Flashback

Happy looked down at Corinna, she wasn't sleeping. She was wide awake and staring up at him with just as much curiosity as he had. Eight months old and she already wanted to so everything on her terms. Awake when her brother slept and asleep when he was awake.He laughed softly as he remembered what Aries had told him. They sleep in shifts because they have to make sure the other is protected. Nah, babies weren't that smart."Look who I got." Juice walked into the room. "Wide awake, fed and changed. Aries let me swipe the fatty. I guess he wants to see his sister. Look C, it's the other C."Happy nodded before looking down at his daughter to see her drifting off to sleep. "She was right…"

Present.

"Oh, you are a fathead." Corinna squeezed Juice's hand and giggled. "What are we doin' huh?"

Juice looked down at the three year old and grinned. "We're gonna make some teddy bears. Sounds fun right? I know how much you love your stuffed bunnies."

"I do." She nodded slowly as she looked at the store in front of them. "How come my bro didn't come?"

"It's a Juice and Tiny day." He nodded. "I thought I could win ya back since you don't wanna be homies anymore."

She rolled her eyes and huffed. "We're friends. I wanted to marry you not icky Erin!"

"Yeah, well. You're too young and you'll find someone way better than me." He smiled. "Plus, Erin is cool. You like her."

"She's alright." She shrugged. "She gives me snacks."

"You're too much like your mom." He shook his head slowly. "Bunny or a dog or what?"

"A dog for C." She nodded eagerly. "He loves dogs! Oh a bunny for me."

Juice nodded as he guided her to the selection if animals. "Babe, look. All colors of dogs and bunnies. I'm gonna make a dog for me and a cat for Erin."

"Oh. My. God. Your daughter is too gorgeous. Look at all her hair." A saleswoman smiled. "What's your name? Would you like a sticker?"

"Corinna." She grinned. "Do you have bunny stickers!?"

"I do!" She nodded. "Here you go Corinna. God, she's so gorgeous."

"I know." Corinna nodded as she hugged Juice's legs. "Look daddy, I got bunny stickers!"

Juice looked down and smiled. "Thank you. This is her first time in here."

"My name is Nicole and the bunny is on the house just for her." She nodded. "Have fun Corinna and?"

"Juan." Juice shook her hand. "J for short."

"Well, Corinna and J. Let me know if I can help you at all." Nicole smiled. "Have fun guys."

"Free stuff." Corinna whispered as she took Juice's hand. "Daddy says free stuff is awesome. We go to Costco and get all the free samples!"

He laughed. "That sounds about right. Let's get these things built."

"What did ya do to my kid?" Happy took his sleeping daughter from Juice. "Knocked her tiny ass out cold huh?"

Juice laughed. "Man, we had a good day. It was fun hanging out with her. Made me think of tiny ass little Aries the entire time. We even managed to get free shit too."

"I taught her that." The man smirked proudly. "Her brother is gonna be excited to see her. He's been looking out the window every fucking five minutes for her. He was giving his mama anxiety."

"So much anxiety." Aries groaned. "I finally put him to bed so just stick her with him. They'll end up curled together and all will be well. Never letting them separate again."

Juice shrugged. "When they're teens, they're gonna be separate. She'll do college and shit and he'll wanna be like his cool ass uncle Juice!"

"He don't even like you like that." Happy walked back into the living room. "He'll do good shit. He's not falling into the club. Don't want that for him at all."

"We shall have this discussion when the time actually comes." Aries sighed. "Listen, there's food in the fridge Juan Carlos. For you and Erin. I made enchiladas and all the extras. I know I'll be hearing about this day for the next thousand years from my girl."

Juice held out a few boxes. "She wouldn't let me just get her one. She made her twin a stuffed dog, said it was his favorite. You have a mermaid and Happy has this dog on a Harley." He laughed. "Kids are expensive but she managed to smile her way into most of this stuff being free."

She laughed. "Yeah, she's her father's daughter for damn sure." She shook her head. "That's a damn shame Hap."

Happy shrugged as he pulled Aries onto his lap. "Raising her right. Get free shit. She put those dimples to use today. Just gotta make sure she doesn't turn into some damn sugar baby or hooker."

"Mama! CoCo is in my bed!" Cillian walked into the living room rubbing his eyes. "She came back to me!"

"She did?" Aries gasped. "You better go cuddle her so she can't leave ya again baby. You know she makes moves."

"I'm happy." He smiled. "My sis is back."

"Twins kill me." Aries groaned. "I can't even imagine a tighter bond than what those two share. They are each other's life."

SOA

"CoCo!" Cillian shouted as he chased after his sister. "I'm gonna get you!"

"Nope!" Corinna giggled as she glanced back. "I'm not it!"

He grunted as he caught up to her, reaching out and tagging her back, only for her to trip and slam face first into the ground. "CoCo!"

"Owie! Corinna rolled over, her hands over her face as she started to cry. "My face! My face! My face!"

"Uh oh." Cillian looked down at his sister before looking around. "Dad! Dad!"

"It hurts!" She looked at her brother. "Owie! Owie! Owie! I got an Leia!" She sniffled and rubbed at her eyes. "I want daddy!"

"Dad!" The little boy rushed into the house. "Dad! Corinna hurt her face!"

Happy bolted up from his seat and looked at his son before following him out of the house and into the backyard. "What happened kid?" He moved to his daughter, easily scooping her up and giving her a once over before grimacing. "We gotta go see a doctor. Come on."

"I hurt my face!" Corinna whined before looking back at her brother. "I want my bro."

The man slipped his daughter into her seat before helping his son. "He's right here babe. Grab his hand. We're gonna see the really nice doctor. How'd this happen?"

"I falled on my face." She grabbed her twin's hand. "We were running and I falled."

He nodded as he started the car. "I hate this damn cage. I'll call your mama when we get there. Shit, I should've grabbed the first aid kit. Fuck."

"CoCo, your teeth!" Cillian looked at his sister's mouth. "The front ones are broken!"

"Have kids they said, it's fun they said." Happy muttered under his breath. "I love you guys but I'm hurting right now. Corinna are you in pain?"

"I hurt." She nodded slowly. "My face!"

"I know." He sighed as he pulled into the hospital parking lot. "Look at me Corinna. Okay, I mean it's bad but not too bad. I don't think you'll have scars." He pulled out his phone and dialed Aries' number. "Babe, we're at St. Thomas, Corinna messed up her face. She fell on it. It's bad."

"I'll be there. I'm leaving the office right now. Keep her calm."

"I will." He ended the call. "Let's go. I don't know how you're not crying more babe." He helped the kids out of the car and picked them up before stalking into the hospital. "I need someone, my kid hurt her face."

"Oh, wow." The receptionist nodded. "Has she been here before?"

"Does it matter?" He fished out her insurance card from his wallet. "It's a goddamn emergency. She needs to be seen right now. Look at her face. This is an emergency room, right?"

"Yes." She nodded again. "Just have a seat."

Happy rolled his eyes as he looked at his daughter. "You holding in there Corinna?"

"Yeah." She sighed. "My face hurts. My teeth hurt. I don't like falling."

"I'm sorry." Cillian sniffled. "I chased her dad. We played tag."

"I'm not mad at you Cill. It was an accident, you two were having fun." He sat down and smiled at his son. "I love you kid. We'll get her all fixed up and new again."

"I falled." Corinna touched Cillian's cheek. "Battle scars bro." She smiled at him. "Love you."

Happy rolled his eyes. "A battle scar right across your face huh?" He grabbed the backpack and dug through it. "Hopefully your mom knows how to make it disappear."

"Corinna Lowman." A woman walked out. "Dad? Come on back."

"Yeah." He stood up. "She fell on her face while they were playing tag. Not the grass if you can't already tell. Just rushed her here and all that."

"I'm Mary." She smiled. "Look at you. I get grown men who fall on their faces and cry way more than you. So, tag huh?"

"Is she gonna be okay?" Cillian looked at the woman. "I'm her twin."

"She will be good as new." Mary nodded. "I'll have plastics come down and look her over. I can do my best here. I'm a doctor but I'm not plastics. Lucky enough, these are her baby teeth. We can have them removed and they'll pop back through when they're ready. I'd try to leave them in if possible. I don't want her getting a lisp."

"Just fix her. My wife is on her way. We'll decide together about the teeth thing." He sighed as he squeezed his daughter's thigh. "She's gonna fix ya right up babe. You'll be good as new with a few battle scars."

"Battle wounds." Mary spoke softly. "No scars yet."

Happy glanced at the woman. "My kid calls them battle scars. We embrace it."

"Yeah." Corinna whined. "I just need a bandaid."

"You need more than that." Mary started to clean the little girl's face up. "You're gonna need some stitches in your lip and on your cheek. You're banged up little one."

"I got here as fast as I could." Aries rushed in. "My girl. What happened?"

The three year old let out an irritated groan. "I falled on my face!"

"Let me see you." The brunette looked her daughter over. "Poor thing. Come here Cillian. I want some hugs."

"I chased her." Cillian hugged his mom tentatively. "I'm sorry."

"I'm not mad at you." She kissed his head. "Falls happen. You two used to fall all the time when learning to walk and run. You both would pop back up and just shrug it off. I'm sure Happy reacted more than Corinna did."

"Hey, she broke her teeth." Happy thumped the back of Aries' leg. "She needs stitches."

"She has a broken nose, one front tooth is broken badly and the other chipped. She needs stitches and I'd recommend a scan and plastics is going to come down to look her over."

"Jesus, where did she fall from? The roof?" Aries looked at her daughter. "You two were running on the sidewalk huh? I told you two, grass only. For this reason."

Happy shook his head slowly. "Little girl, you did a number on yourself. You must've been running super fast. You were huh?"

"Yup!" Corinna smiled proudly. "I was running super fast daddy!"

"Let's just fix her up." Aries sighed. "I want that whole cement area taken up and replaced with grass. We'll get stepping stones or whatever instead of all that goddamn cement. Look at my poor baby."

He clicked his tongue. "She's fine. That's a Lowman girl." He smiled. "That's my girl. A couple of stitches never stopped any Lowman."

"We spent six hours at the hospital. About five more hours than needed." Aries curled up on the large bed and covered her face. "Kids aren't any by any means. I was more shaken up than Corinna. She was a trooper. Cillian, bless his heart. That's our gentle giant."

Happy nodded as he dropped backwards onto the bed. His hands dropping to his towel before he secured it once again. "Yeah, he was sad that he had hurt her. I told him he didn't hurt her and that it was an accident and that accidents do happen."

"I know, he is protective of her. Just imagine in a few years." She moved towards him and rested her head on his chest. "I hope you don't have plans tomorrow because we have wedding things to get through."

He shook his head slowly. "Plans to do wedding shit with you. Erin and Juice really made ya wanna plan more huh?"

She looked at him before shrugging. "No. I like doing it at our own pace. Yeah they're in love but that was super rushed and it wasn't a family thing. I couldn't imagine not having your mom, aunt and Juice there. I'd even invite my family. It's about two families coming together as one. Plus, gifts." She laughed. "And we can have a money tree."

"Oh a money tree." He mimicked her voice. "And gifts. We need those bad baby."

"Shut up stupid." She laughed. "Babe, this isn't just for us. It's for your ma too. She is lookingforward to seeing her only child in a tux and all of it. She's told me so. I love your mom so much Hap. Your aunt too. She's a bit more skeptical though."

He squeezed her ass and nodded. "I know, I know. She asked me about it. I told her about Juice but she was more concerned about me."

She shook her head. "I told her too. She sends them luck and love. Now come on, continue to rub my booty and talk to me in that sexy ass raspy voice. Ugh. It does things to me." She laughed as he rolled them over. "Hey handsome."

"Gorgeous." He rolled her panties down her legs and sighed. "Want you."

"Take me." She kicked the panties off and sighed as she parted her legs for him. "Ignore the phone." She mumbled as she heard his burner vibrate on the nightstand. "It can wait, I can't."

He nodded, reaching down between and stroking himself a few times before guiding himself to her center and pushing in with one powerful thrust. "I missed this. Damn kids keep interrupting my damn fun." he started a slow pace, his dark eyes on her face as he felt her legs wrap loosely around his waist. "Love that?"

She nodded slowly, her body moving beneath him to no avail. "I love it baby, so much." She trailed her nails over his back, feeling his muscles move with every thrust. "Needed this so much."

Happy gripped her hips roughly, pinning her to the mattress as he continued his movements. Her moans motivating him to make her feel good, to make her vibrate beneath him as her orgasm pulsed through her. "So damn perfect baby."

The sound of sex filled the room before the sound of banging on the front door interrupted. Jerking Happy back from the brunette. "What the fuck!? Can't a motherfucker just let me get laid!? Too much to ask?"

Aries groaned watching Happy roll off of her before grabbing his sweats and pulling them up. "Can't I get laid? I'm trying to get knocked up." She pulled his shirt on and bounced off of the bed before following after him. "Don't tell me to stay behind either. I can use a gun just like you can."

Happy yanked open the front door, his gun aimed at the intruder. "What the fuck Kozik?"

"You're bleeding!" Aries shook her head. "What is wrong?"

Kozik looked at the couple. "Someone ambushed the club. Shit got out of hand. We have no clue who did it either." He walked into the house. "Patch me up yeah?"

"Yeah." He nodded slowly. "Yeah, let's go into the bathroom."

Aries sighed. "It's going to be a long ass night." She murmured as she locked the door. "I'll make some food."
