Thank you all for the reviews. Sorry for the delay in posting I have away. Anyway here is Chapter 2, I hope you all enjoy

Chapter 2

Happy parked his bike, he didn't give a shit where, and ate the ground up to the Hospital reception.

"Teller, Nicole." He rasped to the young girl behind the desk.

"One moment." He pulled a face at her, not that she realised she hadn't even looked at him yet. Happy didn't have a fucking moment, he had ridden all night even though he knew that V-Lin had wanted a break he couldn't take a break not till he had seen her, not until her knew that she was safe, his kid was safe. "Your relationship with the patient?"

"The fuck?"

"Hap…" Both his and the girl's attention turned to the new voice. Lee. Happy stalked over to him embracing his brother in a hug.

"Pam?" Lee nodded.

"Fractured wrist, some cuts and bruises." Happy noticed the slight shake of Lee's hand as pulled out his smokes, this is probably where he had been heading when he spotted Happy. "Could have been worse."

Yes, it could have been worse, Happy just hoped that Nicole hadn't come off as the worse. "Where is sh…"

"Second floor." Lee said cutting Happy off. "Doctors haven't told us much sept that she's stable. Told um bout the kid. Said the father was on the way." He watched Happy shift his weight. "Go up tell them who you are, they will probably tell you more."

Happy nodded and side stepped his former President and headed for the elevator. "I'm sorry Hap." He looked over his shoulder at Lee. "She shouldn't have been off the lot."

Happy couldn't agree more. He had left strict instructions when he dropped her off, yes, she technically wasn't his old lady and Tacoma , but she was carrying his kid, that held some weight and he thought that meant that his demands regarding her would have been followed. He was seething about it, however Happy also registered that Lee caught the blowback of letting her out by his Old Lady getting hurt. Happy could let this drop for now as he had major respect for Lee and Pam.

So he nodded and continued to head to where he needed to be.


"Can I help you?" Happy turned his head. She looked like a nurse; skin like his that hinted to a mix race background, greying hair. She was definitely pushing late 50's maybe early 60's. He could see her eye him before sparing a look at Nicole.

Happy wasn't stupid he was wearing his cut; he knew what he looked like and he knew that details of Nicole's accident would have been sparse so that they could protect the club. So, he got that she was unsure, so he told what she needed to hear, the truth, just like Lee had advised.

"I'm the kid's father." Again, her eyes went to Nicole before curiously meeting his again. Happy ran a hand over his shaved head. "I'm her boyfriend. The baby's father." Boyfriend, not a term he was familiar with, however neither was Old Man.

"Ah, we've been expecting you." The nurse's personality changed instantly. If she noted the age difference though, she didn't show it. "She suffered a blow to the head which ended in some stitches." Happy eyes went to the gash on her temple that was covered in bandages. The lady continued. "She has a mild concussion. She also lost a lot of blood due to the gash in her side from the glass, and some bruising, but given her injures she seems to be responding well. She'll need to be monitored until we can decide when she will fit for release. She did lose a lot of blood so she will be weak, we have done everything that we can."

"The baby?" The woman smiled and walked over to the table beside Nicole. Happy saw her grab something, once she handed it to him, he realised what it was. He was surprised by the sudden rush in his chest, a feeling he had never experienced before, but then again, he had never seen his kid before. There on the sonogram was his baby, he eyes flicked to Nicole before looking back at the picture. They had made this.

"Heartbeat is good, your good lady will just need to take easy for a while, and as I said we will need to monitor her and the baby for a few days. But your lady is strong, she'd fighting but no more accidents, or stress." If this woman had lived her life in Tacoma, which he was sure that she had by the way she looked at him, then she knew the club. He slid the photo into the inside pocket of his cut.

"I'll take care of her." With a nod the nurse left.

Happy took the seat next to the bed the seat was comfortable which was good as he knew that he wouldn't really being leaving it until his girl was truly safe.


He had spent 3 days watching her eyes flutter open but quickly close. She hadn't moved or properly woken up but the nurses kept telling him that this was normal, but for Happy nothing about this was right. He needed to see those green eyes, he needed to hear her speak, shout shit at him if she wanted to, he needed Nicole Teller.

His Tacoma brothers had frequented the hospital but Happy had only managed a few mumbled words to them. When Pam had visited, he had no choice to speak more, seeing her all battered and bruised did something to him and he felt himself quickly apologising for her getting hurt and asking if she was ok. She had nodded and smiled at him before grabbing some homemade stew from her bag and handing it to him, insisting that he ate and not the hospital crap that they called food. Happy didn't argue with that.

Jax had been on the phone. Filled him. Tara had been arrested for an accessory to murder. That damn necklace she had taken into the prison for Otto had linked her to the murder although all she had done was try and help the Sons get rid of the RICO against case against them. The call had just confirmed to Happy that women shouldn't be used for club business. Like with his other brothers when Jax had asked about Nicole he was a man of few words, just confirmed that she was stable- like the nurse had told- and when Jax had asked when he would be back his answer was "As soon as possible."

With each day that passed Happy found his eyes fixating on the tinniest of bumps that he could see from beneath the covers, which to anyone else would probably go unnoticed but to Happy, that bump was his kid. His hands were itching to take revenge but Lorca had confirmed that the men who ran them off the road were dead, and Jax had ordered that there was to be no blow back on August Marks, so right now Happy had no one to take his frustrations out on. He had still been pissed at Nicole for even thinking about aborting his kid without telling him, but seeing her in this bed, seeing the bump, his kid- their kid, his anger towards her had vanished however that didn't mean that wasn't angry.


Her eyes fluttered open and she tried to adjust to the room. Her mouth was dry and her body ached all over. Her mind was foggy, where was she? Now that her eyes had adjusted to the lights she looked around the room and that was when the panic set in. She had been in enough rooms like this to know that she was in hospital. She closed her eyes and the memories of the crash came crashing in.

She remembered seeing the two headlights hurtling towards Phil, she remembered seeing Phil get hit, she heard the crash of metal as the van collided into Pam's truck. She felt the fear all over again, and her thoughts went to one thing.

She jolted up in bed, which caused her to wince in pain. Her hand going her side. Tears springing to her eyes when she felt the warm liquid Nicole looked down at her hand. Blood. The baby.


She was still flat out, no change, so Happy decided now was a good time to take a leak and take a breath. He kept his time away from her side short but he was starting to get pissed off, so today he decided to take a bit of a break. He snaked his the smokes from his cut and started to head outside for a smoke but that was when he saw people running towards the room he had left moments ago. Nicole….Fuck.

Happy ate up the ground that between him and her room, however he was stopped from entering by the nurse that had been the one who had spoken to him on the first night. He looked down at her his eyes cold.

Like the first night she gave him a silent reassurance. He had known that she knew of the club and seeing her interact with his brothers that confirmed it, but she hadn't judged him or his brothers for the state that his girl was in.

"She's awake, but she freaked out. She pulled her stitches in her side. They are trying to fix that now." Happy heard her but his eyes were peering around her trying to catch sight of Nicole. "Now given…" The nurse realised that he wasn't looking at her she placed her hand on top of his. That gained his attention., so she continued. "She doesn't want to get sedated, that's not good for the baby." Happy started to give her his full attention now. He could hear the tone, she was trying to help. "You need to go in there, you need to calm her down so the doctors can do what they need to do." Happy nodded and he felt her hand release his.

Walking into the room he could see the doctors struggling. He pushed his way through them ignoring the stares. His hand came to rest on her cheek, and for the first time in what felt like a long time he got to see those green eyes.

He watched her body still, her teary eyes trained on him. The words lingering in his head You need to calm her down so with that Happy pushed aside every other feeling.

"Nic breathe…." He could hear whispers of the nurses behind him he ignored it. "You need to let these people help you…."

"Hap the baby.. I know I tried… but…."

"The kid is good." He said cutting her off. "But you need to let them help you." Nicole nodded and with that Happy moved out the way but not before barking at everyone to do their fucking job and help her.


Day 5 and Happy found himself sat in the Tacoma clubhouse chapel. Nicole had done as her told and let the doctors fix her. After a few questions about Pam, Lorca and Phil Nicole had told him that she wanted to leave. He hadn't argued with her, he was sick of seeing her in the place. When he had asked her Doctor he had looked at him and said that she wasn't ready. Happy didn't buy it, especially the way he had looked at him, so he sought out the nurse , the only one that seemed to understand the situation. He asked two questions. One if the kid was good enough for the travel, and two if his girl was. The nurse agreed that both should be fine if he had her checked out in Charming, and as long as Nicole suffered no stress. That was enough for him and he got Nicole to discharge herself.

Happy hadn't really wanted to go into the details about that night but now he wanted to one thing, why and how she came to be off the lot, which was against every instruction that he had given him. Lee had taken the full blame, but he had explained everything step but step, although unbeknown to Happy Lee had changed the part where it was Pam who suggested Nicole go with her to the store and instead said it was his call. Lee knew that his brother was angry and he didn't want any of that blowing back on his Old Lady.

The explanation hadn't helped Happy, he still wanted to hit someone, and when they all got up and existed the Chapel, Happy finally saw an opportunity to release some of that frustration.

At the bar stood Kozik junior. If he wasn't so obsessed with dealing with his grief over the death of his older brother by staring down a bottle of whiskey. Nicole wouldn't have gone off the lot. And that was the thought that went through Happy's mind as he lunged at him, dealing him a right hook that sent Victor to the floor, Happy didn't stop though and was on top of him where he dealt another blow.

Lee went to stop the fight but Lorca stopped him. Lorca had been wanting to do the same since the night of the accident and after the conversation they had just had Lorca knew that Happy needed this, and buy him taking out his frustrations on Victor this was what Happy needed to get passed what had happened.

Everyone's eyes were on Happy and Victor, who was trying to protect himself against the Killah's blows, until the delicate voice attracted everyone's attention especially Happy's when he heard his name escape from her lips.

Looking over his shoulder he saw her standing between Phil and V-Lin. She looked so small next to Phil. He watched her eyes go between him and Victor but she never said anymore. Happy returned his attention to Victor grabbing his face he lent towards him.

"Your grief almost got my girl killed. The girl your brother last words were to keep safe. Your pathetic. You endanger anyone else in this club, you'll be sharing the ground next to him. You understand me." Victor nodded frantically.

"I'm sorry." He managed to whimper before Happy got to his feet. He looked at his on President and they exchanged nods, meaning that everything was good.

Happy turned his attention to the two brothers standing either side of Nicole. "Take the bags to the truck." As they moved so did Nicole but she stopped when she came to Lorca.

Happy watched as she thanked and apologised- which he didn't like her doing as this wasn't her fault- to his old president and Lorca.

When all goodbyes were done they headed outside. Happy guided Nicole in the truck. Before heading to the drivers side he stopped via Phil. He was riding his bike back. Happy would never let anybody ride his bike but he also didn't want anyone else being in the truck with Nicole. So after he delivered the 'you damage my bike I will kill you' speech Happy climbed into the truck. He spared her a look and she gave him the slightest of smiles. Happy couldn't wait to get her home.
