Not a Crow [Jax Teller ~SOA]

Chapter 36

(Her dress)

Gemma had managed to pull it off. Within a few days, Gemma had gotten together a full-on SAMCRO wedding. Melody had asked Unser to walk her down the aisle and he told her he'd be honored.

Melody's hair was curled into a half-up, half-down style with baby's breath weaved throughout it. The wedding was exactly where Opie and Lyla got married a month prior. Jax and Melody decided to wait until after the wedding to announce the pregnancy. Well, actually Jax wanted to announce at the reception and Melody agreed.

"Hey sweetheart, we're all set" Unser said knocking on the door to the trailer Melody was using to get ready.

"Almost done" Melody said applying a little more mascara to her eyelashes.

"I got the car running with a full tank of gas if you wanna bail" Unser said making Melody laugh.

"As much fun as that sounds, I think I'm okay" Melody replied standing up and grabbing her bouquet of white roses with baby's breath and eucalyptus. "Don't let me fall" Melody said to Unser as she looped her arm around his.

Melody could hear the band startup as they made it to the beginning of the aisle. Everyone had stood and turned to face the pair. Melody looked ahead to meet those baby blue eyes that just made her melt. When they got to the end of the aisle, Melody turned and kissed Unser on the cheek. Jax took her hand and led her in front of the reverend. Jax had on jeans and a tight white button-down with his cut overtop.

"You look beautiful" Jax whispered softly and Melody blushed. The ceremony was short and sweet, but Melody had requested to write their own vows.

"Jax, before I knew you, I didn't have a family. I was alone. Now I have a mother-" Melody looked towards Gemma and smiled. "I have a beautiful son and I'm about to marry his daddy who is better than any man I could have ever imagined. I know you will always protect us, but I need you to know I will protect you too" Melody said tearing up slightly. "If someone had told me two years ago that this is where I would be, I would've told them they were nuts" This earned some laughs then Melody looked into Jax's eyes and smiled effortlessly. "I love you Jackson Teller" Melody wiped a few tears away ending her vows.

"I never like admitting when other people are right, but my mom had said to me shortly after you arrived in Charming that I'd marry you one day" Jax said and Melody smiled wondering how it seemed forever ago she arrived in this small town. "You became a mother to my son even when you were never asked, and I can't imagine anyone else taking your place, you are beautiful, caring and I know Abel was brought into this world so we could end up together" Jax continued making Melody cry softly. "I love you Mel, you and Abel are my world" Jax ended squeezing Melody's hand.

"And what else" Opie said returning the favor making Melody laugh.

"And I promise to treat you as good as my leather and-"

"Ride you as much as my Harley" Everyone once again chimed in as the reverend then pronounced them husband and wife. Jax pulled Melody closer and kissed her softly but passionately.

Later

The reception was in full swing when Jax stood up clinking a glass to get everyone's attention.

"Alright everyone, Melody and I have an announcement to make" Jax said holding out his hand so he could help his wife to her feet.

"I'm pregnant" Melody said and the party erupted into cheers. Slowly but surely everyone made their way to congratulate the happy couple on both occasions.

"Jackie boy, you just married the lass and she's already pregnant" Chibs joked making Melody laugh and Chibs leaned in to hug Melody. "Congratulations darlin" Chibs said and Melody thanked him.
