I do not own the Sons of Anarchy but we all wish we did, let's not pretend. I do own my OC Mini.

Happy looked over at the beautiful red head that he held in his arms while she slept. She liked to curl up in her sleep so she had to sleep with her back to him or she would poke him to death with her knees at night and he would wake up feeling cranky. I moved her hair from her face, knowing it would just annoy her, and got a look at her face. He remembers the first time he ever saw her.

10 Years Ago

Happy was half way to his destination when night fell and it began to pour down out of nowhere. He cursed knowing he had to keep going until he found a hotel and luckily after five minutes he had found a pretty cheep looking one. When he pulled into the lot of the hotel he was a figure in a black hoodie, black pants, with a black messanger bag at a height of about 5'2, standing on the side of the road ten feet away from the hotel in the pouring rain. Happy decided to pay them no mind, if they want to be an idiot then let their ass stand their and get pneumonia then let 'em. He went up to check in and saw that the black figure hadn't moved even an inch. The clerk saw him looking at the figure and said, "He's been out there for days now."

"Why?"

The clerk shrugged. "Somebody dropped him off here like five days ago and he's just been standing there, waiting I guess. It's kind of sad." The guy hands happy his key and tells him he's in room 215 and that he could check out here in the morning.

Happy looked out the window of his hotel room. He couldn't sleep so he stared out at the black figure who still stood in the rain not moving. Why is he standing there? Who left him here? It was driving him crazy. Happy sighed and pulled on a pair of pants and his SOA hoodie and opened the door to his room. He walked towards the black figure. What the hell am I doing? He asked himself. He tapped the shoulder of the figure. "Hey."

The figure turned and looked at him and Happy saw the person inside the black. There was the face of fourteen your old girl with grey eyes and candy apple red hair that was all stuck to her face. Her body shivered from the cold and rain. "You alright?" Happy asked. The girl just nodded then turned back to looking at the road. "Look you're gonna catch your death. Why don't you come inside?"

"... I'm waiting." Was the reply he got from a soft voice that he could barley hear.

"Whatcha waitin' for?"

"My mom." Happy sucked in a breath when he heard that. Her mom? Her mom left her there? "She told me to wait here. She's just running late ya know."

Happy put his hand on her shoulder. "I don't think she is kid."

"Yes she is."

"No she's not."

"Yes she is!" The girl turned and looked at him angrily.

"Look. She dumped you here! You've been standing here for five days waiting for someone who abandoned you!"

"SHE'S COMING BACK!" A long silence was made between them until Happy heard the sound of sobbing and saw her begin to shake even harder. "Why did she leave me here?"

Happy sighed bringing the young girl into his arms. "I don't know kid, I don't know." Just like he didn't know why he cared, he just did. "Come on. We'll get you a hot shower and some clothes." And he lead her to his hotel room.

...

The girl took a shower and put on one of Happy's white t's and a pair of his pants which were way baggy on her, and had a couple of snacks and Happy got out of the vending machines. Happy watched her devour a bag of cool ranch Doritoz and realized she hasn't eaten in the five days that she had been standing out there waiting for her bitch of a mother to come back for her and it pissed him off more than anything. "How old are you kid?"

She looked up from her bottle of coke and a honey bun and her grey eyes met Happy's brown ones. She swollowed what was in her mouth and answered, "Twelve."

"Shit." Happy mumbles rubbing the back of his shaved head. "I think... you should stay with me for a while. Atleast until we find you some other place." She just looked at him and nodded. "I'm David, call me Happy."

"...Mini."

Happy never found another home for Mini, hell he hadn't even made it to his destination. He raised her himself so when she turned sixteen Happy went Nomad from his Tacoma charter she went with him as much as she could. She had gotten her G.E.D and had traveled with him to many different Sons of Anarchy charters except for the one in Charming, California, the mother charter. Happy descided not to take her there when he was needed and at first Mini had problems with her abandonment issues knowing that he was leaving without her but over the years of all the runs she had gotten used to it a knew that he would always come back.

"Daddy?" Mini's soft voice reached his ears.

"Hm?"

"Stop staring at me please."

Happy chuckled. He had trained her to sleep lightly, walk lightly, and have eyes in the back of her head just like he did. Sometimes he thinks that it was a bad idea he couldn't tell how many times she had scared the daylights out of his brothers. "Come on Monkey. We need to get up anyways."

Mini's grey eyes opened up to look at her adoptive father. Her body uncurled as she put her arms around her father's shoulders. He smiled at how she still liked to be hugged when she woke up in the morning like she did the first time she woke up with him.

...

"Where we going now daddy?"

Happy handed her her helmet as he got on his bike and then helped her on it. "We're going to Charming. I got patched in there, so we're gonna live close to grandma."

"Do we have our own house?"

"We've got an apartment. It's a little small but you'll like it."

Mini nods. She knows that whatever Happy says is best and it always has been, so she didn't question why she was never allowed to go to Charming even when they would visit his mother who had loved Mini instantly. She just wrapped her arms around her father, resting her head on his shoulder as he rode away from this hotel and they were off the Charming.
