Note: This is the first fanfiction story I've ever written. I'm obsessed with SOA and Kozik did not get enough credit during the show so I wrote one about him. This does not necessarily follow the story of the show. Reviews are always welcomed!

I do not own any SOA characters or plots. I only own my story and the OCs.

Three years. Three years since he'd been back to Charming. Three years since he made the worst mistake of his life. Now after hours of riding - thinking of all the possible outcomes to his arrival, thinking of all the words that were left unsaid - his nerves hit him hard as he saw the "Welcome to Charming" sign. It wouldn't be long now before he came arrived at the Teller-Morrow lot. He silently prayed she would be there. He silently prayed she would know he was on his way so it didn't come as an unwelcomed surprise when he showed up.

After church last 2 days prior, Lee, president of the Son's of Anarchy Tacoma charter, pulled Kozik aside to inform him that Clay Morrow requested his transfer to the Charming charter. They were in the midst of a war against the League of American Nationalist and it was bigger than they expected. They needed all the guys they could get and since he was one of their own, Clay has specifically requested him back.

He knew the trouble this could cause, but Charming was home, they were his brothers, his family, and if they needed him, he would go no questions asked. The club came first. Kozik went home that night. Nora was curled on the couch in his t-shirt fast asleep. He smiled at how peaceful she looked. After kicking off his boots, he kneeled down next to the couch she was on and kissed her forehead as he brushed her hair out of her face. She stirred softly at his touch and opened her eyes to look up at him. Slowly rubbing her eyes, she smiled at him.

"Hey you" The groggy sound of her sleepy voice made him smile.

"Hey" He replied sitting on the couch next to her legs.

She noticed his seemed off. His face seemed stressed, his shoulders were slumped, and she instantly sat up with worry.

"Baby, what's wrong?" She ask as she brushed her hand gently on his cheek. He knew he had to tell her he was leaving - this wasn't just another run - this was a transfer. He'd been with Nora for a better part of a year now and he wasn't sure how she'd react to the move.

Nora never understood the club. Hated that he put so much time into it. Didn't understand why he constantly had to leave at all hours of the day and night and not return for days at a time. But she loved him nonetheless.

He sighed and lifted his head to look her in the eyes and smiled softly seeing her worried expression. "I have to move back to Charming" he said, figuring it was better to spit it all out than to beat around the bush. "The Charming charter needs me back and I have to leave day after tomorrow."

She looked up at him wide eyed and bit her bottom lip. What about her? Was he ending their relationship? Was she allowed to go with him? Were they going to do the long distance thing? Hell they could barely communicate living in the same house - let alone in different states. But she knew who he had down in Charming and she'd be damned if she was going to be forgotten.

Nora took a deep breath and nodded "So I'll pack tomorrow, rent us a U-Haul, and we'll be on our way Thursday morning." She felt the anxiety in her chest as she looked up to see his reaction.

Koz looked at her, slightly taken aback by her willingness to uproot her life and move with him. For him. He smiled as he leaned closer to kiss her head. "I love you" he whispered against her temple.

As they laid down later that night, Nora was asleep on Kozik's chest. He looked at the cellphone in his hands, staring at Harley's name on his phone, wondering if he should tell her about his move, wondering if Clay or Jax had already told her. How would she take it? Sure they'd spoke almost daily, but she never let him get personal. It was a basic check in to see how he was doing.

Weeks after he'd left Charming, he found out from his brothers that she was pregnant. She refused to answer his calls for months. He'd found out later from Jax that she'd given birth to a beautiful baby girl and named her Isabelle Marie Delaney. It still stung him to this day that his baby did not carry his last name. After she had the baby, they began speaking on the phone, catching up like old friends, but she didn't allow him to speak with the baby nor did she speak of the Isabelle. The only pictures or videos he'd seen of his baby girl were from his brothers phones.

After the break up and his transfer, both charters made it impossible for him to head to Charming. They'd send different men or they'd keep him pre-occupied. He'd never gotten the chance to see his baby. Two days from now he'd be face to face with the love of his life and his baby girl. He only prayed Harley would let him meet her. He wouldn't even dream of asking her to tell Isabelle that he was her father.

He was pulled from his thoughts when he felt Nora move from his arms and turn around in her sleep so her back was facing him. He looked at his phone again and though his finger was itching to press the call button, he decided against it. Instead he went to his photos and looked at the pictures of his little girl and Harley that he'd gotten from his Charming brothers. He scrolled through photos of Isabelle from when she was a newborn wrapped in pink with her reaper blanket and hat, to videos of her learning to walk as she walked into Harley's waiting arms. He felt his eyes burn with unshed tears as he heard the laughter of his girls.

He would be with them soon enough. Sure this wasn't the way he planned. He never planned on Nora willingly moving with him but he figured Harley would never give him another chance so why not move on with his life. He felt her shift again and decided to get some sleep. The days to come were filled with unpredictable outcomes and he needed all the energy he could get.
