Chapter 16.

You ain't nobody until you've got somebody.

I stand in front of the oval body-length mirror and stare at my reflection. My hourglass figure is hugged by my off-white lace dress, and my dark hair is in a bohemian updo with some of my fringe falling down, framing my face perfectly. My skin pops from the light color of the dress and the large engagement ring sits on my finger. My make up is simple, my lips are plain, and the veil goes down to the train of my dress. I let out a small sigh in the mirror and get broken from my thought when the door opens.

I turn around and see Gemma standing there, a grin on her face. "You look beautiful, baby." She walks over to me and pulls me into a loving embrace. I smile back at her.

"Thanks, Gem." She can tell somethings off and gives me a concerned look.

"What's wrong?"

I just shake my head, "Nerves, I guess. Can't believe this is really happening." I admit, the butterflies growing worse and worse in the pit of my stomach.

She just chuckles, "Don't be nervous. You two are meant to be together, everyone knows that. It'll work out and the club will protect you no matter what." She does her best to reassure me and I nod, accepting her advice. "Now, we don't want to keep everyone waiting, do we?"

I smile, "Of course not." And with that, she takes my hand, leading me out of the room and down the hallway of the older home. We get to the doorway and I see my dad waiting for me. He turns around and his eyes widen, immediately filling up with tears.

Gemma smiles at him and gives his shoulder a reassuring squeeze before walking out back to where everyone else is waiting. Dad walks over to me and smiles, reaching for my hand and taking it in his own. "You look absolutely stunning, Ally girl." He kisses the side of my cheek and grins. "I can't believe you're getting married."

I grin back at him, tears filling up in my eyes as well. "I know, I never would have thought."

"He's lucky to have you. I know he'll treat you right. I love you so much, baby girl." He says as we stand at the step of the house. "I'm so proud of you and everything you've become. I'm sorry I wasn't around as much as I should've been."

I shake my head, "Dad, you have nothing to apologize for. This is a new chapter, a new start for all of us. I'm in Charming now, and I am so happy to have you around. You're here now and that's what matters."

Dad just nods, "You're right, kid." He kisses my cheek quickly, "I want you to know that you and Jax have my full support. I mean it. I love the both of you a lot and want nothing more than this whole thing to work out. I wouldn't have picked a better guy for my little girl."

"I'm lucky, Dad. Thank you for being there for everything." I say quietly, looking into his eyes and sharing this moment with him.

"It's my job, Ally. Now, are you ready to get this show on the road?" Tig says with a tear sliding down his cheek.

I nod, smiling at him and letting a tear fall down my cheek as well. Dad gives my hand a reassuring squeeze as we turn the corner and are met with the walkway lined with flower petals. Everyone is seated in wooden chairs and Jax is standing in front of the minster in his cut and a button up white shirt.

Everyone turns from their gaze to Jax and look at my father and I who are walking down the aisle. My dad's hand squeezing my own as he smiles at his brothers during one of the largest moments of his life. I take a deep breath and feel my eyes welling up with more tears as I look down the aisle and see Jax waiting there patiently with a large grin smeared across his face.
