AN- This is very fluffy and I promise that there will be drama in the next chapter. I wanted to put Jax and Eve in a good place before I rock the boat. Anywho please review and favorite. Remember do not hesitate to ask me any questions!
Disclaimer- I do not own SOA or the song by 3 Doors Down. I only own my OCs.
Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
And when the last one falls
When it's all said and done
It gets hard but it won't take away my love
Here without you baby – 3 Doors Down
After dinner at the clubhouse, Jax, Eve, the dog and the kids finally made it home. Eve was very happy to have her family home. Being around everyone reminded her of when she first came to Charming. No one was fighting and they were all getting along. When they pulled into the drive way, both Abel and Layla had fallen asleep. Jax took Abel while Eve grabbed Layla. Once both were in pajamas and in bed Eve and Jax sat together in the living room.
"I really like what you've done with the house." Jax said as he looked around
"Yeah right, you do not. I got rid of most of your ugly man décor." Eve laughed
"Well, yeah. But I really like this huge couch you got." Jax said as he moved closer to Eve
"Are you trying to break it in Jackson?"
"Yes, Jenevieve, I am."
As Jax held Eve against him after thoroughly breaking in the new dark brown leather sectional she had just gotten 2 weeks ago, Eve couldn't help but think that maybe she should tell Jax about running into Tara. She really didn't want to ruin the perfect moment they were having, but she just kept seeing that bitch's face in her head.
"I have to tell you something." Eve said as she sat up
Jax laughed "What? Did you break the prison clause rule?"
"Shut up. I ran into someone at the hospital yesterday when I took Abel for his check up."
"Who?"
"Tara Knowles." Eve winced
"Seriously? At ?"
"Yeah, she was filling in for Dr. Namid. Found out that Abel's last name was Teller and kinda skirted around the subject. Said she went to school with a Teller. I asked if it was you and she said yes and then asked who I was and said that I looked a bit young. Then she told me who she was. She even had to nerve to ask me if I was Abey's biological mother because she saw all his medical records." Eve was pacing around the living room at this point
"Baby, calm down."
"I told her to stay away from you."
"Evie, you are the mother of my children, and the only women I want and will ever want." Jax said as he walked over to Eve and placed his hand on her shoulders
"You didn't see the determination in her eyes when I told her to stay away from you. She came back for you."
"I was going to wait until tomorrow to ask you this, but this seems like the right time." Jax sighed and walked over to where he had put his cut down and took a small paper bag out of the pocket
"Jackson, if that's what I think it is, I'm going to kill you."
"Jeez, wait until you see if first."
Jax pulled out a simple white gold ring with 3 small black diamonds in it.
"Mom went and got it for me. I told her that you needed something different. Black diamonds were her answer for that. If you don't like it I can get you something else." Jax said as he went down on one knee
"No Jax I love it." Eve said as tears came to her eyes
"So, will you marry me? Be my old lady?"
"Yes!" Eve said as Jax slipped the ring onto her hand
"There's 2 more parts too." Jax said as he pulled a file out of his cut
"What are those?" Eve asked as she wiped tears from her face
"Adoption papers. Wendy signed over all rights to Abel and I had Lowen get these together last week. All they need is your signature."
"Of course!"
"And here is the last part." Jax said as he handed Eve a folded piece of paper "Happy drew it for you. He said that he'd know what you wanted."
Eve unfolded the paper and reviled a drawing of a crow in flight. It wasn't like Gemma's or Lyla's. The crow looked like it was flying off of the paper straight to Eve. In the crow's claws was a chain that had an A, L, J and an anarchy symbol on it.
"The letters are your family. Hap didn't want to put everyone's initial in it." Jax laughed "We can change it if you want."
"No, Jax. Everything is perfect. I love it all."
"Hap said that he'll do it tomorrow morning if you want."
"Yeah and you'll be able to see if during the wedding. My dress doesn't cover where I want it."
"Better not be a tramp stamp and I hope that dress covers enough." Jax said as Eve pulled him towards the bedroom.
"Don't you worry about a thing."
The next morning Eve left Jax with the kids and went over to the clubhouse so Hap could start. He was able to finish it by the time she had to go over to Ope's to help Lyla get ready and change into her dress. When Eve pulled into their drive way Ellie, Kenny and Piper were running around the yard.
"You three need to go in and get cleaned up and changed please." Eve yelled to them
"Can I play with Layla?" Ellie asked
"She is just about to go down for a nap, but you can when she wakes up." Eve said as she walked into the house carrying Layla
"Ly? Where are you?" Eve yelled
"Bedroom!"
Eve walked into the room to see Lyla sitting at her vanity finishing up her makeup. Her dress was hanging on the closet door and Eve's was next to it.
"So, let me them!" Lyla said as she took Layla from Eve and laid her down in the middle of the bed
"See what?"
"Your crow and your ring, duh!"
"You can wait till I change to see it and I didn't wear my ring today. This is your's and Ope's day. Wait how do you know about those?"
"Ope. I know about the adoption too." Layla said was she handed Eve her dress.
"Jax is going to kill me for wearing this dress. Lyla you don't buy bridesmaid dresses at Frederick's of Hollywood." Eve said as she walked into the bathroom
"Well, I do and Jax is going to want to jump you as soon as he sees you. You'll be thanking me later." Lyla said as she touched up her makeup
"Yeah right, I just had a kid. I look like a whale in this." Eve said as she stepped out in the red mini. The chest had a key hole cut out and was embellished with a sort of black lace. The back was completely open and as Eve turned around her new tattoo was on full display.
"Oh my gosh, that is amazing!" Lyla said looking at Eve's crow
"It's still a bit red, but Hap said I would be fine tonight." Eve said as she spun in the mirror. The crow stretched across the top of her back, the tip of its wings came to the very edge of her shoulders, slightly wrapping around to the side of her arms.
"I still think I needed to lose more weight." Eve said as she slipped on her black platform pumps, they were her favorite pair of heels.
"I think the bride is supposed to be saying that." Lyla said as she stepped into the bathroom to change.
"Are you kidding me? You are a twig my friend." Eve laughed. "You look amazing Ly."
"You think?" Lyla said as she stepped out of the bathroom
"I know. Come on; let's go to your wedding!"
As Jax stood at the altar next to his best friend, he watched as Kenny, Piper and his son walked towards them pulling his daughter in a wagon. He was so proud of Eve for doing such an amazing job with them while he was inside. Just then, he looked up to see Eve walking down the aisle towards him in a stunning red dress that was a bit short for his liking in public. He couldn't see the crow yet, but it seemed like everyone else could. Juice, the ever loving goof, yelled "finally". As Eve took her place opposite him, she turned and across her entire back was his crow. Happy had really out done himself on this one. The simple black crow stood out and the red letters seemed to complete the entire piece. As Lyla made her way up to Opie, Eve's smile grew wider and wider. Jax couldn't wait until it was them up here.
Everyone had spent the last few hours dancing and drinking. Eve seemed to enjoy the wine a bit too much and was currently attempting to tango with Bobby, who was equally in the bag. Most of the guys had come up to him and asked if they could dance with her, even Juice. Clay later explained that it was because she was officially his old lady now and that came first to the guys. Some of the guys had just gone and dealt with the Russians and it seemed that everyone else was starting to file out. Just as Jax got up to collect Eve to head home, that old 3 Doors Down song from her senior prom came across the speakers.
"Jackson, I believe that this would be our song." Eve said as she ran up to him and pulled him out on the floor
"You pick this song out of all the songs in the world?" Jax teased
"Yes, this was playing when I fell in love with you."
"I love you too."
"Good, now twirl me." Eve laughed
"Yeah, I think it's about time we head home. Gemma has the kids and I haven't completely showed you how much I missed you."
"In that case, let's go home!"
