This is my shot at doing One Shots of the SONS. This will be fluff, some cursing, a little bit of violence.

Summary: It's Christmas Eve and you are reading your son Abel and Thomas the book The Night Before Christmas.
T'was the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse, all the stockings were hung by the chimney with care in hopes the St. Nicholas will soon be here.
I was reading to my boys Abel and Thomas a book my mom would read me when I was little, so I started it back up when I had my boys. They loved it and we would sit around the Christmas tree and I would read to them, usually Jax would be here but unfortunately a last minute run came up and I was upset.
I met Jackson when I first moved to Charming to be closer to my Uncle Bobby who was a member of the Sons of Anarchy, I fell instantly in love with him but it wasn't easy for him to get with me because of Bobby because of his repetition with women but there was something that intrigued him about me and wanted to show my uncle he could be faithful.
" Jackson I love you brother my McKenzie is off limits, she ain't a Croweater or a Sweetbutt." Bobby told him one day.
" Look Bobby I respect what you are saying but man there is something about her that I can't to seem to get her off my mind." He said truthfully
He pursued her for a while and finally she caved and gave him a chance, she was glad she did he showed her she was the only one, then she told him she was pregnant and he was so happy.
" McKenzie I am so happy to be a dad." He told her as she handed him the ultrasound picture and he kissed her. He had asked her to be his Old Lady a few months back and she was happy.
" I am happy to be a mom, Jackson this is a dream come true." She has always wanted to be a mom and now she was.
He went to every appointment and when they found out they were having a boy he was super excited, he had someone to follow in his footsteps. We decided to name him Abel Nathaniel Teller, he came a bit early because of a chronic health problem but non the less we were happy he was here.
Around the time he was one I started to read the book to him and he loved it, he would cuddle into my lap with his favorite blanket and teddy bear while listening to me read, then when he was asleep Jax would pick him up and take him to bed while I put the presents out along with milk and cookies.
Christmas morning was the best because he was excited to see everything even though he was still little it was good non the less, then we headed to Gemma's for dinner and more presents. Abel was their world and he was super spoiled.
When I found out I was pregnant again Abel was happy to be a big brother and wanted to read to my belly so his little brother because he knew he was a boy it was the cutest thing, when we found out that we were having a boy Abel said he knew and was happy.
Again Christmas Eve I read the book but now we had Thomas John now part of the tradition, Jax put them to bed and I did my routine. I loved my family and didn't want to change it for anything. We decided to move into a bigger house for the kids and they seemed to love it, I had to reassure them Santa would find us when we moved in and that seemed to be satisfied.
This year has been rocky with the Club and between Jackson and I, it seemed we were drifting apart. He was taking more runs and when he got home he stayed at the Clubhouse, I was hurt to say the least was he seeing someone else? Was he tired of me? So many questions ran through my mind, here again it was Christmas Eve and was reading to the kids without their dad to be there to put them to bed so we decided to camp out in the living room and reassured them that Santa would still come.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads; And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below, When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,
With a little old driver, so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick. More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
I noticed they were drifting asleep to this part of the book like always and I sighed looking at the boys and missing their dad and the thinking about the fight we had before he left.
" In all my years with you the Club never had a run the night before Christmas, why all of sudden now? Wait who is she?" I asked
" We had something come up Jesus women get used to it you are a Old Lady know your place, and there isn't anyone besides you god your paranoid." * Slap* I have never laid a hand on him he was talking to me like one of the whores at the Club thank god the boys were at Gemma's.
" Don't ever talk like that to me like a whore, don't come home like any other night." I walked away before he could answer. He left and I cried until I couldn't anymore.
I had fell asleep after putting the presents out and the treats for Santa and his reindeer that was added to the tradition, the boys were fast asleep on the couch and I was in the recliner until I heard the door open and shut. So I grabbed the gun and saw a figure in the kitchen.
" Get out now or its the coroners van for you." I said
" McKenzie it's me." Jax turned on the light but I didn't put the gun down.
" Babe put it down." He asked
" Why should I why are you home? Get enough of your whore?" I asked
" Look their was no run, babe I wanted to do this tomorrow in front of the kids but I can't wait." He got done on his knee and pulled out a ring

I lowered the gun and put my hand over my mouth,
" Jax this is why you have been so secretive?" I asked tearing up
" Yes I have been taking extra runs, extra shifts at the garage for this and our venue for the wedding I want the best for you McKenzie. Marry me?"
I couldn't say it but I nodded my head and he put it on my finger, took the gun and put it on the table, he lifted me up and kissed me. He was so sweet.
