Juice POV
"Mr. Juan Carlos Ortiz." Roosevelt spoke from across the table. "We meet yet again."
"What's this about?" I looked at him sideways. My hands crossed on my lap as he walked around.
"About a Miss Natalie Monroe." He dropped a folder in front of me and opened it slowly.
"What about her? I haven't seen her in two days. She doesn't answer her calls or texts." I frowned.
"You filed a missing persons case." He looked at me. "We found her, two days ago."
"And I'm just now hearing about it?" I stood up and looked at him. "She in jail?"
"I'm afraid not." He laid a series of glossy photos in front of me. "She was found shot to death in a Kukov safe house."
My mouth dropped open and my eyes started to burn with tears as I sat back down in the hard metal chair. "No." I looked at him, then at the pictures.
"Do you recognize this man?" He handed me another picture and I instantly recognized him being the man who watched after Natalie while Bri had held her captive.
"No." I shook my head but kept staring at the picture. "I don't know maybe, I'm trying to remember."
"Lots of Russians dying this year." He scoffed. "Was Natalie Russian?"
"No." I looked up at him and wiped my eyes on my sleeve. "She's Ukrainian."
"Same shit." He put the pictures back into the folder. "She runs with Bri and Nik right?"
"Yeah. Her and Bri are best friends." I sighed.
"You aware that Nik Hohrykova named Natalie as an accomplice to Kukov?" He slid a paper towards me and I read over the list of names. Natalie's was second on the list.
"That has to be a lie." I pushed the paper back to him. "She had a daughter. My daughter. Now my daughter doesn't have a mom."
"We're going to find who killed her. I promise you that." He said. "Just need cooperation. She have problems with anyone? Besides Bri and Nik? I already talked to the two of them. Both have alibis for the time of the murder."
"I don't know." I shook my head. "She never really talked to me about problems really. She had come home beat up, she wouldn't tell me shit about it. Said it was some old shit."
"She lived in Oakland before moving into your place in Charming?" He looked at another file.
"Yeah at an apartment." I nodded.
"Yeah, we checked there. Nothing there but shit on Kukov." He dropped a series of pictures from the second folder in front of me.
I looked them over. Bri and Nik were thorough, if this was them that had set Natalie up. "It didn't look like that the last time I was there."
"We also found weapons that were used in the murders of Viktor and Sonya Hohrykova." He tapped on the picture of knives.
"So she was what?" I pushed the pictures over towards him.
"Well we believe she was a shot caller and she put us after Bri to get the heat off of her." He blinked at me. "What I don't understand is how she got the power though. Then we did some digging into her past. She was briefly engaged to Kukov's son Brandon."
"What?" I looked at him. I had searched Natalie a dozen times and that never had come up in the searches.
"Let that simmer. If you think of anything, let us know." He said. "You can go now. I'm sorry for your loss but we will get to the bottom of this."
"Thanks." I shook his hand before leaving the room and station in complete shock.

"You killed her." I greeted Bri when she pulled open her heavy wooden front door.
She yanked me inside. "First off don't fuckin' say shit like that outside and second I didn't kill the bitch but hats off to whoever did."
"You did it." I pushed her against the door. "You took my daughter's mother away from her."
"I didn't do it." She pushed me off as Happy came into the entry way.
"Get off my lady Juice." He tugged me back by my leather.
"She killed Natalie!" I yelled. "She did it! Look at her. She's a killer just like you are!"
"I didn't do it." She grabbed the back of my neck. "I wish I did though. Would have made her beg for mercy."
"You're such a bitch." I twisted out of her grip. "What do I do with a kid?"
"Raise it." Happy said. "You love that little girl, the club will help you."
"Lo will help." She looked at me with a frown. "I'd offer my help but I don't think you'd want it."
"No." I shook my head. "You're the last person I want help from. You can't even admit you killed her."
"Would it help if I did?" She looked at me with dark grey eyes.
"Yeah, I broke your heart so now you're breaking mine Brianna." I looked at her and rubbed at my eyes.
"Alright, I killed her." She said. "I had to, she was talking to the cops about something. Nik followed her to the police station. She gave some type of written statement. I don't know to who or what about. It can't be good for any of us."
I swallowed hard and looked at Happy who started walking backwards to the sofa. "You killed her for speculation? Who killed the guy?"
"It doesn't matter. Both of them were traitorous bastards." She crossed her arms. "Natalie couldn't be trusted. Every single thing you tell that bitch and she would spill it to the police."
"Yeah." I slunk down to the floor.
"I'm sorry Juan Carlos." She sat down across from me and laced her fingers through mine. "I love you, I'll get you through this shit. I know it fuckin' hurts now. You'll be better after this."
I pulled her into a hug and cried against her shoulder knowing that soon the police would be knocking down her door to get to Happy. Because if Natalie went to the police she no doubt gave up Happy to ruin Bri. "I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry too." She whispered. "It was her or us."
SOASOASOA
Bri POV
After getting Juice into the guestroom to let him sleep away his sorrow. I sat across from Happy at the kitchen table. His face was set in stone. He knew shit and I wanted to know what it was. If I should be preparing for a new war the Sons stirred up.
"I'm ready." I whispered.
"For what?" He looked at me.
"I want to get a new tattoo." I smiled. "You'll do it for me?"
"Yeah, it's too soon though right?" He looked at me with a small smile. "You're still breastfeeding."
"It's safe." I shrugged. "I looked it up on the internet and asked my doctor."
"The doctor said what?" He was running a finger over my knuckles and smiling at me.
"That if the needles are clean there's no chance of infection." I sighed. "He said the ink stays in the skin and that it is safe."
"Let's do it." He stood up.
"Alright." I followed him out of the kitchen and we paused to check on the babies before he grabbed his equipment and walked us back into the kitchen.
"What are you doing?" Monica looked at us.
"Inking Bri." Happy rasped in her direction.
"Can I watch?" She skipped over to us.
"Sure." I smiled. "Gotta be quiet and not distract him."
"I can do that." She nodded and climbed up onto the island to watch us. "One question. What are you getting?"
"It's a surprise." He looked at her. "She'll see it when you see it."
"Give her a snake!" She smiled before clamping a hand over her mouth and giggling.
"Nah. She's too gorgeous for that." He kissed the back of my neck. "You sure about this babe?"
"Yeah. I got most the weight off so let's do it." I looked back at him.
"Where do you want it?" He rubbed my neck and lower back.
"Somewhere I can show it off all the time without you getting pissed off." I laughed. "My lower forearm." I stretched out my right arm for him.
"Don't peek." He said. "It'll be fast Bri."
"I think I can handle getting a tattoo." I smiled at him. He gave me a kick kiss before pulling on gloves and starting to set up his ink and tattoo machine.
#
"Love it." I kissed Happy. "It's perfect."
"Yeah." He kissed my neck. "You're marked now."
"I know." I kissed him again. "Next we'll get the back covered if you can do it." He turned me around and ran his hands over the tattoo.
"It can be covered." He rubbed my waist. "You good now?"
"Yeah." I smiled. "I just wish I could know what was going on with you and the club."
"It's old shit." He kissed me again. "You don't gotta worry about anything. It's handled."
"You promise?" I blinked at him.
"Yeah." He nodded. "I promise."
"Well I love the crown." I wiggled my forearm. "It's very Brianna." I ran my fingers over the letters under the crown. "Lowman."
He laughed. "Simple but to the point. You belong to me."
"I love you." I smiled.
"I love you too." He pushed me against the counter. "You're gorgeous."
"You're handsome." I smiled. "And in a really good ass mood."
"Yeah." He nodded. "I feel like I'm in a good mood."
"Suits you. I love when you smile and laugh Happy." I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"I love when you smile." He nuzzled against my neck.
"Oop, there goes our little cock blockers." I laughed. "I got dibs on Alessandria."
"No." He held me back and jogged off towards the nursery.
"Cheater!" I yelled after him. His arms were over our daughter's crib when I walked in. "It's cool, Aleric is my boy. Got mom's cries and everything."
"Let's get them fed, then I got something to feed you." He winked at me.
"Terrible." I rolled my eye. "Bottles are premade in the fridge. Warm them in the warmers."
"Hate those things." He said. "Dumbest shit."
"Juice got them." I smiled. "Best invention ever."
"Of course he got them." He walked out the room ahead of me. Our daughter whining in his arms. "Shhh baby girl, daddy has you."
I smiled at his back. I loved the way he melted when he was around the twins. "You're good with her." Rubbed his back.
"She's my girl." He stuck a bottle in the first warmer before placing the second bottle in the second warmer. "My princess."
"We're a royal family." I laughed. "This is something else."
"We're a weird family." He handed me a bottle. "You good feeding him. I can feed him too."
"I'm good." I smiled. "You don't gotta ask me that."
"Just checking in. You did off your best friend and a guy you looked at as your uncle." He blinked at me as we heard the front door open.
"Lowmans!" Kozik's voice ripped through the house. "Look at this shit. You killers feeding little babies."
"What's up H?" I looked at him. He looked drunk and frazzled.
"I accidentally got Giselle knocked up and she refuses to handle it." He slurred.
"What?" I coughed out. "She let you go in without protection?"
"Yeah, now I'm trapped." He opened the freezer and pulled out a bottle of vodka and twisted it open. "Nik never got pregnant."
"Nik is smart." I shrugged. "How's Giselle?"
"Crying." He looked at the babies. "I can't do kids Brianna Banana. I told you that."
"Yeah I know." I rolled my eyes. "You know she probably won't abort the baby. You better start preparing for it now."
"What if she keeps it and it's a girl?" He looked at Happy who was biting back a smile.
"You need a girl." Happy rasped. "They put life into better perspective than boys do."
"I don't want a boy or a girl." He tugged at his blonde hair before drinking a giant gulp of vodka.
"No." I grabbed the bottle. "This isn't a problem you can drink away. Sleep it off and talk to her when you're sober. Give me the keys to your bike."
"Bri." He protested with a whine. "Not the keys."
"You did it for me. Now I'm doing it for you." I held out my hand and he presses the keys into it. "Go to your room, I'll be there with water and aspirin when I'm finished her. Got that Herman?"
"Yes mom." He rolled his eyes and wobbled off towards the hallway.
"I can't deal with you guys wanting to drink and ride your bikes like dumbasses." I put the keys on top of the fridge and adjusted my son so I could burp him.
"It's what we do." Happy shrugged. "I'm going to put her in the swing. She's fed and burped."
"See if she needs to be changed babe." I looked at him as he looked at his little princess.
"I will change her." He said.
"Don't put her in his diapers. We're going to have too many pink diapers then he'll be in them too." I laughed.
"I like the boy ones for her." He looked at me. "Harleys and cars."
"Then well buy them for her too but until we do use the princess ones." I smiled as Aleric burped and I felt the warm liquid slide down my shirt. "He spit up on me."
"Because you were being mean to his dad." Happy laughed and handed me a paper towel.
"Thanks." I wiped myself off the beat I could. "Let's get them changed and into swings."
"Winner gets to shower first." He rasped. "Come on baby girl we gotta beat your mom's ass, daddy wants to shower."
He took off and got in the room before me and locked the door. "Hap!" I knocked. "Such a damn cheater!"
SOASOASOA
Happy POV
I was stressed out. The thought of Natalie giving up me or the club to the police ran through my mind as I showered. The thought of me getting hauled off to jail was scary. It would ruin the family I had with Bri.
"Fuck." I muttered as I picked up the be of soap I dropped on the floor of the shower.
"Babe." Bri stood in front of the shower before sliding the door open and stepping in with me. "Juice is sitting with the babies."
"Alright." I frowned at her before feeling her hands wrap around my dick. "Doctor didn't clear you."
"So." She shrugged.
"Don't want to hurt you." I tried to push her away but I didn't have any wheel power as she ran a finger in circles over the tip.
"You won't hurt me." She smiled at me.
"I don't have a condom." I pushed her back against the tiled wall.
"Don't worry." She stepped out then stepped back in quickly. A condom between her fingers. "I want you." She caught my bottom lip between her teeth and bit hard. "I need you."
"Fuck." I hissed and grabbed the condom from her. "Tell me if it starts to hurt Brianna."
"I will." She nodded and watched my roll the condom on before turning away from me and bracing herself against the wall. I caught her hips and directed my self to her entrance and thrust forward. She drew in a sharp breath then exhaled. "Fuck, I missed this."
I moved my hips back and forth. She felt the same as before. "Feels good baby." I wrapped my left hand around her neck and squeezed gently.
"Babe." She moaned and bucked back against me. I dropped my hand back to her hip and pulled her tight against me. Her head fell back and her hair brushed against me, sending a vibrating sensation through me.
I wanted to rough her up but instead I took my time with her. Drawing out her moans and mews as she started to climax, she tightened around me and she stopped wiggling. "Come for me Brianna." I bit her neck hard and she shivered in my grasp.
"God." She panted. "I needed that. Months of stress just melted away." She moved her hips against me. "Your turn baby."
I picked up the pace and she moved with me and before I knew it I was having my release. Bri's hands squeezed my wrists as she wiggled her ass against me. "Fuck."
"So good." She pulled away from me and turned to face me. "Love you."
"Love you too." I kissed her nose then stepped out of the shower and flushed the condom. "You clean up. I'm drying off and dressing."
"Alright." She smiled.

"You fucking bitch!" I yelled in the headset. "Look at this shit. Camping is for pussies."
Juice laughed in his recliner next to me. "Calm down, we got next round."
"Fuck." I ripped the headset off as I heard the doorbell. I looked at the monitor and froze. "What the fuck is half of the Oakland PD doing on my front lawn?"
"We're about to find out." Juice bolted out of his recliner and I followed suit. Heading up the stairs and towards the front door.
"This can't be good." I shook my head as Kozik appeared from his room.
"What's happening?" He looked at us.
"Police." I said as I pulled open the door.
"Mr. Lowman." Roosevelt said. "Just the man I'm looking for."
I swallowed hard and looked between him and my friends. My heart sped up and I felt my mouth go dry and my hands ball into fists at my sides.
"What's going on?" I heard Bri's voice and I tensed up. This was not going to end well for any of us. That was for sure. "Well?"
All I could do was look at her and back towards the officer and shrug.
A/N: well this is the second to last chapter and Mr. Lowman's antics have got him caught up and possibly in trouble.
Let me know what you think. (:
