Ch 6
While Happy was in Belfast Kerry got a call from her sister. Kathryn was going to Sacramento with her boyfriend for a business trip and wanted her to meet him. Kerry had not seen Tara much, from the look of it she was staying at her dad's house and after getting her voicemail twice Kerry decided to give her space. She had gone by TM a few times to help with oil changes since Tig, Kozik, and Piney were running the place. The second day Kerry was helping out Tig came up behind her.
"You look sexy in the jumpsuit." Kerry moved quick swinging and giving him a black eye. Piney started laughing as Kozik looked up to see Tig holding his face. "Whoops, quick reflexes. I used to bartend so…"
"Shit, you sure as hell don't hit like a girl."
"Sorry, I'll go get some ice."
As Kerry walked away she could hear Kozik snickering.
"I told you that would happen." Piney said with a chuckle.
A few days into the trip they had gotten word that things in Belfast were ok, Gemma had gone with them, and even though things had not originally gone to plan they had found Abel and were coming home. The one time Kerry spoke to Happy it was the night she hit Tig. Happy found it all funny and explained it was part of a test that was given to Old Ladies early on.
The day before the guys were due to fly home Kerry drove to Sacramento to meet with Kathryn and her boyfriend, Lance, for dinner. Kerry wasn't impressed with him right away, he looked like Ken doll.
"Why should I let you date my sister?"
Lance's face looked shocked as he turned Kathryn.
"Is she serious? I've answered her questions about my life and now this?!" Lance stood up. "I don't have to deal with this crap. Either come with me or get your stuff."
"We'll come get my stuff." Kathryn said. Lance stormed out of dinner and Kathryn looked at her sister then laughed.
"Where did you find that charmer?" Kerry mumbled driving Kathryn back to the hotel.
"At a bar."
"Are you pissed?"
Kathryn shrugged.
"No, he wasn't anything special. Ker, you know me better then anyone and I trust your opinion. So if I stick around for a few days can I meet your guy? Why didn't he come with you?"
"Umm… well he's in Belfast helping a friend out but he should be back tomorrow night."
"Good, I want to meet him. You seem to be doing well. You look good, you've gotten thin and what's that?" Kathryn said as Kerry pulled into the parking lot.
"What's what?" She asked playing dumb.
"The new tattoo on your shoulder. I saw it earlier but I can't see what it is."
"It's a crow." Kerry said getting out of the car.
"A crow. I thought your next one was a Disney tat."
"My next one will be. Happy drew this and did it before he left for Belfast."
"So is that his real name?"
"Yes it's his real name."
"And you met his mom."
"Yes, and his aunt. They are great."
"Good."
The girls got Kathryn's bag and Kerry drove back to Charming. Kathryn woke up the next morning to see Kerry making breakfast as well as starting dinner in the crockpot.
"Aren't you ambitious?" Kathryn said getting some coffee.
"I'm going to meet Happy at the hanger and some stuff is going on with a friend so we might be back late."
Kathryn nodded and sat down for breakfast. The girls hung around the house watching movies and talking until Kerry got a call.
"I'm going now. Have dinner and relax."
Kathryn nodded.
"I hope everything is ok. You seem tense."
"It will be."
Kerry hugged her sister and then headed out. She arrived at the hanger as everyone was getting off the plane. Kerry jumped into Happy's arms.
"I've missed you." She whispered as he nodded.
"Me too." He said spinning her a bit.
"My sister is at home. She flew in two days ago with her now ex on a business trip. She's flying back home in 2 days."
"So I get to meet your family now?" Happy asked with a smirk putting Kerry back down and putting an arm around her shoulder.
"The only immediate family member I talk to."
Kerry said with a forced smile and then she walked over to see Abel who was being fussed over by Gemma.
"I'm so glad your safe. I missed you little man." Kerry said as Abel gave her a giggle.
"Still the favorite. Hey Tig, nice shiner." Gemma said giving Kerry a smile.
Everyone went back to the clubhouse. Kerry sat with Gemma and Abel as the members talked about what to do about Tara who was missing.
"So do we all get to meet your sister or just Hap?"
"It might be a lot for her to meet everyone."
"Well… I would like to meet her before I go to jail." Gemma said as Kerry took Abel who put his hands in her hair.
"Gemma, I don't think Clay or Jax or any of the guys are going to let you go to jail."
After a rather long meeting or what seemed like a long meeting everyone came out. Some of the guys were going to look for Salazar.
"Come on, I want to meet that sister of yours." Happy said extending his hand. Gemma took Abel.
"I'll bring her by tomorrow to meet you."
Gemma nodded and smiled.
"Good, good night you two." Happy got on his bike following Kerry home. The lights were on and Kerry unlocked the door to see Kathryn on the computer.
"Crap, I gotta go. Bye."
Kerry smirked hearing the voice of Buck, Kathryn's ex saying "goodnight princess."
"Kathryn, this is Happy. Happy this is my baby sister Kathryn."
Happy put out his hand but Kathryn surprised him with a hug.
"So your the guy my sister is crazy about?" Kathryn stood back like she was inspecting him then started to laugh. "You two look perfect. Mom and dad would shit but this is perfect." Kathryn said with a smile as Happy looked at Kerry who had turned pink. "Oh I should explain. Kerry always a short list of what she was looking for and you are exactly it."
Happy started to laugh and put an arm around Kerry kissing the top of her head.
"Aww… I won't say you two are cute because that would be weird but you two complement each other and I'm glad to see Kerry smiling again."
Kathryn had waited to eat so the three of them sat down for dinner. They had some laughs and Kathryn announced she was exhausted with a fake yawn.
"Don't worry about me, I sleep with my iPod on." She said as Kerry hit her arm.
The next morning Happy went to the clubhouse to help look for Tara and Kerry brought Kathryn by to meet Gemma. Kathryn spotted a few of the club members and insisted Kerry introduce her to then.
"This will be fun." Kerry said to Gemma.
"Whose he? He's cute?" Kathryn said motioning to Kozik as she gave him a wink.
"That's Herman. He's good friends with Happy."
Kerry introduced them and then suggested she take Kathryn to see her school.
"Nice rushing me off." Kathryn said with a pout.
"Everyone is busy." Kerry said turning on her car.
"But he was cute. Is he single? Who would have thought someone in a motor cycle club would be hot?" Kathryn said as Kerry drove to her school.
"So you were talking to Buck last night." Kerry said with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, we are talking. If I accept the job offer I told you about then I could move back to Boston and he's gotten a job as a paralegal and gotten his own place."
"See? He got himself together like you asked."
Kathryn rolled her eyes.
"Just because you approve of him doesn't mean we're getting back together. He still smokes and I hate that."
Kerry gave Kathryn a tour of her school and they went out to lunch before going back to the house. Shortly after they arrived Happy called her and told her that they found Salazar and he had Tara in a hostage situation. Kerry was on edge waiting for news which she received a short time later when Happy called and said she was safe, Jax had gone in to get her and Salazar was dead. Happy told her to come to the clubhouse and Kathryn was invited. Kathryn started running around finding something to wear. Kerry went to change and she was waiting for Kathryn who ended up in a dress with heels.
"That is too much. Everyone will be in jeans. Heck I'm over dressed most the time." Kerry said as Kathryn rolled her eyes. "Kathryn, I'm serious. There are going to be women doing crazy shit tonight and I want you to promise me you won't get piss drunk and be foolish. If you and Buck are talking-"
"I'll behave." Kathryn said with a pout.
When they arrived the party was in full swing. Everyone was congratulating Tara and Jax about their "baby." Kerry gave Tara a hug.
"Thanks for keeping the secret."
Kerry had been the first to ask Tara if she was pregnant and sat with her while she took some at home tests.
"You knew too!" Jax asked as Kerry nodded.
"It's a girl thing, we pick up on this stuff. This is my sister Kathryn." Jax shook her hand and Tara gave her a hug.
"You two really are opposites."
Kerry was dressed in a pair of black pants and a tank top with flip flops and Kathryn did look like she was going to a club. Kerry introduced Kathryn to Bobby and Tig.
"So here's the famous sister-"
"She's off limits, Tig." Kerry said pointing a finger at him.
"Your sister gave me this shiner. I snuck up on her while she was helping in the shop."
"Who gave you the other one?"
Tig frowned.
"Kozik." He mumbled as Bobby snickered.
"What about your friend, when she visits is she off limits too?" Bobby asked sipping his beer.
"Mary is free to make her own decisions. Heck I chased off that guy Kathryn was dating with a few questions, he was a real winner."
"When is Mary coming out?"
"In July, we are going to Disneyland for a few days then she's coming back here for a few days. I'm trying to convince her to move out here." Kerry said as Kathryn nodded.
"But not me?" She said with a pout.
"Nope, I think your meant for big city living. You'd get bored here."
Kerry introduced Kathryn to Lyla and Opie. She and Lyla started talking about her dress. Kathryn was excited to talk about designers, Lyla didn't know the designers but her interest kept Kathryn talking. Kerry got pulled into a conversation about the Charming schools with Piney who was worried about how Ellie and Kenny were doing in school. She promised to talk to their teachers and offered to work with them on anything they needed extra help with.
"Hap, you got a great gal here. Thanks for your help." Kerry looked to see Kathryn approaching Kozik.
"I told him she's off limits." Happy said hugging Kerry from behind.
"Thanks." Kozik was quick to avoid Kathryn saying he needed to go out for a smoke. Kathryn pouted and decided to give up the chase.
"You and your sister really are opposites." Gemma said going over to sit with Kathryn.
The party got in full swing when Lyla and Opie announced they were getting married.
