Realistic or Modern A Family Affair: The Irish Mob - IC (Ended)

Eli Porter

​

Eli let the aggression out by deeply exhaling out of his nose. "Right, these bloody "aristocrats" couldn't handle a proper street fight anyways." His sluggish eyes drew back to James as he mentioned Ciara. "Ciara..." Eli scrunched his face at the question, lightly shaking his head, "Nah, she's not really ladylike enough in the sense. She's too tough, and if I'm gonna' be attracted to someone who can handle they're own like she can, it's gonna be a boy who can take a beating." Eli was fairly open about his bisexuality, not caring much for other people's opinion and even offering them a place where they can go shove it. Still, his eyes lingered on Ciara momentarily, perhaps he did hold some sort of attraction for her. "I'll try and keep my hands to myself tonight, but no promises if one of these snarky pricks thinks i'm a busboy."

Elijah moved his hands to his pockets as Lucy came over to them. "I ain't got a present for you, Luce', but I figured me' presence would be enough." Despite his ability to socialize easily, the dead nerves in his face kept his expression deathly serious. "Isn't it nice to see two brothers reunited?" Eli moved his gaze back to James, looking him up and down. "Like the good, bad, and the ugly, except there's only two of us and i'm both the good and the bad." He patted James on the shoulder as he moved for a glass of vodka off the catering tray. He picked the olive toothpick out of the glass and flicked it onto the floor. "Bloody things only purpose is to stab ya'." He threw back the drink and swallowed the alcohol in one swift motion.

Fallon was fashionably late to the party but there was a perfectly good reason for it; she wanted to look perfect for Jackson. Her body was decorated in black that wrapped around her curves like a second skin. She decorated her face with make-up, painting her plush lips a blood red and her eyelids a nice shade of brown. Fallon tied her long hair into a messy bun, leaving curls to frame her face neatly. Fallon left her sister's home before catching a taxi to the party, gazing out of the window as the yellow taxi tab drove along, stopping just before where the road was closed off. Fallon thanked the driver before climbing out of the car. Just the outside alone looked overpopulated for Fallon's liking.

Her brown eyes scanned the area for Jackson, finally noticing Jackson yelling at a guy to leave. A coy smirk formed on Fallon's painted lips as she strolled across the road, admiring Jackson from afar before picking up her pace and placing her lips on Jackson as a surprise attack, gently placing her hands on Jackson's cheeks. She wait a few moments before stepping back and fiddled with Jackson's tie, "Hello, handsome," Fallon purred as she locked eyes with Jackson, "you're looking good." She complimented with a smile.

Jackson McCarthy

Jackson sighed as the reporters scampered away, pulling a cigarette from his pocket. He figured there were more nosy bastards to come, he just wasn't sure how many more he was going to have to chew out before he got to relax and have a drink. Just as he was about to stick the cigarette in his lips, he felt a petite hand rest on his cheek and soft lips press against his. Seeing as he was surrounded by all guys, he was prepared to sock the everliving hell out of whoever was getting cheeky with him. His features softened, however, when he saw who was kissing him.​

His natural smile grew relatively quickly at her presence. "Well, hello, Lovely." He had been up since five setting up security checkpoints and sorting people out - Fallon had no idea how good it was to see her. He looked down at her as she fiddled with his tie, unable to resist cupid's arrow stabbing at his heart. "Fallon, you take my breath away." He could hear the whistles and comments from his men, also approving of her appearance. Jackson turned his head to the guards, still holding his smile, "Right, lads, just cause i'm in the presence of a lady, doesn't mean I won't pump ya' silly." He turned back to Fallon, kissing her lips once more.

He put his arm Fallon's waist and nodded to his men. "You lot have it from here," He said, walking with Fallon towards the party. "I was wondering when you were gonna' arrive. You know how disappointed I was every time I looked up and expected to see you, only to see some half-witted reporter's bloody camera shoved in my face?" He squeezed Fallon lightly as he led her down the gravel road. As they moved up the driveway, he could feel the snub nose .38 slapping against his ribs in the shoulder holster. He was comfortable enough to say that pistol was going to stay home today, and that relieved him beyond belief. He opened up the main doors for Fallon, before walking in behind her.

Fallon giggled with a deadly stare at the sound of the other men whistling at her, wrapping her arms around Jackson's neck to show her commitment to him. Her younger years were filled with strangers who wanted nothing more than her body, but Jackson cared for her. Fallon allowed Jackson lead her up the winding driveway, her heels clapping against the concrete ground. Her heart seemed to flutter as Jackson spoke. Fallon raised her index finger and tapped his nose in a flirtly matter, "Did someone miss me?" Fallon cooed with a slight chuckle, placing a kiss on his cheek in a swift motion.

"I've missed you too," She sighed before stepping back to let Jackson open the door for her. Fallon's fingers intertwined with his as she gently pulled him inside, her eyes widen with awe as she examined the house. The sound of glasses clinking and laughter echoed through Fallon's ears, memories of her old life in Chicago flashed in her mind. This used to be her life and she missed it dearly. Fallon sighed, snaking her arm around Jackson's waist as she gazed into his eyes, "You know this place better than I do, mind showing me around?" She asked softly, raising an eyebrow.

Ciara Hennessy​

Ciara watched Kieran as he grabbed himself a glass of wine and began answering her questions. It was clear he hadn't expected this kind of conversation at a party and she supposed she should have saved such discussion for another time, but she hadn't got to where she was by holding back on her thoughts. Still, she knew she mustn't push the subject. Besides which, the young man had handled himself well and responded in a decent manner. Unlike the others in the past who had reacted far more furiously and condemned the heathen.

"Thank you for you response, Mr Joyce. Please accept my apologies for jumping on in to such a serious subject, but now I've got it out of my system I guess we can speak more naturally," she told him, relieved to have addressed what she knew would have become an elephant in the room.

"You have a wonderful family, I must add. You must be exhausted from flying in just last night, but I don't doubt they've made you feel right at home." Ciara hadn't had such a luxury of a caring family, with an abusive father and then her mother brutally murdering the man. The only family she had now was her older brother, Michael. In a way, the IWU had become the next best thing to family for the two siblings.

James Porter​

James nodded his head as his brother spoke about Ciara and then how he'd rather be with a guy who could take a beating. James had been around long enough for very little to shock him. If his brother wanted to date men, then it wasn't any of his business to judge him for it. "A busboy, seriously?! They're more likely to think you're someone's bodyguard with the way you're built, mate. We must make a point of working out together one morning," he offered.

James placed his arm around Lucy's shoulder and smiled as Elijah explained he hadn't got her a present. That caused him to look to the wall clock and decide he probably shouldn't keep his wife waiting for her gifts any longer. He was sure the guests were looking forward to getting the formalities out of the way too, so they could all get on with partying. He shook his head as his brother basically called him ugly. "Eli, you're too kind to your big brother. Thanks for that," he drily remarked.

"Alright, you two. Let's get to the main living room and let the birthday girl open her presents," James suggested, placing a kiss on Lucy's cheek. As they walking to the large party room, James explained to Elijah that he and Lucy had three adopted children, figuring the man wouldn't recall being told on numerous occasions before.

Conor Sullivan and Thomas Dempsey
​

Tommy and Braden stepped outside to where Conor and the others were. Tommy approached the group and pointed back towards the house. "James wants you both to head inside so Lucy can receive her presents," he told Conor and Peter. He then looked to Alex and smiled at her, having already introduced himself back at the security gates. "Alex, you should go too. Brady and I will watch over the girls," he suggested. It wasn't the first time he'd looked after the Callahans kids, so he didn't mind at all. Truth be told, he didn't want to go back into the party just yet, not after having some drinks first. He found it difficult to read Ali at times and she hadn't seemed as pleased to see him as he'd hoped, especially after their chat the previous evening.

"Alright, mate," Conor agreed with Tommy. "If the kids give you any lip, come tell me and I'll sort them out," he said to Tommy, whilst sending Braden a stern, but comical, expression. Conor waited for Peter and Alex before walking with them back into the house.

As the walked down the hallway, Conor saw his good friend, Jackson. He was about to call the man over and sing his praises to Alex when he noticed who the man's date was. It took a short while for him to realise why the woman was so familiar and then it finally hit him. He frowned in Jackson's direction before turning to Alex, an equally displeased look still on his face. "That looks an awful lot like your sister, Alex. Mind telling me what she's doing here?" he seriously asked. Considering James had murdered Fallon's father, it didn't sit well with him for her to be in the Porters' home. He glanced to Peter, figuring he'd realise what was going on. It was strange, but Conor couldn't help but feel betrayed in some way, especially if Jackson knew enough about Fallon to know how sensitive this could be.

**************​

James Porter​

Once the family and their closest friends had all congregated in the heart of the party, James realised the magnitude of what he was doing. Whilst many wouldn't think twice about standing up in front of everyone and speaking, it was something James had never liked. For some reason, getting up in front of his family was more nerve-wracking than speaking up in business meetings or knocking the living daylights out of some guy. Still, he wanted Lucy to know he was willing to step out of his comfort zone to make her feel special on her birthday. He took his wife's hand and held it as she stood by his side.

Ciara had asked Kieran if he wished to join her as she decided to stand with Elijah whilst James gave his speech. Sinead was still speaking with Ali and beckoned Peter to join her as she excitedly anticipated seeing Lucy accept her presents, including the one from the Callahans. Conor remained with Alex, quietly wishing to continue their discussion about Fallon whilst also giving his attention to James who was standing at the front of the room with Lucy.

"I'd like to thank everyone for coming here this evening, to celebrate Lucy's birthday with us," James began, his face looking a little flushed in that moment. He looked around at those present, Fallon's face being an unexpected one, but that was something to be addressed later. "I promised I'd say a few words and I'm taking the opportunity to do it right now, on the account that my scary mother-in-law, Shannon, is running a few hours late. That leaves only Jackson and Conor to heckle me," he quipped. "The reason I wanted to get up here and embarrass myself tonight was to tell Lucy how important she is." He sent his wife a fond glance and gently squeezed her hand. "If it wasn't for this smoking hot lady, I'm not sure where I'd be right now. She keeps me grounded and reminds me that I'm the luckiest man alive to have the best wife in the world. Delilah, Mallory and Arlo all have an amazing mother. Lucy and I adore our three children; cherishing the closeness and openness we all share," he said, his eyes setting on Mallory first and then Delilah. He then took a deep breath, noticing Conor rolling his eyes and yawning in a humorous fashion. James smirked and shook his head. "I won't get in the way of you lot and your drinks for much longer. So I'll start with my gift..." he relented.

Still holding Lucy's hand, James stepped so he was facing her directly. As he got down on one knee, it would perhaps become clear to most what was happening. He reached into his pocket and retrieved the small box. He opened the box to show her the sparkling white gold ring - an engagement ring? "We didn't get the best wedding the first time," he quietly began, still looking to the box in his hand. He then looked up to Lucy and cleared his throat, making sure to speak louder. "Lucy Porter. Will you marry me... again?" he asked her. His eyes were so full of love and sincerity that it perhaps drew the attention away from how red his cheeks were. The first time he'd proposed to her, they'd been alone and at one of Lucy's favourite spots in Chicago. This time he'd wanted to show he'd do anything, including stepping way out of his comfort zone and proposing in front of their family - typically a tough audience.

They had barely gotten beyond their vows at their first wedding and there were barely any photographs to show for it. James felt like things were now safe enough for them to have another wedding and with their kids present, it felt it would be even more special. He only hoped Lucy was willing to have another wedding now and that he hadn't completely misjudged.

Kieran Joyce
​

"You're right, Miss Hennessey, they are quite a pleasant bunch. It's nice to be around family." He smiled measuredly and added, "I wouldn't worry about causing offense, by the way. Speak freely as you like."

As it seemed evident that James was about to make the speech, he accepted Clara's invitation and followed her to stand by Elijah. The display was truly enough to melt the young man's heart, and a pleasant grin articulated itself on his face as he watched what he considered to be a gesture of Christ-like love and devotion, just dressed up fancily.

He leaned over so as to speak softly to Ciara. "It warms my heart to see him. You can see the love like reflectin' pools in his eyes." He said, sounding like a drunk with such sentimentalism but being quite sober.

[Melanin-Gxdess]

Aliana knew that Sinead meant well, but she was irritating her with all the questions. She rolled her eyes and smiled, placing both of her hands on her shoulders shaking her a little. "You're beginning to bug me, Sinny. I am okay." She was trying her best to get her friend off her back, but it didn't seem to be working. Especially when she brought up Conor. "Oh, I wish he was just barging into my home while drunk. That I can handle." With a dry chuckle, she tilted her head to the side. Did no one tell Sinead of what had happened? Giving her a curious look, she stuttered. "D-Did no one tell you?"

It annoyed her that Sinead had been left in the dark. Conor was her brother after all and that meant that he should have told her. When it came to Sinead, Ali was sort of protective over her. She considered Sinead to be her best friend and her feelings were important to ALi. "Those wankers. They didn't tell you?" Ali sat her down and began to explain everything. She didn't want to have to be the person to be telling her all of this, but since no one had she felt it her duty. Once she finished explaining, she set another cup in front of Sinead and one for herself. "Look, don't get upset about it here, okay? For Lucy, we are going to be on our best behavior." She told her. "Although, I think I may have already ruined that." Her face scrunched up before she shrugged her shoulders. "I'll make up for it later and let her yell at me. Now, are you okay, love?"

Sinead Callahan​

Sinead lowered her gaze and gave an apologetic look when Aliana told her she was starting to bug her. "Sorry," she mumbled. Her large eyes managed to open even wider when asked if no-one had told her. "Told me what?" she asked. She pulled a disapproving expression at Ali's use of a swear word, but figured she'd told her friend of her distaste for it many times before for it to hold much meaning anymore. Sinead sat down and listened as she explained about Conor's news regarding Alex and Michelle. As she looked to where Conor was, it only just registered that Alex was there too. They'd not seen or heard from her in over ten years.

Sinead took the drink Ali had offered her and stared into the cup. Any excitement she might have had about having a new niece was beaten down with the knowledge nobody had told her. When her friend told her not to say anything at the party, for Lucy's sake, she reluctantly agreed. She didn't want to ruin Lucy's special day. "I'm sure you'll be fine. Lucy must know how awkward this is for you." Sinead let out a deep sigh. "I love my brother to bits and I think it was quite respectful of him to tell you the truth, but you can do better than him. You deserve someone who isn't going to mess you about," she reasoned.

"I don't even know why I'm surprised nobody told me. My family has been this way with me for all of my life. They never told me anything when I was younger, but then were surprised when I went off and did my own thing. After everything they said to me..." she said, taking another drink. Conor and Shannon had been quite vocal about not wanting Sinead to continue with her pregnancy when she was carrying Savannah. Turned out he'd basically done the same things she had, by creating life with their family's 'enemy'. "I'm sorry, Ali. Do you need me to do anything for you?" she softly asked her friend.

Sinead's attention was drawn towards James and Lucy as the man made his marriage proposal. Despite her disappointment and annoyance, the whole gesture melted Sinead's big heart. James was at times intimidating and generally a cold, serious man. That's why the occasions he made gestures like the one he'd just made to Lucy, Sinead found it beautifully adorable. "Oh wow... I hope she says yes," Sinead told Ali and quickly wiped away a stray tear.

Peter Callahan

Peter chuckled as Emery tried to fight the smile that was sprouting on her lips, but that didn't last long and the child gave up quickly, giggling and smiling just like Peter liked to see. "There she is! I had wondered where you'd gone! Lets stay smiley okay?" He asked her before kissing her forehead again and listened in as the girls started to discuss what they wanted to do. Peter was glad when Emery was once again included in the fun and she hopped down from his lap. "Be Careful! Your mother will have a cow if you have too many bumps and scrapes okay?" He told the girls as Savannah sprinted off away from Michelle and Emery. He chuckled at his younger daughters words as her little legs carried her as fast as they could.

Peter looked to Conor as he mentioned that the girls were doing fine, a wide smile and a slight color of cheeks appears on his face as Conor complimented him as a father. Ahhhh thanks mate." He said, looking a little bashful as he turned to watch the girl's again, giving Conor and Alex a bit of privacy with their conversation, hearing Conor admit that it was hard to keep the secret from Michelle at the moment. Peter didn't have to give them privacy long, Thomas and Brady showed up to inform them that it was time to head inside for Lucy to open her gifts. Peter stood and smiled at his son lightly, "Thank you for helping look after your sisters," He looked to Thomas, "Thank you mate, we owe you one." He told him in all seriousness before heading inside with Conor and Alex.

Peter slowly shuffled towards Sinead throughout the speech, smiling for the happy couple at the front of the crowd. When he finally made it to his wife, James had just asked for Lucy's hand a second time and Peter reached out to touch the small of Sinead's back. "Hello darling, I don't think she'll say no." He said with a teasing smile on his face. He moved to wrap his arms around her from behind and nodded his head to Ali, who looked a little irritated at the moment.

Lucy Porter

Lucy chuckled as Elijah explained that he didn’t bring a gift, and that he figured he was a gift enough by just being here. Lucy wasn’t someone who needed to be showered with gifts, much to what others may believe, she was content with what she would or wouldn’t receive and thankful for people just thinking of her in general. She nodded her head in agreement and smiled his way, being met with a stoic stare was something she was already use to. ”Its absolutely lovely to see you two reunited again.” She agreed, wondering how long he thought he had been away for. Lucy was well aware of the situation with Elijah, curiosity lead her to read a few books and studies on others with his type of disorders. Lucy wasn’t nervous around the man, though she had been warned to keep an eye on him, she just wanted to help him realize what was real and what wasn’t. James wanted what was best for his brother and of course Lucy would strive to do the same. She let out another laugh as Elijah basically called James ugly, looking to her husband and giving him a reassuring glance making it clear he was quite the opposite. Lucy leaned into him and smiled as he kissed her on the cheek, having suggested they head inside for presents.

***​

Lucy could see that her husband was nervous to stand up and speak in front of the crowd that had now gathered in the main living area. The blonde smiled at him, taking a deep breath to signal that he should as well. Once he began to speak, Lucy looked around and saw one face that she didn’t expect to see at all. Fallon Romano. Lucy’s eyes widened ever so slightly and her heart began to race, she wondered what angle the girl was playing and as she saw her interacting quite intimately with Jackson, it was hard to stay calm. She began to wonder why he hadn’t told them when she turned her attention back to the moment at hand. James continued on and Lucy’s cheeks reddened at the kind words her husband had to say about her, squeezing his hand in return. She bit her lip to keep her emotions in check, not wanting to look like a mess in front of the crowd. She caught the look Conor gave James and she shot a playful glare his way.

James announced then that he wouldn’t hold up the party any longer and he would begin by giving her his gift. Lucy raised a curious eyebrow as he stepped to face her directly. Before she knew it, he had slid down on one knee and Lucy immediately moved her free hand to her mouth, covering it as the tears that had threatened to spill were beginning to brim the surface. The ring was gorgeous, the man had always claimed he didn’t know how to shop for jewelry but yet he nailed it every time. It took her breath away as he explained they didn’t get the best wedding the first time. He asked for her hand again and Lucy immediately nodded her head, bouncing a bit on the balls of her feet. ”Yes! Again! She cried happily and helped him up from his kneeling position. Once the ring was slid on her finger, she pulled him in for a kiss before throwing her arms around him."Thank you, I love you." She whispered to him. The surprise was one that she wasn’t expecting. They would have another chance to do their wedding the right way, and this time, their children would be present, making it all the more special. After a moment, she pulled away and took his hand again, knowing that affection in front of everyone made him a nervous wreck. Looking towards Sinead, she smiled widely, already knowing that this time around, she was going to be her maid of honor. ”I think you already know where I am going with this…?” She asked her sister from where she stood at the front.

Finnian Sullivan

”Hellooooooooo? Finn called out to the house, wondering where this party had gone to. He saw cars outside, security informed him that everyone was already inside and yet he was met by no one. Keeping a hold of Eleanor’s hand, he smiled to her before offering to help her out of her coat. Once that was done and he was out of his own heavy coat, he took her hand again and walked towards the sound of voices. There was quite the crowd of people in the main living room area and Finn decided to stay in the back, hearing James was speaking about the birthday girl. He smiled widely and looked around at the place, it was quite amazing to see the luxury the Porters lived in now and he was proud of his family for making it in Ireland. Finn was excited when he saw James proposing to Lucy, thoughts of the wedding they had before flashed through his mind. It was a different time and he was with a different woman. Finn looked over at Eleanor and smiled softly, leaning in and kissing her forehead before seeing that Lucy had said yes. Finn made his presence known by clapping louder than most for the happy couple, starting the sea of congratulations. ”WOOHOO! ANOTHER WEDDING!” Finn shouted and smiled widely as he watched his families face turn from stunned to ecstatic quickly. He pushed his way to the front of the crowd with Eleanor in tow coming to stand by Conor. ”Long time no see mate, did you miss me?” He asked. Finn eyed the woman beside him and was surprised to see Alex Romano beside him. ”Alex? You look divine! How are you dear? Its been far too long?” Finn’s voiced stayed low now, not wanting to take away the attention from the birthday girl any longer. Catching Lucy’s eyes, he waved and smiled widely, giving her a look that said they could catch up later.

Ciara Hennessy​

Ciara grinned when Kieran told her to speak freely. "Ah, I wouldn't permit me to speak too freely. You'll wish for me to stop once I get going," she assured him.

She watched on as James made his speech. For all of his riches, crimes and dealings, she saw in him a true family man. That's why she had so far respected the Porters as an organisation. The fact that they were criminals mattered very little to her as she was associated with similar. It was their political contacts that left much to be desired in Ciara's eyes and she hoped to bring the Porters around to seeing the IWU's views, then effectively challenging their corrupt leaders and bringing about the positive changes she sought for the working class. Her business mind was soon put to rest as she watched James propose to Lucy. Even a woman as collected as Ciara had to admit it struck a chord. There was no doubt this family was one to be admired. Lucy and the children would never suffer in the ways Ciara had witnessed in her own home. Ciara turned to Eli and sent him a warm smile. "Well, isn't your brother just precious?" she asked. "I'm glad you attended the party to see this." Eli was of great use to the IWU, providing muscle and doing the dirty jobs. This wasn't the only appeal of the man to Ciara, she saw past his psychological disorders and recognised an intelligent man hindered by circumstances out of his own hands. Her fondness for him was clearly genuine.

Ciara turned back to Kieran as he spoke up. "I have to admit, I'm touched by Mr Porter's gesture too," she agreed. A crooked smile then crossed her lips. "I'd be careful if I were you. I'm no expert on your present qualifications, but you may very well find yourself officiating their wedding ceremony," she remarked to the religious man.

[Melanin-Gxdess]

Ali furrowed her eyebrows and gave Sinead a confused look. When she began to tell her how much better she could do than Conor, she raised a hand. Was she implying that she, Aliana Cartwright, had some kind of feelings for her brother? The thought almost made her laugh as she shook her head. "Why do I get the idea that everyone is thinking that my heart is broken? You have to have one of those before that could happen, don't you?" She joked before raising her cup to her lips, taking her time this time around for fear of any kids running in. The smile she had on her face quickly turned back into a frown. She still couldn't believe no one had told her of the situation. For crying out loud, she was gaining another niece! That and Ali was sure, from what Conor had told her of his relationship with Alex during drunken pillow talks, that he was going to get her to stay. It made sense, she thought, especially since he had missed so much of his daughter's life.

She patted her friends hand and shook her head. "You look like the one who needs me to do something for you." She took a pause and bit her lip before whispering. "I can go get Conor in trouble with Lucy, hm? It'll make the both of us feel better." Despite her joke, she was still annoyed with a lot at the moment. The only thing that seemed to pause that annoyance was James' gesture to Lucy. She followed Sinead's gaze up towards where James' was talking and she smiled. How cute, she thought. When Lucy looked at Sinead and spoke to her, Ali looked at Sinead and nodded her head towards her and spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear. "It's her day. Whatever issues we have we'll discuss them tomorrow." She said it, really, for herself as well knowing there were so many things she wanted to do in that moment. She stood next to Peter and crossed her arms. "I hope you're ready for a frenzied Sinead, Peter." She teased as she patted his shoulder.

Giving Mallory a quick smile before she left, Leo dropped his arm from around Delilah. "You know," Leo started as he looked at the ground, kicking at nothing. ", your sister is right." He stood in front of her with his hands in his pockets. "I mean, it was easy to hide when I was away at Uni but with me wrapping it up and coming home, I'll be around more." He paused before putting his hand out defensively. "I mean, if that's okay with you of course." Leo was growing nervous, trying to find the right words. He could feel himself falling in love with this girl and that normally didn't happen. All he was trying to say was that he'd feel better if her parents knew. No secrets. Well, between them. He wasn't going to count the secret of him finding a way to work for James without her knowing.

He was going to say more, but was interrupted by James' announcement. Leo couldn't help but smile with some of the other onlookers while he spoke about Lucy. It was nice, he thought, to see such a happy couple and then he started thinking. Could he and Delilah really have that? He had never been in a relationship before, so he didn't know how the whole thing worked. The feelings thing was new to him but he knew he felt something for the girl and was determined to make and keep her happy. His train of thought was broken by the sight of James proposing to Lucy. "Ooo. Looks like we get to attend a wedding."

James Porter​

As James looked up to his wife, he saw her cover her mouth and noticed the tears surfacing in her eyes. In that moment he just wanted to hold her, but he knew he had to wait for her answer. When she nodded her head, a wide smile formed on his lips and then she verbally confirmed she would marry him again. He got back up onto his feet with her help and placed the ring on her finger. Knowing by now the correct ring sizes for his wife, he wasn't surprised that it fit her perfectly. He was taken back when she kissed him, but then she wrapped her arms around him and he automatically did the same. "I love you too," he whispered into her ear, holding her close. In that moment, James forgot they had an audience and all that mattered was the woman who was holding him.

It was only when they both pulled away from the embrace that James remembered the sets of eyes on him. He looked around at his family as he continued to visibly blush. Still, he managed a sincere smile, beyond happy Lucy had agreed to marry him again. His awkwardness was blown away by the sound of Finn's voice booming throughout the room. James couldn't help but chuckle, more than happy to see Finn and Eleanor had returned. That could only be positive for the family. James wanted to bottle this moment up. Everything seemed perfect right now and he could only hope that would continue...

It was only when Lucy addressed Sinead that James realised he would need a best man. As far as he was concerned, he could pick at least four. However, Conor had done a great job the first time around that he thought he deserved a chance to see it through until the end this time. Sure, Conor had been a pain in the arse lately, but James was confident he was going to change for the better. He also liked to think Eli, Peter, Jackson, Montag, and now Finn too, would all have an important role in the wedding. Then there was the arrival of Kieran, and James wondered how far a stretch it would be to involve him in the formalities of such a ceremony.

Sinead Callahan​

"Ali, darling, you do have a big heart. Don't think you can fool me!" Sinead told her friend. She forced a grin when Ali suggested they get Conor in trouble with Lucy. "Nevermind Lucy. He's already in trouble with me. Savvy said s-h-i-t again and I know she got it from him. Add that to him keeping things from me... I'm going to slap him silly," she firmly assured Ali. No matter her conviction, it was often difficult to take Sinead's sweet threats seriously. She wasn't nicknamed Tinkerbell for nothing.

Sinead's tensed body relaxed as she felt Peter's hand on her back and she stood up as he spoke to her. She heard Lucy confirm to James that she would marry him again, causing her to squeal with excitement for the couple. She leaned back into Peter as he wrapped his arms around her and she placed her arms over the top of his, glancing down to their own wedding rings and smiling to herself. It hit Sinead that she'd dismissed Braden when he said he had overheard Peter and Conor discussing Michelle. That was something she would be sure to tick her husband off about, but now wasn't the time. "I'm so happy there's going to be another wedding," she said, looking to Ali with a warm smile on her lips.

Sinead's attention was then drawn to Lucy as the blonde addressed her and suggested she wanted her to be her maid of honour this time around. The last time, Sinead had been far into her pregnancy, so Lucy hadn't wanted her to go through any stress that helping plan a wedding would cause There was no stopping her this time. "OOH MY GOD!" she enthusiastivally called out. "I would love to be your maid of honour!"

Sinead squeezed Peter's hands as she broke away from his hold. At the same time, Ali made her comment about a frenzied Sinead and she honestly couldn't deny that. "You two wait right here!" she told her friend and husband. She then rushed over the the table of presents, looking quite elegant in her high heels, right until the moment she almost stumbled. Still, she smoothly recovered and lifted the bag she'd carried into the party earlier. She then approached Lucy and gave her a tight hug followed by a kiss on the cheek. "I'm so happy for you." She then playfully punched James' arm. "You too, old man!" she teased him, her bright smile causing him to grin in return. She then handed Lucy her present, wishing to only extend her sister's happy day further. Lucy would unwrap the gift to find an adorable black & white polka dot dog purse for Pistol to fit right into. Seeing how much Lucy adored the little dog, she couldn't resist buying such a gift.

"What's that, Pete?" Conor shouted out, loud enough for Lucy to hear. "You didn't know they made carriers for RATS?"

Conor Sullivan​

Despite his irritation around not being told about Fallon both attending the party and attending it with Jackson, Conor was soon distracted by Lucy and James. He was so happy that his sister had said yes and the couple would get another shot at their wedding ceremony. As he looked around, he was truly honoured to have so many members of his family and friends all in one place together. He'd spent much of his time too drunk and distracted to focus on how these people were the ones who could fill the void inside his heart. When he then heard Finn make his grand entrance, Conor nearly lost his shit.

"You fucking jerk, come here!" he happily greeted his cousin, pulling him for a tight man hug. "Of course I bloody missed you!" he said, pulling back from the hug. "Eleanor, love. Looking fabulous," he told her, giving her a peck on the cheek. Conor looked over to Ali and sent her an awkward smile. He realised by now how uncomfortable this could be, especially with Alex by his side during this happy little reunion. He hoped he would get chance to speak with Ali soon, even if she did looked pretty pissed off right now.

Jackson McCarthy​

Just as Jackson stepped through the door behind Fallon, a roar of applause echoed through the house. He held Fallon's hand and led her through the crowd, able to see James down on one knee through the sea of people. "Woaah! Looks like we made it just in time!" He held Fallon close as to not lose her in the crowd, making his way down towards the immediate family. "Isn't that your sister?" Jackson curiously asked, leaning in closer to Fallon so she could hear him. He knew Conor had once been an item with her back in Chicago, but he'd only seen her in the restaurant Fallon worked in.

After moving into the inner circle, he immediately moved to James. "Congrats, mate. You just one-upped the rest of our gifts." He jokingly said, patting him on the shoulder. His eyes moved around the circle to see who was there, almost scanning over Finn. His eyes immediately shot back to him, making an over-exaggerated surprised expression. "Welcome back, you bugga'! Now our drinking squad for tonight is complete!" He chuckled, throwing his arm around Finn in a friendly manner. "Great to see you again, Eleanor. Hope you don't mind us borrowing your man for tonight, just gonna' get him blizted is all."

He was so caught up in all the surprises, that he almost forgot Fallon was right next to him. "Oh, right. I'm guessing you all know my date by now, Fallon." Holding her hand, he moved her closer into the circle so she didn't feel excluded. His eyes moved to Conor, who was giving him a look he was all too familiar with. Usually he got that look after doing something petty, perhaps he didn't appreciate the prank he pulled this morning where he hid his shoelaces.

Eli Porter

​

Eli moved into the crowd, next to Ciara as James stood up in front of everyone. His expression remained passive until James produced the ring. He couldn't help, but cringe lightly. As much as he loved his brother, he missed the days when they'd mug people in the streets and extort kids in school. Back in the day, when they were kings and ran the streets. The man he saw in front of him wasn't who he grew up with. Sure, he seemed happy now, but he couldn't help blaming his own absence for his brother changing into a family man. He looked around at the nice furniture, the elegant complementaries, and the crowd of people around him. He started to feel sick and had to pull down on the neck of his tie so he wouldn't suffocate.

He felt Ciara inch closer to him, keeping his vision locked on James. His face and eyelids drooped at her words, not bothering to look over at her. "Hm..." He grumbled in a deep tone. He suddenly turned and aggressively stomped out of the crowd, not afraid to shove people out of his way. Just as one of the caterers was pouring a guest a glass of vodka, Eli stormed by and ripped the bottle out of his hand. He proceeded to step outside and sit upon the steps, isolating himself from the party. Why did he have to change so much? Why did Lucy have to take his brother away from him? He ripped the cheap bowtie off his neck and threw it into the garden, before chugging the fiery alcohol straight from the bottle.

Kieran Joyce

​

"It's a secular wedding," Kieran replied to Ciara. "I can certainly officiate."

Kieran raised his glass to the couple and commanded the attention of the room by tapping the glass against his silver cigarette lighter. With everyone's attention, he swallowed softly as he realized he wasn't as good speaking to crowds and he hadn't quite thought this through, but he plowed along anyways.

"I've been here only a short time, but the warmness and display of Christian love and charity in this household will keep my heart warm as a good draught of whiskey this winter. I propose a toast," he raised his glass high in the air, "to family, to love, and to Mr. and Mrs. Porter!"

Fallon gaze flickered towards the champagne being handed out, she grabbed herself a glass and quickly brought the edge of the glass up to her lips. It was going to be a long night, being surrounded by Porters with her father's murderer celebrating his wife's birthday. Fallon's gaze wandered as she heard Jackson's voice tickle her ear, asking her about her sister. Her brown eyes scanned the area until they locked down on Alex, her eyebrows furrowed together as Fallon's grip tightened on her glass. "I believe it is, shame she didn't plan on telling me," Her voice trailed into a hiss. As they continued to wander, Fallon felt Jackson tug in the other direction. She quickly spun around and followed Jackson, only to zone out of the conversation. The young woman was never one to feel insecure, it wasn't the way of a Romano, but Fallon felt so out of place she just wanted to cry.

Fallon felt a tug once more and notice Jackson was introducing her to the Porter family. She strained a polite smile before shaking each hand, acting as if she had no idea who they were for Jackson's safety. He didn't need to know about the family feud, and Fallon wanted to move on from that. "Nice to meet you all," She spoke sweetly, keeping herself close to Jackson in case James, or anyone in that matter, had any ideas of starting something with her. She just wanted to have one night without drama and with Jackson by her side. "Congratulations by the way," Fallon piped up, nodding towards James and Lucy, "I'm afraid I didn't bring a gift, I got lost on the way." She lied without hesitation, shifting her weight on her feet as Fallon's felt a wave of panic form in her stomach. It was hard to face James without wanting to rip his throat out, he was the reason for her family's untimely death, but then again, he did get rid of the man who forced her to live in Italy for most of her childhood.

delilah sighed as she heard leo speak, she knew they were right, but there was a voice in the back of her head telling her the opposite. "of course that's alright, leo," delilah giggled with an awkward smile, intertwining her fingers with his. she always seemed to get lost in his eyes, it was impossible not to, after pausing for a few moments, delilah nodded silently. "we'll tell them, i want to be with you, and they deserve to know." her voice was soft but loud enough for leo, and only leo, to hear. there was something about him that made delilah feel like she was floating on air and she didn't want to lose him,he meant too much to her. the young girl spun around on her heels and watched her father ask for everyone's attention.

a small smile curled upon delilah's lips as she watched the suprise unfold in front of her eyes. it was a sweet moment for the family but delilah couldn't help but think about leo. she glanced over to him and noticed how happy he was. would they be able to have the same thing? delilah wasn't very sure about her future, she wasn't sure she wanted to kids or to work with her father, all she knew was that she wanted leo by her side. when leo mentioned about attending a wedding, delilah grinned with a small laugh, "i can't wait," she replied with a genuine happy tone in her voice while deep down, she was trying to figure out the perfect time to tell her parents about leo and their relationship she's been trying to hide.

James Porter​

James softly rubbed Lucy's back before leaving her to speak to Sinead about the wedding and her gift. He'd noticed his brother exit the room pretty quickly, but he decided to give Eli a little time away from the crowd before approaching him. It looked like Ciara would follow him anyway. Besides, there was a pressing matter that needed to be addressed right away.

James stepped closer to Jackson and patted his friend's shoulder in return. "Thanks, mate. I couldn't have you lot outdoing me now, could I?" he remarked. He watched as the man spoke to Finn about the drinking squad, not doubting Conor would now want in on that. This would be a messy night with the alcohol alone, James was sure of that. Then, Jackson introduced another potential mess to the group, in the form of Fallon. "You never mentioned you had a lady to bring with you to the party," he said, making it clear he'd have preferred to have been warned. He looked to Conor, sending him a look that told him to relax.

James looked to Fallon and responded to her 'congratulations' with a closed-mouth smile. He and Alex had long since put their issues aside, partly down to the fact Alex understood why James murdered their father. Fallon hadn't seen all of the death and destruction her father caused. Perhaps she hadn't realised it had reached the point of kill or be killed. Still, the monster was her father and there was bound to be anger within her. "I get three Romanos tonight. What better gift could I really ask for? It's like a family reunion," he replied, seeing as his own mother was a Romano by blood. Whether or not that was a joke wouldn't be evident as it was merely accompanied with a straight face. "It's a bold move you coming here tonight, Fallon." James folded his arms and glanced to Jackson, wondering what exactly the man knew of his girlfriend. "Fallon, if you have anything to say, you say it now. Alex and I have long since resolved Chicago's war and moved on. Now you will accompany me to my office and you'll get it all out of your system. Jackson, you will join us," he said, not wanting the lady to feel threatened. James wouldn't have the party ruined by any awkward atmosphere and he intended on addressing the matter immediately.

Ciara Hennessy​

Ciara watched on as Kieran made a toast to the happy couple and their family. A smile crossed her mouth as he raised her glass of wine into the air. It was still her first drink and barely any of the alcohol had passed her lips yet. Whilst she loved red wine, she usually made a point of remaining sober and in full control of her wits. She was a woman who liked to be in control of herself as well as others and situations.

As she brought the glass towards her mouth to take a sip, her attention was drawn to Eli as he stormed out of the party. She didn't get to have a drink and instead set the glass down on the table. She caught James' eye before turning to follow after her friend. She figured there was a lot of change for Eli to come to terms with all at once. His brother was quite different to the man Eli often spoke of and she could see how everything could be overwhelming to him.

Ciara calmly walked to the exit Eli had taken before finding him sat on the steps with a bottle of vodka in his hand. "Your brother is a complex man," she spoke up, before sitting next to Eli. "What we are seeing tonight is the family man side of him and there's really nothing wrong with that. Isn't it better to see him happy?" She looked into the distance where the girls were chasing each other. "Those little kids need this kind of security in their lives. You and James didn't get to have that, did you?" She wouldn't say it out loud, because the thoughts made her feel quite guilty, but tonight she'd seen so many things she could hold over the Porters' heads if things ever turned sour where the IWU was concerned.

Ciara cleared her throat, deciding to speak up about the other sides of James. "The brother you speak so fondly of is still there," she said, turning to look to Eli's face. "He created some chaos last night, so he did. Businesses smashed up and Raggie Ballymun took a beating. Then there's the matter of Alec Finnegan killed and left hanging on display at the tailors shop. It's not James' usual game, but there's no doubts the Porters were behind it. Does that make you feel better?" she curiously asked.

Kieran Joyce
​

After his toast, Kieran looked down into the bottom of his glass. He had better go upstairs and sober up before he made a fool of himself, he thought. So he set the empty glass on a passing caterer and withdrew upstairs. After a short visit to the water closet, he ducked into his guest room and turned on the lamp by the accent chair. Haggardly, he found a decent record worth listening to, a 33 of Chopin nocturnes, and put it on the phonograph in his room before flopping into the accent chair and lighting another cigarette. As he smoked, he stared out the open door at the second floor hallway and sighed, hearing the piano of his own record drown out the party downstairs. He thought these people fit like a glove on him, and wondered almost aloud about the prospect of performing a wedding. That was exciting. He loved weddings.

He took his rosary beads from the nearby table and began to count Hail Marys. The pensive mood of the after-party always put him in a contemplative mood. He prayed a decade for the Porters and their happiness...and all of James's victims.

Lucy Porter and Peter Callahan

Lucy wished they could have had that moment together for a little longer, knowing the crowd was waiting to start the party up again, they both had pulled away. Finn made his grand entrance and this brought an even wider smile to her face as she watched her cousin move to greet the others. Sinead squealed and shouted with excitement, agreeing to be apart of her wedding this time around. Lucy was so incredibly happy to have the opportunity for another try at their wedding, everyone could be apart of it now and this time around they would end it without any blood or tears. Raising a curious eyebrow as her sister excitedly went to retrieve the present from herself and her family, she chuckled when she returned. Lucy opened the bag and was delighted to find a little doggy purse for Pistol. Lucy smiled widely and moved to hug her sister tightly, "Thank you so much Sinny!" She said, clutching the bag close to her now. This moment was so perfect, she wondered how long it would last this time around. It was morbid, she knew this, but that's what this lifestyle often required, something that took her years to come to terms with. Just as her thoughts began to consume her, Kieran saved her from being swallowed whole with his toast. Smiling sweetly, she looked to her husband for another moment before a quick movement caught her attention. Eli had stormed out of the room causing Lucy to let out a soft sigh, knowing that this was going to be difficult for him to get use to. James was a very different man in the past, one who never even entertained the thought of having this type of life: a wife and children. Eli still knew of the James from the past and it was clear that he was uncomfortable with the change in his brother. James rubbed her back a moment before moving to speak with Jackson, who surprised everyone by showing up with Fallon Romano.

Lucy just hoped the woman had moved past everything that had happened back in Chicago. It suddenly became clear that both herself and James were the causes of both her parents deaths. Lucy hadn't thought about Gianna in a long time, the woman she accidentally killed at Vinnie Romano's birthday party all those years ago. Lucy stood there a moment, her eyes and ears taking in everything. She heard her brother mention Peter calling Pistol a rat, but Lucy was caught up in her thoughts for the moment. She couldn't imagine having another perfect moment like this ruined. Lucy knew she was strong enough to handle it but she wasn't worried about herself. Her eyes sought out her children and she worried for them. They lived a life of luxury, and although they were far from spoiled, if this perfect world were to shatter...they would fall apart: much like the Sullivan's had. The blonde had to remind herself once again that she was in the presence of others, snapping out of her thoughts again.

Her eyes narrowed Peter's way and she pouted. "What the hell is this I hear about you calling my baby a Rat?" She asked pointing her finger at him.
Peter raised his hands and looked at Lucy wide eyed after she called him out. Conor had so generously shouted that information at her and Peter was sure to get him back for it later. "Now now Luce, I mean I didn't call him a rat, to be fair he looks like one." Peter scratched the back of his head nervously before jokingly stepping behind his wife. "Darling, make the blonde lady stop." He chuckled.

Finnian Sullivan

Finn was pleased that he had caught his family by surprise, loving the priceless reaction that Conor gave as he walked up beside him. Finn gave him a manly hug before laughing happily. "Jerk! I wouldn't call myself a jerk for traveling around and saving people's lives mate!" He just had to add that fact in, looking to Eleanor he pulled her in closer, proud of what they had accomplished in their lives so far. Jackson greeted him in that moment and Finn smiled even wider. "Jacky! How the hell are you?!" The man mentioned that their drinking squad was complete and Finn looked to Eleanor for a moment, hoping she wouldn't mind if he got caught up in his old shenanigans for tonight. The name Fallon rang a bell in Finn's mind and he pinpointed her as a Romano, obviously she was Alex's sister. He wondered what both of the Romano's were doing here and how much he actually missed since he was away. "Nice to meet you Fallon," Finn greeted the woman with an easy going smile, trying to calm the nerves she was so obviously trying to contain at the moment. He wondered why the Romano's would even show up here in the first place. Not that he was hoping they would leave or anything, he just wondered if both carried ill will towards the Porters since their family was taken down by James and the rest.

It was sure to make for an interesting conversation and before he had a chance to gather a little more information, James had stepped in, ready to talk to both Fallon and Jackson in his office. Finn gave the man a smile, nodding his head lightly his way. Business came first, he would catch up with James a little later. For now he turned back to the people before him. "So we getting pissed tonight or what?" He asked lightly looking at Conor, who seemed to now be worried for whatever reason. Again Finn's eyes looked over at Eleanor after another moment, wanting to make sure that she would be okay with all of this. He was committed to her 100% and he didn't want to make her feel like she couldn't enjoy herself because she had to babysit his drunken arse.

Sinead Callahan​

Sinead silenced herself for long enough to listen to Kieran's toast, clapping afterwards. She found it quite sweet and was glad to have another cousin in the picture. Her jaw then dropped as Finn and Eleanor made their entrance. Eleanor had been a work friend before Sinead introduced her to Finn, so she was ecstatic to see her friend had returned and was looking forward to introducing her to Ali. As for Finn, Sinead adored her cousin and he'd always been there to comfort her in her darkest days. If it wasn't for the feeling of being left out of the Michelle news and then seeing James looking annoyed at Fallon, she would say tonight was perfect. Deciding not to crowd Eleanor and Finn yet, she remained with Lucy and was soon joined by Peter too.

Sinead laughed as Lucy told Peter off for calling Pistol a rat. "Aww, Petey. Pistol is too cute to be compared to a rat," she said, playfully tapping her husband's hand. When he stepped behind her and asked for her help, she giggled. "Please don't hurt my husband, Luce. Who will give me cuddles every night?" she asked and gave Peter a tight hug. She loved that Peter was practically there every night now, not having to stay out putting himself in the line of danger.

As her eyes rested on Alex, Sinead released Peter and stood herself where she could see him and Lucy. "Luce, I heard Alex is here tonight because she has a daughter... Conor's daughter. How come nobody thought to tell me and Peter?" she seriously asked. "It kind of seems like something we should have been warned about, rather than me finding out elsewhere." Sinead looked to Peter to gauge his response, oblivious to Conor having already warned Peter in advance.

Alexandra Romano ​

Alexandra smiled as she watched the children run off happily down the garden, a small chuckle escaping her lips at Emery’s words. When Conor began speaking, Alex turned her attention back to him and bit her lip at his words “I know what you mean Conor, she would be delighted if she knew but you just have to make sure your ready” she told him in a soft tone. Before the conversation could develop more a man came out to inform them that they were needed inside.

Alex walked inside along with Peter and Conor a smile on her face, curiously wondering what this present was going to be since everyone had to be around for it. She felt comfortable in the Sullivan home which is something she never thought she would be able to say. When Conor spoke to her, Alex’s head spun in the direction of her sister, her eyebrow raised as she looked her over “I don’t know why she is here” Alex stated before shaking her head. She wasn’t annoyed that her sister was her, she was feeling more confused about the situation, why would she be in the Sullivan household.

Alex’s attention was taken from her sister when James proposed. She gasped in shock before clapping along with everyone else. They deserved this wedding, especially after what had happened at their last one. Alex frowned as she thought of all the destruction that used to be their lives but snapped out of it when Finn approached them. “Finn” she greeted with a grin “why thank you, you look good too” she added. He sure did look a lot better than the last two times she saw him, but both times he had been kidnapped by her family. “I’ve been good, normal for once” she laughed “and how have you been?” She asked him pleasantly.
Alex’s attention then moved to the girl by his side “you must be Eleanor right?” She asked her. To which the girl smiled and greeted Alex before her attention was diverted by Jackson.

Alex looked at her sister as she came towards the group “Fallon” she greeted but her tone would make it clear that the two needed to talk. However James beat her too it and she watched as James, Jackson and Fallon all left the circle. Alex looked around at the little crowd forming and smiled but was unable to keep herself from laughing when Lucy began scolding Peter for calling her dog a rat. Alexandra was about to walk over to Lucy when she saw that Sinead was talking to her with a serious facial expression and standing beside them was Ali. Alex decided it was best not to intrude and decided to congratulate Lucy later on in the night

Eleanor Sheridan ​

Eleanor walked into the house holding Finn’s hand. While she had loved every minute of their travels , it just felt right to be home now and she couldn’t wait to see all her friends again, she knew Finn felt the same way and she could only imagine what grand entrance he was preparing.

As James proposed to Lucy , she squealed excitedly and clapped alongside Finn, the grin only growing as she watched his families reactions to the two being home. Before she had time to react to anything, she felt Finn grab her hand and she was pulled to the front of the crowd.
“Conor” she greeted happily giving him a hug after he kissed her cheek before her attention was drawn to the girl beside him, “i am, and your Alex?” She asked. The two girls talked slightly before Eleanor heard someone else join the party “Jackson it’s always a pleasure” she smirked before shaking her head “I don’t have a choice in the matter anyway” she laughed at him asking to borrow Finn for the night “but your holding his hair back” she teased
“Lucy and James congrats” she cheered giving them each a hug before James walked off to talk with some girl and Lucy was distracted by the knowledge that Peter had called her dog a rat. She smirked at Lucy gave out to him before turning her attention back to the boys who were fanning over her boyfriend.

Eleanor saw the look that Finn was giving her and smirked, he was clearly seeing if it was alright to get drunk tonight with the lads. She chuckled slightly before tapping his arm “Well I’m planning on getting locked too” she teased with a grin “we’ll carry each other to bed tonight” she joked
