Finding Happiness Ch. 13

Luna was sitting at the table with Donna, Gemma, and Luann, they were bullshitting about everything. Luann was by far a little insane, but in the most amazing way. She had this ditzy blonde thing, but she wasn't an idiot, one thing is for sure, she really missed her husband. Big Otto, when she talked about him her eyes lite up, the love was still there, even after all this time apart. It was humbling for her see. She envied the woman at the table, each one, while complicated was so sure of the love that they had with their outlaws and the devotion that they showed their Old Ladies was beautiful.

Luann like Luna, she was smart, beautiful, and kind, she was a good fit for Happy. He was always so serious. They kind of reminded her of how different Otto and she were, her this perky blonde, him a cold stone killer. But she knew that opposites attract. She missed him so much, she wished she could visit him, but he wouldn't allow her to see him in jail, they wrote to each other all the time, and even spoke on the phone, but it wasn't enough.

Luna could see that the conversation about her old man took its toll, putting her hand on her shoulder, "I'm sorry that he's being stubborn." Taking a sip of her beer, "I can volunteer at the prison, if Happy doesn't have too much of a cow, I'd be more than willing to go see him and tell him to stop being a stubborn fool."

Luann perked up, "You would do that?" she asked almost in disbelief.

Gemma and Donna just smiled at Luna, this is why she was so loved, while she wasn't a push over, she had a kind heart and wanted to see the people that she cared for happy.

Nodding her head, "Yea, I will talk to Happy about it, if he's good with it, I'll go at least for a couple of treatments."

Hugging the young woman, "You're a good girl. I'd appreciate it. I know the guys go visit him, but they wouldn't delivery a lovey message from me, it'd make them feel too much like a pussy!"

Gemma laughed, "Sometimes these guys are such idiots, I love them, but come on, being a badass in front of your family?"

Donna snorted, "Big tough men. Give me a fucking break. I don't think they know what we as the women in their lives deal with. Home, job, kids, businesses. They'd crack in a week."

Luna couldn't help but laugh with the girls. Looking over at the other table across the lot, she could see all the members just drinking and laughing together, Bobby was face deep in some whore. Jax looked at peace with his President patch. Opie the ever faithful solider was to his right, standing in as VP, and finally Hap, he was to the left, the Sgt. At Arms, while it was a blow to Tig, he didn't make a big deal out of it, he handled it well, all things considered. Looking over at Gem, "How's Clay doing?" she asked.

Exhaling the smoke from her joint, "Good baby, he seems happier, he gets to focus on being a member, not keeping those knuckle heads in line."

Luann nodded. It was Luann that commented, "It's good though, changing of the guards, some of old timers need to let the young men deal with the bullets."

While the thought of Happy getting shot at made her stomach turn, she knew that this was his life, and while she would always ask him to be safe, she would never ask him to change. Looking over at Donna, it was obvious she was thinking the same thing.

"Yea, they can duck and weave better." Luna snarked. Looking at Gemma, "And you, how are you doing?"

Downing her vodka, "I'm good, after talking with Jax, he said that he still wants me to keep the girls in line, but I know they are going to step up to me a bit more."

Luna thought this part of the club was ridiculous, these whores literally are fighting for a position that could never be theirs. Honestly, members aren't going to make them an old lady if all their brothers nutted on her face. "Well, if any of those bitches' step to you, I got your back."

Donna bumped Gemma's shoulder, "Me too. It's been a while since I had to bounce a bitch off the pavement."

Everyone at the table was laughing at the image of Donna putting a bitch in her place. Luna hugged her, "Girl, I would love to see that. I mean you're married to a mountain of a man. Bitches seem to forget that when they look at you, huh?"

Donna nodded, "Stupid bitches. I hope a bitch honestly would try me." That was something that she honestly needed. After the last few years of her barely participating with the club, treating Gemma like crap after Opie got out. Yea. She needed to defend Gemma, it would show the club that she was back, show that Gemma had the support of the other old ladies.

Standing up, "I'm going inside to grab a beer, anyone else want one?" Luna asked.

Donna was the only one that asked for one. Turning her heel she headed towards the main clubhouse, walking in she could see that some of the Tacoma members were here, the blonde surfer one was sticking his tongue down one of the croweaters. Shaking her head, she walked up to the prospect.

"Hey Kip, would you be a dear and get me 2 beers please?" she asked him. Luna like him, he was sweet, a little goofy, but a sweet kid. She thought is nickname was tragic though. Halfsack. Who would want a reminder of such an injury? But hey, he was a prospect, he didn't get to pick anything.

Looking up, "Oh, yes of course Luna." He stammered out. He liked her, she was always nice to him, hell she was nice to everyone. It was strange that she was a biker's old lady. Especially Happy, that dude scared the hell out of him. As he went behind the bar to grab her drinks, he saw the porn girl, Stella step to her.

"You know, it's only a matter of time before Happy gets bored with your basic pussy." She said.

Fucking really? "Seriously? Is that supposed to make me curl up and cry? Get over yourself cum catcher." Turning her eyes towards Kip, giving him the hurry up glance.

She didn't like being ignored, how dare this bitch take Happy. All the good SONs were taken, it wasn't fair. "BITCH, you're not even his real old lady, you don't have his crow."

Luna reacted, grabbing her by the hair she slammed her face into the bar, she did it until she could hear the bone snap in her nose. Watching the blood spill out, she looked down at the girl crying on the floor. "You or any of your bitches speak that way to me again, I'll cut your tits off. You hear me?" She watched the girl shake and nod. Looking around she could see that the SONs in the clubhouse were smiling and impressed, the other girls looked at her in fear. She turned and grabbed the beer that Kip put down, and she made a beeline out the door.

Walking passed the table that the SONs were sitting at, she couldn't help but look over at Happy, he was having a conversation with Jax about god knows what, but her heart sank a bit, while she knew that Happy loved her, that skank bitch was right, he's never once in the few months they've been together ever mentioned his crow.

She made a line straight to Donna and Gemma, it seemed like Luann left. Putting the beer down in front of Donna, she sat down, she tried to keep the frustration on her face, but Gemma was like a fucking bloodhound when it came to shit like this.

"What's the matter baby girl?" she asked. Lighting another cig.

She was not one to lie to her, "Bitch stepped to me at the bar, I handled it, but, she said something, and she's not wrong. I'm kinda bothered by the fucking thing."

Gemma looked worried, "What happened?"

Luna explained in detail what happened, and what was said, "She's not wrong, while Happy says I'm his old lady, and has told me he loves me, he still hasn't given me his crow. It's frustrating because I would in a heartbeat, I love him. It just hurts."

Gemma rubbed her shoulders, she honestly didn't know why he hasn't, she was honestly surprised. But that wasn't what Luna needed to hear, she already knew it. "Have you talked to him about it?"

Leaning into Gem, "No. I would, honestly, but it's like if I talk to him about it, he'll more and likely do it because he doesn't intentionally do things to hurt me, but it's not the same, if it was something that he wanted to happen he would. Happy may be a guy, but he's not shy in telling me or anyone what he's thinking. Ya know?"

Donna looked over at her friends, Luna was right, Happy isn't one to beat around the bush. She knew that tomorrow she was going to ask Opie about it. Subtly of course. But unfortunately, it was time for her to get home to be with the kids, she could see that Opie was standing up and saying night to the boys, she really was lucky, they found a good balance between club life and their life. "Luna, I'm sorry that it hasn't been a discussion, but don't worry, if he didn't think of you as his old lady, he wouldn't be telling his brothers or the whores. So, there is that." Standing up, "Opie and I are gonna be heading home," giving her and Gemma a hug, "Love you guys. Talk in the morning." With that Donna walked towards Opie and they rode off the lot.

Gemma could see that her girl was hurting, "She's right you know, he wouldn't let anyone call you his old lady if it wasn't true."

Finishing up her beer, "I know Gem, I do. I just wish he would complete it, it's a tradition; you said all the charters participate in, even the Belfast carter. I'm not going to go all female about it, because that won't do me any good, but for this moment I can be pissed a little bit, right?"

Gemma couldn't help but laugh, "Yea baby, you can be a little pissed with me. Right here."

The two chatted for a long time, she was telling her about J.T the founder and first President of the SONs, her first husband. It was a beautiful, but sad story. The two were in their own world, but the eerie silence that sounded through the lot made them both look up. Standing outside a Mercedes were several men, one in a high-end designer suit, he was talking to Clay, Happy, and Tig were flanking him.

Luna felt Gemma tense up, she couldn't really see the man in the suits face, but by the looks of him, he was trouble. Great, that's just what the club needed. "I got a bad feeling about this."

"I can't help but agree baby." Gemma could tell that this wasn't a friendly meeting.

They watched as the man handed Clay a business card and laid a small box at his feet. As they all got into the silver car and backout of the lot, Clay turned to the party and told them to turn the music up. Gemma grabbed Luna by the hand and walked over to her husband.

"Everything OK baby?" she asked. Her tone meaning, give me the details.

Sighing, "Yea, just another Nazi prick overstepping his bounds. Nothing to worry about." Clay was sure that this display was just that, a display. No one comes into Charming and distracts what the SONs can or can not do.

Turning towards Tig, "Get Jax, let him know what happened." While he would love to handle this shit, it was now Jax's job, he turned to his wife, "Let's go enjoy the party." With that Clay let her to the ring, to watch the fight.

Luna stood there, looking at Happy, "You good biker?" she asked him.

Kissing the top of her head, "Yea little girl, I'm good. Let's go have some fun." With that Happy brought her inside.

After another hour or so, Luna was getting tired, but she could see that Happy was having a good time talking with Quinn, which she learned was the "president" of the nomads. Now that was a mountain of a man, she bet that if Opie was here, he would look small compared to that one.

As she was going to walk up to him and let him know that she was going to head to his dorm, Gemma came up to her, "Hey I wanna go home and relax, wanna join me?"

Smiling up at her, "Where's Clay?"

Pointing in the direction of the men, "He's currently having a deep conversation with Lorca, something about hot rods or some shit like that, he doesn't get to see these guys too often, so I told him to stay and have a good time, so you wanna go back to my place?"

"Oh hell yea, let me tell Hap, I'll meet you at the car." She turned and made her way over to her old man. She could tell that they both knew that she was near them, they both stiffened. "Sorry to interrupt, but Gemma is heading home, and she invited me over. You OK with that?" she asked him.

Happy smiled at his lady, "Of course little girl, have fun. I'll pick you up in a couple hours."

Leaning in she gave him a quick kiss. "See you biker."

Making her way outside she saw Gemma sitting in the car ready to go, pulling out of the lot, they started to make their way to Gemma's. They sat in relative silence, it was nice, after the obnoxious music from the party, it was great to just sit and be quiet.

As they pulled up to a stop sign, the car jerked forward. Someone lightly hit them.

Gemma turned to Luna, "Stay here, I'll handle this shit." Getting out of the car, Luna could hear a frantic woman cry, turning in her seat, she saw Gemma look in the backseat of the vehicle. As she made the decision to get out of the vehicle, she saw the blonde hit Gemma with something. Without missing a beat Luna jumped out of the car and ran straight at the blonde. She was so focused on Gemma that she didn't hear Luna run at her.

As she got to where Gemma was laying in the van, Luna tackled the girl. Grabbing her hair, she punched her several times in the face. 5 solid hits and the girl was knocked out cold. Standing up she saw that there was a fake baby in the car seat, and rolls of duct tape. What the actual fuck? This wasn't just some robbery; they were going to kidnap Gemma Fucking Morrow! Shaking off the shock that she was feeling, Luna took Gemma's pulse, it was strong, good. What the was she supposed to do? Can't leave the kidnapper here, can't bring her back to the party. FUCK, making a quick decision Luna looked down and saw that the bitch was still knocked out.

Running to the car, she popped the trunk, she moved as quickly as she could. Taking the tape she wrapped the hands tightly behind her back. Using the strength she developed as a RN, Luna took a few minutes to get the girl into the trunk of the car. Checking her pulse, hers was strong as well. Good, you're not dying until you tell us why. Taking more tape, she made sure that her nose was clear, but her mouth was shut, patting her down she found a crappy cell phone, turning it off, Luna put it in her back pocket. Before she shut the girl in, she wrapped her legs up, there was no way that Luna was going to let this bitch escape. Once she felt that she was secured in the trunk she slammed the door.

Getting into the drives seat, she backed the car around the van and put in park, going to the passenger side she opened the door, and as quickly as she could without causing Gemma any further injuries, she got her in the car. Knowing that Gemma was secured, she looked at the van; without touching anything she looked inside to see if there was anything else that could be helpful, but not seeing anything, she turned and left it where it was.

Putting the car in drive, she headed towards her house. As she drove, she checked Gemma's pulse, making sure that there was nothing serious. After the 3rd time she knew that she was just being crazy, and that she needed call Jax, and Happy. Pulling out her phone, she called Jax, he was the President, and it was his mother.

She was grateful that he answered immediately. "Hey Luna, didn't you just leave?"

It was not the time for pleasantries. "Jax, you, Happy, Clay, and Chibs need to come to my house, right now. I don't want to discuss it over the phone, but get here, it's important. Please."

Jax never heard Luna speak with such coldness, "OK, I'm getting them right now, be there in 20." With that Luna disconnected the call.

Keeping an eye on the road in front of her, and checking her mirrors, she was certain that no one was following them, she made several unnecessary turns to make sure, once she felt that they were not being followed, she finally took the back way to her home. Seeing her house made her feel 1000x better. Pulling up the drive, she parked the car and punched in the code to open her garage, pulling Gemma's car in, she turned off the engine, and shut it. Punching the code to lock it. Happy would need to use his key.

Leaving Gemma in the car, she opened the doors that led to the house, walking in she double checked all the windows, and grabbed the gun that Happy told her to keep near the bed, checking to see that it was loaded, she put it in her pants and headed back to the garage, it took her a good 5 minutes to get Gemma inside the house and onto the couch. Checking her pulse again, she let out a sigh of relief, at least they were safe. Going to the garage door, she shut it and locked it. Luna was on edge. Until Happy walked through that door, she was ready to blow anyone's head off.

In what seemed like forever, she could hear the bikes coming from down the road, she wanted to run outside and wrap her arms around Happy, but she refused to leave Gemma alone. She started counting in her head, by the time she got to 23 when she heard the key in door, she forced herself to stand still. As Happy walked through the door she could see the tension in his face.

Rushing into the house, Happy saw her standing there with the gun he gave her. "What happened?" His eyes landed on the couch and saw that Gemma was out cold. He heard Jax and the rest come into the house, it was a deadly quiet.

Jax saw his mother on the couch, just like Happy he wanted to know what happened. "Luna explain now." His voice was deadly calm.

Her eyes watched the men around her, she was freaked out, not that she did something wrong, just the whole fucking situation. Taking a deep breath, she locked eyes with Happy, she needed his strength.

Luna quickly and efficiently explained everything in detail. Sighing, she proceeded to explain the last bit of the info, "So, once I knew Gemma was OK, I uh,"… looking at Happy, "I uh, used the duct tape and tied her up and put her in the trunk. Which is currently in my garage."

The room was silent, Luna couldn't help but fidget around, looking at Happy, she put the safety on and handed him the gun.

Clay was shaking with rage, he walked over to his wife and pushed her hair aside, "Is she going to be OK?"

Looking over at him, "Yea, she'll be fine, probably have a headache." She was scared, Jax, Happy, and Chibs were just standing around, looking at her like she grew 6 heads.

Happy broke the tension and pulled her into a deep hug. "You did great little girl. I'm so proud of you." While he was wanting to kill the girl, he knew that it was important to find out why she was trying to kidnap Gemma.

Jax could see that Luna was shaken up, but he was impressed. "We're all proud of you. You did good darling." Taking a deep breath, he looked at Happy, he needed the Tacoma killer, "I'll call the prospect have him bring the van, you, take that bitch to the cabin, I'll send Tig, find out who the fuck she is, and what she was doing."

Happy nodded, looking down at Luna, he could see her questions, but she just kissed him, "Make it hurt Happy."
