Jackson Teller looked at the three little forms that were curled up on the sofa next to him. He had managed to get them all down for a nap, without a catastrophe happening, however he did have to admit that he struggled quite a bit. He had realized he had no real idea of what he was doing, no idea how to balance out the twins with Creed while getting the chores done as well. He also needed to admit that he owed his girlfriend a whole lot more respect than what he gave her on a daily basis. "You guys wore me out."
"Jax." Javier pulled on the man's hair and laughed. "Will you help me with my volcano for class tomorrow. I asked my mom but she was actually sleeping when I was talking to her."
"Yeah." He nodded as he stood up from the sofa softly, mindful of the sleeping boys. "I'll help you, what do you need, kid? Everything? From scratch? Your mom is better at the decorating part but I can get you a nice explosion."
"Everything." He held up the piece of paper and smirked. "It's all the instructions. Monica printed them out for me. She was in a nice mood when I saw her at grandpa's house earlier."
"Oh yeah?" Jax smiled as he clipped the baby monitor to the waistband of his sweatpants. "I want you to read off the paper and we'll get all that you need from the kitchen. I know we have lots of newspaper because your mom is always reading the paper, watching her stock portfolio go up and down." He shrugged as he lifted Javier up and set him on the large island in the middle of the kitchen. "Aren't you too young to be doing science projects for school though?"
"Nope." Javier shook his head. "I'm old enough for a science project. I'm in the advanced classes, duh Jax!"
He laughed and nodded. "Excuse me, I didn't know it was that advanced." He shook his head as he started setting out all of the items listed on the piece of paper. "We have everything. Vinegar and baking soda will give you an eruption but we'll add some food coloring into it, to make it really look like lava. Does that sound good to you?"
Javi nodded. "Yes, it sounds so good! I want red lava!" He lifted up the food coloring and smiled. "Lots of it Jax!"
"Alright." Jax nodded. "We'll make the volcano big and we'll make the lava really red." He chuckled before hearing one of the twins begin to cry, followed by a thud. "Fuck!" He rushed out of the kitchen and back into the living room, pausing at the sight of Noah on the floor, he walked over, instantly scooping the month old up and tried to soothe him with rocking. "Brianna is going to kill me."
"Now why would I do that?" Brianna walked into the living room. "I woke up, figured it was time to feed them. I was right. Noah only cries when hungry."
He turned around and shrugged. "I left them sleeping, he rolled off. Can you check him? Make sure he isn't hurt?"
She nodded as she took Noah into her arms, instantly holding him close to her chest. "Babe, I told you they can't be left on anything. That's why their swings are right over there Jax."
"I know, shit, I'm sorry alright. Is he ok? Do we need to go to the hospital?" Jax moved towards the brunette and his son. "He's not going to be slow now, right?"
"Jesus Christ, calm down." Bri shook her head. "He's going to be fine babe. It wasn't a long way to fall and thankfully we had carpet put in this room. Just next time, put them in their swings unless you're in here with them. Alright? You can just relax. He's not hurt. I know that look on your face. He's fine."
He nodded. "I'm calm." He smiled as he kissed her lips. "I just went to help Javier with his volcano for school."
She chuckled. "That's not his project, that's Monica's but he wants to build one like she did, so you know, have fun helping him with it. I think he wants to take it for show and tell."
"Oh, he lied to me? He told me he was in advanced classes." Jax shook his head as he kissed the brunette again. "I love you, you know that right Brianna?"
Bri nodded and smiled. "Yes, Jackson I know you love me. Now, go help him. I'm going to cuddle these fatties and feed them."

"Potatoes." Kajsa poked at Mason and Noah and giggled when they looked at her. "The potatoes looked at me!"
"Yes, they did huh?" Nik smirked at her daughter. "They're remembering your face. So, they won't be crying the next time you want to hold them."
"Noah is irritated, he rolled off the sofa and bumped his head. Freaked Jax out so bad, Nik." Bri shook her head as she passed both blondes bottles of water. "There you go. Ice water is pretty much life. I'm ready for this heat to leave and the fall to start. I'm desperate for some rain. I want just some good weather. I was thinking of going down to Big Bear for the winter. Just something small."
"I wanna go." Kajsa crawled into Bri's lap, wrapping her tiny arms around the woman's neck as she pressed her lips to the brunette's nose. "Big Bear!"
"You can come." She kissed Kajsa's forehead and smirked. "Now, back to you Miss Nikola. I was thinking a double wedding…"
"First off all, you need to have Jax propose to you before you start planning a double wedding. I'm good with it but the guys need to be good with it as well." Nik smiled at her sister. "Hey, Kajsa, tell your Auntie what you learned on your trip to Russia."
"I learned some Russian." Kajsa giggled before she started rattling off in Russian before pausing to look at the women. "Did I do good?"
"That was perfect!" Bri hugged her niece tightly. "Look at you, a little Russian princess. I love you so much baby girl."
"Love you too." She kissed Bri and nodded. "Daddy got me a flower tiara there too! I'll go get it from him. I made him wear it!"
"Yes, go get it." Nik patted her daughter's behind. "She's such a hippy and I don't know where she gets it but I'd fucking die if she ever lost that part of her. I can't imagine her being anything but free and loving."
"I hope she stays that way too. I think she will though." Bri nodded as she started to braid her sister's hair. "You know, I love you a lot right? I don't want you leaving me so much. I feel like I never really get to see you and your little family anymore and I hate it."
The blonde nodded and smiled. "We don't need to leave for a while. Anthony's pretty much handled all his business over in Russia, so he's happy to be back home and settling in with us and I love it." She relaxed back against Bri and sighed. "I hated it too but I couldn't let him go there alone. He's an outsider, even if he's your new right hand Bri. I just had to make sure he was safe at all times. He let me do it too, he didn't fight me on it. I love that about him. He didn't let some chauvinistic bullshit stop him from allowing me to be at his side every step of the way."
"Good." Bri smiled to herself. "I'm glad you have that. That you have a man that's going to include you on everything he dabbles in." She nodded slowly as she finished braiding the blonde's hair. "Jax and I are getting better in that aspect. He started telling me more about the club and what they're dealing with."
"I love it." Nik murmured. "The open communication of the relationship. I really can't wait to be his wife and lock him in forever and ever." She laughed as she shifted on the large bed. "These babies are giving me such baby fever. Anthony and I were thinking about adopting a little boy. So, we let an agency know that we want a child who's between a newborn and eighteen months but we may be open for one a bit older than that."
"Good." Bri smirked. "You two do need a little boy in your lives. A little tan brunette boy who may favor Anthony. It'll be the perfect completion of your tiny little family. Also, one more nephew for me. I need more than just one nephew."
"I want a boy, the agency said it could take awhile but I don't mind the wait." Nik looked back at her sister and smiled. "I just want one more kid. I don't care how long it'll take. I know it's going to be amazing when we get him."
"You know you have the family's support through the whole process, don't hesitate to ask me or anyone else for help or just for an ear." Bri kissed the blonde's forehead. "I can't wait to see what other happy news the family will get. We're on a roll right now. Just positive vibes."
"Don't jinx us." Nik shook her head. "Let's just go with the flow."

Jax paced around the large bedroom he shared with his girlfriend Brianna, a black velvet ring box in his hands as he shuffled through all the ups and downs they had gone through. He hadn't been the best boyfriend and he definitely hadn't been the easiest to love but now that they were in the happiest place they've been he couldn't help but want to commit himself to the brunette forever. She was way more than just his girlfriend, she had become his best friend as well. "Brianna." He spoke as he walked out of the bedroom and into the nursery. "Brianna."
"Yeah Jax?" Bri looked up from the photo album she was putting together. "I'm setting up their baby books finally. The others have theirs. Monica's will be finished soon." She smiled as she took in his nervous fidgets. "Baby, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Jax shook his head as he sat down on the floor and pulled the brunette onto his lap, resting his chin on her shoulder as he looked down at the pictures scattering the floor. "You have way too many pictures of them. They're only a month old babe."
"Can't help it." She shook her head as she leaned back against him and smiled. "Our kids are perfect plus, look at how fucking amazing our genes finally mixed. Creed was all you but the twins are the perfect combination of the both of us. I swore Monica was going to be the only kid to look like me but I'm glad the babies have some of me in their looks."
He nodded as he planted soft kisses to her neck as he slowly pulled out the ring box. "I have a serious question to ask you. You can think about it but I'd prefer an answer today…"
"Ok." Bri nodded. "Ask your question baby."
Jax lifted up the ring box, so she could see it. "So, I wanted to know if you would like to marry me?" He smiled. "We've been through some shit and we've gotten through it all and we've gotten stronger and happier together. So I want to make you my wife. So Brianna will you marry me?"
"Yes." She answered, sliding off his lap to look at him. "Yes, I'll marry you." she nodded eagerly as she smiled up at him before moving back to straddle his lap. "Yes, yes." She grinned. "I'll marry you Jackson."
He laughed as he slid the ring onto her finger. "Yeah? You sure? Your final answer is yes?"
Bri nodded as she kissed Jax and smiled. "Yes, I'm sure. I'm sure! I will marry you baby." She kissed him again and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I want to marry you. We're going to get married?" She looked at him and nodded. "For real? For real?"
"Yes." He chuckled as he kissed her and smiled against her lips. "For real, for real. We're going to get married for real. You're going to be Mrs. Teller…"
"Oh shit." Bri smirked. "Hohrykova-Teller actually. Just going to go back to my maiden name to be honest and add yours to it." She smiled as she wrapped her arms and legs around him tightly. "I cannot believe we're engaged. I can't wait to tell everyone that we're engaged! This is so exciting! I have to tell everyone right now."
Jax shook his head as he tangled his hands into her long hair and caught her lips in a passionate kiss. "That can wait for a bit. Let's just sit here and enjoy each other's company before you go announcing it to the damn world babe."

"Good just what I needed." Bri scoffed as she looked out the screen door and spotted Juice standing on the porch. "What are you doing here? Huh? I told you to call before you just show up. It's not your weekend with Javier anyway." She shook her head as she walked out of the house, balancing Creed on her hips as she kept her grey eyes on her jittery ex boyfriend. "Juice."
"Kat." Juice looked at the brunette and sighed. "I just need your help…"
She shook her head, slightly taken aback at the use of the nickname. "Juan, what do you need?" She cocked an eyebrow at him, her hand stroking her son's back. "What shit have you gotten into now?"
He looked at her before looking at the figure in the doorway. "I'll call you." He backed off the porch. "You were right, I should've called before I stopped by I'm sorry."
Bri nodded slowly before looking back to see Jax standing behind her. "That was weird." She shrugged as she moved back into the house. "Usually he gets all argumentative when I tell him he can't see Javier unless it's his weekend or he calls first."
The man nodded as he closed the doors and locked them. "He's probably drunk. It's all he is these days when he doesn't have Javier." He draped an arm over the brunette's shoulders and pulled her into him. "Let's get back to dinner. We didn't finish talking about this double wedding you want to have with Nik. What's wrong with a triple wedding? You know Happy and Jacey are going to end up getting engaged again."
She shrugged as she leaned into his side and smiled. "Just a double wedding. I have nothing against a triple wedding but you know good and well that Happy doesn't want to share a day with the rest of us. He wants a make up to the wedding he walked out of." Bri pinched his side and sighed. "You and Ant are different though, you don't mind sharing the day at all. It'll be perfect. A double wedding with my Nikola. I just need to inform my dad of this all."
Jax smiled down at the brunette. "I don't mind, whatever makes you happy. I'm all for it darlin'." He took Creed from her and set him onto the floor. "We got the ring barer right there and Kajsa can be the flower girl. It'll be perfect. Just make sure you just fill me in along the way." He kissed her head and smiled. "It'll be a wedding to remember."
