Chapter 2 Shopping Day
"Are you ready for this man. Parenthood I mean." Tig asked as Happy sat in the waiting room for the DNA results, little bundle in his arms.
"No but I gotta do what I gotta do." He answered honestly. After Tara gave the baby her proper check up she estimated that she was two weeks premature but about a month old and suffering from malnutrition, and she did in fact have a cold.
"Well what do we have here. Ya know being a gun runner is one thing but stealing a baby is another." A voice said and Happy cursed under his breath, "Whose kid?"
"Mine." Happy growled and Agent Stahl's eyes widened, "Yours? You're kidding." She stated as she crossed her arms. Said baby let out a loud wail getting Happy's attention, when he looked down at her, "What?" He asked and her tears immediately stopped and she gurgled, the noise sounding like a laugh making him smirk. "Oh you fakin' now?" He joked and she gurgled again while waving her little hands. "Yeah you're fakin'." He smirked. "She's cute." Stahl said as she was about to poke her cheek, when the baby looked over and noticed Stahl though, the tears turned real as she screamed loudly.
Happy held her closer to his chest, "Don't touch my damn kid." He growled and Stahl back up raising her hands in surrender, "Hey you're aight kid." Happy whispered as he began to rock her and pet her head softly, her lips forming a pout as she stared at the strange woman in anger, cheeks red.
"Hey Happy did the test come back yet." Gemma asked then scowled as she noticed Agent Stahl standing there, "There a problem." Clay asked putting an arm around his wife as he grimaced at the agent before them. All the other Sons going over to Happy with smiles as they noticed the baby,
"Hey there Princess." Juice called as he poked her cheek causing her to gurgle.
"Hey guys are you all ready?" Tara called out as she ended the room with a yellow envelope in her hands, Happy's eyes looking over at the doctor.
"I thought you said she was yours." Stahl stated and Happy didn't even glance at her as Tara pulled out the paper then frowned making Happy swallow harshly. "Congratulations you're the father." She read then gave a small smile and Gemma threw her hands up as she cheered, "Ah! Isn't this great! We can keep her ugh we have to celebrate!" Gemma clapped her hands and Clay raised a brow, "Happy's kid." He corrected and she rolled her eyes, "Yeah whatever."
"So where is the baby's mom?" Stahl asks and Happy glares at her, "She didn't want the baby." Stahl raised a brow as she leaned on her hip, "Are you sure you can raise a child on your own?"
"Yeah." He answered then stood up with his daughter, "No one is gonna take my kid."
"I called SAMTAC they're rolling down here for tomorrow. Told them about the baby and they don't believe me." Clay chuckled as he closed his prepay shaking his head, his eyes cast down to look at the girl. "She's a miniature little thing ain't she." Clay smirked. "How you holdin' up brother. Was the first night you got her rough?"
"Nah once you all left she was asleep through the rest of the morning." Clay nodded his head, then turned when he heard a laugh, "Are you sure you just didn't hear her?" Juice asked then looked at the little girl.
Happy shook his head, "Nah I didn't go to sleep." He answered then looked down at his new little girl. "I gotta get her some shit." Happy stated and Gemma nodded her head, "Well I could always watch her for you." Happy trusted Gemma with almost everything...almost, but this was different this was new. "I got her. You mind if I use the truck and a car seat to get some shit?"
Gemma shook her head, "I already put Abel's old car seat in the back."
"Thanks." He nodded then stood up with his baby in hand then grabbed the bag, "You look so gay." Tig laughed when he saw Happy swing the baby bag over his shoulder, "Yeah coming from the one that's fuckin' Venus." He grunted as he walked over to the trunk when Clay tossed him the keys.
"What are you starin' at?" Happy chuckled at his baby's gurgle and raised hand, his finger going to her open hand.
"It fits him." Gemma said as everyone watched Happy begin to put his baby in the car seat then check the seat belt to make sure that she was secure.
"Yeah. You know she is gonna have a tough time growing up with him as her father though." Bobby laughed, "Aye no datin'..." Chibs commented back, "Ever."
Happy took out the carrier putting the bag over his shoulder as he walked into a high end baby shop, putting his daughter's seat on the cart. "You like pink?" Happy asked his daughter even though he knew that she wouldn't answer him, then she waved both her hands. The second he walked into the door everyone's eyes were on him, everything was all bright and cute in the store then...bam a SON walks in, he definitely looked out of place. "U-um hello sir can I help you?" A voice called to Happy in question as he put the diaper bag into the basket of the cart.
"Newborns." He stated and the man looked at him strangely then Happy looked down at his little girl, "Oh. Everything for premature to two months is over there Sir." The short male said to Happy's tall form, "Is there anything specifically that I could help you with, maybe a price point you want to stay at." He asked and Happy's jaw clenched.
"Fuck off." He growled and it seemed that his daughter agreed because she huffed out a loud grunt then pouted.
He ignored everyone as he walked, slowly pushing the cart as he looked at all the differnet things, his eyes going to a cute pink dress with blue flowers on the chest, with matching bloomers. Happy put the article in the cart. He proceeded to put clothes that he thought were cute into the cart, shirts, dresses, bloomers cause he didn't want people to see her diaper, pants and skirts, tons of bows and headbands to match.
"She is just the cutest little thing." A female worker smiled and his daughter looked at her blankly, he smirked when he noticed the similarities in their stares. "How old is she?"
"One month." He answered with his gravely voice.
The female nodded her head then looked in his cart raising a brow, "Is there anything else that I could help you with?"
"Nah." He answered then walked away from her, his jaw clenching when he heard her whisper to another person, "I highly doubt he can afford all of that, being a Son and all." He ignored them, usually he would've snapped back at them but he wasn't in the mood, he had things to do and a kid to watch.
Happy stopped in front of a crib, lifting his daughter when she started to huff and grunt, "You like it?" He asked then looked at his little girl who grunted and whined, "Yeah me neither." Happy said then continued to push the cart with his daughter in his arm, stopping to show her other cribs, all which they both didn't like.
"What about this one?" Happy said stopping in front of a white crib with a curly rail, she waved her little hands which Happy took as a good sign. Happy's eyes cast over to the female employee that was still looking intensely at him and Happy looked at her but she made no move to come near him and help. "So when I need help no one wants to fuckin' help." He growled loudly, his baby's gurgling and happy slobbering being heard as well.
The female worker straightened her pencil skirt then walked over with her head held high, a fake smile on her lips, "I'm sorry about that Sir, what can I help you with?" She asked, "I wanna buy this." Happy answered simply with a raspy voice his other hand going to his baby girl's hand, who held his tightly as she began to make quiet noises.
"Okay sir I'll go ring it up for you are you ready to check out your other things?" She asked and Happy shook his head, "Nah."
She frowned at his grammar, "Would you like us to deliver it to your house?" She asked and Happy shook his head, "No I have a truck, get someone to put it in the back when I'm done."
Happy followed the woman who went behind the counter, ringing up the crib that Happy wanted, "That would be $677.00. Would that be cash, credit or check?"
"Cash." He said then carefully put his daughter in the carrier resulting in her to frown and stare at him with a glare as she huffed. "Relax I ain't leavin' ya." He grumbled as he fished out his wallet from his pocket pulling out seven crisp hundred dollar bills, tossing them on the counter. Her shocked expression making him chuckle, the sound causing his daughter to wave her hands.
It shocked Happy that she was already so attached to him and he to her, he knew the first second that he read the note that he would kill for her. Anyone that messed with her would feel his rage as he bathes in their blood. "Alright your change is $23.00. When you're ready to leave I'll have someone bring the crib out to you." She smiled.
Happy took the rest of his money and continued to get things for his child, a bathing tub, tons of footsies and onesies, lots and lots of diapers, hooded towels and lots of hypoallergenic washcloths, baby wash, sheets, a memory foam baby mattress. Soon he needed another cart and wished that he would've taken one of his brothers, "Damn daddy needs more hands." Happy mumbled since he wasn't done with his mental list of all the shit he needed.
Another hour later he was on his way back to his house, with Tig and Juice waiting to help him unload the truck. "Gotta feed ya when we get home." Happy mumbled as he glanced in the back seat to look at his daughter. "Got you a lot of shit girl, you better grow up humble or I'll beat your ass." He chuckled when he heard her grumble.
"Holy shit Happy. Way to spoil the kid." Clay laughed when he parked the truck. "Couldn't help myself." Happy smirked as he took out his daughter holding the car seat in his hand, "I'm just gonna unload the shit. Gotta set it up later, I have to visit my mom. Should be back tomorrow morning." He told them taking the diaper bag out of the truck as well.
"Well we'll unload the shit you feed your kid, get her ready to see her new grandma." Bobby smiled and Happy nodded, "Thanks brothas."
Jax slapped him on the shoulder, "Anytime man." Happy went into the house, then to his room as he said, "Let's change ya first."
"Here hon." He heard Gemma say handing him a diaper and wipes, "Thanks." Happy left her in only her diaper since he was gonna bathe her after she ate. "Did you think of a name?"
"Not yet." He answered truthfully as he began to make a bottle while his girl lay in the center of his black sheet covered bed. "Yeah it took me a long time to think of a name before JT and I thought of just naming Jax after his father." Gemma replied, "I'll go get the things for her bath."
Happy sat against the headboard then put his baby to his chest and began to feed her her milk, "Ma is gonna freak when she meets ya. You'll probably give her a heart attack you know that." He stopped to wipe his girl's face when she let some milk drip down her chin, "I'm gonna have to hold on riding until you get a little bigger. Yup cause you're to small." He talked even though she couldn't really understand him but it was good for her development to hear her father speak to her, well that's what he heard from his mother.
"Here you go Happy. Juice bring in the clothes!" Gemma yelled as she put all the stuff for her bath on the edge of the bed, "Ya sure did get a lot of pink." Juice smiled, "If I had a girl I would do the same thing." He laughed as he set down several bags on the floor. Gemma took out a footsie pajama and cooed loudly, "Awe isn't this the cutest thing you've ever seen."
"What?" Chibs asked as he and the others poked their heads in the door, "Aye that is cute." He smiled. "I'm shocked I thought you would've picked a lot of black and grays, definitely didn't expect all this much pink and white." Clay laughed.
"Yeah what are the other SONS going to say?" Opie smirked and Happy shrugged his shoulders, as he reached over and grabbed a tiny blanket to burp his girl with. He threw the pink and white stripped blanket over his shoulder making all the guys laugh but Happy didn't care, "I don't give a fuck she's a girl and if my baby likes pink then she's gonna get pink."
He patted her back and on the first pat she let out a loud burp making Bobby laugh, "She's gonna have a tough life."
"No datin'." Happy smirked and all the guys laughed, "Hell she ain't even mine and the thought of someone flirting with her is getting me mad." Juice admitted and Happy's jaw clenched, "I'd kill someone."
"Trust us we know." Tig laughed.
Happy gave her a few more pats then decided that she was good, "I'm gonna give here a bath." He said and Gemma smiled, "Jax go get my camera in my purse." She smiled and Clay rolled his eyes.
"What if he doesn't want you to take pictures of his child?" Clay asked and Gemma glanced at Happy who put his daughter in the center of the bed so he could set everything up. "Get the camera." His words earned a laugh and a coo from the tiny girl. Chibs went over and sat on the bed poking her thigh, "We gotta get some meat on yer bones darlin'." He smiled when she kicked at his hand cooing.
Happy nodded his head, "If she's anything like me then she'll be fat as hell in about two weeks." He filled up her pink infant tub with warm water then set all her soaps and shampoos on the shelves in his shower, then went back out to get a bunny hooded towel and some wash cloths from one of the bags on the floor.
"Come on girl." Happy said as he undressed his baby tossing the onesie that she was wearing in his hamper then tossed the diaper she was wearing in the trash by his bed. He lifted her up quickly when he heard her burp, "Good thing you're getting a bath." He said then took the blanket he burped her with to wipe up the spit up, "Yup their cute till they do that." Juice laughed.
"Shut the hell up my baby's still cute." He growled as he wiped her up then cared her tiny naked form to the bathroom. "Awe look at her tush." Gemma smiled as he knelt on the hard tiled floor placing her in her pink tub inside of the tub, "Baby's First Bath!" Gemma cheered as she began recording once Happy covered her little body in bubbles, "Ain't she just the cutest little thing!" Happy took a soft wash cloth and began to clean her chest and arms, causing her to wiggle her arms making some of the guys smile, "Aye the love is a cutie." Happy nodded then carefully washed her chin and cheeks, making sure he had a dry wash cloth in case it got in her brown eyes. Happy chuckled as she turned her head making a huffing and whiny noise, "Hey don't give me that. You gotta get clean to see abuelita." Happy rubbed some shampoo on her tiny head cautious of her soft spot, "You're gonna have some nice ass hair." He mumbled.
"How when you're bald?" Jax chuckled and Happy looked at him with a scowl, "My ma has hair to her ass and I had a full head of hair a week before you met me." He stated and Tig laughed, "Ugh man I can't picture you with hair."
"She's gonna be a head turner like her daddy." Happy mumbled again and Gemma laughed, "Yeah and she'll have lots of men that are gonna be kicking serious ass for her."
"Yup." Happy answered back, he let his girl sit in the water for a bit getting use to the feeling, her little hands trying to grab the water. He caressed her cheek as he stared at her round face, "I don't remember who the fuck your mother could be but I don't give a fuck about her. I just care about you which is weird since I just got you yesterday. She ain't gonna get you though...whoever your mom is...if she tries..." Happy didn't finish what he was saying to his daughter just petted his daughter's soft clean cheek, "She can't have you." He whispered.
Said little girl made a huff and frowned making Gemma coo along with Juice and Tig, "Time to get you outta there." Happy chuckled, "Get my baby dry." He said then grabbed the hooded towel, "Can you hand her to me?" Happy asked Gemma who gave the camera to Clay.
"Hey princess." She smiled as she rolled up her sleeves then carefully lifted the baby, "I'm Mamma Gem. Look at you all clean." She smiled then handed her to Happy's awaiting arms.
"Would you look at that?" Bobby said when Gemma put the hood on her tiny head, it was a white bunny and boy was it adorable, "I've never seen that before." He chuckled as Happy closed the towel around her body rubbing her dry as he nodded.
They stepped aside as Happy went into the room then set her down so her could pick out her outfit, "You sure got some style Happy." Jax laughed when Happy set everything she was going to wear meticulously on the bed next to her, then grabbed a diaper and some baby lotion.
"I just picked out what was cute." He answered then lathered her up with lotion till she was smooth.
"Look at you." Gemma smiled along with everyone, including Happy, as they starred at the fully dressed baby.
"Ah think the lass looks beautiful brotha. Ya really did good with her." Chibs smiled as he poked her cheek. "I never thought I'd say that you made such a cute ass kid...but you did." Tig nodded his head as he crossed his arms.
"Can I just say great job on the pacifier." Jax commented, as he looked at the white boo boo with a black A and the men let out a laugh while Gemma rolled her eyes, "Well she needs to let others know not to fuck with her of course." Happy nodded his head then looked down at her, "Damn right."
Everyone made their way outside and Happy went to the truck turning around when he felt a hand on his shoulder, who belonged to Clay, "I'm proud of you son. Not a lot of men would be able to take a responsibility like this. So far you're doing good." Clay approved and Happy nodded his head. "Now you drive safe, don't want the newborn princess getting in trouble." He smiled then leaned down placing a kiss on her head before walking away.
"Well baby girl, let's ride." Happy said and she blew her tongue in response.
Yeah maybe having a kid wasn't as bad as he always thought it would be.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: So I felt like that would have probably happened if Happy were to walk into a "high end" baby shop, I hope I wasn't to over dramatic lol but I hope you all enjoy. If I don't describe like the baby's clothes that well I apoligize but I post pictures on my tumblr which is the same username.
THANK YOU ALL XD
