Okay, so this is my second SOA fanfic and the first one to have more than one chapter in it. It's going to be a Happy/OC fanfic, with probably a few one night stands between her and some of the other members. Reviews are welcomed and encouraged, even if you are just going to bitch about horrible I am. It's going to start out with only a T rating for language, but I'm rating it M in case I want to add in some sex later on in the story.
Disclaimer: I do not own Sons of Anarchy, or any of it's characters. They belong to Kurt Sutter. I do however, own my own OC's and they are mine, and mine alone.
Beta: I would like a beta for this story, as I know I tend to make a lot of mistakes, so if anyone would like to try betaing for me, I would like that. PM me or review that you are interested!

Someone once said "You can't go home again". Obviously they hadn't run away at the age of sixteen and they weren't the daughter of John and Gemma Teller. That's just what Destery Teller was going to do, after five long years of being away from her family. At the age of sixteen, Destery had fallen for a nineteen year old Mayan prospect and when they were almost caught together, they decided to run far away from the two warring clubs that would never let them be together. A mistake she would live to regret, but Carlos, would not. After fleeing to New York City, the two realized that the money they had saved up was not going to last long, but as they couldn't afford to let people know where they were, they had to try and make a living working under the table. Carlos got into selling drugs for someone, and Destery got a job stripping at a hole in the wall strip joint that never cared that she looked sixteen. Hell, they liked it. And then they started to get into cocaine, always chasing a high that would never fully satisfy them. In the end, they were no longer love struck teenagers, they were fellow addicts who shared a run down apartment and barely managed to buy food for themselves. Then came the event that would end up helping her get out of the gutter, but end up killing the one that dragged her into it. Cops busted into the apartment one night when Destery was eighteen and arrested them both on possession and Carlos with intent to sell. Sentenced to five years in prison, Destery got clean and got her GED before she got out, while Carlos was sentenced to twenty-five years and was killed by a fellow immate after six months. Now, at almost twenty-five years of age, Destery was getting into an old VW Bug and heading home to her family, a place where she hoped she could be forgiven and given a second chance at connecting with her family.

After a week of driving back to California, sleeping in the cramped backseat of the bug, which she had named "Speedy" to be ironic since the damned thing never went over fifty miles an hour, Destery was parked down the street from Teller-Marrow and trying to convince herself to drive the half a block and pull into the compound. It took a good half hour and the promise of alcohol if it didn't go well to get her to pull Speedy in and park next to a black van, then another five minutes before she could get out and look around. Self-conscious about the many pairs of eyes on her, Destery swept up her past shoulder length blonde hair into a artfully messy ponytail and set off walking across the lot, towards several kutte wearing members of the Sons of Anarchy. She recognized her Uncle Tig immediately, though by the way he eyed her, it was clear he didn't recognize her. Noticing a younger member with a mohalk staring at her, Destery cleared her throat and asked if Gemma or Jax was around.
"Jax is in the clubhouse and Gemma's in the office," the youth started before the back of his head was smacked by Tig, causing him to cry out a, "hey!"
"Don't just tell some random broad shit like that, she could be a cop!" Tig shook his head before giving her a creepy smile, "no offense, sugar."
Wrinkling her nose and feeling creeped out by the man she considered her uncle, Destery flicked her ponytail over her shoulder, "Look, Tig, I just need to talk to one of them, okay? I'm going to Gemma first, and hope to God that she won't kill me." Without another word, and ignoring Tig's questions about how she knew his name, Destery set off towards the office and paused in the doorway, just staring at her mother before hesitantly knocking on the doorframe. Gemma looked up and frowned for the span of two seconds before recognition lit up her eyes and she jumped up from the rolling chair and threw her arms around her daughter.
"Oh, Baby, you're back!" Gemma's hug was smothering and everything that Destery remembered and had missed the past few years, until suddenly Gemma pulled back and started to shake her like a ragdoll. "Where have you been?! We looked for you everywhere and were worried as shit! Do you know what you did to this family and just think you can waltz in here now with no explaination?"
"Well, Gemma, you haven't really given me time to explain anything, have you? Just started yelling like always. Good to know that hasn't changed" Destery's response was immediate and confident, something it never would have been when she was sixteen and terrified of raising her voice around her mother.
Gemma blinked and was silent for a few seconds before a smile and a small look of respect graced her features.
"Well then, baby, speak."
"Yes, I left home when I was sixteen and didn't tell anyone and worried the fuck out of all of you, but I was miserable here and I thought I loved someone and I knew if you ever found out, you would forbid me from seeing him. So I left, I lost my shit, got in trouble, and now I'm back home, because Goddamn, I missed my fucking family and right now I really fucking need them and I swear to God if you turn me out now, I will never come back and you will never hear anything about me, or any family I will ever have in the future." It was a speech that Destery had been practicing for weeks, minus the swear words, and now that it was out, she felt a hell of a lot better. And she could see that Gemma had that accepting look in her eyes that she gave women when they managed to impress her.
"Alright, Destery, calm your shit down. You know how we feel about family. It's the most important thing in the world and we'll always want you around and keep you safe."
It felt like a weight had been lifted off of Destery's shoulders and as she leaned forward to hug Gemma again, she heard a familiar voice call out, "Hey Ma, Juice and Tig said a hot chick was looking for me?"
The two women pulled apart and the second that Jax caught sight of his baby sister, he grinned and swept her up into a hug that had her gasping for breath, though she would never have asked him to loosen up, she was too happy to be around her brother again.
"Jackie! I'm so sorry I left, but I'm so happy to see you! I missed you so much."
Jax put her down and gave her a stern look, which looked very weird on her brother's face, and sighed, "Dezzy, I swear to God, if you ever pull shit like that again, I'm going to handcuff you to a bed."
"Sounds like you've been around Tig too much, brother." Stepping back, Destery took a good look at Jax, then grinned and playfully punched him in the arm when she saw his VP patch. "Holy fuck, you're the VP? Who did you have to fuck to get that patch? Was Clay satisifed when you crawled out of his bed?"
Looking disgusted, but amused, Jax ruffled his sister's hair and pulled her into another hug until Gemma pushed them both out of the office and shook her head, "Alright you two, go play. I have a party to arrange and Destery needs to go say her apologies to everyone. And stop being disgusting about Clay. What he and Jax had was special. Don't make it something cheap and meaningless."
The two siblings started to laugh and headed back towards the clubhouse, with Jax shouting for everyone in the area to come over and say hi to his long lost baby sister who had finally come home to them.

Thank you for getting to the end of this chapter with me, I appreciate it and hope that you will take the time to send me a review saying if you liked it or not and if I should continue. There is no Happy yet, but bare with me, I'm just getting started. Happy is not an easy guy to romance and it won't be an immediate "love at first sight" fic.
