Jax sat looking at the rings before giving them Opie and thought back on the last year and a half. He never thought he'd be here, getting married. After Tara left, he just didn't think it was in the cards for him. Candice changed all that though. They helped each other heal before they knew they needed each other and the day she gave birth to their daughter, Alexandria, he knew she needed to be his. He had asked her when they had brought the baby home from the hospital a month later. That poor girl was born with the family flaw and Jax was worried she wouldn't pull through. They had leaned on each other as they watched their daughter heal in the "toaster" as he called it and that brought them even closer then everything else they had been through since she pulling up at Opie's house.

The ceremony was being held at their tree where so many changes were made. It was where he asked her to be his, to give him a chance to prove to her how special she was and it was where they said "I love you" for the first time. He didn't propose there only because of the baby. He wanted to make coming home special and with the stress knew Candice wouldn't go that far from her. Hell, Jax barely went far unless it was club business and he was needed.

Candice had taken on baby sitting her niece as well as taking care of Alexandria so that Donna was able to go back to work. He heard the door, snapping him out of his thoughts and smiled as he watched his mom walk in with his daughter. When she noticed him, she reached her tiny little hands out to him and he sat the box down, taking her into his arms. "Hey baby girl, I bet mommy's real pretty today, huh?"

He laughed as she just beamed up at him and said "Dadadadadada."

"She's beautiful, Jax. Nervous too, Donna's with her though. How are you?"

Jax looked up at his mom and sat down with Alexandria in his lap playing with his patches on his cut.

"I'm alright. Just wanna see her."

Gemma nodded and kissed the top of his head. "It's time, I thought you'd want to see Alex before heading to the tree with Ope and Juice."

The other two heard their names and came out of the rooms they were changing in.

"Yeah, here." Jax replied, handing the box with the rings to Opie.

"I couldn't ask for a better man for her, y'know that, Jax?"

Jax smiled at his best friend and gave him a hug. "I know and one day we both get to kick the asses of everyone that want my little girl."

Opie and Juice nodded as they made their way to their bikes to head out. Gemma walked down to the room where Candice was waiting so they could leave after the boys. She walked into the meeting room of the clubhouse that had been transformed into the girls dressing room for the day.

"They are heading out now, we'll give them about 10 minutes head start."

Candice nodded and smiled when she saw her dad coming in with a bottle of patron and a glass.

"Now, I know you're not quite 21, but as tradition of the club the old lady gets one shot before binding herself to one of us forever. He's a good man, baby."

She started crying and Donna gave her a napkin. "Thank you daddy."

She downed the shot and set the glass back down. Donna once again checked her make up as Brian came into the room with Max. "Hey, sweetie, you ready?"

She laughed. "It's going to be so funny to see you walk down with Juice."

They all laughed as they went to their vehicles to follow the guys to the spot. Bobby had gotten his minister's license online, apparently they were able to do that now, and so he was playing minister to them since they got the paper signed the day before with the judge since today was Saturday. She climbed into Gemma's SUV with Donna and Alexandria as the boys went to their bikes, or car in Brian's case.

She thought back to her first day here, when she saw the blonde man drive off with her brother. She thought back to trying to tell herself she wasn't what he wanted, she wasn't clean. She smiled as she thought about all the things he did to make her see that he wanted her and she knew after the ceremony when they laid in bed that night at Piney's cabin that telling him he was going to be a daddy again would be the perfect ending of the day.

She found out with Donna this morning and no one else knew. Donna didn't want to take it alone since it was so close to when Ellie would be one and so Candice took it for shits and giggles and ended up pregnant right along with her. They both had smiled and she knew she couldn't wait to tell her man. They pulled over and parked behind the bikes when she saw him. He was in a pair of jeans and his cut and she never thought he looked better. She was wearing a simple cocktail ivory dress and had her hair in a low ponytail behind her left ear with a white lily in it. She got out on the side he couldn't see her on and waited for her dad. He smiled as he got to her and then they waited for the signal.

There was no music, just them. She just wanted her family there and Jax agreed. The party was going to be at the clubhouse later so that it'd be easier to hold everyone. She grabbed onto her dad's arm and let him lead her to her future. They'd went behind the SUV and followed Donna and Brian when she saw him. She saw his smile light up his whole face and she smiled right back at him. She took the lilies from Donna and walked to the alter.

Neither could tell you what was said and who said it. They went through the motions, telling each other in few words what the other meant to them as they said there vows. She blushed when Jax said something about riding and bikes and leather getting the gist when the guys all whistled and hollered out to them. The kiss blew her away and when it was over, she could be happier. They walked back down the isle and over to the bikes. She gave him a kiss since she couldn't ride and went to get in with Gemma so they could get back to the shop.

Max had taken the pictures of the whole ceremony, having taken the couple pictures already. The dress was a gift from her new husband which is why she wore it. He took her to Lodi to go dancing the night after he proposed and she couldn't think of anything she wanted to wear more. They all pulled into the shop and Gemma had gotten Alexandria out for Candice as she climbed out and was immediately in Jax's arms. He carried her into the clubhouse and set her down, kissing her as everyone hollered, ready to cut the cake.

She watched as Alex fell right to sleep in her travel crib across from their room and sighed. Everything was perfect today and she wouldn't change anything. She heard Jax come from making sure everything was secure and the locks were in place. She turned and watched him as he walked down to her and wrapped her in his arms. "I love you, Mrs. Teller."

She smiled and kissed him. "I love you, Mr. Teller."

He picked her up bridal style and carried her into their room, laying her on the bed. She sat up when he made to get on top of her and pushed him back. "I have a gift for you, first."

"You already gave me everything, baby."

She smiled and just walked past him to the bathroom. He pulled off his cut and laid it on the dresser before taking off his button up. He put his accessories on the dresser next to his cut and slid the knife and belt out of his jeans, sitting them down. He turned when he heard her come in. She had changed into one of his button ups that she liked sleeping in and her hair was down.

"Sit, please."

He nodded and sat, pulling her between his legs. She handed him a little green bag and he grabbed it with one hand. She stepped back a bit and watched as he opened it. She watched as he pulled out a bottle, a little green onsie, and the test before looking back up at her. She watched the smile on his face as he took them in and looked at her. He pulled her back into him and gave her a kiss. When air was needed, he pulled back and put his forehead to hers. "Really?"

She nodded. "Yeah. Donna didn't wanna take it by herself this morning and I figured what the hell. Didn't think it'd be positive. Brian and Max went out for me during the party to get you the bag and stuff."

She watched the smile light up his face and he pulled her to him, wrapping his arms around her. "That is the best present I think could ever get. I love you pregnant with my baby."

She smiled and straddled his hips. "Me too. Make love to me, Jackson."

He picked them up and laid her down on the bed under him. "Forever, Candice."

Well, here is the end. I thought I had one more, but my mind said no and I've learned not to drag it on if it's really not needed. I may have another already in the works anyway. Thanks to everyone who stuck by me through my rut and classes. You all are great and I've enjoyed talking to a lot of you! Till the next one, Brianna
