Happy POV

"Daddy!" Alessandria bounced around my feet as I tried pouring her a cup of juice. "I want apple!"

"I'm pouring you apple juice." I looked down at her. "Go sit down and I'll bring it to you. Understand?"

"Okay." She bounced towards the kitchen table and sat down. "Daddy!"

"Yeah?" I handed her the cup.

"Where's mommy and Alex at?" She looked at me and took a sip of juice.

"They're at the dentist." I sat down and rubbed my face. I had overestimated my ability to handle my daughter. She was a ball of energy. Her mind just like her bounced from thing to thing.

"Are you Moni's daddy too?" She kicked her feet and moved her head side to side.

"Yes." I nodded. "I'm her dad, your dad, your brother's dad." I smiled at her.

"Is Uncle Juicy your brother?" She slid off her chair and stood in front of me. "You and he got colors all over your arms." She poked at my tattoos on my arms.

"Yes. He's my brother, Kozik is my brother, Jax is my brother. We're all brothers." I sat her on my lap.

"But Jax is white!" She laughed. "So is Kozik!"

"Still brothers." I smiled. "Different moms though."

"Nik looks like mommy! She's fat!" She climbed up so she was standing on my legs. "You got colors on your head!"

"I know." I laughed. "Cool huh?"

"Pretty." She kissed my head. "Daddy! Can we go outside! I'll show you the fishies!"

"Let's go." I helped her down and stood up. Her little hand grabbed mine and I let her lead me outside. I had been home two days and I had yet to even step out to the backyard. "Holy shit." I looked around the backyard. It was big and seemed to stretch for miles.

"The fishies are over there!" She tugged me towards the pond. "It's fun!"

"Are you always this excited?" I looked down at her. Her curly hair was bouncing as we made our way to the pond.

"Yes! Mommy calls it my spaz mode!" She stopped at the edge of a gorgeous Japanese inspired pond. It looked like the drawing I had given Bri when we first started dating. "Fish!"

I looked into the water and spotted the koi swimming around. "Beautiful." I sat down on the bench on the bridge and watched my princess skip around. Her smile never fading.

"Daddy!" She jumped and giggled. "I love the fishies!"

"They're cool." I smiled at her. "Do you go to school?"

"I go to school." She sat down next to me. "Alex is in the other part." She yawned and I knew it was only a matter of time until she was sleeping. Bri had told me her schedule but neglected to tell me how much energy I would be spending to tame her.

"Oh yeah?" I rubbed her hair. "You learn stuff?"

"I learned my alphabets." She yawned again. "I want a nap."

"Let's get a nap then." I stood and picked her up. "You and I can nap."

"Really?" She placed a hand on both my cheeks. "You like naps too?"

"I love naps. Especially with a boss like you." I gave her a quick kiss. "You want to nap in the big bed?"

"Yes." She smiled as we entered the house. "Mommy lets me sleep in her bed sometimes."

"That's where we're going." I walked up the stairs and entered my bedroom. I pulled back the blankets and helped her take her shoes off and climb in. "Nap time baby girl."

I kicked off my shoes and laid down next to her and she curled into my side. "See you when I wake up dad." She yawned and closed her eyes and I did the same. It wasn't even two yet and I was down for the count.

"Babe." I felt kisses all over my neck. "Wake up weirdo." I opened one eye and saw Bri hovering over me.

"I didn't lose her." I sat up and looked over and Alessandria was still sleeping next to me.

"I know," Bri smirked. "How was it though? She gives you hell?"

"So much fuckin' energy." I frowned. "I thought I was going to have to duct tape her to a chair."

"You should see her hopped up on the birthday cake." She laughed and laid down next to me. "Moni is at her friend's for the weekend and Aleric is napping."

"She was telling me about school. How she and Aleric are in different classes." I played lazily with the bangles on Bri's wrist.

"Yeah, different classes. We want to promote individuality. Plus Aleric is in the advanced preschool class. He's smart and always looks bored." She laughed. "Ale is smart but is always running. Your ma wants to say it's ADHD and I'm like Nah, she's a three-year-old. She's going to be hyper, if it gets worse then we'll get a doctor involved."

"What's up with you and my Ma not getting along?" I looked at her. "Don't try to bullshit me either Brianna."

"Your Ma doesn't fuckin' trust me. The first year when you were locked up she wanted to get on my ass about being friends with Esai. Like she was dead ass set that I was going to leave you and take the kids." She rolled her eyes. "I don't like being called on shit I wouldn't do. Like if I was going to leave you, you really think I'm running to Esai?"

"Nah." I looked at her. "If anything you'd leave me for Kozik."

"Ew." She squealed. "Nah, the only way I'm leaving you is if I go out in a body bag."

"Same here." I kissed her. "Fix the shit between you and Ma."

"I have been trying to." She smacked my chest. "You really think I like being at odds with your ma?"

"No." I rubbed a hand over her ass. "You wanna get it in real quick?"

"Sure." She grabbed my hand. "Let's get it done babe." She led me downstairs and into her office.

I closed the door and locked it behind us. "Fuck, did you wear that out the house Bri?" I tugged on the white shorts she had on and she nodded yes slowly.

"Slutty?" She frowned as she pushed my sweats and boxers down. "Fuck me." She tugged her own shorts down and turned around.

"When did you get this demanding?" I stepped forward and turned her back around forcing her to step out of her shorts and panties altogether.

"I just really fucking want you." She sat on the edge of the desk and propped one of her legs up. Giving me the perfect view of her pussy. "Fuck me please?"

"Anything for my queen." I stepped forward and she laid back as I entered her slowly.

"Ugh." She looked at me. "You're really going to torture me like this?"

"Yeah," I smirked. I picked up my pace and she propped herself up on her elbows and looked at me. Her teeth raking over her bottom lip. "You are in trouble."

"Why?" She asked through soft moans as she moved her hips to match my rhythm. "Are we really talking while we should just be making sex noises babe?"

"You let another man ink you." I traced the locket on her right hip before gripping it so hard she whimpered. "I don't like that shit, Brianna." I slammed hard into her and felt myself bottom out inside her. "I fuckin' know it's not a piece that stakes claim. I just wanna be the only fuckin' man that tattoos you, understand that?"

She nodded slightly as my hand traveled up her body and found her neck. I squeezed tightly enough that she was on the edge of passing out as I slammed into her repeatedly. The sound of skin coming together filled the room as her hands wrapped around my wrist in the attempt to loosen my grip on her neck.

"Relax." I loosened the grip. "Come for me, Brianna." She tightened around me almost painfully as she came. Her hands tangled in her own hair as her mouth fell open and her eyes clamped shut. Seeing her come made me find my release and I felt my balls tighten and my cock twitch as I started filling her.

When I finished I slowly pulled out and removed my hand from her neck causing her to gasp for air and rubbed her neck. "You killed my throat." She glared at me with a satisfied smirk.

"I love you." I kissed her roughly. "I'm serious."

"I know." She wrapped her arms around my waist. "I love you too. Which brings me to this topic. I don't want a wedding Happy. I just want us and our circle in Vegas getting married."

"Whatever you want." I kissed her again. "Your call my Queen." I pulled her against me tighter and ran my fingers through her hair. "I forgot to ask, you're on birth control right Brianna?"

"Yup." She said against my neck. "Got the IUD a month before you got released. Had to make sure we wouldn't have anymore oopsies."

"Good." I sighed. "You leave my son with my next time. Your daughter is just too much energy."

"Wait until she gets into question mode babe." She pulled her panties and shorts. "Wait until you have every single little person in our circle bugging your ass at once."

"Can't wait." I rolled my eyes.

SOASOASOA

Kozik POV

I ducked out of the way as Giselle threw another glass at me. Fourth one in the last five minutes. All because I was being honest about what Bri had told me a few days prior.

"She's had a dream about you and you laugh like it's nothing serious," Giselle yelled at me. "What the fuck is wrong with you Herman?"

"Calm the fuck down." I crossed my arms. "It's nothing serious. You should be starting shit with her not me. All I did was tell you because I thought you would laugh the shit off."

"Nah." She looked at me. "I know you're jerkin it to the fact she dreamed about you. You don't think I know that you're into her."

"Shits in the past. I'm about you." I looked at her. "You know that shit. So calm the fuck down. Clean this fucking mess up. I gotta get to church. Club business. You want to stay mad then stay fuckin' mad Giselle. Just clean this shit up. Take the shit up with Brianna."

"Oh, I fucking plan to take it up with her ass. How dare she dream about fucking you." She tossed another glass for good measure. "I'm taking our daughter to see Lo and Luna."

"Alright." I hugged her. "I love you."

"I love you too." She kissed me. "I'll get it cleaned up."

"You and that anger. Gotta get that shit in check." I walked out of the kitchen. "Don't forget to lock this door."

I hopped on my bike and rode the short distance to the clubhouse. Giselle had talked me into buying a house in Charming so she could be close to Lo and Luna. I had been against it, wanting to be in Oakland but I didn't say anything to Giselle.

We had spent most of our time apart while she was pregnant. She always ran to her family when she was mad and hardly ever involved me in anything until I had fucked a few of Nik and Bri's friends from the strip club. Now I was all about Giselle but in the back of my mind I couldn't help but play what if.

"Koz." Happy nodded at me. "Good to be back at it." He looked around.

"You sure you wanna get into this so soon after getting out," I asked as we walked into the clubhouse.

"Yeah." He nodded. "I'm free and clear. No more parole no more bullshit at all Koz."

"Oh shit. Bri hooked you up." I laughed as we sat down in the chapel.

"Yeah." He rubbed his head. "She really did. She's changed so much, I feel like I'm freshly dating her."

"She grew the fuck up." I laughed. "She's not that little chola wannabe anymore. She grew up for you."

"I know." He smiled. "She's matured but I'm used to her riding in the car turning the music on when I don't."

"She still raps." I laughed. "She just keeps it in the gym and away from the twins. Even though she rattles off curse words left and right around them."

"I hung out one on one with Ale." He looked at me. "I needed a nap after four hours of watching her run rampant. Why the fuck did you let her get that night ass house?"

"That was all Esai." I shrugged. "That was the project that Ma flipped her lid over. Bri, tell you that story?"

"Nah." He frowned. "Tell me it when we get out." He nodded at Jax as he walked in looking all pressed and creased.

"Nik turned him into more of a white boy cholo." I laughed. "You lookin' out of place Jax."

He chuckled. "I know, I let my old lady dress me this morning. Came here from her doctor's appointment. I'm getting another daughter. Lucky me."

"Girls are taking over. We have done so much shit we're being plagued with daughters." Happy rasped. "Bri said I'm in for shit when I hang out with all of the daughters."

"You ain't gonna survive that shit." I clapped him on the shoulder. "Luna, Kayla, Ale, the occasion where Jax's daughter Grace blesses us with her presence then of course Monica."

"The old ladies are the problem," Jax said. "Not the little girls. You know how many fights we pulled Bri out of?"

"How many?" He leaned forward and smirked.

"Too many," Jax smirked. "One time she pulled out a gun. We got it away from her and your Old Lady managed to get my knife off my hip and charged the dude. It wasn't even a lady she was trying to kill."

"That's my Queen." Happy smiled proudly. "Let's get the church started though. I gotta get home soon. Promised my daughter I play with her."

"She got you wrapped around her finger already." Jax laughed. "Tea party?"

"Nah, she doesn't do tea parties. She's having a meeting to see if we can take over some dollhouse." He frowned as the rest of our brothers filed in and sat down.

Jax banged the gavel. "First, welcome back Hap. Good to have you sitting with is again. We missed you, killer."

A round of applause went around and Happy nodded and smiled.

"We got no real problems," Jax said. "Only new information is that the Aztecs have set up a charter in Bernardino County."

"Aztecs a problem now?" Happy asked and looked at Jax.

"Not really. We had a charter approach them in a not so friendly way. Some words and bullets were exchanged." Jax cracked his knuckles. "We're working it all out though."

"That's good." He said. "Anything else I need to know about?"

"Not much, we got the bike shop back, the porn business is booming. We're out of illegal shit now. So it's safer and all that for us and our families." Bobby smiled. "It's all good with Redwood."

"Then why are we sitting here?" Happy looked around. "Last time I checked we called church when shit was going bad not good."

"We need your help." Jax looked at him. "You got one-half of the solution, I have the other half."

"If you want Bri, ask her to help." He rolled his eyes.

"It's not bad. We want to expand at the rate the Aztecs are and we want her expertise. I have Nik and her connections but she knows nothing about building a syndicate. Bri's been doing it for a while now." Jax stared at Happy. "Sleep on it."

"I will." He replied. "I don't think you needed to call the church for that question though."

"Need your help with a problem." Tig finally said. "Only your expertise will do Hap."

"How fuckin' hard was it to say that shit to begin with?" Happy smirked. "When and where?"

"Tonight." Tig nodded. "Bring your bag of tricks."

"I'm down." Happy smiled bigger. "Let's make it clean this time. Last time I got bloody I ended up with a murder charge."

"How'd you shake that shit anyways?" Rat asked.

"Bri." He shrugged. "Both witnesses were found shot together. Esai and Bri had executed both. Bri bought the judge and I made a lot of friends in lock up because of her."

"Russians?" I looked at him.

"Brown. Practically half of the guards are on her payroll. She's made a good network of good people." Happy shrugged. "We good here?"

"Yeah." Jax nodded. "Be back here at eleven and we'll get to the mark."

"Sounds good Prez." Happy stood as Jax banged the gavel. "I'll see you guys later."

#

I cringed as I watched Happy take the guys fingernails off one by one, slowly and painfully. The guy would pass out from the pain and Happy wouldn't pull off another nail until the guy was awake and could feel the pain.

"You going to tell me what I need to fucking know now?" Tig looked at the guy and the guy nodded yes rapidly. "Spit it out then fucker."

"I got the drugs from some guy wearing an Aztec's patch." He spits out before Happy yanked the last nail off and the guy passed out.

"Aztecs are moving too close to Charming," Jax said through gritted teeth. "Chibs set up a sit down with the president. We gotta stop this shit before it gets messy. I don't want drugs in this city."

"You're his friend. Just call his ass." I tapped Jax on the shoulder.

"This is club business so we handle it president to president not friend to friend." He looked at me. "End this guy, we don't need him anymore."

"You got is Prez." Happy smiled as he made a few quick motions and blood splattered all over the front of his shirt and to the floor.

"Could have kept it clean." I frowned at the sight. "New patches can clean this shit up."

"Felt good." Happy smiled. "I needed that release."

"Pent up aggression?" I turned to him as we walked out of the house.

"Yeah." He replied gruffly. "I keep finding myself getting too rough with Brianna. So much anger and shit."

"Don't need you killing her during sex." I shook my head. "You good? I gotta get home to G."

"Yeah. I'm going to rinse off and head home to my Queen. Work out some more aggression." He turned on the water hose as I rode off.

The Killer was out and he fell right into old habits without missing a beat. It made me proud but it scared me to think he had three years worth of bottles up frustration to work out. I just hoped Bri wouldn't do anything for him to unleash it all on her.
