Hey everyone! Longtime no post. Sorry about that. I've been soooo busy lately and had a huge writers block for this chapter, but I finally finished it! I hope you enjoy it, and as always please review. It would be awesome to know what you guys think of my story. Thanks.

"Bye." She wiped her eyes and shut her phone. She walked into the clubhouse, looking for one person. She walked right up to him. He turned to look at her. "Happy. You're mom is very sick, and I want to go see her."

"What?" Happy just looked at her shocked.

"I said, your mom is very sick and I want to see her." She looked him in the eyes.

"How do you know that?" He asked at he put his beer down.

"She called me because you don't answer your phone." Jess could tell that he was still kind of shocked. His mom was his world, and the two women he ever really loved were his mom and Jess. "I'm sorry Hap." She said as she hugged him. He held on tightly. She could tell he was holding back his emotions by the way he was tense against her. He pulled back and looked at her, worry in his eyes.

"We're leaving in the morning."

"Alright. Sounds good. I can't wait to see her." Jess said as she took a seat at the bar.

"Yeah. She kept asking how you were when you left. She was worried and she missed you." Happy said as he went back to his beer. "We'll wait till Mav gets here for Sofie in the morning."

"Ok." Jess said as she leaned against him.

"Where did you go, by the way?" Happy asked her.

"I just went for a ride. Ran into Unser." She didn't tell him that she went to her 'special' place because that would just make him worry more. Happy knows that when she goes there, something is bothering her.

"Oh. Well, Tig was looking for you." She looked at him, hoping he was ok so she could go see him. "Go. He's in his room." Happy said as he removed his arm from her shoulder.

"Thanks Hap." She kissed his cheek and started to walk back to the dorm rooms. "When she got into Tig's room, he was laying on his stomach, shirtless on his bed. She went over and laid beside him, throwing an arm around his back. She smiled when he turned in her arms and cuddled up to her half asleep.

"Hey. I missed you. Where'd you go off to?" He murmured into her neck.

"I went out riding for a bit. Ended up being longer than I expected." She moved closer to him. The silence was relaxing, but she knew she had to tell him about tomorrow. "Hey, listen. Tomorrow I'm going to Bakersfield with Hap."

"Why?" He murmured in her neck again.

"Because his mom is really sick, and I wanna see her. Is that ok? We're gonna leave right after Mav comes."

"Yeah. That's ok with me. Just make sure you stay with Hap. Don't go off by yourself." He said as he looked at her.

"I won't Tiggy." She smiled as he leaned in to kiss her. Tig broke the kiss and asked what time is was. She looked over him at the clock on the nightstand. "It's around 11."

"Wow. You were gone for a long time." He leaned in for another kiss, but then broke it again. "I'm so tired."

"Then go to sleep. I'm beat too." She said as she cuddled into his body and started to drift off to sleep, but not before she heard Tig whisper something in her ear.

"I love you." She smiled widely, and cuddled further into him.

"I love you too, Tiggy."

Jessica woke up to the sound of Harleys in the garage. She opened her eyes and looked at Tig, who was smiling down at her.

"Morning."

"Morning." She said groggily. "What time is it?" She rubbed her eyes.

"It's almost 10."

"I gotta get ready." She said as she sat up. "I'm guessing that's the Arizona guys out there?"

"Yep. That's them." Tig said as he got dressed and put his cut on. "I'll meet ya out there, alright?"

"Yeah." Tig kissed her before leaving the room, shutting the door behind him. After Tig left, Jess went to take a shower. She got out and got dressed in something she can ride in. She also packed a bag for the night. After she was done getting ready, she went to go find Happy.

"Hey Jess! Come meet my brother!" Sofie grabbed her arm and brought her to where Maverick was.

"Hi. I'm Mav." He held out his hand and Jess took it. He had dark skin like Sofie's, deep brown eyes, shaggy chocolate hair, and was very muscular.

"I'm Jessica." She smiled at him.

"Nice to meet you Jessica." He smiled, flirtatiously.

"Ey. This one's off limits." Tig said as he wrapped his arms around Jess' waist, causing Mav to drop her hand.

"Sorry brother. Just being friendly."

"Mhmm." Tig raised an eyebrow, then turned to Jess. "Go find Hap, babe. He's waiting for you." He gave her a little push towards the bar, smacking her ass in the process. She turned around and gave him the finger, smirking. He blew her a kiss and smirked back. She just shook her head and turned back around.

"Hey Hap. You ready to go?" She asked as she walked up to him.

"Yeah." He set his beer down and grabbed his and Jess' bags. They walked out to his bike and he put their stuff in the saddlebags that he borrowed from someone. Jess said goodbye to everyone and they were off. The ride was about 4 hours long, and they didn't stop once. Happy was the type of person who rode and rode and rode. He didn't like stopping.

When they got to his mother's house in Bakersfield, she was sitting on the porch in a rocking chair. When she saw them getting off of Happy's bike, she got up and went to walk down the stairs but Happy stopped her.

"Ma. What happened to you?" He asked with worry in his voice as he ran up the stairs and gripped her arm. His mother bent over a little in pain.

"I haven't been feeling so good, mijo." She said as Happy lead her inside and into the living room. They all sat down, Happy next to his mother and Jess across from them.

"When did you start feeling like this Ma?" Happy asked his mother.

"Oh, a couple of weeks ago. At first it was just a little cold." She looked at Happy and Jess before continuing. "But then I guess it got really bad, and now here I am." She chuckled a little before she started coughing.

Happy was very worried for his mother. The tough woman that raised him to be tough and strong was now weak. He couldn't stand it. She can't be sick like this. He was going to do everything he could to help her.

Jess sat on the couch looking at Happy. She's never seen him this worried before. He usually hides all of his emotions. But now, she could clearly see everything he was feeling. He takes down his walls for Jess, but not as much as he does for his mother.

"So tell me about you, mija." Maria said, snapping Jess out of her thoughts. "How was living in Boston?" She smiled at Jess, in which Jess smiled back.

"It was nice. I missed you guys too much though."

"Oh, we missed you too mija."

Jess was thinking if she should wait to tell her aunt about being with Tig again. Maria wasn't the biggest fan about the idea from the beginning. When they first got together, she was totally against it, and Jess thought that part of her aunt's decision was because of her other aunt, Gloria. But after time she slowly accepted it. Gloria, on the other hand, was completely against it the whole time. She never liked the fact that Happy had joined the MC life, and she hated it that Jess was with Tig. As if knowing what she was thinking about, Happy asked where their aunt was, because she lives with Maria.

"She went to the store to get some food for dinner. Oh and she doesn't know you two are here."

"What?" Jess and Hap both said at the same time. They didn't exactly like their aunt all that much.

"Why wouldn't you tell her?" Hap asked.

"Because I thought it would be a nice surprise." Maria said with a wide smile, which Happy and Jess couldn't be mad at.

"You are such a trouble maker, Ma." Happy chuckled.

"Like mother like son!" Jess said, and laughed along with Maria at Happy's expression. "What? It's true." Jess said with a shrug of her shoulders. They start laughing again, this time Happy with them.

"Hey Ma, I think Jess has something to tell you." Happy chuckled as Jess shot him a deathly glare. "Like mother like son!" Happy repeats Jess' exact words.

"What do you want to tell me, honey?" Maria asks as she looks between Happy and Jess with a confused look on her face.

"Uhh…" She looks at Happy, silently pleading for help. He shrugs and looks away. 'Asshole' she thought as she turned back to her aunt. "Well… You remember Tig, right?"

"That fool that broke your poor little heart? Of course I remember him. Why?" Jess looked back at Happy, who was trying to stop himself from laughing. Maria didn't sound too happy to be talking about Tig.

"Um. I got back together with him." Jess said, cautiously eyeing her aunt.

"What?" Her aunt said loudly. "Why would you do that? He is a stupid, selfish man who doesn't know how to care for a woman, let alone care for himself." Maria ranted to Jess. "I think you are making a big mistake mija." She said a little softer.

"But Tia! He loves me, and he apologized, and I forgave him, and I love him." Jess said with a sigh. "He is my world, and I know he won't hurt me ever again." Maria looked at Jess for a little before turning towards Happy.

"What do you think about this mijo?" She asked Happy.

"Well." He looked at Jess, who was pouting at him. "I think that Tig has changed, and if Jess really loves him, and he loves her back, then they should be able to be together." He said, still looking at Jess who now had a wide grin on her face. Maria was looking at Jess with a serious look, like she was thinking really hard about something. Then she broke out into a genuine smile.

"Alright Jessica. If you're happy, then I'm happy. Right Happy?" Jess and Maria started giggling at the uses of 'happy.'

"Yeah. Whatever." Happy grumbled.

"You have to bring him here though Jess. I want to see how he's doing."

"Bring who here?" Jess and Happy both looked at the woman who walked into the room. Gloria, their aunt, was glaring at Jess. "It better not be that idiot Tig." She spat out.

"And if it is, it's none of your business." Jess said as she stood up.

"Sit down mija." Maria said calmly.

"No! I'm tired of her treating me like a fucking kid!" Jess walked over to Gloria. "My life is none of your business! You're not my fucking mother!"

"Well I think I should have the right to know who will be visiting my house." Gloria said with a smug grin.

"But that's the thing. This isn't your fucking house! You're lucky that Tia even lets you stay here. And what is it, rent free?" Jess walked over by Happy and sat down.

"Well, you know, if that asshole Tig never hurt you, José wouldn't be dead right now!" Gloria yelled.

"What?" Jess asked as she slowly rose from the couch, but before she could walk over, Happy grabbed her hand.

"You heard me! You killed José!" She spat.

"You are such a bitch!" Jess said with tears in her eyes. "I did not kill my fucking father!" She had tears running down her cheeks. Happy pulled her into his lap and held her while she cried. He glared at Gloria.

"Get out." Happy growled.

"Excuse me?" Gloria asked.

"I said, get the fuck out. Now." Happy growled again.

"Do you see how your son is talking to me Mana?" Maria looked at her sister for a few moments, then to Jessica.

"Get out." Maria said calmly. "You don't ever disrespect my family like that!" Gloria looked shocked, but slowly walked out of the door. Jessica was still sobbing into Happy's shoulder, and he was rubbing her back with his hand.

"Jess, stop. She's gone." Happy said as he looked down at her. "And you're soaking my cut!" Jess chuckled as she sat up, wiping the tears out of her eyes. "You ok, kid?" Happy asked as he wiped her cheeks with his hand.

"Yeah. Sorry. I couldn't control it that time."

"It's ok, mija." Maria said as she stood up. "She had no right to do that, and don't you listen to her. That was not your fault at all." She walked over to Jess and pulled her up into a hug. "Let's go make dinner, yeah?"

"Yeah. I'll meet you in there Tia. I love you." Jess said as she pulled back.

"I love you too honey." Maria walked to the kitchen and Jess turned to look at Happy. She smirked a little.

"What?" Happy asked, confused.

"You care about me." Jess smiled.

"Of course I do. You're like my little sister, Jess." Happy stood and hugged her. "I'll always be here for you, kid."

"Thank you Hap. That really means a lot." Jess said as she hugged Happy back.

"You're welcome. Now go help Ma cook. I'm starving!" Happy smirked as he pushed her in the direction of the kitchen. She flipped him off as she entered.

Jess and Maria had a fun time cooking, although they mostly just talked about their lives in the past 8 years. When the dinner was ready, they all sat around the dining room table. About halfway through dinner, Happy announced that he had some good news.

"I'm putting in a transfer to Redwood," Happy said as he looked at Jess and his mother.

"Really? That's awesome Hap." Jess smiled at him. "But what about Tacoma? They don't need you anymore?"

"Nah. There's already so many people there anyways. Me and Koz are putting in for SAMCRO."

"Kozik too?" Jess asked, a little too excitedly.

"Uh yeah. Hopefully we get voted in." Happy eyed Jess for a few seconds. "Why?"

"Oh. Um. I was just wondering. You know, with Tig and everything."

"Right. Well I gotta make a call. Thanks for dinner guys." Happy got up and left the room.

Jess sat there looking at her food. Tig didn't tell her that Kozik was going to transfer. She started to think about Kozik, and about what Tig said to her about the three way.

"Who's Kozik?" Jess snapped out of her thoughts and looked at her aunt.

"What?"

"Who is Kozik?" Maria repeated as she looked at Jess. "You got excited when Miguel said his name."

"Um. He's just a Son for the Tacoma charter." She avoided looking at her. "He's just a friend Tia." Maria eyed her suspiciously.

"Ok. Fine. Don't tell me. Just be careful mija." Maria stood up and walked towards the kitchen. "Go get your bags. You can sleep in your old room."

When Jess and Happy were kids, Jess used to stay with Maria a lot. She was practically her second mother. Happy and Jess would do everything together. They were really like brother and sister.

Jess got her bag from Happy's bike and walked up to her room. She shut the door and took out her cell phone. She dialed Tig's number and pressed send.

'Hello?' Tig said as he answered the phone.

"Hey baby!"

'Hey! What's up doll? I miss you!'

She could hear music in the background. There must have been a party going on at the clubhouse.

"I miss you too. Hey, Happy just told me that Kozik is putting in for SAMCRO. I was just wondering where your head is at for this."

'Yeah. About that. I'm not voting him in.'

"Why not?" She said, annoyed.

'Because we hate each other, remember?'

"You guys are so stupid! When will you guys get over it?"

'We are over it.'

"Oh my God. Never mind."

'Listen. Just tell him to stick around. There is still some shit we gotta work out. I gotta go. I love you.'

"Ok. I love you too." They hung up and Jess sent Kozik a text.

'Just talked to Tig. He isn't voting you in, but stick around for a while.'

She laid down on her bed and closed her eyes. Her phone rang, and she looked at the new text.

'I figured. And don't think I'm leaving without fucking your pussy. No way. I'll see you tomorrow.'

Jess stared at her phone wide eyed. She thought that Kozik would have forgotten about the whole three-way thing by now. But she was wrong. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.

"Jess get up! We're leaving in an hour. I have shit to do at the club." Happy banged on the door of the room she was staying in.

"Alright. Go away. I'm awake." She yelled into the pillow before sitting up. She got dressed and walked down to the kitchen where Maria and Happy were sitting. There were eggs, bacon, toast and tea on the counter.

"Eat something mija." Maria said as she grabbed Jess a plate and a fork.

"Thanks Tia." They all ate in silence. Jess could tell that Happy was a little sad about leaving his mother alone. When they were done eating, Happy got up and silently walked to his mother, bringing her in for a hug.

"I love you Ma. I'll come to visit soon. I promise." They stayed like that for a good minute. Happy pulled back and looked at Jess. She walked over to Maria and gave her a hug too.

"Bye Tia. I'll see you soon." They broke apart and Maria looked at the two of them.

"I love you both so much." She wiped a tear that fell down her cheek.

"No Ma. Don't cry." Happy said as he grabbed Maria's hand.

"I'm not mijo. I'll be ok. You guys should get on the road." They both nodded and went to grab their bags. They gave their final 'goodbye's' and they were on the road.

When they pulled up to the clubhouse, they were both really stiff. They didn't stop once, and Jess' back was really hurting. She stretched as soon as she stood up from Happy's bike. The lot only had a few people in it; the rest were probably in the clubhouse because it was around lunchtime, so she walked up to the door and walked inside. It was pretty crowded in there. She looked around for Tig. He was sitting at the bar with a croweater hanging off of him. The slut was rubbing her hands on his shoulders and leaning against him. Jess got really mad at that, so she stormed out of the clubhouse to the garage. She stopped when she was in the middle of the lot and looked around. She could see Gemma in her office, so she decided she would talk to her.

"Gemma?" Jess said as she slowly opened the door to the office.

"Yeah baby?" Gemma looked up from some paper work and looked at Jess. "What's wrong?" She set the paperwork down and took her reading glasses off.

"I saw a croweater all over Tig." Jess said as she plopped down on the sofa in the office. "I can't believe he would do that."

"What exactly was he doing?" Gemma asked.

"What do you mean?" Jess looked confused.

"I mean, was he kissing her? Touching her? Fucking her?"

"No. He was talking to Chibs and drinking at the bar." Jess looked down at her hands. "He wasn't even looking at her." Jess felt silly now. It wasn't even a big deal.

"So what's wrong then?"

"I just don't like those sluts hanging all over him. How do I get them to stop?" Jess looked at Gemma.

"I think that you need to show them who Tig belongs to." Gemma smirked.

"And how would I do that?" Jess asked.

"You'll figure something out. Do something that will make a statement." Gemma's smirk grew as she saw Jess thinking; most likely thinking of something to do to those sluts. Jess grinned and stood up.

"Thanks for the talk Gem."

"No problem baby. Any time." Gemma said as she put her reading glasses back on and picked up a piece of paper. Jess quickly left the office and walked to the clubhouse. She walked straight up to Tig and the slut.

"Hey baby. Where'd you…" Tig didn't even have time to finish his sentence. His mouth snapped shut as he saw Jess' hand draw back and snap forward, connecting with the croweater's face. The slut shrieked in pain and Jess just smirked cockily at her.

"This is my man. So stay the fuck away from him."
