That's your family

wedding omen?

I waited around the day, for everyone to get to TM so I can make an announcement. Chibs walked up and asked me to run to the liquor store to buy some stuff for the bar, good idea considering when I actually tell people we will be heavy duty drinking. Once I showed up with the boxes they were taken out of my hand from my mother who asked if I could help Tig with the boys tonight and that Juice would prob have to spend the night at the clubhouse. I saw Happy threw the mirror but shook it off as I headed off to my brother's home. When I got there Tig was holding JJ close, who immediately wanted me to hold him. Tig made it a calming night, making dinner, putting the kids to bed. I even fell asleep on the couch watching movies with him. It actually really reminded me of when I lived with Kozik, not that I would admit that to Tig.

The next morning I wore the wedding band to work, and everyone was just so happy for me, even took me out to lunch to celebrate and with another school shooting everyone was glad to have something to celebrate about. One of the other girls, Sarah, who has been here since about six months after I started working here suggested that the promotion was going to be mine. That would be a real wedding gift, but when word gets around about Tara. Well I don't know that may change if I get it unfortunately. Jax had texted me that Tara was getting out, so I think today would be the best to tell everyone the good news. I texted Juice the good news, and he agreed tonight we tell everyone! I just watched the clock tick-tock all day until I could get out. 

 Gemma texted me that she set up visitation for her, and I to see Clay right after work. I met her at TM and dropped off JJ with a crow eater before driving up with her to see Clay. I forgot to take off the engagement ring and about 45 minutes into the ride she questioned, "So you and Juicy-boy finally tying the knot?". I smiled and looked at her, not bashful at all, "Yeah ma. He is making an honest woman out of me. I can't wait to tell dad."

I was the first one to see Clay. Hate to admit it but I really missed him. We talked and smiled and said goodbye before Gemma walked in. She ran out crying and ran into the bathroom crying. A detective sat by me and began talking like he knows me, then did the same to my mother. At least until she grabbed my arm and dragged me out of there like a child. 

She dropped me off at TM, said there was some business she had to deal with. So I called Tara and decided to visit her, I showed her the ring and she congratulated me while the babies played. When Jax came home he kissed me head and I packed up JJ and thanked them. On the way out Jax grabbed my hand and looked at Tara. I smiled at him, "yeah, I'm getting married!" He congratulated, promised that I would celebrate with them when I could. I headed out home, falling asleep without Juice, but did wake up to a text from him saying that he had to stay with Gemma to help Nero, that he would crash at TM not to wake the baby. 

Work made it official. I am now managing the lab. My life seems to be coming together. I saw Tara during my lunch break and I told her about the promotion. Her hand is doing fine and we had some much needed girl time. 

 The first person I saw at TM was Juice. My face dropped when I saw his face. He walked up to me and kissed me, then got JJ out of his car seat before I could even ask about the face. He saw my concern and kissed my hand, "It was nothing babe, you know how this happens sometimes. Promise Chibs fixed me all up last night. Now come here." He pulled me with one arm and kissed JJ's forehead before kissing my own.

I made him at least try to make it home at a decent hour, let us celebrate with a family dinner. I took all three of us for some nice Italian and enjoyed spending time with my two men. I was even more excited when I got home and put JJ to sleep, only to have my soon-to-be husband really show me how proud he was of me.

In the morning Juice had taken care of JJ and even made me a small breakfast. I was so happy on my way to work, that even the new techs messing up and me correcting them didn't ruin my day. I left the JJ with him, gave him a sweet, deep, kiss and headed out to work. When I got off work I ran some errands since Gemma had JJ and it was actually nice getting some quiet time to get things done, trust me have a kid and you will find out. I've found at night Juice and I have been looking and talking about general ideas for the wedding. It seems all of my free time is dedicated to trying to decide what to do. I really do not think that I can do this by myself, I have never planned a wedding before. Next time I see Juice, I am going to ask him about us getting a wedding planner. I thought about too if I should tell Happy before anyone else. I don't know why, I don't think he would care anyways. We haven't talked in what seemed like forever.

Tara had called me during my lunch break a few days later, she wanted me to know, mother-to-mother, that Unser was attacked this morning. She said he was mostly worried about the kids since sometimes we drop them off early. A text from Happy demanded that I go straight to TM with JJ after work, that he will escort me himself. Sure enough as I walked out of the hospital Happy came up and took JJ, helping me buckle him in his car seat. When the SUV door shut I finally admitted, "I'm getting married". He looked at the ring and at me, "'bout time" and them hopped on his bike. I don't know what kind of reaction it was, not what I expected, but also not surprising at all.

That night was the first time everyone was together, but really not the time to announce my engagement, Juice understood that. Gemma told me that Otto passed and I cried. I slept in the familiar backroom with my son. With Juice, Jax, Tig, and Happy gone the clubhouse even stuffed with people, seemed empty. I helped Gemma cook everyone breakfast, took the day off work, and  went to my old lady duties. Since Jax and Happy already knew I decided I would make the announcement today, we all needed some good news. I stayed in all day, waiting for the perfect time, Chibs brought everyone up to date as what they can tell us what is happening and I stood on a chair, "Actually ya'll I know that this has been rough. I have been wanting to spread some good news! Chibs can you get Jax for a sec?" When Jax came out I gave him a shy wave and Juice helped me off the chair. I took the engagement ring from my pocket and Juice put it on my figure. "We are getting married!" Chibs was the first one to give me a hug and tell me how proud he was, and others were soon in line to do the same. I watched Chibs walk off with Jax, and as Tara whispered to me, "took you enough time to announce it" I laughed so loud. Chuckie went to tap a keg and Juice was soon off taking shots with the boys as I went to put JJ to bed with their cousins. When Thomas started to cry I told Tara I would watch Abel. Thank god JJ is easy to put to sleep. I snapped a picture of him and Abel all cuddled up and cried a little bit. Mostly from joy.

I herd screaming and Jax busted in taking Abel and my hand to run. Chibs pushed me in front of him and took JJ. We barely made it to the other side of the lot when the whole building blew up. Like that my childhood gone. Surely this wasn't an omen for the wedding?
