CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE
Website where all photos of all outfits mentioned is on my profile. Forgot to post photos of robes from last chapter, they're posted now.
There's a knocks on the door as Cam's finishing my lipstick, the fact she knows me so well has been a blessing again, she's barely put anything on my face.
Donna leans over and opens the door "Come in Gem."
Gemma steps up into the trailer "Are you girls almost ready? Everyone's here." Gemma looks over at me, her face splitting into a smile "Oh baby, you look gorgeous." Looking around "You all do of course."
Cam laughs "Yes, but the bride should always be the one who steals the show."
Gemma hugs me tightly, whispering "Jax is going to be blown away."
Smiling at her "I hope not, I'm rather attached to him."
Going back down the steps she heads across the grass towards the gap in the trees calling over her shoulder "I'll send the guys over in a second."
Everyone lifts their eyes at me and I shrug "I asked her to arrange for the guys to come take you to your seats. D, you're staying with me obviously. That way it works that everyone knows you're involved with Sons."
There's a hard thump at the door a few minutes later and Opie's voice comes through the open gap "You all ready?"
"Hold on baby." Donna calls, passing me my shoes, waiting while I wiggle my feet into them and do up the buckles. Standing up Donna shakes her head as she looks up at me "I hope those don't make you taller than Jax."
Shaking my head I giggle "I'd have to pull out the 6 inch platforms and then I'd still only barely be eye level with him."
Waiting while Cam, Al, Lyla and Cherry walk out of the trailer, Donna hugs me tightly "Opie and I brought you a gift to go with the stuff Jax brought you."
"What?"
"Just go see Ope, he's got it. You're too nosey and would have seen the box."
Donna darts out the door in front of me, Opie lifting her down to the ground then holding out his hand to help me down. Miles leans past us and locks the door, shoving the key into his pocket and taking Lyla's hand, the pair of them leading the way that Gemma had gone. Opie lifts up his hand and passes me the silver box.
"Now it's nothing as flash as what Jax brought you, but D picked it for you and I agreed. It's perfectly you." Ope says while I crack the lid.
The silver bracelet that's sitting in on the black velvet has a stone in the centre the same colour as the necklace and earrings Jax brought me. Smiling up at them I hug them both tightly "Thank you, and you didn't have to."
Ope shrugs "And you didn't have to do everything for us that you have done, but you did so get over it. Now we need to get a move on."
Donna helps me do the bracelet up around one wrist, tossing the box in the passenger's door of my Nitro. "We ready then?"
I shake my head "Not yet."
Opie leans down "It's all sorted S."
Looking up at him I frown but he nods, waving his arm towards the field where I can now hear a murmur of voices. "Okay."
Donna slides her arm through one of Opie's elbows and he holds the other one out for me, crossing the grass we all stop just inside the tree line where Donna leans over and hugs me again "See you up there."
"What?" I look at her confused as she pulls Doj's lead out of Clay's hand and walks through the gap; disappearing before I can take in more than the fact Doj's collar is wrapped in white ribbon and his lead has a purple ribbon wrapped around it. Turning my confused gaze to Opie he chuckles.
"Clay and I talked about it, we know you asked him to give you away this time and he is, but we thought that I could too. If that's alright?"
I blink rapidly against the tears that well in my eyes, nodding as Clay clears his throat "Now pumpkin. If you ruin that shit on your face I'm pretty sure someone will be pissed."
Turning around I hug him whispering my thanks into his ear.
His huge shoulders jerk as he shrugs "Let's get this show on the road huh?"
Laughing I nod, swiping my fingers under my eyes. Linking both my elbows through Clay and Opie's I pause for a second looking at Clay "How much of a preduction has this turned into?"
Clay chuckles "You know Gem. She's a perfectionist and as long as you have sorted what you want to say you'll be all good."
"What?!" I spit out "What do you mean?"
Opie chuckles "I'm guessing you didn't get that memo? Gem has the Tribes Chief here to say some things, but cause you're already married there doesn't have to be any vows. Gem told Jax at the beginning of last week to sort something to say. Did she forget to tell you?"
I nod, my brain racing a mile a minute, the way I can see it I have about 4 minutes before I'm going to be dropped in an unexpected gap where I have to say something.
Opie lifts his free hand and rests it on my shoulder "You'll be fine S."
Clay nods, squeezing my fingers lightly "Just tell them how you feel about Jax and it'll be perfect."
"Ha! Thanks you two." I poke my tongue out at them, square my shoulders and step out of the gap from the trees whispering "I'll think of something, I hope."
