AN: Alright, lovers... Here we go. The 3rd installment. I've been sooooo dead to the world lately. I'm gonna chalk it up to not being able to write about my favorite fanfiction series, ;) . I'm a lot like all of you lovely readers, I looooove this couple too and I love writing about them. I'm not going to ramble too much but I will tell you that the time jump here is 10 years and a few months.

Yeah, yeah, yeah... THAT'S A LONG TIME. I know but think of all the one-shots I've got to add to the story. Not to mention the one-shots that haven't been yet for the two year time jump between The Crow's Nest and An Outlaw's Love. If you haven't read the one-shots yet, go ahead and start that. It shows Hap and Hanna before she came back to Charming and it also shows how the couple was before problems really hit them.

Enjoy, ;)

Hearing the bell ring on the door, signaling a customer had walked in. She watched the blonde woman approach the customer and led him to the bar. Shaking her head, she knew what the blonde was doing. She hated her and for the exact reason of her being a whore.

Veronica Lowman looked around the pastry shop and spotted her little brother staring at the same blonde. Roni rolled her eyes and shook her head. Roni was standing at the cash register, watching the customers converse with each other, occasionally looking at the door to where a new prospect was sitting, surveying the room just like she was.

The bell rang on the door rang again and Roni watched the prospect be jerked up to his feet, smirking as she realized the hand that jerked him up was her father; behind Happy stood Juice, Kozik and Tig. Roni walked around the counter and straight to her dad.

Happy caught sight out of the corner of his eye of another damn croweater approaching him and he was ready to cuss her out and get her away from him. He didn't feel like being bothered by anyone unless his blonde beauty wanted to come home early from her business trip in LA but he didn't see that happening so he prepared himself for another annoying bitch approaching him.

"Daddy…" Happy looked dead at the woman as he heard her speak and his gaze widened as his world completely stopped; no, this wasn't another croweater or bitch trying to find ways to get in his bed but this was his daughter, his first born, and his baby. He looked her up and down, taking in the outfit she was wearing. Before he could say anything, Juice saw the scene getting ready to unfold and stepped in front of Happy.

He grabbed a hold of Roni and pushed her toward the back room. Happy was following closely behind as Kozik and Tig went to sit down at Vic's booth.

Juice finally let go of Roni when they got into the back room and Happy grabbed a hold of her arm. The look of anger and annoyance broke through the confusion on Roni's face as his grip on her arm got tighter. "Have you lost your damn mind?"

"Have you?" The gritted teeth and the snarl on Roni's face made him want to smack her but Juice's laughter was the next thing everyone heard.

"You guys are kidding me, right? It's like looking in a damn mirror for you two… I really feel for Hanna, having to deal with you two all the time. Holy shit." Juice pulled Hap off of her, standing a few feet away from her. "You look like a damn croweater, Roni… Go home and change."

Roni rolled her dark eyes and crossed her arms over her chest, mirroring her mother now. "I suggest you follow instructions before I beat the hell out of you, little girl."

"Then you guys can watch the shop and serve people then. If you lose Mom any service then you get to tell her, not me." Roni moved to leave but Happy grabbed her arm and pulled her to him.

Wrapping an arm around her, he kissed the top of her head and signaled for Juice to leave. Once he was out of the room, Hap pushed the 17 year old away from him and shook his head. "Stop being such a stubborn little shit!"

"Have you talked to Ma yet?" Veronica crossed her arms over her chest.

Nodding his head, he moved to pull in burner out of his front jeans pocket. "She should be here soon, she said that shit went south so she turned down the offer and is coming home."

"Where's Vee? She's supposed to be here today… not that freakin' thing in there now." Veronica still had her arms crossed and an eyebrow cocked in curiosity, looking more like her mother in that very moment.

Happy pointed over Roni's shoulder and raised his eyebrows. "You gonna explain to me why Victor is sitting on his ass and that damn prospect is just sitting down?"

"Vic is working on some schoolwork, so I told him to take a break. I don't know about that prospect… I'm busy worrying about other things, like the customers." Roni rolled her eyes, noticing how her father ignored her question about her fourteen year old sister.

Hap nodded his head. Looking at his daughter now, he couldn't understand when the hell she grew up but it was killing him. In two weeks, she was graduating from high school and going to college in the fall. Roni was going to the California School of Arts, the Oakland Campus so she could stay near home and still be near her family. "Victoria is at TM with Gemma… Now I told you to quit being mean to the new girl."

"She's supposed to be here with me. Fuck her, she's a dumb bitch that's always flirting with Juice and Key when they're hear and it's annoying as fuck." Roni shook her head and rolled her eyes as she watched her father smirk. "It's not funny, Daddy… She's annoying as shit and Ma needs to fire her."

"I should fire who?" Happy turned to see his wife standing in the doorway of the inventory room. He smirked, seeing her for the first time in a week because she had to handle some business in LA about making Sweet Treats a chain.

"That damn wanna-be Barbie doll out there. She's stupid as hell." Hanna raised an eyebrow at her daughter, smiling as she walked further into the room. Happy hooked his arm around Hanna's waist as she walked past him and he pulled her to him. Hanna laughed as her husband lifted her off the ground a little, kissing her to stop her laughter. "Oh my god… Welcome home, Ma. I'm going back up front!" Veronica shook her head, walking out of the back room.

Happy lowered the blonde beauty to the ground, still kissing her as he did so. "How'd it go?"

"They wanted to change the name and change the menu… Basically they wanted to buy it from me and I said no. Making the shop into a chain wouldn't be a bad idea but it's under my circumstances and shit won't be changed. How'd the deal with the Niners go?"

Hap's hands came to rest on Hanna's hips, his thumbs rubbing back and forth. "I'm sorry it didn't work out for you, baby. It was a'ight… Everybody's cool now."

"Things go ok with the kids? Or did they temporarily drop out of school?" Hanna cocked an eyebrow at the man, smiling as he nodded his head. "Come on, let's close it down early and go to the clubhouse."

Happy nodded his head again before kissing her lips once again and following her into the main room of the shop. Seeing Juice sitting at the bar, talking to Roni, he looked to the other side of the pastry shop to see Kozik, Tig and his blonde beauty sitting at a booth with his only son. He smirked as Tig brought the kid into a headlock and Hanna smacked him upside his head.

"Victoria Jade Lowman, I expect you to have an explanation as to why you were with Gemma all day and not helping you brother and sister at Sweets!" Hanna stood by the refrigerator in her kitchen as she watched her youngest daughter set her jacket on the table.

Victoria crossed her arms over her chest, mirroring her mother, and she shook her head. "I didn't want to be there."

"I don't really care what you want to do… I told you to be there whenever Roni told you to be there. Roni told you you had to work today so you do as you're told." Hanna watched Vee shrug her shoulders after she uncrossed her arms. "Maybe I should just tell your daddy that you're not listening to anyone's instructions."

"MAAAAA!" Roni's voice roared as she incidentally interrupted Hanna and Vee's conversation; she came stomping into the kitchen, her hair was a frizzy mess and her make-up was smeared.

Victoria tried to hide her laughter but to no success. "You look ridiculous!"

"We'll finish this later. Go to your room, Victoria Jade. Now." Hanna pointed toward the ceiling as she walked toward her seventeen year old daughter. "What the hell happened to you?"

"I don't know… I used that mousse you told me to use." Veronica sat down at the kitchen table, placing her hair brush on the table as she went. Right as Hanna reached for the hair brush, her phone started ringing. "Hang on, it might be your damn father." Hanna answered the call, bringing the phone to her ear. "Yeah?"

"Juice is joining us for dinner, with some woman…" Hanna heard the raspy, deep voice of her husband come through the speaker and she shook her head.

"That's fine, maybe you could come home early and throw the steaks on the grill yourself." Hanna raised an eyebrow at him as if he was there to see her do it.

"What do I get if I do?" Happy could hear his wife's laughter and he smirked at the phone, trying not to laugh.

"A nice home cooked meal and a comfortable bed to sleep in?" Hanna watched Roni smile and she smirked.

"Yeah fuckin' right… I guess I'll be there soon. Go ahead and marinate them." Hap said a farewell before ending the call and Hanna's attention fell back on her daughter.

"I have no clue what to do about except tell you to go take a shower, baby. Get my shampoo and conditioner and use that for now. I'll take you to the salon tomorrow afternoon, alright?" Hanna watched her daughter leave before she pulled the raw steaks out of the sink full of hot water and put them on a plate.

She rolled them around in the bowl of her own sauce and seasonings as she waited for her husband to get home and throw the steaks on the grill. Right as she was pulling the last of the steaks out of the bowl of seasonings, Vic walked into the kitchen with a sad look on his face. While Veronica was a mixture of her mother and father, Victoria was all Hanna and Vic was all Happy. She could see her husband in her son every single day, no matter the mood Victor was in, Hanna saw Happy.

She turned to see him sitting at the kitchen table, flipping through a comic book and she stopped marinating the steak, wiped her hands off and walked over to the table to sit down beside him. "What's wrong, kid?"

"Nothing, I'm just tired." Vic looked up from the comic book and shrugged his shoulders.

Hanna cocked an eyebrow and shook her head. "You think I carried you around for nine months and know absolutely nothing when it comes to you?" Vic's black eyes connected with her blue eyes. "Baby, what's wrong?"

"How come Victoria is so mean all the time? She used to be nice and now she's not. What happened?"

Hanna was almost surprised by the things her son was saying to her but she didn't let it show. "It's not intentional, baby, she's just got a lot on her plate right now… It'll get better, she just needs a little time. Ok?" Hanna pressed a kiss to her son's forehead and watched him nod his head. "Your daddy will be home soon, I bet he'll need your help with the steaks."

"Really? Ok, I'll help him!" Victor jumped out of his seat and took off running toward the foyer.

Hanna smiled inwardly. Damn, when did her kids grow up? It's almost like it was yesterday when she found out she was pregnant with Veronica and now, here she is about to graduate from high school. Victoria had just started the early stages of becoming a mother and Victor was already picking out his first Harley. Hap was going crazy with his daughters but his son was exactly how he pictured him.

In the ten years that had passed, Happy was still the Sergeant-At-Arms, Jax was still the President, Opie was the VP, everyone still had their place at the table except for Bobby who died five years when from a heart attack. Jax and Natalie were now married with Arabella and a son, Thomas. Juice was still the Intelligence Officer and apparently he was dating someone. Gemma had been seeing the club's new business associate, Nero Padilla, who was an all-around nice guy. Opie and Donna were still together, they were unhappy but they still stayed together. Mostly for their kids.

Veronica was seventeen years old, on the verge of graduation. Victoria was fourteen and womanhood hit the young girl bad. Victor was twelve years old and he aimed to be just like his father when he got older. Ellie was eighteen years old and she was wild as hell. Kenny was fifteen. Arabella was now thirteen and she looked exactly like her father, much like Thomas, who also was the spitting image of Jax.

Hanna and Happy noticed the very dangerous glare their oldest daughter was sending Alexa, Juice's girlfriend. Hanna knew exactly what the problem while Happy was confused as to why she was so annoyed.

Hanna knew Roni had a certain love for the man. Hanna didn't how deep it was or what level it was on but Hanna knew. Or at least she had an idea of what was going on. Hanna continued to stare at Roni as she continued to have a sour look or face until Roni's dark eyes finally connected with her mother's ocean blue eyes.

Roni furrowed her brow and Hanna tilted her head toward the kitchen, silently telling her daughter to go in the other room. Roni quickly stood up and left the room, not saying a word as she went. Hanna excused herself from the dinner table and left the room, giving her husband a shake of her head as she did.

Hanna walked into the kitchen to see her daughter sitting on the counter by the stove, looking at her manicured nails. "It's a dangerous game you're playing, Veronica."

"What are you talking about?" Roni gave her mother a very confused look, but Hanna knew it was a front.

Cocking an eyebrow at the brunette, Hanna smirked. "Not that this is the biggest problem, baby, but he is old enough to be your father. Hell, he's a few years younger than me but not by much. I think you're confusing everything you're feeling for him as something else, baby."

"Since you know so much, tell me what I do now then…" Roni hopped off the counter and turned away from her mother as she felt tears stream her face.

"What's going on in here?" Happy's raspy voice filled the room as he came to stand directly behind his wife, pressing himself against her.

Hanna craned her neck to see him and shook her head. "Nothing, she's just feeling sick is all. Everything's fine… go back in there." The blonde turned around completely to kiss her husband before she pushed him toward the door. Hap didn't move a muscle, he just stared at his wife.

"Don't make me ask again." His deep voice washed over the blonde and she simply sighed.

Hanna looked back to see her daughter still facing away from them. "Alright, fine… Remember you asked for this; your daughter seems to believe that she has deep feelings for Juice."

He chuckled. He didn't mean to but he did. But his laughter didn't go unpunished as Roni turned around, viciously wiping her tears away from her face and she calmly walked toward her father. She had her parents temper, their calm resolve and she had managed to be able to control every single emotion inside of her except for her anger. Much like her father. "Go to hell." She marched right past the man and into the dining room where her glass of lemonade sat where she was sitting. The brunette picked up the glass, shot a half-hearted smile to her brother and sister and left the room through the other archway that lead into the living room.

After a few minutes, Hanna heard her bedroom door slam and she sighed. Her attention was quickly casted on her husband and she slapped his arm. "Really, Hap? What the hell is funny about this?"

"It's not that it's funny, it's just something we should have seen coming from a mile away. She always wanted to be around Juice and here she is older and now she thinks she loves him. We know she doesn't… Baby, she knows it's not like that with him but she has to find the truth about her own feelings for herself. Don't dare involve yourself or anyone else, Hanna. She'll figure shit out by herself, she'll be fine." Happy pressed a kiss to her forehead before leaving the kitchen to go back into the dining room.

"Everything good, brotha?" Juice asked as soon as Happy sat back down.

Hap nodded his head and looked to his other daughter. "Go on, I know you wanna go up there with her. Take your plate to the kitchen first."

"Do you want me to take hers too?" Vee was already out of her chair, her empty plate in hand.

Her father nodded her head and took a swig of his beer. "Victor, go work on your project." He casted his attention on his blonde beauty as she sat back down at the table, she smiled at him, flashing her dimples that he loved so much before Alexa pulled the couple out of their trance.

"Is everything alright with Veronica?" The red-headed woman smiled at the blonde beauty before looking at Happy.

"Yeah, she's just been having a tough couple of days… Finals are coming up and she's preparing for graduation. Forgive her behavior." Hanna took a sip of her wine, raising an eyebrow at Juice.

"I can't believe she's about to graduate! It's like it was yesterday when we found you guys and her prissy ass came walking out of the house in front of you. I think I'll always remember her then." Juice inserted himself into the conversation.

Hanna laughed, nodding her head. "Two years old and completely attached to you from the moment she met you. You were the king of the world, ya know…"

"Every time you left her, she wouldn't shut up about you. Kid loves you a lot, man." Happy took another sip of beer, nodding his head at his brother.

No one heard Veronica and Victoria walk back into the room, as they stood in the archway from the living room, silently. "You were my best friend and nothing was better than seeing you. We were at the clubhouse every single day and I woke up every morning so excited because I knew I'd see you and Uncle Kozik."

Everyone's attention was now on the two Lowman girls as they stood side by side. Juice looked back at Happy and he shrugged his shoulders. "You telling me someone took my place?" Juice was looking at Roni again, his wide smile displayed on his face. He really only gave that smile to her.

"Nope, I would never let someone even try to replace you but that's not a mutual task that we both took on." Veronica crossed her arms, mirroring her mother so damn much, it almost scared Juice. "Come on, Vee… Let's go help Vic." Victoria's black eyes connected with her mother's ocean blue eyes before she casted her glance on her heavily tattooed father. The couple nodded their head and the young Lowman daughter followed her sister out of the dining room.

AN: A short starter but I've got big plans for this story... As well as for the Lowman kids ;)

Let me know what you beautiful readers think!
