AUTHOR NOTE'S: This is the last outtake guys! I wanted to thank you all for the response to this story! The response makes it kind of hard to let go of Jax, Noelle, and the kids! And like someone had asked on tumblr, I don't have any plans for a sequel or prequel. As I mentioned on tumblr, this was initially the sequel to what I had initially planned. I had originally planned for this story to start with Jax and Noelle in high school. But for now, I will leave the story as it is.

Thanks again for all the feedback, favorites, and follows!

until then.


"What's going on with you?" Noelle asks Jax as she burrows into his side. He had been acting weird as the day got darker. And she is confused as to why as the day has been a pleasant surprise.

She didn't think Jax was going to do anything special for Valentine's Day. If anything she thought they would just stay home for the day with Noah.

Instead, she had been surprised to wake up to find that Jax had taken their baby boy to his grandmother's and they day would be spent just between the two of them.

He had taken her out for a fancy breakfast, shopping spree, movies, and some sight-seeing. It was then she was reminded how young they both still were. She was only 19 and Jax is only 21. It was nice just being a couple and as much as she loves her baby boy, it seems she and Jax needed this day to themselves.

Now, they were at the club's cabin, which she noticed had been cleaned immaculately, no doubt to the new Prospect, Juice. She is willing to call it night and she is surprised that they hadn't made it to bed yet. Considering how Jax has spoiled her today, he is going to receive some amazing sex as gratitude. Yet, she is comfortable sitting in front of the fire tucked into Jax. However, she can sense nervousness.

"Nothing," he tells her, which is clearly a lie.

She leans up and eyes him dubiously. "Jax…"

Jax sighs and he turns slightly to face her more and his hand comes and places some of her hair behind her ear. "You know I love you right?"

"Even more than your croweaters," she jests.

"Stop," Jax says with a snort as she finds herself pulled into his lap. Noelle allows herself to be. She finds, surprisingly, that Jax is a very affectionate man. He speaks with his actions more than his words although she knows he can be quite loquacious at times.

"I love you and Noah…so much," he starts. "And I wouldn't change anything that has happened especially with Noah here and you. But I wish we could have gotten a proper start…ya know. For you to know that I love you outside of just having our boy."

Noelle is unsure of where this speech is going as her hands cups his face. "I know that Jax. I love you too."

Jax looks at her uncertain and she swears she thinks a blush is erupting on him as he looks a little red under the collar.

"I also know that this Life…it can be a lot. And I'm glad that I have you to go home to, but I want you to be more than my Old Lady." He says as he grabs his vest that is lying on the armchair.

Noelle's heart begins beating hard against her chest as she thinks she knows what is happening especially as he produces that small velvet box.

Immediately her hands go over her mouth as she tries to contain the tears of happiness and pure shock. And then he opens the box and Noelle swears it's the most beautiful ring she has ever seen.

"Marry me, Noelle?" He asks her.

Noelle's eyes go back and forth from the ring to Jax's eyes in utter disbelief. "Are…are you sure you want that?" She asks him.

He nods his head with a smile. "I love you, Noelle Teller."

Noelle nods her head as she accepts the ring and presses a desperate kiss to his lips. They never make it to the bed.
