Heavy In Your Arms

'I'm strong enough to stand protecting both

your heart and mine.

Who is the betrayer, who's the killer in the crowd,

the one who creeps

in corridors and doesn't make a sound

One year later

Liv ran her hands over the crisp white sun dress as she looked at her reflection for the hundredth time. She felt stupid for being so nervous, it wasn't like this was her first time.

"Shit..." She cursed as she noticed the time.

Grabbing her bag and keys to her car she headed out the door.

She arrived at her destination and climbed out of her car towards the big iron gates. She knew the route well and it didn't take her long to find it even though it was getting dark. But as she walked closer her path was littered with candles and rose petals. She couldn't stop herself from smiling as she approached the man she loved.

"Let me guess your mother."

"Who else." He rasped as he watched her walk closer. "Fuck girl..." Her smile grew.

"You like then?" She did a little twirl to show the low cut back, She heard him let out a small whistle. When she faced him again he was now standing in front of her. His hands reaching out to cup her face.

"Fuckin' love it.." He kissed her briefly before pulling back. "Come on." He took her hand in his and walked her back over the where Jimmy stood.

"Hey Jimmy."

"Liv." The man bent down and kissed her on the cheek. "Looking good as always."

"Easy Jimmy, that's my wife.." Happy teased his old friend.

"Yeah I think I remember, you know as I was the one who married you kids the first time. So you two ready?"

"Yes." Happy and Liv replied at the same time.

"Hey baby girl." Liv placed her hand on top of the gravestone. "This isn't to weird right? Doing this in a cemetery."

"You wanted just family." Happy looked down at his daughters name on the gravestone and then back at Liv. "She's our family. And who gives a fuck if it's weird. We don't do normal girl." Liv couldn't argue with that. Happy took her hand and pulled her closer to him, as he gave the nod to Jimmy.

"The most precious possession that ever comes to a man in this world is a woman's heart." Jimmy turned to Happy. "And Hap man you found a good one, she'll be there when you need her, she'll always be behind you, supporting you. And she will love you." Jimmy turned to Liv. "Happy will keep you safe, he will protect you to the death from harm. He will provide for you and he will love you."

Liv smiled up at the man she loved more than anything. A year ago when she closed that door to the clubhouse she thought that was going to be the last time she ever saw him, but to her surprise he came for her. She didn't know how he found her maybe he still thought of Tacoma as home to, however he did it, when he turned up on her doorstep she knew that everything was going to be okay, that they were going to be okay. They might have had a few kinks to sort out but they were home and they were together.

"You got the ring?" Happy nodded and pulled out a sparkling diamond from the inside of his cut.

"Hap." Liv said in awe as she stared down at the new ring. It had been 11 years since she had worn a ring, his ring, and she couldn't believe that she would be wearing one again.

"Easy girl." Happy soothed as he slid the ring onto her finger.

Liv laughed and turned to Jimmy. "Can I kiss him now."

"Go ahead kid." Jimmy smiled as he watched the couple. He remembered the first time he had married the couple they were young and so in love. Over the years he had watched them fall apart and heard stories of things that happened to the couple. They would have every right to just walk away from one another, any normal person would have but these two had never given up on another and they still seemed just as in love with one another as they were the day he married them the first time around.

He smiled at the couple before quietly stepping away and leaving the two of them alone.

"Thank you."

"What the hell you thankin' me for?"

"For being the man you are, standing by me, loving me." Happy shook his head she said some crazy shit sometimes.

"If anyone should be sayin' thankyou it ain't you girl." He kissed her, as his hand ran down the her exposed back. "We better get out of here." He took her hand and started leading her out of the cemetery.

"Where are we going?"

"Clubhouse." He felt her stop and pull at his hand.

"Hap."

"Come on they just want to celebrate." He could she it in her eyes and he knew what she was thinking. Pulling her to him he ran his fingers through her long wavy blonde hair. "It's just family. No visiting charters." He felt her ease.

He wondered if she would ever be comfortable around his Charming brothers again. He knew what happened still haunted her. The nightmares had lessened but there was still nights where she would wake him with her screaming. She wasn't like him, she didn't kill people, she was to good of a person to do it and not have it weigh heavily on her. But he just wanted her to get past it because he hated that Clay- even though he was dead and buried- still got to his girl and there was nothing he could do about it.

When he came after her he promised himself and her that he was going to make everything right between them, and just like the words Jimmy had spoken moments earlier he swore to protect her, and this time he wasn't going to let her down.

He let his other hand rest on her cheek, his thumb grazing over her soft skin.

"I love you girl."

"I love you to Hap. Always have."

I was a heavy heart to carry, my beloved was

weighed down, My arms around his neck

my fingers laced with crown. I was

a heavy heart to carry. But when

he held me in his arms my feet

never touched the ground.

Okay so that's it we're finally at the end. I just want to take this time to thank every single person who has read not just this story but the three installments and have added them to your favorites and a huge thank you to those who took the time to review my stories.

I hope you have all enjoyed the last chapter and this short little epilogue. It has been a long hard road for Happy and Liv but the love they share for another never stopped.

Although this is the last story of Happy and Liv I was thinking of maybe doing some sort of one shots, including stories from their past and maybe some from their future. Let me know what you think, if that would be something that you would be interested in reading.

Once again I want to say a big thank you to you all for supporting me with this saga. I have really appreciate it, these stories would be nothing without all you lovely readers. So thank you.
