JJ-Jefferu: So I'm seeing no one wants to help me out and I'm cool with it. I'll just continue to post and write without a care. I would say sorry for the delay but I never gave a date of releasing this chapter and I had to wait to post it. I got my sister, Tyl3rrrrr to watch Sons of Anarchy and then to she started reading my story and to prevent spoiling anything I put off uploading it.

Anyway, I guess I'll still give everyone until I post the next chapter for the Tig O.C but I'm not seeing anyone who is reviewing that really cares about it so why should I?

Currently I'm watching the season finale of SOA season one with my twin. Tig and Jax fighting. (:

Here's the usual stuff that I'm obligated to put:

~+Disclaimer: I do not own SOA, it belongs to Kurt Sutter and shown on FX. I however own the plotline and the characters that you are not familiar with. +~

Also thanks to TrappedinaPhoto for proofing it.

Please Enjoy this installment of Rewind.


Chapter 9: The Sleep of Babies.

"Abel's coming home," Alana sang as her and Ariel were moving about Jax's living room helping Gemma set up for the baby's welcome home party. Ariel laughed at her cousin's antics. The front door opened and in walked Wendy, Jax's ex, the bitch who Ariel hated. Normally Ariel wasn't the kind to hate the ex in a break up but with Wendy it was different; the crank whore, er, ex-crank whore, had almost cost her godson his life. Ariel's good mood instantly changed. She was no longer laughing at Alana's song, but frowning as the dirty blonde set her bag on one of the two couches. She still couldn't understand why Jax would let her back into his house or why he would defend her at every turn. Ariel guessed that Jax just had a very big heart. Alana was on Gemma's side with the whole 'Wendy is better for Jax than the doctor'. Ariel couldn't understand it, sure 'Lana wasn't there to witness how heartbroken Jax was when Tara left, but how a crank whore was better for Jax when she almost cost Abel his life. Alana and Wendy greeted and hugged each other as if old friends. Ariel rolled her eyes as they started to discuss something, she didn't care to listen in on their conversation.

"Ariel, what do you think?" Gemma asked, breaking the brunette from her thoughts about the woman who birthed her godson.

"What? I wasn't paying attention." Ariel replied looking at her surrogate mother.

"Asked where you thought this banner should go," Gemma said looking at the teen, Ariel shrugged.

"I have never been good with that shite, Gemma. Last time you listened to where I suggested half the club ran smack into it and Chibs wasn't very happy." Ariel told her. Luckily her phone went off before Gemma or someone said something. Ariel didn't bother looking at the Caller ID and just answered it. "Hello,"

"Hey babe," Happy's voice sounds from the other end of the line. A smile over took Ariel's face.

"How are things?" Though this wasn't the first time since he left that they spoke it still brought a smile to the brunette teens face.

"Visiting my mom, care to explain to me why the intern looked scared as shit?" Happy asked.

"What did you say to him?"

"Asked if mom got moved yet and if he recalled you stopping by the other day. He quickly gave me the room and bolted." When Happy spoke you could hear the amusement in his voice.

"Well you should ask your mom. She prevented anything from happening," Ariel said walking away from the three females and out of Jax's front door. "When will you be back then?" Ariel asked as she closed the door behind her. If Happy was in Bakersfield visiting his mom, he should be back sometime today.

"I'll be back tonight. I'm going to spend some time with my mom. I'll come by and see you then." Happy explains to her.

"I'd hope you'll come by and see me, Hap. My ass has been keeping your bed warm; though you might wanna call first. Cause depending on the time I might be at Jax's. "Ariel explains, taking out a cigarette from her pack of Marlboro lights and sticking it in her mouth lighting it up then sitting on Jax's porch steps.

"Why are you going to be at Jax's?"

"His kid is getting out of the hospital today, and you know how Gemma is. She is throwing him a coming home party, though he will never remember it. Despite the multiple photographs he will be shown one day. Gemma will have my ass if I am not here when Jax brings him through the doors of the house. I can always duck out early." Ariel tells him.

"How is the kid?" Happy asks.

"He is a fighter. How about you come pick me up from Jax's when you get into town, because I'll more than likely be here."

"Sure, I'll tell mom you said hi."

"Thanks," Ariel smiles and the sounds of the door opening causes her to look back at the house. Alana was stepping out the door. "I gotta go Hap, 'Lana and I have to go pick up the cake and some other crap for the party." Ariel tells him, handing her half smoked cigarette to her cousin. Alana takes it and takes a puff.

"I'll see you when you get back."

"Bye Hap," Ariel hangs up and sighs.

"Ready to go?" Alana asks showing Ariel her bag and holding it out to her. Standing up Ariel nods and takes the bag before heading to Alana's Jeep.

"Yeah, let's go," the club had some business to attend to so Tig was not hovering around Ariel, which was just fine with the teen. She was honestly fed up with Tig babysitting her, sure she knew they meant well but it was working on her last nerve. As Ariel got into the passenger seat and Alana started the Jeep, pulling out of Jax's driveway. "So you're alright with ma trying to push Tara out of the picture and have Wendy back in it?" Ariel spoke, her curiosity had finally won the internally battle she was having.

"I think despite her drug history, Wendy deserves a chance with her kid. Jax wasn't exactly supportive of the whole pregnancy thing to begin with. He could have done more." Alana said as they stopped at a stop light.

"You can't be serious Alana." Ariel said in disbelief.

"But I am. She deserves to know her son," Alana says as the light turns green.

"I don't disagree that she deserves a chance to know Abel, but that doesn't give her the right to waltz back into Jax's life and try to break him and Tara up. Despite how much Gemma doesn't like the doctor." Ariel argued.

"Ultimately it's not our choice, Air." Alana says glancing at her older cousin. "It is Jax's choice."

~!~

Ariel was sitting on the floor of Jax's living room playing a game with Ellie and Kenny. She was waiting for a chance to hold her godson and for Happy to call her and let her know he was back. But she was keeping herself fairly entertained. She loved Opie's kids and Donna, who she hadn't seen much of since she was involved with the club and Donna wasn't pro-club until just recently. Ariel loved Ellie and Kenny, though she hadn't known Kenny until she came back to Charming seeing as he was born right after she left, and was happy to spend time with the duo.

"Ariel," Jax called. Ariel looked up from the game she was losing at, to Kenny, and up at Jax who was standing at her side holding Abel.

"Yo," Ariel called up to him.

"Wanna hold your godson?" Jax motions to Abel, who was cooing happily at all the attention he was receiving.

"Of course," Ariel said standing up and taking Abel from Jax. "Hey little guy, I'm you're aunty Ariel. Let me tell you something; you're going to be spoiled. All these people here will be looking out for you and making sure you are taken care of you. Plus you'll always have family watching your back." Ariel tells the baby, smiling down at him. "'sides between you and me," Ariel whispers so only Abel could hear. "I'll always be here, protecting you."

Happy entered Jax's house quietly and unnoticed by majority of the participants. He had been in Charming for about twenty minutes. Happy decided that he would grab a shower, check if Ariel was at the clubhouse and then if not he would retrieve her from Jax's house: After avoiding the hang arounds, showering and the prospect confirming that Ariel was at Jax's; having rode with Opie. Happy took off to the V.P's house. When he walked in the door the only person to notice him had been Juice, so after they exchanged greetings Happy began to look for his girl. It took him about three second to find Ariel. She was standing next to Jax, wearing a pair of pants and a long sleeved shirt holding something. As Ariel started to walk away from Jax and was coming closer to him, Happy could make out a baby in her arms. She looked so content and had her whole attention focused on the baby boy in her arms, that she was unaware of her surroundings. As she went to walk past him, he grabbed her and pulled her into the kitchen.

Ariel gasped as someone grabbed her, pulled her into the kitchen, and against their body. She looked up and saw it was just Happy and calmed down. Ariel smiled up at him and noticed a gleam in his eye that she had never seen before, from him, and she couldn't identify it. Ariel was actually surprised to see Happy there. She figured that he would call, not just show up. She noticed that he smelled strongly of Old Spice body wash, which lead Ariel to believe that he showered within the last ten minutes.

"Hey," Ariel said. "When'd you get here? Thought you were going to call first?" Happy shrugged and pulled Ariel flat against his chest, wrapping his arms around her stomach and resting them on her hips.

"Thought I'd let you enjoy spending time with your godson and surprise you." Happy told her planting a kiss on her exposed neck.

"That was nice of you. You want to get out of here? I'm pretty tired and playing nice with the mommy has drained me." Ariel asks leaning back onto Happy and looking up at him.

"Yeah. Return the kid to his dad and I'll meet you outside."

~!~

By the time the two got back to the clubhouse, Ariel was barely awake. She had after all spent the whole day running around and insuring that everything was set for Abel's home coming. That and being nice to the woman who birthed her godson was emotionally draining. As Happy pulled into his spot and killed the engine, Ariel yawned and slowly got off his bike. She swayed and nearly fell over but Happy grabbed her arm to steady her.

"Guess I'm more tired than I thought," Ariel mumbled as Happy pulled her to him and started walking to the clubhouse with her. The hang arounds were glaring at the sleepy teen that had the attention of the clubs killer.

"Will you be okay sitting at the bar for a few minutes? I need to call Jax back, he has been blowing up my phone," Happy asked as he lead Ariel to a bar stool. Ariel nodded and laid her head down on the bar.

"Yeah, I'll be fine." Ariel mumbled. A few seconds after she heard Happy leave, she heard the sounds of someone sitting down next to her.

"Ya know, he will grow tired of you in a week tops," a preppy voice said where someone just sat down. Ariel groggily lifted her head to look at whoever was talking to her. Sitting on the seat next to Ariel was Brooke, one of the biggest sluts of the croweaters, which was saying something. She had D-cup breasts that she likes to show off, wore clothes that barely fit, and had the fakest blonde hair imaginable. Ariel raised a brow, looking at her with disinterest.

"Um..." was all Ariel could manage. She had no idea what Brooke was going on about. "What?" She asked confused, exhaustion always left her stupefied.

"Don't act all innocent with me." Brooke said in a snide way. "The way you and Happy just walked in here. I am telling you to back off. He's mine." Brooke snapped. The way Brooke was talking to her woke Ariel up a bit.

"Excuse me?" Ariel said offended. "Are you insinuating that I am a croweater?" Ariel asked in disbelief. It was common knowledge that Ariel was not only a member's sister, but practically Gemma's daughter and Jax's best friend. Brooke gave her a once over and shrugged.

"Not the cutest newbie I've ever seen but yeah." Brooke smirked at the look of disgust that crossed Ariel's face.

"And what makes you think I am?"

"You've only been here for about four, maybe five months, I've never seen you before then, and you're always with Tig, Hap, Jax, or Chibs." Brooke said.

"Let's get something straight, whore, Chibs is my brother, Jax is my best friend and his mom practically raised me, Tig is like my brother, and whatever Happy and I are it's none of your business." Ariel snaps at the fake blonde getting to her feet. Brooke looked offended and then smirked.

"That was pretty good hunny, I wonder how long it took you to come up with that. But like I said, stay away from Happy, he is mine." Brooke said. Before Ariel could retort, Happy stepped between them.

"You best learn your place," Happy spoke to Brooke.

"I was just informing the newbie of how things work." Brooke tried to defend.

"What newbie? All I see is a member's sister and my girl getting harassed by some slut." Happy says. Brooke's eyes widen and she gasps.

"I thought she was," Brooke trailed off unable to say anything then turn away walking off. Happy then turned to Ariel, a grim expression on his face.

"What is it Hap?" Ariel asked, not liking the look on his face.

"You might want to sit down first," Happy says and guides Ariel back onto the bar stool. "Jax was calling me because you left your phone at his house, along with your bag, but that's not all he wanted."

"What happened?" Ariel asks. She was starting to get afraid. "Is Alana ok?"

"Alana is fine; it has to do with Donna." Happy tells her and steps between her legs.

"Then what is it. Just tell me," Ariel nearly shouts.

"She was killed right after she and Opie left Jax's. They think it was retaliation for a deal went wrong earlier today. Opie's truck was seen there." Ariel gasps and tears start to form in her eye.

"No," Ariel whispers in disbelief. "Not Donna," and like a damn had burst Ariel leans forward onto Happy's chest and begins crying. He wraps his hands around her and pulls her to him. After a few minutes of her crying on him; Happy picks up Ariel and starts to his room. He didn't like seeing her like this; in the span of their four months of knowing each other this was the second time he had seen her look so helpless. Opening his door was a bit of a struggle but Happy managed it and then kicked it close once they were inside. He sat Ariel on his bed and began to strip himself down for bed. When Happy was down to his boxer he went over to Ariel. Happy bent down and untied her shoes then took them off. After he had her shoes off, he worked on her pants. As he was pulling her pants off her, Ariel put her hands on his shoulders. Happy paused and looked up at her.

"What, I'll give you something to sleep in. I'm not going to take advantage of you." Happy said to her. Ariel shook her head.

"I want to. I need something to take my mind off of things." Ariel whispered. Happy was opening his mouth to object but Ariel continued. "Please Hap. I just want to feel you. It's hardly taking advantage of me, when I want it."

Happy stared at Ariel. He didn't want their first time to be because of grief. But the pleading look accompanied by the scared look made him reconsider. It wasn't the most ideal setting for the two's first time together, but he could see it was what she needed. What was making this hard on Happy was not just that this was their first time but it was Ariel's first time. Happy sighed and continued pulling off Ariel's pants not saying a word. When he got to her shirt, he took his time removing it, his hands ghosting over her heated flesh. Once Ariel was left in her matching bra and panties, Happy gently picks up her chin and makes her look him in his eyes, as blue meets brown Happy speaks.

"Are you sure about this? Is it what you really want? And now of all times," Happy asks watching her face.

Ariel was silent for a few minutes, just staring into Happy's brown eyes, thinking about what she was just asking. She knew this wasn't the best time for them to have sex, let alone for her first time, but she had wanted this to happen today. They had spent over a month developing their relationship and Ariel felt that she was ready. Then Happy dropping the bombshell on her about Donna should have discouraged her from it and to just have Happy beside her, lessening the pain should have been enough. But for some reason it didn't. It made her want to feel Happy in all aspects. She felt this physical need for his body against her.

"Yes Happy, I am positive." Ariel says putting her hands on either side of his face. "I know," Ariel pauses, trying to figure out how to phrase what she was about to confess. "Now, isn't exactly the ideal time? With you dropping Donna's death on me, though it just happened, but I," Ariel stops again, trying to work up the courage to actually tell Happy that she had wanted them to take the next step tonight. "I wanted this, for us to," Ariel blushes trying to say it out loud. "Take the next step in our relationship tonight." By the time Ariel finally got it out her face felt extremely hot and she dropped her hands from his face and placed them on his shoulders.

Happy watched as Ariel's face turned red, a smirk slowly spread across his face. He found it cute, how flustered she got confessing to him and showed just how innocent* she was. As he stared at her, listening to how she struggled to say she wanted to have sex just showed him that she was indeed a virgin. Not that he doubted she was, but watching her struggle to voice her thoughts made him chuckle a bit.

Ariel let out a huff and looked away from him, feeling more embarrassed because he laughed at her. She was confident that they should, but voicing it was harder for her. She was in essence still innocent and had only joked around about her virginity as well as other sexual gestures in the past. But it was hard for her to tell Happy, when she knew he was well versed when it came to sex (he was not only older than her but she knew a deal about it from their conversations and lingering hang rounds who liked to boast).

"Look at me, Ariel." Happy said, Ariel shook her head; he grabbed her face and turned it back to him. "I am not laughing at you. I just found it really cute how flustered that made you." Happy explains. Ariel pouts.

"Well I am a virgin, not that you didn't know. And I have a hard time actually talking about it in a serious manner. It makes me uncomfortable. Not that it does you," Ariel said letting the end trail off. She knew he would understand her meaning.

"Then this will make it less uncomfortable," Happy told her before his lips descended onto hers.


JJ-Jefferu: So according to TrappedinaPhoto, who I agree with, helped me decide if I was going to actually write out the sex scene between Happy and Ariel in this chapter. When I asked her, since she's read everything, she told me that this story seemed too innocent to go into detail about their sexual performance. I was inclined to agree, though later I could change my mind (when it comes up again, because think about it this is after a Sons of Anarchy story, and much more it's a Happy one so it's bound to come up again, multiple times).

Again if you are interested in having you character put in my story and paired with Tig or Kozik read the previous chapters opening author notes for information.

I hope you enjoy this chapter and I'll update next week, maybe. I make no promises.
