AN: Ok before we start the story, I wanted to thank everyone for the alerts the story is already receiving. When I'm starting a sequel (Or 3rd Installment, in this case), I'm always worried about if the readers with stay with me on the journey. So thank you, I love you guys!

Second, I wanted to let everyone know that they are things on my profile related to the series. There's also been two playlists made for the couple that I've used on many occasions to help me write a chapter and you're welcome to check that out. Oh ps, btw, the year is 2021 ;)

Veronica Lowman was just two days away from her high school graduation and while she couldn't have been more excited, she was also feeling a little nostalgic. The brunette didn't want to leave her home, her family, the club, her brother and sister. Veronica loved Charming and she wasn't sure she was one hundred percent ready to leave the town just yet.

She continued to flip through her family photo albums that contained pictures of her family: the Lowman's and the club family. Roni loved looking through the albums, she loved seeing the pictures from her childhood. Flipping to the third page, her dark eyes landed on the picture in the top right corner, the first one on the page. It was a picture of her parents standing outside of the garage, Happy had Hanna lifted off the ground and he was smiling up at her while her hands were interlocked around the back of his neck and her lips were puckered up, ready to kiss him. It was one of Roni's favorite pictures of her parents.

The picture under that one was another picture of the couple, they were sitting on Hap's Dyna. Hanna was sitting in front of him, facing him. They were kissing and Roni was absolutely in love with the picture. Her hand ghosting over the picture and she smiled at it, wishing she could've been old enough to have seen the couple when they were younger.

"What are you doing, kid?" The raspy voice of her father scared the hell out of her, she could've sworn she was home alone.

Roni jumped before looking behind her to see Hap towering over her. "Just looking through all the pictures. These two are my favorites. You guys look so happy and in love."

"We were and we still are. Your mama will always be the damn death of me." Happy leaned over and looked at the photo Veronica's hand was still sitting on and he shook his head. "She was pregnant with you here… She was mad that I wouldn't let her ride with me anymore so she decided to act out about it, climbed on my bike when I was getting ready to leave."

Roni looked up at her father as he explained the photo. She had never heard an explanation of any of the photos in the albums and she was all too grateful to finally hear the stories. "Why her? What made you choose her?"

"I was attracted to her pretty ass face at first. Those eyes, that smile and those dimples had me hooked from the moment I saw her. You sure you wanna know the full story?" He cocked an eyebrow at his daughter, almost curious about why he was really sharing the memories with her. Veronica eagerly nodded her head and he shrugged his shoulders. "When she went to college, she was put on a protection detail because San Francisco didn't have a charter back then so your uncle called me and asked if I would go keep an eye on her. She didn't know anything about it until one night when she spotted me outside some restaurant. She told me to come to her apartment with her so I did… We talked for a while, then we started drinking." The man sat down in the chair beside his eldest child. He mentally braced himself for the next part of the story he was telling the young brunette. "We had sex… and the next morning she didn't remember a damn thing so the first thing she did was cuss me out and that's what had me hooked deeper in her." He rubbed his head, looking down at the first picture on the page, the one of her in his arms and he smirked. "No one, much less a woman, had ever spoken to me the way she did that day and I don't why I let her but I couldn't get her out of my system."

Roni looked back at the photo album, her attention on the third picture on the page. It was inside the clubhouse. Hanna was sitting on the bar top and Hap was standing between her legs, his hands gripping her hips as her hands cupped his face. She was smiling at him as he was glaring at her. "What about this one?"

"Before your time, kid… She'll always know how to piss me off and get under my damn skin. That's all I got for you on that one." He stared at the third picture, his mind taking him back to the time in the picture. He knew exactly what happened to get him so upset at her. It was a ridiculous reason to be upset with his blonde beauty but oh damn well. She had told him that she'd just go spend the night with Juice since Hap wouldn't be coming home that night. The man shook his head, pulling himself out of memories.

Roni looked back at her father and smiled. She knew what he was doing. "Was it always so happy and amazing for you guys?" She gave him an extremely confused look when he started laughing.

"Jesus… are you kidding? It was always a game of cat and mouse. If we weren't fighting, we were having copious amounts of sex. I've lost her so many times, I don't know how I got her back but I am so damn glad I did." He ran a hand over his face, the tired look in his eyes didn't go unnoticed by his daughter. "Stop looking at me like that, it was tiring… She wore me out with the back and forth. She had good reasons though… I always fucked her over. That ended years ago though. I told her I was done with it all so she'd better figure out what she wanted."

The brunette turned her head to archway that led into the kitchen as she heard the front door open and close. "I'm really surprised I don't have more brothers and sisters around her."

"Yeah, kid? Me too… but I told her I'd throw her ass down the stairs if she came to me wanting another kid after Vic. Three was enough for us… Hell, you were enough but you all weren't planned. You were just things that came about and after long talks about each pregnancy, we realized just how ok we were with having a kid." Happy looked back to see who it was that walked in his house, only to see it was Victor, Arabella and Kenny. "Where's your sister?" Hap stood up and walked into the kitchen, leaving his eldest daughter to reflect on everything he'd just told her.

"She's with Mom at TM… Ma wants Roni to work at the shop until seven." Victor looked around his father and into the dining room at his sister.

Roni closed the photo album and stood up, walking into the kitchen. "Who else is going to be working with me?"

"Ma said it's going to be just you… Mason will be there to help you if you need it. Vee has dance practice and I've got that essay that's due tomorrow so I'm going with you to the shop and I'm going to be working on that." The young Lowman looked at his father and shrugged his shoulders. "Ma wants to talk to you… Said it's important."

Happy nodded his head, but his brows were furrowed. "What about you two?"

"I was Vic's ride home. Ari has dance practice with Vee and I told Aunt Natalie that I'd drop her off at the studio." Kenny put himself in the conversation, casting a glance at his older cousin before looking back at Happy. "My dad wants you to call him when you can."

"Well, let's go, Vic. Do you know who's working there now?" Roni and Vic left the kitchen to go upstairs. Hap gave a farewell to his nephew and brother's daughter before showing them to the door and pulling out his burner to call his wife.

The phone rang a few times before her soft voice rang through his ears. "Hello?"

"Hey, baby… You still at TM?" Hap walked back into the dining room and picked up the photo album that Veronica was looking through.

"Yeah, but I'm about to leave to take Victoria to dance practice then I'm going to check on the shop. Where are you?"

"I guess I'll make sure the damn prospect knows that he needs to constantly making sure the shop is safe since our kids are in it. Little fucker likes to sit down and relax when he's on detail there. I'm at home… Me and Roni took a walk down memory lane earlier. She asked about our history so I gave her some brief information about it. I told how we came about and shit like that."

"Don't scare him… I like that one, he reminds me of a younger Key, with a mixture of you in there. There's a reason Opie and Jax put him on the shop instead of that other kid. I think he's got a thing for your baby girl though."

"Why the fuck would you tell something like that? Now I gotta kill that little fucker… She's not gettin' mixed up with a Son, it's not happening… Don't even think about getting involved with that shit either, Hanna. I'm not playing with you."

"Tell me, dear husband of mine, what would you do if she was already mixed up when the boy. Nothing is wrong with her being with a Son. Especially one that is a bit like you… protective, honest and oh so dangerous. You know, they say a girl always goes after a man that is like her father?"

"Hanna…"

"You know I'm right… Veronica will desire a Son, Victoria will want a Son and Victor will be a Son. Face it, baby, it's a tradition that our kids will take part in."

"Why are you doing this? Why are you telling me all this shit?" Hap looked up to see his son and daughter walking out the door. His eyes blazed with annoyance. She was right, her children-their children would follow in their footsteps. Either becoming a Son or becoming an Old Lady and there was nothing they could do about it. He could try to stop all those things from happening but he'd be a hypocrite; he was a Son and his wife, his lover, his woman, his ultimate reason to breath was an Old Lady. They'd both be the epitome of hypocritical and Happy Lowman would not have that at all.

"This isn't why I wanted you to call me… This is completely off topic. Would you please keep an eye on the dance studio while Vee is there? Mayans were lined up there yesterday. I don't really know why but I asked Jax to put Key and Felix there for now. I'd feel better if it was you keeping an eye on the place. Please, baby?"

"Is that the first time they've been there?"

"Yeah…"

"Are you carrying?"

"Yeah…"

"I'll be there in a minute. Call Juice and tell him to go over to the shop and sit with the prospect. Both Roni and Vic are there."

"I know how much you love the dance studio so thank you. I'll see you soon, I love you."

"I love you, too, beautiful." Happy made his way out of the house, making sure to lock the doors and turn on the security system before he got to his Dyna and left the driveway.

"You know you don't have to help me, right?" Veronica stopped wiping down the table with a cocked eyebrow at the prospect.

"Yeah I know, but I figured you needed it since he won't help you." The blond smiled at her.

Veronica looked back at her little brother and shook her head. "He's got work to do… I don't mind him not helping me if he's working on school work. What's your name, anyway?"

"Mason. You're the oldest one, Veronica, right?" He grabbed the trash out of Roni's hands and took it to the trash can behind the counter.

She nodded her head, leaning against the counter in front of the register. "Yeah, that's me… What made you want to prospect?"

"The whole thing seemed cool as hell, but then I got to see the inside workings of it all. The family, the closeness and then there's the parties, all the women and the bikes." Mason smirked at her, drinking her in.

Veronica laughed. "That's all anyone ever sees… The whores, the parties, the bikes. I'm surprised you got to see the deeper side to it all. Normally it's just a bunch of bullshit hazing…"

"Yeah, trust me, I get a lot of hazing but lately I've been told to keep an eye on you and your siblings. How old are you? I didn't think you knew so much." Mason sat down at the bar and started to play with the rings on his fingers.

Roni looked over to the other side of the room where Vic was sitting in a booth, still writing his essay. She smiled, understanding her little brother so well. "Why? We don't need a babysitter. Hell, you don't look much older than me anyway… I'm seventeen and I know enough. My dad has been in the club since way before I was born and my mom's dad was a founding member so I guess you can say it'd be a damn crying shame if I didn't know anything about the club or the lifestyle."

"Wait a damn minute, how old do you think I am?" Mason shot the brunette a confused look, making her laugh.

"Hey, Ron… Will you come read this real quick and see how it sounds?" Victor pulled himself out of his quiet little bubble only to look across the room and see Roni clearly flirting with the prospect. He shook his head, he knew it was coming… Victor knew it would end up happening. He saw the way Mason looked at his older sister, it was a look of interest and amazement; he was utterly intrigued by the eldest Lowman child and Vic saw it every time the prospect was in the same place of Veronica.

Roni's dark eyes connected with her brother's and she nodded her head. "Hang on a second." Roni walked around the counter and over to her little brother. "Let me see…" She picked up the paper that Victor pointed to and read it carefully. "This sounds really good, Vic… you're going to pass the class, quit stressing over it and have a little fun."

"Thanks, Ron… I know I need to relax but I have to stay on honor roll if I want to get that scholarship. I just want to make them proud, you know?" Victor looked up to see his sister nodding her head.

She gave her brother a half-hearted smile. "Yeah I know, kid… They are proud of you, they are so proud of you so stop worrying about if they are proud or not. You know how direct they are, they'd tell you if something was wrong."

"Hey, I'm gonna be outside for a minute. Let me know if you need anything." Roni and Victor looked up at Mason to see him walking out of the door.

"You like him, huh?" Victor adjusted himself in the booth so he could see his sister fully.

Roni finally sat down in the booth, looking at her brother for a while before nodding her head. "He's cool, don't know much about it but sure, he's cool. He's really quiet like Dad, it's weird."

"Dad's more of an observer, he just likes to take it all in. Him and Mom both are… Even though, Ma is more likely to call ya out on something while Daddy just listens to everything that's said then says something." Victor shrugged his shoulders, picking up all of his papers and neatly stacking them together before putting them back in his folder.

Like the many years before when Hanna graduated from high school, there was a big party thrown for her. Veronica was receiving one as well. Her parents told her that she was to be on her best behavior, meaning no over-drinking, no heavy smoking and if they found out she was sleeping with a member, they'd be the parents of two kids instead of three.

But what they didn't know or at least Veronica thought it was a secret was that Veronica and Mason had begun a relationship. Hanna knew, hell, she knew before they did but she kept her mouth shut, especially to her husband who would happily kill the prospect for even looking at his daughter.

Veronica walked out of the clubhouse, to where people had started to surround the ring for a fight that hadn't been witnessed in a very long time: Happy vs. Tig. Their fights were always interesting. Roni saw her mother sitting on top of a picnic table, holding onto her father's infamous cut and what looked like a t-shirt. She quickly smiled, thinking about how that was probably a normal part of a Friday night party for her parents once upon a time. Roni quickly slipped around the building and up the ladder that led to the roof. There sat the prospect, the man that she was quickly getting attached to. She wasn't like her mother at all in this case; Roni wasn't careful and attentive... her feelings were deep and they came all too quickly.

"Don't you look so lonely up here?" She smirked as she sat down beside him.

Mason shrugged his shoulders. "The prices I pay to get your attention… Congratulations, gorgeous." He handed her a box, which was quickly opened by the brunette and she saw the sterling silver crow that was hooked to a necklace. "Saw it and thought of you… It's a little more subtle… You can always say it shows your connection with the club, ya know?"

"It's really beautiful, thank you! When is your year up?" Roni lifted her long brunette hair up as Mason put the necklace around her neck. He pressed a kiss to the side of her neck before she let her hair fall.

"Nine months from now." The blond carried on the conversation as if nothing had happened.

Roni shot the blond a cocked eyebrow and dark eyes on display. "What was that?" Mason's blue eyes shifted to her, drinking her in. Noticing her short black dress and her black wedges, the entire outfit just screamed 'Fuck me please.' Before he could even could a word out, her lips were on his. At first, he was shocked before his mouth started to move against hers.

A moan slipped from her lips into Mason's mouth as their kiss deepened. The blond pulled her onto his lap, their kiss never breaking as his hands roamed her body. Slowly, his hands made their way to Veronica's ass but the clearing of a throat pulled the young couple apart almost instantly.

AN: Whooooaaa... a little cliff hanger? Yeah, pretty much. I'm going to have so much fun writing about the Lowman kids and all their many antics. Whoever thought these kids would end up being good kids was sadly mistaken... I mean, look at who their parents are ;)

Let me know what ya think, beautiful people ;)
