Gunnar. Check. Jagger. Check. Laptop, journal, diaper bag. Check, check and check. Dasha Lowman mentally checked off everything on her list. She was ready for the day, ready to take her sons over to her publisher's office and get some much needed work done. She knew she was cutting it short with the deadline but she also knew that at the end of the day, her sons were way more important to her than finishing off her second novel. She shook her head as she pulled on her favorite pair of Nikes and listened to the baby monitor. "You two are up to no good." She smiled at the sound of the babies babbling to one another. "I know you're plotting to give me hell so just stop."

"You know me so well." Happy moved into the bedroom and wrapped his arms around his wife's waist as he buried his face in her neck. "I missed you babe."

The brunette smiled and turned around in his arms. "It's been two days but the feeling is mutual. I missed you so much." She stood on her tiptoes, wrapping her arms around his neck as she was lifted off her feet. "I do have some bad news though. I gotta head to the office and get some shit done. I've been slacking and my publisher is on my ass right now about final edits."

He nodded as he kissed her roughly. "Don't even have a few moments to spare for your husband. I just need about thirty minutes and you're free to go handle your shit."

Dasha nodded. "I got some time to spare, just for you." She kissed his lips and smiled. "I'll give you this time to handle your shit."

"Good." He nodded as he laid her on the bed, quickly tugging her shoes, leggings and panties off her body. "Because I need you bad." He grabbed her by the back of her neck and pressed another rough kiss to her lips, smirking against them as he heard a soft moan escape her lips. "You want this as much as I do…"

"I do." She nodded, her fingers running over her swollen lips. "You know I can never get enough of you Hap." She moved to the edge of the bed and dropped her hands to the waistband of his jeans and pushed them down his legs. "I need you badly." She tugged his boxers down his legs and smiled when his cock sprang free. "You're really hard babe."

"Told you I need you bad…" Happy groaned as he felt Dasha's hands wrap around his cock. "Oh, so we're doing foreplay today? Thought you were only giving me thirty minutes to handle my shit babe?"

Dasha shrugged as she ran her thumb over the swollen head of Happy's cock. "I changed my mind because I need you more than I originally thought." She smirked up at him before swirling her tongue around the tip of his cock. "I love sucking your dick, remember?"

"I remember." He nodded as he grabbed her elbows and pulled her to her feet. "I also know you love when I take you from behind." He turned her around and pushed her forward onto the bed, watching her rise up on her hands and knees. He grabbed her hips and pulled her back towards the end of the bed, pushing into her with one easy motion. "Missed you so damn much."

Dasha gripped the sheets and moved back and forth, her movements matching Happy's perfectly as their bodies came together noisily. "Fuck babe, fuck, fuck fuck…." She bit her fist as she crossed her legs at the ankle, making herself tighten up around the man's cock. "So damn good, missed you and your dick."

He nodded as he landed a firm smack to her left ass cheek before repeating the motion to the right one. "What's got you so damn wet and honry baby? I love it but damn, you missed me and my dick this much?"

She nodded as she pushed back against him, taking him deeper inside of her. "Yeah, I missed you so damn much. I've been so damn horny the last two days babe." She looked back at him and let out a soft moan. "I think I'm hitting the high point in my sex drive."

He rolled his eyes as he palmed her ass, spreading her cheeks so he could watch his dick slide in and out of her. "You're gonna soak the bed babe…" He groaned as he ran his thumb over her puckered hole, smirking to himself when she shuddered and wiggled her ass. "You liked that huh babe?"

"Yeah." She nodded slowly as she felt him push his thumb into her as his pace picked up. "Feels so fucking good…" She moaned out, burying her face in the covers. "So fucking good Happy!"

He nodded as he gripped her hips roughly and pulled her tightly against his body, keeping his pace steady as he heard Dasha's breathing become labored, letting him know she was close to her orgasm. "You gonna cum for me baby?"

"Yeah." She reached underneath her and rubbed her clit as she moved her ass against Happy. "I'm gonna cum." She moaned out loudly as she felt herself start to tense up, her body growing warm as her eyes closed involuntarily. "So, damn good. So damn good." She murmured as she felt her walls start to contract.

Happy groaned as he continued to thrust, working through his wife's orgasm as he worked himself up to release his load. "Fuck babe." He groaned as he felt his legs and balls tense up before he begin spilling his seed. "Fucking needed that…" He gave one last pump before pulling out of the brunette completely.

She nodded as she rolled onto her back and watched Happy right his boxers and jeans. "You leaving me? Can't even cuddle?"

He shook his head as crawled on the bed and sprawled across his wife. "I was under the impression that you were gonna take a piss then leave me all alone."

She laughed and shook her head as she wrapped her legs around Happy and rubbed his head. "No, no. I'm not that much of a bitch." She shrugged. "I can cuddle with you for a little bit. I'll get my work handed in by midnight tonight. It's nothing. I'm not a stranger to hard work and working late."

He nodded and rolled over, wrapping his arms around his wife. "Good because I wasn't gonna let your pretty ass leave me without napping with me first." He smirked as he pressed a kiss to her lips. "The boys talked themselves to sleep, now it's time for us to do the same."

"So simple summary of Follow Me Down?" Dasha read off the paper before looking up at Delilah and her sister Denise. "It's about three couples, each one sacrificing for the other. When one half of the couple goes down, their partner is right along with them. It's essentially about being at your partner's side through good or bad."

Delilah smiled and nodded as she watched Dasha light up when talking about her book, the plot, the characters, the inspiration she drew from everyone around her. "It's an amazing book. I had the chance to read it. I fell in love with the third couple, Emma and John."

"That couple is based off Juice and Ellie." Dasha smirked and shrugged. "The younger woman bringing her boyfriend down because of her selfishness. Causing misery for the both of them until he finds his voice."

"I think it'll hit home with a lot of people." Denise smiled at the brunette. "I'm happy that everything is completed and we can start production of this novel."

"Yay." Dasha smiled and nodded. "I'm excited for this one. It's my baby." She looked over at Jagger and Gunnar in their swings. "No offense to the two of you though. You guys are my little loves for real."

"Hap still not home yet?" Delilah looked at her step daughter before looking at her grandsons.

"He's home." She shrugged. "I wanted to bring them with me. He's tired and needed a hot shower, food and some sleep." Dasha pulled her hair back into a ponytail and yawned. "Plus, I love them, they're so handsome and they are best friends and brothers. You should have heard them earlier. They were just babbling on and on to each other until they both knocked out."

"Awww." Denise looked over at the baby boys and smiled. "Can I hold one of them?"

"Knock yourself out. Gunnar is his daddy, he's cuddly even though he sometimes will just glare at you." She smiled as she watched Denise pick up Gunnar and Delilah pick up Jagger. "They're so into all the cuddles and hugs… My little cuddlebugs."

The eldest blonde nodded as she looked down at Gunnar who was looking at her carefully. "He's so trying to figure out who I am and why I'm holding him." She chuckled as she smiled down at the baby. "You're a handsome little guy."

Dasha nodded as she stood up from her chair. "I'm gonna excuse myself and call Happy, let him know we'll be home soon. Right after his boys get some attention from their Grandma and Aunt." She smiled as she moved out of the office and into the hallway, pulling her phone from her pocket. She quickly dialed Happy's number and rested her head against the wall as she listened to it ring a few times.

"Hey babe."

"Hey Hap. I just wanted to let you know we finished up here and we'll be home after the blondes love on the boys."

"Oh, my boys are into the blondes are they?"

"Shut up… How was your sleep? Did you get enough of it?" She smiled to herself as she rolled her eyes.

"It was good, needed. I'm watching TV and sipping a beer right now."

"That's good. I could use a beer right now." She examined her nails before yawning. "If I get too sleepy, you wanna pick us up?"

"Yeah, I'm on my way now."

"I love you Hap."

"I love you too Dasha."

Happy shook his head as he watched his wife sit in the middle of their living room floor. Gunnar in front of her and Jagger on her lap as she talked and laughed with the boys. He couldn't help the smile from appearing on his face though, at the way the boys smiled back at their mother, as if they knew exactly what she was talking about. "They're so in love with their mama."

Dasha nodded as she looked towards her husband and smiled. "I'm so in love with the both of them. I wonder what they're trying to say to me. They're probably also talking shit about me to each other."

"I wouldn't put it past them." He chuckled as he moved to take a spot behind Dasha, pulling her onto his lap as he rested his chin on her shoulder, reaching out to poke at Jagger's forehead. "Look at his stupid ass grin."

She shook her head. "Leave my baby boy alone. He can't help that he has a goofy grin." She lifted Jagger onto her lap next to Gunnar. "Tell your daddy that your goofy grin is going to be what makes all the girls weak."

"Ok, remember that Jagger when your mom is freaking out about you having a girlfriend." Happy looked at his youngest son and smirked. "She's gonna be begging you not to smile as soon as a girl shows up to the doorstep asking for you."

"Shush." She rolled her eyes. "He's not getting a little girlfriend. Ever. Not until he's lived a long life, then he can find one in the retirement community he moves into with Gunnar."

"Yeah, you keep telling yourself that mama." Happy chuckled as he looked towards the door at the sound of the doorbell. "You expecting anyone?"

"Nope." She shook her head as she was slid off Happy's lap and back onto the floor. "Maybe it's my dad. You know how he loves to turn up without notice."

"Yeah, maybe." He stood up and moved towards the door and pulled it open slowly, eyeing the man on the other side carefully. "Can I help you?"

"Happy Lowman? Dasha Lowman?" The man passed Happy a manilla envelope. "You've been served." He turned and walked away.

"The fuck?" Happy looked down at the envelope before walking back to Dasha. "We just got fucking served." He passed her the envelope before taking both boys into his arms. "Open it up."

Dasha tore through the envelope, her eyes scanning over the paperwork inside quickly. "Fucking dumb ass bitches… Ellie and Opie are trying to take us to court for a custody hearing. She wants to take Jagger from us Happy. We can't let that shit happen. He's ours. We love him and he loves us too. I'm not letting him go without a fucking fight."

"I agree." Happy nodded as he pulled Dasha up to her feet and into a hug. "He's not going anywhere. We've had him for a while. He's acclimated to us. He is attached to us and we're not going to let either of them rip him from his family or his home. They better be prepared for a fucking fight."

Ellie gnawed on her fingernails as she looked up at her dad. She had done it. They had done it. They had met with a lawyer and talked about regaining custody of Jagger back. Julian. She thought to herself. His name is Julian. Not Jagger. He was more of an Ortiz than a Lowman. She shook her head as she dropped her hand from her mouth and sighed. "Dasha is going to hate me forever for this."

Opie shrugged. "You want your kid back. They have to understand that."

"I know but you know they won't." She tapped on the table and furrowed her brow. "What will we even say in court about why I signed those papers? Say they forced me? I was in a bad place and they took advantage of me and my vulnerability?"

"Yeah, whatever it takes to get him back." He nodded as he sat down across from Ellie. "When the judge, lawyers and social workers find out that Dasha isn't exactly mentally stable, they're bound to take that seriously and want him with you. His real mom."

"Yeah." The blonde smiled. "No one is going to let a crazy woman be a mother to a child when his real mom is mentally sound." She nodded and smirked. "This case may be easier now that you've mentioned that."

"We've all witnessed her break down." Opie nodded. "She did set Happy's bike on fire. Then there was the Tacoma thing, we can reach out to the women up there for some help. This is going to work. We'll get Julian back. I promise you that much baby."

Ellie nodded and smiled. Her dad was on to something. As long as they could show to the court, how dangerous and explosive Dasha's outbursts can be, the judge would be more apt to rule in her favor. "We'll get him back. I love him and I'll fight for him forever."

Malia shifted Shei on her lap before setting her down to the floor and watched her toddle off. "Shei baby, be careful." She smiled at the little girl, who stopped to pick up a stuffed mermaid from the floor. "You gotta look where you're going baby girl."

"She's clumsy." Esai chuckled as he lifted his daughter up and kissed her forehead before setting her back down to her feet. "I was wondering if we could talk about some things Malia?" He dropped onto the sofa and pulled his wife's legs onto his lap and smiled at her. "I had some breakthroughs in therapy today. I just wanted to get everything out on the table. I remember some things from that shooting a while back…"

She nodded, her brow furrowing as she tried to figure out what exactly could Esai need to tell her about the shooting that had nearly cost her father his life. "Okay, go ahead. Just let me know what's wrong baby."

"I don't even know if we'll be together after I tell you what I remember…" He looked back at her and sighed. "I love you, the kids. You know that right?"

"I know you do." She scooted closer to him and studied his face carefully. Worry coursing through her body as she waited for him to tell her what he was holding back. "You can tell me anything. I'm not going to up and leave you Esai…"

"You say that now but after what I'm about to tell you. I know I won't have the three of you around ever again." Esai shook his head as he inhaled deeply, his hazel eyes meeting his wife's deep blue eyes. "I was the one who shot your dad… I'm sorry Malia, I didn't put it together until in therapy when the therapist really pushed for me to remember everything. It was all a fucking blur, I just remember shooting and aiming towards Jax and Happy but your dad, he pushed Jax out of the way and it just fucking happened and I'm sorry…"

Malia nodded slowly as she let everything sink into her mind. Her husband was the one who had put her dad in the hospital, fighting for his life. It all made sense now though, the way he was a little tense every single time they were near her dad. "I don't hate you… I'm not going to leave you either Esai." She shook her head as she pulled him into a hug and wiped away his tears. "You did what you needed to do to come back to me and your family. I'm not leaving you for that." She kissed his lips softly and sighed. "I'm your wife, I have your back…"

Esai pulled her tightly against him and kissed her head as a wave of relief rushed over him. "I love you so much." He mumbled against her forehead as he closed his eyes, so ecstatic with the news that he wasn't going to lose his wife and kids. "I'm so blessed to have you in my life Malia."

She smiled up at him and kissed his chin. "I'm an Alvarez, a wife of a Mayan. I'm just happy that you remembered and you can now get this shit off your chest. We just need to make sure that neither my dad or Dasha find out… They'd try to have your head on a spike." She trailed her fingers through his hair and sighed. "We have to protect this secret."
