XOXO NATALIE

Natalie was sitting waiting for her and Tara's case to be called and hadn't told Happy or anyone that Tara took a deal only Trey knows "Can you get me the lowest time possible?"

Trey looks at the blonde "Course I can the video footage shows clearly that you left before Tara went in and had left the building while Tara hadn't"

She nods as Trey says "Worst case you get a year best case you get 30 days"

"And Tara walks"

"Not necessarily Nattie, yes she took the deal but you can't tweak video footage from prisons"

Natalie just nods and for once is nervous knowing that since Tara is working with the DA and is taking a deal she herself was screwed. Trey had never seen the blonde nervous like she is now "I got you Nattie" "I know you do it's just I know her lawyer is Lowen"

"I've beaten her plenty of times, everyone knows she's on SAMCRO payroll and the judge we have isn't associated with any of the parties or the officers and he doesn't do payouts so it's a fair case"

She nods and they hear her name looking at Tara who couldn't even look her in the eye which in Natalie's eyes showed just how much of a coward she is.

Happy was sitting towards the back on the side Natalie was going to be sitting on and on her side sitting up front was Quinn, Eva, Donut, Tig, Clay, Gemma, Dwayne, Audrey, Kristina, Antonio. He knew Bobby and Chibs were torn so they had chosen to stand in the back which Happy had wanted to do. He was inwardly smiling that she was going to be walking in to see people supporting her and knew the other half of the Fab 4 were here. They rise and when he sees his blonde beauty come in with the orange jumpsuit and cuffs his breath was in his throat, didn't think seeing her cuffed up and in the uniform would effect him this much but it did and killed him even more that she refused to see him or anyone for that matter only agreeing to see Eva, Rey, Kris, Michelle, or Lana who would bring Troy with them otherwise she shunned everyone out. He couldn't take sitting so he joined the two in the back and listened to the case knowing that Trey was going to do everything for his little Quinn but had a feeling that Tara was working with the law which would be screwed for Natalie.

They were waiting for the verdict and Natalie looks behind her and sees Happy standing in the back looking stoic and pissed. After she was sentenced to 60 days in prison she heard the doors slam knowing it was Happy who had walked out more than likely pissed. She goes to her brother and the guys on her side saying "Make sure he doesn't do anything stupid and that I love him"

They nod and say "Be safe" as Jax comes over saying "I'll talk with our connects and have you protected in their"

She shakes her head "No need, you and your wife have done enough already I got it covered already so I'm straight" walking away.

She was sitting on the bus and got seated next to Tara as the officer says "Be nice you two"

Natalie looks at Officer Sanchez "I always play nice and fair" Officer Sanchez shakes his head at the blonde. He wasn't the only officer who was surprised to see the blonde back but they all knew this time around would be different for her since she seemed to be close with Helga and her crew again.

Tara looks at Natalie "I'm sorry" Natalie ignores her and instead tunes her out deciding to talk to the girl next to her. She hears Tara sigh and turns slightly to see her pouting shaking her head at how Tara looks like a little kid. Once at the prison they are escorted in and she goes to her bunk when Helga comes over "We heard how it went, sorry"

She was laying on the bottom bunk looking at the top of it "It's fine, shit happens"

"You're not supposed to be here Nat"

"I know but here I am"

Helga says "Your covered this time, we owe you for the last time"

Natalie nods knowing what they are talking about "Aren't you glad we remained friends"

Helga laughs "Yeah you're not so bad,"

"I make this place fun"

"That you do, we got to initiate the new inmates tonight"

Natalie nods knowing that she would have to partake not really wanting to since she knew what it felt like but she knew it was what was needed "Okay, just tell me the time"

"I'll keep you posted, you might enjoy this time heard one of them is the same chick who was in your case"

Natalie nods and says sitting up looking around grateful it's just the two of them. "Helga, you know I'm down for whatever but can you make sure that I'm not involved with the girl, as much as I want to give her what she deserves, I can't have her go running to her husband and blab her mouth, she is working with the DA and took a deal, she can't be trusted and kicking her ass giving her a mark would be more hell for you"

Helga nods knowing that Natalie was coming from a good place and looking out for her which was something Helga always liked about the blonde, even when she was her bitch she always looked out for everyone without needing too. "I'll make sure you're in your bunk and that your accounted for here, we'll deal with her alone"

Natalie nods not feeling bad for not having Tara's back. Natalie was all for loyalty but if you didn't have her back then she wouldn't have yours it's just how she was and being in her you got to look out for yourself, besides she felt like she saved Tara in a way since she wouldn't be getting a bad beat down or marked which she inwardly punched herself for but she had her loyalty to Helga and after getting out they kept in contact so she wasn't about to turn her back on her now.

30 days in and Natalie was getting used to being in prison again. Natalie was in the laundry room with Helga who says while folding "Heard some Marshall is reopening your case"

Natalie nods "Yeah heard it as well some agent name Stoic"

Helga shakes her head "He's not a Marshall anymore"

As Sanchez comes in "Lowman Stoic wants you for questioning"

"Sanchez, you can tell him to not waste his time I ain't talking"

Sanchez liked the blonde always did "Sorry can't do, come on Lowman don't make me use the cuffs"

Natalie smirks "You like me too much to use the cuffs but since you're alright I'll cooperate"

Sanchez shakes his head "Your something else"

"So, I've been told, so how are you" following Sanchez.

"I'm doing fine, your husband has been here every day since you've been in why haven't you seen him"

She shrugs "Because I know he's still pissed and I don't want to waste that time arguing with him, would rather him calm down"

Sanchez says "He doesn't look pissed until we tell him you refuse to see him"

"I might give in today"

"Well here we are, I'll be outside"

"Can't you be in the room I need something to look at, heard this agent isn't good looking"

Sanchez laughs "Thanks for the compliment but that won't be happening"

Sitting there Natalie was waiting for this agent and when he walks in with a folder she was ready for whatever was getting thrown her way. "Agent Stoic, nice to meet you Natalie Lowman"

"Can't say the same, look I'm not going to give you information"

Lee Stoic had done his research on the blonde and knew she was one of the newer old ladies who was more like the old school old ladies and with the stuff she's been through and seen he knew he had to do a different approach with her then the others. "I know I've done my homework on you Lowman and I must say it's pretty impressive wouldn't think looking at you"

"Flattery isn't going to get you anywhere"

"I'm not here to ask you for information or have you turn on SAMCRO, I wanted to speak to you because you know what it's like to loose someone you love and someone dear to you"

"What's the point"

"That nurse that Otto killed was my sister and from what the prison said you two talked quite a lot"

"Yeah, we talked when we were working together but nothing else and I heard through the grapevine he's paying for that by getting raped by different men who work for you and that you make it happen so what you say to me is shit, you can't be trusted and your word means nothing to me, why ask for my advice when you already seem to have it figured out"

Lee Stoic looked back at the blonde and had to admit she had balls and was very direct something he admired on her but he knew he was going to get nowhere with her and she was a lost cause but decides to test something "You know I have enough evidence to put Tara in prison, have her get the time she deserves"

"Okay, what does that have to do with me, I don't give a shit about her"

"You're doing time for something you didn't even do, you don't think it's fair"

"It's not fair but it's something I'm used to so it really doesn't matter, I do my time and after I have a clean slate, it's a lose win for me, before you try another approach just stop I have 30 days left and am not about to fuck that up so try someone else"

Lee Stoic nods and gets up grabbing the folder "I respect you, which is not something I do especially not with convicts, I'll be off your back" meaning every word. He walks out and even if he didn't anywhere with the blonde he had a knew found respect for the girl she didn't complain about her sentence or anything just took it and is doing it. He knew she was a lost cause going in there but wanted to see if she was for real and when she was he had left with his dignity still looking at the ATF agent who seemed to have a hard on for the blonde "She didn't budge"

Anthony was growing mad "You didn't try hard enough"

"I did and I gave her my hardest still didn't budge"

He slams his fist "What is it going to take"

"In my honest opinion Nothing, some advice Try a different route and person, she's not the weakest she's the strongest" walking away knowing that Anthony couldn't be trusted and decided to walk back seeing Sanchez take Natalie back "Wait give me a few minutes with her"

Sanchez looks at Natalie who nods and says "What"

"Just give me a few minutes, this has nothing do with the case"

She nods and says "Don't got all day" as she gives Sanchez the nod to give them some space

"Watch your back, Agent Johnson has a hard on for you"

"Thanks for the information I already know"

He shakes his head "Here's my card, if he gets too much to handle call me and I can have him taken care of"

She nods taking the card and says "Why are you helping me, you don't seem like a person to do so"

"Because like I said I got respect for you and you're a good person just handed a fucked-up hand"

She laughs "Good to know" walking back to the cells.

She hears her name and says "Damn Sanchez aren't I just popular today"

He laughs "Yeah you are"

"Who is it now"

"Happy Lowman"

She nods "I'll go"

He looks surprised but escorts her and once in the visitor's room sees Happy sitting at the table looking in her direction which she looks back nodding at Sanchez that she's fine as he motions that he isn't far. She sits and he says "Why now?"

"Figured you were done being pissed"

He nods knowing his wife knew him well and says "I have a new respect for you"

She raises a brow "Why is that"

"Because I don't know how you managed to take care of Troy, spend time with him, keep the house clean, cook and still work"

She laughs "I'm just that damn good, call me superwoman"

He laughs a little "I miss you"

She says "I miss you too, but 30 days left,"

"We found out Tara was ratting"

She nods "How did Jax take the news"

"He was pissed then she dropped that she was pregnant so he calmed down a little and has her staying with him till the son is born"

She nods "He's president though"

"Yup"

"Heard about Clay, Gemma isn't doing good huh"

"Wouldn't know, don't care for gossip"

She laughs "You sure do know a lot though"

"Cuz everyone talks around me or too me"

"How are you though"

"I'm fine I should be asking you"

She nods "I'm doing good actually, having fun this time around,"

"Jax is here wants to talk with you after me"

"About what"

"About the time that Tara was in here"

She raises a brow and says "Happy what aren't you telling me"

"You beat her to pulp"

She shakes her head "No I didn't I put that on everyone I love, I was asleep in my bunk"

He nods knowing that she was telling the truth since he had asked Dwayne's grandpa to use his connects to get the tapes and asked around "I know you're telling the truth but he wants to talk"

"You going to be here"

"Yes"

She nods as Sanchez comes over "There's someone who wants to talk to you"

"I know Sanchez he's fine but can Happy stay," smiling at the officer as eh shakes his head "Your pulling my leg here"

"Please, I'll be extra good the rest of the time here"

"I'll see what I can do" walking away as Happy says "Something I should be asking about"

She shakes her head "No trust me I haven't had sex since I've been in here, he's just one of the few guards left from my first time here,"

He nods as the guard comes back "You can stay Mr. Lowman, your wife is something else"

"I know"

She says smiling at Happy "O cheer up grumpy you got graced with my presence"

"Yeah"

Jax takes a seat glaring at Natalie "Thought we were cool"

"We are"

"No, you got Tara ass kicked"

"No I didn't, she got herself in that situation, instead of accusing you should get your facts straight first"

"I did get my facts"

"Yeah from a rat, what did she tell you"

"The first night was just a rough up but then a few nights later she got the shit beat out of her, I saw her that next day and she looked like shit"

"She got the shit beat out of her because she decided to not mind her business and decided to bang my head against the shower"

Jax shakes his head looking at Happy "She's impossible won't own up shit"

Happy looks at Jax and says "My old lady is owning her shit, and doing more time than should because yours is working with the opposite side, I support you, you are my president but you won't talk down to my old lady show her respect"

Jax nods knowing that his killer shouldn't be provoked and knew he was wrong for jumping down Natalie's throat but he didn't know what to do or how to even take everything that has happened the last month in "Sorry Natalie,"

"Yeah whatever, go back to your rat wife and rat family, how does it feel to know you were behind the death of Clay the love of your mom's life"

"She moved on"

"I know with Nero, who has an escort business that you're going into business with, don't looked shocked I still get informed by Eva and especially get informed by your mom"

Jax looks shocked didn't know that Gemma came to visit the blonde often "She comes here"

"Yeah once a week, just to fill me in on everything and just to talk, you know I had a lot of respect for you at one point but now I have zero respect for you"

He looks wide eyed and then to Happy who look just as shocked at the revelation got pulled out of it when the guard says "Times up"

She gives Happy a hug and kiss walking away.

They were walking out and Jax says to Happy "Did you know she lost respect for me"

"Naw and I ain't changing it either, earn it back"

Jax nods and knew he had his work cut out for him if he wanted to get back in the blonde's good side.

Happy had to admit seeing his little Quinn looking good in the jumpsuit had him getting hard had to control himself a few times. Ever since she went in he hasn't touched a sweet butt or croweater instead spends all his time working at the shop or home with his son, who is walking and climbing on everything knowing that once Natalie is out she will be in for a new one. Troy still doesn't talk much unless your Happy, Quinn, Donut, Ami, Eva, Audrey, Kristina, Antonio, Dwayne, Jenn, Evangelina, or Lana otherwise he is quiet and has a permanent scrowl on his face but his most favorite person is his mom who he knows he misses a lot much like Happy. Happy wouldn't admit it to anyone but he is counting down the days till his little Quinn is getting out and knew that any of Troy's favorites would gladly watch him for the night so the two could catch up even though he knows she will want to spend it with just him and Troy. They get on their bikes and bid farewell since Happy had an errand to do. He knew deep down that he wanted to give her the big wedding and a ring so he decided while in Stockton he would go to the jewelry store Dwayne had suggested parking in the empty spot in front of the shop knew this was going to burn a hole in his pocket but also knew that his beautiful wife deserved it. Walking in he instantly felt uncomfortable and when the blonde sales clerk greeted him with a flirtatious smile "Well hello, what can I help you with?"

He looks around "I uh wanted to see your engagement rings"

He noticed her face drop a little but says still smiling "Follow me"

He follows looking around checking his area and once in front of a glass with different rings the clerk says "We have these which are a smaller cut or I can show you the bigger cut section, do have an idea of what you want, if you do it makes this easier"

"She likes princess cut something with a thick band but not to flashy simple but with diamonds." The clerk nods and leads him to a different glass and Happy found the ring he knew she would like it was a thick band princess cut with a diamond in the middle with smaller around it in a square then little diamond in three lines around the front of the band. "That one"

The clerk takes it out "Whoever the girl is she is lucky; do you know her size?"

"6"

"Let me see if we have any left in that size be right back" After waiting a few minutes she comes out and says "You're in luck sir, we just got this particular one back in stock." He nods and after paying he stuffs the bag in his saddle bag driving home.

HOPE YOU ALL ENJOYED IT! LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK. ONLY ONE MORE CHAPTER BEFORE THIS STORY ENDS.
