Teen Mom: SAMCRO Edition

Chapter Four: Opie

Opie married his old lady in a ceremony officiated by an Elvis impersonator and witnessed by two random drunk tourists that they had found in the lobby of The Little White Chapel. Bobby would have been proud. He was surprised that he wasn't nervous when the King instructed him to say his vows. He wasn't even sure if he loved his bride or not but somehow he just knew that he was doing the right thing. Since the moment that Avery had told him she was carrying his baby, Opie had become obsessed with the idea of having a family. Sure, he had longed for a family of his own for years but there was something about Avery that made him almost fanatical about the idea. The blonde little pixie of a girl had gotten under his skin and was like a bad itch that Opie suspected he would never fully scratch. There was just something about knowing that she was carrying his kid that made him harder than steel. Avery belonged to him and him alone. That was why he was unsure of how he felt about her. Was he actually in love with her or was he just in love with the idea that she was a perfect match for his alpha male, dominant personality? Was it even possible to love someone you barely knew?

"Opie, are you okay? You seem kind of far away. Are you regretting this?" There was a tremendous amount of fear in Avery's tone.

"Baby girl, I was just thinking about how much I don't regret marrying you." Opie was seated on the end of the bed in the honeymoon suite that he had sprung for for the weekend because his old lady deserved the best. He looked up and saw his wife standing in the doorway of the bathroom wearing nothing but a light pink satin bra and matching panties and his mouth went dry. Even though she was only three months along, given her tiny frame, Avery was already starting to show. There was a slight swelling of her stomach and her tiny breasts were swollen and starting to spill out of the cups of her bra. Holy fuck. That beautiful little sexpot was his wife. How the fuck had that happened? At the point, Opie didn't care how badly Jax beat the shit out of him...it was worth it. Avery and their kid were worth it. "Damn, you're sexy woman. Come here," he held out his hand to her. When Avery was standing in front of him, he leaned down and laid a kiss on her belly, above where their baby grew. "Thank you for this, Avery," he rubbed her bump as he pulled away.

Avery ran her hands through his loose hair. "Thank you for not leaving me on my own. Thank you for giving me a shot at having the kind of life Kristina has. I really want this to work, Opie. I want a life with you." Opie could hear tears in his bride's tone and was concerned but he let her finish saying what she needed to say. "I don't know if it's pregnancy hormones or what but I feel like I'm going insane because I'm feeling things I shouldn't."

Opie moved further up the bed to lean against the headboard and Avery moved to sit on her knees in front of him. He reached out and took her hand in his. "What are you talking about? What has you so worked up, baby? I'm your old man, you can talk to me."

Avery chewed on her bottom lip for a moment before she finally answered him. "There's something about you, Opie, and I don't know what it is. When I showed up in Charming for Jax and Kristina's wedding, I was so jealous of what they had and I wanted it for myself. Then I saw you at their place one day, even though you didn't even notice me and I wanted you from that moment on. I don't drink but I did that night because I wanted to get up the courage to talk to you. I wanted you to notice me. I wanted to be your old lady. Now, I am and everyone we care about is going to be so pissed off but I'm deliriously happy about this baby and about being your wife. My brain is screaming that I'm insane and that it isn't possible but my heart is screaming back, just as loudly, that I love you."

Opie grinned. He couldn't help it. Avery was feeling the same way he was. It was real. "You know," he pulled her into his lap. "The concept of love, at first sight, has to exist for a reason. I say we just go with it, baby because I don't know why either but I'm now pretty positive that I love you too and I'm totally cool with it." He gave her a quick kiss. "You're my old lady, Avery, and you have my full attention for the rest of my life. You never have to go looking for it again. I'm just as much yours as you are mine."

Avery smiled brightly before leaning in and initiating a kiss for the first time in their short relationship. "I think I need that reminder now, Opie," she smirked when she pulled away.

Yep. His pretty young bride was totally trying to kill him...and he was cool with it because what a way to go.
