Well here I am back in Charming after two years away. This feels so surreal. I was sent away by my mama and daddy when we were in a practically bad war with the Mayans. Now two years later I've graduated high school a week early and I'm now back to surprise the family and friends I left behind. I'm dressed to impress, because how else would you surprise the men in your life? I'm Lacy Marie Morrow and I'm here to show them I'm not the little tom boy who left here 2 years ago. I pull up to the garage in my black 2003 convertible my daddy bought me just before I left for my stupid boarding school. I see Jax and Uncle Chibs standing with some strange guy giving him a chainsaw. That's when I notice the deer coming out of the windshield of the car. EW! I park my car and straighten my purple sundress which fits tight against my DD chest, I check to make sure my black wedges are secure they make my long legs look amazing, next I make sure the curls stayed put in my long red hair, finally I check my makeup it still looks flawless with my black eyeliner and mascara plus red lipstick. Time to see my boys. By the time I get the courage to get out of the car and walk up to the garage Jax has left the lot and Chibs is nowhere to be seen. I sigh and walk into the office just to see my mother not there. I roll my eyes and look out into the garage I don't see anyone so I make my way to the club house to see the unknown guy, who I'm assuming is the new prospect and some hang around carrying in a box. I hear uncle Bobby say, "Hey Half-sack Piney clogged up the toilet again." Half- sack responds with, "Jesus Christ that man shits more than a grizzly man. It's ain't human." He ends his statement with a chuckle that the guys join in on. He and the other man put the box down right under the pool table. Than the other guy asks, "Where did you get that name Half- sack?" He starts pulling on his belt and pants and says, "Oh man I got my left nut blown off by an flag in Iraq." That's when daddy walks in and says, "Jesus Christ put that deformed nut bag away will ya."

I gag and agree as I come out of hiding and say, "Yes please there is a lady present." Half-sack fumbles with his jeans while all the other guys stare at me. Daddy says, "Is there something we can help you with miss?" I giggle because I didn't think I looked that different so I say, "well I was just trying to let my daddy know I'm home to stay, but it seems he doesn't recognize me." He stops to process what I said than says, "Lacy?" I smirk my mother's smirk and say, "The one and damn only." He rushes forward and pulls me into a hug where he picks me up and spins me around the guys not far behind. He says, "My baby girl is all grown up! When did you get here?" I laugh and say, "About 20 minutes ago give or take I've been looking for all of your asses I couldn't find anyone." He suddenly look a little serious as he says, "We're dealing with club business and your mother is getting things ready for the baby." I nod knowing club business means not my business unless he says so. I turn to half-sack and say, "Hello I'm Lacy Morrow Clay and Gemma's daughter you must be the new prospect. Now I know your mama didn't name you half-sack what's your real name?" He steps forward and shakily shakes my hand, must not be used to girls talking to him. He says, "Kip my name is kip." I smile and say, "Well it's nice to meet you kip." Tig steps up to him and says, "Disappear go on." He hurries away and I turn to Tig and say, "Ah Tiggy you jealous?" he laughs as he puts his arm around me and pulls me close than says, "Oh baby you know it." I laugh and turn to uncle Bobby and give him a hug as I say, "I missed you Uncle Elvis." He alughs and says I missed you tto." I run to Juice and say, "Juicy my nerdy bestie I missed you so much!" He laugh andpulls me into a bone crushing hug, see me and juice have been best friends for like 5 years he may be 7 years older than me, but he doesn't act like it. I talked to him and my mother on the phone everyday while I was at boarding school. I talked to the other guys to just not as often. Juice says, "I missed my bestie too! we'll have chat about nerdy things later." I giggle and then Clay nods to Chibs, "Find Jax." I smile and say, "I'll come to I want to surprise him." I kiss Tig than bobby than Juice than my daddy on the cheek then follow after Chibs. Chibs starts yelling Jax name with no response so we make our way to his room. Chibs knocks on Jax's door and says "Hey Jax they're at the table." We hear an, "Okay," as a response. Chibs gives me a hug than a kiss on the cheek than makes his way back to Church.

I lean against the wall waiting for Jax he comes out quickly closes his door than locks it. I giggle and say, "paranoid much Jaxy?" he quickly whips around and looks at me in complete shock, "Lacy?" He asks. I giggle and say, "In the flesh bubba don't look so surprised." He then tackles me into a very tight hug when he like my daddy spins me around. He puts me down and says, "Sorry I gotta head to the table we've been having some trouble with the Mayans again." I smile and say, "I understand go take care of business. I'm not leaving town again so I'll just see you later." He nods kisses my cheek than hurries to Church. I make my way to the office to do some filing and organizing for my mama. When I get to the office I see there is a lot to do so I get my ass to work thanking God that the office has ac. About 30 minutes go by when I hear someone frantically honking outside. I see it's my mom so I rush with the other guys to see what's going on. She explains what's going on and I gasp she looks over at me and say, "My baby is home!" she pulls me into a tight hug and it just reminds me of how much I've missed my mama these last two years. I smile at her as we pull away, but it quickly drops as I say, "We'll catch up later let's get to the hospital to check on my nephew and to possible kill this dumb bitch." Mama laughs and we get in her car while the boys hurry to their bikes.

We break at least 30 laws on our way to the hospital in true Teller – Morrow style. Once there mom explains in more detail what she found when she found the druggie whore. Mama says, "I found these matches next her empty bags. Harry dog" Jax says, "Shit." Daddy says, "Gotta be the Nodes dealing out of the dog again." Uncle Bobby says, "Darby got out of Chino two weeks ago." Daddy tells him to set a meeting with him and I can tell jax is looking for blood. When we get to the Doctor I'm shocked to see its Tara I swallow my hurt ignoring the almost big sister that left not only my brother heartbroken, but me as well. She didn't even tell me good-bye. She explains what's going on and after her explanation I broke down into tears. Daddy pulls me close and I cry into his chest as she tells us that a 20 % chance was being optimistic I almost collapse. Daddy holds me up and says, "He'll be ok baby girl I promise." I block out what he and Tara are talking about until I see him walking out. I know what he's going to do and it terrifies me. I hear Tara say Jax and mom says Jackson as I say, "Jaxy?" He turns and looks at me and mom and tells us go with Tara. Dad pulls me closer to him than holds mom back. Daddy turns to Bobby and Chibs and says, "Watch his back." Daddy releases me and mama and I hook arms and walk back to see Abel my sweet innocent little Nephew. When I see him my knees give out and Daddy pulls me back into his chest as I break down crying all over again. Daddy and mama lead me out of there and I shakily get back in mama's car. She looks at me and says, "I need to do some stuff want to go hang out at the club for a while?" I nod and we drive in silence. She drops me off at the club I go to the bar and do a couple shots while I wait. I did 3 shots enough to calm my nerves, but not enough to get me drunk. I went to my car and grabbed my makeup bag and went to the guest dorm room we had I saw a bag in there, but I decide to use it anyway with the gross factor of the bathroom for everyone. I redid my makeup and fixed my hair. I looked in the mirror and saw my fathers blue eyes looking back at me, my complection the exact same as my mother, my DD boobs shown off well in my dress, my long legs made to look longer with the help of my wedges, and my reddish brown hair curled to almost perfection even after the crazy day I had. I straightened out my dress and walked back out to the bar. If there is one thing I've learned from my mother is we have to be strong for these men. I'm not an old lady, but I am important to them and if I fall apart they might too.

I sat at the bar for a while sipping a rum and coke holding my breath for the most part something in this club house smelled absolutely terrible and it was making me sick. Finally after sitting there for a while the men came out of church. Though one man that came out caused me to freeze. Happy Lowman. I've had a crush on him since I was 9 years old. He is what inspired my makeover, I wanted him to notice me. Here's my chance to make him see me as something other than the President's daughter, I really hope this works. The boys after getting their beers and greeting me minus happy who was making a phone call start searching for the source of the smell. When they find it and pull out the deer head I get ill I run to the bathroom and on my way I slam right into Happy. He looks at me as he steadies me with his arms, checks me out very openly and says, "aren't you a little early to the party Darlin'?" I giggle and swallowing my sickness as I saw, "Wanted to get to you early killa." I say it with a wink and he leans down and says, "Oh yeah Girl?" I nod and he smirks down and pins me to the wall. Finally I giggle a little and say, "You know you're not the first person to no recognize me today. Even daddy and Tiggy had a problem maybe even Uncle Bobby." He freezes and lets go of me like I burned him, "Lacy?" He asks. I giggle and say, "Miss me Hap?" He looks me over and says, "Damn baby girl you grew up." I smile at him than say seductively, "want to see how much I've grown up?" I throw him a wink and he pulls me close so we're chest to chest again and says, "Don't try to play with fire little girl you'll get burned." I lean up and whisper in his ear, "you can burn me anytime baby." I kiss the corner of his mouth than make my way down toward the bathroom. I hear him say, "Oh fuck." As I close the door, which causes me to giggle. Plan get Happy is in action.

By the time I make my way outside the party is in full swing I see Daddy and Uncle Bobby over by the ring watching Happy and Tiggy fight so I make my way over and sit with them. I kiss daddies and Uncle Bobby's cheek, but complete ignore their conversation as I watch Happy completely demolish Tiggy. I cheer Happy on and when he notices he smirks at me and throws me I wink I giggle and blush a little bit, but keep cheering. Daddy makes me jump when he yells, "Kick his ass!" I see things are getting bad and daddy does too I guess cause he says, "Bobby break that shit up." Uncle Bobby gets in there and tells them to hug it out which they do weirdly. I giggle and Happy give me a nod signaling for me to come over to him. He looks at me and asks, "Like the show baby girl?" I smile and say, "You know I always loved watching you fight Hap." He nods and says, "Yeah I remember. You were always ring side. How long you been back?" I smile, "Just got here today everything has been really crazy haven't really spent any time with anyone, but I understand with everything going on that all attention can't be on me." He smirks and says, "You know we missed you Princess we're just trying to get shit straightened out." I smile softly at him and tell him, "I know which is why I'm not upset at anyone. I did miss everyone a lot and I'm just happy to be home, but I may not be here long if I get anywhere near that fucking crank whore." He pulls me to his side and says, "You stay away from her. We don't need any more trouble and I don't want anything to happen to you." I nod reluctantly and say, "Fine Hap. I promise." He nods and says, "Now about the hallway." I giggle and say, "What about it?" he sighs, "You know that can't happen princess." I frown, "Why not?" he says, "You're too young, you're Clay's daughter, and I don't commit to you, you know how I am Lacy." I roll my eyes and say, "I'm 18 so I'm old enough, who says my dad has to know, and when the fuck did I ask you to commit?" this time he rolls his eyes, "You're not a croweater and I'm not going to treat you like one. I would never lie to the Samcro president especially about you so let this shit go I fucking mean it Lacy. Grow up." I glare at him and say, "Fuck off Happy." With that I turn and go grab my purse from behind the bar I make my way to my car and see my dad and Jax coming back towards the party. I walk over to them and hug them. Daddy asks, "Where you going?" I put on a fake smile and say, "Home." he nods and tell me, "Be safe baby girl." I smile at him then he walks back inside Jax looks at me and says, "You ok?" I nod and say, "Fine I'll see you later." He doesn't look convinced, but hopes on his bike and leaves anyway.

I get in my car and head back to mom and dad's house. When I get there I see mom's not home she must be at Jax's probably cleaning or something knowing her trying to distract herself. I sigh and go to my old room and put my stuff away. After I do that I flop down on my bed and just lay there. What a shitty first day back. With that thought I drift off to sleep hoping tomorrow will be better. At some point in the night I hear one door open and I hear my mama say to my daddy, "Our baby girl is finally home and we ignore her all day Clay she must hate us." I hear Daddy sigh and say, "She understands how things work baby. I think she just had a long day we'll sit down and talk to her tomorrow." I smile as I doze off back to sleep I love my mommy and daddy so much.

The next morning I wake up first I know because there is not a sound in the house. I look throw my bag and pull out a black pair of skinny jeans and a tight purple tank top that says Samcro in black letters I decide I'll pair my outfit with sky high black pumps. I than make my way to the bathroom. I strip out of my clothes from the day before and start the shower. I wipe away my makeup then hop in the shower I wash my hair, my body and I shave. When I get out I dry off quickly and get dressed next I do my makeup which again is just black eyeliner, mascara, and red lip stick. I brushed my teeth before I put on my lipstick. After I quickly blow dry my hair and straighten it, which still surprising didn't wake my parents, I make my way down to the kitchen to cook breakfast for my family. I pull out my phone and see it 7am, no wonder no one is up. I make pancakes and bacon too lazy to make anything else. I pour myself some apple juice and get coffee going for my parents. As soon as the coffee is done I hear my parents making their way to the kitchen I smile when I see them and say, "Good morning." I put the food and coffee on the table with moms help and we all sit down. Mama is the first to speak she says, "I'm so glad you're back baby. I'm sorry about yesterday. Things are a little crazy around here and we didn't mean to not let you know how excited we are to have you back." I smile and say, "I understand Mama the things that are going on are very big deals and I know that doesn't mean I'm not it just means we need to focus on the situations at hand first." She smiles and Daddy says, "That's my girl. I just want to know what you are doing here aren't you supposed to still be in school?" I smiled and said, "I wanted to surprise you. I graduated a week early." He smiles and say, "Well I'm proud of you baby girl. It's been lovely have breakfast with my two favorite girls, but I have a meeting to get to." He stands up and kisses mama than kiss me on top of my head and says, "Glad to have you back baby girl you behave now." I smile and say, "Of course daddy." he rolls his eyes than walks out of the house. Mama looks at me and asks, "What are your plans for today?" I think about it for a second I know at some point I'm going by TM to show off this outfit and to continue working on my get Happy plan, but I can do that at any time so I say, "Nothing why?" She smiles and asks," Want to go to the hospital with me and Luanne to find out about Abel?" I smile back and say, "I would love to. Is he doing better?" She sighs and says, "I don't know, but he is a teller and we don't die easy." I laugh at the truth in that statement than say, "Well let's get a move on than Mama." She rolls her eyes, but gets up and helps me clean up than we make our way out to her car and head to the hospital to meet Luanne.

Once we get to Luanne she squeals and pulls me into a hug. She says, "Oh baby girl I have missed you so much and look at how grown you are! Are you sure you don't want to come work for me?" I try really hard to hide how uncomfortable that question just made me, but my beautiful mother saved me from answering as she told Luanne, "Over my dead body bitch." We all laughed and made our way inside the hospital. Once we get to where we're supposed to be Tara comes to us and tells us how Abel is doing and what the plans are for his next surgery. After that she looks at me and mom and says, "Can we talk?" I look at mom and she gives a nod before handing her bag to Luanne she hooked arms with me and led me after Tara. We walk a couple feet away then mom says, "What is it?" Tara says, "Wendy is in really bad shape. She's still detoxing. Can't stop crying." I roll my eyes and say, "And?" Tara looks surprised and my mother smirks thinking the same exact thing I was. Tara recovers and says, "I was hoping one of you could talk to her. Just let her know she's not alone." I looked at her like she had grown two heads. I say, "I don't know this bitch, but I highly doubt anything I have to say to her will be helpful plus I promised I wouldn't go near the skank so count me out." Mom nods and says, "Trust me nothing I say to that crank whore is going to make her feel loved." Tara says, "I forget just how forthright you can be." I roll my eyes and say, "Yeah well you seem to forget a lot of things we done here?" Mom smirks at her and she says, "If you have a problem with me assisting on Abel's case just say so." I roll my eyes still the drama queen. Mom says, "You a good doctor?" Tara obviously says yes than Mom continues, "Than I don't got no problem." She rolls her eyes and says, "You know people change I'm not the girl I was ten years ago. Neither is Lacy." I go to step in this bitches face for even saying my name after how she left, but mom held me back as she said, "I am." Tara going to walk away than mom pulls up her scrub top showing that some things can't change as we both can clearly see her crow is still there. Tara spewed some bull shit about leaving it there to prove the past is behind her and mom says, "I forgot just how clever you can be," than storms off.

I go to follow but Tara stops me and she asks, "Why do you hate me so much Lacy?" I felt myself tear up just a little thinking of how my eight year old self found out she left. I asked Jax where she was and he wouldn't answer after I pestered him for a while he yelled that she left and wasn't coming back I cried and refused to leave my room for three days. That made my mother hate her just a little bit more. I turned to her with a glare and said, "Jax wasn't the only one you left heartbroken. At least he got a good bye." She looks so upset as she says, "Lacey I'm so sorry I never meant to leave you like that. I needed to get away the club life was so hard. It's no excuse I know, but I did miss you." my glare melts and tears gather in my eyes as I say, "You were my big sister Tara. When jax ignored me or wouldn't play with me you always would. You took care of me when jax was supposed to and I looked up to you then one day you were just gone I asked Jax over and over where you were he wouldn't tell me and then he just snapped and yelled at me saying you left and you were never coming back. I locked myself in my room for three days Tara I was completely and utterly devastated." She pulls me into a hug and says, "I'm so sorry I should have never done that. You were the little sister I always wanted you mean the world to me still." I gave into the hug, because I honestly missed her so much and I was never really good at staying mad at people a trait I definitely don't share with my parents. I sigh and say, "Here give me your number we'll do lunch sometime I have to go or mom will lose it." She nodded and we exchanged numbers and I ran to catch mom. She looked at me and said, "So you forgave the tartlet?" I sigh and say, "You knew I would." She smiled at me and said, "Yes I did. You're too soft baby." I giggle and say, "Probably. Lucky my family is badass or I might be screwed." She just laughs and throws and arm around me and we continue to walk. She then asks, "Who made you promise to stay away from Wendy?" I giggle and say, "Happy." She smirks and says, "Still after him?" I laugh and say, "You know I am." She laughs to and tells me, "You know if he hurts you I'll kill him." I look at her and say, "You think I'll ever wear him down?" she looks at me and smirks as she says, "Honey with my help you'll be his old lady before you know it." We giggle go out to the waiting room to find Luanne.

We stay at the hospital for a while longer we catch up with each other and Luanne and do a little plotting on how to get me with Hapy. After a while mom gets a call from dad apparently the guys had some business to attend to today. We continued to wait for Abel to get out of surgery and talking to distract ourselves from thinking about what the boys were doing and thinking about Abel's surgery. We were running out of things to talk about and it was coming clear how anxious we were with every passing second. Even though I fought with Happy last night I was still crazy worried about him and my daddy and the rest of the family. I lay my head on my mother's shoulder and just think about all the things that went wrong since I've been home. I picked the shittest time to return to this place. Mom gets up to go somewhere after Tara tells us Abel is going to be ok and I know exactly where she's going so I follow and stand guard outside the door while Mama talks to the junky whore. Luanne decides to leave and not be involved with this drama. I know what my mother is going to do so I'm here to keep her from being stopped. When she comes out we make our way out of the hospital room like nothing happened. We go with Jax to see his son and mom says, "He's perfect." We stay for a while than we quietly leave the hospital and head back to the club house to see the boys and to give Jax some alone time with his son.

When we get there we both run to daddy and hug him than mama goes off into the clubhouse and I look around till I connect eyes with Happy I nod my head to the side than go sit at a picnic table as all the men make their way inside. He stays behind and comes to sit with me. He says, "I'm sorry about last night. I was a little harsh, but you have to know we can't happen little girl." I look him in the eyes and say, "Fine Hap, but just know I don't give up easy and it's going to be hell until I get my way." With that said I kiss him on the lips gently and briefly than hurry inside to try to sneak a drink after the last two days I need another one. Not even a full week back in charming and things are getting crazy. Why the hell did I think this was a good idea? As I walked into the clubhouse Tig comes up to me with a shot and a smirk and says, "Welcome home Lacy." I giggle and take the shot I'm in for one hell of a ride.
