...Chapter 4...

"What's going on?" Tig asked, walking up to Nicole and Jax, with Happy and Kozik behind him. "And why the hell are you crying, Nicole?"

She wiped her eyes. "Shut up, it's nothing... damn."

"Nothing!" Jax yelled. "It's not just nothing."

"You said you wouldn't say anything."

"Well, I didn't promise and this is beyond serious."

"What?" Tig asked. "What is it?"

Nicole glared at Jax. "You say a word and I'll never forgive you."

"I'm sorry, Nicky... but I have to."

"What the fuck ever, asshole." she glared at him, then she stormed out of the clubhouse.

"What the fuck is going on with my sister?" Tig demanded.

Jax ran his fingers through his hair, trying to contain his anger, but Nicole was right, he was pissed off, and he was going to call a meeting. "Just forget about it until tomorrow."

"No... I want to know why she's upset."

Jax looked at Tig and nodded. "Okay, Nicole just told me who Riley's father is."

Kozik swallowed hard, then asked "So... who is it?"

"She said it was Hobart." their eyes widened and their jaws dropped to the ground. "And the way she sounded, I think he raped her, because I know there is no way she'd ever get with him." Jax looked over at Kozik. "She also said that she was with you at the time it happened."

Tig's eyes darted towards Kozik. "And I bet you thought that my niece was yours, right?"

"At first."

"And that's when you thought she was cheating on you with me and Ry looked nothing like me either, but you ended up hurting her for no reason." Happy shook his head. "You're a fucking idiot." then Happy walked outside, looking for Nicole, and found her on the picnic table with her head down. He slowly walked up to her and when he touched her arm, she flinched. "It's just me."

"Sorry."

He sat down and put his arm around her. "You have nothing to be sorry for." she nodded, as she held on tight to his cut. "Why didn't you say anything?"

"So he did tell you?" she slightly shook her head. "Damn it."

"Don't get pissed at Jax... if he wouldn't have told me, I woulda got it out of you... one way or another." Happy paused, then lifted Nicole onto his lap, and wrapped his arms around her as she put her head in the crook of his neck. "How come you didn't say anything?"

"I don't know." she shrugged. "I thought if I told anyone, he'd come after me again, and hurt me or something."

Happy backed up to look at her and held onto her chin, gazing into her eyes. "He never would have came near you, if you were with me."

"Well, even though the guys had him ex-communicated, he still found ways to either talk to me or go where ever I was, and bug me." she put her head back in the crook of his neck. "And it finally stopped after he saw my stomach getting bigger."

"Does he know about Riley?"

"I don't know... but I think he thought Kozik was the father."

Happy shook his head. "I'm gonna fucking kill him... did you know that he tried to get back into the club by buying us back?"

"Seriously?"

"Yep, but Jax and Ope saw the Reaper on his back and Clay asked Kyle, if he wanted fire or knife."

"And he chose?"

"Fire and Tig is the one that burned it off."

"Good... that dumb son of a bitch deserved it."

"Yep, and when I see him again, I'm gonna kill him... very slowly." Happy paused. "So, Jay... don't be pissed off at Jax for telling us." Nicole looked at him with her eyes wide. "What?" he asked. "You think I forgotten the nickname I gave you?"

"Well, yeah." she nodded.

"Not a chance, Babe... everytime I saw a blue jay flying around, I thought of you." he groaned as Nicole had the biggest smile. "Fuck, that makes me sound like a pussy."

"No, it don't." she shook her head. "It's sweet."

He glared at her. "Don't you dare tell anyone."

"My lips are sealed."

A few minutes later, Jax, Juice, Tig, and Kozik walked outside and over to them. Kozik was glaring at Happy, seeing Nicole sitting on his lap and in his arms. "What's going on?" Tig asked, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Nothing." Nicole shrugged. "Happy and I are just talking."

"Are you still gonna talk to me?"

She looked over at Jax and nodded. "Sorry... I didn't mean to blow up at you like that, it's just been a long day, and I'm drained." she got off of Happy's lap and gave Jax a hug. "I'm sorry, okay?"

"It's fine, Nicky... just don't worry about it." she backed up and nodded. "We'll find him and get him for what he did to you."

"No, I got this." Happy raised his hand.

"No, let me get him."

Tig glared at Kozik. "Like you've ever killed anyone, you're a little bitch."

Nicole shook her head at the guys arguing back and forth. "Enough!" she yelled. "How 'bout all of you do whatever it is you do with him... just stop fucking fighting." they all looked at her in shock, then she turned her attention to Jax. "I wanna just go home and go to sleep."

"Okay." he nodded.

"I'll go get Ry." Happy said, before walking back into the clubhouse, and Nicole noticed Kozik rolling his eyes.

"I'll get Crystal and we'll follow you."

Okay, but Jax? Who am I riding with?"

"Kozik will take you."

"Hell no!" Tig yelled. "If she's going with anyone, she'll go with me."

"In any other situation, she would." Jax shrugged. "But Clay needs you here."

Tig got in Kozik's face. "You better keep your hands off my sister." Kozik just chuckled and winked at Nicole, and walked away to his bike, then Tig looked at Jax. "I'm gonna kill him."

Nicole gave Tig a hug. "No, you won't Tig.. you're full of shit."

"I'll do it."

"Just leave him alone, damn." Nicole kissed him on the cheek. "I love you."

"Love you too, Sis."

She gave Juice and Jax a hug, then walked over to Kozik and his bike. "Hey you." he smiled. "You're riding with me."

"Yeah, I know." she nodded.

Kozik waited until Tig went back into clubhouse, then he reached out and grabbed her hand pulling her closer to him. "I'm sorry, all of that happened to you, if I had known..."

Nicole put her finger to his lips. "Don't blame yourself... I don't want any of you to blame yourselves. This wasn't any of you... it was Kyle, so stop blaming yourself, Koz." she shrugged. "I think I would have happened regardless, no matter if I was with you or Happy."

"But still... he's dead."

"I know." she climbed on the back of his bike. "But I don't want Riley to know anything about him."

"It would be best if she didn't." he nodded, then turned his head around to look at her, and grazed his fingers on her cheek. "You're so beautiful."

"Thank you." she nodded.

Seconds later, Happy came out with Riley in his arms, and carefully got on his bike, glaring at Kozik. "Jax gave me the keys, he's staying for a while."

"Okay." she told him, then Koz turned around. "Is Riley gonna be okay on the bike with you?"

"She'll be fine." Happy nodded, fixing her so she was sitting right. "We do this all the time."

"Oh... good to know."

He chuckled as he started his bike, then took off. Kozik shook his head and started his bike a few seconds after. "Hold on tight." he told her before taking off, behind Happy and Riley.
