"Chibs?"

He lifted his head and turned to see Tara sitting beside him. "How is she?"

"Sleeping now. I had to give her something to make her sleep because according to her she hasn't slept more than six hours in total since she was released from the hospital and she's not eating much at all either."

"Shit...I knew it. Can I go back with her?" Chibs asked and Tara nodded.

"Just let her rest and we're pushing fluids in her too but try to convince her to eat something, okay?"

"I'll try my best."

Happy felt arms wrap around his neck from behind and he could instantly tell that it wasn't Audrey. Pulling away, he turned to see Nikki standing there with a smile on her face. "The hell do you want?"

"Aww Hap...aren't you glad to see me?" Nikki questioned, pouting a little as she walked around and sat down in his lap. "You were always glad to see me in the past."

"Bitch you never meant shit to me...you were free pussy when I wanted it."

"I seem to remember you wanting it a lot...how about we go in the back and I give you a reminder of what you're missing?" She whispered, kissing him.

Happy growled, standing up which promptly caused her to fall on the floor and she stared up at him in shock. "Get the fuck out of here."

"Happy, come on!" Nikki whined as she stood up, brushing her skirt off. "Is it because of that little whore that hangs around you? I promise she doesn't ever have to know."

He grabbed her by her hair and she screamed as he roughly pushed her away. "Don't ever mention her that way again! Get the hell out of here before I throw your sorry ass out."

{}{}{}{}{}

Chibs sat in the chair next to Athena's bed, flipping through a magazine when he heard her whimper and he lifted his head to see her slowly opening her eyes. "Hello mo leannan."

"Where..."

"You're in the hospital Athena because you passed out in your shop when I was trying to talk to you. According to what you told Tara you haven't been sleeping or eating. Is that true?"

"It doesn't matter." She mumbled, turning her head away from him and he sighed as he stood up.

"The hell it doesn't! Athena you can't keep doing this to yourself."

"Why the hell not?"

"Because we just lost our baby...I won't lose you too!" Chibs shouted, taking a deep breath to try and calm down. "Mo leannan I know you're hurting because I'm hurting too but starving yourself and running yourself ragged isn't going to help anything." He whispered, walking over and sitting down on the bed beside her. "It's killing me to see you this way...please let me help you."

"There's nothing you can do to help me Chibs...you can't bring our baby back from the dead!"

"No, I can't and you don't know how much I wish I could do that but I can be here for you and I do love you." Chibs said, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "Don't push me away Athena, please."

Audrey watched as Nikki got in her car and pulled out of the parking lot and she growled as she walked across the street and into the clubhouse. "Happy!"

"What?" Happy asked, turning away from the bar to look at her.

"What the hell was that slut doing here?"

"She wanted me to fuck her." He replied, shrugging as he picked up his beer and took a drink.

"She wanted you to...Happy what the hell?!"

"She wanted me to fuck her, I didn't...end of story."

"End of story?! I don't fucking think so! I'm gonna end up killing that little whore." Audrey hissed and he chuckled.

"Bitch you're not going to do a damn thing."

"Excuse me asshole?"

"You heard me." Happy growled, grabbing her hair and pulling her to him so he could kiss her roughly. "That whore doesn't mean shit to me...you do." He whispered and she smiled up at him.

"Doesn't mean I have to like it. Did she touch you?"

"I won't lie...yes." He felt her stiffen in his arms and he sighed. "She sat on my lap and kissed me."

"Motherfucker! What the hell did you do?"

"Watch your tone crazy girl! I stood up and dumped her ass on the floor...she called you a whore so I grabbed her by her hair and told her to get the fuck out or I'd throw her ass out."

"She called me a whore?! I'm not the one hanging around here looking to fuck whichever of you that show me the least little bit of attention!" Audrey exclaimed and he smirked.

"No, you just hang around until I give you attention and fuck you."

"That was never the plan, trust me." She grumbled and he grabbed her around the waist, pulling her to him.

"No but you just couldn't resist my natural charm." Happy said and she snorted.

"Natural charm my ass. It was those hip dents and that big dick I couldn't resist."

"Crazy girl?"

"What?" Audrey asked, looking up at him.

"You better run." He growled and she laughed before taking off out of the clubhouse with him chasing after her.

{}{}{}{}{}

Tears clouded her vision as she turned away so he wouldn't see her crying. "I don't know if I can do this anymore."

"Mo leannan look at me." Chibs whispered, waiting until she turned to look at him again. "Do you love me?"

"Of course I do...I love you with all my heart."

"Then you can do this...we can do this. I know it's going to be hard as hell for both of us, there's no getting around that. I love you though and I'm willing to stand by you and we can help each other through this. Please just give it a chance, okay?"

"You'll help me and be there for me?" Athena asked and he smiled as he leaned down to kiss her on the forehead.

"Every step of the way."

She looked at him for a minute before reaching up and grabbing the back of his head, pulling him down into a gentle kiss. "Alright, I'll try."

{}{}{}{}{}

Nikki pulled into the parking lot of the abandon building and got out of her car, walking over to where Agent Stahl was waiting for her. "I tried to get to Happy today but he wouldn't have a damn thing to do with me...he's really stuck on that stupid little bitch."

"Well then...I guess you're just going to have to try something else, aren't you? You have to make this happen."

"I don't know if I can!"

"You had better or you're going to be spending the rest of your miserable, rotten life behind bars!" Stahl growled, getting in her face. "Find some way to do it or I make the phone call."

Nikki swallowed hard and stepped back. "Fine...I'll think of something else and try again."

"That's a very wise choice. Now get going and don't contact me again unless you have some good news for me!" Stahl called out as she watched Nikki get in her car and drive away. "Stupid whore."
