Thanks so much for the reviews!

Again i do not own nothing to do with Sons Of Anarchy.

Chapter 4

''Hey hap, Jesus you look like shit!.'' Gemma took a draw of her ciggarette while looking him up and down,. ''You ok hun?''

Happy sat down in the chair opposite Gemma. Gemma was confused by his presence, Happy didnt do small talk.

''Yeah am good.'' he paused, giving Gemma a quick glance. ''Bet your glad Avas here?''

''Yeah course, missed her its great to have her home.''

''Why did she leave?''

''Luann thought it was best, she was struggling with Otto being inside and Ava, well she had a temper just her Daddys.'' Gemma eyes Happy suspiciously, ''Why do you ask?''

''I just find it strange that SAMCRO allowed it, allowed her to be sent away. Surely the safest place for her was here surrounded by family, I just dont get it.''

''It was her mothers decision, doesnt mean the club liked it but we had to respect Luanns decision, but shes here now and thats all that matters.''

''Yeah, so hey anything you need me for today? If not im gonna go visit my Mom.'' He stood up and stretched out cracking his knuckles.

''Nah we are good here, you go visit.''

Happy kissed Gemma on the cheek before leaving the office. He looked over at the bench, Ava was nowhere to be seen, he felt sad. Seeing her made him 'Happy''Who'd of thought it. He got onto his bike, clasped on his helmet and as soon as he fired up the engine he felt all his tensions melt away.

Ava loved riding with Ope, it was maybe something to do with his stature but she felt so safe on the bike with him. Ava had forgtton how much she missed being on a bike. Otto used to take her out all the time. There was just something freeing about it.

They had spent the day together, they went to the cemetry and visited Donna and Luanns graves, as much as it was emotional it was nice. Opie was a good companion, he new when to speak, when to stay quiet and when to hug. Later on in the day they went for lunch. Ava saw her opportunity to quiz her friend about Happy.

'' So Ope, whats the deal with that Happy guy? I dont remember him?''

''Nah you wouldnt, he came from Tacoma, he was NOMAD for a while too, hes only recently patched in to SAMCRO but hes been loyal and a great asset to club for years now.''

''Cool, he seems intense, does he have family here? Like is that why he patched over?''

''Just his Mom but shes not too well, cancer i think. Yeah he is but hes someone you want around when shit gets tough you know.''

Ava and Ope spent the rest of the afternoon talking about nothing in particular, Ava found it highly amusing when two young ladies approached Ope, trying and failing greatly to flirt with him, causing Opie some level of embarrasment. However she had to congratulate him on is tactfullness at letting them down gently. Opie dropped Ava off at the clubhouse just as night began to fall. Once in her dorm, Ava realised how tired she was, she fell back on her bed and fell asleep almost instantly.

The next few weeks passed quickly. Ava was spending most of her time at the garage helping Gemma out with paperwork. This was also a bonus as Ava was able to see Happy on a daily basis. Ava was soon getting restless, staying at the clubhouse then working at the garage, she needed a change of scenery. It was time she got her own place.

'''Jax, can i talk to you for minute?''

Jackson was currently under some car he was fixing and Ava was talking to his feet.

''Sure darlin, whats up?'' He slid out from under the car, and sat up.

''Well, ive been thinking, Ive been in charming for nearly a month now, nothings happend, so i was thinking its time to get my own place. I can't stay at the clubhouse, Tig, strange things happen in his dorm, the walls are thin, Its kinda disturbing.''

Jax laughed and shook his head,'' i see your point Ava, ha Tig is one freaky guy. You spoke to Gemma bout it?''

''no, not yet.''

''well i dont see a problem with it, but its gonna be up to Clay in the end.''

''Great, thanks Jax, I swear to god though, if hear anymore strange noises coming from tragers room, Im goona cut his fucking dick off.''

''Hed probably like that.'' Jax went to back under the car, ''Oh hey Ava, Bobbys going up to see Otto this afternoon, hopefully Otto will listen to him.''

''Oh wow, i hope so, thanks.'' Ava walked off back to clubhouse feeling excited but nervous. If her Dad did agree to see her, what would she say to him, she hadnt seen him for 14 years, she would be a stranger to him, and him to her.
