So baby don't look back odds don't stack

They just crumble down around you

Oh you gotta go away if you wanna come back

I won't crack I can't make a sound without you

And even if it sounds crazy darling I won't let you go

And even if it don't ever stop raining darling I won't let you go

And even if the world's burning darling I won't let you go

Even if it sounds crazy, darling


Moving them to the bed, Happy continued to hold his wife tightly to his chest. He was stroking her back, rubbing it slowly. He pressed a few kisses to her head before he felt her push at his chest.

Moving out of his lap, Hanna stood up, facing him. She sent her fist into his face and then slapped him. Seeing the blood from his lip, she smirked. Almost smiling as he wiped the blood away from his lip. The killer in him wanted to jump up, hit her around a few times but the husband in him, the man that loved her was letting her do this. His resolve was a lot stronger than he gave himself credit for. He simply stood up, towering over her. Her small frame was covered by his much larger one. As he got closer to her, she shoved him away from her. "No!" She pushed him again but he still didn't budge.

"Stop, Hanna!" He didn't mean to raise his voice, but if it got the message across then so be it.

"NO! Get the fuck out, get away from me and stay away from the kids! I need space from you and you apparently don't really want this fucking family so fuck it, Happy! I'm done! Go have your freedom, have your fun… Fuck all the croweaters you want, there's absolutely nothing stopping you now!" Hanna opened the bedroom and stood beside it, waiting for him to walk out of it.

He slowly walked toward her, as if he was actually leaving but he snatched her up, away from the door and slammed it shut. Setting her back on the floor, he pushed her against the door. Trapping her in place by placing his hands on either side of her body, he leaned forward, pressing his lips to her collarbone. He inhaled her scent, resting his forehead against her chest, he took in another deep breath.

"You think it's going to be that easy, don't you?" He whispered against her skin, pressing another kiss to her collarbone. "You think I'll just accept that shit and walk away?" Pulling back to see her face, her eyes were closed. "I'll stay at the clubhouse for a few days, that's all you got… Make up your mind and make a decision. But let me tell you this: whatever decision you make is it. No more bullshit, no back and forth, nothing. You got me? I'm not playing around, woman." He started to trail kisses from her collarbone to her jawline. "Let me find out you been with someone and I'll fuckin murder him and beat the fuck out of you.. Do you understand?"

At his last words, she shoved him back. A smirk playing on her face. "Excuse me?" Hap stalked toward her again, a look in his eyes that should've scared the blonde beauty but no, it just egged her on. "I don't think you have any fuckin' say-so on that subject. You lost that fuckin' right a long time ago, baby. Just fuckin' leave, Happy. I don't want to look at you anymore. Don't you think you've done enough? You fuckin' cheat on me and then turn around to make me look like the bad and I won't fuckin' have it! I've been good to you, since day fuckin' one and you used to treat me so fuckin right and now, it's shit. Our entire relationship is turning into one big fuckin' joke… At this point, I'm not even sure why we stay together…" Hanna laughed, she had to. Her marriage was turning into a joke, if it wasn't one already. No one could tell her differently, though. She loved the asshole more than anything in the world and she didn't want any other man. She wanted him, she didn't want anyone else's love, just his.

He was an asshole through and through but he loved her just the same, they both knew it. He never did things for the fuck of it, he did it to make a point or for good reason. This didn't prove any point he was trying to make to her so now Hanna had to ask what good reason did he have to go and hurt her like this?

"I guess you made your decision then, huh?" He backed away from her. The deathly glare faded, now was the look of pain and hurt. She knew he was kicking his own ass for not thinking, for cheating on her. She didn't want to justify his actions by any means but here she was, internally giving him some type of benefit. "I'll talk to Rosen about some divorce papers then…" The Killer grabbed a t-shirt and his cut before he tugged his boots on.

"Making some quick decisions for something that wasn't going to be so easy, aren't ya?" Hanna didn't even mean to say it but there it was, lingering in the air, breaking the silence.

He looked up at her, a glimmer of hope cascading around him. "You want a divorce, Hanna?" He stared at her, seeing fresh tears stream down her face. She shook her head. "Good because I was lying. I wasn't gonna talk to him about shit."


They'd been away from each other for almost two weeks and where Happy was on runs left and right, Hanna was keeping the kids close, running the shop as best she could. She had help from the club; prospects worked in the shop while only full patches were allowed around the kids. A request from Happy that everyone seemed to agree on; apart from SAMCRO Family, there was only one person who could go near the Lowman kids and that was Natalie's younger brother who was fresh out of college and looking for a job until he was ready to go to New York. He was good in the shop, good with the kids and apparently had his eye on the blonde beauty but she didn't pay him much attention. Matt always tried to keep things professional though. He knew she was married and he didn't want to be the asshole to fuck with that.

But for some reason, when he walked into the shop today, only to find Hanna behind the counter, he could care less about professionalism. Yeah, he was ten minutes early for his shift but he was always early. He hated being late and he thought Hanna would appreciate his punctuality.

"Hey, where's everyone?" Matt put his jacket behind the counter like he normally did.

Hanna looked up from the cash register and smiled at the brunette. "Guys had a late one last night so they're sleeping in, Gemma has the kids and I'm right here. If you would go ahead and stock the shelves, that'd be great. I'm almost finished up here, I just have to go to the bank and get some more tens before we open."

Matt nodded his head with a smile, "Sure thing." He turned to start stocking the counter with supplies when he suddenly stopped and looking over at Hanna who was still counting money. "Hey, Hanna?"

"Yeah?" She looked up again, this time confusion was etched on her face before she turned her body to completely face him.

He walked to her, standing directly in front of the blonde beauty. "How come you wear a wedding band but I've never one seen your husband here?"

"We're separated right now, he's staying in Tacoma when another charter… Why? You wanna meet my husband?" Hanna smirked, knowing exactly how Happy would react to the guy standing near her.

Matt shook his head. "No, not really… I don't know if I could respect someone who openly chose to stay away from you."

"Do not cross that line… He'll happily take you apart if he finds out you tried anything with me." Hanna held a hand up to stop him.

Matt took a step forward, inching closer to her. "For someone that chose to separate from you, he sounds like a protective dick." He watched Hanna back away from him so he stepped forward. "What are you afraid of, Hanna? I heard you in the back room the other day, talking to Nat about me. You told her you thought I was good looking."

"Yeah, you're good looking but that doesn't automatically give you access to my pants. You need to chill out, get some air and cool off." Hanna moved around him.

"You want something to happen between us, I know you do… Look at you, you're trying so hard to ignore this and avoid me." Matt walked back to her. "Tell me it's not true and I'll back off. Go ahead… tell me you don't feel the attraction."

Hanna turned to face him. He was right, she did find him attractive, she did find him good looking but she wasn't like Happy… She couldn't just get involved with another man like he could with a croweater. She couldn't just ignore the promises they once made each other, the vows they both spoke on three years ago and she couldn't bring herself to ignore her strong love for the asshole.

"You can't even answer me… I never thought you'd be a woman to run from her feelings, guess I was wrong." Matt moved around the blonde beauty to go back to stocking the shelves when he was being jerked backwards. They came face to face and Hanna him against the counter, her mouth finding his before he could protest the rough actions. His hands landed on her ass and he started to lift her up when the bell on the door rang and they pulled apart.

When Hanna turned around, she was met with dark eyes and she was sure he'd kill her right there. She quickly moved away from Matt, keeping her eyes on the man at the door. He just stood there with an emotionless expression on his face. He wasn't looking else but at her.

"We're not open for another hour; you'll have to come back." Matt moved to stand in front of Hanna, quickly pushing her behind him. "Sorry, man."

"Get. Your. Ass. Over. Here. Right. Now." The thick, raspy voice that she'd missed so much came to life. Hanna knew exactly who was talking to yet she didn't make a move. She didn't know what he was going to do but she knew what he was capable of and that scared the hell out of her. "NOW HANNA!" Hap crossed his arms over his chest, staring right through Matt as if he had x-ray vision and could still see his wife.

Hanna quickly left the area and sheepishly walked toward her brick wall of a husband. He grabbed her by her upper arms and slammed her into the wall as soon as she got close enough for him to reach. By that time, Matt had made his way around the counter, rushing toward the married couple. "Man, you need to get your hands off of her and get the fuck out of here!"

"It's ok, Matt… This is my husband." Hanna whispered as she tried to get Happy to release his hold on her. "Just go to the back and start getting things prepared… I'll be back there to help you in a minute."

"This is how he treats you? I'm not going anywhere until he releases you." Matt was shaking his head, crossing his arms over his chest.

Happy released his vice grip on Hanna, turning around to face the motherfucker that had his hands on his property. Happy's kimber was already trained on Matt. "Get the fuck out of here NOW!" Watching Matt franticly nod his head and speed-walk to the back of the ice cream shop, Happy turned back around after placing his gun back in the holster.

His hand was on her throat, keeping her in place, slowly applying pressure. "What did I tell you?"

Hanna's hand was on his, trying to get him to release the pressure he was applying. "What are you doing back?"

"Answer my fuckin' question, Hanna!" Happy hit the wall beside her head. "I should beat the fuck out of you all over this goddamn shop then go back and kill that stupid fucker!" His hand that was on her neck suddenly left its resting spot and started rubbing his face before he hit the wall again. "How long has that shit been going on, Hanna?"

"Today's the first time anything has happened. It had just started when you walked in… Do what you have to do to get right with this, Hap. If you gotta beat my ass to feel better about you starting this entire bullshit then go ahead. But please remember that this all began with you, not me." Hanna quickly dropped her head and her hand flew to her face.

Happy hooked a finger underneath her chin, forcing her to look at him and he saw the tears. "I don't know why I expected you to fuckin' wait on me… I don't know why I expected you to still want to work shit out. I'm sorry I took too long to come back to you… Again."

"I got right with that shit days ago, Hap… You're forgiven but I won't forget that you once again fuckin' betrayed me but I know that I love you and I want more than anything to be with you. This is it, Hap. Last fuckin' chance… I know you always say that we'll be together forever and shit but why the fuck do you have to act like such a huge asshole? The guys don't think any less of you because you're married with kids now… If anything they respect you more because you're one of the ones they never thought you'd settle down. It gives half of them hope that they'll find someone to put up with their shit since you found someone to put up with yours. But please, god, Hap… please don't let me down again. Go see the kids, they miss you… phone calls weren't enough for them. I'll call Gemma and tell her to bring them by and she'll open up today."

"That fucker is going to ring either way, I don't give a fuck… Just like you have to fuckin' prove to the croweaters and sweetbutts not to come near me, I have shit to prove too." He pressed a kiss to her head, missing every little thing about his blonde beauty and thanking every religious figure there was that he was getting another chance. He wasn't going to fuck her over this time… No, he couldn't do it.


AN: The feedback I got on that last chapter was phenomenal! Thank you all soooo much for that, I was so appreciative of each and every review!

Now I know you guys are probably mad at me for this chapter, but I got bigger problems in store for the couple... Like that damn Agent who's coming back in the next chapter! As much as you guys didn't want them to get back together, I've already told you guys- they are the end game. They are forever, he does stupid shit and so does she... Granted she doesn't do the kind of shit he does, but she's right up there with him.

It's gonna upset me if I lose any of you amazing readers because of this chapter but I guess that's life, yeah?

Hope you guys are enjoying it so far, :|
