"Oh my God Pez! That dress is amazing! It is so you!" Kate gushed when Perry emerged from the change rooms of a bridal store in Sacramento.

"It's very different." Tara commented. "Not exactly traditional?"

"I think it's beautiful baby." Gemma said casting a sideways glance toward Tara. "Hap should know never to expect traditional from you."

Perry smiled at the matriarch's words. "I'm pretty sure he does." She said as she looked at herself in the full length mirror. The hot pink satin bodice was adorned with black lace and diamantés and showed just enough cleavage before it gave way to a full skirt consisting of layers upon layers of varying shades of black and purple chiffon. She'd known long ago that if she were ever to marry again her dress would be far from the meringue her father had insisted she wear the last time.

Standing, staring at her reflection in the mirror, she knew this was the perfect dress in which to marry Happy. "You reckon Happy will like it?" She asked not really needing the answer.

"He's gonna love it sweetheart. I'm pretty sure white's not really his thing." Gemma said with a huge grin upon her face.

"Or yours either to be honest." Kate added with a smirk.

Perry smiled glancing back toward the mirror, taking in the way the material at the front fell across her quickly growing mid section. With time quickly running out before the baby was born the wedding day had been set for the day that Perry would be exactly 36 weeks along.

"This is definitely the one." She said to the sales girl that stood nearby.

"Sure. I'll go write it up while you get changed." She said with a smile.

"Thanks." Perry said.

"You want some help getting out that sweetheart? There's a lot of dress and only a little of you." Gemma said.

"Yeah. Kate could you?" Perry asked.

"Sure." Kate said rising from where she sat to follow Perry into the change room. "Is everything okay Pez?" She asked when they got there.

"Yeah. Why wouldn't it be?" Perry asked turning around to allow Kate to undo the zip that ran down her back.

"You just seem a little rattled."

"I guess constantly having a tail is getting to me and this; shopping for a wedding dress to marry Happy Lowman in is a little intimidating."

"You guys still going okay?"

"Yeah. He's just a little full on lately. So serious about this whole Clay thing and whatever else is going on with the club."

"Tig's been the same." Kate said helping Perry to step over the large skirt of her dress.

"I'm gonna insist he stays in tonight and drops the grumpy ass attitude." Perry said sliding back into her own clothes.

"Ha. Good luck with that." Kate smiled.

Perry smiled back. "C'mon. Let's go pay for this."

"Did you get the dress you wanted?" Happy asked later that evening.

"Sure did." She said with a slight smirk.

"What was that look for?" He asked, slamming a kitchen cupboard shut.

"Because you're gonna love it." She answered sliding her hand up his back and forcing him to turn around.

"Oh yeah? Is it white and lacy and perfect showing off these babies?" He asked cupping her breasts in his hands.

"You'll just have to wait and see." She purred thinking for a moment that maybe there was a part of Happy that craved the traditional white wedding. She quickly pushed the thought aside. It wasn't just about him – it was about her too.

"So you wanted me here tonight?" He asked sliding his hands down her hips.

"I sure did. You've been far too distant and grumpy lately. Tonight is about us without all the club drama getting in the way." She said running her hands down either side of his face before locking her arms around hi neck.

"Oh yeah? You think you can control that?" He responded as her actions forced their eyes to lock.

"I called Jax and had him make sure he wouldn't need you tonight." She said.

"Oh you did, did you?" He countered back.

"Sure did." She all but purred.

"You know one of the things I love about you Perry? You know how to get your way and you won't back down until you do."

"And I'll go to any length to get it." She said somewhat firmly.

"Yeah." He agreed.

"Go sit. I'm cooking you dinner." She said dropping her arms from around his neck and crossing to the other side of the kitchen to pull out a pot and turn on the stove beneath it.

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" He asked unsure of her cooking ability.

"Hey I can cook. I learned a fair bit from Mama while she was here. I figured it's been a while since you had a woman cook for you."

"Only woman who ever cooked for me was Ma." He said an edge of sadness in his voice.

"I figured. I wish I could have gotten to know her more." She answered, a small sad smile on her face as she looked across the kitchen to where he sat.

"Me too Perry. She really liked you." He answered.

She gave a small smile in return and continued about preparing dinner, letting the conversation between them fall short as Happy dwelled upon his thoughts.

"So you had Jax clear my schedule for tonight?" He asked seductively as she finished up the dishes in the sink.

"Aha." She answered biting her lip at the touch of his hand against her hip.

"That means I'm all yours baby." He murmured, feeling her melt beneath his fingers.

"Aha." She said as he turned her in his embrace and brought her lips to his. He dragged his fingers through the long tresses of her dark hair before hoisting her up and forcing her legs to lock around his waist as he carried her toward his bedroom.

A/N: Once again sorry it's been so long. Time to write isn't exactly on my side at the moment. So this chapter is a little on the short side but it's kind of all it needed to be to get this story rolling again. Please let me know what you all think and whether there is still interest in this story being how long I've left it...
