"Why are you shouting?" Happy groggily walked into his youngest daughter's nursery, rubbing his eyes as he watched the baby girl stand up against the crib rails. "It's two in the morning, not wake up time." He lifted her up and settled her in his arms. "Put your head down. Mama is trying to sleep, your siblings are sleeping and so are the suits. Why aren't you?"

Ashtyn whimpered as she tucked her arms between their bodies and started to curl up. "Dad."

"Oh, bad dream huh? Ok? Let's lay down then huh?" Happy Lowman moved to the closet, opening it to grab a blanket out of the baskets. "I got you, kid. No one can mess with you or I'll kick their asses." He made his way to the gray sofa and gently laid down, draping the blanket over them. "I've always got you, Tiny. You're my girl, you know that? My favorite little sidekick."

Ashtyn turned her head to burrow further in his arms. "Da-da."

"Start the back rub." Jacey whispered as she leaned against the doorjamb. "She'll be back out in a minute. Or are you prepared to be there for the next seven hours?"

Happy shrugged lazily. "I am, I'm not leaving my girl when she needs me. I got her, go back to bed. It's all ok." He nuzzled the baby girl and sighed. "Been dying for these cuddles since she was born and I finally got the real deal. She's just like Cami was."

"Ah, so you are still alive?" Jacey Lowman inquired as she finished packing the back of her black Range Rover, her husband rubbing his eyes as he walked toward her. "Your pants are unbuttoned, honey. You should get it together."

Happy flipped the woman off as he approached her, kissing her cheek. "Where are you running off to with my children?" He buttoned his jeans up and looked into the backseat of the SUV. "Where are my children?"

"The youngest is in the driver's seat trying to figure out how to drive by herself. The eldest is in the backyard with a camera. The middle two are separated because Kol finally pushed my girl to the edge and she punched him." Jacey shrugged lazily as she pointed to her eye. "He is not happy but it was his fault. She warned him three times before I intervened and he still didn't listen. He even messed up her drawing."

The man sighed heavily as he shook his head. "I don't know if I should be proud of her or give her a stern conversation, or pop him upside his head. I'm definitely at a loss here." he leaned against the SUV, his arms crossed over his bare chest. "Damn, Jace."

"Well, Cami was told to sit by herself for a bit to cool off and think about what her anger made her do. Kol is sitting by himself because he needs to learn to stop pushing people's buttons and he's also icing the eye." Jacey shrugged again. "Charming to check on Jackson then Malibu. I want sand and water and that comfy bed. I need Ash in the water too."

"Da!" Ashtyn popped her head over the driver's seat, her teal colored eyes beaming at the man as she giggled through the SUV. "Da!"

Happy turned around, his dark eyes lighting up at the sight of his baby girl and her dimpled grin. "Baby! What are you doing up there? Are you driving today or are you letting mama handle the driving?" He chuckled as he looked back at the blonde. "She's a funny thing."

"Mama." Ashtyn held Jacey's phone and smiled, holding it to her ear. "Hello?"

Jacey laughed softly as she held her pretend phone to her ear. "Hello? Oh, my Ash? Oh hi."

"Oh mama." Ashtyn dropped the phone and started waving at the blonde. "Mama."

Happy looked at the time on the dashboard and shook his head. "Did you grab extra clothes and stuff for me? I'll meet you out there tomorrow. Gotta force myself to sleep tonight. Why'd you let me sleep so long, babe?"

"Because you were up all night with her. She's been having a blast, skipped nap time and all. No attitude, just playing and enjoying herself." Jacey shrugged once more as she approached the driver's side and reached in to started the SUV before she pressed the garage button with a home symbol. "Ok, let's go, pretty girl. We have to go see Uncle Jackson."

Jacey pulled into the parking lot of Teller-Morrow and she rolled her eyes, the name never changed. She couldn't imagine how she never noticed until now. Four years later, four years after the death of Clay and Gemma Morrow. But Jacey shook her head, pushing the thoughts out of her head as she parked the SUV. She got out of the SUV, checking the backseat to see her eldest children were napping while her very youngest was wide awake and grinning at her.

"You have to sleep at some point." Jacey murmured as she got the baby girl out of the carseat and closed the door, leaving the SUV running and passing the keyfob to her daughter. "Lock it but don't play with the alarm." She started for the clubhouse, only to stop at the sound of a whistle and she turned to see Opie standing with Tig, Chibs and a young man. "Ah, let's go bother them before we go find your uncle." She changed her path to the men standing at the open bay, coming to an easy stop in front of the men. "Still whistling at me expecting me to bark?"

Chibs pulled Jacey into a tight side hug. "You would only bark back to aggravate the man. How are ya, love?" He rubbed Ashtyn's arm. "Gorgeous thing, where did you get her? Certainly can't be Happy's girl if she's this pretty."

"Nah, none of them are Hap's kids. They're too cute." Opie chuckled as he took Ashtyn from the blonde. "What's this? Did you get me a new car?"

Ashtyn held the keys up to the burly man before shaking her head. "No, no. Hairy Papa."

"Not Hairy Papa, that's Opie. Uncle Opie." Jacey smiled as her icy gaze landed on Tig. "Come on, out with it. Get your snarky remarks out before it is too late. I won't be here long."

Tig chuckled as he pointed to Jax walking out of the clubhouse with a prospect. "There's always another day, Blondie. Pretty Boy always has to protect his baby sister."

"Don't fool yourself, you don't like anyone else fucking with me either." The blonde shook her head. "Take his dumbass to the ring, I would but I'm on a mission to the beach."

Jax grinned as he stopped short of his sister, pulling her into a hug. "Jacey J! What are you doing here? Hey! It's my gorgeous girl, let me see her." He took Ashtyn from Opie and started to pepper her face with kisses, stopping briefly at the sound of her giggle. "What brings you to your favorite place?"

"Came to check in with you." Jacey reached up, wiping at Ashtyn's chin. "You are drooling, chubs. You're too tired, lay your head down or Uncle Jackie will have to give you back." She shrugged her shoulders. "I came to check on you and let you see your nieces and nephew but two out of three didn't make it all."

Jax shook his head. "Did you put your brother and sister to sleep? I need to see them, Ash, you can't knock them out." He looked at Jacey before he looked at Opie. "Yeah, I'm good. It was all a conscious decision to end it and hopefully work on everything. I don't know. The kids are good though, you and Hap good?"

Opie rolled his eyes. "You always change the subject. Don't you think we'd know if Hap wasn't good right now? He'd go on another rampage across Washington like a few years back."

"We'll get to that in a second. Why are you asking about my babies when we could be talking about yours?" Jacey cocked an eyebrow at her brother, crossing her arms over her chest. "And make this mutt stop drooling over me. I'm married and completely uninterested in some twig prospect."

Jax laughed softly as he looked at the prospect behind him. "Go clean up the bar and quit checking Happy's wife out. He'll kill you if he finds out." He waited for the prospects to leave before focusing on Jacey again as he started to rock back and forth at the direction of his sister. "The boys are good, I'm going to work out shit with Wendy for visitation on Abel again and get all the boys to meet and spend time together." He sighed heavily. "Bri is good, she is working at the clinic again and the kids are in school."

"You should do that, Jax. Work on your relationship with Abel, work on a co-parenting plan with Wendy so all can work out properly. I told you to be a parent, be a Father to your kids. It's not difficult to love them. You love her so easily, she's all mine though." She took her now sleeping daughter back into her arms. "We should get going, it's a long drive to Malibu and I want to get there in time for dinner. I'll see you guys later."

"Stop, fucker." Happy growled at the keypad as he punched in the code to silence the alarm, he wasn't quick enough though. He could hear the whining from upstairs and he knew he'd be getting a hand upside his head for waking up the house. He knew Ashtyn was the worst to get back to sleep and he knew she would fight her sleep if she could. "Shit. Don't abuse me this time." He noticed the blonde at the top of the stairs, rocking gently with their youngest daughter in her arms. "I love you."

Jacey rolled her eyes as she slowly turned around, making her way back down the long hall to Ashtyn's room. She could feel her husband hot on her heels as she started to hum to her daughter. "I love you, always and forever. Near and far, close and together." She whispered as she stared down at her daughter, pale blue eyes to teal eyes. "Everywhere I will be with you, everything I will do for you." She continued to sway back and forth as she started to rub Ashtyn's back.

"Welcome to the nineties, Ashtyn." Happy smirked as he stood in the doorway of the room, watching his wife so effortlessly comfort the baby girl from being woken up. He could not ever understand the woman and how she could so easily wake up and immediately come to their children's rescue. It amazed him, possibly in due part to the fact that it took him a solid amount of time to wake up and start functioning before he even dared to figure out which of their kids was upset.

Jacey looked back as she started walking to the crib to lay her daughter back down. "Back to sleep she goes. That song gets her every time, she likes the nineties. You know that." She whispered as she approached the man, pushing him out of the room. "Late for a reason or just like to push my buttons?"

"Oh, I definitely love pushing your button but I lost track of time. I was in the studio, finishing up some work I started and looked up to see that down clock say ten. I finished and that is what matters, thank you very much." Happy wrapped his arms around the blonde before he dropped his hands to her hips and he lifted her up. "I'm glad you're up though, I was going to be bored without my pretty wife to annoy."

Tugging on his ear, Jacey shook her head. "I'm not just up all la-de-da. You woke me up, bastard. I don't need to be annoyed, I'm perfectly content crawling back in bed and passing out for three hours until my human alarm clock goes off. She's cute, I got her for free too so I decided I would like to keep her."

"Oh come on, we're up together. We could go take a walk or sit by the pool and I can really annoy you." Happy flashing her a cheeky grin. "Or better yet, we could have another kid. It does take a while to actually get that package delivered but I know you like the anticipation and excitement of checking the expected delivery date and updates daily." He nodded eagerly as he entered their room and dropped Jacey on the bed. He grabbed the hem of the black t-shirt she had on and pulled it over her head, leaving her completely exposed. "Never get tired of this sight you're so damn perfect, Jace."

She leaned up on her elbows as she stared at the man for a moment before she sat up and grabbed a hold of his belt, slowly unbuckling it before she grabbed the button to undo with the zipper slowly gliding down the short track. She kept her icy gaze locked on his much darker gaze as she started to pull the jeans down, taking the boxers down with the dark article of clothing. She watched him pull his shirt over his head and her hands started to travel up his torso to his shoulders before she raked her nails back down his torso, making him tense slightly before he eased up as the sight and feeling of the blonde's tongue on his hard shaft.

"That's good, baby." He mumbled as he watched the blonde take him completely into her mouth, their eyes connected as Jacey started to slowly bob her head, a hand on his thigh. "Don't torture me."

She dug her nails into the tan skin of his thigh as she pulled away from him only to suck the tip into her mouth. Her free hand wrapping around his shaft, applying slight pressure as she started to pump her hand. "I do what I want." She murmured against him, watching his eyes flutter shut. Jacey knew he wouldn't last long, he never did. She pulled away again, sliding off of the bed and pulling her black cheekster panties down.

"Tease." He grabbed her hips and turned her around, pushing at the blonde's back to bend her over the edge of the bed. "You're fucking soaked." He smirked as he trailed his fingers through her folds before he leaned down to trail his tongue through her slick folds, groaning at the sound of his wife whimpering. "Always tastes so fucking good. I don't know what I want to do first, baby." He started to suck on her clit, wrapping his arms around her legs as she tried to move. "Nope, want this first. Been awhile since I've had you."

Jacey tried to relax, feeling her release already building. She always came fast and hard for the man but nothing ever compared to the feeling of his tongue in her sopping folds for the first time in a while. "Make me cum."

"In due time." His hand travelled to her center, fingers sliding into her entrance before he groaned against her. She shuttered and the release hit her abruptly. "That's it, feels so good, doesn't it? Sweet, so fucking sweet, Jace. Cum for me, baby." He continued to thrust his fingers into her as he sucked on her clit. "Cum, Jace." He abruptly pulled away from the blonde, standing upright to place his member at her entrance and he slammed into her, starting a quick pace. "Goddamn, Jacey, you're so fucking tight."

"Holy shit, son." Happy Lowman chuckled as he eyed his son. The black eye he was sporting looked way worse than what it felt like. "Who whooped your ass?"

Kol started glaring at his father as he climbed into the chair across from Happy at the kitchen table. "Leave me alone, dad." He grabbed his cup of juice and started to sip it as he kept his glare.

"Your glare would scare me easier if you didn't have that black eye. Did you learn your lesson yet?" Happy passed a plate of bacon and toast to the four year old before plating an omelet. "I tell you all the time not to piss your siblings off but you never listen. Your sisters are meaner than you, they don't put up with your shit either. You better learn that quick."

Jacey walked into the kitchen, towards the nook with her daughters in tow. "Beach ready but also ready for breakfast." She sat down beside her son, leaning down to kiss his head. "You must learn that your sisters are your allies, not your enemies. You are much stronger with them than without them. Finish your breakfast and we'll go find a pair of trunks."

"They're just mean." Kol shook his head slowly. "I rather not have them."

Happy shook his head. "Nah, they're defensive. You like to bother them instead of co-existing with them, instead of just spending time learning them to know they're not bad." He pointed to Ashtyn. "She barely talks and you give her hell for no reason, it's crazy kid."

"It's because he is a mean boy." Camryn shook her head slowly. "Meanest brother in the whole world."

Kol shook his head frantically as he looked between his parents. "I'm not mean. Mama, right? Say yes, mama."

"You can be mean, Kol. That's what we try to tell you. Bothering people is mean, aggravating your sisters who do not bother you at all is mean, babe." Jacey allowed her son to climb in her lap and he laid his head down on her shoulder, burying his face in her neck. "You have to stop trying to show out."
