A/N: Don't hate me! this is more of a filler chapter to transition us into the start of the show! I promise there will be a better chapter next go round!

When Lexi got into Happy's room, she did a quick check on the boys before making her way to the bathroom. Once there she checked her cheek to see how red it was. She could still feel the sting but knew Cami couldn't have done much damage. Much to her surprise, there was actually a small cut on her upper cheekbone barely bleeding. As she started cleaning the drying blood she heard the door open. Peeking around the door she saw Happy checking on the boys. Lexi knew she had to be quick at this point. She wasn't expecting Happy to have joined her so quickly.

"Ba--Jesus fuck Lex what happened?" Happy questioned urgently.

"It's nothing," she answered sniffling. She had been able to get tears flowing right as Happy made it in the door.

"Bullshit Lexi. That wasn't there a few minutes ago. Talk to me..."

"It was that bitch Cami. She pretty much attacked me in the hallway," Lexi told him gauging his reaction. If there was a single thing she learned well from her mother, it was manipulation.

"I'm going to fucking kill her," he growled going to leave the room.

"Hap no! Think about the boys."

"I am thinking about them and you. I'm not gonna let her just disrespect you like you're trash. You're my old lady and she will show you respect."

"Baby, just ignore it. She has feelings for you. Swears I stole you away from her or some shit."

"That's not the fucking point Lexi. I haven't been with the bitch in any way for damn near two fucking years. I was done and gone before you and I started anything and even more so by the time you started coming around SAMTAC."

That was the answer she wanted to hear. Seeing his distress and anger at the situation confirmed what she suspected. Cami may be running her mouth to the other sweet butts but Happy hadn't stepped out on her. The closer they'd gotten the better Lexi could read his emotions and in her eyes there was no way he'd been with Cami behind her back. Hell he was currently ready to go to war for her.

"Can we just deal with it later? I'm tired and just want you to hold me."

"Fine, but don't think this is over," he told her going back out into the room.

The next day when Lexi woke up, she was in bed alone. The boys were both still sleeping soundly so Lexi set up the monitor and went in search of their father. It didn't take long before she found him in the kitchen, arguing with Cami.

"You EVER make ANY form of contact with my old lady again, there will be fucking hell to pay," he snarled at her.

"I'm not the one who comes looking when they're drunk Hap! That's all you," Cami shot back.

"I haven't done that shit in a long time and you know it. I have a family now. They're my priority."

"Why? Because you knocked up SAMCRO's little princess? Fuck that Happy. You know she doesn't take care of you like I could. Like I always did."

"You're right, she does a hell of a better job. So leave shit be. Her calm nature will crack soon and I won't be saving your ass when it does."

"You wouldn't be protecting me if there wasn't still feelings," Cami mumbled

"There's no feelings! I love her. Even if she wasn't in the picture, I sure as fuck wouldn't be coming to you. Get it through your fucking head! LEAVE MY FAMILY THE FUCK ALONE," he screamed at her before stomping from the room and running right into Lexi.

"Everything o--"

Lexi didn't even get to finish her sentence before Happy glued his lips to hers. He lifted her easily and she wrapped her legs around his waist as her back hit the wall and he started kissing down her neck.

"Happppp," she moaned. "We can't do this in the hall."

"Didn't care last night outside," he mumbled into her neck.

She gave no response in return. He then pulled away from the wall and carried Lexi into the laundry room where he sat her on the washer. Happy wasted no time removing her pajama pants and leaning down to bury his face in her core. Lexi was quickly losing any train of coherent thought as Happy licked and bit at her sensitive clit. Raising back up he turned the knob on the washer to spin and pushed into her with no warning.

"Ffffuuuuuuucccccckkkkkkkk," she moaned at the sudden fullness.

Happy then pulled her face to his locking in eye contact before telling her, "I fucking love you Alexis."

"I love you too Hap."

Between the washer and Happy's thrusting it didn't take long before Lexi reached her climax with a loud moan. Happy came shortly after leaning into her for support.

"Feel better?" Lexi asked him after they caught their breath.

"Yeah some what. Let's get the boys and go to Charming. I need to get away for a few days."

"Okay. Are you taking your bike? Bec was going to ride with me anyway."

"Yeah that's fine if she's gonna go. Just incase the club needs me for anything you'll have extra hands."

The trip to Charming seemed like it took forever now that they had the twins. Between gas and bathroom breaks for the adults they had to stop more often for diaper changes and to feed the kids. They finally made it to the SAMCRO clubhouse around seven that night. Seeing all the bikes, Lexi had a feeling the guys would be in church since many didn't know they were coming. She loaded the twins into the stroller with Happy's help and the group made their way inside with Lexi leading the pack.

"Can I help you ma'am?" Asked a nervous little mouse of a man from behind the bar.

"Yeah, get our fucking bags prospect," Happy told him walking into the bar behind Lexi.

"Uhh yes sir," the kid said running from the bar.

About the time he made it outside, the chapel doors opened and the men exited to the main room.

"Hey princess!" Tig exclaimed greeting the group.

"Hey Tiggy," she replied hugging him before going to hug her father.

"We've missed you princess," Clay told her kissing the top of her head and giving her a side hug.

"Missed you too Daddy."

The father and daughter stood watching the members of SAMCRO greet the twins with smiles on their faces. It was funny how easily the tough bikers could turn to jello at the sight of children.

"Been talking to Lee," Clay started. "You've done a pretty good job integrating yourself into SAMTAC. He says they're lucky to have you."

"I've just followed ma's footsteps and the lessons I've been taught my whole life," she replied.

"Well we're proud of you," Clay told her before walking towards the boys and addressing the others. "Hand over my grandsons. You all have shit to do."

Once most of the group walked away, Lexi noticed her brother sitting at the bar alone drinking straight from a bottle of Jack Daniels. Checking the boys were good and under the watchful eye of their father she made her way over to him.

"Hey J, having a pity party?"

"Nah. Just got a fucking headache from trying to deal with Wendy. She hasn't been getting me the hospital bills."

"We've told you for years to wrap that shit. You brought this on yourself."

"I know mother," he mocked shaking his head. "I really did think things were different this time. She won't even answer my calls or messages the last few weeks. Pitched a fit when I tried getting her to test for the family flaw."

"I'll run by tomorrow. Play dumb about you not being there see if I can get through to her."

"Thanks I really appreciate it."

"It's nothing. Now quit being a grump and go see your nephews."

"I'll spend some time with them tomorrow. I got club shit to do and if I don't head out soon, Clay will have my ass," he told her rising from his seat.

"If you say so."

Lexi hugged her brother and made her way back over to Happy.

"He good?" Hap asked.

"Don't know but I'll badger him later. You check in with Daddy? Will you still free for a bit."

"Whatever you need to do. Clay said there's a run later this week and some other shit going down if I want in but I'm free tonight."

"Good. Want to go see your ma tomorrow if you can get away?"

"Yeah that'd be fine. You let Gem know we're here yet?"

Before Happy finished asking her the question about her mother, the woman came strolling through the front door. It was as if Happy mentioning her had summoned her to them. She quickly made a beeline and grabbed Harley from Lexi. Not willing to try grabbing Barrett from his father. Happy was extremely protective when it came to his boys. The only person he'd let take the kids from him was Lexi.

"How long have you been here?" Gemma asked between smothering her grandson with kisses.

"Just got in," Lexi answered as Happy walked to the bar for a beer.

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming? I'll have the prospect take your bags to my place."

"It was supposed to be a surprise ma," Lexi answered ignoring the invitation to her parents home. She may have been repairing their relationship, but being in their domain made her still on edge at time.

"We're staying in my dorm Gemma," Happy said coming back and handing Lexi Barrett.

"Nonsense! The boys don't need to be staying here."

"The boys will be fine. Plus there's club shit going down, my family will stay close to me," He told her with a finality in his voice.

"It's fine mom. Plus this way the boys won't be waking y'all up all night."

"If it's what you want."

"It is," Happy told her before addressing Lexi. "Let's get the boys to bed so I can shower."

"Sounds good. I'm exhausted." Lexi replied handing him back Barrett. Lexi then reached for Harley and addressed her mother. "We'll do breakfast in the morning?"

"Sure baby, get some rest." Gemma said handing over the baby and kissing her daughter's head. "Come by the house around nine. I'll have things ready."

"See you tomorrow," Lexi said in departure following Happy down the hall.

Getting to Happy's dorm room, Lexi was glad to see the prospect had put up the playpens for the twins already making it one less thing she'd have to get ready. Setting Harley down on the bed, she looked to Happy who was playing next to them with Barrett.

"Want to tell me why you were so snippy?"

"I wasn't."

"You kinda were. What's going on?"

"Club shit. I guess the weapon warehouse got blown up late last night. Guys are doing damage control."

"Fuck. All our guys are okay though? They can't trace it to the club can they?"

"Don't know. But if it's rival like Clay thinks I don't want you three out of my sight. Or seen around town if we can avoid it," he told her. "If I would have known, this trip wouldn't have happened."

"It'll be okay Hap. You'll get whoever's responsible."

"Just promise me you and Bec will keep a low profile. Koz will have my head if anything happens to her."

"Of course babe. I'm going to shower, you good?"

"Yeah, I'll get one when you're done."

Lexi rose from the bed and kissed both boys on the head before kissing Happy and heading to the bathroom. She quickly turned the water as hot as she could tolerate and climbed in. The trip had definitely taken it's toll on her muscles. She could only imagine how Happy was feeling since he rode down on his bike. After washing her body and hair Lexi exited the bathroom to see Happy asleep on the bed with Harley on his chest and Barrett snuggled into his side. All three of her boys snoring softly. With a chuckle she shifted the twins into their own beds and crawled in beside Happy drifting off quickly.
