XOXO NATALIE

Happy has been out of commission for two months and is already over it. He had to give his love credit though, she was putting up with him and his shit without complaint. Laying around doing nothing all day he would watch her, and the past few days he noticed how she was on edge and not acting like herself. She had just walked in the bedroom after work and instead of her usual routine she slumps on the bed and turns on her side away from him, and hears her sniffle. "What's wrong?"

He hears her sniffle and then a muffled, "Nothing."

"Can you at least face me?"

Natalie turns and faces him not sure how to have this conversation without him exploding, and him getting pissed, so instead she decides to tell him what got her sad. "Eva got her results back it's not looking to good Hap. I feel useless, I'm a match and can't even help her."

Happy knew about the results since her brother had called and talked to him. "Eva ain't going down that easy, and definitely not without a fight. Plus everyone knows she can't wait for the baby to arrive so she can spoil it rotten."

She chuckles, "Yeah but Hap she's not made of steel, and neither are you."

Happy sighs knowing where this conversation is going and he really didn't want it to. He still hasn't told her about that night but only because the less she knew the better off she would be. "Little Quinn, let's not go there."

She sits up, "Hap, I don't know what your hiding from me but can you just listen to me for a minute?" He nods so she continues, "You know the night I found out you were in the hospital and while you were out I did some thinking. What Tonio told me and what your injuries were, something is off. Let me finish," she says putting her hand up to keep him from interrupting. "I know you protected Marcus that's how you got shot those times, but what doesn't add up is your knee injury and the cut you had on your eyebrow. I know what Manny had said, Tonio told Kristina who told me. The only thing I could think of is there was more people there that shouldn't have been."

Happy ran a hand over his face and decided to just go ahead and tell her, "What I'm about to share can't leave this room got it, and you don't bring it up again." She nods as he continues, "You remember those months ago when we were having the meetings here? Well the big plan worked, Stahl played into our trap. The death of the Perez's was a decoy from the bigger picture."

Natalie was confused, "I'm not following."

"Gogo was the big plan all along, he was a rat giving information to Stahl and the Feds. Once we found out we came up with a very well-constructed plan that Stahl fell for. We were just not prepared that night for her to show up to question Manny?"

Natalie listened and was absorbing what she was hearing, "So you jumped in front of Marcus because Stahl was going to kill him?" He nods, "But that still doesn't explain your knee."

"Had a run in with Gogo," Happy shrugs.

She nods, "he's dead too?" Happy nods, "Is Stahl dead?" He nods again and she runs a hand through her hair, "You killed Gogo but not Stahl?" He nods, "Who killed Stahl?"

"Clay," She nods and he asks, "What's been havin you on edge lately?"

She looks at him wide eyed stuttering, "What are you talking about?"

He chuckles a little, "What you think I don't watch you? That I can't see how on edge you are?"

"It's nothing killer," she sighs.

"You know telling all goes both ways."

"No offense but you get pissed way to quick," she says trying to deter him.

"You do to little Quinn," he points out.

"Fine," she huffs. "This guy keeps showing up to visit his grandma but something's off, he knows a whole lot about you and the club."

"Why do you say that?"

"He always asks questions and asks if anyone of you guys is there. Today though he was even creepier."

Happy looks at Natalie and notices the hand print on her arm, "He touched you," he growls.

"Happy calm down, I was walking away and he grabbed my arm a little too hard."

"Why?"

"He said that he wasn't done talking with me and that he would find something to land on me or you guys."

"Son of a Bitch," Happy says getting up and walking out of the room.

Natalie sighs rubbing her little stomach, "Your daddy is very protective."

She changes into some sweats and goes to the living room where she sees her brother and Clay talking on the couch with Happy. "Happy you seriously needed to call them?"

Quinn speaks up, "Don't be a bitch. If you had just told us the first time we wouldn't have to be here, but you being you just thinks she can handle everything herself."

Natalie was stunned into silence which wasn't like her at all. Quinn continues knowing this is his one opportunity to just lay it straight to her, "You better change your attitude and rely on some help sometimes, especially now that you're pregnant, you can't just think about yourself. What would have happened if you fell huh? You see Nat you don't think about the consequences, it's almost like you don't care. You need to wake up and get your head out of your ass."

Natalie was never an overly emotional person, but now being pregnant she's had difficulties controlling her emotions and walks away crying. Happy looks at his friend, "Did you really have to take it that far?" Shaking his head he gets up to check on his beauty, before he does he looks at Clay and says, "I'm cleared now, I'm back."

Clay nods and says, "We'll see our way out and inform Juice to start looking into this, and I'll have Chibs talk to Lana."

Happy hesitantly walks into the bedroom not knowing what he was walking into with her emotions all over the place, and sees her sitting on the edge of the bed trying to stop herself from crying. Walking over he sits next to her and was going to pull her to him as she says, "Don't touch me please." He doesn't listen and just pulls her into his arms causing her to calm down a little.

"I know your brother and I think he's just worried for you. You have to see from his point, you're his only sister and the only family left; and you have a tendency to bring trouble with you. So now with you pregnant he just expected you to be more willing to go to me or him or one of the other guys instead of trying to handle it yourself."

Natalie wipes a tear and laughs a little, "Since when did you become the voice of reason?"

He chuckles a little, "Don't know and don't get used to it."

"I won't I promise, and I didn't say anything because you all would go into overdrive and you guys already have enough."

"Just tell me next time," he says seriously.

"I will okay," she says looking into his eyes.

"The doctor and physical therapist cleared me," he informs her.

She nods looking up at him, "That means you'll be back to doing jobs again?" He nods, she sighs nodding, "okay just promise me that you will at least try being safe."

"Course wouldn't want you ending up with Tig," he teases.

Natalie laughs, "That would never happen, and Venus wouldn't be too happy about that." She then looks into his eyes and says sincerely, "If you die then there's no one else for me."

"Let's go to the courthouse then and get married," he says seriously.

She cracks up laughing, "That's the funniest thing you've ever said," she stops when she notices he is actually serious, "You're serious about this?"

He nods, "You just said yourself there's no one else for you, and if you died I wouldn't be with any other girl."

She shrugs, "Okay then let me put on a dress and we can go."

"Sounds good, you don't want anyone to witness?"

"If I choose one over the other they would be mad, why you having someone?" she asks curiously.

"No"

"Okay then," she says with a smile.

She changes into her loose white spaghetti strap short flowing dress, and they leave the apartment. They go down to the courthouse in Stockton, sign the documents, and she fills out the papers to change her name. They are driving and she says, "We don't have rings."

"Thought you wanted to not tell anyone yet," he says.

"True, how bout tattoos?" she suggests.

"I was already thinking that, gonna also get the design we worked on," he says taking her hand in his.

"Is your friend is doin it again?" He nods his head yes.

They go inside and Travis says, "Aye man, got it set up, but I ain't tattooing her since you said she's knocked up," Happy nods as does Natalie. They sit and he hands his friend the paper, "Damn Hap you out did yourself."

He shakes his head, "Natalie here helped me draw it."

Travis looks shocked, "Your girl got skills, she ever thought of tattooing?"

Natalie speaks up, "No I'd rather just stick to drawing, and the one time I did try I failed."

Happy smirks and says, "No you didn't, you did good for it being your first time and a happy face."

After the tattoo is done Travis says, "On the house man."

Happy nods, "Thanks, think you can do one more?"

"Sure what you want?"

"On my left side, the only place left by my heart get today's date in roman numerals and ...Forever."

Natalie smiles and speaks up, "You paid attention to that one time I showed you that picture of the couples side tattoo?" He nods as she says, "Once this kid is out, you are tattooing me right away with this date in roman numeral and Always..."

Happy nods and Travis says, "Never thought I'd see the day where my good friend Happy here would turn cute."

Happy glares at Travis, "I still ain't cute."

Natalie smirks looks at Travis, "Yes he is, just won't admit it."

Travis smirks playing along, "Aye man the sooner you admit it the better off you'll be."

"Just do the damn thing already," Happy growls.

Natalie shakes her head, "Sorry for his rudeness, someone just doesn't have manners,"

Travis just laughs as Happy glares.

They had been back at the apartment for a while when his phone went off, and by the way his demeanor changed it wasn't a good call. She looks up from the movie they were watching as he hangs up and asks, "Everything alright?"

"Gotta go take care of something for the club," he rasps.

"How long?"

"Should be back by morning if it goes smooth."

"Okay," she sighs, "be safe, I love you."

"I'm sending Ami over," he informs her.

Natalie raises a brow, "Your sending the new prospect?"

"He's not a prospect, he's a transfer from SAMDINO."

"Okay, fine by me".

"Love you," he says and gives her a quick kiss before leaving something he has never done, he smirks at her shocked expression, "What a normal husband does when he leaves for work right?"

"Right," she laughs giving him a hug, "Go before they come barging in."

As he leaves Ami is walking up and she smiles at him. He wasn't a bad looking dude, if she were single he would be someone she would go for. Extending her hand she says, "Natalie, nice to meet you."

"Ami nice to meet you."

Walking in she says, "I have one rule which is to take your shoes off and leave them by the door."

He nods and she sits on the couch inviting him to sit as well, "Make yourself at home, all the other guys do." He nods, and she smirks starting to see why Happy sent him, he reminds her of him a little. "Not a talker huh?"

He shrugs, "If I got nothing to say, I don't say anything."

"Fair enough, well I would like to get to know the guy who's staying with me."

He chuckles, "I'm starting to see what the guys are talking about."

She raises a brow, "What would that be?"

"I think you already know the answer to that."

She laughs, "Anyways tell me about yourself?"

"30, born in Riverside, California, grew up with a single father, mom left when I was three never heard from her again. I joined SAMDINO about 5 years ago, decided to transfer since I have been helping them out up here a lot, plus got nothing back in SAMDINO." She nods as he says "Your one of the few who knows this much."

"Don't worry I won't say anything," she says earnestly.

"They were right about you, can see why they speak highly of you."

She smiles, "Glad to know I'm held on a pedal-stool."

He laughs, "I think we are going to get along great."

"I do to. I do the talking, you listen, and then vice versa," she smiles.

"So tell me about yourself?" he prompts.

She chuckles, "I think you already know my story."

"Don't believe everything I hear."

She nods, "Well my brother is Quinn, and I'm 25, born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, dad left when I was three, raised by mom she died when I was 17. I went to rehab at 18 got locked up at 19 got out at 21 dated and married a Perez, got divorced about a year ago, and now here I am having a baby with the Tacoma Killer."

He nods, "You're a strong woman."

"Thank you, I appreciate the compliment."

"How did you and the killer get together?"

She laughs, "Interesting way actually. I was sent by my brother to deliver a message to either Clay or Happy, you can say with my personality and his we clashed, but then we got together broke up, and then after a while got back together, what about you?"

He shakes his head, "Single and don't plan on settling down anytime soon."

"Do you want to at some point?"

"Maybe, girlfriends aren't my thing," he sighs.

"Ah I see you don't wanna be a one woman type of guy, would rather have multiple women," she says nodding her head in understanding.

"Something like that."

She shakes her head, "And I can guarantee you'll have no problem with getting women looking like you do."

He laughs, "Just like I bet a lot of guys are waiting for you to be single looking like you do. Soon you'll be MILF."

She laughs, "A MILF seriously? I just met you and that doesn't even sound right coming out of your mouth."

He chuckles, "Just trying to keep up with the language nowadays."

"Please you make it seem like your old."

"I am," he says seriously.

"If your old then I'm middle aged," He nods so she smiles and says, "You won't be sleeping on the couch, you can take the guest room, and don't worry the sheets are clean."

He chuckles, "You have OCD huh?"

"Why would you say that," she asks.

"Because your place is spotless, you made me take off my shoes, the way your pillows are perfectly lined on the couch, and not to mention your DVD collection is in alphabetical order," he lists.

"Okay, I get it, you make me sound like an OCD freak," she laughs.

"Nah, you're alright," he says waving a hand at her.

"Well I'm tired, it's almost ten but you're more than welcome to stay up. Even if he comes back early just stay and let me make you breakfast in the morning."

"Wouldn't want to miss out on your famous cooking," he says with a grin.

She shrugs, "Could be better than what you expect."

"I'll be the judge of that," he laughs.
