A/N 5/4/2020:Just realized it is taking me three times as long to finish this season than it is to post the last two combined. I better buckle down. As it is, there's only one or two more chapters, and then I plan on going back and fixing and reuploading things. That means I'll need a beta. Anyone interested? PM me. From here, we have the long awaited wedding and some much missed Chibs and Bella love. Hope y'all enjoy. ~Angel
Liam O'Neill knew he was in deep shit. The two fucking Englishmen took him somewhere hooded, so he didn't know where he was, and left him there. But occasionally, if he quieted his breathing just enough, he could hear them talking. And the talk, as of late, was nothing good or in his favor. It seemed Jimmy had blown the barn the Army was using as a supply store. O'Neill had to admit that it was good that he wasn't privy to that plan, or had a part in it, as it seemed young Padraic had died. Chibs would be out for blood.
But that didn't mean that his blood wouldn't soon be running. And he had managed to fall on the wrong side of the line on this one, tossing his lot in with Jimmy. And now here he was, practically waiting for his execution. He betrayed the club. And in a way that got the son of the mother charter's VP kidnapped. They weren't going to let him meet Mr. Mayhem. He'd just be shot and dumped after they tortured all of the information they could get out of him.
He had seen Sean Casey work. He was pretty sure he could withstand a good bit of his torture before he started spilling his guts. But he would eventually. It all depended on the amount of pain he would let himself go through before he broke. His breathing picked up at the thought. It is in the human condition that we shy away from pain. Not just the feelings and thoughts, but just the mention by someone else of torture, and the rest reactively cringe. So to be left alone with such thoughts were driving O'Neill slowly around the twist.
If he knew someone other than Sean Casey was going to administering the torture, he might have thought twice on how long he would have been able to last under such pain. That 'good bit' would shrink down to 'barely any' faster than the thought would have passed his mind.

"Sean's going to have a go at O'Neill, but I'm going to be the one having the fun," Liam said to the assembled group, which new included Jasper with a prospect's rocker on a clean Kutte on his back. "He wasn't happy when he heard that Sam Crow already had Jimmy stashed away and weren't talking. This little bit of fun with the traitor and getting his hands on Donny will go a long way to cooling that fire he has over Micheal's death."
Clay nodded. "He can have that. We won't stand in the way. We're going to have to do it in a time crunch though. I don't think there is a man here who wants to face Izzy's wrath for missing her wedding."
"Not the hell I'd catch if I missed it," Chibs joked. "Speaking of, I'm going to miss out on that one. I've got to get ready myself for this evenin'."
"You sure you want to do that brother? Just so you can get pretty?" Liam questioned. "I'm sure little Bella wouldn't mind if you showed up covered in the blood of the ones who caused you so much stress."
Chibs laughed, but the stress lines on his face showed, just as Liam said, the hard hits of the past couple of days. "Aye, true. But your own old lady, Siobhan?" Liam nodded. "She's one scary lady when she's planning something, and I'm marrying Izzy… which says something." The men laughed and it all broke up.

Jax found Angela with Izzy and the other club women in the SAMBEL clubhouse, decorating for after. He watched her for a moment. Talking with Izzy and Gemma with Abel in her arms, his legs dangling just over her barely showing baby bump. It filled his heart to bursting, to see his family together and happy. Safe, together, and happy. It was a combination that he hadn't had until these two girls shouldered their way into the club.
He walked up and wrapped his arms around his woman and son, the free hand cupping Abel's head while he kissed his Angel's temple.
"Marry me?" he whispered into her ear. Angela looked up at him stunned before a smirk made a way to her lips and one of her eyebrows arched.
"That's it? That's the proposal your going with?" she said teasingly, and with mock incredulity.
"Figured I had all I need with the family here, and the way I feel for you, I didn't need anything fancier," he chuckled. Angela's features softened.
"If you feel that way, how about a double wedding? I got a dress that'll do, and we can figure out the ring problem when we get home," she said, turning to Jax, then Bella. Bella nodded. A silent acquiescence to the idea. Their attention was then caught by Gemma.
"I've got you covered, baby," she said, walking up to Jax and holding out her hand. Jax placed his underneath hers, and into his palm she dropped two rings.
"Your's and dad's rings?" he said in surprise. Gemma nodded.
"I've been planning on giving them to you for a while. Just waiting on the right time. Seems it found us," she explained. He smiled and turned to Angela, who smiled back.
"Seems we're all set," she said with a beaming smile. Jax gave her his signature grin and kissed her passionately.

Clay's phone rang, and saw it was Rosen. Raising a questioning eyebrow, he answered.
"Yeah?"
"Clay, it's Rosen. I got an update here I think you ought to be aware of," Rosen said.
"Yeah, and what's that?"
"Seems some new evidence came up in Otto's case. A long lost video that proves he was in another part of the prison when his last supposed victim was killed."
"And where did this long lost video come from? How did it make it's way to you?" Clay asked suspiciously.
"A lawyer from Washington. Says he's going through the case for someone named Isabella Swan. He seems to have managed to wrestle the video from a corrupt judge, the same judge that tried Otto in the first place, coincidentally enough, and get the assault charge from Stahl overturned. It seems she had provoked him. He have her on tape threatening his wife in one of their interviews."
Clay stood stunned for a moment. "How long has this lawyer been working on this? Those aren't things you find over night," he asked.
"It seems Ms. Swan had her lawyer looking into the matter since before her abduction a couple weeks ago. Since we haven't heard anything on her location or well being, he forwarded the information to me, and I am now giving the info to you," Rosen explained.
Clay nodded in understanding. "You can tell her lawyer we've found her and she is very much alive and safe. I will pass on the info since we're all here in Ireland for her wedding. Any idea when Otto could be out?"
"I'd give it another month or two on the outside. If things continue on the fast track they're on now though, I'd say it's a matter for a couple weeks rather than a couple of months."
"Does Luann know?" Clay asked.
"I wasn't sure if I could tell her. I wanted to call you and see if this was all legit first."
"Tell her," Clay said. "Izzy's legit and so is the lawyer."
"Will do. Congratulations, Clay. Seems you're getting a brother back."

Chibs hung up the phone, having just called his sister and telling her about Paddy's death. He took the half smoked cig out of his mouth and blew a thick cloud out in sadness and frustration. The door opened and Izzy made her way in, immediately going to him and sitting on his lap; combing her fingers through his hair in comfort.
"Who has the boy?" he asked her softly.
"Charlie wanted some quality time with his grandson. Told him to stay within sight of Gemma. Didn't want him to pass on any bad habits," she said with a teasing smile. Chibs gave his own, but it was only half a smile, and didn't dim the sadness in his eyes at all.
"You call your sister then?" she asked. Chibs nodded.
"She was devastated, as any mother. She blames the life, and I'm sure she blames me a little as well. Padraic always did have a small case of hero worship for me."
Izzy shook her head. "Padraic's decisions were his own. Yes, I believed he took after you, but after a while, you get to love the club. The life. Trust me, I speak from personal experience."
Chibs put their foreheads together and breathed her in. This amazing young woman who swept into his life and razed it before she rebuilt it.
"Do you want to wait on the wedding? Give you time to grieve Paddy?" she asked.
Chibs's reaction was damn near violent. "No! No," he said, gentling his tone. "I've waited long enough, and if we wait any longer… Lord only knows what bad luck we'd be courting if we wait. The boys and SAMBEL are holding a wake for Padraic and the others tonight to say goodbye, so I'll do it then. I gave my word of my sister to send her boy back to her for a proper burial. We'll send him off to her in the morning and then in the afternoon, I'm going to make you mine."
Izzy kissed his forehead. "Jax and Angela will be joining us at the altar. Seems Jax is of the same mind."
Chibs actually gives a happy chuckle at this. "Yeah, the men in the club seem to be wising up. Find a good woman and hook her."
Izzy laughed too, and proceeded to kiss Chib as if she couldn't get enough.
o0o o0o o0o
The wake was a solemn affair. 5 brothers to send off, among them, Chibs's nephew. Izzy had only managed a couple of conversations with the younger man, but liked him. He was a lot like his uncle. A bit more of a rake than she would have liked, but he liked the fact that she was able to make his uncle Filip happy.
When it was her and Chibs's turn to go up to see him, he placed his own St. Christopher medal with him, and Izzy placed one of Callum's SOA baby hats with him.
"Thank you for protecting us," she said to the fallen man. "So you'll have a piece of family with you, nephew. Find rest."
She led Chibs away and found him a glass of scotch. "Just one, babe. It'll help, but you need to feel."
Jasper came up behind her. "I'll keep an eye on him, Izzy. Talk it out. Why don't you go have a girl's night?"
"Are you sure?" she asked him. Jasper nodded.
"Go. Maybe I can whip him into some kind of shape before y'all get hitched tomorrow." Izzy nodded at him with a smile, and kissed Chibs goodbye.
"I love you," she whispers against his lips.
"Aye, lass. And I you." She then straightened and gave Jasper a hug.
"Thank you, brother." Jasper wrapped his arms around her and returned the embrace firmly, but gently.
She pulled back and saw that Jasper had suspiciously moist eyes. "This is more than I could have wished for when I came to find you."
Izzy studied his face for a while before she spoke. "I forgive you. For a while now. You know that, right?" A tear finally fell, and he brought her back in for a hug.
"Thank you, Izzy." They took another moment before he pulled away and he started pushing her towards the door. "Alright, enough of this. Go. Have fun with the girls. I'm going to gather the guys and get your man good and drunk."
"I need him sober enough to marry, Jay," she said.
"Don't worry. The man drinks like a fish on a normal day, I think I'll be hard pressed to even give him a hang over."
He pushed her out the door to find Angela, Donna, and Gemma. Before she let her feet move though, she took out her phone and dialed. Another number from history. It was answered on the fourth or fifth ring.
"Hello?" asked a rough voice on the other end. Izzy took a breath.
"Emmett." Silence. "I got your gift."
"I-I… I just-" he stammered.
"I know. I've recently come to a decision," she said.
"Yeah?" he asked timidly, but with curiosity.
"Mmm. We used to be really close, Em. There is history there. Just as it is with Jasper. I considered both of you my brothers when we were together in Forks. I gave Carlisle and Rose a chance because they weren't there to put a stop to it. They had no hand in my torture." She heard Emmett choke on his end. "Alice and Edward have paid for their crimes. I gave Jasper and chance when he reached out. It would be hypocrisy not to give you the same chance now that you are asking for it. Jasper worked his debt free. I've forgiven him. This is me giving you the same chance. You come to Charming. You'll be my new errand boy until I determine you've worked your way out of it. Jasper earned his saving my nephew of sorts. Because I'm still in the MC life, I'm sure more instances will pop up. Help me protect my son, my family, and I'll forgive you as well."
Izzy could practically hear the excited smile on his face as he answered. "I'll be on the next flight and meet you there! You won't regret this, Bella. I-"
"Izzy. I go by Izzy now," she corrected him. Emmett's enthusiasm calmed a bit.
"Izzy. I'll get approval from Carlisle, and meet you and your new man in Charming," he tells her.
"Until then, Emmett."

Izzy found the other women gathering in Siobhan's kitchen. All were wearing party clothes and making themselves ready. She was ambushed by Angela, Donna, and Rose, all ushering her into a spare room to put on her outfit and fix her hair. She ended up in a comfortable light blue sundress with a loose and lazy braid tied off in a ribbon hanging over her shoulder. Her make up was light, nothing more than some eyeliner and mascara and light pink gloss on her lips, with a light dusting of blush to give her some coloring.
"Perfect!" Angela declared. "Now, for entertainment."
Izzy looked at her best friend a bit bemused as she was dragged back to the clubhouse. "We girls have decided that the most fun we can have is to tease our men."
Fifteen minutes later, Izzy stood behind a makeshift curtain as the music began to play. She wasn't a fan of pop to begin with, but she figured the lyrics of the song got the point across pretty well. Ariana Grande's Dangerous Woman started to play and her hips swayed back and forth as the curtain pulled aside. She moved as sensuously as she felt, and locked eyes with her man. Charlie, not wanting to see his little girl like that, but knowing he couldn't stop it, only turned his head to the side and his attention to the woman in his lap. Some local hanger on. Izzy, who had spun herself impressively on the pole, slid seductively down and began to crawl towards him. His eyes were riveted on her as she stepped out, and he hardened when she began to spin and dance. He moaned when she made her way to his lap, not stopping her dance, just changing how, and kissed him passionately.
"Carlisle and Rose gave me the all clear," she whispered in his ear. Earlier in the day, she had asked if it was safe for her to have sex. Carlisle said he would normally ask the new mother not to engage in sex for a couple three weeks, but said that he would be willing to have Rose to check her over to see how she was feeling, and yes, while she had some tenderness, it felt like she had already gone through a thorough fucking already. Carlisle said it was amazing her rebounding from such pain, but insisted she and Chibs take it easy and on birth control.
Chibs pulled back and looked her in the eye, and she nodded. "So long as we take it easy." He surged forward and kissed her as he picked her up and began walking blindly to their room in the SAMBEL clubhouse. He slipped the dresses thin straps from her shoulders and gently lay her down as he kissed her. Her hands roamed his chest as he removed his kutte and the shirt beneath it, curving to his back and pulling him closer. This was the first time they'd have been together fully since before her abduction. He slipped his hand down to her perfect clit and gave it a test. She moaned in pure ecstasy, throwing her head back and pushing her full breasts into his face.
He licked one nipple, blowing on the wet little peak, and causing the pleasure to rise even higher for Izzy. The slowness of it all was driving her mad. Her hands fumbled with his belt and the button of his pants. Once it was open, she dove her hand in and clasped his cock. His head fell onto her shoulders as he felt her take him, but he wanted more. She wanted more. And the other knew it. Wasting no time, Chibs divested himself of the rest of his clothing and entered her slowly. She stiffened a bit as she was stretched. The tender muscles reacquainting themselves to being used. They both shuddered in pleasure and completion. Finally.
Their breathing picked up as he began to move inside her. Her nails scratching down his back as he thrust into her. He brought one hand up and cradled the side of her face. "Tomorrow will see you mine in the eyes of God, Mo ghràdh, but you are my wife. I know because of how you respond to this," he said, pushing into her slowly, "And this," his hand moving now to her newly empty womb that once held their son. "But most importantly, this." His had traveled back up to her chest, resting right over her heart.
She looked right into his eyes as he continued to thrust into her. She too rested her hand above his own heart. "We are one, Filip. From the moment you first kissed me, I have been yours. And I wouldn't have it any… other..." her breathing picked up as her climax neared. It had snuck up on her unexpectedly. "Oh! Oh, yes! YES FILIP! AAAHHH!" she all but screamed as her orgasm tore through her, radiating out from her very being.
Chibs risked going a little faster. Seeing Izzy to her end would always incite him, and seeing her face as her hot little cunt gripped him, saw him releasing into her for the first time in weeks. The completion both felt just then was indescribable. Chibs rolled to the side so he wouldn't cause her any unintentional harm and gathered her to him.
"Way," she breathed into his chest. He chuckled as she finished her thought.

The next morning was a hive of activity. They had seen Padraic off at first light. Izzy holding Chibs's hand the whole time. Then both men and women ushered either Izzy or Chibs off to get ready. There wasn't much to do on Chibs's side. No tuxes were needed, but they all did make sure to touch up the leather of their kuttes, and the groom himself made sure to put on a brand new clean pair of dark jeans and a clean button up beneath.
Izzy was put into a blush colored knee length sweetheart sleeveless dress. Everyone agreed it would be best to show off her crow and her breasts to their best advantage. And they were right of course. Her hair was put into loose curls and hung loosely down her back, the sides pinned back, out of her face. Which held the same amount of make up as the previous night.
Then everything turned around to make sure Jax and Angela was ready. Angela wearing a dress similar to Izzy's, only it hung off one shoulder, was more silver and had more crystals sewn into it where Izzy's had more floral embroidery and lace.
Gemma was taking care of both Able and Callum with Donna. Both having taken their seats at the front. Izzy and Angela made it down the aisle in one piece. Angela being handed off by Clay, and Izzy by Charlie. Neither Jax nor Chibs could describe how they saw their women. Both were breathtaking and each would swear his woman was the more beautiful of the two.
"Brothers and sisters," said the justice. "We are gathered here before the Almighty to join these two couples in holy matrimony. Jackson and Angela. Filip and Isabella. I cannot ask if you would keep each other through good times and bad, because you've more than proven that you will. As I understand it, the four of you have your own vows. Jackson. Angela. If you would?"
Angela and Jax turned to each other. "Angel," Jax said. "I was captivated by you the moment I saw you running up to Izzy when you first arrived. The way you took to my son, the way you've integrated and helped my club and family. All just added to your beauty and captivated me even more. I love you. I will always love you. And after today, you giving me the chance, I'll make you happy you did." Chibs elbowed Jax. Not quite time for the last vow. Angela and chuckled, knowing the vow.
"Jackson, it was easy to love your family. Both brothers and blood. Though I must admit, I fell in love with your son first," Angela said, causing everyone to chuckle. But you, you charming man, stole into my heart and stayed there. So, I promise to stay with you. To take care of you. And to smack you upside the head should you start acting like an idiot."
"Amen, sister," Gemma could be heard saying.
The Justice turned to the second couple. "Filip. Isabella?"
"Filip? My protector, lover, and match. We've been through some tough patches you and me. Not limited to being blown up and abducted. But here we are. We've made it! We have a son. And a family. And finally, Finally! We are all safe." She says this last as her hand comes up to his cheek, her thumb brushing one of his scars. He turns his head and kisses said thumb, before she drops her hand.
And now it was his turn. "Izzy, Mo ghràdh. I can only say I love you. I am addicted to you and I will not let you go." Izzy chuckled.
It was Jax's turn to elbow Chibs. Now was the time. Both smiled at their brides, and in tandem said, "And I promise to treat you as good as my/me leather, and ride you as much as my/me Harley!"
There were wolf whistles and shouts of laughter as they finished. Izzy and Angela broke out laughing. "By the power vested in my by this lovely green land, I now pronounce you man and wife. Kiss the brides gents!"
More shouts and hoots of laughter as Jax picked Angela clean up off the ground in his enthusiasm, and Chibs dipped his bride into a passionate kiss.
"Let's party!" Clay shouted.
