CHAPTER 4

Kyah leaned against the counter picking at the fruit on the plate in front of her with a fork enjoying the mid morning quiet. She was always the first one up. Didn't matter the occasion, She was the first to rise and the last to go to bed. It was her time to think and process. To her nothing was better than watching the sunrise from her porch swing drinking coffee. She had a disney sound track playing softly as she hummed along as she finished making the breakfast feast that she only made on Saturdays when her boys were home.

Kyah put what was done in the oven to keep it warm since no one was up yet. Kyah set out plates, serving ware, silverware, and cups on large farm house table before pulling out a couple different juices out of the fridge the and pouring them into glass pitchers. She put fresh water and food into Meeko's bowls before walking out the screen door to the back porch. She sat on the swing looking out at the massive back yard occasionally tossing a grape in the air and catching it with her mouth.

Kozik rolled over, his hand roaming around the bed for his girl. The sheets on her side were cold. He groaned, sitting up he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and slowly descended the stairs. The blonde biker poured himself coffee leaning against the counter he willed himself to wake up more. Kozik shook his head at the set table in front of him.

Without fail every Saturday morning his girl would make a huge breakfast for her family. He could smell the food in the oven making his stomach rumble. She really was too much. God he loved that woman. The blonde looked around for his lady. He heard her talking quietly from the open kitchen window and followed the sound. Kyah was tossed a grape in the air and caught it. She was on her fancy phone and smiled at him. She nodded and hung up as he came over to her. "Hey baby." Kozik said leaning over and kissed her. She kissed him back and stood up.

"Hey yourself, handsome." She threw him a wink and walked into the kitchen. "Who were you talking to?" Kyah smiled as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her neck. "Hmmm Meek's breeder." Her man nodded continuing to kiss her neck. He lifted her up on the counter continuing his assault on her neck. "Dusty is bringing a puppy over too look at." Kozik nodded not listening to what she was saying. Kyah ran her hands through his hair. "That's nice baby." he murmured against her shoulder. Kyah smiled kicking her feet back and forth."Get a fucking room." Happy growled pushing past Kozik who flipped him off while his head was buried in Kyah's neck.

"Go on, get washed up. I'll get the boys up okay? Then we'll eat." She said playfully pushing her man away and patting Happy's shoulder as she walked past. Kozik watched her go smiling to himself. He looked over at Happy and grinned. The tanned tattooed man rolled his eyes,and muttered something about him being fucking lame. Which only made Kozik grin more. "She got divorced. She tell you that?" Happy looked up from from the morning paper slowly and sipped his coffee.

"She told me." Kozik washed his hands the double apron sink before refilling his coffee mug. "I'm going to ask her to marry me." Kozik announced puffing his chest out with pride and sitting in a chair at the table. "You mean again? What makes you think she's going to say yes?" Happy asked settling in his chair at the end of table. Kozik looked at him a little shocked that he knew. "You both think you're slick, I was in the room when you asked her shithead." Happy stated crossing his arms over his chest. "She didn't say no, last time." Kozik said leaning his chair back on two legs and looking over at his brother.

"She didn't yes either." Happy shot back rustling the newspaper he had started reading again. "She will." Kozik said confidently and rubbed Meeko's head grinning down at the big baby. "Not if you don't ask for permission first." Happy muttered with flick of the newspaper. Kozik never thought about asking Happy for Kyah's hand. The blonde biker sat forward in his chair and leaned his elbows on the table. "So what do you say? Do I have your blessing?" Happy looked over the top of his newspaper at him for a second and then went back to reading. "Nah, I don't like your lemonhead ass. Stay away from my sister." Happy said sipping his coffee. Kozik glared at him and flipped his brother off.

Kyah entered the kitchen just then with the twins right behind her. "Hap, won't give his blessing for me to marry you." Kozik jokingly whined at his girl. Happy set his paper down and looked over to him. The twins sat down in their chairs after washing their hands and poured themselves a drink shooting glances between their uncle and Kozik. Kyah was standing behind Happy and wrapped her small arms around his neck and rested her chin on his shoulder.

"Don't trust the fucker." Happy stated inclining his head slightly to look at her, his hand touched hers briefly before picking up his mug. "Good, you shouldn't. He's trouble." The redhead replied before kissing Happy's cheek and whispering something in his ear while smirking at her blonde biker. Happy chuckled and shot a glance over at Kozik. Who sat there glaring at the pair.

"I think mom is trading ya in Koz." Emmett said sipping on some juice before getting up and getting a cup of coffee. "About time, wouldn't you say? I like Hap better." Luke said yawning and smirked at Kozik. The blonde biker flipped Luke off. "Defend your man." Kozik said directing his comment over to his girl who was still talking quietly to Happy.

"Nah their right. Happy and I were just discussing when we should kill you and where to bury your body." Kyah quipped leaning her head against Happy's. "You fucking ruined the surprise. Can't keep a secret for shit." Happy grumbled tugging on his sisters hair. Kyah grinned and hugged the man tighter. "Fuck all of you." Kozik said holding his middle finger up and showed it to everyone. "That's what you have mom for." Luke shot back earning a slap from four different arms.

Kyah squeezed Happy's shoulders before kissing his cheek again. She washed her hands and got oven mitts out, She opened the oven and pulled trays of pancakes, Waffles, eggs and bacon; the works. She even made salsa for the eggs, glazed sweet rolls. You name it, she made it.

"It looks good, ma." Emmett said leaning over and kissing his mother's cheek before filling his plate up. "Good, I fucking slaved over it."She chuckled as she sat down and patted her thigh for Meeko to sit in her lap. "No dogs at the table." Happy barked glaring down the table at the redhead and blue nosed pit. Both owner and dog sniffed and turned their heads slightly sideways at him so their noses were in the air.

The odd little family chatted for a while talking about their week filling each other in on what the other had missed. "How was the wedding?" Kyah asked ripping a piece of bacon in two. Watching Happy as she tried to slyly give Meeko a piece as she fed herself. "Stop ruining that dog!" Happy barked not even looking up from his plate. She rolled her eyes and kissed the dogs head. "It was weird. Totty had a couple meltdowns but the food was good. Got a couple girls numbers" Emmett spoke up first. Kyah shook her head smirking at her son. "Luke? How'd you like it?" She looked over at her youngest who shrugged his shoulders not bothering to look up from his plate.

They sat in silence for a while. Enjoying the quiet as they ate. Luke looked up at his mother, who, still had Meeko in her lap. She was sipping on her coffee and reading the paper. "Ma?" She looked up at him, eyebrow raised in a silent question. "I walked to dad." Kyah sat straighter up in her chair and nodded for him to go on. He could see the concern in her eyes as she waited for him to continue.

"Do you want to talk about this here or somewhere else?" Kyah asked placing her hand on his. She knew, either way this conversation wasn't going to be good. He nodded outside and she nodded back getting up quickly and walking out the screen door that lead to the porch. Luke and Meeko followed, the rest of the men continued to eat. If they wanted them to hear what they were about to talk about they would have stayed in the kitchen. Since they didn't it wasn't their business til they were clued in on what was going on.

Kyah and Luke leaned against the side of the house with Meeko at their feet. "I asked him and he said no. Knocked up that bitch and didn't want me there." Luke said looking out at the treeline. Kyah was quiet for a while but had instantly pulled her son to her enveloping him in a loving embrace. He picked her up and rested his head on her shoulder. She almost objected to her son picking her up but at that moment he was breaking and she needed to comfort him. So she kissed his head and rubbed his back. "I'm so sorry, baby." She whispered when he put her back down. She wrapped her arms around her sons wide frame and squeezed trying to comfort him. "Fuck him, Luke James.

A Month Later

Kyah hopped out of the cab of her truck and quickly walked to the clubhouse. She should have been on the road ages ago but she was out of all of her supplies and needed to restock before heading back up home. The redhead entered the clubhouse her eyes darting around the room looking for her man. She had seen his bike parked besides his brothers so she knew he was here and didn't see him working in any of the bays so he must be in the clubhouse.

However, she didn't see him when she looked around. Kyah jogged over to the kitchen thinking that he might be in there but he wasn't. "Damn it." She muttered before turning around. She saw a prospect behind the bar and smiled at him as she walked over to him. "Can ya tell me where Kozik is?" She asked the young man as she leaned against the bar.

The kid didn't look any older than twenty-three if that. He eyed her curiously. She was wearing her old Realtree sweatshirt worn out jeans and hunting boots. her red hair was pulled back in a ponytail under a tattered camo hat with a hat hook on the bill. She wasn't wearing any make up. She looked young as hell and she knew tat. The prospect stared at her like she was the weirdest thing he had ever seen. "He's in church what do you need?" Kyah sighed and thought for a moment. She really didn't have much time to spare but she wanted to see her man before leaving for two weeks on her hunting trip.

"Do you know when he'll be out?" The kid just stared at her. So fucking helpful. She rolled her eyes and lifted her sweatshirt and pulled the hem of her jeans down a little bit exposing her tattoo. "I'm his old lady. Think that'll get me any answers?" She asked dropping her sweatshirt and fixing her pants. The kid continued to stare at her. Apparently not. Kyah huffed and flopped down on a bar stool glaring at the insolent little fuck.

The gorgeous redhead pulled her phone out and turned away from the unhelpful little shit. "They don't have their phones on them." He said as she dialed a number putting the phone to her ear. She looked back at him incredulously and flipped him off before speaking into the phone. "Duf? Yeah open the lodge up without me. I won't make it up there before you and Doreen. I haven't even left yet. Yer not tellin me anything I don't already know. Ha yeah I know. I'll let you know when I get on the road. I'll give you a hundred bucks to save my room for me. Yer the best." She hung up and turned tapping her fingers against the bar waiting for church to end.

Forty Five minutes later the doors at the end of the building opened. Kozik being the first one to come out along with rest of the men of SAMCRO. Kyah smiled widely as Kozik came out. He seemed shocked to see her but that only made him walk to her faster and pick her up when he got to her. "What the fuck are you wearing baby?" He asked setting her down. Kyah looked down at what she was wearing then back up at him.

"What's wrong with what I got on?" She asked her hands going to her hips. "You look like a fucking hick." Kyah glared. She didn't have time for him to get up her ass about her attire. "I'm gunna ignore what you just said. I'm just dropping by to say goodbye before heading up home." Kozik frowned trying to remember if she told him she was going up home this weekend. She gave him an annoyed look. "I told you about this baby." He squinted at her but nodded.

"You look crazy talking to yourself bro." Jax said clapping the other blonde on the shoulder. "What are you talking about? Kyah is right here." Kozik said looking at his brother confused."I don't see her brother. Maybe you need to get your head checked." Jax said looking at him seriously. "Haha Jax you are so clever." Kyah said rolling her eyes. Jax looked around. "Who said that? Kyah? Is that you? Where are you? I can't see you." Jax said looking around Kozik and everywhere except at Kyah. "He thinks he's so funny." Kyah said shaking her head. "It's the camo baby you blend in perfectly." Kozik said finally catching on to his brother's little game.

"With what? I don't see no trees 'round 'ere." She said looking around the room her twang coming through a little bit more. "Jesus christ you are a hick aren't you?" Kozik asked teasing his girl. She glared at him and checked her watch. "I really don't have time for this baby." She said looking back up at him. "Baby? Where'd ya go? I can't find you nowhere." Kozik said mocking her twang. The rest of the guys started calling her name looking around for her. They looked under the couches and tables looking for her. Kyah rolled her eyes crossing her arms over her chest and tapping her foot as she popped her hip out. She watched the men look around the room ignoring her. "I saw Kyah's truck parked outside where is she?" Gemma asked talking to Kozik. He shrugged his shoulders. "I can't seem to find her." The blonde biker said smiling as Kyah huffed and pinched him.

She pulled her hat and sweatshirt off knowing they wouldn't stop their shit until she did. "You fucking happy, now?" She snarled throwing the garments at her old man. Kozik laughed and the men clapped and hooted as she "magically appeared. She flipped all of them off and turned to Gemma. "What did you need Gemma?" The older woman smiled shaking her head and handed her a stack of note cards with recipes on them. "Here's a couple of the recipes you were asking about. Aren't you supposed to be heading north?" The matriarch asked. Kyah quickly looked through the note cards quickly smiling up at the woman when she was done.

"This is amazing, thank you Gemma! And yes I was supposed to leave two hours ago." The woman nodded to her and hugged the redhead. "Alright call me if you need any help with those." Gemma patted the gorgeous girl on the back and headed out of the clubhouse. "I'm leaving now. Bye nerds." Kyah said slipping the note cards in her back pocket and took her stuff from Kozik. She turned on her heel and quickly left the building muttering that it was a goddamn waste of her time. She could have been past Arbuckle by that point. "Think we went a little far." Jax said sipping his beer. "Wasn't you. She was ready to go when that fat fuck called her a hick." Tig said nodding over to Kozik who was following his girl out.

"Baby wait!" Kozik called after his girl as she slammed the door shut after she got in the truck. Instead she turned the truck on and country music blared through her speakers. She rolled her windows down, she started backing up and lit a cigarette. "Kyah fucking stop for a minute." Kozik yelled at her. "You've already wasted forty-five minutes." She shot back glaring down at him. He wrenched the door open and climbed up in the truck. "Baby just kiss me don't leave mad." He said squeezing her thigh.

His girl rolled her eyes and leaned towards him. The man slid his hand up her thigh. He kissed her heatedly his other hand hold the back of her neck so she wouldn't pull away. She kissed him back and swatted at the hand holding her neck. "I've got to go. I'll call you when I get there." She kissed him once more and gave him a pointed look at said get the fuck out of my truck.

A couple weeks later

Kyah slipped out of her truck and grinned. She came back a day or so later than she should have but she was refreshed and relaxed. The woman walked into the clubhouse. Noticing the rock that was softly playing through the speakers. She saw a young kid she guessed he was about ten or eleven sitting at the bar brooding. "Aren't you a little young to be sitting at the bar?" She joked sitting beside him. He glanced over at her but didn't say anything. Alrighty then. "I'm Kyah." She said offering her hand to the kid. He rolled his eyes at her. She smirked "You always greet people with such a happy welcome?" She joked leaning against the bar. The kid cracked a smile. Thats better. He shook his head. "I'm just that lucky huh?"

The kid smiled and offered her his hand. "I'm Kenny." Kyah smiled warmly at Kenny and accepted his offered hand. "That's one hell of a handshake, Kenny." She said nodding with approval. The kid smirked and shrugged his shoulders. "Who are you waiting for?" He asked looking her up and down. She didn't look like any of the gross women that were usually around the club. She sighed dramatically making him laugh. "Kozik. You?" He nodded at her answer.

"My dad." He saw recognition dance across her pretty face as her eyes scanned his face. "Opie's your dad, right?" She asked he nodded growing a little bit sad at the mention of his father. They sat in silence for a bit, Kyah wasn't going to ask why the kid got sad at the mention of his father. She had a pretty good idea why so there was no need to pry into this kids life.

"So what grade are you in?" She asked kicking her feet back and forth ignoring the prospect who had just appeared behind the bar. She was certain that the idiot was supposed to be watching Kenny but ditched him. Asshole. "Sixth." Kyah nodded "You like it?" He shrugged looking away from her. "Used to." Kyah tapped her nails against the bar. She got he to open up more about what he liked and soon he was chatting ear off about music and what not.

"Wanna see something cool?" She asked walking around the bar looking for a pen and piece of paper. "Yeah!" Kenny said getting off his stool. She quickly scribbled across the napkin and placed it under a glass she found. "Don't touch this please." She directed at the prospect who nodded to her. She led Kenny out to her truck. It was a Chevy special Midnight edition. All blacked out on a seven inch lift. She had it converted over to diesel and had a smoke stack coming out of the back. The monster sat on a set of blacked out twenty-two's. The truck in its monsterous glory was her baby. She had worked her ass off for it.

"Whoa." Is all Kenny said looking at the truck a big smile plastered to his face. "Come on let's go for a ride. Kenny ran over to the passenger side and and hopped in. She had asked if he needed help getting in but got no response back. Once they were in the truck Kyah rolled down the windows and opened the sunroof. She handed him her phone as she started the truck. "Put on whatever you like." She said backing the truck up. Kenny put on some rock but kept scrolling through her phone. She didn't mind it wasn't like she had anything dirty on it anyways.

"You have a boat?" Kenny asked looking up and showing her the picture of her driving her uncle's boat. She was in a bikini top with aviators on with her tattered hat put on backwards. She was laughing behind the wheel of the boat with a beer can in her hand raised in a toast. "Nah." She said looking over at him as they stopped at a red light. "It's my uncle's." Kenny nodded looking back down at the phone and started scrolling through it again. She set hers down and drove out of town. "where are we going?" Kenny asked suddenly very concerned. "Don't worry about it. Trust me okay. Nothing bad is going to happen." Kenny looked over at her apprehensively.

She turned around finding a dirt road and smiled at him as the drove off the path into a muddy. She drove around the field for a while much to Kenny's delight. "I don't think uncle Kozik would like this picture." He said showing her a picture of her and her Cousin Tate. She was sitting on his lap laughing with her eyes closed her hat was once again flipped backwards and was holding a beer can in the air. Her cousin had one arm around her she was tilted sideways. His arm kept her from falling. His face was in shock. Eyes opened wide beer held high in the air." That's cousin Tate, he was keeping me from falling over. She explained smiling at the memory. Kenny nodded but frowned.

She opened the consul beside her and dig out two hats. One was hers and another was a back up she flipped the hat backwards. "Here I want you to have this." She handed Kenny the other one. It was black or blackish faded from hours in the sun. "Really?" She nodded and put the truck back in drive before driving around fast circles letting the truck break loose and kick up mud. At one point they got stuck so she put the truck in neutral and hopped out.

"Come on Ken You're helping me." She said going to the back of the truck. Kenny jumped out and joined her. The pushed for a bit. Kenny fell into his mud puddle making Kyah laugh loudly. He was covered in mud. "So this isn't working. Grab a towel from the back seat and get in the driver's side." Kenny stopped moving and looked back at her. "What?" He asked as if he hadn't heard her correctly. "You heard me, dude. Get a towel and get in my side." The kids smile almost split face wide open. Her heart melted at his smile. Kenny got in the driver's seat. She told him what to do and pushed as the tires spun the truck gained some traction and sped off a short ways away.

At this point she was covered in mud but knew the kid felt better. She jogged over to her truck, opening the back door and grabbed a towel from the back. She wiped herself off and hopped back in the truck, when Kenny moved over for her to get it. "That. Was. Awesome." The kid stated in elation beaming. Kyah smiled. "Come take a picture with me." Kenny leaned over the consul smiling widely with his new hat on backwards like Kyah's.

As they drove through a new clearing She told him about her atv's back at her house and maybe his dad would let him come by and ride them. She drove up and down some hills sliding slightly because of the mud. She sped up coming to a hill and floored it and they caught some air making Kenny whoop and laugh. She laughed with him and headed back to the dirt road they had come in on. She drove around Charming stopping at the ice cream parlor on main street. "Wanna get an ice cream?" she asked. The kid nodded and hopped out of the truck. They got their ice creams quickly and got back into the truck.

She stopped a half block away from the garage and smiled at the kid. "You ready, Kenny?" He looked up surprised."For what?" She smiled wildly and revved the engine out. It she watched the needle climb and looked over at Kenny. "Look out the back when I tell you. Her press record when I tell you to look back." She rolled her windows up and closed the sunroof. He turned around as she peeled out leaving a thick white cloud in their wake. The cloud followed them to the garage. Kenny was laughing as he climbed out of the truck the cloud had coated the entire block and made the air smokey. "THAT WAS SO COOL!" He exclaimed racing to the edge of the lot. He looked around the corner and laughed more seeing the cloud hadn't disappeared yet.

The pair walked back into the clubhouse finishing their ice creams. Kyah was explaining to the kid how her truck did what it did. They didn't notice the group of bikers around the bar as they came in. "You think dad will let me come out and ride with you guys next time it rains?" Kenny asked looking over at the red head hopefully. She shrugged taking a bite of her cone. "Don't know Ken, you'll have to ask him, you know?" The kid smiled and nodded."I hope he does that would be so cool!" He laughed. They looked up at the group of bikers in front of them smiling. Kenny jogged over to his dad hugging him tightly.

"Dad, Pop! Kyah is SO cool! We got stuck and she let me drive her truck." Kyah frowned at the floor rubbing the back of her neck. "Really? How'd you get stuck?" Opie asked looking over at Kyah. Kyah looked up to see a million eyes staring at her. She smiled and walked up to the bar asking for a bottle of water. "Dad, she took us to this field and then we got ice cream. Look at this dad!" He said racing over to Kyah and taking her phone from her. He ran back to his dad and showed him something. Kyah heard the distinct sound of her turbo spooling and her tires squeal. "Dad look at that smoke! Come out side!" He dragged his dad out side to the end of the lot with the rest of SAMCRO following them.

The block was still hazy and Kenny beamed up at his dad. Kyah felt someone pat her on the the shoulder. She looked over and saw an old man. He was familiar to her but couldn't place his name. "I haven't seen that boy smile like that in years." Piney that was his name. The old man looked affectionately to his son and grandson. "Really pissed off your old man though." Piney said shooting her a glance. Kyah sighed. "At least Kenny had fun." The redhead said changing the subject.

At this point she didn't care if Kozik was upset with her. All she cared about was Kenny having a good time. Which he did. "Yeah thank you Like I said he hasn't talked this much since Ope went away." Kyah smiled. "I'm glad I could help. I hate to see kids sad." Piney scoffed and looked over her. "I work with kids so it's a knee jerk reaction for me to make them feel better." She offered Piney nodded then looked up meeting someone's gaze. Kyah looked up to see Opie and Kenny coming over to them. "Kenny, go with pop I need to talk to Kyah." Kenny nodded smiling to Kyah before walking off with Piney.

"So, you usually make it a habit to kidnap people's kids?" Opie asked sternly crossing his arms over his chest. "Try not to, it looks bad. Gives the wrong kinda impression to their parents." Kyah said leaning her back against the outer wall of the clubhouse. She thought she saw a ghost of a smile cross his face but wasn't so sure. "I know it looks bad but he looked so miserable. I thought it would help." She offered him a cigarette pulling one for herself out. He accepted one and lit his. Opie shook his head after a while of them being in silence. He wasn't sure what he felt. For some reason he trusted Kyah he knew Kenny was safe with her.

"He hasn't talked to me like that since before I got locked up." Opie said staring off into the distance. Kyah smiled. "He had a lot of fun. We both did. He's a fun kid." The giant man smiled. "So I hate this weird chit chat so I'll cut to the chase." Opie looked down at her raising his eyebrows. "I shouldn't have gone off without talking to you. Won't happen again." Opie chuckled. "Alright good talk." He said stubbing out his finished cigarette. "If you ever want me to watch him or need any help hit me up. I've got five acres of woods and fields and twins who want a little brother."

Opie laughed. "I work with kids. Have a Ph.D in child development and psychology so if anyone it should be me." She said smiling. Opie nodded. "I didn't know that." She flicked her cigarette away from her.. "Now you do. Well, I'm going bounce gotta truck to clean." Opie stared at her. "Kozik is looking for you." She raised an eyebrow at him. "Alright." She squinted a bit but followed the man into the clubhouse and her certain doom.

Kozik listened to Opie's kid going off the rails about Kyah and how cool she was. He smiled to himself, the kid was a mess covered in mud laughing with Jax and Juice. The clubhouse doors opened and Opie walked past him to his kid. Kozik saw Kyah dart away down the hall and he followed. She was leaning against the wall her back to him. "No. Because I fucking said so boy." The mother growled. "School is starting soon you need to get back on schedule. Both of you. I don't fucking care what your dad says. I'm tired Luke, please just get home." Kozik waited for her to end the call before approaching his girl.

She turned and smiled at him trying to walk past him."No you don't." He said backing her up into a wall. "We gotta have a chat." He muttered taking in her some what muddy appearance. He licked his lips unable to help himself. She was so hot. "So lets chat." She said rolling her eyes. "First when you tell me you're going to be somewhere I expect you to be somewhere or let me know. Second if you're not going to come home let me know."She opened her mouth to speak but he cut her off.

"Your my old lady as it stands you already have way more length on your leash than most do. I don't fucking appreciate you blowing me off." She glared at him opening her mouth to say something again but he again cut her off. "When I tell you need to come home for a fucking lock down you fucking come home for a lock down. You don't fucking argue with me and you sure as fuck don't hang up on me and turn off your goddamn fucking phone. Do you fucking hear me? I don't give a fuck who you are you will not play that game with me. You will not disrespect me like that again. Are we clear." She stared blankly at him her eyes narrowed and crossed her arms over her chest."Crystal." She spat back at him.

He moved so she could walk by. Kyah being Kyah muttered "I'll show you a fucking leash." as she brushed by him. "Quit your fucking shit. You've been nothing but fucking disrespectful." She looked back at him and stared. "First, my cousin knocked my phone out of my hand when you called. It fell in the lake. Second, we got stuck in in the cabin because everything flooded. I wouldn't have come back in time."

Then walked back out to the main room. "Kyah show them your boat!" Kenny said jumping over to her. Kyah smiled and walked with him. "Okay, okay hold your horses kid!" She pulled out her phone and handed it to Kenny who scrolled through her pictures til he found it. "You have a boat?" Opie asked setting his beer down and taking the phone from his son. "Its my uncle's." Kyah said sipping the beer the prospect had given her. "And whats about this shit?" He held her phone up to show her the same picture Kenny had showed her before the one of her and Tate.

"What are you getting at Opie?" She said glancing at the photo unfazed. Opie raised his eyebrows at her. She raised one back in response. "That's my cousin Tate. He Uncle's David's boy we have the same birthday." She took the phone and pulled a picture up of her family "This is the Matthews clan." She gave him the phone and turned away to talk to Kenny. "You think I could drive your uncle David's boat?" Kyah smiled and shrugged. "I dunno kid." Kenny frowned she frowned in turn and faced him.

"But I'll tell you what." Kenny's eyes brightened in anticipation "I have an smaller boat maybe you and your dad can take it out fishing one day? What do you think of that?" Kenny beamed and looked at his father expectantly. "What do you think, dad?" He asked smiling up at the man. Opie beamed at his son and shrugged "Don't know much about boat steering but why not?" The made the boy smile even bigger.

"When did you learn to drive a boat?" Kenny asked Kyah plopping down beside her on the couch. She looked over at the boy and smiled. "Sixteen." His eyes grew wide. "I learned that before learning how to drive." She confided in the kid "But don't tell nobody that." She said t knowing he would probably tell anyways it wasn't a big deal to her if he did or not. "That is so cool Ky." He said sitting back further in his seat. "Don't I know it." She laughed at the kid. "You think I could learn?" She thought about carefully, knowing what he was asking.

"Anyone can learn to steer a boat, Kenny." She said knowing that wasn't what he meant. "You know what I mean!" Kenny said laughing and sitting forward leaning on his elbows on his knees. "I can't answer that one for ya, kid. That's your dad's department." She wasn't going to over step and tell the kid hell yeah I'll teach you how to steer a boat or drive a car. "Do you have kids? When did they learn?" He asked his eyes bright with excitement. "I do. I have identical twins." Kenny smiled more.

Kyah honestly thought if this kid smiled anymore his face would probably split in half. "How old are they?" Kyah lifted her ass off the couch and pulled out her phone to show him a picture of her boys. "They're going to be sixteen in October. This is them." Kyah showed the young boy a picture of her and her boys. "I thought they were your older brothers. They're fifteen?" The boy asked incredulously. "Yessir they're fifteen." She said handing him him her phone. "They're huge." She nodded and spotted Kozik coming out from where the dorms were. "They take after my dad. I'm the smallest in my family." She told the kid as he flipped through her pictures.

"I figured that. You're shorter than my mom was." Kyah looked over at him. "Yeah?" He nodded "You hunt?" He asked changing the subject quickly. "Yessir hunt, fish, frog giggin', truck pulls, muddin you name it I probably do it." She said proudly. "What about porn?" Kyah's mouth fell open and stared at the boy. "What? No. Why would you ask me that?" She asked the boy quietly taking her phone from him so he would look at her.

"My step-mom does porn." Kyah nodded okay so that's where that question came from. "I hate it, the older guys at school always bring it up, show me shit." Kyah sat up straighter and looked to Opie then back at his boy. "First, don't talk like that, Kenny. Second, you should talk to your dad about it." The kid shook his head and stood. "He won't do anything about it. He married her." He said walking away. Kyah watched open mouthed as Kenny threw the clubhouse doors open and stormed out.

She stood and ignored Kozik who was staring at her. "What was that about?" Opie asked quietly looking down at the small redhead. "He has a problem..." She said carefully looking up at Kenny's father. He raised his eyebrows waiting for her to continue. Kyah chewed on her lip trying to figure out what to say that wouldn't make the giant of a man mad. "He brought up that his step mom does porn and that some kids give him shit about it. I suggested that he talk to you about it." She said quietly and stuck her hands in her pockets. Opie frowned and looked back at the clubhouse doors then to Kyah.

"I'm not getting involved he was asking about my family and my boys." She was unable to stop the chuckle that came from her. "He thought the twins were my older brothers." She smiled and shrugged before continuing "I told him I was the smallest in my family and he said I was shorter than his mom." Opie raised his eyebrows in mild surprise then looked her up and down. "You probably are shorter than Donna. How tall are you?" She wanted to say that wasn't the problem here but she didn't want to get into it. "Five - three or fve -five " Opie nodded immediately.

"Donna was five -seven. You are shorter than her." Kyah nodded "Well he changed the subject quick then asked about porn. If I may say it might be good to talk to him but." She shook her head and held her hands up. "Mmmm not getting involved." Opie nodded. "Thank you, Kyah." He said patting her shoulder and leaving. Kyah followed grabbing her keys out of her pocket and ignored Kozik who was still looking at her, trying to catch her eye. Once she was out of the clubhouse the small redhead walked to her truck and fiddle with her phone.

Kozik came out of the dorms as soon as he had calmed down. He was mad at her but he still felt like an asshole. He looked around the room and saw Kyah sitting with Kenny, both were smiling like fools. He watched her talk to the young man. His face fell and he said something. Kyah frowned at the kid then nudged him and said something. Whatever the kid said back to her completely fucked her. She had looked over to Opie then back to the kid and said something to him. Then the kid stormed out.

Kozik watched his girl leave. She was still ignoring him. Her little nose was in the air when she walked by him. "You might be pissed at her but she did some vodou shit with my grandson today." Piney said Sidling by. Kozik nodded but didn't respond. It wasn't the old mans business. Kozik hopped off his stool and walked outside. His girl was leaning on the side of her truck talking on the phone. He walked up to her his eyes taking in her appearance. She turned so her ass was facing him, she was laughing and shaking her head. "Okay I'll see you soon, bye baby." She ended the call jsut as Kozik grabbed her hips. "Where ya goin'? He asked running his hands over her ass. "Home." She said stepping away from him. "Why don't you stay here?" he asked pulling her back to him. "Don't want to." She unlocked the truck and moved away from him again. "What if I want you to?" She opened the door. "I have to take care of my boys." Kozik stopped her from getting in the truck. "I'm yuor boy, take care of me." She brushed him off. "Take care of your self." She said stepping on the foot rest. He grabbed her again and she jerked away from him. "Whatever." He said walking away.

He heard her mumble fucking asshole as she slammed the truck door shut. He wrenched the door open and stepped up. "You ever fucking think something happened to my fucking phone and I couldn't get a hold of you? Ever fucking think of that?" He glared up at her. He hadn't thought of that. "My cousin was fighting with me when I was talking to you You wouldn't let me get a word in then. He took my phone and fucking dropped it in the water he was fucking drunk. There's no reception up there so I had no way of getting back to you. I had to wait for a new one to be sent to my uncles p.o box, so i had to wait for the phone since everyone was going back up state. And Every time I did call you never fuckign answered But go on and tell me about my fucking place. Please do." She growled at him her eyes were dark green adn her face was pink from anger.

"Baby." He said quietly in shock. "That's what I fucking thought." She hissed starting her truck. "Kyah." He said trying to regain control the conversation. "Don't." She snapped at him. "Fucking macho man bullshit. You don't need to fucking whip your dick out. I already know how big it is so next fucking time.." He started laughing and she stopped talking. She shoved him out of the truck. He fell backwards still laughing at her. Kyah jumped out of the truck in a blind rage. "You think its fucking funny?" She yelled at him shoving him back to the ground as he got up. She stormed away shaking. "Baby calm down." He said coming up behind her. She was on top of him in a second and he started laughing again.

Happy had pulled in right as Kenny came storming out of the club house. Soon followed by Opie then Kyah came out with her nose in the air. He figured that Kozik had said some shit to her. He lit a cigarette and a couple minutes later Kozik came out and went over to Kyah probably to make up with her. Happy didn't hear what was going on with them but he watch Kozik walk away and then go back to the truck whipping the door open. Kyah lit into him, Happy could tell by how red her face was. Kozik started laughing and Kyah pushed him out of the truck. That made Kyah madder, She hopped out and pushed the man down again. Happy slowly got off his bike and watched as his sister storm off.

He slowly walked past the bikes as Kozik went after Kyah and told her to calm down. Happy grabbed her before she could hit the blonde biker. She was shaking when Happy picked grabbed her. "Fuck off." She whispered her eyes locked on Kozik who realized he had pushed her to far. Happy picked the girl up and walked to the truck throwing her in and shutting the door. He told Kozik to head home but as soon as the words left his mouth the passenger side door slammed shut and he saw a blur of red hair going after Kozik. The blonde biker wasn't taking his girl seriously. He started laughing again and Kyah stared at him. She was at a level of rage that left her calm. "We're done." She whispered backing away from him. She got in the truck and drove off leaving Happy and Kozik staring at each other.

"What the fuck did she say?" Kozik asked the tan man, blinking slowly at him. Happy shook his head rubbing his face with his hands. They were quiet a while probably five or ten minutes when it finally hit Kozik. "She really say that?" Happy blew out a breath. "Fucking shit." Kozik ran to his bike and hopped on peeling out of the lot. Happy walked back to his bike and got on. He knew it was going to be a long night.

Kyah got to her house in half the time. She honked twice and then opened the garage. She grabbed her hunting bag from the back of the truck and hopped on one of the atv's that were parked there. "Ma, what's going on?" She looked up at Emmett and Luke. "You don't know where I went. You got that?" They nodded. She kissed each kid and started the atv. They watched as their mom back the vehicle up and ride into the woods.

"Kozik fucked up." Emmett said folding his arms over his chest and looking over at his brother. "Probably pissed because he went off on her for not coming back for the lock down." Emmett shook his head. "She couldn't even get here." Emmett said walking to his mother's truck. "She didn't even unpack." He said as he opened up the tail gate. Luke shook his head and helped his brother unload the truck. They stopped when they heard bikes coming up the drive and looked at each other.

They watched as Kozik jumped off his bike and ran into the house. Happy parked his bike in the garage and got off slowly. "Where is she?" He asked walking over to the them. Emmett shrugged and went back to unloading the truck. Luke stared at his uncle for a second and opened his mouth but closed it again then went back to taking the last few bags out of the truck.

"Don't fucking play with me." Happy growled stopping both boys before they could go into the house. "Can't say." They answered somewhat truthfully. The property their mother had bought was big. Had a lot of places she could have gone to get out of her head. Happy glared at them. "Call her." Their uncle demanded but the kids shook their heads. "She'll be back soon." Luke offered stepping around his uncle and into the garage. Emmett nodded and followed his brother.
