As the group walked through the doors, the room erupted in screaming and cheers of "surprise". Looking to Happy, Lexi could see he was in on it. The looks from Bec and Kozik said they also were involved to some degree. Lexi was quickly greeted by her parents.
"Congratulations baby!" Gemma gushed pulling her daughter from Happy's reluctant grip and into a big hug before passing her to her father.
"Twins huh?" Her father said kissing her head. "Must run on killer's side."
"Uhh yeah I guess. And thanks ma," she said to them backing back into Happy's waiting arms. Looking up to him she whispered, "What is all this? Did you know?"
Happy pulled her into a corner to continue their conversation more privately, "Some of it I did. I stopped at the club house to get a change of clothes and we all talked. I told them about the twins, how I'd do everything in my power to keep the three of you safe, and how I'd never let us be separated. They just said okay they were coming up to see for their own eyes. Needed to know you were taken care of or some shit."
"I should have fucking figured. Club duty and all."
"Don't be like that Lex. It wasn't about the club this time. I did it for us. So they'd stop pushing."
"Oh I'm sure," She told him with an eye roll walking. "I'm going to find a drink."
"There's prospects for that," He told her trying to pull her back to him.
"I'm not broken," she replied not even turning around.
Walking across the crowded room she started to take in the decorations. There was baby shower stuff everywhere she looked. It had Gemma written all over it. After thanking everyone along the way she was really needing a drink to distract herself by the time she made it to the bar. Sadly she'd be going with non alcoholic though. Luckily she saw Jessie sitting there and hoped the older woman could serve as a distraction.
"Hey sweetie! You like?"
"It's different," She told the older woman with a chuckle. "Definitely not what I was expecting when we got here."
"I get that. Your mother just wanted to ensure you guys had a proper shower. She seems like she's pretty accepting of you and Happy's relationship."
"Yeah for now. Thank you. I'm sure you had a part in putting this together and I know my mother isn't the easiest co-host."
"I didn't do much. Gemma packs a punch and I just supplied the army," Jessie told her. Glancing across the room she continued, "Don't be too rough on Hap? He's just trying to make sure you three have the best life he can provide while keeping your parents at bay."
"I know. It's just hard knowing he kept talking to my parents a secret from me. I know it's not a huge deal for most, but it is with us."
"Give him time. He will get there. This relationship thing is new to him. Lee was saying you're the only one he's known Happy to be with since clear back to his hang around days. That's got to mean something."
"Yeah, you're right," Lexi replied.
Looking across the room she could see Happy being congratulated by his brothers but still sneaking glances at her. Lexi sent him a nod on one of his glances to let him know he was good to approach her. He must have caught the drift because he then made his way straight to her and Jessie at the bar.
"You good?" He asked her. He didn't want to push things knowing she was in a mood but he needed to know she wasn't pissed at him.
"Yeah. Jessie talked me off the cliff."
"Good to know. Prospect, get me a beer," He said stepping forward and placing an arm on each side of her. Leaning down he whispered into her ear, "I'm just playing nice to get them off our backs. I'll make it up to you."
"Promise?" She questioned. "It won't be an easy one."
"It never is but I'm sure I can handle it," He told her kissing her forehead.
Lexi stepped forward to close the already small gap between them and wrapped her arms around him. She needed things to calm down soon but for now she would follow the waves of crazy if that's what it took. There was no way she would fully trust her parents but if Happy thought things were safe for now, she would follow his lead for the time being.
"Lexi! Let's open the gifts!" She heard her mother yell.
Lexi peeked her head out just far enough to see the crowd part and Gemma standing across the room next to a giant pile of gifts tapping her foot.
"Let's go baby daddy," she said grabbing Happy's hand to drag him with her.
"Nope. This is all you," He told her pulling his hand back and pushing her towards her mother.
"Asshole."
"Usually, but I'm your asshole."
Lexi rolled her eyes proceeding to smile at the crowd as she made her way to her mother. She was attempting to look as happy as she could but the crowd was getting to her. Approaching her mother she was even more shocked at the stack of gifts.
"Jesus Ma. How'd you come up with all this in less than 24 hours?"
"Well SAMTAC members pitched in with Jessie's help for shopping advice and I've got very good credit cards with plenty of good malls along the way on our trip," Gemma told her daughter pushing her into a chair and starting to pass her gifts.
Lexi opened gift after gift for what seemed like hours before she finally reached the end. The twins were definitely stocked up now. She could tell there must have been some snooping around her and Happy's home because there was only a single addition of anything they had already bought. Looking at the pile next to her, Lexi had no idea where she was going to put everything. Especially the diapers. There was probably over 100 packs in all different sizes. Noticing she had finished opening gifts, Happy made his way towards her.
"Well, think we're covered?" He asked her.
"I think we'll be covered for the next five kids with all of this," she told him shaking her head.
"Five more huh? I think we could swing it," he said bending down to kiss along her neck. After a few delicately placed pecks, she felt his lips graze her cheek so he could whisper in her ear, "Wanna practice making more?"
"Ha Ha very funny. This place is packed. Not to mention, this is going to take multiple trips to get home in my car."
"Nope got that covered." He let out a sharp whistle before addressing a prospect who was walking by. "Get the van and get all of this loaded into it. If one thing has so much as a scratch or wrinkle when it gets unloaded at my house, you'll have hell to pay prospect. Not to mention, all hopes of becoming a patch will be out the window. Got it?"
"Ye..yes sir, Happy sir," the prospect stuttered before running to get the van loaded.
"Jesus and I thought our prospects got scared of you," Jax laughed clapping Happy on the shoulder before hugging his sister. "Hey sis."
"Hey J. You're a dick by the way," Lexi told him hugging him back.
"What did I do?"
"You told me Gem was still pissed. I've been panicking since our call."
"Oh she is. Don't let the little games fool you. She's just putting on a show. You know how she gets in front of other charters," Jax told her looking over to where their mother was arranging food with Jessie. "Don't let your guard down just yet."
"We aren't," Happy told him grabbing them two beers from a sweet butt walking past. "How long you think she'll milk staying here?"
"Don't really know. I guess Chibs overheard her telling Clay she wasn't leaving without Lex."
"Not happening," Lexi told them tightening her grip on Happy's waist and resting her head on his chest for emphasis. Happy kissed the top of her head in an attempt to soothe her.
"You aren't going back to Charming," Jax told her. "If it comes to a vote, we've got enough SAMCRO votes to team with SAMTAC that you'll stay. She can be pissy about it, but Clay won't start a war between charters."
"Of course not. The precious club must come first," Lexi mumbled.
"Stop," Happy told her. He knew how she felt about the club. It was one of the reasons why they had kept their relationship secret for so long. But he needed her to show the club loyalty and respect right now.
"Hap's right Lex. I know you hate the club and it's rules, but the more you show Happy has changed your way of thinking and you actually accept the club life, the easier it will be to get ma off your back," Jax told her.
"I get it," she grumbled. "Doesn't mean I'm going to like it though."
"We would expect nothing less," Happy told her.
"On a more serious note, I do believe I need to start coming to visit more," Jax said scanning the room. "You have a much better selection of women up here."
"Seriously Jax," Lexi said smacking her brother in his chest. "You can't reign in your man whore ways for one night? This is supposed to be a baby shower!"
"Don't judge me. I mean shit Lex, look at em!"
"They might look worth it but they aren't. Bunch of fucking clingers," Happy told him.
"Oh really?" Lexi questioned raising a brow.
"Yup. Why do you think I was so attracted to you always pushing me away?" he answered her chuckling.
"Good save," She said stretching up to kiss him.
"I'm still going for it," Jax said leaving the couple walking towards a redhead at the bar.
"Use protection!" Lexi yelled after him getting.
"Cause it worked so well for you two right?" He shot back only to get the bird in return.
Next thing Lexi knew she was pulled away by her mother again this time for games. She lost track of how many they played but did get a kick out of the few Gemma and Jessie convinced the men to get in on. She could feel herself quickly feeling worn down as the night went on. Seeing Happy in a corner with Jax, Kozik and Donut she made her way over.
"Hey Lex," Happy greeted as she joined the group standing behind him.
"I'm getting kinda tired. I think I'll call it a night."
"Here," He said reaching into his pocket for his keys. "Just go get some sleep in my dorm, I'll get you your bag if you need it."
"I can head home, it isn't far. Plus that way you can just stay and hang with the guys."
"Nice try but not gonna happen." He told her standing next to her. "You're not going home alone."
"I'll take Bec with me?" She suggested, "I'd really rather be in our bed at home."
"That's not an option."
Happy wrapped his arms around her shoulders and directed her to a hall she hadn't noticed off the side of the bar. Getting further down the hall Lexi realized this must be the direction to the SAMTAC dorms.
"Hap thi--"
"We will talk when away from prying ears," He said cutting her off.
They continued down to the very end of the hall where Happy turned and opened a door. Lexi noticed hanging on the door was a reaper almost identical to the one Happy wore on his back. It even had the signature grin that made it perfectly Happy.
Upon entering the room she couldn't help but giggle. It was pretty much the same way his apartment had been the first time she had visited him in Tacoma. Everything a shade of black, white or a charcoal grey. His gun cleaning kit laid out on the desk while his tattooing kit lay on a table on the other side of the room. She knew without looking the clothes were all meticulously folded in the dresser or hung in the closet. She could also guess his bottles of cologne and aftershave would be sitting on the right furthest edge of the bathroom counter while his shaving kit and tooth brush would be in the top sink drawer. His OCD made him predictable but only if he allowed you into his inner sanctum to know his habits.
"What's so funny?" He asked her closing and locking the door.
"You. A place for everything and everything in its place," she told him. As if to mock him she took off her leather jacket and hung it on the back of the desk chair where she knew he must have usually hung his cut. Walking slowly towards the closet, the stripped down to her lacey bra and thong set before opening the closet to pull on one of his t-shirts.
"Well just make yourself at home," he told her following behind and putting her clothes in the hamper as he went and sitting on a chair at the table.
"See I could, but I have a slight issue," She said approaching him and straddling his lap before continuing. "I'm feeling pretty exhausted after that baby shower. Not to mention trying to grow these twins is definitely taking it's toll. And I see what could be perhaps a very comfortable bed, but it's irking me how many of those dirty clingy bitches have been in it."
"Well I guess it's good for you and your exhausted self, you're the only one I've ever had sex with where I sleep."
"Seriously?" She asked completely pulled from the seducing train of thought she had been following.
"Yup. Don't seem so surprised," he told her shifting to lift her and carry her to the bed. "Care to break it in?"
"With all these people? Remember last time..."
"We're a bit more sound proof here," he said starting to kiss down her neck. Hitting her sweet spot every argument she had went out the door.
Lexi wrapped her legs up and around his waist and ground against his growing bulge. It created just the right friction she was looking for. Happy kissed to the edge of his shirt she was wearing before finally stripping her of the article. Now he could see the full splendor of the lingerie she had been attempting to hide from him today. He continued down his previous trail of kisses to her breasts which he quickly freed and began sucking on one nipple while playing with the other.
Lexi's hands made their way down his body until they found his belt which she undid quickly to shed his pants and boxers. Once his lower clothing was gone, she made quick work with her hands bringing him to fully erect. When Happy saw how eager she was to progress their current activities he leaned back just enough to remove his own shirt before rolling them so he was on his back. Without missing a beat Lexi slid her underwear aside and took him fully inside of her. Though Lexi was trying to give her body time to adjust in the new situation, Happy knew if he stayed still any longer, he wouldn't make it to her orgasm. Starting to raise her, he let her guide herself back down choosing the speed. She started off slowly. Bent over his body so she could kiss and bite at his neck. It didn't take long before she sped up and the room was filled with the sound of skin smacking together and their sexual moaning. Happy knew he didn't have much left in him so he moved to circle her clit with his thumb knowing it was always her weak spot.
"Fuck...Yes...Right there Hap!"
With a few more thrusts her walls started squeezing with orgasm while her body shook. He let himself release knowing she had reached her high. That was always his main goal. He always had to know she found her pleasure before he got his. Something he never worried about with other bitches from his past.
"So good," she hummed.
"Glad you liked it. Now get some sleep," he told her pulling out and tucking her into the blankets.
"Where you going?" She asked as he got out of bed.
"Just gonna shower," he told her kissing her forehead.
By the time he got out of the shower and dried off, she was softly snoring while cuddling his pillow. He couldn't help but shake his head seeing the way she buried her face in it as if it was his chest. Making sure to double check the door was locked he went back out to join the party in the main room.
