Chapter 19 - Mawwiage

Amelia

Sleep came so easily after our short evening. Maybe it was the whole ordeal of Jax and Chris rescuing me or just the last three days of being held captive. Or it was just simply being held by Jax, my now fiancé. I could not help but mess with him when he asked. I wanted to yell 'yes' the second he finished that sentence, because I had realized over the couple of months that I did need him in my life in every way possible. The three days with Lucis only solidified my thoughts of Jax and our family, I could not live without them and I wanted everything I could get.

My time alone and with Lucis did not weaken me like Jax was fearing, it only made me stronger. I wanted to do everything possible so I could protect my future. When I was not drugged up I watched Lucis's men spar and train, I wanted to be able to take someone down the way they could. I wanted to know how to shoot a gun and defend myself. I was no longer the week broken Amelia anymore, I wanted to be able to protect those that I love at all costs. I still wanted to mess with Jax though, I could still be the Amelia my friends love and be a badass right? So of course, I could not resist to delay my response.

I could not stop lying in bed and staring out the window, I know Jax was not in the bed anymore, but I could hear talking in the living room. He had vowed last night before falling asleep that he would never be more than a few feet away, he could not bear me being away from him. It felt good to hear both Jax and Chris's laughter coming from the room, from what I could remember I saw each of them look like they beat each other up. I had warned Chris that Jax would punch him when he found out, and I just know he did.

The smell of coffee was what started to get me moving, once I sat up an appendage in my bladder made me rush. While I was in the bathroom, I showered and placed on a pair of clean black leggings and white tank top. After brushing my hair and throwing it into a lose bun I headed out to the living room. When I reached the room, the guys were looking at papers and documents sprawled across the table while the afternoon news played in the background. Shit, I had been in bed since noon.

"Hey baby," Jax came up to me with a cup of coffee and plate full of various breakfast foods. "We had breakfast brought up and probably more food soon." He sat me down in the a chair near where they were working. "Once you are done eating we will go over somethings with you." He kissed my forehead and walked back to Chris. The table was littered with various maps, documents, and photos.

When I finished my food; I took it back to the kitchen area and sat back down on my chair, slowly rubbing my belly, and waiting for one of them to move so I could relax more. Once I did Jax came up to me and kneeled down on the floor, placing his lips to my belly, and caressing the sides. I could not get enough of this. His face was radiating of pure love and lust like his whole world was right here, technically it was. The few things he would kill and die for were right in front of him and behind him. I drug my fingers through his hair and smiling back at him, I wanted to live in this world of bliss, but I know it was impossible.

"As much as I want to stay this way love," he kissed my belly again as the twins moved, they were reacting to their father's voice and I loved it. "We have some things we need to discuss."

"There has been quite a few changes in the last seventy-two hours." Chris was placing IDs and money into a messenger style bag. "It's not what we wanted but it will have to do for now."

I was now looking back and forth between the two. I was in for some shit. "Before we get started I want a few things." Both of them now were confused and it was just cute. "I need something cold, something sweet and something salty." Their faces relaxed as they chuckled. "I would ask for alcohol, but I can't yet."

After my demands were met I climbed onto Jax's lap and draped my legs over his. Chris sat next to him putting my feet up on his lap, he gently began massaging my feet while I ate my snacks. They began telling me the events of the last few days and some of their past. They had essentially gave up every little information on Lucis, down to hidden family properties to just find me. Chris explained to Ghost how Jax's family started all of them young. Every bodyguard was born into that life, every hit person was taught how to take someone out by twelve and that was just before the boys left.

In order to get the help to get me they agreed to work for Ghost. My boys agreed to be spies to bring me home. That information through me for a loop. I was not angry with them, but I was not happy. We had to leave our crew behind potentially for forever, Lucis would know after yesterday that they were linked with Ghost. After this week we would be going to a safe haven until there was a permanent safe location for the three of us, well five. Chris and Jax explained there needed to be plenty of room but also expressed that I would need the help. Everything they negotiated was in thought of me. They were even working on a job for me, so I was not stuck in the house all the time. Jax expressed to Ghost they did not want me working in the field or anything that would put me in danger, however, he knew it was up to me.

"What kind of madness did you guys get us into?" I laughed while drinking some of my pop.

Chris lifted my leg and gently placed a kiss to my ankle. So much happened so quickly. I instantly wanted us all naked from that and feeling both of them get hard from the simple affection from Chris. He spoke as he ran his hand up to my knee. "Between the both of us, we would do whatever it took to keep you safe." There was knock at the door. Chris pulled his gun while placing my foot back down and got up to check the door and chuckled. "Even if it means having you go see a doctor."

I was lost on why I needed a doctor, blame the pregnancy hormones on this. An older gentlemen walked in greeting Chris and shook both mine and Jax's hand. He explained to me that he was sent by Ghost to make sure that I was okay and so were the twins. They wanted to make sure that I would be okay to travel distances if needed. We lead him into our room, and I sat down so he could take my blood pressure. No surprise there it was a little high, the doctor understand why but suggested trying to eat healthier and rest more then I planned on. I laid down for him to check the twin's heartbeat. To me it was routine, but I realized for Jax this was the third time he got to hear them. He was just as happy to hear them as he was last time. The doctor was incredibly pleased to hear that both hearts were strong.

The last thing he did was pull out the familiar travel ultrasound machine Penelope used. I was excited for this, from the books I read I knew their changes would be drastic. Plus, Jax had not seen his babies since before Christmas. The doctor placed the wand on my stomach, he instantly found our little man.

"This is the little boy and from what I can see he is looking good." He paused while moving the wand to measure him. "He definitely is going to be a big one like daddy." He showed us his hands, feet, and face. Printing off the profile for us to have.

He had me move to my left side so he could get a better look at the little girl. Moving the wand around again he commented. "Little girl is definitely tucked away behind her brother. She's a tad smaller than him but nothing too concerning, it's expected of twins." He stopped at her face and printed off her profile for us. "I should warn you though, your due date may be for May 23rd but there is a big chance that you could deliver before then." He looked at Jax "probably around April she needs to be on bedrest to just make sure stress doesn't send her into labor sooner."

Jax demanded I lay there for a nap while he led the doctor out of the room. Shortly after both Jax and Chris entered the room, climbing into bed with me. It was very soothing to have both of these giant guys on either side of me. Chris spooned me to where his cock rested on my ass, Jax attempted to get just as close with my belly but we managed. It freaked Chris out for a moment when my belly began to move but when two sets of different hands were on my stomach I felt at peace, the twins did not as they decided to kick away at the sudden warmth over them. I could feel Chris grin when they moved before we knew it we were all smiling.

I broke the silence "So according to Jax there is supposed to be a wedding tonight." I looked up at Jax. "What exactly is your plan?"

"We have a reservation for later this evening at Lakeside Weddings." Chris started "I think between the both of us we got plenty figured out."

Jax laughed "Honestly it wasn't too hard. However, do you mind if we do things a little different?"

These two got this ready for Jax and I, it was sweet and nerve wracking. Jax explained that he had wedding rings waiting for us at the location, my dress was in the living area closet and it would not take that long. Then Jax brought up the difference he was referring to. Legally him and I would get married tonight, which I learned it was February 16th, but they wanted the three of us to do a commitment ceremony after our actual marriage was done. Chris had explained while I was missing they discussed the feelings we all knew we had and was failing to admit. I did love Chris in his own way, but I loved Jax more. Come to find out we all felt the same way. Chris loved us both equally but could never see tying himself down to either one or anyone, however we were the ones he would get the closest with.

Jax was okay with this in many different ways, he said it was pretty fucked up, but I understood it. The three us had a fucked-up relationship but you would not or could not get one without the other now. It all felt right, I did not think it would, but it did. I rolled over facing Chris, grabbing his chin tilting it down and I planted a kiss to his lips. Our mouths lingered on one another before it became passionate and demanding. I could feel Jax's and Chris's erection growing and heat pooling between my legs. I wanted these men and I wanted them now.

I grabbed both of their fully erect cocks and demanded. "I need you both now."

They did not hesitate before all three of us were naked, both of their lips were all over my neck, hands caressing every little part of me.

"Fuck Jax," Chris growled. "Since you had her last night can I go first?"

Jax's hand found my clit and he rubbed while the back of his hand graced Chris's cock. I felt them both twitch at something so simple, Jax responded. "Let's both fill her now and then switch when we get in the shower."

"Deal" both Chris and I said.

"Straddle him love, it's comfortable for you." Once I was on his lap he purred into my ear. "When you are comfortable I will go into your sweet sexy ass."

I followed as I was told and slowly lowered myself onto Chris. I could feel him get harder when Jax grabbed him to guide him into me. I was defiantly getting into my guys touching each other. We both moaned when our hips were flushed. I rocked once before Chris stopped me.

"Tiger, it's been just as long as Jax so just sit still until Jax is in."

I sighed in frustration because it was not going to take long for me to come, there was a plus side to this pregnancy. I could alone get myself off in a couple of minutes. Two different cocks in me at once and it would be instant, but I just wanted the release now. I complied though and Jax was at my back entrance, he paused and whispered into my ear.

"How about we do something different?" He locked eyes with Chris as if he were talking to us both. "I want in her pussy as well. I want to feel you both."

Chris's words were a hard whisper and a groan. "Fuck please."

Jax's head moved to my entrance and he waited for a second, just so we could all grasp what was going to happen. It was not just the sex, but it was also like he was asserting that he was the lead in this triad. He would be our protectors; he was the alpha and we were his. Jax slowly pushed himself in, taking his time for me to adjust to both. The slight burning of both of them stretching me was amazing, I was not sure who was who. Jax waited again as our breathing slowed before he began thrusting. He was slow at first to make sure Chris was on the same page for movement. Chris grasped my hips holding me in place, I did not protest because I was focusing on my climax.

"I am so close boys!" I screamed.

"I am too tiger." Chris moaned. "Jax move faster."

A growl escaped his throat. "Fuck yes, you're both mine!"

The simple statement from him and I could feel their pulses followed by warmth filling me. I screamed and clenched down on both of them trying to ride the climax out it was too much, but it was amazing. I collapsed onto Chris, he rubbed my shoulders and kissed my head as Jax rubbed my hips. After he pulled out he pulled me into his arms and began carrying me.

He kissed my head "Let's get into the shower and ready for our wedding."

All three of us entered into the giant waterfall shower, the water was warm and relaxing. Lately I could not get enough of them, they always helped relax me but right now I was very relaxed. Warm water falling down on me, two sets of hands washing my body from head to toe while two sets of lips trailed along my neck. I wanted to stay in here for as long as possible but before I knew it the water was shutting off. I let out a moan of dissatisfaction and protest.

"Love, we have a wedding to go to." Jax kissed my neck while handing me another fluffy white robe.

Chris handed him both towels and wrapped up before heading out of the room. When he returned he held three garment bags and handed me one. I hug it up on the door and opened it. The inside showed a simple white spaghetti strap dress, the top looked like a tiny intricate wraps that dipped down a little. When I placed the dress on it managed to reach the floor almost at least. My necklace laid perfectly above my cleavage. When I looked into the mirror the whole thing looked amazing on me and I actually was impressed I did not look more pregnant in the dress. I had walked into the bathroom to apply my usual routine of makeup and applied some lipstick that was surprisingly packed in my bag. I was able to perfect my natural waves and placed a simple barrette that held my hair half up. A few strands slipped to my side of my face, but I left it. I was ready.

When I left the bathroom and entered the living area, I saw Jax decked out in black suit pants, long black sleeve shirt and fiery red tie, his hair was slicked back. He looked stunning, his eyes were stunning grey and almost blue for once. Chris was behind him almost sporting the same outfit but with short sleeves, his blonde hair was now in a bun and almost perfect. When I walked up to Jax he caught mine, his look I am sure matched mine. He was speechless

His breath hitched for a second before he spoke. "You look like a Goddess right now." He came up to me a gently kissed me.

Short ride later we were at a lake side venue. I could not believe something so simple but yet beautiful. A wire alter held various colors of lilies that I loved deeply. We walked up to great the minister and discuss the details or our marriage and commitment ceremony with Chris. I did not care about the look he gave just the look of love I was seeing for these two. Jax would be everything to me and our kids. Chris would be there for both of us if we needed to be brought back from the depths of whatever and we would be his hope.

When we stood at the alter I do not remember the minister asking for vows but Jax began. "My sweet Amelia. Before we met I did not think anything was possible, happiness, longing, a place in this life or even love. The day I saw you at that club, I could not stop thinking about you. There was not a dream that you were not in. You are the moon of my life. That is all I know and all I need to know. And if this is a dream, I will kill the man who tries to wake me. I love you."

Jax placed a beautiful white gold ring with a simple princess cut diamond with it was a band that had the 'Deathly hallows' symbol and 'Always' engraved on the outside of the band. It was beautiful and simple. I could not have been happier to have this simple thing placed on my finger.

The minister then proceeded and asked me to say my vows. How could I put into words how much I loved this man? "Jaxson, I didn't have much before I met you. I thought the crew we had was enough. Then I met you and I realized…" I paused trying to hold my tears in. The first thing that came to my mind "I would rather spend one lifetime with you, then face all of the ages of the world alone."

Jax looked at me and smiled. "I said that to you the first night we spent time together." He gently tucked a lose strand of hair behind me as I placed a matching band to Jax's finger. We said our I dos and passionately kissed me when the minister said that he could kiss me.

The minister excused himself for a few minutes to think of a way to do a commitment ceremony for the three of us. Before the minister came out Chris showed us three similar silver bands, each one had golden like swirls. I was in aww of the bands. There was words across them not swirls each band read the same thing. Omnia vincit amor, et nos cedamus amori

Chris spoke "It reads Love Conquers all; let us too yield to love. It's in Norse."

Jax chuckled because my expression must have held many questions. "There was a reason Chris is referred to as a Viking God. His father and mother are Norse or what use to be Norse."

The minister came out and asked the three of us to hold hands together. He asked Jax and I to repeat the same words at once to Chris. "With this ring, we give you our hearts, we promise from this day forward, you shall not walk alone, may our hearts be your shelter, and our arms be your homes." Chris repeated the same and placed the simple bands on our right ring fingers. Chris explained he wanted it that way, he felt the rings Jax and I wore were more meaningful then his. A sick part of me wanted my therapist from rehab to see this now. She would be all over on how this worked, and we all needed to see someone because this was not right, blah blah. But it was, it felt so right. Jax was now my husband and Chris was our partner. We were partners in this all in our own fucked up way.

The guys thanked the minister and he thanked them. He had realized that our Triad was built on love and trust. All of us had a common ground and they all had a common goal. The minister talked about how he rarely saw something like that and only wished us the best in our future. It hurt when he mentioned our future because now my guys were spies or going to be and there could be a chance neither of them would come home to me. I pushed that negative thought away, today was to be happy and somewhat carefree.

Since we could not really go anywhere fun or in general we were stuck in our hotel room for the evening. Actually, it was for remainder of the week, I was not fond of the whole situation because I really wanted to get out visit the city. Jax promised me once things were calmed down we could travel wherever I wanted. The way he was talking you would think that he just promised the world. For now, I was promised control over the television and order anything I wanted from room service. Whenever I wanted a bath Jax would get the water ready and sit in it with me, Chris would provide countless body massages that were pregnancy friendly and when I watched a movie they both would sit with me. Always in Jax's lap and my feet over Chris's.

Nighttime routine was something different and I wasn't sure how to respond to it, but I knew from before that Chris liked to sleep alone, he would be okay laying with me and Jax until we were asleep but then he would go lay on the couch. Jax had explained Chris had nasty nightmares where he would get violent and could not bear hurting someone while they sleep. By the second night I was better with it when I could hear him talking in his sleep. Jax always comforted me and held me at night. His hands rarely left my stomach as he wanted every chance he could get to feel the twins moving.

Halfway through our stay the guys received a call from the agents that helped them find me. They had no confirmation that Lucis was dead, when they searched the cars that exploded they were burnt beyond recognition. Every DNA pulled would be tested with Jax's to make sure that his father was amongst the dead. Software recognition was being used to see if he would be spotted outside of Santa Rosa as well as any of Lucis's men that were sent to look for us. Ghost was working on a way to make sure the man stayed out of power. One of Lucis's right hand men was not at the facility or in any of the cars, so there was the chance he could take over. We were assured the three of us did not need to worry and just needed to focus on making sure we stayed safe.

Towards the end of our stay I took their laptops away because they were both reading baby websites and telling me about the size of my uterus now or things my body would be doing here in a month or two. The last straw with the laptops was when they began looking into baby names. They both wanted to name little girl 'Sheila' so they could mimic something from Halo. I agreed only if we could name little man 'Anakin', that stopped them because Jax did not want his son to be called Annie while at school. It was cute to see them discuss names; I did warn Jax we needed to be getting serious soon with names. I was also wanting so badly to get things ready for them and start purchasing baby items.

The Saturday we were set to leave I was actually excited. I wanted to get on the road, for now, I knew that would change in a few hours. We packed our bags up and made sure everything was cleared before we left to get into our cab. It was sad to only see the city from our ride, but we did need to get out of here. Word had gotten out Friday evening that we were in the wind, our crew was reassured we were safe but now there was a chance someone was looking for us. The directions we were given lead us to an airport parking garage as well as location of our vehicle.

We walked in silence until we found a black Malibu. Chris clicked the fob to make sure it was the correct one, he would not let either Jax or I near the car until he inspected it for any tampering. While Chris was crawling on the ground checking out the car, Jax wrapped his arms around me kissing my head. He seemed like he was lost in thought and always alert. Both of them had been that way since we left the safety of our hotel room. These were my protectors now; they were on the watch for any trouble. Chris walked up to us and informed us the car was cleared.

We piled into the car, Chris offered to drive until our first check point which was outside of Grand Junction, Colorado. The instructions had listed to check in within ten hours from the time we departed, which Jax had sent out our departure time from a burner phone. Once we reached the hotel our final destination would be sent to us. Neither of us knew where Ghost would be sending us which made it so nerve wracking at least the last time I left a life behind I knew where I was going.

The car ride was boring, on our first pit stop Jax moved into the back of the car with me. The three of us did not speak much because eyes needed to be focused on making sure we were not being followed. While Jax was in the back with me, I was able to talk baby names with him.

"I want something unique for them." I told Jax while munching on sun chips. "But something that won't get them picked on."

"That shouldn't be too hard, but I also think they should have something that can be bad ass." Jax smirked when he took one of my chips.

"How about Jyn for the little girl?"

"Like Jyn from Rogue one?"

"Yeah, I feel like she is a little fighter. Especially with always being behind her brother."

"That isn't bad, what about River or Luna?" He rubbed my belly. "I think those would fit her too. From the last ultrasound it looked like she did not put up with her brother's crap. Kind of like those two."

"Good choices." I took a sip of water to be met with a harsh kick from little man when I asked. "What about little man?"

"Well, I honestly thought about Cassian or Mace." He looked at me as if making sure I was not disgusted by his name choices. "Another thought was Draco or Viktor."

We could hear Chris snicker from up front. I threw a chip at him. "Got a problem with our baby names?"

He grabbed the chip that landed on his arm and popped it into his mouth. "Nah, it just showed how big of geeks you are. Seriously Star Wars, Harry Potter and the other two shows?"

"Chris your geek is showing." Jax chuckled. "Not once did we say where those names were from except Jyn."

"Damit" he mumbled and continued on watching the road.

Jax looked back at me and I stated, "I like those name choices, now we just got to narrow them down."

"I could say the names and see if they react to them?" Jax leaned over to kiss my stomach. He paused and said, "Viktor do you think you could protect little Jyn from all in the world?"

I could feel movement towards the back as the little girl moved, seconds later her brother moved. Acting already like his sister ran the show and he went with whatever she did. I smiled at Jax. "So, it's settled on first names. Viktor and Jyn. Now we just gotta do middle names."

Chris pipped in "Shit who knew naming babies was so demanding.��

We all chuckled but Jax spoke "How about Viktor Christian?"

Chris mumbled something but Jax stopped him. "I think it's only fair that he have his uncle's name as his middle name." Clearly he was referring to Chris, but it stopped his grumbling and a look of pride came over him. "However, Jyn might be harder for a middle name. Do you have any ideas love?" He kissed my stomach.

I honestly did not think because the only other person I had that was like Chris to do something like that was Emmet, but I could not give my little girl that for a middle name. "How about Jyn Emery?"

Jax only smiled at me while both of the twins decided it was time to kick more. They approved of their names as did their parents. I felt complete knowing I did not have to refer to them as just boy and girl, but it also made it so more real that we would be having these two in only a couple of months. I had so many fears going through my head and I desperately wished I had a friend who had kids or even my own mother to ask her these fears I was having. Lord would I kill to have a mother to talk to. Who knows where my own mother was or if she even cared? Thankfully, the guys talking about directions distracted them from the tears I was trying to hide. Fuck these emotions, I never cried over my mother essentially abandoning me. I was glad to be away from her because she aloud so much shit to happen to me with Philip alone. She was supposed to be my protector, but she was not. The only thing my mother gave me was how to not be towards my children.

Thankfully, a nap in the car helped the time pass, before we knew it we were in Colorado and only half hour away from our hotel. I pulled the secret compart to reach into the trunk and grabbed a bag that thankfully had coats in them. I started putting the grey jacket on, it thankfully went with my black leggings, white shirt, and brown knee-high boots. I was also stoked to feel it was warm. The guys looked at me as we stopped at our hotel while I began putting the coat on and a white beanie.

"Babe what are you doing?" Jax was very confused and boy was he going to be in for a surprise.

"We are in Colorado in February. It's going to be chilly outside." I opened to door and began to get out when a gust of chilly air went through the car. I could hear both of the guys swear. I only laughed and peeked my head back in. "Your coats are there in the back seat."

It was funny to see them hurry to get their coats on. I knew neither one of them had ventured outside of the west coast, so this was a culture shock for them. I secretly hoped our final spot would be in the Midwest or somewhere that had the cold, years away from the cold and I was still use to it. There was countless comments from the guys while walking to the hotel lobby of Grand Vista on how it was not bothering me much or how cold it was. Jax had managed to catch up to me when I reached the door, he opened it up for me and Chris was behind. I looked at them both and called them "Pussies"

Chris checked us in again with a new set of IDs and paid for our room. We head up to our room which was once again a suit at the top of the building. The guys had informed me it was best to either have the top or middle floor that way it would be easy to see if someone were coming or even going. Once in, I striped my coat and sunk down on the big comfy chair. Jax came up to me grinning and removed my boots from my feet. Sitting in a car for over eight hours can make one so tired.

Jax grasped my knee "Let us check the envelope to see where we are heading next. Then I will run a bath for us to relax and Chris will get us some food." I nodded my head and Jax walked over to the door. I did not realize that Chris had left to get our bags. Jax began talking to Chris. "Where would the instructions be Chris?"

Chris thought briefly. "The last hotel it was hidden in the bedroom closet but so was other items. So, I will check the bedroom closet. Jax check the bathroom, Mia check the desk since you are right there. If there isn't anything then check any drawers."

Mentally sighing at the fact, I might have to move but thankful that the desk was right next to me. I opened the desk drawer to see a binder that was used for local information. When I moved the binder a piece of manila envelope fell from up under, while moving my finger across I was able pull the envelope. It was full and waited at the end. I began slowly trailing my fingers along the sealed envelope and called out to the guys. "Hey, I have the envelope you're looking for."

I did not hear Chris's next words as I pulled papers out, he was asking something. In the envelope there were plane tickets to leave in two days, a set of car keys, house keys and deed to a house that was listed for Saylorvile, Iowa? No this could not be right. I looked over the papers and instructions that we would be settling into Iowa until further notice. Of all the fucking places in this world we would be going to a place that I was nowhere near ready to visit. I wanted nothing to do with that state, sure I was feeling immature right now that I did not want to go here, it was too close to pain that I was not ready to deal with. I could now hear Chris and Jax standing near me, they were trying to talk to me, but nothing was registering. I had accepted everything in my life and moved on but going back to Iowa was not part of this.
