Author's Notes: There will be one more chapter uploaded today or tomorrow before the season finale Tuesday. Then we'll see where I take this since I've decided to try and be only slightly A/U through the end of the season.

Also In S02Ep12, the Tacoma Sergeant at Arms, who gets in Tig's face and asks if he's ok with this, his name is Kozik as per TV dot com and Kurt Sutter's blog. In case you're wondering where I got that from.

Thirdly, in case you didn't know, Ol' Skool Rodz is the name of the mag that David Labrava (aka Happy) writes for. So seemed only appropriate to use it.

And last, I've been going through all of Happy's scenes for inspiration and in various eps any time you see him with a chick, they're blonde everytime.

The sun had just started to set when Happy and Kate pulled up in front of the Fresno Charter's Clubhouse. A group of five guys were sitting around playing poker in the main room with several barflies hovering around; they all looked up when Kate and Hap walked in.

"Been awhile, Brother. You want in?" one of them asked Happy.

Happy just shrugged his shoulders, "Later. Where's your Pres at? Need to talk business."

"Should be back in thirty, had some other business to take care of. Sit down, have a beer."

Happy grabbed a chair, sitting down. Hap motioned for her to sit in his lap but Kate shook her head. "I need to freshen up." Happy pointed down the hall before grabbing the cards laid before him.

Kate came back a few minutes later and noticed the little mama walking around the table, with beers for all the men. When the sweetbutt came to Happy she leaned down, placing his beer in front of him, and tried to wrap an arm around his neck. Happy immediately pushed her away, but she wasn't taking no for an answer. This time she tried to crawl into his lap. "Come on, we had fun the last time you were here," she cooed at him.

Kate had had enough. She moved quickly to the table grabbing the girl by her hair and dragged her off Hap; letting her go head first, right into the floor.

Kate looked down where the lush lay on the floor clutching her nose, "Sorry sweetheart, you were sitting in my seat…."

Turning to Hap, she straddling him. Happy allowed Kate to dominate the kiss between them enjoying her attention. The sweetbutt shot daggers at Kate's back until she noticed Hap's tattoo. She blanched visibly, instantly realizing her mistake. Kate continued to kiss Hap, completely ignoring the little mama as she slunk off to lick her wounds.

"Jesus, I knew any chick who hooked up with you, would be just as crazy too," one of the others said shaking his head.

Happy didn't respond just ran his fingers up and down Kate's thigh, as they continued their poker game.

When the Fresno President walked through the door, he and Happy immediately went into Church to speak. Twenty minutes later, they both came out. Happy signaled for Kate to join him and moved to the front door.

Within five minutes, three Fresno Sons came out, loaded up their Harleys and waited for Hap to signal their departure. They rode out of the parking lot, Happy taking the lead.

It was less than an hour 'til midnight when they pulled back into Teller-Morrow. Clay and Tig were waiting for Hap when they walked through the door. Happy handed off their things to Kate. "Head to our room. I'll be in, in a few."

Kate was already in bed, dozing lightly, when Happy walked in to the dorm room nearly an hour later. He immediately stripped off his clothes and climbed in behind her. He brought his hands to Kate's waist and kissed her shoulder and neck insistently. Biting her neck lightly, he trailed a hand down from her hip to her thighs, stroking her. She moaned at the feel of his hands and mouth and tried to move closer, rubbing herself against him. Turning around to face him, she brought her mouth to his, kissing him hard. He soon took over the kiss and rolled them so Kate was under him, moving so he was between her legs. Happy teased her mercilessly rubbing his length against her until she was whimpering under him, her nails buried in his back. He entered her with a groan of his own and urged her to wrap her legs around him. Kate complied and allowed him to control their movements until she came, biting his shoulder to keep quiet. Happy followed her a few seconds later.

Happy wrapped his arm around Kate possessively as she lay with her back to him. He spoke directly into Kate's ear, "We're leaving before the sun's up in the mornin'. Then back here late, day after tomorrow. Get some sleep you'll need it. "

At five in the morning, the alarm on Hap's phone went off. He and Kate both got up and dressed quickly. They were on the road just as dawn's first light peaked over the horizon. With just a few short stops along the way, they were able to make it to Tacoma not long after dark.

Kozik and Ant were playing pool while Ronny was at the bar with a sweetbutt. Happy nodded to them in greeting before he took his and Kate's things to their dorm room. He tossed everything on the bed and headed straight back to the main room, while Kate made a bee line for the kitchen to grab something to eat. Kozik spoke as he waited for Ant to shoot, "Called the Pres' right after you called earlier, he's comin' from home. Should be here in a few."

Kate came back with a variety of snacks before heading off to grab beers from the bar, glaring at Ronny as she went. Happy caught the look and looked over to Kozik, who was leaning over the pool table to take a shot. As he angled up the cue, he nodded towards Ronny who had a black eye and a few bruises on his face. "Wanted to let you know I personally handled Ronny's ass kicking for trying to push up on your old lady before she left. Don't get me wrong Kate knocked him around pretty good before I got to him," the Tacoma Sergeant at Arms told him. Happy's whole demeanor changed, and he went completely still. Kate came back to the table with the beers, replacing Kozik's and Ant's. She tried to hand Happy his but he wasn't taking it. His eyes went from hers to Ronny, then back again.

"He touch you?" Happy asked menacingly.

"Hap I took care of it…" Kate was looking at Kozik for assistance but he just shrugged, grinning eagerly.

Happy grabbed her chin hard, forcing her to look at him, "He. Touch. You?"

Kate looked him in the eye, "He was drunk and tried to kiss me… I decked him. That was the end of it."

Hap let her go and pushed passed her. He grabbed Ronny by the arm turning him around and started beating on him until there was blood pouring from his nose and mouth. Ronny was no match for Happy and after throwing just a few punches of his own, he finally just tried to block the blows. When a deep voice reverberated from across the room Kozik finally put himself between the two, keeping Happy from attacking again, "You've made your point, Hap. That's the third beatin he's taken for this fuck up. I think the lesson's learned."

The Tacoma President walked up and glared at Ronny, "Isn't it Ronny?" Ronny only nodded.

"Why don't you make yourself scarce… Hap lets go talk." Happy followed behind him without protest, even though he was obviously still looking for a fight.

"Was it something I said?" Kozik gave her a Cheshire grin. Kate just glared at him before heading for the dorm room.

Kate had stayed up for awhile reading an issue of Ol' Skool Rodz that Hap had lying around. She finally decided to get some sleep and was taking off her jeans when Happy walked in, his mood still dark. He stood across the room just staring at her. Kate walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his middle, leaning into him.

"I can take care of myself sometimes, you know… Mad at me for not telling you?"

Hap just shook his head bringing his hand up into her hair, "You? No. I shoulda had you with me. Been neglecting you."

He leaned down and kissed her, using his grip in her hair to direct her movements. "When this is all handled with Zobelle, we'll look for a place in Charming or Bakersfield, closer to my mom. Don't think I'll be calling Tacoma home again for awhile."

"I can talk to Sherry and some of the other girls about packing up my place for me. They should do it, no problem," Kate gave him a small smile, "Hell they'll probably throw a party once I'm gone. I never really fit in with them. I'm a little too sarcastic for my own good."

Happy picked her up and tossed her onto the bed, climbing over her as she giggled. He kissed her roughly while removing the rest of her clothes. Happy did everything he could to make sure she screamed his name that night, knowing Ronny's dorm was right next to his.

In the morning, Kate found herself alone in bed. Checking her phone, she realized it was nearly seven. She reached over the side of the bed and grabbed Hap's shirt off the floor, her muscles aching from the time spent on the bike. The door to the dorm opened a moment later quietly, Happy walked in barefoot with just his jeans on, "I was gonna let you sleep for another thirty."

"Come back to bed then, I don't like sleeping alone."

Happy shook his head, "Can't, gotta talk to Kozik… And we wouldn't be sleeping, woman."

Kate sighed heavily, standing up. She walked to Hap, her hips swaying lightly under his t-shirt. She ran her finger along the dragon tattooed on his chest, then looking up at him, she reached up and bit his shoulder. Kate grinned at him before walking over to the pile of clothes, slipping on her jeans. "I'm up, I might as well be up. I think I'll go grab a shower while you're busy."

Thirty minutes later Kate walked out into the main hall with all of their things packed and ready to go. Happy and Kozik were nowhere in sight, so she made her way over to the kitchen, grabbing some coffee. Ant and Bob were each sitting on their own couch but both sat oiling and cleaning guns. Ant looked up as Kate walked back into the room, waggling an eyebrow at her, "You and Hap've been together since before I patched in. I was just wondering if you guys are ever going to get any quieter? You know, get out of the honeymoon phase… I think the entire Charter heard you screaming his name. Wouldn't be surprised if Portland heard you too."

Bob laughed, "Hap's just marking his territory, making sure that boy knows who she belongs to. Nothing wrong with that… Would you prefer he peed on the rug or something?" Then looking over at Kate, "Ignore Twiddledee, here. He's just pissed he can't get any tail as fine as you."

Kate just smirked, "You riding with us down to Cali then, Old man?"

"Yeah, me and Kozik. It was suppose to be Twiddledumb riding down too. But since your ole' man can't be near him without killing him, and I don't blame Hap for that one bit, Kozik's keeping him behind. Even without him we'll still have four Tacoma boys down since Loki and Tank headed down earlier."

Kate nodded thinking over this new information.

As soon as the Church doors opened, Kate headed over to Happy, handing him her coffee. Kozik grinned at her, his blonde hair spiking at weird angles, "Looks like we're all going on a road trip, Kitten." He patted her shoulder. "Bob, outside in ten," Kozik called over his shoulder as he went back to the dorms.

Kate motioned to the bags by the door, "I packed up everything after my shower. We're ready to go. We still heading over to the apartment before we leave Tacoma?"

"Not enough time," Happy opened the door for Kate, grabbing their things as he went.

Fifteen minutes later, the three Harley's were pulling out of the parking lot. Kozik leading the formation.

They had been joined by three more riders in Portland and then a couple of Nomads in southern Oregon and Northern Cali. When they reached Teller-Morrow around midnight, the group of Harley's had increased from three to ten.

As they got off the bike, Kate looked around immediately noticing the Sons patrolling the roof and lot with heavy firearms, and the increased number of cars and bikes in the lot. She gave Happy a questioning look, "Hap, what's going on?"

Before answering he brought her closer, tucking her under his arm as they walked to the door.

His gravelly voice spoke directly into her ear, "Lockdown."

Please, please, please please review. I started this for myself but I've totally turned into a review whore.
