A year later Chibs has seen his daughter again and ex-wife and he has even gone to vacation in Ireland. Bobby has passed away, three months after Jax and Mikaila moved to Canada. Bobby's funeral was small and only friends and family attended; he was cremated. Tig and his girlfriend Venus have become more serious and moved in together. Wendy has awoken from her coma and she moved away out of Charming to Oregon. Nero still refuses to talk to Jax except he never told anyone about Gemma and no one has found out about Gemma's death besides Mikaila, Wendy, and SAMCRO.
Jax and Mikaila have settled down in Canada. Jax has been able to help run an auto repair shop in Alberta. Mikaila ended up as an art teacher and even adopted a four year old girl named Matilda from an adoption agency. Tonight is the night Jax has planned to propose to Mikaila. They are out at a restaurant and their kids are at home being babysat.
After the dessert comes, their cheesecake, Mikaila takes a bite only to find something inside of her dessert. She moves her cheesecake apart with her fork and finds a ring. Jax gets down on one knee. The ring is white gold with crystals in it.
"You make me happier than anyone has in a long time. I want to spend every day of the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me? Please?" Jax asks her with passion.
"Yes I will. I love you," she gushes proudly.
"I love you too," he tells her meaning it more than anything he's ever said before.
They kiss and everyone around them claps and cheers with applause.
Cut to five months later- the wedding:
Jax is dressed and ready to marry his bride with his suit and tie on. He doesn't know what dress Mikaila has picked out but he knows she will look beautiful. Mikaila is getting ready and she has a white satin wedding gown with white tights and white high heels. She's wearing red lipstick with brown and gold eye shadow. Jax has a big surprise for Mikaila because he has gotten her favorite band in the world Motionless In White's Ricky Horror and Chris Motionless to do an acoustic version of Mikaila's favorite song Eternally Yours.
In attendance at the wedding is Matilda, Thomas, Abel Teller, Chibs and his ex wife and daughter, Tig, his daughter, a few other SAMCRO club members, some new friends they have made in Canada at their jobs, and Mikaila's friend from college, Sarah.
The wedding starts, Mikaila walks down the aisle with Chibs by her side, Matilda is the flower girl. She finally makes her way to Jax and they stand facing each other looking at each other longingly with love in their eyes. They know that they don't know what the future holds but they know that they will face it together and try their best.
Jax and Mikaila mouth "I love you's" to one another.
The wedding initiator: Dear friends and family, with great affection for Jackson Teller and Mikaila we have gathered together to witness and bless their union in marriage. Jax will go first with his vows.
"I have waited a long time to fill a hollow space in my heart and I want to spend my life with Mikaila and make her Mikaila Jackson, the happiest woman on earth. I know I'm not always the best guy and I know I haven't always make the best decisions in the past, but I know that she makes me a better person. I want her in my life and I need her because I will always love her. I hope I am what makes her happy because she deserves the best," he delivers passionately.
The initiator: Thank you, Jackson. Mikaila please state your vows.
"I am here today to marry my best friend and the love of my life, Jackson Teller. We have known each other for over two years so far and every day is better than the last. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me and the only constant in my life. He is the best thing in my life and I love him. I hope I can make him happy every day for the rest of my days," she delivers with passion and poise.
Initiator: Repeat after me Jackson: "I, Jackson Teller, take you, Mikaila, for my lawful wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, until death do us part."
Jax repeats the speech and then Mikaila delivers the same.
Initiator: with the power invested in me, by the province of Alberta, Canada, I now pronounce you both man and wife.
Everyone claps as Jax and Mikaila kiss each other.
Jax goes up on the stage with flowers and a microphone to deliver the news of the band playing to the audience after everyone has had food and some wedding cake.
"Everyone, may I have your attention. In attendance at the wedding today is my wife Mikaila's favorite band Motionless In White. The two members Ricky and Chris are here to perform an acoustic version of their song Eternally Yours. Please give them your applause. And Mikaila, please come up here to join me in a dance," he bellows proudly to the crowd.
Mikaila rushes up on stage as she tries to tone down her excitement. She can't hold it in though. She's beyond happy and she's so amazed this is actually happening. It's her first time meeting and seeing her favorite band live. It feels sort of like a dream to her. Ricky and Chris come up on stage with acoustic guitars.
"I would like to say thank you for having this and sharing this day with us. I want to congratulate Jax and Mikaila on their marriage. I would also like to dedicate Eternally Yours to them both. And I would also like to invite both of them to any concert of ours in the future that they want as guests for any show along with side stage access and VIP with the band," Chris tells everyone proudly.
"How did you book Motionless In White for our wedding?" Mikaila whispers to Jax.
"Don't worry about it baby," Jax responds mischievously.
Everyone claps and they start the song. Mikaila and Jax dance to the song never missing eye contact.
Eternally Yours lyrics:
Blow the bridge to the past
Wipe the fingerprints
Melt your heart encased in wax
Steal it with a kiss
Our fate engraved
Scar enslaved
As we mutually destruct
Repose, my love; I've sinned enough for the both of us
I'm ready to bury all of my bones
I'm ready to lie but say I won't
So tell me your secrets
And join me in pieces
To rot in this garden made of stones
Eternally yours
I feed like you taught me and selflessly swallow
We coalesce in darkness, so selfishly hollow
Examine the wreckage
Writhing in tempo
Invisible anguish casting a shadow
I'm ready to bury all of my bones
I'm ready to lie but say I won't
So tell me your secrets
And join me in pieces
To rot in this garden made of stones
Eternally yours
As we rest in pieces, though I know not your name
I would suffer forever to absolve all your pain
And in the name of love
I'm ready to bury all of my bones
I'm ready to lie but say I won't
So tell me your secrets
And join me in pieces
To rot in this garden made of stones
I'm ready to bleed to make amends
And sleep in this dirt we call our bed
So tell me your secrets
And join me in pieces
To fall and rewrite the bitter end
Eternally yours
I'm more than willing to rot in hell with you
I'm ready to bury all of my bones
I'm ready to lie but say I won't
So tell me your secrets
And join me in pieces
To rot in this garden made of stones
I'm ready to bleed to make amends
And sleep in this dirt we call our bed
So tell me your secrets
And join me in pieces
To fall and rewrite the bitter end
Eternally Yours
Everyone claps and cheers. Mikaila hugs Chris and Ricky both. Jax shakes both of their hands. The wedding is a success and everyone walks away fulfilled. Jax and Mikaila are going to have their honeymoon now in Hawaii. The kids are going to be watched by Sarah.
Months after the honeymoon, Mikaila's art student, Amanda has developed a special bond with her and later on with Jax. They have all decided to be together. Mikaila and Jax's love for one another has not changed. They have love for each other and they both have chosen to have a relationship with Amanda. All of them are happy together.
The future looks bright for both Mikaila, Jax, and their children. Jax even keeps in contact still with Chibs and Tig still and they are all on good terms. Everything has fallen into place and even though Jax has left SAMCRO, he is finally fulfilled in life. He has made the best life possible for his sons. He has found a woman to heal his heartbreak even though he will always love Tara. He will never fully get over the death of Tara Knowles Teller. He knows now he will always have his distant memories with her. Things happen in life that you can't stop but it's not a reason to shut out the world. So because of this realization, Jax knows that he will move on and keep the past memories with him and be the best man he can be for his new wife and kids. Life is good at the moment for them all with only little bumps on the way but that's life. Jax's kids are growing up in a caring family instead of a broken home like life back in Charming was. Moving to Canada was one of the best choices Jax has made. They are only looking to move forward and be better people, more every day. Things won't ever be perfect, but at least they will be real.
My thoughts: I know some of you reading this were probably wondering about an alternate ending after reading the ending I chose for the characters. I know that most of the Sons Of Anarchy fans were expecting a depressing ending just like the way the show ended. Nothing against the creators especially Kurt Sutter except I had a different vision of how things would end for Jax. I wanted Jax to decide to live in the end. I didn't want a depressing ending for the show. I know I'm not the best writer and I'm not the best at re-imaginings especially of epic shows I could never come close to matching. I just wanted to see Jax in another light and show that to other hardcore fans. I also wanted Jax to end up happy because he deserved to and even though Tara died I didn't agree with it. But that's what happened so I invented a new character for Jax's love interest. If you haven't heard Eternally Yours by MIW then you should. There's also an acoustic version by Ricky Horror, the lead guitarist and former bassist of the band on youtube.
If you were looking for an alternate ending then this would be it: Jax and Mikaila stay together after being married until Mikaila dies in a massive car crash 7 years later and Jax decides to be alone and not seek out any future relationships. He eventually meets Mr. mayhem through cancer in his older retirement days.
And if anyone was wondering about future fanfics: I will be writing a post season 5 fanfic with all of the original characters of SOA with a twist including Tara coming soon.
