Chapter 3

"Let me look at you!" Kozik said, trying to pry his sister off his chest. Holding her at arms length he was pleased with what he saw. She looked healthy, tired and sad, but healthy.

"I missed you" Stevie said with a shy smile. She was happy when she saw her brother smiling, he looked thrilled to see her. "Missed you to baby girl" he said and he pressed a kiss to her forehead.

"Well isn't that cute" she heard one of the men say, clearly using a mocking tone. She turned around and saw it was the man with the dark curly hair and the most beautiful blue eyes she had ever seen. Without thinking she walked up to him and studied his face.

Tig was taken aback when he was faced with the intent stare of the little blonde woman. She met his gaze with nothing but curiosity and admiration. "Those are some beautiful eyes!" she said, grabbing his hand. "I'm Stevie, like you probably guessed", and shook his hand fervently.

"Isn't that cute!" Kozik said, grinning at his brother. "Shut up you moron!" Tig said, still staring at the woman, who was now looking around for something.

"Looking for this?" A raspy voice made her turn around. A tattooed arm held out her bag. "Yeah thanks!" She said, grabbing her bag and following the arm up to two very dark brown eyes. "Try to aim better next time girl!" The man rasped, giving her an annoyed glance.

"Don't mind him, he's called Happy and he ain't Happy!" Kozik said, laughing when he saw his brother give him the stare of death.

"So are you gonna introduce your president or what?" A blonde handsome man said, poking Kozik's shoulder. "Stevie, this is Jax" "Hi! So nice to meet you!" Stevie said, taken by surprise when she was hugged by Jax.

"I just had to meet you, Kozik has told us so much about you!"

"All good things I hope?" Stevie said, grinning at her brother. "Lets go inside" Jax said, putting his arm around her shoulders.

Tig and Kozik followed but Happy stayed behind. He didn't like the little woman. There was something about her that made him feel uneasy. Not to mention the little bitch had thrown her bag in his face! He decided he didn't need to hear her the life story of some little gash who apparently already had Jax and Tig eat out of the palm of her hand. Revving up his bike he sped towards the gate, noticing the big ass car she had come in. Bitch got money! He thought, before leaving the lot.

"I hear you've got quite the reputation in Jersey!" Jax said, as he handed her a beer. They were sitting at the bar in the clubhouse. Stevie immediately liked the room, it smelled of cigarettes, alcohol and the musky scent of all the men.

"What can I say, I guess word travels" Stevie said with a wink. "So how are you?" Kozik asked, with a worried look on his face. Knowing what he was talking about Stevie said "Better, it gets better every day."

It had almost been 2 years since Silvio had gotten shot. That year they would have been married for 3 years. The first year had been a nightmare. She had been cooped up in their big house for over 6 months, filling her days with crying, smoking, writing and drinking.

One day she had woken up to find herself on the living room floor, dirty, incredibly skinny and exhausted. She had gotten up, taken a long hot shower, had her first decent meal in weeks and stepped out into the world again. That was when she had tried to pick up her life again. But it proved to be more difficult than she thought.

She remembered going back to the parking lot of the Bing, where Silvio had been shot and was immediately transported back to that day. Her head got cloudy and she saw herself running outside to see what all the commotion was about. The moment she saw their car, windows shattered and a person slumped against the passengers seat she had started to scream.

She hadn't stopped screaming. Not when she ran closer and saw it was her husband, not when Paulie had come to hold her back and not when she felt like her legs had turned to jelly and she had fallen on the ground, hugging the asphalt, her eyes clouded by the tears.

He had been her everything, her rock, her protector and her soul mate. They had been through hell and back together when she had lost her daughter. He had been there for her, to pick her up and hold her and to tell her it was going to be ok. Now he was gone, and there had been no one to hold her then.

"It has made me stronger" she told Kozik and the guys, who were looking at her with sad faces. "That's my girl", Kozik said while giving her one of his bear hugs.

"Lets talk about more cheerful stuff!" Stevie said, getting tired of seeing sadness everywhere she went. "I'll be staying at your place right?" she asked Kozik, who nodded.

"Yeah, lets go and get you settled, you'll meet the rest of the guys at the party tonight no doubt!"

She said her goodbyes and went back to her car to follow Kozik on his bike. She briefly remembered those dark brown eyes, where had Happy gone?

I promise next chapter there will be more Happy! Please review! xx
