Thank you, so much for those fabulous reviews and for all the favs and alerts that people are still adding. Awesome!

The next chapter will obviously be an epilogue not a prologue like I wrote in the beginning of chapter 13. I can't even blame translation problems, they're called the exact same thing in Swedish.


Chapter 14: Edge Of The Moon

She was 23 weeks pregnant, and about as big as some women were towards the end of the pregnancy. They were moving in to the new house. Gemma had organized everything and loads of people she hardly knew helped with the actual move.

The phone call with Mark had been civilized, he knew that the stuff was hers and didn't protest. Hap had been sitting next to her, glaring at the phone so intensely that she was afraid it was going to burst into flames. When she hung up he had kissed her and walked out. She thought it best to leave him alone for a while.

Alex came with her mom for one of the monthly visits, it was an entire van of stuff from Mark and Hap had teased her for most of it. She on the other hand was thrilled, all her movies and books. She had missed them. The stuff was currently being placed in bookshelves in the living room.

The Prospects had painted and put up new wallpapers in the house. They were now in the nursery, trying to put a together a crib. They were using an impressive amount of foul words.

"Just look at it on the bright side boys, by the second you'll know what to do." Gemma said.

"Oh, there's just one. They'll sleep in the same." Alice explained.

"Thank fucking God for that." Ratboy said. "This IKEA stuff is shit, the holes doesn't match."

"Why?" Gemma asked. "I mean, why only one?"

"Makes them calmer, they sleep better together. That's what they are used to."

"Oh, smart."

"Lots of experience with twins in the family."

She walked over to the bedroom and noticed that the new, massive, bed was up and someone, probably Gemma, had made it. The room looked really nice.

"I've unpacked your clothes. They filled about a quarter of it." Tara said as she came from the walk in closet.

"Well, it leaves a lot of room for Hap's clothes."

"That was including Hap's clothes, honey."

"Oh."

"When you've pushed out those babies and lost the baby fat, we're going shopping." Gemma said. "Cause this is just ridiculous." She had been afraid of this. She wasn't much for shopping, some of her clothes had been bought by her mom when she was in high school.

"I'm not much for shopping."

"You don't say?" Gemma was in her 'Gemma-position' hand on the hip.

"She was impossible when we lived together, when I dragged her with me she usually sat with the husbands waiting." Tara shook her head. "And she never tried anything on. Only jeans and we managed a maximum of three shops before she demanded coffee."

"I just don't like it." Alice tried to explain. "And it's not like I'll use it, I work at a garage."

Alex came in and gave her a hug. "Wow, a little more and I won't be able to put my arms around you."

"Shut up." she saw Happy walking past the door and called him in, "Hap, finally! They are mocking our wardrobe, say I have to go shopping."

He just raised his eyebrows and put his hands on her belly. "How are my boys?"

"I'm telling you Hap, that's girls." Gemma said with confidence and Tara nodded.

"Beautiful girls, you'll have teenage boys camping on you lawn, trying to get into their pants." Tara teased. "Dead sexy redheads, trained into perfection by Mia. They'll be busy flashing themselves at bridges and pulling of their panties in front of cops. You'll have a blast, Hap."

Hap's eyes got blacker than usual and he looked slightly panicked while eying Alice. Probably remembering what kind of a girl she was.

"Not sure what you two are talking about, that's one of each." Alex said. "Promise. Still one girl so you'll have to keep the gun close." He said the last part to Hap.

"I will." He still had his hands on her and smiled his most evil smile.

"You can always do what dad did, totally ruining Alice's first date." Alex laughed.

"NO! You can not do that, that was horrible." Alice still blushed when she remembered it, something Happy noticed.

"What did he do?" And he was suddenly very interested.

"Don't tell him!" Alice gave her brother the most evil eye.

"He stole a line from the movie Clueless." Tara laughed.

"What line?" Very eager. This was not good and she didn't want him to know. He would use it, no doubt.

"Everyone shut up." Alice yelled with both her hands in the air.

"I've got a 45 and a shovel, I don't think anyone's going to miss you." Alex laughed and soon they all fell in. The boy, Peter was his name, had looked at her father with and open mouth and hadn't touch her or hardly even spoken to her the entire evening. It had sucked, she was really into him.

Happy looked at Al, she looked very embarrassed, it didn't matter. He would most definitely use that on the first horny fuck that came and tried to get into his girls pants. It wasn't so much that he hoped it was boys because he wanted boys. He was just seriously worried that he would shoot the first guy that came and tried to take his daughter out on a date. He clearly remembered what he did with the girl on his first date.

"My first date. It's safe to say I didn't get my first kiss that night." She looked at him when she said it.

"Is that the picture of you in the garden with a dress, holding a shovel and a gun?" Happy laughed. He loved the picture. She was standing in a rose garden, the shovel is leaning on her shoulder and she had a foot on it. In the other hand was a gun. She looked really pissed and now he knew why.

"Yes, it was even the dress I wore."

"Can you imagine how terrifying that would be coming from Hap." Gemma said. He could, it would be awesome.

"You can't do that to our girl or girls." Al whispered to him and he just smiled.


Happy was in the shower, in his own house, which was a pretty fucked up feeling. He had never owned a house or even an apartment before.

All their stuff was there, well, mostly Alice stuff to be honest, but there was still a lot to do. He walked through the, mostly, empty closet and into the bedroom. Al was lying in bed with her eyes closed but opened them and looked at him when he came in.

He slipped in the bed behind her and pulled her closer.

"You ok, Katze?"

"Yes, my back hurts a bit, but I'm fine."

"Where?" He started rubbing her back and when he hit a spot she moaned.

"There, oh, exactly there, rub harder."

He leaned over and kissed her on her neck. "You're usually not much for talking dirty."

"Would you like me to talk dirty?" She asked and turned around.

"Nah, I'm happy with you moaning and panting."

"Then I think you should make me do that."

"Sure?" She had to be tired, she had been standing up the entire day.

"Shut up, It's bad luck if you don't have sex the first night in a new house."

"Really?"

"Really."

"I think you just made that up."

"You'll never now, Killer." When she leaned forward and caught his lips he smiled, she wasn't quite as horny as in the beginning, but she was still quite frisky. And if she offered he would never say no.


Alice was officially in love with the big bathtub in the house. Her back was killing her sometimes and it was the best relief for her. Just lying in there for a really long time and listening to music.

After filling up with new hot water several times she sighed, she had to get up. It wasn't just that she didn't want to stop bathing, it was like climbing a fucking mountain with the back and the big belly and just being... fucking fat. She was not one of those women who felt like a sacred vessel, she felt huge.

The only thing she liked was to feel them moving around, that was a nice feeling, she had kids inside of her. It was nice, but also a slightly freaky feeling. People, inside her!

She stepped out, got a towel and started to dry herself off. She leaned forward to dry her legs and when she looked down she froze. This was not true! She started for a long time and then she screamed.

"What the fuck!" She looked again. "Oh, my fucking god!"

Happy came running in. "What, what's wrong?" He halted when he saw her. "Are you crying?"

"Look." She pointed at her body. "Look at this, come here, stand behind me."

Happy had no idea what was going on, he had thought something was wrong. Which it obviously was, but not like... seriously wrong. He did as she asked, and stood behind me.

"What? What am I supposed to see?"

"Lean over my shoulder and look down my body."

He smiled, "Ok?" He looked down over her belly and when she leaned forward he leaned with her. "What am I supposed to see?"

"Can't you see it?" She sounded extremely upset and was about to cry, again.

"See what, Katze?"

"I look like a fucking kangaroo from this angle."

And then he saw it, she did. "No babe, you don't, you look beautiful." But towards the end of the sentence he couldn't help himself, he did his best to swallow his laughter but some of it slipped out. And she spun around and stared at him.

"I don't, I have a body the shape of a fucking kangaroo." She was very close to start crying again and she was pissed. "Stop laughing!" She screamed the last part and he knew it was quite possible that she was going to shoot him, but for the life of him, he couldn't stop laughing.

"I'm sorry, really! And I do think you're beautiful..." He couldn't finish the sentence.

Alice was staring at him, fucking bastard! He was laughing so hard tears were streaming down his face and she hated him. This was all his fault, he and his stupid dick and that stupid vow to break her perfectly sane 'never's'.

"You asshole!" She pushed him and the back of his knees hit the edge of the bathtub and he fell in and she walked out into the closet.

He came after just a few seconds later, soaking wet. "Hey, Katze. Come here." He caught her and and gave her a hug.

"You're dripping."

"That's not my fault." He lifted her up on the dresser and stood between her legs. "Look at me." She did as he said. "I do think you're beautiful and very sexy."

She eyed him. "Really?"

He took her hand and shoved it down his soaking wet pants. He had a hard-on and she grabbed it. When he groaned she started to stroke it. "See, I get hard just seeing you naked, that's how fucking sexy you are." He mumbled.

She jumped down from the dresser, turned around and leaned against it. He knew what she wanted and slid inside of her.

Alice pushed her ass against him, meeting his thrusts. She felt him stroking her back, from the shoulders and down to the small of her back. He held his hands there for a while, pulling her towards him. He continued down and grabbed her at her favorite place, just beneath her ass. Then he squeezed, hard and she moaned.

Happy knew that she loved that, so he squeezed again and and felt her insides starting to tighten around him. He ran her hands along her sides and up to her breasts, carefully pinching her nipples.

"Harder." She moaned and he did exactly what she wanted. A few minutes later he rammed inside her the last couple of times.

He leaned over her, holding her around her shoulders. "See, very sexy." He mumbled into her ear.

"Thank you, I really needed that." She was still panting.

"I need to take off these clothes, I'm dripping all over the floor."

He went back into the bathroom and pulled the clothes off. His mobile was dead and would most likely stay that way. Juice would have to give him a new one tomorrow.

He emptied the tub before going back to the bedroom and got into bed next to her, pulling her towards him. "I'm sorry that I laughed."

She didn't say anything and a few seconds later he felt her shaking. Great, she was crying, again. He turned her around and realized that she wasn't, she was laughing.

"What?" He asked.

"It is kind of funny. You just humped a kangaroo."

"Butt fucking crazy, as usual." He laughed and kissed her.

"Turn around, I want to lie behind you and put my leg over you, it's more comfortable."

He did and felt her belly against his back and her leg over his. "Better?"

"Yes." She mumbled and gave him a few kisses on his back. "Thank you."

"Go to sleep, Skippy." He laughed.

"Shut up!" She bit him on his back but she was at least giggling. "Be nice to me, I'm fat and depressed and it's your fault."

"For the record; I do think you're beautiful, really. And you're not fat, you're pregnant." He took her hand and pulled around him. "And that's my girl you're badmouthing, it pisses me off."

"I'll stop."

"Good, go to sleep."

She was quiet for a while and just as he was about to doze of when she squeezed him. "Hap."

"Mhmm?"

"I'm sorry that I pushed you."

"It's ok. I deserved it."

Alice pushed her face in-between his shoulder blades and inhaled his scent. A few minutes later she finally felt herself doze off.


Halloween. It was hard to imagine that it had only been one year. So much shit had happened and not even mentioning that he was having kids. They were at the clubhouse for the party and Abel was anxiously waiting for Al.

Her car came into the lot and she managed to get out of the car. He did his very best not to laugh at her, she was fucking huge. She wore a red dress with short puff arms and really huge white bloomers. She had a kids plastic bucket in her hand. He just shook his head and swallowed a laugh. He loved her but she was getting big, there was no way around that.

"Who the fuck is she supposed to be?" Kozik asked.

"Ponyo!" Abel yelled as he ran up to her.

When she came up to him, Happy gave her a kiss. "Wow!"

"Shut up!"

"I have a feeling you won't get as much candy this year as you did last year." Kozik said.

"Don't worry. I have it covered." Al smiled.

Just then another car drove up and Mia stepped out in a very short black, white and red dress.

"Oh yes, you'll be covered this year as well." Bobby laughed. "Who is she supposed to be, or is it just to look hot?"

"No, she's the Queen of Hearts from Alice in wonderland."

"So let's get this show on the road. Are all the kids here?" Mia asked. "What are you supposed to be?" She stopped and looked at Al.

"Ponyo."

"Jesus, you look like a red football."

"Shut up!" Alice hit her with her bucket. "Tell me I look nice." She said to Happy and leaned against him.

"You're fucking perfect, Skippy." He whispered to her trying to keep himself from pointing out the fact that he could hardly get his arms around her. She hit him with the bucked as well, but she was smiling.

"I'll go get the other kids." She said and took off.

Mia sat down on the bench next to him. "So, found out the last one yet?"

"No. Are you going to tell me?"

"I think you should leave that one, you wouldn't break it anyway."

"Sure about that?"

"Never stay after the first hit."

"No. I wouldn't make her break that." He would never fucking hit her. He had been close, he had to admit that, when they had their fights but he always managed to control himself. And they were getting better. They still fought and he was still furious, it was just... manageable. Maybe because he knew that it was normal for them. They fought and screamed like crazy and then they fucked.

"Smart man. I would shoot you if you did." She smiled. "Still, I'm very proud of you. You did very good and she's ridiculously happy."

"I haven't broken the other one I knew about. The not taking it up the ass."

"Really? You need to work on that."

"I will."

"How's your mom?"

"Ok, not much more thought. She stayed at our house yesterday. They watched some fucked up Zombie-movie." Mia just laughed. "How long are you staying?"

"Quite some time actually. I'll be her until after her birthday. The big 30." She smiled. "I hope you found some awesome present for her."

"Yup."

"More jewelry?"

"Yup."

"Oh my God! Are you going to ask her to marry you?" Mia said with a low voice and a huge smile in her face.

Happy was horrified. "No! Jeez why does everybody think that?"

"Cause she's shaped like a fucking football because of you. It would be the least you could do." She wasn't smiling anymore.

"She wouldn't even say yes. She doesn't want to get married again."

"Hmpf." She glared at him. "Just make sure she knows that before you give her that box."

"She knows."

"Make it really fucking clear."

"Fine."

A bunch of kids and Al came through the doors and she gave him a quick kiss before taking off. When they were gone he lit a cigarette. Everyone was nagging about it. Gemma had been all over his ass as well. It wasn't that he would mind marrying her. It was that she had been very clear on the fact that she wouldn't say yes. Especially not while she was pregnant and he didn't care either way.

The only one who wasn't nagging was Alex and as long as Alex said that she was ok with it and was honest about it, he remained calm. It was nice to have Alex to ask, it was like have the answer to a test, whenever he did answer his questions. Sometimes he told him to find out by himself.

He threw down the cigarette on the ground and stomped it.

"Hey, was Mia really here?" Tig asked him as he walked inside.

"Yeah."

"Nice." Tig smiled and pushed away the crow eater he had in his lap. "I'm getting some prime pussy tonight."

"You're getting prime pussy for weeks. She staying until after Al's birthday."

A huge smile spread in Tig's face. "Oh, I'm a lucky guy."

Happy just shook his head. He knew that people called him and Al crazy but this was just... disturbing. Tig and Mia. "Just keep it here. No fucked up shit at my house."

"Why not, you and Al live there?" Bobby gave him a beer. "Aren't you in the same zip code?"

"Not even the same city, man." Happy was horrified. What did they think about them? "Or country. Might be a different planet."


Alice tried to make herself calm down. The ambulance was there and she couldn't fucking get a hold of Happy. It was his mom, she wasn't sure what was wrong but she needed to get to the hospital. Mona was meeting her there and she needed to get to the clubhouse. It was the fucking Friday Church and they never brought their phones for that.

"We need to get to the clubhouse. You have to drive. I'm not sure I can even get behind the steering wheel."

"You're not supposed to leave the house." V-lin said. Her blood pressure was up and doctor Elizabeth was getting worried about pre-eclampsia. She was supposed to rest and Hap had asked the prospect to stay with her. He claimed it was to make sure she wasn't alone in case something happened. But it was obviously to make sure she stayed in the house as well. She should probably be pissed about that but for the moment she dreaded telling him that his mom had been rushed to the hospital. She was just pissed at V-lin for not getting how serious this was.

"I know that. But I need to get a hold of Happy and tell him that his mom is at the hospital."

"I can't let you leave the house, he told me that, you're supposed to take it easy and stay calm."

"I'm not fucking taking it easy right now, am I? And I'm not very fucking calm! And I'm inside the fucking house!" Fucking Happy and scaring the fucking prospects.

"He told me to shoot you in the leg if you tried to leave the house." V-lin said with a scared voice.

"Great! Then you better fucking shoot me and then YOU can tell him that both his mom and his very pregnant girlfriend are at the hospital. The latter because you're a fucking idiot."

"This could be considered an emergency." He said with a insecure voice.

"YOU THINK?"

"Ok, get in the car." He finally said.

They pulled up on the lot and she managed to get out of the car.

"What the fuck are you doing here? I'm going to kill you." He said the last part while pointing at V-lin.

"Did you seriously tell him to shoot me in the leg if I left the house?"

"I fucking did." He said and then looked back at V-lin. "And she's not limping, is she?"

Chibs laughed behind him. "You probably shouldn't agitate her either."

"Hap, honey, come." She wanted him more in private. But her voice and the fact that she called him 'honey' made him look at her in horror.

"What's wrong. Is it the kids?"

"No, it's your mom. They had to take her to hospital."

He didn't say anything. He just pointed at the passenger seat and got into the driving seat himself.

"What happened?" He said while they were on their way.

"I don't know. I couldn't wake her up, and then when I finally could she complained about pain. I called the hospital and they said it was best if she came in."

"Anything else?"

"No."

They got inside and finally found a doctor. His eyes said all they had to know.

"There's really not much we can do." He explained.

"How long?" Happy asked and looked at his mom through the window. She was sleeping.

"A couple of months, three or four maybe."

Alice grabbed Happy's hand and he squeezed it. He took her with him inside the room and they sat down in the chairs.

"I'm not going yet." Vivian said with a firm voice when she woke up. "I'm going to see my grandkids. You can bet on that."

Hap took her hand. "I know, mom."

"Then I'm ready. I've been waiting a long time for those. You took your time." She said with a smile.

"I'm sorry."

"Don't worry. Need to find the right girl for things like this." Happy smiled and she stroke his cheek.

Alice couldn't take it, she sobbed. "I'm sorry, it's these bloody hormones. I'm a mess."

Vivian laughed. "You sure are. It'll go back to normal, so you can throw shit on this son of a bitch." She said and pointed at Happy.

"I'll get you a TV and a DVD. We can watch movies here." Alice said, she didn't want her to be alone.

"Sounds like a plan."

"She's supposed to rest." Happy tried to protest. "The doctor said she needed to stay calm or the blood pressure could go up even more.

"Don't be silly. It's the hospital, have to be the best place for her." Vivian said, completely ignoring her son, she was the only one who could get away with that.

"Fine." Happy said and glared at his mom and at Alice.

A while later Gemma came to take Alice home and Happy was watching his mom sleep. He didn't have many regrets in his life. He had killed and tortured people and it wasn't something that made him loose sleep. But he was really fucking sorry for the shit he had put his mom through. He had been a complete ass in his teens, stealing, skipping school, the police probably knew her phone number by heart.

The day he came home with his prospect patch she cried and he screamed at her, that he for once felt like he belonged somewhere. She had never really liked the club, but she accepted it and she admitted that it had made him grow as a person. The first time he was sentenced to prison his mom was sitting behind him and cried and the last he refused to let her come to visit him while he was inside, he couldn't take the look in her eyes.

This woman, who gave birth to him and had loved him not matter what for more than forty years was dying. He couldn't believe it, she had been sick for years but he had never thought about what it meant.

"You're rambling inside you head." He looked at her mother who smiled. "I always know."

"Just thinking that I've been a lousy son."

"Sometimes. But there's been god times as well, honey. Don't dwell on it." She took his hand. "You need to do something for me."

"I'm not going to like it, am I?"

"You need to marry Al."

"She doesn't want to." He was very fed up with this.

"Not now, she huge, no woman wants to be that big and be asked. You ask her later, when she's back to her old self."

"She'll say no." Why couldn't people figure this out, she didn't want to, she regretted the first time she did it.

"Then you ask her again and you keep asking her. Promise me."

"Mom! She's been very clear."

"Are you not making this simple promise to your dying mom?"

"You are low." He laughed. "I'll ask her."

"And keep asking, until she says yes."

"Or leaves me."

"She'll never leave you son, not any more than you'd leave her."

"Go to sleep, I'll be back tomorrow." He gave her a kiss and went home.


Later at night Alice woke up as Happy got out of the bed.

"Can't sleep?" She turned around and ask.

"No, you go back to sleep."

"No, come here." He looked at her and then did as she asked. He laid down next to her and she put her arms around him the best she could. "I'm sorry."

"It's just... I wish had been an easier son. I've given her hell."

"She loves you. You know that. And you've made her happy as well. I'm guessing there's a reason for that stupid name."

He smiled a little at least. "Yes, but I was a newborn when I got it."

"Even so, she's happy now."

He stroked her belly. "They're moving."

"They always do when I'm lying still. They wake up and tap-dance on my pelvis and ribs."

He lied still for a while with his hands on her belly. "They better be better to you than I've been to my mom. I'll go crazy on them if they're not."

"They'll have you. Unlike you and your dad."

"I'm planing on sticking around."

"I know."

"Wow, they're really kicking."

"One of them has hiccups."

"Weird."

"Annoying." He gave him a kiss. "I love you."

"Good." He wrapped her hair into his hand. "I'm not sure I can sleep, I can leave you so I don't keep you up."

"I like you in bed with me." She smiled. "I can sleep tomorrow when you're at work. I want to be here for you."

"It's just... she's always been there and..."

"I know." She hugged him closer. "Just spend as much time as possible with her now. I'll be fine. I'll have Juice come over and watch movies with me and Chibs and Tara. Mia is coming as well so I'll be fine. Just be with your mom."

"Ok." He kissed her again. "Thanks."

"Like you said. You're planning on sticking around. You and I have time."

"I love you." As much as she liked to hear it, that was cheating, he had been very clear on that. They can't say it on the same day. That way was never just a response, they said it when they really meant it.

"You can't say that today. I've already said it and you have to find you own day. Those are the rules!"

"Shut up. I love you, Katze." He said with a smile and kissed her. "I'm going to say it once more before you go to sleep."

"You're cheating."

"I can balance it out and point out that I would hug you if I could but I'm not sure I can reach around you anymore."

"That's mean." But she laughed. She couldn't say that he was wrong. At the moment she was just glad that he seemed better than he was when he was about to leave the bed.


Alice was in week 34, she was still doing ok and according to the doctor she probably only had about two weeks left.

Happy came home and found her sitting in the couch indian style, her belly the size and shape of a huge beach ball, it was fucking beautiful. She was drinking from a cup and put it down on top of her belly before putting another popcorn in her mouth.

Juice was sitting next to her so they were probably watching some fucked-up movie. There was constantly people with her, he didn't want her to get bored.

"Hey, Hap." She lit up when she saw him. That smile made his heart skip a beat every time, just that she was so happy to see him. His mom had seriously forced him to buy a engagement ring but he was holding on to that. She had been very clear, no getting married. But if a stupid ring made his mom happy he'd buy one.

He picked the cup from her belly, bent down and gave her a kiss.

"Feeling ok?"

"I'm fine Hap." She rolled her eyes. "Sit down, I think you'll like this movie."

"What is it?"

"Shogun Assassin." Juice answered

Happy was just about to say he wasn't interested when the voice on the TV caught his attention. It was a child's voice.

But we were still happy, my father would come home to my mother, and when he'd see her, he'd forget about the killings.

Happy sat down next to Al.

"It't not really a movie, it's re-cut from a TV-series."

"Was it this one you were fighting about once?"

"You remember that?" Alice looked surprised. How could he forget? It was after Halloween last year, just when they'd had sex for an entire weekend. But he didn't answer.

The movie was weird, but good. Loads of violence and a guy with a kid in a stroller, just chopping people up. He liked it.

"Are you coming to the new years eve party?" Juice asked.

"My mum and dad are coming, it's time for the monthly pictures. They're planning on staying til the baby's born."

"Is Alex coming?"

"After New Years."

"Nice, was hoping to get some work from him." Juice said and then got up. "I need to get going. I'll come by tomorrow if you like, we need to compare this to Lady Snowblood."

He leaned over and gave her a kiss on her cheek.

"Bye Juice, thanks for hanging with me today, again!"

"Any time, Al. See you Hap."

"Yeah." Happy got up and followed Juice to the door. "Thanks man, for doing this. She bored to fucking death."

"It's ok, besides, she has an awesome movie-collection." Juice waved. "Take care of her."

He walked into the living room again, got on his knees in front of her and pulled up her sweater. Just holding her belly.

"Missed me today?" He asked, looking at her.

"Hmmm, maybe a little." She smiled. "Did you miss me?"

"Nah." He got up and kissed her. "Missed your lips though."

"The doctor called today, said she wanted to see me tomorrow."

"Did she say anything else?"

"Said that if my blood pressure went up or I had higher protein levels or started to feel worse they were going to take them out. She wanted to wait as long as possible but she said that even if they did it now, they'd be fine."

"Ok, you worried?" He didn't want her to worry. But in all honesty he was more worried than her. Not that he would ever admit it.

"No. No headache, swelling but it's not too bad. She said I was doing ridiculously well for a first timer and with twins."

"I know how to pick them."

Alice looked at Hap, he was sitting in front of her, rubbing her belly. She cradled his face and pulled him up for another kiss.

"We'll be fine."

"I know."


Alice was lying on the table, a green cover was between her head and the belly, Happy was sitting next to her head, she was awake, holding his hand in an iron grip.

"Here's the first one. Nurse, time?"

"13.41 and it's a..." A, what? Fucks sake woman spit it out! "...girl."

She had a girl! A Baby Girl! She looked at Hap and almost laughed at his expression. He was freaking out. She hadn't seen him do that even once since that night in the bathroom when she told him that she was pregnant.

A girl, he had a daughter, why wasn't she making any noise? Didn't they usually scream?

"A baby girl!" Al said and he looked at her, she had tears in her eyes he leaned over and kissed her and that's when he heard it, crying. His daughter was crying.

"Next one, nurse?"

"13.44 and this is a boy."

A son!

"Told ya!" He heard from Al and he leaned down and kissed her again. "I love you, Hap." Lady sure knew how to pick her moments.

A second voice, screaming, filled the room and after a while a nurse came with a wrap in her arms.

"Here's you daughter, mr Lohman." And handed it over, he could feel himself trembling, he looked down at the bundle in his arms. His daughter, she was so small! He didn't know what to do or say. He just stared at her, she was beautiful. He touch her hair, it was red. He leaned over to show Alice.

"She's got your hair color." She reached for her and he handed her over.

"Mr. Lohman?" He turned to the nurse again. "Your son." Jesus fucking christ, he had a son, and a daughter. He had two kids! He looked down at the next one, black hair, angry face, he was still screaming.

"They're beautiful." Alice said. He could only agree.

"They're fucking perfect. Just like their mother." He leaned over and kissed her again. She really was, just fucking perfect.


He was walking towards the waiting area, one kid on each arm and a nurse walking ahead of him, holding up the doors for him.

When he got out, they were all there, they alone were filling the entire room.

"Here they are, this is Agnes." He nodded to his daughter in the pink blanket, "And this is Aedan". He was in a blue blanket.

Anita came up to him and kissed him on both cheeks, crying. He handed her his daughter and then walked over to his mom and gave her the boy, kissing her. She had done it, not that he doubted, it was probably pure stubbornness but she was sitting in the couch holding her grandson. At least he had done one fucking thing right.

"They're perfect." Alan said.

"I know."

"How is she?"

"They're stitching her up, she wanted me to go out and show them to you all, said Anita would go crazy if she had to wait any longer."

"When can we see her?" As usual his focus was on his Baby Girl. He wondered if he would be like this in about thirty years. Just the thought of it made his head spin. This was unreal. He shook his head.

"They're supposed to come and get me when they rolled her into recovery. Maybe a couple of hours after that. I can give you a call."

Anita handed Agnes to Alan and then she gave Happy a big hug. "Thank you. They are absolutely wonderful." She sat down next to his mom, just looking at Aedan.

"Told you it would be one of each." Alex said with a smile. "Ready for the ink tonight?"

"Yeah."

"She'll love it."

"I know." She really would


The next day he walked into the hospital and to the room where Alice was lying, she was sleeping, and in a little plastic bed next to her bed, where the twins.

He leaned over and just... looked at them, sleeping, close to each other. Perfect. They sure were fucking perfect.

"Hey." He turned to the bed and looked at her.

"Hey, Katze. You feeling ok?"

"Ok, sore, but I'm fine. I need a kiss though."

"I can fix that." He kissed her. "Got something to show you."

"What?"

He turned around and showed her his neck. Her brother had added to his tattoo of the celtic dog, he had planned it from the beginning. In front of the dog under the paw was one and wrapped in it's tail was the other pup.

He felt her touch it and he looked up. "You like it?"

"I do, he's sneaky Alex."

Happy laughed. "Scoot over."

Alice carefully moved over, she wanted him close and sighed when he laid down next to her. "It's not as big as our bed. I miss our bed."

"You'll be home soon" He kissed her head. "Did your mom like the names?"

"Yes, she was very pleased that they both had names that begins with an A." Happy was stroking her hair and looked into her eyes. "What?"

"Nothin' just looking at you."

"You know this is going to be hell?"

"Yes."

"They'll scream and I'll be horrible and you'll hate me."

"No I won't. Not really."

"Promise that you'll stay with me."

"Not like I'll find some other redhead with killer green eyes who'd place her naked ass on a cop car."

"No, we're hard to find."

"Hey, you never did tell me what happened when you pressed your tits to a car."

She laughed but that hurt like hell. "Oh, fuck, don't make me laugh." She took a couple of breaths. "A guy had chased me and Tara and I was trying to report it to this cop and some old fart was sitting in a car, nagging about his missing dog. I got pissed at him so I asked him if he wanted to see my dog."

Happy was laughing. "Oh, I can see where this is going."

"I'm sure you can. He said yes so I pulled up my shirt and showed him."

"Crazy bitch." He kissed her. "You really are one of a kind. Crazy as fuck and absolutely amazing."
