Thanks for the reviews and comments and messages. I know one guest felt like the story wasn't true to character and that is true which is why it's a fanfic a/u lol these characters are who I need them to be in order for the story to work. There is going to be a lot of curve balls and webs of lies that are threaded into the story. I hope you all continue to send feedback because I really do like all of it! Good or bad! Enjoy :)

Hailey had made it home quickly, she recomposed herself in the car before she re-entered the home. Madison and Chelsea were watching a movie under a blanket fort, Hailey smiled before taking off her shoes and joining then.

Once she laid down, Maddie snuggled as close to her as she could. All Hailey could think about was what was best for Maddie, before she must have fallen asleep.

She woke up and it was dark outside, she looked over to her left and saw Maddie and Chelsea snoring away. She got up and made her way to the kitchen. There was a low knock on the back door, Hailey made her way over and looked through the curtain, seeing Damon she opened it.

"Hey there, did you call the fire department because they sent me over saying there was a desperate woman begging for assistance." Damon smiled before bringing her in for a dominating kiss.

Hailey pushed him back and looked shocked. "Hey! Maddie and Chelsea are sleeping in the other room!"

His eyes grew large and he walked toward her while wrapping his arms around her, "They sleep like the dead." He went in for another kiss and she let him. After a few minutes of making out like horny teenagers, Damon pulled away. "I gotta get back, I just wanted to say hi." He held her close to him.

"Well thank you for the hello." She smiled back. His pager went off and he kissed her quickly before leaving the house.

Hailey was fucked up. The noise in her head wouldn't turn off, and the nagging voice telling her she was a bitch for leading Damon on was yelling at her constantly.

Jax POV

His talk with Hailey hadn't gone as planned. Before all of this happened he was able to smooth just about anything over when he decided to be vulnerable with her. Now she wasn't buying it. He knew he would have to actually work for something. Fight for what he wanted.

After the epic blowout at the clubhouse he realized that his teenage emotional bullshit was destroying him. He knew he hadn't gotten over the heart ache Tara left him with but how could he let his insecurities and his need for a do over cost him everything.

He cut the engine to his bike after putting it into the garage. He hadn't been to the house in a long time. During his time with Tara the two stayed at her fathers old place. She didn't belong here, not in this house. This was the house he was meant to share with his family.

He had the prospect bring all of his things from Tara's place here. He needed it done fast or he knew he'd end up killing her after what she had done. He hasn't seen or heard from her in a few days so hopefully that means she got the hint and went back to Chicago.

He was back to square one. As he looked around at the furniture and the photos he could help but hope that some day the house would be filled with Haileys voice and Maddies laughter. He hoped that he and Hailey would have a bunch more kids and this place would be a mad house.

As he sat on the couch he thought about what he needed to do. It was time to right his wrongs and pray that he had one more chance to do his life right.

It had been 8 days since she met up with Jax. Each day he would come by and spend time with Maddison. Each day was longer and longer but Hailey didn't complain.

He would come in, take off his kutte, and turn off his pre pay. He focused all his attention on Madison and the little girl couldn't have been happier.

Hailey felt a little guilty that Jax was here so much, because Damon was adamant on her getting quality time with her dad without him there. Hailey felt Damon distancing himself but wasn't sure how she felt about it. Maybe this was a good thing. He could distance himself and she wouldn't need to actually acknowledge her guilt in the situation.

She was in the kitchen washing dishes and was lost in her own thoughts. "Is it alright if I put her to bed?" Jax's voice broke her trance and she spun around to face him.

"Yeah of course." She nodded her head.

He looked at her and she felt her belly tighten "You gonna join?"

Hailey nodded her head again and silently set down the sponge in her hand and dried her hands off. She followed him to the living room where he picked up Maddie and carried her to her bedroom.

"Daddy can you tell me a story?" Maddie asked when he laid her in bed.

"Sure peanut." He spoke softly while getting in bed next to her. They both looked at Hailey as if saying "why aren't you in the bed too?" So she got in on the other side of Maddie.

"What kind of story do you want?"

The little girl thought for a moment before looking from her father to her mother and back again "Tell me how you met mommy and loved her."

Jackson and Hailey locked eyes for a moment. "Baby what about.." Hailey was cut off by Jackson's voice.

"Well one night I heard this voice while I was at the garage and I wanted to see who it was... So I walked out the gate and guess who I saw?" He asked the little girl beside him.

"Mommy!" She said happily.

Jax nodded his head "Yupp, and I thought she was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. So I introduced myself and when I heard her voice and she shook my hand, I was done. I asked her if I could see her again and she said yes."

"Did you love her then?"

Jax chuckled, "I think I did but it wasn't until a couple weeks later that I admitted it out loud."

Jax looked toward Hailey and she was smiling at how intrigued their daughter was. "Mommy and I were at grandmas house and her and grandma started yelling at each other..."

"Really!?" Madison couldn't believe it.

"I'm not lying baby girl, they were yellin and then mommy dragged me out of the house and told me I was a mommas boy.."

Madison started laughing and so did Hailey. Jax wanted to save this moment to his memory.

"She called me a mommas boy and started walking home, so I ran after her and she turned around laughing. That was the first time I told her I loved her."

Maddie kissed Jax's cheek and then her mothers. She snuggled down into her blankets and hugged her stuffed sink am to her. "That was a good story daddy, you guys can go now."

Both adults made eye contact and laughed at their daughters sass. As they were walking out Jax spoke "She gets that from you."

Hailey held up her hands in mock offense. They made their way out of the room and Hailey made sure to turn on the nightlight.

She and Jax made their way down the hall and stood in silence for a moment. "I should head out, I told Clay I would run some errands when I finished here." He started to put in his kutte.

"I'm glad that you're trying Jackson." Hailey nodded her head and tucked her hair behind her ear. "Just... Don't make me have to tell my attorney to send the papers through... Please."

Jax walked to ward her and planted a lingering kiss to her forehead. "I won't." He turned to gather his keys and phone and reached for the door.

Hailey stood at the entrance and was watching him walk down the path toward his bike "You're wrong you know?!" She yelled softly at his retreating back.

He turned around with a confused expression.

"Your story... That wasn't the first time you told me you loved me. The night we were on the roof and fell asleep... You said it in your sleep. I just... Never told you."

Jackson smiled at her but stayed on his bike "I still love you ya know."

After a moment she have him a small smile, he had started his bike and she was sure he hadn't heard her "I'll always love you Jackson."

She turned back into the house and locked the door. She made her way to her bed and fell asleep instantly.

(One month later)

"What the hell Hailey!"

"Whatever, Damon I never asked you to come here. I told you Maddie has been spending time with him!"

"Yeah but I didn't know you were making sure to spend time with him too!"

"You're the one who told me you understood, you said that it didn't matter and that I had to do this because he is Maddie's dad. What the hell changed from now since then?"

"A lot has changed. We aren't the same. I thought I could understand but I can't. I don't get how you can still have feelings for someone like that! Is that what you want!? Should I treat you like he did and then maybe you'll feel the same way?"

Hailey shook her head. She honestly had no idea where this argument with Damon came from. He came by after work and started bitching about everything under the sun. It escalated to him throwing Jax in her face and only got worse from there.

"You don't know anything about my relationship with Jackson..."

He turned quickly and as in her face "I know more than enough."

He walked away and they both took some deep breaths.

It had been over a month since Hailey and Jax met up and he has been making major effort in being there for both Hailey and Maddie. Damon had been working a lot more and she knew he was stressed. But lately every time they were in the same room he would make big deals out of nothing.

"Hailey I love you, but I don't think I can compete with him anymore." Damon spoke softly.

Hailey stopped breathing. What did that mean?

"What? No Damon that's not.."

"Hailey it is true." He came up to her and cupped her face I'm his hands. He lowered his face so they were looking right at each other. "I'm sorry. You need to get your head straight. Figure out what you want and who you want because I can't keep doing this." He grabbed his jacket and left through the back door closing it with kore force than needed.

Hailey didn't know what to do. She knew he was right and she knew this was coming.

She sat on the floor and cried over her broken relationship. She cried because the guilt was to much, she knew from the beginning she should have let him go. But instead she broke his heart. She felt terrible. But she knew this is what needed to happen. With that she got off the floor and restarted her day.

The next couple days went by normally, Hailey took care of Maddie, and Jax came by to see her. He didn't ask about Damon but he could tell something had happened. She was grateful he was keeping his distance from the situation but she knew small talk would get old eventually.

Maddison was spending another day at her friends house and was sleeping over this time. Hailey had cleaned her entire house and was satisfied with herself, cleaning always relaxed her, almost as much as baking.

Just as she was about to head to her room for a shower she heard a bike roar down her street and stop in front of her house. She knew who it was.

She walked to the front door before he even knocked and opened the door. He made his way up the steps "Hey... You alright?" Hailey looked in his eyes and nodded her head. She was alright. She knew that her mixed feeling weren't good for Damon. He was a good guy and deserved better.

"Yeah I'm okay, what are you doing here?"

He shrugged his shoulders and made his way into the house with her following behind him. "You want some coffee?"

She went to reach for the mugs when she felt arms wrap around her and a body press into her back. She closed her eyes and relaxed at the feeling he was giving her. God she hadn't been with him in so long and it felt good at this exact moment.

She spun around and he locked his lips with hers. Her lower back was pressed into the counter and he picked her up by her thighs and sat her on top of it. He pushed himself in between her legs and she was lost in him.

After a while she gathered her thoughts and pushed him back. Both of them were panting and her chest was rising and falling rapidly. She wasn't sure when her shirt had come off or when she had taken his off "We shouldn't do this."

She closed her eyes for moment and when she opened them he was centimeters from her, his hands gripped the back of her head and smashed their lips together again. His calloused fingers expertly undid the button fly of her shorts and he quickly ripped them away from her legs.

She knew she was wet for him. He never had to do much work to get her going. She felt his fingers glide through her panties and she gasped when he made contact with her.

"You like that baby?"

"Mmmmmm. Fuck.."

"Tell me how much you want it."

"Mmmmm.." Hailey couldn't form words- she never could.

"Come on baby girl... Tell me."

Her fingers were expertly undoing his jeans and she was eager to feel him. Once she was inside she stroked his length and his breath hitched.

"I want you... Please." She panted. She needed him to make everything go away, she needed him to take her to that place. "Ugh!"

He gripped her hips and slid her closer to him and rammed into her and started pumping in and out of her. She was lost in their bubble, she couldn't form a single thought. She locked eyes with him and saw him smirk. "You gonna cum for me?"

She nodded her head and bit his lower lip, she could taste the metallic blood in her own mouth and he growled. They were both sweating and panting in the kitchen and she lowered her head to watch as he slid in and out of her. In and out, in and out.

"Ohhh fuck!" She was so close.

She lost control and felt herself tighten on him. He picked her up and slammed her against the kitchen table, knocking off the center piece in the process. He started moving his hips slowly as she came down from her high. Once he knew she caught her breath he began to pick up his pace. Hailey was in a state of bliss, she couldn't think when he was around her like this. So primal. So animalistic. It was always raw and dirty but they both got off on it over and over. She felt his large hand wrap around her delicate throat and she couldn't help but smile as her airways were constricted.

"God you're so fucking tight." They both were covered in a thin sheet of sweat and Hailey's panting was getting louder. She felt his voice close to her ear "I missed you" Hailey smirked "I couldn't tell" she replied sarcastically, she saw his smirk back at her before he began pounding into her relentlessly. The table was shaking with every thrust and when he through her leg over his shoulder she felt him hit her so deep that she almost blacked out. Both of them were so close. She was thrusting her hips up to meet his every move and her muscles were tightening.

"Scream for me, scream my name!"

Hailey shook her head in protest and shut her eyes. He grabbed her chin "look at me. I wanna see you when you lose control."

That was enough to send her over the edge and beyond. Her body completely shattered and shook with the shock of her orgasm. "Uhhhhh , fuck, Happy!"

He let out a growl and pulled out of her, her name fell from his lips as he came on her lower belly.

Without a word he gathered her up and lead her to the shower. They always had heart to hearts sitting on her bedroom floor in their towels. They were messed up but it worked for them.

After they had washed off and were newly dressed they sat on her tile floor. Hailey felt better. She has a clear head and was able to really talk to Happy about everything going on.

"Feel better?" He asked her with a full blown smile.

"You're such an asshole! But yeah... I feel better." She threw a small hand towel at him.

The first time she and Happy had gotten together was about a year and a half after Maddie was born. They had only hooked up a handful of times but she swore he had a sixth sense for her. He always showed up at the right moment and they would never speak of it again.

"Why don't you just talk to Jax?" He said while standing up and gathering his things to leave.

Hailey shrugged "I will eventually. I promise."

He nodded his head "I'll see ya around princess. Call me if you need anything, and lock the fucking door."

She laughed and stood up. She locked the door and went to sit on the couch.

She was so fucked up.
