I huge, massive thank you for your support and your absolutely amazing reviews. I LOVE them, but I'm sure you know that by now.

As for the questions I've had about the 'never's. There's only two left for him to break and one of them he needs to find out. He's not counting 'never get married' since she's already done that with Mark.

Chapter 12: Revolution

Another extra church, things were speeding up and they were coming closer to the explosion and they needed to take precautions. They were going into lockdown the next day.

"Ok, we're ready." Clay said. "And we're seeing the end of this shit. Oswald is standing by for his part so we got that covered. 9'ers?" He looked at Jax.

"On board. Talked to Lin this morning as well. He's contacts has got their part covered as well. They've sent us a shipment with their supplies." The guys around the table started to laugh.

Clay raised his hand, "You are not allowed to use them. They're going straight to Oswald for his little show and tell. Opie, where are we on the Mayans?"

"All set, I've got everything I need."

"Good. So, gents, anything else?"

"I'm going to have to take Alice out the day after tomorrow, or at least someone needs to, but I should probably go with her." Happy said.

"You better have a really fucking good reason for that Hap." Clay said.

"She's got a doctors appointment."

"She ok?" Jax asked. "I mean, I'm sure Tara could help her, that way she wouldn't have to leave."

"Eh, well..."

"Nothing serious?" Chibs looked worried.

"No. But..."

"If something is wrong with her you'd tell us, right" Juice asked.

"It's..."

"You're taking care of her I hope." Piney sounded annoyed.

"If you people shut up and let him speak I'm sure he'll tell you something." Clay finally said.

"She's fine, but it's an important appointment." They didn't need to know anything else. He quite often wished she worked anywhere but at fucking TM.

"We'll figure something out. It's going to take a couple of days before the shit really hits the fan. Worst case scenario you'll just have to move the appointment."

"Ok."

"Good! Be safe boys." Clay slammed the hammer and they got out.

Alice was waiting outside with Tara, he gave her a hug and kissed her on top of her head. Tara eyed him with a smile. He assumed that she had told her.

"Can you wait here a second? I'm just going to check something and then we'll be on our way."

"I have the car."

"Leave it. I can take you to work tomorrow." He wanted her on the bike with him, it didn't take a genius to figure out that she wouldn't be able to sit behind him on it in a few months.

When he got back she was standing next to the bike, waiting for him. He started it and she got on. When they had left the city he felt her hands moving and smiled. This is exactly why he wanted her on the bike with him. And when he pulled off on a small wood road he wondered if it was possible to keep a woman constantly pregnant.

Apparently, being pregnant didn't mean her general mood changed much or her willingness to do what he told her.

"I'm not doing that."

"Everyone is doing that, so are you. That's what a fucking lockdown means!" Why hadn't he just picked a crow eater, dying to be an old lady and doing whatever the fuck he told her too?

"I can stay at home, I don't have to go to Charming if you don't want me to."

"This is not a fucking discussion, this is me, informing you of what we're going to do."

"Fuck you!"

Alice was furious. No way in hell would she live at the fucking clubhouse for days, surrounded by bikers, their wives or most of all; the fucking Crow Eaters. Crow Eaters who probably ALL of them had been fucked by Happy. Not 24/7 for days. It was enough that she had to see them while she was working.

"Now you listen to me. There are major things going down, it won't be safe and there is no fucking way that you're not going to be at that clubhouse tomorrow morning."

"I won't be there."

Suddenly he walked up to her, grabbed her and looked her straight into her eyes. "This is not one of our usual argument about shit stuff. If you were any other bitch I would tell you to go visit the fucking Mayans flashing that tattoo if that's what you wanted. But that's my fucking kid in there and you and your ass will be at that fucking clubhouse even if it means I have to tie you to my fucking bike to get you there. Do you understand?"

She just stared at him. She hadn't really thought about that way and felt bad. "Ok."

"Good." He let go of her and walked away, rubbing his head. She took a few deep breaths and went after him. She found him in the bedroom, packing.

"Hap."

"What?" He said while shoving his clothes into a bag.

"What about the doctors appointment?" That wasn't what she was going to say but he wouldn't even look at her.

"We're keeping that."

"Sure? I can move it."

"No, we'll go and then straight back. It won't be a problem."

"Ok." She finally gathered up her courage and put her hand on his shoulder. "I know you have a lot on your mind. I shouldn't have fought you on this. I'm sorry."

He turned around and looked at her. "Ok." He gave her a quick kiss. "Pack up your things, we're leaving first thing in the morning."

Happy took the bike to the clubhouse and she took the car. When she arrived she was amazed at how many people that were there. When she got out of the car one of the new prospects, an Asian guy called V-Lin came running towards her.

"Hey, Happy said that I should take care of you."

"Eh, ok, I'll be fine."

"Well, miss, he told me to not leave your side, carry everything and if I slipped up he'd shoot out one of my kneecaps."

"That sounds like him. Ok, I won't make it hard for you." It wasn't the prospects fault so there was no point in taking it out on him. He wouldn't stop following her around until Happy told him to anyway.

"I appreciate it, miss."

"Please, if you're going to hang around I want you to call me Al."

"Sure thing, Al." He took her bags and followed her to Happy's room. "Were do you want them?"

"Just put them anywhere."

After throwing them on the bed he looked at her, this was quickly getting on her nerves.

"Do you know where Happy is?"

"I think they are in church."

They got out to the bar and she found Tara and Gemma sitting at the counter, just behind them was Phil and Ratboy. "I see you've got one too." She said with a smiled and nodded to the men behind them. It felt slightly better when it wasn't just Happy who was going overboard on this.

"Fucking Clay!" Gemma exclaimed and got up. "I'm going to the bathroom, you're not coming with me inside." She pointed at Phil who vigorously nodded his head.

Alice sat down and one of the Crow Eaters, a fake redhead came up to her. "Can I get you something."

"No, thanks, I'm fine." she took off. "Geez, are they going to wait on me here?"

"I could give you the Gemma-speach, but I'm sure she's going to do it anyway."

"About what?"

"How you've earned their respect by being Happy's Old Lady." Tara was rolling her eyes.

"This is why I had that 'never'."

"Do you even have any 'never's' left?"

"Two."

"Out of eight?"

"Yeah."

"He picked off five of them?" Tara knew about the 'never getting married'.

"Yes."

"Have to give him credit, he's good." Tara took a sip of her coffee.

"Shut up!"

"Are you feeling ok?"

"Yes. I'm just fine Tara, don't worry." She had a feeling that people would be asking her that a lot the coming months, it was quickly getting tiresome even though hardly anyone knew about her being pregnant yet.

"Are you still going to the doctor tomorrow?"

"Yes."

"Who are you seeing?"

"I don't remembered the name. Gemma gave it to me."

"Probably doctor Elizabeth Brahm, I had her, she's good."

"Sounds familiar."

"Jax asked me about you yesterday. They all freaked out when you had a doctors appointment." Happy had told her that, just before they fought about her coming here.

"What did you tell him?"

"Nothing."

"Thanks."

"Wish I could see their faces when they find out." Tara shook her head. "Big bad Killer is becoming a dad." Alice laughed. It sure was something.

Suddenly they heard a whistle and Clay got up on the stage, next to the stripper pole.

"Thank you all for coming." He started. "We once again have some business to take care of. You are all our family and we want you all to be safe so we're happy to have you here. This shouldn't take more that three days, four at the most. I hope you all are looking forward to the biggest friday night party this place has ever seen."

Cheers erupted and suddenly Alice saw Quinn standing next to Tig, he waved at her and she waved back.

"If you have a safety concern, talk to Piney, he will be here at all times and knows how to get a hold of us. A comfort concern is directed to my Queen and medical concern to Jax's Old Lady, Tara. I love you all!"

Alice went to talk to Quinn.

"You ok, Angelface?"

"I'm fine." Maybe she should just have it tattooed on her forehead. That would save her a lot of time.

"Hey, I know you. I know you would rather pull teeth with a pair of pliers than go see a doctor. So I'm going to ask you again. Are you ok?"

She gave him a hug and kissed his cheek. "I'm fine, just pluming issues."

"Tell him to give you a break now and then." He said and towards the end he smiled at Happy who just came up behind her.

"Tell her." He said to Quinn while putting his arm around her shoulders.

By coincident, Alice just then looked at the fake redhead crow eater who looked at Happy and gave her a look, full of hate. 'Goody, I guess I know at least one of the crow eaters he's fucked'. She wasn't looking forward to these there or four days of looks from other women.

Gemma was keeping her busy all day, helping with food, taking care of the kids and just making sure everything was running smoothly. She found Abel and when Gemma wasn't looking they ran off and hid in the corridor for a while. He seemed as fed up with all the people as she was. Fifteen minutes later V-lin found them and he had panic in his eyes.

"Oh God, I'm so happy I found you before anyone noticed you were missing. He would have killed me."

"No he wouldn't, besides, It's not like we left the building."

"Please, don't leave without me again." She suddenly felt sorry for the poor guy. Hap had him so scared, she would have to talk to him about this.

"Fine, sorry."

Around ten she was so tired that she wanted to cry and went to find Happy. V-lin was still following her everywhere. She had to admit; he didn't bother her and seemed to know when he should step back and give her privacy. She still thought it was an overreaction.

She found Happy at a table with some Nomads, Kozik and Juice, playing poker.

"Hey." she said and nodded to the people around the table. "I'm calling it a night, Hap."

He looked up at her and pulled her down to his mouth. "Ok, Katze. I'll see you later."

"Could you please tell V-lin here that he doesn't have to watch me while I'm sleeping."

Hap turned to V-lin. "You follow her to the room, make sure it's empty and that she locks the door. Then you come and tell me that all of that has happened."

"Sure thing." V-lin said.

She leaned over and whispered in Happy's ear. "You do know that this is kind of freaky? Telling some guy to follow me around."

He turned around and whispered back at her, "Just defending what's mine." Then he bit her in the ear.

"Good night everyone." Most of them answered and as she walked away, Juice screamed to her.

"Sexiest female Anime character?"

"Re-l Meyer, without a doubt. You?"

"Enma Ai."

"Aiming for the bad girl, should've known." She laughed and shook her head.

"And you just had to pick the kick-ass girl with the big gun."

"I like big guns."

Happy looked after her and saw V-Lin following her. That prospect better stick on her like fucking glue or he would shoot of his kneecap.

"Ok, she seems ok, I can breath easier now." Juice said.

"What?" Happy asked

"Just been worried."

"I told you she was fine." Why the fuck didn't anyone listen to him?

"Hang on, you ask her some stupid nerd question and then you accept that she's fine." Kozik asked.

"I told you, she's fucking fine." Happy tried again.

"You have your ways, I have mine, she picked Re-l Meyer, she's fine."

"You're fucking insane, you should see a doctor." Kozik said while shaking his head.

"Ok, for fucks sake, I told you; she's fine." Happy was getting seriously pissed.

"You should've just gone for a Crow Eater, seems like it would have been a lot less trouble." Waldo, one of the Nomads, laughed.

"Tell me about it." He threw some chips into the pot.

"Hey, she's our friend and it's not like you're keeping us informed. I worry about her." Juice said while glaring at him.

"He never kept us informed." Kozik threw his cards on the table. "Not even about the good stuff."

"None of you fucking business." Happy answered. "Ask her, she can tell you."

"I did, she just said she's fine."

"Then I guess she's fucking fine." He was fed up about people butting in on their business.

The prospect came up to Happy. "The room was empty, she's in there and she locked the door."

"Ok." He still didn't left. Fucker should learn to take a hint and know when to get the fuck out. "Anything else?"

"Erm, can I have a word with you, in private?"

"What the fuck! I'm out." Happy threw down his cards, got up and walked V-lin to the corner. "This better be fucking good!"

"You told me to keep an eye out for something that seemed, odd."

"And?"

"One of the crow eaters have been staring at her, and not in a nice way." The prospect looked scared and was moving his weight from one foot to the other the entire time. Happy was very pleased about that, not so pleased about someone staring at Al though.

"Which one?"

"One of the redheads", he nodded towards a girl behind the bar. Happy turned around and followed his line of sight. Shit! He had used her quite a few times just before Alice. Probably enough times for the stupid whore to think it meant something. She had been on him a couple of fridays but he had ignored her.

He looked back at the Prospect. "I want you on her tomorrow as well. I'll call you when she wakes up and I expect you to wait outside the door when she steps out of the room."

"Yes."

"And continue like you've done until now." He wasn't going to tell him he did good. But the idiot did. He had caught something that not everyone would. This was Gemma's business but he could keep an eye on that whore as well. He doubted that she was stupid enough to try anything, but she should show his Old Lady proper respect.

He caught Gemma's eye and waved at her. She came and he could see her eyeing Phil who was following her. "See you don't like your new shadow."

"Is this really necessary? Who's fucking idea was this?"

"Tig's."

"I'm going to hurt him for this."

"Apparently he didn't want a re-run of the last lockdown." Gemma gave him a very dirty eye but didn't comment on it. "Prospect! Back off a bit, I need to talk to her in private."

"Something wrong?"

"Turns out Al's shadow manage to do something right. Told him to keep an eye out for anything strange."

"And?"

"See that redhead behind the bar?"

"Yeah, Sharon?"

"Whatever, I... tapped her." Gemma turned and looked at him. "Before Alice."

"Good, I was wondering if I would have to start bitch slapping you in public."

He just glared at her and she met his look, daring him to say something. He didn't. This was the Queen after all and he kind of deserved it after the comment about the last lockdown. "Anyway, quite a few times."

Gemma turned and looked at the Crow Eater again. "I can see why, guess she could look like her if you're drunk and in a dark room."

He barely managed to hide his smile. "The prospect said that she had been eyeing Al today, and not in a nice way."

"What the fuck! Fucking bitch, I'll fucking claw her eyes out."

"Don't start anything now, Prez doesn't need that shit. Besides, I'm not sure he's right, but could you keep an eye out for me as well?"

"Sure will! Fucking whore, she needs to learn to show respect."

"Thanks Gem."

"Tell the prospect to keep tabs as well."

"I already have."

He went back to the table and a couple of hours later he slipped under the covers next to Al. When he ran his hand over her belly he felt it. Her stomach had always been flat, and it wasn't anymore. It wasn't much but he had touched her entire body enough times to notice even the smallest changes.

"Katze?"

"Hmmm?"

"You've got a pot belly."

She moved her hand down to his. "Shit, I shouldn't have that already. It's fucking twins. Or I'm just eating too much."

"I like it." He said, kissing her neck ans shoulders. When she tried to turn around he held her firmer. "I thought we should practice positions we can use when you get the size of a planet."

"Ohh, like this?"

"Mhm." He let his hand slip down in between her legs. "I think this is going to work for a long time." As she turned her head too look at him he caught her lips.

Alice was sitting in a chair at doctor Elizabeth Brahms office.

"Ok, I need to ask you some questions and it's important that you are completely honest with me." She picked up a pen and seached a pile of papers until she found the right one. "Do you smoke?"

"Sometimes, not since I found out."

"Good, don't smoke."

"Do you drink?"

"Not since I found out."

"Good, keep it up."

"Drugs."

"No, never. Not even pot."

"Good. Any medical history in the family that I should now about, problems during pregnancies, or anything else? Anything you can think of."

"Well, there's a lot of twins."

"A lot?"

"My mom's a twin, my granparents on my fathers side."

"Mostly identical, fraternal or both?"

"All of them fraternal."

"You're a twin." Happy reminded her.

"Oh, yes, I'm a twin. Oh, and I have cousins who are as well."

"Ok, I'm going to do an ultrasound on you today. Twin pregnancies are a higher risk and it's good if we know that from the beginning. It does seem to run in the family, to say the least, and you have inherited it from both your mom and dad." She smiled. "That way we would also get to know more exactly how far along you are. Any other symptoms. Fatigue?"

"Yes, I'm extremely tired."

"What else?"

"I pee a lot, and eat a lot."

"Nausea, heartburn, runny nose, anything like that?"

"No, I'm..." She looked at Happy who had a huge smile on his face. The doctor looked up at her.

"Yes?"

"I'm... aroused." It was the most proper word she could think of and Happy obviously couldn't help himself and a laugh escaped from him.

"Lucky boy." The doctor said and looked at Happy. "I was so sick my husband wasn't allowed to touch me for months. It's nothing to worry about, not that I think you did, but it's normal."

"Really?"

"Yes, change in sexual apatite is normal, can be up or down. I want to do and ultrasound to get a more exact date and also to see if there's twins, and you," She nodded at Happy, "Can sit on the chair next to her head."

She did as the doctor said, trying not to look at Happy who had the biggest smile on his face, probably still thinking about her using the word 'aroused'. She sat down at the bed and the doctor came and sat in front of her. "Pull up you t-shirt and open your jeans."

The doctor looked at her belly and smiled. "Ok, here's the gel, it's a bit cold."

She started to move something that looked like a stick on her belly and turned the screen towards them. "Ok, see that?"

"Eh, no, not really." Alice said. She didn't see shit and noticed Happy leaning towards the screen. "What? Do you see anything?"

"Trying to." He smiled.

"Here's the amniotic sac, the fluid, and this thing here", she pointed at the screen "is the heart."

And she saw it, a black circle with a white, fetus shaped thing inside it. A baby.

"And here," The doctor said with a smile and moved her hand, "Is the other one."

Alice couldn't take her eye off the screen, babies, two of them, their hearts beating, she could se it, they moved around a bit. Her eyes teared up and she looked at Happy, his eyes were huge and he didn't move them from the screen. She looked at it for a long time while the doctor was moving around the pointer and mumbled to herself.

"Well, I can tell you that you are 10 weeks along, considering this is twins, you're going to start to grow pretty soon, and a lot. Gemma told me you're a mechanic."

"Yes."

"I wouldn't recommend that you work for that much longer, twins are higher risk. You shouldn't lift anything heavy and there's also the risk with chemicals, oils and gasoline."

"But..."

"You're not working." Happy said, he still hadn't taken his eyes off the screen, he was holding her hand, squeezing it. She would get bored to death but she was not having this discussion here.

She turned her eyes back to the screen. "Are they fraternal?"

"I'd say they are. But it's not always possible to tell."

"Can you see what it is? The sex I mean." Happy asked.

"That's cheating!" Alice yelled and turned to the doctor "Don't say anything!"

"Do you want pictures?" she said with a smile.

"Yes!" Happy smiled. Still with his eyes on the screen.

"Does everything seem ok?" Alice was suddenly worried.

"Everything looks just fine. I'm going to keep a close eye on you through your entire pregnancy. Both Tara and Gemma have called me already, saying how important you are."

"She is." Happy said.

"I'm going to give you all my numbers, if there's the least bit concern, I want you to call me immediately. Both of you." She looked at Happy for the last part. "Any questions?"

"Giving birth, how, I mean..."

"It's hard to say yet, it depends on how they are positioned towards the end, but you should prepare yourself for a caesarean."

"Ok."

"And you need rest, any pregnancy is a toll to the body and twins is harder. If you're hungry, you eat. If you are tired, you sleep. And you," she pointed at Happy, "help her, make sure she doesn't overdo it."

"Absolutely." It was like throwing gasoline on a fire, Alice thought. He would be unbearable if people kept telling him to tell her what to do.

She handed two pictures to Alice who couldn't take her eyes of them. Happy leaned over and looked at them with her.

"Ok, like I said, call me, if there's anything."

Alice got up and put the pictures in a book she had in her bag. They said goodbye and the started to walk through the corridors in the hospital.

Happy held his arm around her shoulders and suddenly pulled her towards him and kissed her, holding her hard.

"That was fucking awesome. I just saw my kids." He had the biggest smile on his face. "Give me the pictures, I wanna see again."

She gave them to him and he eyed them carefully and then kissed her again and gave her one picture back. "I'm keeping the other one."

"Ok."

"Looks like your mom didn't get to take the first picture of them after all."

"I'll let her know." Alice smiled. "It'll kill her."

-o0o-

Happy spotted Clay coming towards them when they came back to the clubhouse.

"All ok?" He looked at Al

"Everything's fine." Al answered.

"Church in 30 minutes." He turned to Alice, "Tara and Gemma are looking for you, they're in the bar."

Happy noticed V-lin as he came running towards Al and taking her bag. He was doing really good. Not that he would tell him that.

"Looks like your Old Lady is taking that better than mine." Clay said.

"Yeah, she seems ok with it."

"Gemma doesn't take kindly to being followed, or me be overprotective."

"Can I have a word, Prez?"

"Absolutely."

Happy wasn't sure how this was done, he lit a smoke.

"The doctors appointment..."

"She is ok?"

"Yeah, she's pregnant."

Clay looked at him and even with the sunglasses, Happy knew he had big eyes. He probably didn't see that coming at all. Which meant that Gemma hadn't told him.

"Maybe I should ask how you are doing?"

"Good, your Old Lady talked me straight."

"She's good at that."

"She figured it out, something about coffee and shit, I don't know. Al didn't know either, she didn't want anyone to know, we weren't sure if we wanted to keep it."

"And that's when Gemma stepped in." Clay nodded with a crocked smile.

"Sort of, she was a big help."

"What did the doctor say?"

"We're having twins."

"Holy shit!"

"We knew it might be, a lot of twins in Al's family. Besides, she already getting big, noticed it yesterday."

"How far along?"

"10 weeks."

"Well, congratulations, dad." He said with a smile. "Sure your up for this now? I need you, but if you have any concerns, I'll talk to Tig."

"Don't worry. I'm up for this Clay."

"Bet you are." Clay gave him a hug and walked off.

Happy was ready for this. He had no problem with what he was going to do. Knowing that his Old Lady was with him, knew what he was, had made any hesitation disappear.

At the table, they went through the last details. They were ready, all of them and all hell would break loose early in the morning. He was almost looking forward to it.

"Anything else?" Clay asked. The slam informed them that the meeting was over.

When he came out, Al was holding Abel, dancing around and singing along to some song.

"Think your Old Lady can have a look at my bike?" Bobby asked. "Just want to make sure it runs smoothly tomorrow." Since the accident with Tig, Bobby had been extremely fucking anal with his bikes. And he should, shit like that shouldn't happen and tomorrow was a big day.

"Ehrm, well, she's not supposed to work." They all turned and looked at him.

"What! What's wrong with her?" Juice asked. "You said she was ok."

Clay just laughed behind him. "You better just tell them."

"Tell us what?" Chibs stepped towards him.

"She's..." How the fuck did you tell people shit like this. "...pregnant."

Their eyes were huge and their mouths were hanging open. They obviously hadn't seen that one coming. Jax was the one who managed to collect himself first.

"Even if she's pregnant, she should be able to work... I mean... you know."

"It's twins. The doctor told her to be careful, and with the chemicals and shit... I don't know." He was extremely uncomfortable and just wanted to end the conversation. As a saving angel he saw Gemma approach.

She took one look at them all and smiled. "I see you've had the good news." She turned to Happy. "Al said you had one of the pictures, can I see it?"

He cleared his throat and found the picture in his inside pocked and handed it to Gemma. The others were still just staring it him. Finally Chibs started to laugh. "Fucking unbelievable, but congratulations." He said and hugged him.

"Twins?" Bobby smiled. "Boy, you're in for a ride."

"All the best guys have twins. Sign of really strong sperm. A real man." Tig said and gave him a hug as well. "Al! Get over here."

"What?" She said while handing Abel over to Gemma.

Tig caught her and lifted her up. "You know, I've always wanted to be able to call myself the Godfather."

"Eh, ok?" Al laughed. When they all had hugged her congratulated them both she snuck into his arms. "I think that went ok." He spotted Quinn coming towards them.

"Yeah. Have you told Quinn?" For some reason the thought of telling Quinn had made him nervous. He had enormous respect for him and didn't want him to... he wasn't sure what, just not get disappointed or somehting.

"Yeah."

"And?"

"He laughed. Seems to be a lot of that going around."

"It's because you butt fucking crazy."

"Look at role model dad talking."

Quinn was just in front of them and gave Happy a hug. "Take care of my girl."

"You know it."

"So, how long before Anita fills up the car with cameras and come live with you to take a million fucking pictures?"

"She refrained to coming once a month."

"I'll believe that when I see it." Quinn laughed. "Take care of yourself girl, and rest. If they take after just one of you, you'll have your hands full. I don't even want to imagine what kind of a offspring your two gene pools will bring forward."

Happy was standing behind Opie as he set up the explosives. So far everything was going well but they needed to be done pretty soon if they were to be on time for the next stop in Lodi.

"Done?"

"Almost." He muttered something to himself and then stood up. "Done. Let's get the fuck out of here."

As they stepped through the door they saw Juice and Chibs come running towards them. "Move!" Chibs yelled.

Happy pulled his gun and scanned the area behind them. Three Mayans was behind them, they halted for a second when they saw him and Opie and he took the opportunity and fired. One of them fell and less and a second later Opie took out another one.

Juice turned and managed to get the third. He walked up to the bodies. "Not sure if this was skill or just pure fucking luck."

"Skills." Chibs said. "We were running towards Hap and Opie because we knew it would get them to hesitate for a second. Thats my story and I'm sticking to it."

The others turned their head to Chibs and then started laughing. It was the adrenaline, happened every time. Adreanline in combination with pure relief that one was still breathing.

"Everyone ok?" Opie asked.

"Yeah, all good." Chibs said. "Lets get these guys closer to the explosives."

They moved them inside, got into the van and headed towards Lodi.

When the next warehouse was rigged and the guards was taken out Chibs called Tig. "It's all set." He was quiet and listened for a while. "We'll be there in a while."

"They've got one of Alvarez men. They need us there." He said as he hung up the phone.

A while later they walked into an abandoned house.

"Hap, I need to know what leverage they have on Hale." Clay said and pointed at the guy tied to the chair. Happy just nodded, pulled off his cut and his hoodie while searching for things to use. It wasn't optimal conditions for doing this, but he would just have to deal with it.

30 minutes later Clay had the information he wanted. They had also found out that Alvarez was out of town. "Guess that was the fuck up then. That we didn't know that he wasn't going to be here. As long as it's the worst fuck up I can live with it." He pulled out his gun. "There'll be other opportunities to take him out."

Clay pulled the trigger and Happy went to clan himself up. There was banging on the door just a few minutes later. "We need to get going, we need to be at the clubhouse within two hours."

"What about him?" Tig pointed at the lifeless body on the floor.

"Get some of the Tacoma boys to fix this and then head home. They're not in the same need for an alibi as we are." Clay turned and looked at him. "You ok?"

He had never asked him that before, not fucking once and Happy didn't apriciate it. He stared at Clay to make sure that he never asked him that again.

Finally Clay threw up his hands. "Sorry man, no offense. Lets get going."

Happy threw the tank top he had been wearing on the dead Mayan. "Make sure they burn that." Tig nodded.

When they came back to the club house had a drink before going into his room.

Alice woke up when Hap climbed into bed with her. "Hey."

"Hi, Katze." He turned her towards him and kissed her. "Any chance I can get you aroused?"

She could tell that he had been dying to ask her that. "Asshole."

"You did say that you were easily aroused." he said while kissing his way down her neck. "Are you telling me you lied to the doctor?"

"Well what the fuck was I supposed to say?"

"Horny as fuck?"

"Shut up and do something about me being 'horny as fuck' instead."

He chuckled and kissed her, slipping his fingers inside her and she stroked his dick at the same time. By the time he slipped inside her she was squirming.

"Say it!" He whispered in her ear. He could never hear it enough, and frankly, the last couple of months she had liked to say it. It was true and she prefered it above the l-word. She saved that word for very special moments.

"I'm all yours."

He grabbed the backside of ther thigh and thrusted even harder. "You sure are." The slight pain of his hand and his thrusts made her moan.

"Oh my God, Hap!"

"Like that?"

"Please! Lips!" And he kissed her while she came.

While she was lying on her arm he lit a cigaret.

"You probably shouldn't smoke next to me you know." He just glared at her. "And you really should ease up on V-lin, he's terrified."

"Hey, no butting in on how I treat prospects."

"Ok! Sorry!" Very sensitive area obviously. "I'm just not that comfortable with someone following me around."

"It's just for a couple of days. Things got out of hand with some Old Ladies last lockdown."

"Ok. I'll be really nice."

Happy just raised his eyebrows and smiled. "That would be a nice change."

"Whatever." She turned to her back. "You can't be all over me just cause I'm pregnant. I'll be bored to death and if you keep hassling me I'll probably stab you just to have something to do."

Happy turned and looked at Al. She was right, she probably would. "Ok, I'll restrain myself. But I'll keep an eye on you so don't try anything. And V-lin is staying behind you until lockdown is over."

"Ok."

He put out the cigarette and then put his arm around her with his hand on her pot belly. His kids, it was fucking unbelievable. He fell asleep a while later.

The door was kicked opened, something he had expected. He turned around and saw Deputy Sheriff Cane.

"Get up!" He screamed.

So he did, but fucking naked since he knew that the asswhipe cop didn't think he would. He turned around to see Al trying to get out of bed while covering herself up.

"Maybe you could let her get dressed in the bathroom?" He said, pointing at her. The cop just glared at her and then moved his head in the direction of the bathroom, indicating that she could go. She picked up her clothes along the way and closed the door.

Happy could hear the other cops, kicking in doors in the club house. A few minutes later, Al came from the bathroom and Cane shoved them in front of him, when he pushed Al in the back Hap got pissed.

"Hey! Careful!" Cane didn't answer.

Alice was still just trying to wake up. Morning wasn't really her time of the day. Suddenly Happy was taken away by some other cop and Cane and a female police officer followed her into a room.

"We have some questions."

"Ok?" She tried to rub the sleep out of her eyes. "Can I have some coffee?"

"No. Why have you all gathered here?"

"What?" She was trying to win time, they probably knew but she needed to get her shit straight and they would just have to win this one.

"Why are all of you here."

"It's just a gathering, we meet up, spend time together."

"Why where you in Mr. Lohman's room?"

"What?" This one was on purpose.

"Were you his for the night?" The woman said with a scornful smile.

"Yes." Alice smiled. "I'm his every night."

"What did you two do?"

Alice sighed, this was going to be a long morning.

Happy was taken to the police station. He wasn't nervous, Al knew what to do. They had talked about stuff like this a long time ago. All they had to do was stick to the story and he would be out of here in a couple of hours, they had nothing on him or any of the sons.

"What did you and your girlfriend do?"

"We had sex, we talked and then we fell asleep."

"About what?" This was just a test, they would ask her the same question and she would tell them the truth. He was already bored, this was going to be a long morning.

When he came out from the station Al was sitting on the hood of her car next to V-lin. She still had his grey hoodie on, her hair in a ponytail and she was smiling at him.

"Can we go home now?"

"No, not yet."

"Ok."

"And you shouldn't be here."

"Just trying to do my job as an Old Lady, picking you up when you're released and all that."

"Come on smarty pants, back to the club house." He said while pushing her towards the car. He pointed at the prospect. "Next time I tell you to keep her at the club house you keep her at the fucking club house."

"Hey, she's like a force of nature, I either followed her or fucking shot her in the leg to stop her." V-lin said.

Happy just shruged, he had to give the idiot a point for that. She had a way of getting what she wanted.
