AN: Ok lovers... this is it! Hap and Hanna are back! I told you it wouldn't be long, this sequel got about 2 re-writes and some stuff added to it but here it is. I hope you guys are ready for this ride, it's gonna be a long, bumpy one ;) .
So it's been two years since The Crow's Nest, Don't worry, it's ok!
Enough of this, here's your story :)
Happy paced the barroom, waiting for Clay, Jax, Tig and Chibs to come back from their run. He, Juice and Bobby had been told to watch the clubhouse until they got back. He almost didn't hear answer his phone he started ringing because he so deep into his thoughts. He didn't recognize the number but he answered it anyway, in hopes it'd be his girl.
"Yo, is this Happy?" The deep voice rang through Happy's ears.
"Who the fuck wants to know?"
"It's Red, SAMTAZ. We did runs together when I was in Tacoma."
"How'd ya get this number? What do you want?"
"Clay. I need to tell you some shit, man… Hanna Winston's been living outside of Tucson. I'm assuming she's yours, right? Piney's little girl? I saw her outside some house, saw the ink, figured I'd call."
Happy's heart flew into his throat. "What the fuck is she doin' down there? Yeah, she's mine." Happy looked around the room and noticed everyone was staring at him. They gave him concerned looks.
"What is it, brotha?" Bobby asked.
"I'm not sure, I told the club to keep an eye on her until we can reach out, so I guess you'll be making the trip down here soon?"
Happy grunted, trying not to show any emotion. "Yeah, we will. Don't let her know anything if you talk to her." He hung up the phone and looked at his brothers. "She's in Tucson. SAMTAZ spotted her a few days ago, she's living there with Veronica."
"Does this mean we're all going to Tucson?" Juice stood up, and walked toward Happy.
Happy nodded his head. "Yeah, I want it to be me, you, Tig and Kozik. Everyone else should hang back." Bobby and Juice nodded their heads. "I can't believe we finally found her…. After two fuckin' years. Goddamn…"
It had been two days since Happy got the call about Hanna and he was finally ready to go get his girls back. He didn't care what he had to do, he was going to bring them home and that was that. Just because two years had passed didn't mean he stopped loving her or wanting her. He'd always loved Hanna Winston, nothing could change that. That man was in deep.
He hated that he'd missed two years of his daughter's life but that really wasn't under his control… Hap thought about his girls every second of every day, wondering if Hanna moved on and got with someone else. He wondered what Veronica looked like. It killed him to think about another man playing his role, he'd kill anyone that touched what was his, he didn't give a damn who it was.
It was hard as hell for him to get passed it and the one person that could truly help him was the one that was gonna be pissed off the most about Hanna being gone. He was the one to tell Gemma about finding Hanna, knowing Gemma had been a bitchy mood for the past two years, he knew the guys were gonna let that job fall on his lap. He thought back to the conversation he and Gemma had when she found out Hanna had left in the first place.
*Flashback*
"What the hell did you do? You selfish little shit!" Gemma yelled out across the lot the minute she saw Happy's Dyna pull in.
He slowly took off his helmet and rolled his eyes, he should've expected the matriarch would throw her 2 cents in sooner or later. Don't get him wrong, he loved Gemma… Gemma was like his second mother but he just didn't want to hear her shit today.
"I didn't do a damn thing, she just packed up and left… She's the selfish bitch, not me." Happy grunted as he inched closer to the Queen who was standing by the garage office.
"You think I don't know about your little quickie in the bathroom the other day? The same day that she just so happened to leave? You stupid idiot, the one woman that loved you unconditionally… The one woman that put up with your shit. She took a hit from your ass and still stayed with you, what crazy ass woman do you know would do that? She loves you, you and only you! You get your ass out there and find her, don't you come back until you do." Gemma started to push him out the door but stopped when his hands found her wrists and yanked them off of his cut.
"What the fuck are you talking about? She knows about that?" Happy was seething.
Gemma chuckled. "Yes, shithead… she does. Jax told me about it, said that's why she left. Then tried to add something about how dangerous this life was."
"Goddamn it… That wasn't about her! I just- god-fuckin'-damn it!" Happy ran a hand over his head and kicked the office door.
Gemma threw her hands up in the air. "Are you shittin' me, Happy? Doesn't matter who it was about! You're her old man, that's your old lady. You stay loyal to her no matter what! You don't fuck some bitch because you can't find her around her. You go out, find her and fuck her as if it's the last time you'll ever get inside her!"
*End*
He put his gun in his holster and added a clip to sit beside it; before he left the room, he gave it one more look. Knowing Hanna would've killed him for destroying the house the way he did, he was gonna make the prospects clean it all up and fix any broken furniture. He had no intention of coming back to Charming until he knew he had Hanna back. He knew he fucked up two years ago, cheating on her but that was his nature… To do whatever he wanted. He was more used to not having to answer to anyone instead of being with her.
He walked out of the house to see Juice, Tig and Kozik waiting for him. Everything was in order with Clay so they could ride down to Arizona. Sleeping arrangements were set up at the SAMTAZ clubhouse until they left. They were ready for the ride as soon as Happy was ready to leave.
Hanna picked up her sleeping daughter and walked into her room. Laying Veronica down in her bed, Hanna flipped off the switch to the light and walked out of the room. She walked into the kitchen and started to clean up the mess her two-year old hellion made. Every day, Veronica showed more and more signs that she was her father's daughter. She had quite the little temper on her if need be and it only fueled the flame with her having pieces of Hanna in her. Hanna had mostly gotten use to Veronica's terrible-twos but even the mother had to get aggravated once and a while.
Once the kitchen was clean, Hanna got comfortable on the couch and started watching the new episode of Cutthroat Kitchen. The blonde had taken up a newfound interest in cooking, even taking classes at the University of Arizona while working at the local bank as a bank teller. Her life was alright, for the most part. Veronica was in daycare, everyday from 9-4 which worked out perfectly for Hanna.
For the most part, Veronica was good… she listened to Hanna and that was the only person allowed to come near her. Hanna guessed Veronica had more Happy in her than possible, what with being closed off to everyone except Hanna. She was ok with it, though.
Hanna had been on a few dates here and there during the two years that she'd been in Tucson but they didn't last very long. There was something always holding Hanna back… more like someone. Every time she went on the third date with a guy, he'd try to kiss her and she'd turn him down. It was a cycle. There was just one face that flashed through her mind when she was on each date; a face that would kill the man sitting across from her if he knew about her current activity.
She missed him, of course she did. No matter what they went through, she still loved him. That was her old man, the love of her life, the father of her daughter… wasn't much else to say about him except that.
Hanna turned off the television and checked the sliding glass door in the living room, making sure it was locked. When she was satisfied, she locked the front door and went to bed, after checking on Veronica one more time.

The guys made it to Tucson just in time for a party to be in full swing. Instead of staying for the party, Happy got Hanna's address from Red and went to her house. Seeing some lights still on in the house, he debated with himself on paying his old lady a visit. He decided against and just sat at the corner of the street, watching the house. After about 20 minutes of him watching the house, the remaining lights turned off. He guessed she was going to sleep, considering it was around 1:30 am.
He stayed there all night, with no sleep. He figured he'd have a few cups of coffee then see what she'd had planned for the day.
The sun rose and he watched a light turn on in a room. He sat up on his Dyna and watched his Old Lady walk out the front door, grab the paper and walk back in. He smiled at how good she looked. Her beautiful blonde hair was longer, she wasn't wearing any make-up and she had the same figure she had before she got pregnant; a figure that he loved a little too much.
He wished he wasn't such an idiot for fucking things up with her, he wished he was inside of that house with her right now.

Hanna flipped the pancakes on the griddle before putting them on a plate. She cut them into tiny pieces and put them on the table, adding a sippy cup with orange juice in it. Hanna poured a little syrup on the pancakes and walked out of the kitchen.
"Alright, sleeping beauty, it's time to get up." Hanna walked into her daughter's room and smiled as she saw Veronica still hugging onto her teddy bear. Hanna squatted down ran her fingers through her daughter's dark locks. "Come on baby."
Veronica slowly sat up and groaned. Yeah, that's Happy for ya… Good god. "Come on, baby.. I got some pancakes and orange juice with your name written all over it. What do ya say?"
The mere mention of pancakes and orange juice had Veronica smiling as hard as she could. She climbed out of her bed and followed her mother into the kitchen. Sitting down, they both ate their breakfast.
As Hanna rinsed off the dishes and put them in the dish washer, she heard the familiar sound of motorcycles drive by. The sound instantly stopped, forcing her to look out the kitchen window and look around. Seeing nothing, she walked out of the kitchen to go get Veronica dressed.
Since the weather was nice and warm, Hanna let Veronica wear a short sleeve dress that had a light blue and white chevron design. Hanna adored the dress and once she saw it on Veronica, she was absolutely in love. Veronica seemed to like it so she kept it clean when she wore it. Hanna paired the outfit off with a pair of light blue sandals, essentially matching. Veronica followed her mother into her bedroom and watched as her mother got dressed.
Hanna put on a black skin tight pencil skirt that ended mid calf, with a royal blue blouse. Pairing off her own outfit with a pair of black pumps that Hanna absolutely loved. Hanna curled her hair a little bit, leaving it down. Getting ready for work always ended with Veronica trying to put on make-up too but Hanna wouldn't let it happen, always telling her daughter that she simply didn't need it.
"Mommy?" The soft voice echoed through the quiet bathroom.
Hanna stopped putting on her eyeliner and looked at her daughter. "Yeah?"
"What's that?" Veronica was at the stage where she needed to know about everything.
Hanna followed Veronica's finger to the eyeliner in her hand, she smiled and looked back at Veronica. "Eyeliner, makes your eyes pop a little. Are you ready to go, baby?" Veronica nodded her head and crawled off the stool she was sitting on.

Happy and Juice sat watching the house, both with giant travel mugs of coffee. Juice looked over at Happy and decided to begin the interrogation.
"You think she forgave you?"
Happy looked at Juice and shook his head. "I think she hates me… I don't think it's gonna be easy winning her back."
Juice nodded his head. "She loved you, man… I think she still does but it can't be easy going through that. I saw the look on her face when she came through the clubhouse, she was shattered."
Happy snapped his head in Juice's direction. "Wait, go back… She was there that day?"
Juice nodded his head again. "Yeah, she had brought Roni to see us, she didn't know you'd be there but she saw your bike so she went to look for you. I guess she saw Renee walk out of the bathroom and saw you too. I don't know. I just know that she knew and when she came back into the main room, she looked like she created the definition of heartbreak."
Hearing those words made Happy cringe, he did that… he caused her pain and he hated himself for it. He was an asshole, a jerk, a man that wasn't good at feelings or relationships or settling down. He tried, for the most part, he tried but that didn't mean shit when it came down to his current life issue.
He went to open his mouth to respond but saw Hanna's front door open and out walked a very tiny person: his two year old daughter. She had dark hair that came down past her shoulders a little, it was in curls. He guessed that was natural since Hanna had slight waves in her hair and when he actually had hair, it was curly. Behind Veronica was his very reason for being, his old lady. He adjusted himself on the Dyna as he stared her down.
Juice took notice to the way Hanna looked and looked over toward Happy, his mouth was hanging open. Juice smiled at that before he noticed the prissy little two year old that was walking hand in hand with the blonde beauty.
Happy cleared his throat after he closed his mouth and took in Hanna's appearance. He noticed how the skirt she was wearing hugged her curves, his eyes started at the top of her. Examining her long blonde hair that ended in the middle of her back, he noticed her breasts and their new size. Must've came with being a mother, he hadn't noticed them two years ago. His eyes roamed over her delicious curves before reaching her legs. He wanted those long, tan legs wrapped around him so bad he could barely stand it.
Happy watched Hanna lean over in the car and he assumed she was buckling Veronica is her seat. That gave him the perfect opportunity to check out her ass and he was not disappointed. He wanted her so bad, he fought every urge to run over there and take her right there, against the new cage she was currently stand by. He wondered what happened to her beamer. She was now standing by a black Lexus Rx and the color of the car had to make him laugh. As long as he'd known her, she had only ever driven a black cage, no other color.
After trailing behind the Lexus, Happy and Juice watched Hanna park in a bank parking lot. No wonder she was dressed like that, she worked in a damn bank. They watched her go inside and they decided to head back to the SAMTAZ until they knew the bank would be closed and they could follow her home.
Tonight, Kozik and Juice would trade places so Juice could get some rest.
"You talk to her yet, man?" Tig and Kozik walked up to Happy and Juice when they got onto the lot.
Happy shook his head. "No yet… trying to figure out the fuck to go about all this. I saw her and my girl though, before they left for the day. Fuckin' kid looks just like her but with black ass hair, looked prissy as shit too. I kind of want to say fuck it, let's go home just for the way Veronica looked…. Goddamn, that was a prissy little thing."
"Well at least, she won't be a grumpy old bastard like you." Kozik laughed, hitting Happy on the shoulder.
Juice laughed and shook his head. "Hanna should be home around 4:30… She gets off work at 4, picks up Roni and then goes home. Same schedule every day."
Happy nodded his head. "Me and Koz will head over there about 4, wait for them to show up then we'll make a move."
"You need some sleep, brotha. I'll wake ya up when it's time to ride out." Kozik said, watching Happy nod his head before heading into the clubhouse.
"How about I go up there? Tell her some shit about seeing her earlier, I'm here for a run. Ya know, see if she asks about ya. If she doesn't within the first 5 minutes, I'll mention you. Come on, brotha. You might scare her off… She did run away for a reason." Kozik said as he took off his helmet and hung it on the handlebar.
Happy nodded, "Alright, man. Go and hurry up, just text me or something when it's safe for me to show up."
Kozik nodded his head and walked across the street and down to the correct house. He walked up the path and knocked on the door. He heard a little girl yell "Mommy" and he knew this was it. He was about to come face to face with the SAMCRO Princess.
He watched the door open and he looked up to see Hanna staring back. "What are you doing here, Kozik?" Her voice was bitter, laced with confusion.
He grinned at her, looking over her shoulder into the house. From what he saw, it was a very clean house. "Hey darlin', how ya been?"
"Answer the question, Koz. How'd ya find me?" She turned to see if Veronica was in earshot.
Kozik smiled, "Can't come visit my favorite girl? Come on, now…" Kozik put a hand on the brick wall beside the door. "Red called us."
Hanna's eyes grew wide. "Us? Who's us, Koz? Don't tell me he's here, too."
The small on his face dropped as he noticed how genuinely serious she was. "Talk to him, he finally found you… He never quit looking for you guys. You at least owe him a talk."
"Where's he at?" Hanna surprised herself, suddenly eager to talk to her former lover.
"Closer than ya think… why don't you go talk to him while me and Small Fry find a movie to watch?" Kozik smiled. "Go before he comes over here to kill me for taking so long."
Hanna nodded her head and led Kozik into her house. She walked into the living room and told Kozik to stay in here with her. "Don't mention anything about the sons, her dad or how you know me. If she actually asks, tell her you work with me at the bank and I'll be right back." Kozik sat down in the recliner and began to examine to two year old sitting on the floor watching the television.
Hanna pulled on her pumps and walked outside.

Happy watched Hanna lead his brother into the house, a couple minutes passed and the front door opened again. This time, it was his old lady walking out of it. He watched her walk toward him, getting closer and closer. He got off the Dyna and stood by it, waiting for her approach.
She finally reached him and stood there for a minute, staring at him. Right as he went to open his mouth to say something, her hand made contact with his face. He held his stinging cheek for a minute while the anger slowly seeped into him.
"What the fuck was that for?" He inquired, getting all too angry.
Hanna rolled her eyes, "That's for cheating on me." She pushed him back a little, making him stumble. "That's for taking too long." She lunged at him, wrapping her arms around his neck. "This is for her."
The anger disappeared as Happy breathed in her scent, that same damn smell that had him intoxicated. He wrapped his arms around her tiny waist and held her closer. He put his face in the crook of her neck, standing comfortably like that for a minute before he pressed a kiss to her neck. "I'm sorry, baby…"
Hanna pulled herself out of his arms and shrugged her shoulders. "It is what it is… I'm sorry I left. I'm sorry I took her with me… But most of all, Hap, I'm sorry we ended the way we did. If I could go back, I would've never let us end that way."
Happy shook his head, stepping closer to her. "I can't tell you I forgive for that shit because I don't, not yet… You ripped me a part with that. You left me, Hanna… It fucked me up. But you also took my girl from me, that's my daughter too, Hanna…"
"What are you really here for, Hap?" Hanna questioned, putting the conversation back on track.
Happy looked at the ground, feeling scared. "You and her. I'm not living until you agree to forgive me and give this another try. I let you go twice and I don't plan on letting you go this time. I'm an asshole, Hanna, I know that but baby, I love you… I love Veronica." Happy stepped closer toward Hanna. "Come on, baby, give up this shit here and come home with me." He stepped closer to her. "You look so damn good, baby. I don't know if I can handle another second without touching you." He finally closed the distance between them and pulled her face to his. "I want you right now." Happy's raspy voice was barely a whisper.
If his voice didn't do her in, it'd be the dark eyes he was currently drinking her in with. Her hands moved under his cut and shirt. He smiled down at her, showing off his dimples and that's when she caved… Pressing her lips to his as quick as she could. Their tongues instinctively fighting for dominance, Hanna knew she'd lose but she still tried to fight him. Happy's hands moved away from her face and finally found their resting spot on her ass. He wanted to rip that tight ass skirt off her but he figured he'd save himself from another slap to the face.
Hanna moaned into his mouth and instantly realized everything she had been missing, it was him. The crazy asshole kissing her.
AN: Hope you all enjoyed it, let me know how ya feel about it... Let me know if ya got any questions, I'll be happy to answer them as best I can.
Thank you so much to everyone who reviewed The Crow's Nest's final chapter... You guys are so wonderful!
