Camryn Lowman was quiet and calm as she laid beside her sleeping mother in the media room and slowly rubbed her protruding belly. She pressed a kiss to her mother's belly before she laid her head on Jacey's chest and wrapped her small arm around Jacey's belly. She looked up at her mother's face and smiled before she pressed a kiss to Jacey's cheek. "I love you, mommy." She whispered before laying down again completely missing her father and Kozik walking into the room and leaning against the wall behind the large U-shaped couch until she heard someone sigh and she sat up, looking at the two men. "Shush, daddy, mommy and my brother are sleeping!" She whispered, a holding her tiny finger to her lips.
"Come here, kid, let's let her rest." He held his hand out for her before he started to walk toward the couch. "Come on."
Camryn shook her head, laying back down on Jacey's ample chest. "No, no, we're bumming together!" She started running her tiny fingers through her mother's hair as her breathing slowly started to even out and she fell asleep.
"Knew that shit would happen… She won't leave Jacey to save her life." Happy mumbled, moving toward the pair of blondes asleep on the couch. "Get Camryn, I'll get Jacey." He sighed, staring down at his girlfriend and daughter. "Get her to my bed, man, just make sure that damn dog doesn't get in the bed with her." He watched Kozik pick up the two year old before moving out of the room and Happy bent down, running a hand over Jacey's protruding belly. "Wake up, Jace, come on." He watched her stir for a few minutes before she rolled to her side. "Jacey, baby, wake up." He landed a hard smack to her ass, chuckling when she jumped awake.
The glare on the blonde's face made the man laugh more as he shrugged, watching her slowly sit up and push her hair out of her face. "What? It's my ass, I can slap it if I want." He shrugged his shoulders.
"What do you want, Happy? I'm napping!" She huffed, looking up at the man. "What do you need?" She looked down at her disheveled tank top and rolled her eyes. "You're annoying… I'm not sleeping with you right now. Where's Camryn?"
He tilted toward the door and shrugged again. "Kozik took her to our room...She told us you, her, and her brother were sleeping then passed the hell out on top of your tits." He smirked, poking her breasts before he moved his hands to her belly. "I got something planned for us tonight, Jax is gonna watch Cam for us and I already asked Bri to keep an eye out for us just in case your brother fucks anything up. We'll be back in time for her to lay out her cookies for Santa and shit."
"She's been so sweet lately, I don't know what she's cooking up but I love her sweetness." She smiled briefly before nodding her head. "Yeah? What's on the agenda, Hap?"
The man shook his head. "Her stingy ass ain't taking my boy from me… He's my boy, not hers." He smirked, shrugging. "None of your business… Don't worry about it. Just know that you are on the agenda."
Later that afternoon
Happy sat in the sand, a sketchbook in his lap as he drew out the design plaguing his mind. It was a sparrow, holding onto a scroll that read Hap's last name. The sparrow was perched on a rock, that had a smiley face on it with the letters HL on it. A snake was wrapped around the rock and it had its head resting against the rock.
He wanted to give it to Jacey but now with her pissed as hell at him, he wasn't sure that was a good idea. Not with her pissed and fuming in the beach house, she'd already kicked him out of the bed and told him to play tag with cars in oncoming traffic. Hap was thinking he shouldn't even bother her for a little while.
That was until he noticed her approaching him and sitting down beside him. He smiled a little, glad she was by his side now. "Hey gorgeous. Everything ok?"
Jacey shrugged and looked at him slowly. "I hope everything will be okay after we talk about some stuff right now Hap."
"What are you talking about, Jace?" He looked at her gorgeous face, trying to gauge her emotions.
The blonde let out a heavy sigh. "I have something serious to tell you... No, before you go there in that head of yours, I didn't cheat and I'm not breaking up with you." She searched his face before glancing at the water and back to him. "I think, I think I may be pregnant... I took a test but there's a chance it could have been a bad test."
"If you're not sure then why are you even bringing this shit up?" He closed his sketchbook and set it down beside his legs.
"I want total honesty between us, I don't want you thinking I'm keeping shit from you." Jacey combed her fingers through her hair. "So, here it is. This is me laying everything out and hoping for the best."
Happy shook his head. "I don't know what to say, Jacey... I don't know what you want me to say."
"Just tell me you don't hate me." She bit the inside of her cheek to keep from crying. "Please?"
He gripped her chin, forcing her to look at him. "Why would I hate you, Jace? I couldn't do that... Ever."
"Because, you don't want a kid, I don't want a kid and yet, I may just be pregnant... I'm sorry Happy." Jacey wiped at her face.
He shrugged. "I don't want your prissy ass daughters, little girl."
"Yeah I know." She looked away, her blue eyes trained on the ocean. "So, let's find out if I am, then you can decide what you want from there."
He squeezed her thigh, smiling when he turned her head further away from him. "If you're pregnant, I'm here and we're gonna get a big house and everything. If you're not, then we can still get a big house if ya want it." He leaned over, kissing her temple. "I may not want a kid but I'm not gonna risk losing you just because I'm one of those guys that can't picture his life with any kids in it, J."
"Really?" She turned her head and smiled at her boyfriend. "I don't want to lose you either, I was so afraid to tell you this."
He nodded his head, shrugging. "What can I say? I love my woman... Can't be gettin' mad at her when it's technically my fault." He peeled his shirt off his body and balled it up, laying down in the sand and using it as a pillow. "Thought you were gonna tell me you cheated on me..."
"I love you too much to ever cheat on you at this point... I never want to lose you Happy. You mean the world to me babe." She smiled before resting her head on his chest.
The man laughed, shaking his head. "Listen to you, gettin' all soft and shit... What happened to my feisty ass Jacey?"
"I'm still feisty!" She pinched his side. "I just needed you to know how I felt."
Happy laughed, shaking his head. "Nah, I think you lost your touch, baby."
Jacey quickly straddled his legs, her hands hovering over his chest. "I'm feisty when I need to be... Don't make me give you purple nurples Hap."
"Don't make me drop your pretty ass in the ocean, J." He easily picked her up, standing with her. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and dropped it in the sand beside the sketchbook.
"You wouldn't dare." The blonde chuckled. "Just say I'm feisty and we can move away from the Pacific instead of closer..."
He laughed, shaking his head. "Oh no, mama, you threatened me first. This is only fair." He continued walked out into the ocean until he was in deep enough to toss the blonde into the ocean. "You know, you look good all wet and stuff." He laughed as he started to swim away from her.
.
.
He walked with her, hand in hand, along the same beach they were sitting on when Jacey told him she was pregnant. He remembered everything about that day, everything they said to each other and all he could do was look at the woman at his side as she laced their fingers together with her left hand while her right hand absentmindedly rubbed her belly. He smiled briefly before shaking his head, remembering the discovery of her current pregnancy. "You remember this place?"
"Yeah, I do." Jacey looked up at her boyfriend and smiled. "Like it was yesterday… Do you know how nervous I was? I freaked out so bad with Bri. She practically had to drag me to you." She laughed, rolling her eyes. "What are we doing back though? You gonna buy me that beach house?"
Hap shrugged, looking out at the water as waves crashed against the shore. "I might, if you're nice…" He stopped walking and turned to look back at the blonde briefly as he let go of her hand to pat himself down as if he was looking for something. "Shit, babe, you see this white and black box anywhere? I think it fell out of my pocket somewhere." He started to look around them in the sand, his dark eyes cutting to her briefly as he watched her do the same thing he was until Jacey stopped and pulled away from him. "You find it, babe?" Thank god!" He sighed, smirking at she turned her back on him to walk toward the white and black box he was looking for.
"I think so… What is it?" She inquired, bending down as easily as possible, to pick up the box as she kept her back on Happy.
He shrugged, his hand dipping into his left front pocket and he balled up his fist once he pulled his hand out of his pocket and started to grin at Jacey's back, watching her stand upright again. "This box that means a shit ton to me, Jace, did ya get it?" He inquired, watching as she turned around to face him, passing him the box, her eyes finally flickering up to meet his dark orbs. "Damn, baby, i'm glad I got you." He smiled at her as he took the box from her and stuffed it in his back pocket before he slowly lowered himself to one knee and held his balled up fist out to Jacey.
"What are you doing, Hap?" She laughed, grabbing his fist to try to unclench it.
He unclenched his fist, letting her catch the small object in his hand as he shrugged, staring up at her. "You wanna do me a favor?" He sighed. "Just do me this favor and I won't ask for anything else… Ok? Jace, marry me. Make me the happiest damn man and marry me." He rolled his eyes. "Ignore the pun while you're at it…" Happy smiled up at her as he watched her jaw drop and he shrugged his broad shoulders.
AN: Ok so this is extremely short, I KNOW. But hey, oh well, I wanted to cut it off before it got any further...
