A/N: Okay so I know that I shouldn't be starting another new SoA story but for now my older older ones are on hiatus until I can go back and read over them to see where I'm at on them and not have flashbacks... I may update the odd one or two older ones that I remember where I left off at but it's a matter of when I will get to them... This will be a Happy/OC... I'm also working on another Jax/OC one... My muse doesn't seem to want to let me work on anything else right now... LOL... This is after season 3...

Disclaimer: I don't own SoA!

Hope sighed as she looked around the bar. Once again it was filled with drunks who were hitting on her girls. Yes the waitresses were her girls. Not only was she the bartender but she was also the owner of Charming Lounge. She also operated and owned Silver Tongue Piercing and Tattoo Parlor.

When she saw one of the guys grab one of her waitresses she looked at the other bartender and said "Summer you keep an eye on the bar. I'm going to go and have a talk with the man that just grabbed Honey."

Summer nodded. "Just be careful Hope. You're still not completely healed from the last time you defended Honey."

Hope nodded and made her way from around the bar and walked over to where the man who still had a hold of Honey was standing. "You need to let go of her."

The man laughed and turned his heads toward her and said "And just who is going to make me let go of her. She's mine and there isn't a damn thing you are going to do about it sweet cheeks."

Hope sighed and shook her head and then preceded to pull the mans hand off of Honey's arm and made sure to break his fingers as she pulled them up one by one. "I'm going to make you let go of her. Honey go over to Summer and stay there."

"You fucking bitch!" The man screamed.

"Don't you ever touch one of my girls again or I won't be so nice next time." Hope said and then turned on her heel to walk away. However before she even got three steps away she was grabbed from behind and threw across one of the near by tables. She couldn't stop the groan from escaping her lips as her side made contact with the floor. She ignored the pain she was feeling and pushed herself up off of the ground. "Don't say that I didn't warn you mother fucker."

Happy and Jax had just walked into the Charming Lounge bar when they heard a girl scream "Hope!"

Jax looked at Happy and nodded and they quickly made their way through the crowd and to where they were hearing the fighting from. They came to a stop and they stared in shock as they saw a woman that only weighed about 125 pounds fighting a guy that was close to double her weight. They couldn't believe what they were seeing. They watch in awe as the girl landed blow after blow to the guy but when they saw him pull out a knife they stepped forward only to be stopped by Honey.

"You two don't want to interfere with this." Honey said.

Jax and Happy looked over at Honey in shock and Happy said "Why not?"

Honey just shook her head. "Hope can handle herself."

Happy shook his head and took a step forward but stopped when he heard the woman named Hope say "Come on jackass give it your best shot. I'm telling you now you only get one fucking chance so you better hope that you get lucky on the first chance."

He turned his head back towards Jax and saw the shock on his face and then turned back just in time to see the guy get lucky indeed and plant the knife into her side to the hilt. He got angry and took another step forward only to be pulled back just as the man who stabbed the woman went flying by his head. He turned to look at Jax once again. "You deal with that fucker. I'll check on the woman."

Jax nodded and walked away to deal with the asshole who thought it was okay to hurt a woman and knelt down beside the unconscious man and then looked over at Happy who was holding the woman up. He then looked around and spotted a group of guys who were staring wide eyed at the man lying on the ground. "Who is with this man? I'd advise you to get him and get out of here before anything else happens to him."

He watched as the guys he had seen looking at the man came forward and lifted their fallen friend off of the floor and leave. He then made his way over to where Happy was still holding the woman up. "Is she okay?"

Happy looked down at the woman who he had his arm around. "Are you okay?"

Hope nodded weakly and said "I'm just fine. I could have gotten him out of my bar without your help but thank you. Now if you don't mind I need to get back to work."

Happy shook his head and glared down at the woman. "You're in no shape to be working. You have a fucking knife sticking out of your side!"

Hope sighed and looked at her side and swore. "Fuck I forgot about that. Well if one of you two can pull it out I'll patch myself up."

Happy shook his head. "No dice you're coming with us. The owner can close the bar himself."

Hope snorted. "Listen here you douche bag I am the owner!"

Jax couldn't stop the laughter from erupting out of his mouth as he looked at his friend and brother. "Well Hap she sure told you."

Happy turned and glared at Jax and then looked back at the spitfire in his arms. "Then let someone else close up. You need medical attention and you need it now."

Hope looked up into the biker's eyes and saw the hard glint in them and sighed deciding that she would give into his demands for now. "Fine but I'll patch myself up. I'm not going to the hospital."

This time Happy snorted. "Wasn't going to take you to the mother fucking hospital. Jax's old lady is a Doctor and she'll come to the club house and check you over."

Jax nodded and pulled out his cell phone. "That she will. I'll call Tara right now. We need to figure out a way to get her to the club house though without moving that knife."

Happy thought for a minute and said "Can you ride on a motorcycle?"

Hope nodded. "Of course I can ride on a motorcycle. I drive one you idiot!"

Happy's mouth dropped open in shock and then he glared at Hope and growled "Stop calling me names woman!"

Hope sighed but nodded just as he knees buckled. Before she could hit the ground she was swung up into Happy's arms gently and carried through the crowd and as they needed the bar she looked over at Summer. "I'm getting kidnapped by these two so close up the bar when it's closing time!"

Summer laughed. "Don't worry Hope. Happy and Jax will take care of you."

Hope raised an eyebrow but said nothing. She let the man named Happy carry her outside and place her on the ground next to a bike. She knew that the ride to where they were going was short because she's been by there but she also knew that it was going to hurt like a bitch with the knife sticking out of her side. She saw that Happy scooted back on his bike and she swallowed and got on in front of him. She felt him start the bike and then she closed her eyes and bit her lip to keep from screaming out in pain as they made the two block trip. She let out a sigh of relief when the bike came to a stop.

She felt Happy get off of the bike and then once again she was gently lifted into his arms just as Jax came in on his bike. "I can walk you know."

Happy glared down into Hope's face and said in his raspy voice "Just shut up. We don't need you falling and injuring yourself any further."

Hope just sighed and then looked at Jax as he caught up to them and said "Tara is already here so we just need to take her in. She was having the pool table cleared off so when we go in just lay Hope down on it."

Happy nodded and followed Jax into the club house. He could feel everyone's eyes on him but he didn't say anything. He just quickly made his way over to the pool table and laid Hope down on it.

Just as he stepped back a voice said "What in the hell happened to you Hope Skylar Hawkins?"
