Age 30

"Grandpa can we do a puzzle when we get home?" Happy glanced in the rearview mirror of his cage. He never foresaw himself becoming the doting grandfather that picked the kids up afterschool but he had slipped into the role easily, on his own without being asked, and truly enjoyed it.

"After you do your homework." Happy reminded her enforcing his daughter's only rule. She had gone back to work part time once Kristen had started grade school and put Mathew into daycare at the recovery center she worked at.

"Daddy's home!" Kristen yelled when they turned onto her street and saw a bike in the driveway.

"No sweetie, Daddy's still in Arizona. That's not his bike." Happy held in a groan when he got closer and recognized the dyna. He parked next to it and pulled out his prepay.

"Youth counseling, this is Gabby." She answered her work phone.

"Hey sweetheart. Just got to your place, Tig's here." Happy got out of the car and opened the back door to let Kristen out.

"Shit, he's early. Charming was headed to Arizona; Tig asked if he could stop in and see the kids on the way." Gabby spoke and he could hear paper's shuffling. "I finished the late intake. I just need to put the insurance claim in. I'll only be another half an hour or so."

"That's fine. I got Kristen we're good."

"Dad?" She called as he went to hang up.

"Yeah sweetheart?"

"You're gonna stay there, right? I don't…Kristen doesn't know Tig that well." It wasn't really accurate to say she didn't trust Tig alone with either of her children, she knew Tig would never be inappropriate with them like he had been with her, and he would die himself before letting them get hurt. But years of being outright scared of Tig as a child and more so as a teenager still left her with an uncomfortable knot in her stomach when it came to Tig.

"I'm not going anywhere Gabs." Happy assured her before hanging up.

"That's not a Fresno bike." Six year old Kristen accurately stated from looking at the art on the bike. She took Happy's hand automatically so he could walk her up the driveway.

"It's Uncle Tig's bike. You remember him right?"

"Yes, he's from Charming. Are Able and Thomas here?" She got excited.

"No sweetie, just Tig this time." Happy looked around for him but couldn't find him and unlocked the front door to let Kristen inside.

"Tig!" He shouted as Kristen plopped down on the floor to take her shoes off.

"Uncle Tig!" Kristen yelled twice as loud when Happy got no answer.

"Maybe he went to the store. " Hap said out loud though he didn't believe Tig would walk to the corner. "You hungry?" Hap asked as Kristen went directly to the kitchen and set her book bag on the table.

"Yeah…" Kristen went to the fridge and pulled out a new bag of celery. Happy waited patiently as she stuck a near foot long celery stalk into a two inch tall container of vegie dip. "Grandpa?"

"Yes sweetie?"

"Can you make these smaller?" Happy grinned and smoothed his hand over his granddaughter's crazy hair as he grabbed a steak knife and started chopping up an afternoon snack. "Uncle Tig is on the swing set." Kristen said as she opened the back patio door. "Uncle Tig!" She yelled out while Happy put her snack on the table.

Tig's head shot up from his phone and he jumped of the swing he had claimed while he waited. Kristen left the door open for him and returned to the kitchen table to eat her snack.

"Tig." Happy greeted him at the door and closed and locked it behind him.

"Hap, hey. I didn't think you'd be here." Tig hugged his brother and looked around the kitchen for Gabby.

"Gabs got stuck at work she'll be 30 minutes or so." Hap answered Tig's non question.

"Grandpa picked me up from school. He usually picks me up on Thursdays. We're gonna do a puzzle, will you help us?" Kristen rambled away to Tig as she chomped on celery and swung her legs under the table. Kristen was friendly with anyone wearing a cut whether she had ever met them or not. But if anyone outside of the club spoke to her she would immediately bury her head in her mother's leg.

Tig smiled at the girl and sat down next to her. "I'd love to help you doll."

Happy reached into her book bag and pulled out Kristen's homework folder. It astounded him that kids got homework so young these days. Or maybe they always had, it's not like he had ever done his at any age.

"Forgetting something?" Happy held up the folder and Kristen pouted for a moment before swallowing what was in her mouth.

"I only have spelling words. I know them all, I promise grandpa." She got up and put her plate in the sink.

"Come on Hap, I can quiz her while we do the puzzle." Tig grabbed the folder and got up from the table.

"Yay!" Kristen yelped and jumped up and down before grabbing Tig's free hand. "Come on Uncle Tig, we can do the puzzle in the living room."

Gabby came through the garage door with Mathew on one hip and her and his bags on the other. "Hello!" She called out but no one answered her. "Okay Mathew, where do you think everybody went?" She talked to her son.

"Sissy." He said back, and Gabby smiled. He'd started calling Kristen sissy about three months ago. They weren't sure if he was trying to say sister or sweetie.

"Yes my boy. We seem to be missing sissy." Gabby set the bags down in the hallway and put Mathew down on the living room floor.

"Mommy!" Gabby heard and turned to watch her daughter jump off a swing and come running full speed inside the house followed by Happy and Tig.

"Hi sweetie. Did you behave for grandpa?" Gabby squatted down to talk to her daughter face to face.

"Yes mommy, and Uncle Tig. He helped me with my spelling words and did a puzzle with me and pushed me on the swing." Kristen recited every event of the afternoon for her mother.

Gabby glanced quickly at Tig over Kristen's head and he smiled at her. "Oh yeah? What puzzle did you do?"

"We did the princess tea party puzzle. Uncle Tig said it was hard because everything was pink but it's not that hard."

Gabby smirked and stood up. "Sounds like you and Uncle Tig had a busy afternoon. Go put your puzzle away so your brother doesn't start taking the pieces. Do you want to help me in the kitchen?"

"Yes! Uncle Tig it's meatless Monday!" Kristen spoke to him while running into the living room and putting the puzzle away. "Are you gonna stay and eat with us? Grandpa doesn't usually stay for dinner on meatless Monday's. Uncle Shark usually comes over but he went to Arizona with daddy and all the other guys. Grandpa and Uncle Lenard stayed here though. Mommy! Is Uncle Lenard coming over for dinner?" Kristen finally stopped talking as she slid the puzzle box under the couch.

Tig looked completely confused after hearing the one sided conversation. He looked at Happy blankly but got no help from the man as Hap picked up his grandson who was pulling at his cut with calls of "pa up pa up."

"Grandpa." Happy sounded out slowly as he settled Mathew in his arms.

"Gra-pa."

"Grandpa."

"Gra-pa"

Tig had to choke back a mouthful of regret as he watched the two together and finally left them in favor of the kitchen.

"Uncle Lenard isn't coming over sweetie, and Uncle Tig has to get going to Arizona."

"I don't like Arizona." Kristen pouted.

"Kristen you've never been to Arizona. It's Tucson's 35 year anniversary as a charter, daddy and the others went to celebrate."

"An-a-verse-a-ry?" Kristen tried to repeat and Tig and Gabby both smiled at how cute it was.

"Like a birthday sweetie, the Tucson charter turns 35 this year." Her mother explained the new word.

"Is grandpa gonna leave too?" Kristen asked as Gabby pointed to the sink for her to wash her hands.

"Nope, grandpa's staying here." Happy came in and assured his granddaughter, carry Mathew on his hip.

"Too old for the ride Hap?" Tig teased and the men were instantly chest to chest in a stare down.

"You two are not fighting in MY house in front of MY kids. Dad, back off. Tig, Chris asked Lenard and Hap to stay behind or they would already be there. You're the one that sidetracked from the rest of your charter." Gabby stepped up and put a hand on each of their chests.

Happy glanced at Kristen who had frozen with her hands under the running water and was staring at the men. He backed up immediately, Mathew still on his hip, and walked around the kitchen island and turned off the water.

"It's alright sweetie, we weren't really gonna fight." Hap assured her and kissed the top of her head.

Gabby continued to stare at Tig. "Hallway, now." She demanded and pulled Tig by the front of his cut to the front door, out of earshot of the kitchen.

"I get what you're doing Tig. I know what you want and that you don't know how to get it, but that" she pointed to the kitchen, "was the wrong way."

Tig started to speak, after all he had only made the comment, Happy had been the one to take offense and want to fight.

"No, I'm not done yet." Gabby interrupted him. "You want to come over here, have some kind of a relationship with my kids, that's fine. You want to get to know me, great. But nothing you do now will make up for what happened. I've barely forgiven you, I will never forget."

Tig nodded his head but wisely kept quiet. "You abandoned me. And more than just walk away you denied I was even yours, and then you proceeded to make my life a living hell. Happy is the one that stepped up. He raised me, he took care of me, he loved me. Happy is my father, and those kids grandfather, not you. He is a huge part of my life and if you expect to be around more you need to get used to it. We both know which one of you I would pick if it came down to it."

"I'm sorry. I understand." Tig looked down at the floor instead of looking into her eyes.

"Kristen would like you to stay for dinner. If you think you can behave yourself you are welcome to do so."

"Yes I will. I'd like to stay."

Gabby nodded her head once and left Tig at the door to return to the kitchen. Happy eyed his daughter as she came back into the room. She didn't appear to be upset or crying. He met her eyes and she gave him a small smile.

"Stay? I'll make you meat." She said quietly to him and smoothed her hand over Mathews head.

"You need me I'm here sweetheart." He whispered back and kissed the top of her head.

"You ready to help me cook sweetie?" She turned back to her daughter.

"Yes, hands clean!" She showed them to her mother to emphasize. "What are we making?"

"Veggie calzones." Her eyes rested on Tig briefly as he walked back into the room. "I'm gonna cut up the veggies and layout the dough and you can fill them all, okay?" Gabby tried to involve Kristen in cooking now that she was older. She laid out a baking sheet and dough before grabbing a range of veggies out of the fridge.

"Why don't you make a special one for each person and ask them what they want." She gave Kristen a job to do while she chopped up the veggies.

"What do we have?" Kristen stood on her stool watching her mother.

"You tell me."

"Peppers, mushrooms, onion, and tomato. I know what grandpa likes, he wants everything but tomatoes. I want everything. Uncle Tig, what do you want on your calzone?"

"Everything except mushrooms." Tig answered and started clearing the table.

"That's what mommy likes on hers too. Mommy is Mathew gonna eat a calzone?" Kristen asked as she sprinkled cheese on the dough.

"No sweetie, he's just gonna have veggies and cheese that he can pick up. Add a spoonful or so of pasta sauce in each one." Gabby helped Kristen finish. "Do you know who's is who's?"

"Yes, but I'm gonna carve initials on them." Gabby snatched the knife before Kristen could grab it and handed her a fork.

"Alright, 20 minutes. Did you do all your homework?"

"Yes, it was just spelling words cause we have a test tomorrow."

"And the math flashcards you're supposed to do every day?" Gabby gave her daughter a stern look. She wasn't all that stern with her daughter, but living a club life stability and schedules weren't the norm. She tried her best to put structure into her kid's lives when she could.

Kristen let out an exaggerated sigh and ran up the stairs to her room. Gabby laughed at Hap as he stared at the ceiling and shook his head at the thunderous noise such a small child could make.

"Can you do those with her while I change?" Gabby asked Happy.

"I can." Tig offered.

"Alright, she can't do them on the swing set." Gabby warned and then disappeared up the stairs.

"Math facts." Kristen yelled as she slid in her socks into the kitchen.

"Uncle Tig's gonna do math with you." Happy informed her as he set Mathew down to crawl around.

"Uncle Tig come on, we can do math facts on the swing set." Kristen grabbed his hand and tried pulling him towards the patio door.

Tig couldn't help but laugh as Hap let out a warning filled "Kristen."

"Or we can do them in the living room." Kristen rolled her eyes and yanked Tig's arm in a different direction.

"Why couldn't Uncle Tig stay and read me a bedtime story?" Kristen asked Gabby as her mother dried her hair before letting her change into her pajamas.

"Because Uncle Tig had to go to Arizona and you still had to take your bath before bed." Gabby stood up and hung the towel on the hook. "Arms up."

Kristen shimmied into her nightgown and brushed her teeth.

"Is he out?" Gabby peeked into Mathew's room where her father was putting him down.

"Waiting for you." The two adults' switched places and Gabby said goodnight to her son while Hap got Kristen in bed and read her a story.

"Thanks for staying dad. Putting them down is easier with two people."

"Sure thing. How you doing with Tig's visit?" Hap walked his daughter downstairs and they settled on the couch.

"I don't know. Part of me keeps thinking it would be so much easier if he'd just go AWOL again. I'm waiting for the day Kristen or Mathew start asking why he comes all the way from Charming to see them, or why we look alike, or…"

"What will you tell them?" Happy cut off her ramble.

"I don't know. The truth would be confusing depending on how old they are. But if I lie to them now and then they find out later on…"Gabby trailed off at a creek and both adults waited for Kristen to slowly make her way into the room.

"Mommy?"

"Yes sweetie?"

"If daddy calls will you let me talk to him?" Kristen crawled up into her mother's lap. "Or can we call him?"

"You miss him?" Kristen nodded and hugged her raggedy stuffed bunny close to her chest. "Daddy isn't gonna call sweetie, he knows when your bedtime is. He's too busy right now to answer the phone."

"When is daddy coming home?" Kristen tucked herself further into her mother in an attempt not to be sent back to her room.

"The day after tomorrow."

"The day after?"

"Yes." Gabby scratched Kristen's back. "Tomorrow is Tuesday and the day after is Wednesday. But you know what? Tomorrow Becky and Suzie are going to come over for dinner."

"Really?" The little girl suddenly brightened up.

"Yup, you think you can sleep now?"

"Can I stay out here with you and grandpa?" Happy shrugged, he didn't mind his granddaughter wanting to spend time with him, he loved it in fact. It would mean the end of their Tig conversation however.

"How about you go back to bed and listen to daddy tell you a story."

"Okay!" Happy gave Gabby a quizzical look as Kristen scrambled out of her mother's lap. "Will you carry me mommy?"

"Oh sweetie." Gabby started to bend down and pick up her rather tall lanky six year old daughter but Happy stopped her.

"Grandpa will carry you sweetie." Hap swept her up and carried her back to bed followed by Gabby. He watched her duck in her bedroom and come back out with some electronic.

"Okay Kristen." Gabby sat down on the side of the bed and turned on whatever was in her hand. "What story do you want?"

"Little Mermaid, no! The Boy Who Cried Wolf." Kristen hugged her bunny tight to her chest and jumped a bit in bed.

"Alright, under the covers. Here you go." Kristen settled and Gabby kissed her forehead before handing her the gadget and turning off the lights.

"What is that thing?" Hap asked as he pulled the door closed.

"An Ipad, Casper recorded himself reading a bunch of stories on it for the kids. Said he knew there would be nights he couldn't come home and he didn't want them thinking he didn't love them."

"He's a real good dad." Hap mumbled as he followed Gabby down the stairs once more.

"Did you have doubts?" Gabby turned to face him as they reached the landing.

"I've seen many a man in this life freak out and not be able to handle being a father."

Gabby sat back down on the couch and waited for Hap to settle down next to her. "Did you ever struggle with it?"

"I could have done a lot better." He confessed and squeezed her hand.

"Everyone could do better." Gabby reassured him. "I really don't think you realize how much you did for me."

"I always knew I could do better, it wasn't till Kristen that I realized how much more I could have done." Gabby furrowed her brow and egged him on to explain himself. "How happy she is compared to you, how innocent she is. You had seen so much by her age now, been through so much. I never played with you, I never in my life read to you."

"Dad, it wasn't your job to play with me. I never expected you to. The fact that you cared enough to show up meant more to me than any bedtime story could have."

Happy sat silent for a bit. Nothing he could do and nothing she could say would ever alleviate all of his guilt.

"So Tig…" He finally broke the silence.

"What about Tig?" Gabby tried to avoid the previous topic and Happy scoffed.

"You okay with him getting to know the kids?" Gabby simply shrugged. "You know it's up to you. If you don't want him around Casper or I will talk to him.

"He wants to get to know his family. He's 30 years late doing it, but at least he wants too."

"Kristen seems to like him."

"Kristen likes anyone in a cut."

"What did you two talk about in the hall?"

"That he needs to behave himself, and he needs to respect that you have a permanent place here in this family. Told him I'd always choose you first."

Hap smiled slightly and nodded his head. "You two ever talk about what happened?"

"We both know what happened." Gabby cut him off.

"Gabs."

"Not really. Not like an in depth conversation on why. He's sorry, he screwed up."

"You deserve an explanation Gabby."

"I think we've mutually decided to just ignore it." Gabby shrugged again.

"You're more like him then you know." He pulled her closer and she rested her head on his shoulder.

"So?" Gabby egged Becky on as they set the table with an occasional glance out the window to the kids on the swing set.

"Not good. Lawyer said since I didn't put his name on the birth certificate I have to prove paternity." Becky was attempting to get child support from Suzie's father and so far it wasn't going well.

"So the judge ordered a paternity test?"

"No. He has to get one voluntarily. And the lawyer warned me IF I get him to take the test and prove he's the father I might have to give him visitation if I go for child support."

"Which you don't want him to have, and he doesn't want."

"So basically I have to walk up to my ex and beg him to take a test to prove he's the father of a kid he never wanted and walked away from, so he can help pay for her. And in return the only thing I have to offer him is visitation which I know he doesn't want. So no money for Becky!"

"I'm sorry honey." Gabby sighed and looked out the window at the girl she had grown to love over the past year. "What if you brought her with you? Make him acknowledge her, look at her."

"I don't think it would faze him. And I wouldn't want to expose her to him. He had a temper. If he loses it and starts screaming and swearing in front of her…" Becky shook her head and sat down in a kitchen chair.

"I could go with you, take her away if it gets to that point." Gabby offered sitting down next to her.

Becky rested her head in her hand. "I'm done. I can't. I can't deal with this anymore."

Gabby reached over and rubbed Becky's back. "I've got good news." Becky picked her head up slightly. "Boys are coming home tomorrow." Gabby bumped Becky's side. "Tom Tom will be home tomorrow."

Becky glared at Gabby but Gabby only grinned. "Tom Tom and I are not a thing." Becky clarified. "He's with Karen.

"Beck's he's 'with' Karen on and off more than my basements lights." Becky cracked a smile but stifled her laugh. "You two totally have a thing, a cute thing."

"Maybe if I didn't have Suzie. But it's not like that's an option." Becky dropped her head back down in her hands. Gabby had watched Becky and Tom Tom flirt since Gabby had first started bringing Becky around. Becky was smart enough not to fool around with him just for the sake of being with a Son. She always put her daughter first. Ironically Shark was in love with Suzie and was always good to Becky, but he had no romantic feelings for her, he was convinced she was too young for him. Tom Tom seemed to really like Becky but every time Suzie was around he would back off.

"You heard from Charlene?" Becky attempted to change the subject.

"Not since Ryan's fit. I doubt Casper would allow her back in the house without proof the man was dead."

"I can't believe he forbid Charlene from speaking with you." Becky shook his head.

"I can't believe Charlene listened to him. I still wonder if he's hitting her. There's no way a guy like that put's demands on his girlfriend and doesn't hurt her." Gabby shook her head. She had true fears for her best friend's safety but there was nothing she could do when Charlene refused to see or speak to her and she had no proof of abuse.

"So the ex…" Gabby steered the conversation back to the beginning.

"So dinner." Becky stood up and walked back to the stove.

Gabby Vivica and Becky sat on a picnic table waiting for the guys to arrive home. They had been gone nearly a week for Tucson's anniversary party and neither of the old ladies were naive enough to think it had just been a party. Hell if it had been they probably would have been invited down for the celebration.

"Why is she staring at me?" Becky leaned over and asked Gabby about the sweet butt currently pouting because Happy walked away from her when his grandkids arrived on the lot.

Vivica snorted as she tried to hold in a laugh and Gabby smiled wide. "What?" Becky asked as both women started to laugh.

"Looks like somebody got on the sweet butt radar." Gabby teased and Becky looked around the lot wide eyed.

"What the hell did I do to them? I'm not with any of the guys!" She asked panicked as bikes started pulling into the lot.

Vivica and Gabby greeted their old men with long kisses before the kids started running into the crowd.

"Hey Becky." Tom Tom walked up and looked her up and down.

"Welcome back." Becky gave him a shy smile.

"You look better every time I see you girl." Tom Tom stepped closer and licked his lips.

"Think you've been on the road to long." Becky teased.

"Mommy look what Casper got me!" Suzie ran up with a stuffed animal and showed it to her mother.

Becky watched Tom Tom walk away as she knelt down to her daughter. "That's really neat, did you thank him?"

"Yes, he got them for Kristen and Mathew too!" Becky smiled at her daughter and picked her up. She glanced in the direction Tom Tom had gone and saw Happy say something to him as he looked at Becky. Tom Tom glanced at her, shrugged his shoulders, and held an arm out to the sweet butt from earlier.

"Hey Becks!" Shark called to her as he jogged over.

"Hey Shark." Becky smiled at him.

"Suzie come here baby girl." Shark reached out and took the little girl out of her mother's arms. "You miss me Suzie?" He asked after giving her a big wet kiss on the cheek.

"Yes." She answered and threw her arms around his neck.

Shark automatically carried the girl into the clubhouse not bothering to ask for permission. "Did I miss anything fun?" He asked the young girl as they got inside.

"No, well, Auntie Gabby picked me up from daycare yesterday and we all went to a waterpark. And then we came home and had tacos."

"Well that sounds like fun." Shark grabbed a juice box and a beer and sat on a barstool with Suzie in his lap.

"It was…" Suzie trailed off and drank from her juice box.

"Did something happen baby girl?" Shark grew concerned and took the juice box away.

"No, the water park was fun." Suzie hugged her new stuffed animal close. "Uncle Casper brought me home a cat. He got Kristen a new bunny and he got Mathew a bear."

Shark smirked and ran a finger down Suzie's cheek. "Suzie baby, you didn't answer my question."

"Mommy was fighting with someone on the phone. And yesterday she was crying after she put me to bed." Suzie started to play with her new cat and Shark handed her back her juice box.

Tom Tom who had been eavesdropping shifted the sweet butt off his lap and stood up to catch Shark's eye. Shark saw him and slowly nodded his head a few times. They both looked at the clubhouse door as it opened and the rest of the brothers came piling in followed by the three women.

"There's my sweet girl." Becky smiled and picked her daughter up out of Shark's lap.

"Uncle Shark gave me a juice box mommy."

"Uncle Shark loves to give you sugar, doesn't he." Becky teased Shark and he rolled his eyes in jest.

"You like your surprise baby girl?" Casper asked Suzie.

"I love her!" Suzie hugged her stuffed cat closer.

"You give her a name yet?" He asked.

Suzie thought hard for a second and looked at the cat. "Can I name her angel?"

"You can name her whatever you want baby, she's yours."

"Thank you Casper." Becky thanked her friend's husband. "You want me to take the kids for the night?" She offered.

"No been looking forward to putting these rascals to bed." Casper adjusted Mathew who was sitting on his hip.

"Alright then, I'm gonna get going." Gabby leaned in and kissed her on the cheek.

"Thanks for coming out." Since Becky wasn't technically with any of the patches she wasn't required or expected at any club event. But she and Suzie had become a fixture around the clubhouse and if she didn't show up for a while more than just Tom Tom and Shark would start asking about her.

Shark and Tom Tom waited until the door shut behind Becky to practically pounce on Gabby.

"What happened to Becky?" Tom Tom got out before Shark.

"Nothing, why?" Gabby gave him a weird look as she headed to the kitchen to get her kids milk.

"Suzie said she was fighting with someone on the phone." Tom Tom followed her; Casper looked to Shark for an explanation.

"Said she was crying too." Shark added, more focused on getting answers than giving them.

"Guy's, Becky's personal life is Becky's personal life." Gabby handed Casper a Sippy cup for Mathew and moved around the crowd of three men now following her to find Kristen.

"Love, what personal life?" Casper was now confused and slightly worried about the woman he now considered a friend if not a near sister.

"I'm not doing this Casper. You want answers call Becky." She walked across the room to where Kristen was showing Vin pictures she had painted in school.

"Sweetie why don't you save those for later." She tried to save Vin but he waved her off. Gabby shrugged to herself and set milk down for her daughter.

She walked back to her husband and Mathew reached out to her so she took him. "What is he doing?" Gabby saw Shark scrolling through the contacts on his phone. "Shark do not call her!"

"Then tell me what the hell is going on." Shark demanded.

Chris heard Shark yelling and came over to the group. "What's going on?"

"Can you take him?" Casper asked and pulled Mathew out of Gabby's arms.

"Yeah, come here Matt." Chris took the boy and walked over to Vin who was watching the exchange.

"What's going on Gabby?" Casper demanded. Gabby hadn't heard that tone of voice out of her husband since he nearly shot Ryan for cutting Charlene off from them. The women may be Gabby's friends' but Casper considered them both like sisters, and his kids loved them both like blood.

Gabby sighed. "Becky talked to a lawyer about Scott."

"Who the hell is Scott?" Tom Tom was instantly ready to go after the man.

"Suzie's dead beat dad." Casper filled in with a quick glance. If he hadn't been so concerned he would have found Tom Tom's interest amusing.

"She's trying to get child support…" Shark realized.

"He has to voluntarily take a paternity test for her to get anything. And if he does he's allowed to ask for visitation." Gabby filled in. She saw Shark holding in a rant and held a hand up. "He doesn't want to see her. But he certainly isn't gonna pay for her willingly either. Becky's just stressed. The bills are coming in from Suzie getting her tonsils out and Becky can't pay."

Casper let out a huge sigh and ran a hand threw his hair.

"She found him? Where is he? Scott?" Tom Tom asked. Shark glanced at him and saw the intent in his eyes.

Gabby looked at all three men. "This is Becky's issue. She wants to handle it on her own. When she asks me for help I'll tell you that his name is Scott Harriman and he's a lieutenant in the Navy and that he's in San Diego right now on the USS Halsey." She knew she was probably crossing a line but she was already unable to help her oldest best friend, she wasn't gonna not help her newest if she had the resources.

"Casper?" Tom Tom immediately looked at his brother.

"On it." He answered already playing with his smart phone.

"We're gonna need the van." Shark threw in as he followed Tom Tom to the door.

Casper kissed his wife's cheek and followed the other two men.

"Where the hell are they going?" Chris walked back over with Mathew watching three of his men walk out without orders or instructions.

"San Diego." Gabby offered but as she turned around and looked at Chris she sighed. "Becky tracked down her ex. Your boys don't like dead beat dads." She shrugged and took Mathew back.

"Not a fan of them myself." Chris whistled to Happy and Lenard and nodded his head. Gabby watched three more men walk out of the clubhouse and shook her head sitting down with Kristen and Vin.
