Okay, admittedly this is a little bit of a filler chapter, it's hard to write the events of the end of Season 2 from the perspective of someone who doesn't witness it firsthand- but I hope you still enjoy it!


The next morning Tilly woke up to Happy running his hand from her shoulder, down her side, he traced his fingers over the curve of her body, down to her thigh before running it back up her body again, and after looking over her shoulder at him, she smiled lightly. "Hey," she said softly.

"Hey," he replied, his voice low and husky with sleep.

"What time is it?" She asked and he sighed before looking over his shoulder at the small analogue clock on the bedside table next to the bed.

"Six fifteen," he replied and she sighed, laying her head back on the pillow. She knew they had to get up soon, people would be coming from all over today. She looked back over her shoulder at him and reached behind her, cupping his face gently. She could feel the prickle of his facial hair under the palm of her hand, the way he leaned into her touch and the softness of his lips as he turned his head and kissed her palm.

"I don't want to get up yet," she admitted and he wrapped his arms around her middle, resting over her abdomen where her skin was sore from the tattoos she had gotten the night before.

"Okay," he said simply before he nuzzled his chin against her neck, resting his cheek against her shoulder. She moved her hands to lay over his and sighed as he held her before he moved his hand to lace their fingers together, just holding her for a little while. She could hear people elsewhere in the clubhouse, moving around, talking, she knew that today was going to be difficult for everyone.

After they had a shower where Happy checked on the progress of her tattoos, and helped wash her very thoroughly, she stood in the bathroom, running a wide toothed comb through her hair while Happy sat on the edge of the bed and pulled boots onto his feet. "Hap," she said, watching his reflection in the mirror as he looked up at her. "I want you to be careful today,"

"I'm always careful,"

"I know," she said as she turned away from the mirror and looked at him. "But today in particular- today's going to be rough- I need to know you're going to be careful," she said and he stood up. She moved to the doorway between the bedroom and the bathroom of the apartment and he met her there, cupping her face with both hands he leaned in and pressed a kiss that she could only describe as reassuring to her lips.

"I'll be careful," he said when the kiss ended.

"Your promise?" She asked as she opened her eyes and looked up at him.

"I promise Baby," he said softly. "I'll be careful," with that he leaned in and pressed another kiss to her lips and then let go of her face, running his hand down to her chest to run his fingers over the large chest tattoo he'd painstakingly designed and tattooed for her. She smiled softly, raising her hand to touch his before she tilted her head down and pressed a gentle kiss to his knuckle, right over her name that he had tattooed across his knuckles. He moved his free hand to the back of her head and tangled his fingers into her damp curls, tilting her head up, so he could lean in and press another kiss to her lips. Just as she started to deepen the kiss there was a knock on the door and the two broke apart with a sigh. "Finish getting dressed," he ordered Tilly, gently pushing her back into the bathroom.

Tilly stepped into the bathroom and closed the door most of the way, leaving it a crack open so she could hear who was at the door. It was Piney and he said he was going to Opie's to pick up the kids and Lyla, but that Clay wanted as many sons to go get their guns from home. When Piney left Tilly was pulling on her shirt for the day, a tight crop top that showed off just the edge of the tattoos on her abdomen.

Happy tossed her her jeans and she slipped into them before putting on her boots and following him out of the apartment, locking it behind her as she did. In the clubhouse people were moving around all over the place, one of the croweaters who had shown up early was heading out with the list that had been made up the night before, and Tilly looked around at everyone rushing around before she noticed people had started showing up in the front.

She walked out front and couldn't help but smile when she saw familiar faces- yes this was a stressful time- but seeing people she knew always made her smile. She was saying hello to a few of the Rogue River guys when she heard a bike pulling up and when she saw Kozik getting off of the bike she couldn't help but squeal. It had been so long since Kozik had been to Charming and she ran over to greet him with a hug.

"Hey Princess," he said when he caught her in a big hug and picked her up to spin her around. "Long time no see,"

"No kidding," she said as he set her down and looked her over. Her shirt had ridden up some when he'd picked her up and he looked at her abdomen for a moment, reaching out to touch the area just around one of the visible happy face tattoos before he looked at her with a grin.

"I'm so proud of you," he told her and she smiled back.

"You heard?"

"We've all heard," he admitted and he cupped her face with both hands. "As soon as I found out, I told Lee I was coming down, and there was nothing he could do to stop me," She smiled as she leaned into his hand before she leaned forward and pressed a kiss to his cheek.

"Happy will be glad to see you," she told him as he let go of her face and wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

"So how's it going with you two?" he asked curiously.

"Mm, pretty good," she replied. "We got married,"

"No shit?" He stopped walking and looked at her for a long moment before letting out an astonished laugh. "Well holy shit, congratulations Till," he grinned before leaning in to kiss her temple. "I'm happy for you,"

"Kozik!" Tilly smiled when she heard someone call out to him and she nodded towards the person who had called out for him.

"Go on, go say hey," she said as she gently pushed his shoulder. "I have work to do,"

"I'm gonna catch you later, I want to hear about everything," Koz told her and she grinned before nodding.

"Go!" she laughed as Kozik ran off to say hello to more of his brothers and she stood there for a moment, watching everything happening before she remembered that she did in fact have a job to do, and she headed into the clubhouse.


The coffee urn was working overtime as she made sure it was constantly making coffee for everyone, and Linny was on her way with the order that Tilly had called into the bakery for donuts and paper coffee cups, the people that were showing up were going through all of the clean cups.

Some of them brought kids, who were confused but running around, having fun when they weren't getting in the way, and once or twice Juice had to chase them out of the church before he stationed Happy and Kozik by the door.

Tilly was pouring some more water into the coffee urn when she saw Happy catch two of the boys who were running around, stopping them from going into the church. He smiled as he redirected the kids and she paused, watching the moment before she turned back to what she was doing.

She really had to figure out when she could make that appointment with Tara.

Within a few hours more and more people had shown up at the clubhouse, and Tilly was helping as much as she could, people were everywhere and she was getting a little overwhelmed.

"Hey, can you hold him?" Tara asked as she passed Abel off to Tilly who looked at the baby in her arms. Her nephew grabbed her chin and she smiled as she held him before looking at Tara who was talking quietly to Jax who cast her a glance and then smiled at her as he walked over, away from Tara.

"You know all of this is for you," he said softly and she smiled softly at him.

"This is for mom,"

"Yeah a little bit," he agreed. "But it's for you too," he reminded her before looking at Abel. "You keep an eye on your auntie," he said to his son. "You keep her safe little man," Tilly smiled and looked at Abel who cooed and she smiled at him as Jax walked away from them, over to Tara where he kissed her and then walked outside.

"Jax said you got your own revenge last night," Tara commented and Tilly nodded.

"Yeah," she confirmed. "The guys helped me out with it."

"How do you feel?" Tara asked as Abel started to fuss and Tilly handed him over to Tara who took him and started to bounce him gently.

"A little anxious," Tilly admitted and Tara looked up at her.

"Well, I mean, that's understandable, what you did-"

"I'm more anxious to get that appointment you and I talked about figured out," Tilly said, giving Tara a pointed look and she gasped.

"Oh- Oh god right," she nodded. "After this is all over- we'll figure that out,"

"Good," Tilly nodded and Tara glanced over at Happy before looking back at Tilly.

"Does he know?"

"No," Tilly shook her head. "And I'm not going to tell him."

"Do you think that's wise?" Tara questioned and Tilly sighed before she shrugged.

"I think it would tear him up," she said softly as she picked up a few empty coffee cups and brought them back to the kitchen, Tara following close on her heels. "Knowing that I'm pregnant with a baby that's probably not even his- I couldn't do that to him. He's gotten past everything else, but I just don't want to do this to him- and honestly, I don't want to deal with it either," she admitted as she looked at Tara who nodded.

"I had an abortion once," she said and Tilly nodded.

"Me too," she said and the two girls stared at each other for a moment before Tilly heard Tig let out a loud whistle.

"Everybody! Listen up!" he shouted and everyone turned to the middle of the room where Clay and Gemma were standing. Tilly and Tara moved out from the kitchen, to the doorway to listen as Clay looked around.

"I wanna welcome you all to Club Reaper. I'm glad you made your reservations early, 'cause, as you can see, we are booked to capacity." he started off his announcement with a joke making Tilly roll her eyes as she picked up a few more empty mugs and handed them off to one of the girls who was working in the kitchen. "You're here because you're family. And because Sam Crow takes care of its own."

"Right on." someone said in the crowd.

"Next couple of days, this club's got some business to handle- that could put our members and the people connected to us in... unfriendly situations." Tilly sighed as she felt her dad glance at her as she continued to work, keeping the space clean for everyone. Now, chances are nothing's gonna happen, but, People have already been hurt on my watch. And that ain't ever gonna happen again." that time she did look at her dad and he gave her a nod before glancing from her to Gemma. "Nobody gets in. Nobody leaves without an escort. You got a safety concern, you talk to Piney. You got a comfort concern, you talk to my queen. Under this roof, you'll all be safe. I want you to make yourself at home. I love all of ya." he finished his speech and people clapped while Tilly went and got a trash bag to give one of the girls.


Things started to settle down soon, the guys had their church, and then dispersed to take care of things, and Gemma sat at the counter of the bar sipping her coffee while Tilly had one of the girls start scrubbing out the coffee urn. Now that most people had had their fill of coffee they were back on the regular drip machine, and she was organizing some of the girls cooking large meals for everyone.

"Hey Sugar, do a coffee sweep will you?" Tilly called to one of the girls who took the pot and began to do a sweep, seeing who wanted a refill.

Tilly stepped out from the kitchen and sighed as she stood behind the bar and then seeing her mom there, she leaned against the bar. "How you holding up baby?"

"I'm okay," she said. "You?"

"Oh you know, I'm worried about them," she admitted and Tilly nodded.

"I know."

"You worried about Happy?" Gemma asked and Tilly sighed as she thought about the question before nodding.

"Yeah, but not that he'll get hurt- I'm worried about him getting arrested," she explained and Gemma nodded.

"I get that," she said as she reached out and took Tilly's hand. She squeezed it and Tilly smiled at her before looking over as Tara walked over to the two.

"Hey," she said and they both greeted her with little 'hey's'. Sugar walked up between the two and refilled Gemma's coffee cup while Tara settled into her seat.

"Oh, thanks," Gemma smiled at Sugar who glanced at Tara.

"You want some coffee, doll?" she offered.

"Oh- I can get it." Tara tried to brush her off, but Sugar, she knew what she was doing.

"I got it. Cream and sugar?" Sugar insisted.

"Uh, sure. Black. Two sugars." she nodded as Sugar walked away to get a fresh cup for Tara.

"They need to do that, Show respect." Gemma said and Tara scoffed gently.

"Oh, please."

"Don't just toss that off. You've earned that, sweetheart. You're not just some croweater. You're Jax Teller's old lady. And that means something, in this clubhouse, and in this town. People need to show you respect. And you don't take shit from anyone." Gemma told her pointedly and Tara looked at Tilly who sipped her own cup of coffee.

"What about you?"

"Matilda," Gemma looked at her and Tilly rolled her eyes with a smile.

"Here we go,"

"Has taken a step down from her rightful place in the social hierarchy of this town and this club by marrying someone who isn't even a member of this club."

"He's a member," Tilly pointed out and Gemma shot her a look. "He's just not patched here,"

"So wait, because Tilly married Happy, she's not at the same social standing in the club?" Tara asked, trying to clarify.

"Technically," Tilly shrugged.

"Technically," Gemma agreed. "But Tilly's also the daughter of the mother charter's president and the daughter of one of the first nine," she explained. "So her social standing is still very high," Sugar brought Tara's coffee and Tara smiled at her.

"Thank you," she said and Sugar nodded before topping up Tilly's coffee and handing her a few single serve coffee creamers. The french vanilla ones, her favorite.

"I hid a couple more in the fridge just for you," Sugar told her and Tilly smiled.

"You're an angel," she said softly and then watched as Sugar walked away.

"Why do you spend so much time with them if you're at a different standing in the club than they are?" Tara asked Tilly as she poured a coffee creamer into her coffee.

"Number one because they're my friends," Tilly explained and Gemma scoffed. "And number two, because neither of you do, and I know they need some leadership,"

"Okay that makes sense," Gemma agreed after a moment and Tilly nodded back as she sipped her coffee.


An hour later she had gone out front to smoke a cigarette, just needing to get outside when she heard a few guys shouting at someone at the gate. She jogged over with her cigarette in hand, and froze when she saw Chucky standing there, looking confused as one of the Rogue River guys held a gun to his face.

"-No no, I know them-" Chucky was saying and Tilly put her hand on Turbo's gun, he looked at her and she nodded.

"Open the gate," she directed and after a moment the gate was opened just enough for Chucky to slip through.

"Thanks," he grinned at her and she nodded.

"We thought you were dead," she told him and he nodded.

"Yeah, I know," he said as she gestured for him to follow her. "They torched the place, I was stuck in there for awhile, but I managed to get out alive."

"Good for you," she said as she put her hand on his shoulder. "Jesus Chucky," she said as she looked at his hands, the scars from where the Chinese had cut off his fingers were prevalent, but his hands were burned horribly.

"Ah- yeah," he nodded. "It was a little difficult getting out,"

"I see that," she told him as they walked down the driveway. "Does it hurt?"

"Oh yes," he admitted and she nodded.

"Okay, well, Tara's here, Jax's old lady, the doctor," she explained, unable to remember if Chucky had ever met her. "She can take a look at those,"

"I accept that," he said and she smiled lightly as she led him to the clubhouse.

Once he was inside she sat him at a table and went to find Tara who was changing Abel's diaper. "Hey, I've got a patient for you," she said and Tara looked over.

"What happened?" she straightened up as Gemma, who had been sitting on the bed cooing at Abel stood up.

"It's Chucky," Tilly couldn't help but smirk slightly and Gemma sighed, rolling her eyes.

"Oh my god he's still alive?"

"Apparently," she grinned and Gemma nodded.

"That man will never die,"

"No kidding," Tilly agreed, but looked at Tara. "He's pretty burnt up, think you can take care of that?"

"Of course," Tara said. "Just um, I'll be right there,"

"And then we can go run those errands," Gemma suggested and Tara nodded.

"What errands?"

"We just have a couple things to do Baby," Gemma said to Tilly. "But you gotta stay here, I want you in charge while I'm gone." Tilly smiled slightly when Gemma said that, she knew it was stupid, but knowing that she was going to be in charge, it made her feel good.

"Got it," she said. "I'm gonna go see if Chucky needs something, like a soda,"

"With a straw," Gemma added and she tried not to laugh.

"Mom!"

"I'm not gonna say it to his face," Gemma assured her and she grinned before she walked out of the room, and to the clubhouse again. Chucky was sitting at the table where she had left him and a couple of the guys were talking to him.

"Hey, Vixen," Tilly called to one of the girls, a busty blonde who looked over and then stepped up to Tilly when she realized that Tilly was the one who had called her.

"What's up Tilly?"

"You ever met Chucky?"

"No,"

"You heard the story of the chronic masturbator?" she asked and Vixen looked over at Chucky and then back at Tilly.

"That's him?"

"That's him,"

"What happened to his hands?"

"If he can't grab it he can't pull it," Tilly shrugged. "Anyways, Doc's gonna clean him up, I'd like it if you made sure Chucky's comfortable," she said and Vixen sighed before looking at Chucky and then back to Tilly.

"I dunno Tilly, that's kind of weird," she said hesitantly and Tilly shrugged.

"I mean, I've heard little Chucky is pretty big," Tilly said. "I thought you were a size queen, but if not, I can ask one of the other girls-"

"Wait wait wait wait wait," Vixen said as Tilly started to turn to look for other girls. "Like how big?"

"All I know is he's supposed to be pretty thick, and I'm guessing he hasn't blown a load since the Chinese cut off his fingers," Tilly shrugged. "I'm sure he wouldn't mind a helping hand."

"You want me to do it today?" she asked and Tilly smiled.

"All I'm asking you to do is make sure he's comfortable," she said. "Get him a soda, help him eat his lunch, just make sure Chucky stays happy, okay?" she asked and Vixen nodded before she walked over to the table.

"Thank you for not picking me," Montana said and Tilly chuckled as she looked over at Montana as she walked over with a coke for Tilly.

"Thanks," she accepted the Coke. "And I figured, you've taken enough bullets for the club- besides, I wasn't lying about little Chucky being pretty big," she shrugged.

"Huh," Montana said. "Where'd you hear that?"

"My brother told Happy about what happened, and Happy told me,"

"Does he hate you?"

"He thought it was hilarious," she shook her head and Montana sighed.

"And you still married him," she pointed out and Tilly grinned.

"Yeah, what can I say, his dick was just too good to pass up, and if you agree with me, I'll have Kozik drag your ass outside those gates and lock them up behind you," Tilly shot Montana a warning look, making her laugh as she held her hands up in surrender.

"Hey, I brought you a Coke!" she laughed.

A moment later Tara passed by the two girls with her bag of medical stuff and sat down at the table with Chucky. People backed up, but they still hung around, watching as Tara worked on Chucky's hands.

"Jesus Christ. He just won't die." Tilly looked up when her dad and brother walked in. Chucky chuckled at the comment, looking genuinely amused by what her dad had said.

"He showed up at the gate." Piney said before nodding to Tilly who chuckled.

"Turbo almost blew his head off until I vouched for him," she said and her dad chuckled again.

"Survived death yet again Chucky boy," he said as he clapped Chucky on the shoulder while Tara wrapped his hands in gauze.

"He has some eyewitness intel on the Caracara." Piney added and Tilly nodded.

"Come on, Doc, if you're done, let's go run those errands." Gemma said to Tara who nodded.

"You take somebody." Clay reminded her.

"Yeah, baby." Gemma agreed as they kissed and Piney stood up to follow them out.

"Don't worry. I'll put someone on her."

"Thanks, old man." Clay said as Piney walked out. "Matilda, your old man is out front, why don't you go see him?"

"Sure," Tilly said, knowing the club wanted to talk to Chucky, so she walked over to the door and slipped out, where she saw Happy and Kozik standing outside, having a cigarette.

"Hey Baby," Happy said and she walked over, wrapping her arms around his middle with a sigh.

"Hap was just telling me about your wedding," Kozik said and she smiled as she looked at Koz and then slowly let go of Happy's middle. She turned around and leaned back against him though and he wrapped an arm around her, holding her close as she spoke to Koz for a little while, taking the drag that Happy offered her from his cigarette by holding it up to her lips while Kozik was talking. "So when are you planning on patching in?" Koz asked Happy after a little while and Happy sighed as he looked down at Tilly who was looking up at him.

"Prospect should be patching in in about a month," he said after a moment. "Probably around then,"

"Good to know," Tilly grinned and he smiled at her before kissing her temple. A moment later Chucky came out of the clubhouse and walked over to Chief Unser's car and carefully managed to open the door and get in.

"Do you think that his like one finger will get super ripped?" Koz asked and Tilly snorted softly.

"God just like one super muscular finger on each hand?" she asked.

"That's horrifying to think about," Happy admitted as he held his own hand up and looked down at it. Tilly laughed and Kozik grinned.

"You know I'm thinking about going nomad. Maybe heading south," Kozik commented and Tilly quirked an eyebrow.

"Yeah, where you thinking of going?" she asked and he gave her a pointed look. "Oh good luck with that," she scoffed before she took the cigarette from Happy who scoffed indignantly at her movement but ultimately lit himself another one.

"What?" he asked and she looked at Kozik.

"It's never gonna happen, you and Tig have way too much bad blood,"

"Oh- that was ages ago!"

"Like I said, good luck," she said before the door opened and Tig walked out. He glanced at Kozik before looking at Happy and nodding to him.

"Ready to go?" he asked and Happy nodded.

"You guys need me?" Kozik asked and Tig looked at him for a long moment before shaking his head.

"Nah, stay here, someone's gotta keep an eye on this one. So long as her old man trusts someone like-"

"Tig," Tilly said warningly and Tig stopped speaking before he gave Tilly a kiss on the head and then stormed past all of them to his bike.

"We're good right?" Kozik looked at Happy who nodded.

"Keep an eye on her," he said and Kozik nodded as more guys filed out of the clubhouse. When they were all heading out she looked at him Kozik before sighing.

"So what did you do to Tig anyways?" she asked and he let out a small scoff before shaking his head.

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you," he said as he slung an arm over her shoulders and pulled her into his side.


Like I said, a little bit of a filler chapter, but the story is for the most part from Tilly's perspective, and she's stuck at the clubhouse during all of this. I do like showing her interacting with the croweaters a bit more though, and I hope you like that as well!

Thanks so much for all of the sweet comments and everything, don't forget to leave a comment on this chapter as well!
