I sat in the chair in the kitchen and opened up the box in my hand, staring at the diamond that was in it. The last eight months since that woman came into my life everything changed. She had helped me cope with more then I even knew I needed help with. She helped me grieve over Tara and the baby to the point where I told my mother everything. Gemma took it well, and we both cried over the loss of the new baby that would've been here.
Today though, I'm happy. I still go to Tara every Saturday but now, Arianna goes with me. I have thought about today a lot for the last month and a half. Today, Arianna would take my name. We'd be married and the house we built together would be finished in a few weeks. The house was a gift from Elliot, who had gotten over his prejudice after Arianna told him about Callum and what went down with that. He had came to me and asked for forgiveness and to thank the club for once again taking care of the ladies in his family. Tristan had even taken to coming around so Arianna could get to know her cousin and was now dating one of the prospects.
"Baby, you ready?"
I looked up at my mom and the guys that came in behind her. Juice and Chibs were standing with me today, Chibs in the spot that I always thought Opie would be at. I smiled up at my brothers and my mother before closing the box and handing it to my VP.
"Let's do this."
They all smiled at me and Gemma hugged me to her. "She's good for you, Jackson."
I pulled her tighter to me, "Thanks, Ma."
She nodded and then we walked out to take our places.
The boys were sitting with her as Ari and I just wanted a small ceremony. Trinity and Kerianne flew in for this and they would be walking with my beautiful bride in a few moments. I took my spot next to Bobby and waited, noticing Lyla sitting close to us with her and Opie's kids along with her belly big with Juice's. Those two shocked the hell out of us, but they were happy so we didn't care. I heard the music to signal to the girls and looked up as the doors opened and my sister started to walk down the isle, followed by Kerianne. When my future wife came down with Happy, I could help but smile at her.
She was in a cream color dress and flats, her belly barely poking out. We had found out right after I asked her to be mine that she was carrying my child. We couldn't believe it since she didn't actually think she could get pregnant because of the guy butchering her. We talked to her doctor about it and they were monitoring her closely so that they could stop any complications early if needed. She smiled at me and I could see tears in her eyes.
I took her hand from Happy and tucked a stray hair from her face as we turned to Bobby. I couldn't hear much of what was said because of the woman beside me. I remembered to say everything that was needed, even the part we all say and she blushed as I told her that I would ride her as much as my Harley.
"I love you." She had whispered against my lips as we kissed for the first time as husband and wife.
"I love you, too." I whispered back as we pulled apart.
I took her hand as we turned and walked between the crowd that was cheering as we walked back to the house. We partied and danced for hours till it was time for us to head out. We were riding out to the cabin for a few days, the boys staying with Gemma. Gemma and Chibs had taken our things out for us this morning so that we could ride there tonight.
"Ready, baby?"
I looked over from talking to Chibs to see my bride had changed for the ride up there. I walked over to her and took her in my arms, "Always. Let me say good bye to the boys."
She smiled and gave me a kiss before letting me go. I walked into the boys room here at Ari's place as mine was sold and we were keeping this one to give to the boys one day.
"Hey guys, we're about to head out."
They looked up at me and smiled. I walked in and gave them a hug. They both loved Arianna and I was so grateful for that. They both knew she wasn't wanting to be their mommy, but they loved how happy she had made me since arriving all those months ago. I pulled back. "Y'all be good for grandma."
The nodded.
"When y'all coming back?" Thomas asked, sitting on his bed.
I sat next to him. "About a week. We're just going to the cabin and can come back if we need too. The doctor didn't want us to go far while Ari's pregnant."
We had sat them down when we found out and had been very truthful about the baby. I was surprised they had taken it well, but was happy that they seemed excited to have a little brother or sister. We had decided to wait because Ari mostly didn't want to get her hopes up so we didn't know what we were going to have. She had told me that she didn't want to get her hopes up no matter if it was a boy or a girl and then be disappointed if something happened. I agreed because I understood why she was like that. She had been emotional, more than Tara, but no different then other pregnant women. I walked back into the living room and to my wife.
"Hey, ready?"
She smiled and took my hand. "Of course, Mr. Teller"
I smiled and pulled to me, kissing her on the lips. "Then let's go, Mrs. Teller."
I led her out to my Dyna and helped her get on behind me. She wrapped her arms around me and then I pulled out, heading out on the path to starting over with the woman behind me on my bike.
Alright, and here's the end to this story. I know it's short and not my best, but this is how my creative juices said it should end. Until the next one...Brianna
