whoa. it's been a long time coming. some revisions and doubts but it's here. a sequel to Sirens. I kept this chapter light and an easy read. I have other chapters ready to go. So, let's have another fun adventure together. It's been nice to take time away from my other stories and start something fresh but those will be getting updated within the week. Enough said, let's go.
"Happy, grab them." Aries looked at the man and shook her head slowly, watching as the twins started to climb up their dad's body. "Or not, you already have them. I can't do this though." She poked out her bottom lip. "I can't send them off to preschool babe."
"They're ready." Happy nodded as he set his daughter to her feet. "Look at them, backpacks on and everything. It's cute babe."
"No." She picked up her daughter. "Corinna do you wanna go to school or stay home with Mommy?"
"School!" Corinna giggled. "Daddy says we're going to learn so much!"
"Oh, my poor heart. What about you baby? Cillian." She looked at her son. "School or home with me babe?"
"School! I gotta protect my sister." Cillian nodded eagerly. "Dad told me I gotta always look out for her. She's a tiny thing. You see?"
"I see that your dad has poisoned you against me." Aries wiped her eyes. "You're only three and I want to keep you home with me. Not send you to preschool."
"They'll be fine." Happy hugged the brunette and rubbed her back. "Get it together. If you cry they cry. We have things to do today and they need to learn so much stuff in school."
"I don't think that's even proper English." She sighed. "Fine, fine, let's take them before I lose my nerve and want to keep them home and take them with us."
"No kids allowed where we're going." He kissed the brunette. "Babe, they'll be gone four hours and then we'll have them back. It will go by fast, I promise. Now let's go."

"My babies…" Aries hugged her children tightly. "You have to be good for your teacher, ok? If she tells me you were bad, I will have to pop your asses, you hear me?"
"Yes, mom." Corinna giggled as she moved to hug her dad. "Bye daddy, I'm gonna learn so much stuffs, I'll teach you. Ok?"
Happy smirked and nodded as he lifted his daughter up. "You better, one of us has to be smart."
"Remember, beauty fades but brains are forever." Juice took Corinna from Happy. "I couldn't miss your first day of school."
"It's my boyfriend!" She hugged Juice's neck. "You got your hawk back!"
Juice chuckled. "I got it back just for you. You like it?"
"He's too tall to be your boyfriend! Tell her mom! Dad!" Cillian grumbled. "Hey Juice!"
"Hey big man." Juice smiled as he set Corinna to her feet. "Can I get a picture with you two?"
"I love seeing dads with their children. I'm Ms. Christian, I'm the kids' teacher." The blonde smiled. "Who do we have here?"
"Corinna and Cillian, he's not the dad, he's the excited uncle." Happy rolled his eyes. "I'm their dad and this is my wife Aries."
"Nuh uh." Corinna shook her head. "Not married yet! I wasn't a flower girl."
"She's full of sass." Aries laughed. "We like saying husband and wife since were engaged." She held up her hand. "Corinna is itching to be a flower girl for real."
"I'm Juice." Juice grinned. "Aries and Happy are my best friends. Love these two kids like they're my own. Cillian and Corinna are cool too."
Ms. Christian laughed. "You are funny. Alright, Corinna and Cillian, let's head over to the playground with your classmates. I'm sure you'll make lots of new friends. Say bye."
"Peace!" Cillian laughed. "Come on CoCo, let's go!"
"Bye daddy, mommy and boyfriend." Corinna looked at Ms. Christian. "Juice is mine."
"Yeah, time to go." Happy pulled Aries into his side. "Eyes forward, don't look back. I can't have you crying again Aries. We got shit to handle. Remember?"
"Yes!" She nodded as she buried her face in his shirt. "I'm going to be strong and I'm not going to cry. I can deal with four hours of them being away from me."
"That's my girl." He guided her to her SUV. "Are you ready for our errands?"
"Yeah." She unlocked her door and slid in. "I'll meet you at the office?"
"Yes." He nodded as he kissed her lips. "Drive safely."
"I will." Aries nodded slowly. "I will drive safely. I'm going to follow you so, I will have no choice but to drive safely. This doctor better be as good as the online reviews say she is."
"She'll be the best or we'll find another one." He smiled. "Put your seatbelt on."
"Yes, daddy." She smirked at him. "Safety first, right daddy?"
"Yeah, well if safety came first then we wouldn't be on the way to the doctor huh?" He squeezed her thighs. "I'll lead the way."

"Bitch." Aries groaned as she pushed the dog off of the bed. "Happy, I told you to keep her off the bed. She's putting her germs all over the place."
"At, leave my girl alone." Happy looked at Aries. "Grumpy ass bitch." He slapped her ass. "My girl can come lay with my on my side."
"She smells nasty, she smells like outside." She shook her head as she pulled her pillow over her head before bolting out of the bed and into the bathroom. "I hate you Happy Lowman!"
He laughed as he stood up, adjusting his boxers as he moved towards the bathroom. "Hey, you will be fine. The doctor said the nausea will pass in a few days. Relax, you're not pregnant, you decided to catch the flu."
"Your dog makes me sick." She glared at him. "And you think this is hilarious. Look at your stupid smirk. It's not funny. I wanted to be pregnant, not be sick with some type of flu that refuses to leave me the fuck alone." She flushed the toilet before moving to the sink and grabbing her toothbrush and the toothpaste. "Babe, it's not funny."
"It is funny." He shrugged as he moved to stand behind her. His large hands falling to her shapely hips. "It'll pass and you'll be fine. Then we can talk about another baby after this whole wedding thing. It's been months since I popped the question and all you women accomplished is buying a dress, picking out a cake, and all the girly shit. You don't have a venue."
She shrugged as she rinsed her mouth out. "I want it all to he perfect. I don't want to choose any venue. I want you to help me pick one babe. It's our wedding."
"I will pick out a venue." He nodded as he squeezed her hips gently. "Come on, lay back down. You need to get some rest. I can't keep doing this whole house husband shit. Man, I wanted to pop those kids for not wanting to eat what I fucking made. Asking for cereal after I just slaved over a hot stove."
She laughed as she let him lead her from the bathroom and back to the bed. "Now you know how I feel."
"I hate it." He pulled her onto the bed with him and held her closely. "Look, I'm gonna need you to hurry your tiny ass up with the wedding planning. I'm trying to go on a honeymoon. We can leave the kids with Juice or my Ma and Aunt. A week alone, just you and me."
"What I got from that is, you want a week full of sex and never leaving the room." She chuckled. "I told you, once you let them sleep with us, they would keep coming back. Now you can't even get off without them interrupting us."
"Shut up. All i hear is you saying I told you so." He grumbled against her neck. "I'd try something now but you make throw up on me, then I'd have to cancel the wedding."
She laughed and shook her head. "I love you baby. So damn much. You're too perfect."
"Mom!" Corinna busted into the room and jumped on the bed. "Hi daddy! Did you make mommy feel better?"
Happy grabbed his daughter and kissed her head. "I'm still working on it. She's feeling a bit better though. She's smiling."
The three year old giggled. "My brother is sleeping in my bed. Can I get some cuddles daddy?"
"Yes." He nodded. "Push your mama over and I'll cuddle you up."
"No, mama too." She squeezed between her parents. "Cuddles. I love you."
"Love you too CoCo." Aries kissed her daughter's head before looking at Happy. "I told you so Hap."
"Hush." He smirked at Aries. "I need all of my girls to go to sleep. Now."
SOA
"CoCo." Cillian grumbled as he climbed onto the sofa and sat with his sister. "Hi CoCo. I miss you okay?"
Corinna grabbed his hand and smiled. "Shh, our 'toons are on.
"Yeah man. Our 'toons are on." Happy smiled at his son. "Finally awake huh? You get those good cuddles from your mama?"
"Yes." He nodded eagerly. "Lots of cuddles and kisses."
The man nodded. "You want some food kid? I made us breakfast burritos. It's pretty good. CoCo helped out."
"I whispered the eggs up." She beamed. "Super fast."
"Whisked." Happy smirked. "Here, take a bite. Your sister ate all of hers up. You will love it."
Corinna watched her brother intently, a small smile on her lips as he took a bite of the burrito. "Yummy huh Cilly?"
Cillian nodded his head slowly as he took another bite. "It's good. I do like it."
"We did so damn good." Happy high fived his daughter. "Juice will be here soon. He's gonna hang out with us today. Him and his girlfriend."
"What?" The tiny brunette glared at her dad. "Juice is mine."
He shrugged. "Juice said he's bringing his girlfriend over. Says, she wants to check on your mama."
She gasped. "I don't want her here." She whimpered. "That's my Juice."
"Well, Mamas. I don't know what to tell ya." He lifted his daughter into his lap. "You don't need a boyfriend anyway. You got me."
"I got Cill too." She sighed. "Stupid Juice. Not mine."
"Babe." Aries sat down in the recliner and looked at Happy. "I'm a bit better. I feel like I can eat again."
"Take a small bite of the burrito." Happy held out his plate. "Cillian couldn't finish it but he loved it. Also, Juice and his little girlfriend are coming over."
"Her name is Erin." Aries pushed the plate away. "The smell of those eggs are making me nauseous. I think I'll make me some soup instead babe." She smiled at him. "Look at my jealous girl. She doesn't wanna share her Juice."
He rolled his eyes and shrugged. "She has me and Cill. That's all she needs as far as the male race is concerned."
"I have family hitting me up for money." She looked at him and shook her head. "It's annoying baby. I can't."
"Ignore them." He leaned over and kissed her head. "Juice said he had to talk to us about something. I wonder what he did now?"
She smirked at him. "I bet he knocked up his girlfriend. That'd be cute. He'd be a cute ass dad. Only time will tell." She nodded slowly. "Now, let's make me some soup. I'm in need of some sustenance."
"No babies!" Corinna shook her head. "I'm the baby."
"Yes you are." Aries smiled. "Come cuddle up to me. I'm sure Juice and Erin will be here any minute. We just gotta wait and see."
"My mommy." Corinna curled up to her mom and yawned. "No more babies. No babies for Juice. No Erin for Juice. Mine, mine, mine."
"Hush little girl." Happy tapped his daughter's thigh. "Go to sleep and cuddle up on your mama. I will take her and cuddle her later though. She's mine."
"Mmm." The brunette squeezed her fiance's hand. "You go to sleep to, cuddle up to us. We all fit in the recliner. Juice and Erin can let themselves in if we all fall asleep. I love you babe."
"I love you too." He nodded. "I can't wait to see what news the idiot and his girl have for us. Better not be a baby. They ain't ready for that yet. Juice is too little."
She laughed as she adjusted in the recliner. "Aw, you're concerned about your baby brother Juice. That's too cute."
"Shut up." He shook his head. "You need to sleep too. We all do. Let's hope they come with good news. Anything but a baby."
