She'd been ignoring phone calls for days, she was actually surprised it didn't bring the wrath of her mom down upon her. She had a feeling that maybe there was some understanding what was going on in her head and heart. Devon was actually surprised that no one from the club, hadn't kicked her door in, demanding to know if she was okay.

She had a feeling, that her mom had a part to play in that too, telling them she needed some space. Sam was playing with his toys on the floor, she sat on the couch, watching. Her mind was running through the list of why she should or shouldn't be Happy's old lady. Her phone vibrated on the table, seeing it was her mom, she picked it up.

"Hey Ma! What's going on?" The door crashed open, she dropped the phone to the floor, as a man stormed inside her house with coming towards her.

Gemma scanned the room looking for Jax, seeing him she walked across the room. The club was going on lock down, and she couldn't get a hold of her. Some new MC, was trying to move into Charming, they'd already attacked a couple of old ladies, trying to prove their strength. Ckay had ordered all woman and children in for protection.

Tacoma had come down to help eliminate the problem, and help keep everyone safe. Everyone was at the clubhouse except Devon, and Gemma had heard the struggle in the back ground.

Happy took off for his bike, as soon as Gemma had mentioned that Devon was in trouble. He didn't wait for anyone to go with him, he took off for her house. He pulled into her drive, followed seconds later by Jax, Opie, Tig, and Kozik. Getting off their bikes. They heard a scream coming from the inside the house, pulling their guns they split up. The front door was already kicked open, Happy Koz, and Jax, waited for Tig and Opie to kick in the back door. The screams were getting louder. They started searching the house, looking for Devon. Following the screams to the laundry room, pushing the door open, the men had their guns ready to shoot.

Standing in disbelieve in what they saw before them, a large man wearing only boxers, taped to a chair, Devon standing before him holding a taser in her hand.

"Stop screaming like a fucking girl! Answer the question! Who fucking sent you!" The man wouldn't answer her, she fired up the taser, and held it against his crotch and zapped him. He screamed like a girl, she grinned, and watched him twitch. She felt a hand on her shoulder, turning, she grabbed the person by the throat, and slammed them against the wall. Not seeing who it was, she had the taser ready to strike, another hand clamped over her wrist.

She started to struggle, not wanting to drop her only weapon, an arm snaked around her waist, trying to pull her back. "Easy short stack!" She blinked a couple of times, seeing Jax against the wall, she let go. She relaxed against Opie's chest.

She started to shake, tears running down her face. "I'm sorry..." Jax came forward hugging her, kissing her forehead.

"It's okay." She looked around the room, seeing the others staring at her, she pushed away from Opie and Jax, bolting from the room.

She couldn't breathe as she ran up the stairs to her bedroom, she slammed her door locking it. Pulling a bag from her closet, she started throwing clothes inside, she went to the bathroom, grabbing toiletries. Returning to the bedroom she threw them into the bag, she heard someone knocking on the door. Devon just stared at the door, not wanting to open it.

"Dev, baby let me in." Jax said, trying to open the door. She stood still, not moving hoping he'd just give up and walk away. She crept slowly towards the bedroom door, she didn't hear the man sneaking up behind her. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her against him, she struggled against him, he held on to her tightly.

He turned her around, so she could see him, his dark eyes, looking into her light ones. "Dev it's okay. You're safe!" She melted into Happy's arms, laying her head on his chest, her whole body shaking. He picked her up, carrying her to the door, unlocking it, before carrying her to the bed. Sitting down, he held her on his lap. Stroking her hair, he wiped away her tears.

"I'm sorry...I shouldn't have freaked out that way." He didn't say anything, just continued to hold her. "Is Jax's okay?"

"He's fine, although after seeing what you did to that guy down stairs, and how you went after Jax, I don't think anyone in the club will ever mess with you." He looked over seeing her bag. "You going somewhere?"

"I was going to take off..."

He pulled away from her, his hands going to her face, his eye color changing intensity. "You were going to run off again?"

"Hap..." She got up walking away. "I'm terrified..."

He got up going to her, he turned her around, lifting her chin up, forcing her to look at him. "Of what?" His voice took on a softer tone, his eyes went back to a deep chocolate color.

"Of everything, of not being good enough, of not being able to hold it together...I'm a Teller, I'm suppose to be stronger."

"You are the strongest woman I know, most woman would have fallen apart a long time ago. And on those rare days, if and when you do come apart, you have the right. Any time you do come apart and don't feel strong, you have me to lean on. As far as not good enough, I think you're fucking perfect." He lowered his lips to her, gently kissing her, she wrapped her arms around him.

They just stood there holding each other, she wasn't sure how long they stood there. It wasn't until they heard a clearing throat that they looked towards the door, Jax and Tig were standing in the doorway. "Clay called, he wants us back at the club ASAP! Juice has taken care of the man in the laundry room, Ope has fixed the door. Where's Sam?"

"He's at the Vet, getting fixed." She pulled away from Happy grabbing her bag. "I take it, we're on lock down?" Happy took the bag from her, his arm wrapping around her waist.

"Yeah, so let's get a move on." She followed them out of the house.

As soon as Devon walked into the club house her Ma pulled her into a hug. "I'm okay, I swear." Clay was the next one to hug her, then Chibs and Bobby. She swore to them she was fine, that he hadn't laid a hand on her, he didn't get a chance to.

"Baby girl, that man is almost three times your size. How in the hell did you over power him, and get him taped to a chair?" Clay asked.

She closed her eyes, and let out a long exhale. "I screamed like a girl and ran to the laundry room. I pretended to be passed out on the floor, when he was leaning over me, getting ready to touch me, I hit him with the iron. Once he was bent over holding himself, I hit him in the head with it, knocking him out. I pulled his clothes off, pulled him in the chair, taped him to it..."

She looked over, seeing Happy's face, it was beyond livid, he got up, storming outside. She followed him, his back was to her. She touched his shoulders, he flinched, shrugging her touch off. She stepped back, feeling slightly hurt at his rejection, he turned around, pulling her into his arms.

"Did that mother fucker touch you?"

"No, I knock him out before he could." She watched him close his eyes. "He didn't hurt me..."

"He could have, why didn't you run out of the house? Instead you trapped yourself in a room with him!"

"I didn't think about it..." She was crushed to his chest. "I'm sorry..." She could hear his hear beating out of control, she was lifted off the ground. She wrapped her legs around his waist, her arms went around his neck. Pulling back, she looked into his eyes, she leaned in to kiss him. "I love you."

"I love you too."

Their make out session was interrupted, Happy had to go out and try to get answers out of the guy that was in her house. She watched him, and Opie ride away from the clubhouse, she went back inside to find something to eat. Sitting at the bar, she ate a sandwich before going to Happy's dorm room, she curled up on his bed.

The door swung open, she looked to see Lacey one of the croweaters standing in the door. "What the hell are you doing here?" She sneered at Devon.

"I could ask you the same thing whore!" She was sitting up in Happy's bed, looking at the woman.

"Honey, you need to find a different place to sleep. I'm going to wait for Happy to get back, I've been keeping him company the last few days. Ever since you turned him down to be his old lady."

"You're a lying sack of shit, get out before I pull your fake blonde hair out one strand at a time!"

Lacey smiled at her. "You'll see sweetheart, just be prepared to sleep somewhere else when Happy kicks you out when he gets back. He's done with your ass."

"He wasn't done with me this afternoon!" She laid back down on the bed.

"He feels sorry for you, like everyone else in this club. You're nothing more then a crack whore's kid that got lucky." She slammed the door on her way out. Devon tried to hold back the tears, but she had no control. In truth, she had no right to get upset if he had turned to a croweater, she had pushed him away. She wiped the tears away, it upset her that this whore knew their business.

She got up from his bed, leaving his room, she didn't want to be in here right now. She went out to the bar, planning on getting absolutely shit faced drunk. She didn't want to think about anything anymore.

Happy had gotten the answers he needed, he found out where this new MC was hiding. He called Clay, Tacoma and some of the guys had taken off to take care of the problem. He was on his way back to the club, ready to curl up with Devon in bed, and hopefully talk about her being his old lady again. He backed his bike up, parking it, getting off he made his way into the club.

Going straight to his room, he found it dark, he saw her sleeping in his bed. He made his way to the bathroom, taking a shower, he smiled when the shower curtain was pulled back. He spun around when two strange arms wrapped around his waist, he pulled them away from him. Glaring at the woman in the shower with him, he gave her a push out.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" He grabbed a towel wrapping it around his waist.

"Hey baby, I'm just here to please you."

"Get the hell away from me, whore! I have an old lady!"

"I know you don't baby! If you did she'd be in your bed instead of me." He heard a noise near the door, looking up he saw Devon standing looking at the two of them. She spun around to leave, Happy came after her, grabbing her arm, pulling her to his chest.

"Please let me explain. She just showed up in my room...look at me! She looked into his eyes. "I love you, I wouldn't jeopardize losing you..." She closed her eyes, leaning into him, letting her lips rest on his collarbone. Lacey came out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around her body, she giggled.

"Thanks for the good time Hap!" Devon pulled away from him, looking at the blonde. In her heart she knew that Happy was telling her the truth, he pulled her back into his arms.

"Get the fuck out of this clubhouse, and don't come back." He growled at the towel clad croweater. They both watched as she picked up her clothes, leaving the room. Happy picked Devon up, carrying her to the bed.

"I have to change the sheets, they reek of whore!"

She woke up the next morning alone, frowning she got up, getting ready for the day. Making her way into the main room of the clubhouse, it was nearly abandoned, she went into the kitchen, pouring herself a cup of coffee. "Hey baby! How are you this morning?"

"I'm okay Ma. How are you?" Gemma hugged her, pouring her own cup of coffee.

"I'm good sweetheart."

"Where is everyone? It's so quiet in here."

"The boys had things to do, and the crows are cleaning." The two woman walked out to the main room, sitting down at the bar. She looked up in time to see Lacey smirking at her from the corner.

"Un-fucking-believable!" She got up going over to the woman. "You aren't welcome here anymore, get your skank ass out and don't come back."

"Sweetie, you don't have the right to throw me out." Gemma came to stand behind her daughter, her arm going around her shoulder.

"If my daughter tells you to leave and not to come back,, then it's just as good as me telling you too!" Lacey huffed going to the back and getting her things. She walked out of the club, turning around to glare at the woman.

"I'll be sure to ask Jax what he has to say about this." Devon walked over to her, standing with her toe to toe.

"Listen up you little whore! My brother will throw you out on your bony ass as soon as I tell him what you said to me, and what you did. In fact, he may send you off to be a special project of Tig's, and I don't mean the good kind. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!"

Gemma came to stand next to her. "Baby, that was fabulous, I have my doubts that Tara has what it takes to be Queen, I know she has you to rely on."

"Ma, please Tara just needs guidance and lessons." She smiled, laying her head on her mom's shoulder.

"How are you and Hap doing?"

"We're doing...fine I guess."

"What's wrong baby?" She let out a sigh, letting her shoulders drop.

"I love him, he says he loves me..."

"Why do you doubt him? Has he given you reason to?"

She closed her eyes. "No, I just...he asked me to take his crow."

"When is he inking you?"

"I told him no, it was after I got home from the hospital. After he disappeared and then came back...I told him I needed to think about it."

"Baby, you can't do things like that, not with men like Happy. It's huge that he asked you to be his old lady, he's not one to do relationships. Do you want his crow?"

She closed her eyes for a few minutes. "Yes."

"Then you need to tell him." She hugged her, kissing the top of her head.

Devon was pacing in Happy's room, waiting for him to come back, from where ever he'd been all day. Her stomach was in knots, she heard the roar of bikes coming into the lot. She sat down on his bed, waiting for him, to come in. The door slowly opened, he was standing in front of her.

"Hap." She went to him, wrapping her arms around him. "I love you, with all my heart. If you still want me, I want to take your crow, I want to be your old lady."

He looked down at her. "No."
