50.

Everything was going great. The club was finally completely free of any illegal business. The boutique was doing even better then anyone thought. The porn studio was lucrative and life was just good. There had been a little trouble between Tig and Happy once Tig realized that Happy and Sad were together, but Tig lost interest after he knew Sad would never come to him. To him there was so much more pussy he could have without all the trouble. Everyone was a little surprised that Happy seemed to be so domesticated. He hadn't changed how he was with the club but when it came to Sad all bets were off. Finally came the day of Sad getting her crow. He watched as Happy walked around with a never ending smile. Something none of them had ever hoped to see.

"So today is the big day huh?" Jax asked.

"Yeah." Happy said.

"You going to do it?"

"Ain't no one else going to touch her."

Jax chuckled. "So do you know what you are going to put?"

"Yeah."

Jax knew that Happy wasn't much for words. So he tapped his brother on the back and left towards the bar.

"Set me and Happy up." Jax said to the prospect.

"Just one. I want to be completely coherent." Happy said smiling.

"Okay then." Jax said as he held up his shot to Happy. Happy tapped the glass with his and downed it.

They sat there for a moment until they heard women walking in laughing.

"Well I think she's here." Jax said.

Happy finally turned to Jax and whispered to him. "How did you ask Tara?"

"Ask Tara what?"

"You know, um.. marriage." Happy said.

"Oh, I um.. well I used Thomas. I put the ring on his finger and handed him to Tara. She seen it and knew what I was asking."

"Oh, that won't work then." Happy said.

"Just ask her. No matter how you do she will be happy with it."

"You think?"

"Oh yeah. Just look at her. She's beaming for just getting your crow put on her. She would definitely be wearing your ring with pride."

Happy turned to Sad and realized that Jax was right. But he also knew that he wanted to do something special for her too. He thought about it and knew what he wanted to do.

He lay her down on the tattoo bed and made sure she was comfortable. Then he went to work on her. He took extra care in every stroke wanting everything to be perfect. When he was done he just stared at it. He was about to burst with the pride he felt knowing this woman loved him. He thought back to the day she told him she loved him and his heart beat faster. He leaned down and kissed her on her head whispering in her ear. "You want to see it?" he asked.

She lifted her head. "You're done?"

"Yeah." he said holding a mirror.

She sat up and went in front of the long mirror hanging on the wall. She held the hand mirror and turned so she could see it. Tears burst into her eyes.

"It's beautiful Happy."

"I love you Sadie." he said softly. She shivered when he said her name with such a caress in his voice.

"I love you too." The tattoo with the crow was beautiful it was almost like a generic reaper tattoo, but with a banner on the scythe stating "belongs to Happy Lowman.". She turned to him again and when she did he held a ring in front of him. "I want you to be Sadie Lowman, if you want to be." he said.

Tears filling more and more into her eyes she nodded and then hugged him so tightly. "I love you so much Happy Lowman and I would love to be Sadie Lowman."

"No more Sad for you babe."

"No more Sad." she said smiling through her tears and kissing him like she had never kissed him before.

They walked out for everyone to see her crow and he had tugged a shirt onto her that she could raise up for them to see. But that was all he wanted them to see.

"It's beautiful Sad." Tara said.

"Um.. It's not going to be Sad anymore." she said.

"What do you mean?" Tara asked.

Sadie raised her hand up and everyone gasped in shock except for Jax. He smiled that knowing smile.

"Oh I'm so happy for you two." Tara said bringing her in for a hug. Donna came over doing the same.

"So we have planning to do." Gemma said as she too gave her a hug and pulled the girls away from the guys.

"I didn't think you had it in you." Opie said laughing.

"Things change." Happy said with one of his rare smiles.

"Yeah," Opie said with a smile.

"I have a favor though."

"What's that?" Jax asked.

"I need Kozik to do a tattoo for me."

"I can have him brought back down for you." Jax said smiling.

"Thanks, that would be great. He's the only one I trust to make sure it's done right."

The following week Kozik was able to leave his own chapter and come down.

"Hey man, I hear there is something you want me to do for you." he said to Happy as he walked into the clubhouse.

"Yeah, did you bring what I asked you to?"

"Yeah. I just don't understand why you need so much yellow."

"You will. Come back to my old room." he said as he led Koz back to the room.

When Happy told him what he wanted he was in shock. No other brother has ever had something like this tatted on them.

"Are you absolutely sure?" Koz asked.

"Yeah, I am. Man you know me. But Sadie, she has my heart thoroughly. I can't even contemplate what I would do without her. So I want to do something for her that shows everyone exactly how I feel. Do you understand?"

"Yeah, I guess I do. Alright then, I guess we should get started."

Laying there while Koz went to work doing exactly what Happy had drawn he was lost in thought of his beautiful fiancee. He was glad he had the whole day since Sadie was with Tara and Donna on a buying trip for the wedding. Because he knew this was going to take the better part of the day. He ended up dozing off as Koz worked. His mind was dreaming about her and how beautiful she is. Then his mind got restless thinking of the man that Sadie had told him who seemed to be always in her store staring at her. He had talked to the guy and warned him off and Sadie hadn't seen him since, but he was still concerned. He woke up right when Koz finished. He sat up and looked at it in front of the mirror. His thoughts cleared as he loved how it looked.

"You did great Koz. I knew you would. Thanks."
"Anytime brother."

"So I would like to ask you to be my bestman."

Shocked Kozik stared at him. "You asked her to marry you?" he finally said.

"Oh yeah. I'm not letting her go." Happy said smiling.

"You know I will." Kozik said slapping him on the back as they hugged.
