A full year had passed since the night Alessia had shot and killed Jimmy O'Fallen and Agent Stahl. When she had blacked out Happy had lifted her up and carried her inside the clubhouse, laying her down in his old room. Clay and Jax had devised a plan while Hap had sat at her bedside, a plan to make it look like the IRA had come for Jimmy, taking Stahl out with him. They had ordered Chibs and Tig to move the bodies just outside of the Charming city limits to try and minimalize the blow back and had the prospects completely clean the lot of blood and evidence. As for her Berretta M9, nobody ever told her what had become of it. A few months had passed before anyone came to ask questions about that night. She had sat in her office at the hospital with 3 Federal Agents, answering questions and acting as polite and unknowing as possible. Letting them know that Happy and her never discussed work, she had pointed to the paperwork that had piled up on her desk and told them that once her and Hap walked through their front door they let everything behind them go.

"Makes home life less stressful when you don't have to hear your partner whine about their day, every day." She had told them. "You know how it is."

"Yes Dr. Demario I do." One of the men had laughed, holding up his hand to show her his gold wedding band.

Standing up to leave they had thanked her and apologized for bothering her before leaving. Letting her know that if she ever needed anything to give them a call. She had assured them she would and watched them leave before calling Happy.

"Hey, are you listening to me?" Gemma snapped her fingers in front of Alessia's face. "If you don't start stirring the gravy you're going to burn it." Grabbing the whisk, she stirred through the brown sauce in the pan.

"Sorry Ma." She said, turning to watch the hustle and bustle in the kitchen as all the women of SAMCRO prepared a feast. Gemma had decided to hold a massive party at her house and had made Alessia help her plan and prepare. She had to admit, she never thought she would be here again, helping Gemma or even being part of the club life but somehow it felt right. She loved Happy and everything that came with him, finally realizing that even if it made her look like her mother, she didn't care. Her father's strong blood ran through her veins and she knew she could handle this.

"Time to eat boys!" Gemma hollered at the back door to the large group of men drinking and enjoying a couple joints here and there. Pouring the gravy into a large bowl Alessia grabbed the ladle and made her way over to the table, trying to find a free spot to sit it down on the already loaded table. Sitting it by the basket of rolls she took a seat, and waited for Happy. Reaching over, she grabbed the pitcher of lemonade and poured some into the empty glass in front of her. Watching Happy walk through the door she smiled. Cocking her head to the seat next to her he nodded and came to sit next to her, placing one hand on the table and one on her thigh. Waiting for everyone to sit down before they all started loading their plates and continuing conversations, Happy leaned over and gently kissed her cheek.

Helping clean up after dinner she stood at the sink, watching some of the men, including Happy, gather in a small circle in the back. Eyeing them suspiciously as she handed Susan a dish to dry and put away she saw Happy take something out of his pocket and nod as he showed the group. What are you up to she thought, letting the soapy water drain. Turning back to Susan they continued their conversation about the last episode of Grey's Anatomy involving Christina Yang and Owen, effectively wiping Happy from her mind momentarily.

"I'm telling you, Yang is going to leave him." She told Susan. "I feel it coming."

"She can't they're too good together. It's like you and Happy, two broken souls connecting to make one." Susan gushed theatrically.

"Two broken souls? Really Sue?" She said before they both turned at the sound of the back door opening. Susan ran to Juice as he came in leaving Alessia to stand alone, throwing her arms around him and whispering something in his ear. Grabbing a handful of her ass cheek and walking them towards the front door Juice smiled wickedly.

"See you at work tomorrow." Susan called back to her, waving her hand. Alessia sighed, feeling a set of strong arms wrap around her waist. Smelling Happy's cologne, she closed her eyes and breathed in deep.

"Come with me." He rasped lowly into her ear making her shiver. Feeling his arms release she followed him out into the expansive back yard. Stopping next to him by the gazebo he reached into his pocket. Pulling out a thin gold chain and her breath caught as she saw her grandmother's cross. She had thought for sure she would never see it again after having it ripped off her in Belfast.

"Oh my god Happy, where did you find this?" She said, completely frozen in shock as he walked around her to help her put it on. Lifting her hair up she felt his hands clasping it behind her neck.

"Went out to that cabin to find you. Jax found it on the floor." He told her. "Had it fixed when we got back. I know how much it means to you."

"Thank you Happy." Alessia said, turning to him with tears in her eyes as she reached up to pull him into a kiss. "I love you so much Hap."

"I love you too Allie."

Oooooooooooooooooooooo

"Hey Allie can I get your help with something?" Susan called to her from one of the exam rooms. Getting up from her seat at the nurses station, she sat her chart down and walked into the room, Susan closing the door behind them.

"So what am I supposed to be helping you with?" Alessia asked, looking around the empty room.

"I'm pregnant, will you give me an ultrasound?" She blurted out unceremoniously. Taking a second before smiling, she looked up at Alessia. "I mean, I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant. I took like 5 pregnancy tests and they were all positive."

"Holy shit Sue!" Alessia said, pulling her into a hug before they started bouncing up and down, squealing in excitement. "Okay, lay down, let me get set up."

Squirting the goo onto Susan's belly she flipped on the monitor. Searching for a few seconds she found the little bugger. Turning up the volume on the panel the baby's heartbeat thumped loudly.

"Strong heartbeat." She said, snapping a few shots to print later. "Good size too. Looks like you're about 18 weeks." She looked a little closer as something caught her eye. Pushing a little harder into Susan's pelvis a second heartbeat could be heard. "Oh my god, there are two." She told Susan, shocked.

"What? Are you serious? WHAT!" She screamed, laughing and crying. "Oh my god."

Alessia took a few more pictures before hitting the print button and turning to help Susan clean up. "When are you going to tell Juice?"

"Well I was waiting to confirm it but now that I know for sure, and twins to boot, I better tell him soon. We have to get ready. Think you can help me plan a surprise?" Susan eyes her, smiling hopefully.

"Of course! What are you thinking about doing?" She asked, handing her the freshly printed ultrasound pictures.

Ooooooooooooooooo

The guys were getting back from a run very soon and the girls were putting their final touches on their surprise. Gemma had excitedly thrown herself into helping them when Susan had told her the news.

"Finally! Surprised it didn't happen sooner the way you two go at it." Gemma had told her, sweeping her into a hug. "It'll be good to have another baby around."

"Babies." Susan had corrected her, a grin spreading across her face.

"Twins?" Gemma had yelled out, starting to jump up and down. "Holy fuck!"

Hearing the bikes start to pull in Alessia, Susan, Tia, and Tara quickly stood up, running to stand in a line with their signs ready to flip over. Watching the men pull in and park their bikes, their eyes staring curiously at them, Alessia stepped forward to flip her sign. Roses are red…

Gemma stepped forward. The 2 lines on the stick were blue…

Tia stepped forward. Juice, I'm pregnant…

Finally Susan stepped forward and flipped her sign. She had blown up an image of each baby and stuck them down on the bottom. With not 1 baby but 2…

Gemma signaled to the group of women waiting behind them, letting them know it was time, causing them all to run forward with party poppers and pink and blue confetti. Alessia dropped her sign and pulled her poppers out of her pocket and pulled the strings, sending small pieces of paper and glitter flying towards Juice who was running to Susan.

The clubhouse was packed with people, all celebrating the news of Juice becoming a father. Alessia sipped her beer, watching Susan get hugged for the umpteenth time. Smiling she couldn't help but be happy for her friend. Getting up from the table, she headed for the bar to grab another beer. Turning around she spotted Happy with his back to her by the pool table. Throwing the cap of her beer onto the bar she made her way through the people only to stop short at what she saw. Ima was standing up from in front of him and pressed herself close to Happy, looking steamily up into his eyes before leaning up to kiss him. Her heart stopped. Grabbing a fist full of her blonde hair Happy kissed her back before pulling her head away. Letting go he whispered something in her ear before smacking her on the ass and sending her away. Turning around smiling he looked up and saw her, his face dropped.

Letting her beer fall to the floor she turned and walked straight out of the front door of the club not looking back. Pulling her key's from her back pocket she unlocked her car and got in. Not waiting to see if Happy had followed her, she threw it into reverse. Looking over she saw him walking towards her car. Before he could come any closer she pulled away as quickly as she could. Wiping the tears from her face she couldn't believe what she had just seen. She didn't know what had happened prior to her walking up but he had kissed that skank, that she had seen clearly.

Pulling a duffle bag out from the back of the closet she quickly threw clothes and shoes in. Trying to hurry before Happy decided to come home. Calling a cab, she grabbed her work bag with all of her files and went to the living room to wait. She texted her father and told him she didn't want to talk right now and asked him to book her and immediate flight home, she was on her way to the airport. Thankful he didn't call she looked down at the text that just said "Ok."

The cab honked outside, jolting her out of her thoughts. Leaving her keys sitting on the table, she grabbed her bags and walked outside. Letting the old guy take her duffle bag and put it in the trunk, she slid into the back seat.

"Where to miss?" He asked, pulling away from the curb.

"Airport please."
