"Hey dad." Happy leaned over the baby gate leading to the kitchen and kissed his daughter on the cheek.

"Hey sweetheart. You want help?"

"Nope. It's already in the oven, just cleaning up."

Casper laid a hand on Hap's back as he climbed over the gate and grabbed a beer for his father in law. "Thought you'd be in Charming longer. Everything good there?" He asked Hap.

"At a bit of a stalemate. What's with all the baby gates?" Happy finally asked after climbing into the kitchen and seeing another blocking off the living room.

Gabby smiled wide. "Kristen started crawling."

Happy's head shot up and he walked towards the living room peering in at a content Kristen playing with a shape box. "When?" Hap had only been gone two weeks since his last visit. He had made the 2 ½ hour ride knowing he'd have to head back before sun up, but he missed his family.

"Yesterday morning." Casper answered and went to the door way next to Happy. "Kristen sweetie look who's here."

Kristen looked up at the sound of her father calling her name and threw the plastic star down she was playing with to come crawling to her grandfather.

"You crawling sweetie?" He asked her as he picked her up. She reached out immediately and grabbed the sunglasses out of his cut pocket. He laughed as they went directly into her mouth and didn't bother taking them back.

"I didn't think she'd be crawling so soon." He turned back to address his daughter.

"Neither did I. She scared me. Put her down on a blanket in my room while I got ready for work. Next thing I know she's gone. Found her in my closet throwing my shoes around." Gabby took the sunglasses out of her daughter's mouth and balanced them on her tiny nose.

Happy smiled at Kristen as she took the sunglasses back off and tried to put them on Happy upside down.

"That's a good look for you." Casper couldn't help but laugh at the image.

"One of you want to feed her while I serve this?" Gabby asked the men while pulling pork chops out of the oven.

Casper started to grab her but Happy shook his head. "I got this." He set her down in the highchair and grabbed the jars and spoon Gabby had set out.

"Alright sweetie you remember our deal?" Happy spoke to Kristen as she banged her hands on the highchair tray. He quickly fastened her bib on and pulled a chair out for himself. "I don't feed you anything disgusting and you don't throw or spit anything back at me."

"Chris, can we talk?" Happy was relieved to find the Fresno president still at the clubhouse this late at night.

"Sure Hap." Chris put down the paperwork he was going over. "Didn't know you were in town, thought Charming still had dibs on ya."

"Just stopped in, gotta head back soon." Hap chose to stand when Chris nodded to a chair.

"What's up Hap?"

"You should know first off I haven't talked to Quinn about this." Hap warned and Chris leaned back in his chair to listen to what he had hoped to hear for the last 3 years. "I'd like to patch into Fresno." He said firmly.

Chris dipped his head down to hide his smirk. "Chris?" Hap asked worried by the lack of response. "What do you think?"

Chris looked up with a serious face. "I think….it's about fucking time." He grinned and stood up to hug Happy. "Whenever you're ready brother, we'd be glad to have you."
