"Hap. Good thing you're back bro." Jax greeted him as he and Perry walked toward the clubhouse later that afternoon. "We got problems." Jax continued.

"What's goin' on?" Happy asked.

"New bunch of Russians showed up in town."

"Shit." Happy said casting a sideways glance at Perry before following Jax inside.

"Church now." Clay barked as soon as he saw the Tacoma Killer enter the clubhouse behind his step son.

Happy placed a kiss against the top of Perry's head. "I'll catch up with you later babe." He murmured before following his brother's to the huge double doors of their chapel.

Perry sighed watching him go as Gemma, who'd been standing behind Clay massaging his shoulders crossed the room toward her.

"You and Hap sort things out?" She asked.

"Yeah. I think so. He's a little hard to figure out sometimes."

"It's not gonna be easy for either of you for a while." Gemma said.

"I know. What's going on around here?"

"Something about a new threat in town."

Perry sighed. "Jax said more Russians. I suppose I'm not allowed to go home am I?"

"I'd stick around until they're done in there if I were you."

Perry nodded.

"C'mon. Let's go grab some coffee." Gemma said leading the way to the kitchen.

"Perry!" Happy barked making her nearly jump out of her skin, a short time later when they emerged from the chapel.

"Christ Hap. What?" She answered him.

"Your married name is Romanov right?"

"Yes." She answered perplexed.

"What do you know about a guy called Viktor Romanov?" He asked and watched as the color drained from her face. "Who is he Perry?" He pressed again.

"My father in law, Nikolai's father and head of the Moscow branch of Russian mafia."

"Fuck. You really are their fuckin' Princess aren't ya?"

"I should have seen this coming." Perry muttered.

"Why Perry? Why should you have seen this coming."

"Jesus Christ Happy. You wipe out the entire American branch of their brotherhood including their head and his protégé who just happens to be the Russian heads son. They're going to be pissed and come to investigate."

"Is he gonna come after you?" Happy addressed Perry.

Perry nodded, "More than likely. He'll want answers about Nikolai."

"I don't like this Perry." Happy growled with growing angst.

"You shouldn't. If you thought my father was dangerous you've got another thing coming. Where my father was cunning and arrogant, Viktor is ruthless and hell bent on getting to the bottom things. He won't hesitate to kill anyone who gets in his way."

"You're not going anywhere without a tail. If a tail isn't available, you're here." He said gruffly his agitation continuing to rise.

"I want my mom protected too." Perry said.

Happy nodded.

"We can organize that Perry but we're going to need you to tell us everything you know about this Viktor." Clay said.

"There's not really much more that I can tell you except that for him to leave Russia then this is a big deal. The only time he has ever stepped foot on American soil was for my wedding to Nikolai because I refused to get married in Russia. Oh and as far as I'm aware he doesn't speak any English."

"We can't waste any more time discussing this. We have to go into lockdown." Jax said.

"Yes we do." Clay agreed without hesitation. "Do what you need to, to get everyone in."

Everyone pulled out phones or headed out to their bikes. All except Happy who already had everyone he needed right there.

"Hap what about my mom?" Perry asked.

"What about 'er?" he said as he sat on one of the couches.

"Won't she need to be here too?" she asked.

"We've got enough guys that one of them can stay at your house with her."

"Or maybe you and I could stay with her?"

"I have to be here. And you're not leaving my side." He almost growled at her.

"Okay." She sighed. "I guess I'll call her to tell her." She said starting across the clubhouse to where her bag was.

"Perry?" Happy called her back. "Does Viktor Romanov know where you live?"

"I don't think so but it would be easy for him to look it up."

Happy sighed and stood up. "Come with me." He said as he headed toward the door.

Perry scuttled to follow him.

"Phil!" Happy barked at the prospect who was sitting outside. "You're coming with us."

"Oh um okay. Where to?"

"Lodi. Just follow." Happy yelled back already halfway to his bike. "Perry hurry up." He snapped, his long strides making him faster than her.

He handed her the spare helmet and she wasted no time climbing on behind him. She wasn't sure whether his grumpiness could be attributed to the new Russian situation or if he was angry at her situation again.

He waited for Phil to be astride his bike also before he pulled out of the lot.

~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~

"Mama?" Perry called entering her house, Happy and Phil behind her. "Mama? Are you here?" Perry swallowed growing anxious as she looked from room to room and couldn't find her mother.

"Mama?" She called again her anxiousness reaching her voice now as her accent crept in.

"Perina?" Came her voice from further down the hallway as the back door swung shut.

"Oh thank god Mama. I thought something happened to you." Perry said embracing her mother who emerged from the hallway, a basket of laundry in her arms.

"Heavens dear girl. I am fine. I was hanging laundry." She said, half in English dn half in Russian and immediately seeing her daughter's anxiousness.

Perry sighed. "I'm glad Mama. Come sit in the kitchen there's something we need to tell you."

"It is good to see you two together again." She commented on seeing Happy. "You two have sorted things?" She asked.

"Sort of Mama." Perry answered. "Please sit. This is important."

"Okay. You are worrying me Perina." She said as she took a seat at the table in Perry's kitchen.

Perry saw Happy scowl out of the corner of her eye, hearing her mother call her that.

"Mama. This is Phil. Happy and I want him to stay here with you for a while."

"And why is that?" She asked.

"There's some dangerous people in town Mama. You know that in rescuing me Batya and Nikolai were killed right?"

"Yes I was made aware of that."

"Well, Viktor Romanov, Nikolai's father is in town."

"Oh dear lord!" Alexandra Petrovski exclaimed, her eyes wide.

"Look we don't know what he wants. Probly just answers." Happy said. "But Perry said he's dangerous."

"He is a very dangerous man." Alexandra said seriously.

Happy nodded. "Because of that anyone with any ties to us or Perry needs to go into what we call lockdown. So Phil will stay here with you and anywhere that you go he follows. Do you understand?" Happy explained perhaps slower than he needed to but he didn't want any misunderstanding due to the language barrier.

Alexandra nodded. "Yes I understand. And what of my girl. It will be she he is interested in finding."

"She'll be with me at our clubhouse. It's the safest place for her."

Alexandra nodded and reached across the table for her daughter's hands.

"You be very careful Perina. Do everything that Happy tells you to." She said firmly and seriously in Russian.

Perry nodded solemnly. "I will Mama."

"We have to go now but you will be safe here so long as Phil's here okay."

"Yes. Yes, I trust you." Alexandra said as she rose to see them out.

"Phil. He turns up here you call me right away." Happy ordered.

Phil nodded as Happy stalked past him back toward his bike.

"Hap, can you please just chill?" Perry asked as he passed her helmet to her.

"I will when I know you're safe." He said throwing his leg over his bike and waiting for her to do the same.

She climbed on behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist. She knew that his silence and growing angst was stemming from the growing danger that surrounded her.

~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~

It was dusk when they returned to the lot that had become a growing hive of activity with the lockdown. She ran her hands seductively over his shoulders before getting off. He pulled her to him and kissed her lips hard. She ran her hand softly down the back of his neck. He responded by pressing his hand harder into her back almost bruisingly so. She could feel his angst coming off him waves as he deepened their kiss. She knew they'd drawn the attention of near everybody outside on the lot.

"Can we continue this inside?" She asked breathily as she pulled her lips away.

"Yeah." He said dropping his arm from her waist and getting off his bike. He grabbed her hand and led her to the clubhouse not pausing to greet his brothers who looked on. She followed behind knowing that given his current mood the sex they were about to have would be rough.

He opened his dorm room door and pulled her through it before slamming it shut. He grabbed her roughly and pushed her toward the bed bending her over it. He pulled her jeans and panties roughly down her hips. His thumb pressed bruisingly into the small of her back as he gripped her hip hard with one hand while unbuckling his belt with the other. She braced herself as he ran his hand soothingly across the spot he'd just bruised her. He pushed her onto the bed forcing her onto all fours. He pressed her face into the mattress and grabbed and handful of hair and turned her head sideways to look at her as his other hand gripped her ass, his thumb running delicately between her cheeks across her other hole. He dipped two fingers up and into her, still running his thumb across her ass as it began to open up to him. She bit her lip and gasped at how good it felt as his fingers dipped in and out of her.

"Hap." She murmured with trepidation as she felt him begin to run his cock between her cheeks, "I haven't ever …" She gasped.

"Just relax Perry." He said hearing the fear in her voice. He dipped his fingers out of her and caressed them over her clit and heard her gasp as he slid his finger into the tightness of her back passage. He slid it back out as he continued to finger her and held tight to her right hip as he pressed his head into her. She screamed in pain at first. He allowed her a moment to adjust to the intrusion before drawing gently in and out pressing a little deeper each time. Her screams softened from those of pain to those of immense pleasure.

"Fuck Happy." She gasped, her voice barely audible, as she rampaged closer to a climax more electrifying than she'd ever felt before.

"You're so god damn wet." He rasped as he continued fingering her.

The groans of his release went unheard to her ears as they were filled by the screams of her own. She collapsed to the bed as soon as he slid from her and released his hold on her hip. She knew that his need to fuck her anally had come from the anguish and anger that was seething inside of him but she'd be damned if she hadn't enjoyed it a whole lot more than she thought she would have when he'd first started out.

"Holy hell that was fucking incredible." She rasped breathily her Russian accent thicker than he'd ever heard it. Christ it almost had him wanting to roll her over and fuck her again but he doubted she'd be able to handle that, judging by how motionless she still was in ecstasy or composure; he wasn't sure which.

By the time she'd composed herself enough to roll to her side he had his jeans done up and was heading to the door.

"Hap." She called him back. "What the fuck?" She asked of his fuck and run attempt.

"I got shit to do Perry." He rasped.

"I'm not some fucking croweater you can just fuck and leave."

"No you're right. You're not. You're supposedly my old lady who's pregnant with another man's kid."

She looked at him in horror as she sat up. "Hap. If it bothers you that much then fucking tell me the truth when we talk about it rather than throwing it back at me in anger after sex." She growled at him.

"Look when I fuck you it just makes me angry that he did that to you." He tried to reason.

"Then don't fuck me." She spat back at him.

"I'll do what I like." He growled.

"No you won't. If you're going to continue being such an ass, you won't fuck me!" She growled her voice rising as she tried to keep her accent from it.

He glowered at her before wrenching the door open and stepping through it and slamming it behind himself again.

Perry hugged her knees to her chest. She knew it was the darker side of him that was struggling to cope with the pregnancy. She knew he was on a razor edge of needing to protect her and wanting her as far away as possible so he didn't have to face it. She bit her lip and blinked back the tears at the corners of her eyes. She loved him. When he was a complete ass like that she didn't know why but she still loved him. "Jesus Crist Happy Lowman." She muttered to herself, getting up from the bed to go shower. "This baby had better be yours."

~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~

"Tara?" Perry asked when she saw the doctor come into the clubroom from the direction of the dorms having just put the boys to bed. "Have you got a minute?"

"Sure Perry. I'm not going anywhere since this place is on lockdown. What's up?"

"You said that Happy and I would have to wait until the baby is born to test paternity. But is there another way? He isn't dealing too well with this not knowing if it's his baby or not. There are ways to test pre delivery right?"

"Well yes, there are but most procedures are incredibly invasive and do carry risk of miscarriage. I've never recommended them to any of my patients for that reason."

Perry nodded. "I'm beginning to lean towards anything to find out Tara. He's being a complete ass. I mean of course the latest club stuff doesn't help but we need to find out sooner rather than later whose baby it is."

"I understand that. There are newer less invasive tests available but they are expensive and there aren't many places that offer them. I can look into it for you if you like."

"When you say less invasive what does that mean?"

"There are trace amounts of the baby's DNA in your bloodstream. There's a test that can be done on a sample of your blood to match the baby's DNA against a sample of Happy's DNA. It will give a result of one hundred percent accuracy if the baby is Happy's."

"I'd really appreciate you looking into if you could." Perry said an edge of desperation to her voice.

"Sure." The doctor answered concern growing at the tone of Perry's voice. "We can look into it now if you like?"

Perry nodded, not trusting her voice as she thought back upon Happy's anger earlier in the evening. His bike was gone from the lot when she'd come out of his dorm and he hadn't yet returned.

"Juice, can we borrow your laptop?" Tara asked the young biker where he sat tapping away at it across the clubhouse.

"Ah … yeah." He answered looking around a little unsure at his brothers.

"Just let 'em use it. They won't break it." Tig said from beside the bar.

"Um yeah. Just let me close up what I'm doing." He said before rising and bringing it over to where they were sitting.

"Alright let's see what we can find hey?" Tara said reassuringly to Perry who was growing increasingly anxious beside her. Happy had always kind of scared her if she was honest so she could bet it wouldn't be too pleasant being on the receiving end of his anger.

Perry looked up from the computer screen as Happy stalked through the clubhouse door and headed straight to his dorm without acknowledging anyone.

Tara placed her hand on her arm. "We'll find a way to figure this out okay?"

"Thanks Tara." Perry answered giving her a small smile.
