My eyes shot open and I turned to look at my small bedside calendar. My eyes lit up as I saw it was finally my one year anniversary with Opie. I threw the covers off of my bare body and dressed myself into one of Opie's shirts, heading to the kitchen where I could smell coffee and food.

He was standing my the stove keeping an eye over the food, his upper body completely bare, with all of his hair pulled up into a bun at the back of his head. As quietly as possible I tip toed up behind him and I wrapped my arms around him, resting my cheek against the middle of his back.

I felt his breath hitch as I pressed a soft kiss to the middle of his back. He turned to face me and his face broke out in a wide smile. "Happy Anniversary." I grinned getting up on my tip toes to press a soft, gentle kiss to his lips.

"Is it crazy that it still feels like I'm dreaming?" He asked me.

"No, but if we are I never wanna wake up Opie. The life you've given me since I've been back it's been better than I could ever imagine Opie." I told him caressing the side of his face softly.

"I couldn't have said that any better baby." He leaned down and kissed me passionately.

We separated and I sat down at the table. He set a plate down in front if me and a steaming mug of tea. My plate contained scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage and toast. I smiled at him brightly before digging into the delicious food he prepared. Opie was an incredible cook, he just rarely had the time to do it.

"So do you have to work today?" I asked him. He shook his head. "Club shit?" I asked again. He smiled shaking his head.

"Nope. We've got plans today baby." He told me clasping my hand giving it a gentle squeeze before going back to his food.

When we finished Opie picked me up and carted me off to our bedroom. We must have spent over two hours in there before we even bothered to get dressed for the day. We kept getting distracted if you know what I mean. So by the time we actually left the house it was already twelve.

Opie took me out to lunch at the diner before we headed out to the clubhouse. Almost as soon as we arrived Gemma took Opie off to the side to speak to him and Jax approached me along with a pregnant Tara. They both hugged me tight. "Happy Anniversary." They told me.

"Thanks guys." I smiled.

Tig came over and threw an arm around my shoulders. "Daddy-O needs to see ya doll face." He told me.

I nodded and let him lead me to dad. "Hi daddy!" I greeted seeing him.

"Princess. I have some news for you." He told me smiling.

I gave him a confused look until I heard a woman clear her throat behind me. I spun around and squealed. "MAMA FEE!" I hugged her tightly.

"Oh love, look at ya." She whispered hugging me back.

"Kerrianne!" I greeted my baby sister hugging her close. "Oh I can't believe you guys are here. Dad and I have missed you so much." I told them both.

I spent some time with them, Opie coming in to see them as well. Eventually Opie looked at the time and said we had to get going. We got into the truck and headed out.

"Where are we going Ope?" I asked curiously.

"We are headed up to the cabin, meeting Ma there with the kids and spending the weekend together as a family." He told me.

I smiled happily and nodded. We drove along belting out the lyrics to songs we knew on the radio the entire way there. We made it to the cabin just before dusk, Mary having already gotten the kids settled she left when we arrived hugging us both.

Kenny and Ellie both rushed to hug me before conversing very quietly under their breath to their dad for a moment. "The kids and I have a little surprise for you Alyssa." He told me.

He stepped behind me and covered my eyes the kids each taking one of my hands leading me somewhere. When we got wherever they led me Opie asked if I was ready. I nodded and he removed his hand. We were at the dock behind the cabin.

A million lights had been strung and candles flickered in the wind. Rose and Orchid petals scattered the ground and I gasped at the beauty. "Alyssa, Ellie and I talked with dad. We hope you say yes because you've been like a mom to us since the day we met you. Dad even told us about how you call us your kids, so we want it to be offical... Will you adopt us and let us call you our mom?" Kenny asked, Ellie grinned widely beside him.

I had tears in my eyes and I embraced the both tightly. "Of course I will. It's an honor to be a mom to two amazing kids like you guys." I told them. I stepped back and they looked behind me and smiled.

I turned around to see Opie bent to one knee holding out a small black box, a ring resting delicately within. It had beautiful pale blue stones, wrapped into a black gold band. "Alyssa, I knew twenty years ago this day would come, I knew one day I would get the opportunity to ask you this question. I spent eighteen years of my life missing you because you've had my heart from the start. You are my best friend, my rock and the only woman I've loved this strongly. Alyssa, when I look at you I see a future of nothing but love and happiness in your eyes. I don't ever want to loose that again. I want that future, I want that love and happiness. I want the rest of my life with you by my side. Alyssa Telford, will you marry me?"

The love that shined in his eyes, the glint of hope and true happiness. It made my head spin as my tears finally fell. "Yes. How is this even a question? Of course I will!" I cried throwing my arms around him.

The kids cheered behind me and Opie held me tightly. He pulled away for a moment to slip the gorgeous ring on my finger. He hugged me again only for the kids to join in on it. "We love you mom." Ellie and Kenny said in unison.

"I love you both too." I sobbed happily.

"I love you soon to be Mrs. Winston." Opie whispered in my ear.

"I love you too Mr. Winston." I sobbed again squeezing the three of them tighter.

I couldn't have asked for a better life. This is the one thing I've dreamed about for years. Sure Ellie and Kenny were originally in my plans but ever since I met them, I couldn't imagine life without them. I'm not sure this could get any better.
