XOXONATALIE

As Natalie was getting ready for Donna's funeral that she helped put together, she couldn't help but let her mind start to wander. Yeah Happy had taken her to the view point to release everything she was feel, then to meet his mom who she absolutely loved; and also loved his aunt, but she still couldn't wrap her head around the fact that someone murdered an innocent woman. Donna was a kind and caring person who only deserved the best, and Natalie started thinking that if someone could murder Opie's wife, then she could only imagine what worse could happen to her since her brother is known around the charters as an enforcer and assassin just like Happy is. She was definitely in danger then since in her opinion Opie really didn't have an enemies like Happy or her brother did. She knew in her heart that it wasn't the Niners who murdered her friend. She loved Happy and was glad they decided to work things out, but was she willing to risk getting killed for him or worse their child coming into the world to only get killed as well? She shakes her head knowing full well the answers to those questions, and mentally slaps herself for even doubting her love for Happy. I mean he has two smiley faces which she tattooed on him that represent kills that he made for her. She had her suspicions on who was behind the kill since Miguel and Romeo were taken care of, which leave Gogo who was president of the Nomads. It pissed her off that no one has done anything about it since everyone knows he is a rat.

Happy was watching the woman he loves get ready for the funeral and he could tell she was thinking. He knew that she still wasn't over Donna getting killed and that it hit home for her since those two had gotten close. He had to give it to her though she was keeping herself together pretty well. They had their arguments which was always about the same thing, who killed Donna. He saw her point and where she was coming from but Opie had already gotten his revenge so it was over and done with. If you were to ask him for his personal opinion he had to side with his queen in some way because when he had gotten a call from Dwayne confirming their whereabouts the night she was murdered, it made sense to what Natalie had said. He also didn't want to piss her off since she had went off on not only him, her brother, Eva, Gemma, Luann, but also on Clay for thinking she was lying. He goes up behind her, "You ready little quinn?"

She nods standing up turning to face him and stands on her tippy toes giving him a kiss, "Yeah."

He can sense something is wrong so he asks, "What's wrong?"

She shrugs, "I just don't got a good feeling is all."

"About?"

"Everything about today just feels like something is going to go wrong," she says softly.

He laughs a little, "Between yours and Gemma's planning I don't see anything going wrong."

She chuckles a little shaking her head, "Don't see why everyone is scared of Gemma or as Eva likes to point out scared of me."

He raises a brow, "Do you blame them?"

"Not really," she says smiling softly, "anyways let's just go."

He knows funerals aren't really her thing so he wraps his arms around her as they walk over to the clubhouse and he whispers in her ear, "Did I mention how beautiful you look?"

She shakes her head, "No but thanks."

He meant it too his old lady looked beautiful in the black short semi long back sheer tank dress with some gold skinny belt and black pumps, he didn't understand how she could even walk in those high of shoes. As he was going to head over to the guys he gives her a kiss on the lips says, "You're riding with one of the ladies to the funeral."

She rolls her eyes walking away saying, "Anything else master?"

He chooses to not say anything not wanting to piss her off and cause a scene in front of the charters. Natalie was walking towards Tara when she heard, "Hey Natalie" turning around she sees Gogo.

Putting on a smile she says, "Hey Gogo, how are you?"

He nods checking out his former president's little sister who he's met only once before but looking even better than he remembered, "I'm good and you? Staying out of trouble?"

She starts getting uncomfortable with the way Gogo is staring at her and how his question came out, but felt safe knowing that she has a lot of people around. "I should be asking you that question," she says with a little more attitude then intended.

"Still the spoiled brat who uses her big bad brother for help," he laughs.

She gets pissed and spats back rolling her eyes, "And you're still a big ass baby who whines and complains about everything." She starts walking away when he grabs her arm and yanks her back with more force then intended causing her to stumble and fall. On instinct she moves protects her stomach.

Happy was talking to Tig and Quinn when he saw his old lady being approached by the Nomad President Gogo, knowing she could handle herself he didn't feel the need to get involved. He noticed her getting uncomfortable, and the moment he saw Gogo grab her arm a little too rough he snapped. On instincts he kneels to check on Natalie, "You okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine," she says getting up and dusting herself off.

He is concerned and says only so she can hear, "The baby alright?" since she hasn't told anyone in the club.

She nods, "Yeah I protected my stomach as I stumbled," she says patting his chest going straight to Tara and Eva.

Happy looks at Gogo glaring at him, "The fuck you think gives you the right to put your hand on my old lady?"

Gogo was never afraid of Happy but feared the Killer which was slowly starting to show but he wouldn't back down, "She should learn to keep that mouth shut before it gets her in worse shit."

Happy steps closer slowly, "You threatening her now? Cause if you are and something happens to her I will find you and kill you myself."

Gogo meets Happy halfway, "Is that a threat?"

Happy shakes his head stating calmly almost chilling, "No it's a fucking promise."

Before a fight could break out between the two they hear Gemma say in her no nonsense tone "Alright you two enough, save it for the ring later but right now we got a funeral to attend to."

Happy glares at Gogo as he goes to his bike and sees Natalie, Eva, Tara, Lana getting in Gemma's Navigator.

The funeral was over and after burying Donna as they all walked to their cars and bikes a black van pulls up and starts firing. Natalie drops down and on instinct Happy shields her. After they hear no more shooting they look around and see that David Hale was hit, but what Happy almost wished he didn't see was that Natalie's best friend Eva was hit as well. Happy helps Natalie up and looking around she sees her Eva lying on the ground holding her side. She screams for her but is held back as she moves to run to her friend. As others surround Eva, Happy holds Natalie close to his chest. She feels a panic attack coming on and clings to Happy tighter saying, "Don't let go."

He leads her to the church steps away from the scene and sets her down gently getting in front of her says, "Natalie listen to my voice, you are okay, just breathe, in and out."

She listens and starts to calm down after a while she says staring blankly, "Who would do something like this at funeral."

"I don't know little quinn," he says brushing her hair away from her face.

She looks around and sees it's just the two of them, "Where is everyone else?"

"Figuring out who was behind this, and your brother, Lana, Tara, and Gemma are headed to the hospital."

Getting up she says, "I'm going to the hospital."

He knows she is going to walk if he won't let her get on the back of his bike and as much as he doesn't want to he has no choice sighing he says, "This is the one time before the kid comes that you are riding on the back of a bike."

She hugs him, not waiting for him to sit on the bike she just hops on the back thankful for the bitch seat he added. On the way to the hospital he couldn't remember a time where they went so slow but, he wasn't about to risk anything with his queen and unborn kid on the back of his bike. Once they arrived she practically ran into St. Thomas not waiting for Happy and goes into the waiting room straight to her brother, "What is going on? Where was she hit? Is she okay?"

Quinn hugs her and says, "Calm down turbo she's okay they are doing a minor procedure to take out the bullet that went into her kidney."

"Why does bad things keep happening to us?" she whispers hugging him closer.

"I don't know little sis but Deputy Hale is dead," Quinn says squeezing her.

"Good finally someone killed Mr. I think I'm the best deputy around," Natalie surprised even herself with how angry it came across since she didn't mean it in that sense, even though hearing those two were dead put her at ease a little. She knew that the club would only think this was Niners once again, but what freaked her out was that they would think it was the Mayans. She knew a few of the new patched members of Mayans Oakland had started their own little gang and Kristina's cousin was one of the guys which wouldn't surprise her if it was his idea since he always had a problem with Mayans and Sons being allies. She looks at her brother and says, "I think I can help."

Quinn shakes his head "No you are not getting involved in this Nat, don't need something to happen to you as well."

Natalie shakes her head stepping back from her brother. "Rane, I can help with who did it. It would save you guys time and from accusing the wrong people," she says trying to reason with her brother.

He crosses his arms, shaking his head looking at his best friend, his little sisters old man who just walked up, "Can you please talk some sense into her," he asks patting him on the shoulder going back in the waiting room.

Happy knew Natalie was pissed at her brother in this moment but didn't know about what. "What happened between you two?"

Natalie shakes her head, unfolds her arms, looks at Happy and says, "I was telling him I think I know who did this which would help you guys out, but he doesn't want me to get involved because he thinks something will happen to me as well."

Happy sighs knowing whatever he said wouldn't help this situation. "How bout you tell me what you think?"

Natalie shakes her head, "Hap, can you answer me what is the harm with bringing this to Clay and let you guys handle it?"

Happy crosses his arms, "Because you can't just leave it at that. We both know you would tell him then go and do something stupid."

She crosses her arms looking straight at him, "And what makes you think that after telling you I wouldn't do the same thing?"

He laughs a little, "You wouldn't leave your best friends side that why."

She huffs, "Fine whatever, but if Clay does show up I will tell him."

He smirks, "So what do you think you know that can help little Quinn?"

"Manny, Kristina's cousin Marcus' nephew, never liked the alliance that was established between the Sons and Mayans. From what I heard from Kristina Manny left the Mayans along with a few other guys and were starting up their own gang. What better way to show other street gangs and MC's that your legit then shooting up another gang's funeral."

Happy drags Natalie into an empty waiting room and closes the door, "Little Quinn, how the hell do you know all this? I thought you girls don't talk club stuff." He says wondering what the hell she has told her friends.

Natalie holds his hands hoping to calm him down, "We don't talk club stuff, never have, but Kristina was venting to me about her family problems."

"Why just you?" Happy asks.

She shakes her head, "Why does it matter who she vents too?"

"It doesn't I was just curious."

"Yeah we are all pretty tight with each other but Kristina has always felt a stronger bond with me, and there's also the fact that her family has viewed me as one of their own from day one," she looks at him and asks, "Why did you drag me into an empty room?"

"Because I didn't need anyone hearing our conversation," he says pointing out the obvious.

"Why would you not want someone too," she asks confused.

"Are you that fucking stupid right now Nat," he rasps.

"I'm not fucking stupid Lowman," she growls, "I'm asking you a question."

"You can't just make those accusations with a bunch of people around you when you don't know who could be eavesdropping," he says lowly.

"Sorry okay," she sighs. "It won't happen again. Let's go see if anything is new with my best friend."

They go to the waiting room and her brother tells her no one has been here yet. Happy then pulls her brother to the side of the room to talk to him privately.

Gemma had been watching everything the moment she stepped foot into the waiting room. She had to wonder what was going on with the Quinn siblings and Happy that have the three talking in secret. She hoped that the girl she loved dearly hadn't figured out everything and put the pieces together, because if she did then she would have to do something about it. She could tell the blonde's redheaded best friend knew something because she was very perceptive as well, and unlike her blonde best friend, the red head would have no problem telling it to people right away. Gemma had to find a way to know what the blonde knew without being too suspicious. She takes a seat next to Natalie and puts her arm around her, "You holding up okay?"

Natalie looks at the older brunette and nods, "Yeah I'll be fine when I know how the hell my best friend is doing."

"I meant how are you after everything?"

"Nothing I can't handle, don't worry Gem I ain't running anywhere, you're stuck with me."

Gemma laughs a little "You're not so bad."

"Thanks, I've been meaning to ask but just haven't gotten a chance to, why do you and Eva have a problem with each other? Thought you'd like her since she's like me in some ways," Natalie asks curiously.

Shaking her head Gemma says seriously, "Since she's been here she has done nothing but think she's the new Queen B. I gotta knock her down from that pedestal she thinks she's on."

Natalie shakes her head knowing there is more to the story that Gemma isn't telling her. She was hoping Gemma would tell her more so she could know both sides since she only really has Eva's side. "Okay, but that can't be the only reason. Come on Gem, I know you pretty well, I won't say shit you have my word."

Gemma sees her opportunity and takes it, "Okay, if you answer me this, what do you think about the Donna's death?"

Natalie looks at Gemma like she is crazy and wonders where this is coming from. She can hear the underlying suspicion in the older woman's voice, "Sure I'll answer, but you answer first."

"I think there is more than what she has said that brought her here with Quinn," Gemma says with a shrug.

Natalie shakes her head, "Gem, Quinn is her old man who switched charters, of course his old lady is going to move with him."

Gemma raises her brow at the blonde, "So you're telling me if Happy would transfer charters you would follow him?"

Natalie didn't even hesitate one bit when she answered, "Yeah I would. Not only because my profession always has open jobs throughout the country, and wouldn't be hard for me to find a position, I don't think I could live in a different state while the person I love is in another. You moved with J.T when he came to Charming to start up SAMCRO," Natalie points out.

Gemma saw a younger version of herself in that moment when she heard Natalie speak and it made her only want to know what Natalie knows even more. "Well I still think there is something more to it and her higher than everyone else personality rubs me the wrong way."

Natalie nods and Gemma nudges her, "Now your turn."

Natalie runs a hand through her hair not sure what she could tell the older woman. She noticed the past month and half a change in the woman she had grown close with. "I think whoever did it was a fucking coward for shooting an innocent woman and it sure as hell wasn't the Liners. But hey what do I know? For all I know my suspicions could just be paranoia from the shit that I have seen and experienced."

Gemma sighed in relief knowing that she didn't have to worry about the young blonde. "You're a strong women Natalie, remember that. And hey, they don't call you a mini me for nothing," she says as she gives Natalie a hug and leaves giving her regards to Quinn.

A short while later Tara came out in her white doctor jacket and approached the group, "Eva is out of surgery and the bullet was removed, but it took a lot longer than expected because of a minor complication and also with what we found."

Quinn cut his president's old lady off not caring who she was at the moment, "What complications? I thought you said you removed the bullet."

"We did but when we removed it her kidney started bleeding heavily so we had to remove her kidney. This is what brought about the complication, because once it was removed she started bleeding out. We were able to stop it and she should recover fine, but what we found is what concerns us."

Quinn knew what they found and he didn't want his sister to find out like this and he knew Eva didn't want the person who's like her sister to find out from a doctor. "Tara I know what they found and we found out just before we moved down here. I am not a match and neither is her brother."

Tara knew Quinn would never do anything to her but he was an intimidating person so she nodded her head and didn't elaborate any further. She just looked at Natalie and gave her a hug before walking away. Leaving Natalie more confused than ever.
