Killers Never Die

Family

Tyler smiled as she looked over to the bar where Tony and Sam were drawing pictures together. She was supposed to be in her room getting some rest, but she couldn't sleep without Sam by her side so she wound up on the couch. "It's fucking bullshit, Jax!" Happy yelled as he stalked out of the chapel. He was heading for Tony, Tyler bolted up from her seat on the couch and grabbed Sam before retreating to a corner of the room and turning so that Sam couldn't see anything.

"Hap!" Jax yelled in protest. "No! If he can fuck my Old Lady and try to play house with my kid then he can act like a man and fucking own up to it!" Happy growled as he reached Tony. "What are you asking me to own up to, brother? The fact that your girl and your kid are calling me daddy?" Tony asked with a smirk and Tyler passed Sam off to Tig. "You better watch your mouth, boy." Happy snarled. "Hey!" Tyler shouted and shoved her way between them. "Knock it off! I haven't fucked either one of you since before SAMCRO showed up in Nevada, and Sam couldn't give less of a shit about either one of you. So lower the testosterone in the room before you hurt my kid." she snapped at them both.

Tyler took Sam back from Tig, as everyone in the room stared at Tyler in shock that she'd actually said how she felt. "Come on, Tigger." she sighed as she carried Sam out of the clubhouse.

As the odd trio sat in the ice cream shop, Tig let out a long sigh. "Alright, kid. We've gotta talk about this." Tig said and Tyler rolled her eyes. "What's up with Tony?" Tig asked and Tyler sighed. "Fine, I'll tell you just because you're my uncle but I swear if anyone else finds out, I'll kill you, Tigger." she said and he nodded. "When I first moved to Nevada, I got the bar tending job and I'd had it for about two weeks and Tony came in everyday. I got to know him pretty well. Then one night it was like one am, and I was leaving the club and some guy in the alley attacked me, raped me, busted up my ribs, and gave me one hell of a concussion. I was pretty fucked up after it, after a few months of being all jumpy and skittish I figured maybe if I had sex with someone I knew it would get me more comfortable with people again. So that's why I fucked Tony." Tyler explained.

"Jesus, Ty, are you okay? Why didn't you call? I oughta kill that guy." Tig began to ramble. "I'm fine." Tyler snapped and got up, picking up Sam. "Let's just go back to the clubhouse, and shut up about it." Tyler snapped at him again.

When they reached the clubhouse Tyler went straight for her new dorm and locked the door behind her. She and Sam played together for a few moments before Happy came in. He walked in silently and shut the door behind him, locking it again. He pulled the chair out from the desk and sat down, watching Tyler and his son. "Sit on the floor, I want to show you something." Tyler said and Happy did as he was told. Tyler sat on the floor on the other side of the room and held Sam, whispering to him, and pointing at Happy. Sam nodded and giggled so Tyler set him down. He walked to Happy, stumbling a few times but mostly a perfect walk. When he reached Happy he held out his hand like he was going to shake hands. Happy shook the child's hand, "I'm Sam, nice to meet you." Sam said, stumbling over his words more than he stumbled walking. "Good job, little man." Happy grinned at him.

Sam stumbled off to go play with whatever toy caught his attention and Happy looked at Tyler. "You're doing good with him." Happy said clearing his throat. "Thanks." Tyler said and stood up, digging in her backpack and getting out the medicine seconds before his watch even went off. After she gave him his medicine, she turned to face Happy who pulled her tight against his chest and held her, kissing the top of her head. "He's good with you, he's safe and he's smart and he's doing good. So if you really don't want him to know the truth, I'm okay, just let me watch him grow up." Happy begged.

She just hugged him back and stayed quiet. "I need time to figure my own head out, okay? Then I'll figure out everything else." she told him and he nodded. "Are you okay, Ty? You seem...different." he told her. She gave him a sad smile and kissed his cheek, right next to his lips, "I love you, Hap." she said quietly and he hugged her tighter. "I love you, little girl." he whispered back. "Mommy, is Happy my daddy?" Sam asked from behind them. Tyler pulled away from Happy's embrace, immediately losing her feeling of safety, and picked Sam up and put him on the bed.
