Author's Note: So I absolutely apologize for the long delay with updates. I've been overly busy with getting things ready for summer since I'm still helping my father out. I will try to figure out a updating schedule so there isn't too much of a wait. Thank you all for being so patient with me.

Charlie and Gemma were doing last minute shopping for Christmas Eve dinner, almost too early for Charlie's liking. Gemma had insisted that if they went to the grocery store earlier than normal, they wouldn't have to deal with the crowds of last minute shoppers.

"Didn't we just go to the store like three days ago to avoid having to do this?" Charlie questioned with a tired sigh.

"Yeah, well I ended up forgetting a few things. I saw some new things I wanted to try out. Can you go get me two cartons of eggs?" Gemma questioned as she looked at her list.

Charlie gave her a nod and walked out of the spice aisle they were standing in and went towards the back of the store. The young brunette was exhausted, she had been dealing with a cranky boyfriend ever since she had told him about Luann offering her a job on Cara Cara's website. Even though she had told him that she wasn't interested in it, it didn't stop Happy's jealous side coming out. Usually she could handle the different sides of the tattooed man, but it was like he had gotten some of her pregnancy hormones and she couldn't take much more of it.

Happy's sex drive was over the top majority of the time, but since she had brought up Cara Cara, he had went way over board. She never intended for him to take it seriously, Charlie personally thought it was just funny and figured Happy would joke about it. But now she could barely walk without feeling pain between her legs. She had finally to put a stop to his advances saying that she needed a break because she was hurting from the constant encounters.

Not realizing that she was standing in front of the egg selection, Charlie heard her phone ringing in the pocket of her jacket and knew that it was her boyfriend based on the ringtone.

"Hello?" Charlie answered once she dug the phone out.

"Hey, when you get back, do you want to go get breakfast?" Happy questioned, "I know Gemma was at the house before you could eat..."

Charlie let out a little laugh, "That would be fine, I think we're almost done here anyway."

"Figured I owe you an apology too, I've been a little nuts the past couple of days." Happy explained shortly.

"Hap, it's fine...I know how you work majority of the time. I've just been all over the place with hormones..." Charlie glanced down towards the end of the aisle to see Gemma approaching with the cart and a man a few feet in front of her and narrowed her eyes, "Baby, let's just talk when I get home, we're wrapping up here so I won't be much longer."

"Alright, see ya soon."

Charlie didn't bother to respond and noticed that the man looked overly familiar, and could tell by the way he was looking at her that he knew exactly who she was. She wasn't surprised that Gemma furrowed her eyebrows at the man.

Charlie narrowed her eyes as the man stopped in front of her as she got the two cartons of eggs and tried to move to Gemma's cart.

"May I help you?" Charlie questioned.

"I believe that you are Charlie Trager?" The man questioned.

"Who are you exactly?" Charlie questioned back, not giving the man a direct answer.

"I am your mother's husband. My name is Tim Johnson." The man explained briefly.

"It's nice to put a name and a face to someone that's so interested in getting into contact with me." Charlie commented and saw that Gemma was moving to stand beside her, "But the thing is Tim, I believe the moment your wife found out that she was pregnant with me, there was a rule that was set in place for me to not contact her which I assume extended over to you as well. So please, tell me why after you both agreed that neither of you would contact me and vise versa, why are you standing in front of me in a grocery store at six thirty in the morning?" Charlie questioned.

Tim looked a little taken back by Charlie's response but stiffened up his back a little and narrowed his eyes before speaking.

"Well then, your mother and I have a son who is very sick..." Tim started out but Charlie cut him off.

"The thing is Tim, that woman is not my mother. She may have given birth to me, but this woman..." Charlie pointed to Gemma who was next to her with a hand on her hip, "This is my mother." Charlie added, "So please, cut the bullshit and tell me what you want from me." Charlie knew what he wanted, but she wanted to her it from the man herself.

"He...our son needs an organ transplant. Neither myself or my wife are matches, and the doctor suggested we try our extended family to see if there are any matches." Tim explained.

"Sorry, but I am not able to help." Charlie stated simply and tried to walk away but Tim's hand grabbed ahold of Charlie's wrist.

"He is your family! What kind of person are you for not wanting to help your brother?!" Tim nearly shouted, "It's one test to see if you are a match!"

"I suggest you do not touch me again." Charlie sneered and yanked her arm out of Tim's grasp, "I do not know you, your son, or your wife. I am not putting my unborn child at risk for people who made a choice the moment I was born to have nothing to do with me." Charlie growled lowly, "I'm sorry that your son is sick, but I'm not helping. I hope that you are able to find a match through another family member." Charlie added and decided to walk away.

The young brunette figured that Gemma would be right behind her, but when she didn't hear the sound of the Queen's heels she turned around to see her close to Tim's face.

"I suggest you get the idea of Charlie helping out of your mind because it will not happen. If I so much as catch you in this town again, I will make your life a living hell and I will take so much pleasure in doing so." Gemma sneered lowly and left Tim standing with his mouth hanging open slightly.

Charlie had been absolutely furious as she stood in like at check out with Gemma, and then the moment she saw the man leave after shooting her an evil glare, she began to rant about the man and his request.

"That no good son of a bitch..." Charlie growled as she pushed the front door to her home open with Gemma following behind her, "Who the hell does he think he is asking me something like that, and the fact that he refers to that woman as my mother?!" Charlie shouted.

Gemma wasn't surprised that Happy came rushing out of the back room at the sound of Charlie's rants with narrowed eyes laced with concern.

"What the hell is she talking about?" Happy questioned, "What happened?" Happy added.

Charlie began ranting so fast that Happy could only catch every couple of words, and then turned to Gemma for actual answers.

"That idiot Tim Johnson decided to pay a visit to Charlie in the grocery store. She basically told him off pretty damn well, but I think she's pissed about the fact that since that bitch gave her up and wanted her to not contact them, then they go around and contact her because they need something..." Gemma began to explain.

Happy glanced to Charlie who was pacing in the kitchen grumbling to herself. He knew that she would never say that she was upset over the fact that her birth mother gave her up, but he knew that she was. The fact that her birth mother wanted nothing to do with her since she was born, and now they are trying to get into her life for a short time, he was hurting for her.

"I got it from here." Happy stated not taking his eyes off of Charlie as he spoke to Gemma, "We'll be at the house tomorrow after I go get my Ma." Happy added.

The tattooed man waited until Gemma had left the house in order to approach the kitchen where Charlie was bracing herself against the counter with her head down.

"Babe..." Happy approached slowly and put his hands on her hips to turn her to her to face him. He looked down at her and noticed that tears were building in her eyes, "What can I do?" Happy questioned taking one hand off her hip to cup her cheek.

Charlie shook her head and gained her composure, "There's nothing that can be done Hap. I just want him to not contact me again. I feel bad for their kid, but I'm not putting our child at risk for a test for people I don't even know. For people who didn't want me..." Charlie whimpered, her bottom lip trembling.

Happy wasted no time in wrapping his arms around her and allowing her to put her face into his chest. His large hand went to the back of her head and tangled his fingers into her hair. He had decided to let her get her emotions out before he spoke. Once Charlie had pulled away from him and wiped her cheeks, Happy gave her a soft smile.

"How do you want to handle this?" Happy questioned cupping her cheeks and using the pad of his thumbs to wipe the remaining tears off, "I don't want him upsetting you like this again." Happy added with a low growl, "I can handle it or you can go to Unser or Hale and have one of them tell him to stay the fuck away from you."

"When you say you can handle it, does that involve a shovel and a shallow grave?" Charlie questioned quietly looking up to the man and watched as he shrugged his shoulders, "I'll talk to Hale or Unser, see if they can help. I prefer to not have you get arrested for murder." Charlie added.

Happy gave a nod, knowing that Charlie was right. If he killed Tim Johnson, it would be a matter of time before his wife showed up asking questions, and it wouldn't take a rocket scientist to know what happened to him. He leaned down to kiss her forehead.

"Let's go to breakfast and then go get your mom." Charlie commented, "I don't want that idiot to ruin our holiday. I just...I just want to spend time with you." Charlie added.

"Whatever you want." Happy commented back, "Got to let the dogs in and lock up. I'll be ready when you are." Happy added and watched the brunette nod her head and disappear out of the kitchen to freshen up.

A/N: I know it's not overly long, but I wanted to get something out for you guys. I will try to update the other stories sometime today. Like I said before this all takes place before the club drama. Also, I will try to think of an update plan so you all don't have to wait so long for the next chapter.
