. The smiles and laughter alone made the headache of a wedding worth it. There in front of him was his family, his happy carefree family. "This couldn't have gone down any better." He looked at Opie who was sipping a beer.
"They're happy." Opie leaned forward and patted his best friend on the back. "You made that happen… You get to get out of this shit and start over soon. You ready for that?"
He nodded slowly. "I've been an outlaw so long, I know I'll have some trouble adjusting to living outside of Charming and away from the club. I'm willing to try it though, for those three. For my dad."
"At least you don't have to worry about anyone trying to stop you from doing so." Opie smiled. "You're free to leave… Nothing will stop you. Gemma won't be able to stop you from making your move anymore."
"Hey! Babe! Jax! Jackson!" Noelle yelled. "Come dance with us! I need to see if you can actually move!"
"That's my cue… I'll be back." Jax set his drink on the table and moved towards his wife and children. "Are you ready to be put to shame?" He grabbed Noelle's hands and pulled her close to him. "I can groove… I have the hips for it."
"Yeah you do." She laughed as they started to move back and forth to the slow music. "This is what I wanted… A wedding that our daughter could be part of, even though she was a hot mess as the flower girl but that was to be expected. She's two but have you gotten a preview of those pictures? They're absolutely stunning. Really caught the colors of her eyes." She smiled as she watched Janelle try to dance while keeping her crown on her head.
"She's our hot mess." He looked at their daughter who had completely given up on the crown staying on her head. "She's going to give us hell when she's older. I can already see it now." He kissed the brunette and smirked. "I'm so ready for tonight…"
"I don't even think you'll be able to handle anything I have for you tonight." Noelle tugged on the front of his shirt and kissed him, dragging her teeth gently over his bottom lip before sucking on it. "It's going to be a night to remember."
Jax groaned and rubbed her lower back. "You're so gonna get it Noe. You know how I hate being teased like that..." He pulled away from her and smirked. "I'm betting that I'll love whatever is under that dress of yours…"
She shrugged. "Who says I'm even wearing anything under this dress?" She winked at him before backing up. "You just ponder over that while I grab myself a drink." She turned away from him and moved towards the bar. "I'll have a water please." She smiled at the bartender who gave her a weird look. "Saving the wine drinking for later…"
"Hey Noelle… Your wedding was absolutely gorgeous." Tara looked at the bride and smiled tightly. "Can I talk to you for a moment?"
"Uh, yeah sure." Noelle nodded and moved closer to Tara, trying to figure out what she could have to talk about. "What's up?"
"It's about Gemma…" Tara started before stopping at the look the young woman was giving her. "I know this is not the place or time to bring her up but she's barely hanging on and I think it's only right if Jax is there for the last moments, no matter what shit she's been doing."
The brunette scoffed and crossed her arms. "Tara, you've completely lost your fucking mind for bringing this up. It's not your position to try to mend that fucked up relationship. You're stupid if you think Gemma doesn't deserve her family turning their backs on her. Look at what she did, she was so bent on making everything in the twisted vision she had that she pushed everyone away. I'm not going to go to my husband and tell him to sit at her bedside while she may or may not slip away in the middle of the night… If Jax wants to be with her while she's on her death bed then that's his decision to make."
"They were close before you came into the picture…" Tara mumbled before starting to walk away, only to feel Noelle pull on her hair. "Ouch, what the fuck Noelle?"
"Don't you ever blame Gemma going crazy on me… Crazy like that doesn't just happen overnight." Noelle tightened her grip on Tara's hair. "I suggest you fucking leave my reception before I have security toss your ass out. You got that Doc?" She pushed Tara's head away before regaining her composure. This was her wedding day and she was not about to allow some brainwashed doctor get the best of her. She was going to stay calm, collected, and excited about what the rest of the evening and night held for her and her new husband.
