May 24, 2009
Four months old.
Happy moved through the clubhouse, eyeing every inch of it like it was the first time he'd ever laid eyes on it. It'd been awhile since he last step foot in the homeland but now he was off his little leave of absence and ready to commit to whatever business the club had for him.
He had blatantly ignored the task to take out Esai Alvarez and it almost got his ass in some hot water but Jax pushed that kill for another day. Happy knew just as well as Jax did that Jacey would crumble at the news of her first love dying. No matter where Jacey was in life, her first love was still an important person in her life, an important factor rather.
The men of the club all filed into the chapel, taking a seat in their respected chairs. Happy stared at the man across from him and shrugged. He'd last him when Kozik came over and stayed around while Camryn was in Happy's care for the day. Happy slowly looked at each of his brothers, feeling so disconnected from them all. Fatherhood had taken quite the toll on him and he honestly didn't know how to feel about it. He loved his brothers, the club and of course he loved his daughter, being her father... It was apart of his life now, she was apart of his life now and he didn't mind it one bit.
"We've got some shit hitting us bad, boys... Some fuckin' dickheads trying to have a pissing contest is in town. Got a call from Alvarez earlier today. By the way, Hap? Consider that request cancelled, Alvarez recalled it." Clay shook his head, eyeing his Enforcer carefully. "Racist pricks apparently. They already tried sizing the Mayans up."
The men around the table nodded their heads before Jax hit the table with his knuckles. "We decided not to make any rash decisions until we actually need to. We won't do anything until necessary, but I do want to request that my sister be brought into Charming. Her being in Oakland concerns me." Jax looked pointedly at his brother at the end of the table. "I'd rather her be near us, that way we can protect her easier."
"I don't know why you're looking at me… She's hard-headed, plus she wants to be in Oakland. It's where she's happy. Why the hell does she even need to be here? It's not like I'm moving back into a dorm..." Happy shook his head. "We go on a lockdown then I'll bring her and Camryn here, otherwise no."
Juice nodded, knocking on the table. "He's right... Brianna isn't gonna wanna come here. Not even if it's for a lockdown."
"I don't really care how you get your old lady here but as Jacey's father, I suggest you get your ass in gear and have her and the baby here tonight." Clay pointed his finger at Happy, his other hand gripping the arm of his chair.
Happy chuckled, nodding his head. "Think about who you're talking to and what you're saying. If I don't want my old lady or child here then I won't bring them. If they don't want to be here then I won't bring them. Serious lockdown? No questions asked, we'll be under this roof but until then, I'm not dragging her out of Oakland." He shook his head, glaring at Clay. "What else is on the table?"
"She's still my damn daughter and if I won't her here then I'll get her here." Clay stood up, hitting the table with a ringed hand.
Happy nodded again. "I don't have time for this shit. I'm not going to argue about my goddamn old lady. Jax can give me a call when the club needs me."
"Hap! Sit down!" Jax stood up, clearing his throat. "Just take a seat brotha, there's something else... Involves Jacey." Jax watched Happy turn around slowly and eye him. "Or stand... That'll work." Jax nodded, pulling a Manila envelope from inside his kutte and handed it to Happy. "AB's interested... Especially considering Jacey is so important to the club."
Happy looked at the pictures carefully. The first of four pictures was of Jacey sitting at a table, holding Camryn. The second picture was of Jacey and Happy standing outside their house, he was standing by his Dyna and she was sitting on the bike. The third picture was of Hap and Jacey having sex in the pool. Then the last picture was of Camryn sleeping in her crib... Very in person, very close. Happy let out the breath his was holding in and shook his head before putting the pictures back in the envelope and walked out of the room, grabbing his phones out of the box on the pool table. He immediately dialed the number he had for Aleksandr, waiting for the man to answer.
"Happy? To what do I owe the pleasure?" Aleksandr's deep voice filled the speaker.
Happy left the clubhouse. "Tell me you're in Oakland." He started a slow pace around the ring, rubbing his face slowly. "I need you to get Jacey and Camryn with you until I can get there. I can't have them alone. I need a set of eyes that I trust on her."
"I'm at Bri's right now.. She and Baby Camryn are here too." Aleksandr cleared his throat. "Can I ask what's going on, Happy?"
The heavily tattooed man shook his head. "Club enemy knows about her and her tight relationship with the club. They've been watching her." He started to move to his bike once he saw his brothers walking out of the clubhouse. "Give me those, Juice, come on." He watched the younger man and Kozik fall in step as did Jax. "Keep your eyes on her at all times, Aleksandr, please. They've been in the house... I'll be there shortly with Juice and some other brothers of ours."
"My god... She's right here in my sight, plus Igor and Elijah are sitting with the girls, she's fine, Happy. We will keep her protected, her and Baby Camryn." Aleksandr assured the man, nodding his head as he watched Bri, Jacey, Elijah and Igor talk and laugh together. "Nothing will happen, I promise you that, Happy."
Happy nodded. "I'm on my way." The man ended the call before anything else could be said and he mounted his Dyna, pulling out of the lot as fast as he could.

Happy immediately went to his and Jacey's house first with Jax & Kozik following him. They all three checked the house a few times over before Happy started to pack their bags, he then moved in Camryn's nursery and packed her extra diaper bag before packing her bag full of her clothes and a few toys. He grabbed her pack-n-play and the Co-Sleeper they'd bought for her, allowing Kozik to take some of the stuff in his hands before they filed downstairs to kitchen and Happy started grabbing bottles, baby food and the baby spoons, stuffing them in a Jacey's bag.
At the sound of the alarm blaring, he slowly moved out of the kitchen to see Elijah and Igor walking into the house. "She doesn't know anything... Juice told Bri though. They're packing up to go to Charming now." Elijah nodded his head at Happy, before turning to Jax and forcing a half smile. "As the family's watchers, we will stay with Bri and the kids no matter what, we've also taken Jacey and Camryn onto the task log as well... So leaving them just in the care of your club, that's not an option. With that being said, we will be joining the lot of you to Charming."
"Where's Jacey and Camryn?" Happy eyed the man that he knew a little too well. "Where are my girls?"
Elijah pointed toward the front door. "Aleksandr and Frey are bringing them over here now. I will be driving Jacey's Range Rover to Charming, Igor and Aleksandr will be in one of our G-Class' and Frey will be driving Bri's Range Rover over there. You guys can figure out your escorting arrangements by yourself."
"What the hell is happening right now?" Jacey moved past the men to get to her boyfriend, she was holding Camryn tight against her chest, her blue eyes burning through the heavily tattooed man with confusion and surprise drowning is the ocean like orbs.
Happy slowly passed the picture to his girlfriend. "Give her to Koz..." She nodded her head and turned to Kozik, passing the baby girl to him. "AB got a hard on for ya... For her." He looked at the pictures with her. "Baby look at this shit... They were in the house! They were right there at her! Where were we to even allow this shit? Where was I?"
"What the hell is all this? Hap! Look how close they were to us, why the fuck are they that close to her? How- where- how'd they get passed the gate? How'd they get in here?! Everything keeps everything and anything without a code out!" Jacey growled, her angry was swimming through her veins rapidly. "Where are we going?"
Happy collected the pictures, putting them in the envelope before handing them to Elijah. "I know, Jace, I know! I don't have any answers except we are going on a lockdown. The guys are coming with us... They apparently can't leave Bri, you or the kids. We are not staying in the goddamn house though..." Happy shook his head, picking up all the bags. "Come on, let's load up, I hear Monica now."
He watched the Russian men follow behind Jacey as she remet Bri and the kids. "Goddamn... We're going to the clubhouse together... Who knew this is what it took to get you back there?" Jacey smiled as she hugged Bri, kissing the brunette's head. "I'll see you there. Love you."
"I know! Feels weird going there, always out of element." Bri smiled, holding Jacey close to her as she led them to Jacey's range rover. "Let's go..."
Happy stuffed their bags into the Rover and moved to pull her out of the passenger seat. "I love you, Jace... I love you and I love her and I'm going to do whatever it takes, ok?"
"I love you too, Hap. You know that." The blonde smiled up at him. "I know that... You don't have to tell me. Just get there with me, ok? No detours, no going to watch any houses, please... Just get to the clubhouse and be with us." Jacey smiled at him, kissing his lips before getting in the car and closing the door.
Happy walked around to the driver's side door where Elijah was standing, waiting to leave. "I'm leaving them in your care, don't make me regret it, man." He nodded his head before walking off to his Dyna.
May 30, 2009
"Happy, I'm tired of staying here... Why do we have to stay here if you killed the guys in our house and shit?" Jacey stood against the dresser drawers, arms crossed, glaring at her boyfriend. "I feel like a damn caged animal. I'm limited to everything. It's annoying."
Happy looked up from cleaning his gun and looked over to the pack-n-play at his sleeping daughter. "Keep it down a little bit, Jace, what's wrong? Why are you so snippy with me lately?"
"I'm not trying to be snippy, Hap, I'm just sick of the same walls, the same things happening. And my mother! My god that woman drives me crazy... I raise my daughter just fine, why does she feel the need to aggravate me?" Jacey shook her head. "I'm sorry, but I got out of here for a reason."
Happy slowly put his gun back together and nodded his head. "I'm sorry, I know you're going stir crazy and so is Cam but we need to make sure everything is clear and safe. Especially for you two to be living there." Happy stuck his Kimber in his holster before standing up and walking to his girlfriend. "Juice and Opie are over there now rewiring the system then they're doing his house. Why don't you and Cam go hang out with Bri and the kids? Maybe go shopping or something, I'll see if Koz wants to go on a damn field trip with you troublemakers, keep you in line."
"Rather be with you right now." She pulled him closer to her, her hands snaking up his shirt. "Been here a week... I miss you."
She watched him nod his head before grabbing her hands. "Lose the clothes." He murmured, unbuckling his belt before opening the drawer beside her to pull a condom out. "You better be quiet, Jace." He smirked at her, dropping his jeans to his knees.
"What are you gonna do if I'm not?" She grinned at him and shoved her thong in his face. "Why don't you just make me cum before your baby girl senses that we are actually doing something and wakes up."
Right as Happy lifted her onto the dresser and his lips landed on hers, a knock at the door pulled them apart and Happy groaned. "Damn it." Another knock and Jacey pushed him away, toward the bathroom.
"Go fix yourself." She laughed, pulling her thong back on and adjusting her maxi skirt. She pulled her cutoff jean jacket back on and checked herself in the mirror before going to the door and unlocking it, pulling it open. "Oh... Hey!" She smiled at the man, moving to hug him. "Is everything ok?"
The man nodded his head, giving her a small smile. "Don't mean to disturb you but I was hoping we could talk for a moment... Everything is fine."
"Yeah, we can go up to the roof, it's pretty isolated up there." Jacey nodded, looking back into the room. "Give me a second then I lead you up." She watched him nod his head before walking to the bathroom where Happy was undressing to take a shower. "Why don't you give her a bath? I think Bri needs me so I'm gonna go be with her..."
Happy slowly looked back before pulling his boxers on. "Didn't bring her little bath thing." He shook his head.
"Because I'll get in the tub with her and bathe her. Put some swim trunks on and take a shower with her... Bet she'd love that." The blonde smiled, kissing his head. "I'll be back in a little bit. Have some time with your girl." She turned around and left the room. "Alright, 'Lijah, come on let's go talk."
