Did I waste too much time? Did you make up your mind?
I wonder what you are like today,
And if I'll ever get to feel your face.
If I could go back I'd change a lot of things.
And I'd make a butterfly flap its wings.
I'd change our course, I'd change our time.
And who knows what things would have been like this time.

May 18, 2006 - Midday
Charming, California – SAMCRO Clubhouse

Happy paced the barroom, waiting for Clay, Jax, Tig and Chibs to come back from their run. He, Juice and Bobby had been told to watch the clubhouse until they got back. He almost didn't hear answer his phone he started ringing because he so deep into his thoughts. He didn't recognize the number but he answered it anyway, in hopes it'd be his girl.

"Yo, is this Happy?" The deep voice rang through Happy's ears.

"Who the fuck wants to know?"

"It's Red, SAMTAZ. We did runs together when I was in Tacoma."

"How'd ya get this number? What do you want?"

"Clay. I need to tell you some shit, man… Hanna Winston's been living outside of Tucson. I'm assuming she's yours, right? Piney's little girl? I saw her outside some house, saw the ink, figured I'd call."

Happy's heart flew into his throat. "What the fuck is she doin' down there? Yeah, she's mine." Happy looked around the room and noticed everyone was staring at him. They gave him concerned looks.

"What is it, brotha?" Bobby asked.

"I'm not sure, I told the club to keep an eye on her until we can reach out, so I guess you'll be making the trip down here soon?"

Happy grunted, trying not to show any emotion. "Yeah, we will. Don't let her know anything if you talk to her." He hung up the phone and looked at his brothers. "She's in Tucson. SAMTAZ spotted her a few days ago, she's living there with Veronica."

"Does this mean we're all going to Tucson?" Juice stood up, and walked toward Happy.

Happy nodded his head. "Yeah, I want it to be me, you, Tig and Kozik. Everyone else should hang back." Bobby and Juice nodded their heads. "I can't believe we finally found her…. After two fuckin' years. Goddamn…"

9 pm
Bakersfield, California

Happy sat on his mother's couch, flipping his burner open and close while she poured some tea in a cup and drank it. She watched him carefully, hoping he'd finally open up and explain why he was paying her a visit.

"Ok, son, out with it… Why are you here?" Jocelyn spoke up, setting her cup on the coffee table.

He looked up at her, fear was clear in his eyes. "Wanted to see you."

"Don't you lie to me, Happy! Out with it… Are you going to prison? What is it?" Jocelyn moved from her chair to sit on the couch beside her son.

He pulled his hand away from hers and shook his head. "We found her… She's been in Tucson this whole time… I told the Charter president to expect me and some of the guys to be down there soon."

"So what are you all bent out of shape for? Go pack a bag and get on the road, son… Your woman and daughter are waiting on you!" Jocelyn grabbed her son's hand again, squeezing it. "You're gonna stop that worrying, go get Hanna back and bring me my sweet Veronica."

He smiled, he couldn't help it. He knew how much his mother loved Hanna and he knew she was thoroughly pissed when he told her Hanna left him because he was a damn jackass and cheated on her. He made it a mission to come back to Bakersfield every time he stupidly slept with another damn woman. Jocelyn took notes of each time her son showed his face in Bakersfield. He always made his way straight to her house and she could've sworn that this visit was going to add another notch in his bed post but no, not this time.

She had only counted five times that he did it, five women he'd slept with in a move to get over the blonde beauty that he was so dearly in love with. Jocelyn loved Hanna almost as much as she loved Happy but this separation, the very thing that was keeping her son unhappy, was really starting to make Jocelyn upset about everything.

May 19, 2006 – 12 pm
Charming, California

It had been a day since Happy got the call about Hanna and he was finally ready to go get his girls back. He didn't care what he had to do, he was going to bring them home and that was that. Just because two years had passed didn't mean he stopped loving her or wanting her. He'd always loved Hanna Winston, nothing could change that. That man was in deep.

He hated that he'd missed two years of his daughter's life but that really wasn't under his control… Hap thought about his girls every second of every day, wondering if Hanna moved on and got with someone else. He wondered what Veronica looked like. It killed him to think about another man playing his role, he'd kill anyone that touched what was his, he didn't give a damn who it was.

He put his gun in his holster and added a clip to sit beside it; before he left the room, he gave it one more look. Knowing Hanna would've killed him for destroying the house the way he did, he was gonna make the prospects clean it all up and fix any broken furniture. He had no intention of coming back to Charming until he knew he had Hanna back. He knew he fucked up two years ago, cheating on her but that was his nature… To do whatever he wanted. He was more used to not having to answer to anyone instead of being with her.

He walked out of the house to see Juice, Tig and Kozik waiting for him. Everything was in order with Clay so they could ride down to Arizona. Sleeping arrangements were set up at the SAMTAZ clubhouse until they left. They were ready for the ride as soon as Happy was ready to leave.

May 20, 2006 – Around 12 am
Tucson, Arizona

Hanna picked up her sleeping daughter and walked into her room. Laying Veronica down in her bed, Hanna flipped off the light switch and walked out of the room.

She walked into the kitchen and started to clean up the mess her two-year old hellion made with her dinner. After she cleaned the kitchen, she had every intention to clean the living room from the mess of toys that her daughter left behind.

Every day, Veronica showed more and more signs that she was her father's daughter. She had quite the little temper on her if need be and it only fueled the flame with her having pieces of Hanna in her. Hanna thought it was amusing, seeing the clashing parts of her and her ex lover work so well in the daughter they shared truly made her smile and she couldn't dare to help it. Hanna had mostly gotten use to Veronica's terrible-twos. They were worse than people warned her about but she made it work, some damn how.

She continued to watch the show playing on her television as she cleaned up the toys and got situated on the couch. Trying her hardest not to let her thoughts stray to the men she left behind two years ago, trying not to think of the memories they shared and how much she missed him.

1 AM .
Tucson, Arizona – SAMTAZ Clubhouse / Automotive Repair

A party was in full swing as the four men arrived at the clubhouse. Instead of staying for the party, Happy got Hanna's address from Red and went to her house.

Arriving at the small brick house, Hap noticed the new vehicle in her driveway. He noticed how clean the yard was and he definitely didn't mean the little black power wheels Jeep in the grass by the porch.

Seeing some lights still on in the house, he debated with himself on paying his old lady a visit. But he quickly decided against it and just sat at the corner of the street, watching the house.

After about 20 minutes of him watching the house, the remaining lights turned off. He could only guess she was going to sleep, considering it was around 1:30 am and he knew she could barely ever make it past 2 am.

Instead of leaving once he knew for sure the blonde beauty had called it a night, Hap decided he wasn't going anywhere, he wanted to stay right where he was, watching the house until morning.

He was so damn close and as much as he wanted to approach the house, get his woman back, he knew it wasn't the best of ideas. He missed her so much and he just prayed to any powerful being that this would be an easy task and he could just take his old lady back home with their beautiful daughter.
