Here is a smaller chapter of basically smut but it's important as it's the last time jump and the story will carry out on a day-by-day basis after chapter 10.

Chapter 9

1993

Happy age 42

Bramty age 8

The guys in Charming had already known Happy was gonna spend Christmas with his Ma, taking a week off from the club for appointments and shit. It's what he had been doing for the past 3 years on every holiday.

If any of them suspected something they hadn't voiced it - only sending wishes of good health to his Ma.

He'd gone on a run with Piney and Bobby to get some pills for cheap from some bitch Piney knows. They were the shit his Ma needed for her MS syndrome and he hadn't even had to pay anything for a whole years supply.

He was planning on taking those up with him tomorrow when he and Bramty go up for Christmas at his moms place. They'd had a tradition of spending every holiday except for Halloween up at her place and this year was no different.

Parking outside of Bramty's newest house Happy was a little surprised to find the address in a nicer area. Usually it was crappy apartments or run down houses that they crashed in, a few times even in hotels with the other whores. So far, this was the best place and he hoped he didn't get the wrong address.

Bramty had made the move three days ago and let him know when they were on the phone cause she knew he was coming back to get her for Christmas. His Ma had splurged on gifts for Bramty - like she did every year - but this one was by far the biggest.

He sighed knowing he'd probably have to borrow a car and make a trip back with Bramty and then go get his bike.

Knocking on the front door he shook his head slightly when he was assaulted by the smell of alcohol wafting off the woman attempting to be sexy as she stood there in front of him.

"Move bitch" a growl from behind the woman had him smirking and holding back a laugh. Bramty didn't take kindly to the women she lived with trying to push up on him and she'd put them on their ass for it.

"Go to your room kid" the blonde hissed back and Bramty's face went from an irritated scowl to a full on death glare. If looks could kill... this bitch would be dead 10 times over!

"Go suck a cock, and get out of my goddamn way!" Bramty fired back and Happy stayed silent watching the interaction. He'd tried to calm the situation down the first time he'd witnessed this and it hadn't ended well for him with Bramty. She had been mad at him the whole day but he hadn't understood why until she explained that if she let them walk all over her with him here then it would be worse when he left.

He'd felt like shit then knowing as soon as he left the house she'd be arguing and fighting with the bitches because he'd gotten involved. Happy hadn't realised just how much like croweater's these women were until then.

They wanted to stake their claim on customers cause it made them more important in the household. The more important you were, the more money you earned as well as the more say you got over things.

Bramty was the lowest already and she had to fight back and put them in their place if she wanted to be heard. While he hated that with a burning passion he wasn't going to make her life harder.

"Go suck your mom's tit you little bitch" the blonde swung at Bramty slapping her across the face and a low growl rumbled from his throat before he could stop it. Though he didn't move from where he was standing, no matter how much he wanted to kill the blonde bitch. He only watched as Bramty's fist connected with the woman's stomach and then her face twice.

"Stay away from him" Bramty growled before grabbing her backpack she'd dropped and walking out the door shoving him forward so she could shut it behind her. "Sorry" she mumbled

"You alright baby girl? this house is a lot more intense hey?" he asked cause he knew that at some houses she got on fine with the other women. It wasn't like that all the time but there was often that one bitch who just got on her case.

"Yeah" Bramty nodded, her pigtails swishing in her face a little as she nodded her head. "Don't think we'll be here much longer though. That bitch Aria is on Katherine's case too, cause Katherine got the 30 minute dance slot at the club"

Happy rolled his eyes, of fucking course that's what had this bitch's panties in a knot.

Bramty giggled obviously knowing what he was thinking from the look on his face. He grinned at her and she laughed again.

"Are we going to watch cartoons?" she asked and he nodded as the climbed on his bike. Happy always took them to stay in the hotel for a day before they rode up to Bakersfield. He always got the week off with the club but spending a week at his Ma's place is too much.

Not that any of them wouldn't like that, but his Ma get's carried away in the holiday excitement and she does too much. She pushes herself and then hurts later for it. Happens every time no matter how much he reminds her about it, 's like she has a fear she'll miss out on something and he get's that with her being this old and sick.. she wants to make the most of everything.

He would just limit their stay to three days.

One day in Charming just him and Bramty, a day to ride up there and stop for lunch and breakfast, 3 days with his Ma and then depending on the club 2 days to just chill in the hotel once they get back to Charming.

Happy was sat on the bed, leaning against the headboard with Bramty snuggled to his side. Bramty had a selection of candy and shit she was eating next to her while they watched Bad Santa - a movie he knew was way inappropriate for a child her age - but she wasn't fazed by the nudity or sex scenes and so he just fast forwarded through them.

No way was he gonna sit here with his kid watching a sex scene... that's just wrong on so many levels.

Bramty had her bigger set of washable markers that he had bought for her last Christmas, on his lap. Happy was surprised at how well she cared for them, as if each marker was precious. She'd take a colour out of the pack and inspect it before carefully taking the cap off and using it.

Whenever they had time like this she always took the chance to draw a 'tattoo' on his arms where he had blank skin. Though, she always wanted him to draw cartoons up her arms too. His Ma hadn't been too happy about that the first year when they showed up and she had cartoon characters brightly drawn on both her arms for the Christmas pictures. Ma had wanted nice photos taken with Santa.

They were still nice if you ignored the fact Bramty's arms had cartoons on them.

Bramty knows Santa isn't real - much to his Ma's dislike - but they still had fun watching the Santa movies and Bramty appeased his Ma by getting her picture done with a Santa. Though she always turned her nose up at the man at the end when they ask what she want's the guy to bring her; as if he was actually gonna do that.

Happy always found it funny and was glad his Ma didn't go with them to take the pictures cause she would not have found it funny.

"Done! It's an elf!" she held his arm up in front of his face so he could see the elf she'd drawn. Happy laughed and smiled dropping a kiss to her forehead as she beamed a smile at him, proud of her work.

"It's really good baby girl" he complimented nodding appreciatively as he looked over the drawing. She wasn't that good at drawings, especially not on skin but when she did small simple characters they turned out good.

One of the things he liked the most about her was the fact she recognised the shit she was good at and what she was bad at. She didn't let him say something was good when it wasn't and she didn't get upset if he told her it wasn't her best work.

In fact, she'd often ask him to show her how to draw certain characters and she'd work on it again and again until she had perfected it.

Some people would probably worry about that kind of thing but he wasn't cause it was the same way he learnt to draw too. He'd see something he wanted to draw and practise it until he liked the way Happy had wanted it to.

It gave Bramty something to focus on, something to achieve, a purpose for when she was on her own and he was up in Tacoma. so he figured it was probably a good thing for her to do rather than bad. Plus, she would always be happy when she got to show him the improved skill the next time he was down in Charming.

"Ouch" Bramty stated, her voice slightly surprised and Happy frowned looking down at her to see what was wrong. She wasn't a kid who burst into tears or cried and whined when she was hurt, she simply stated that something hurt and then moved on if he couldn't fix it.

"What's wrong?" he asked when she didn't say anything further, Happy watched her get up and walk into the bathroom. He followed after her and caught her reflection in the bathroom mirror when she climbed up onto the sink.

Bramty smiled at him when she spotted him looking at her from the doorway and he laughed seeing her front tooth now gone. She held it up in her hand and he walked over taking the tooth, rinsing the blood off of it and setting it on a tissue so she could look at it.

"It's so weird" Bramty smiled at him in slight awe, this wasn't her first tooth that she'd lost but it was the first one she'd found. He had been there with her when Bramty bit into her sandwich a few years ago and accidently swallowed the tooth. It had actually happened twice.

The other time she had been wiggling it in the bathroom while she brushed her teeth and cursed up a storm when it went straight down the drain.

The last tooth Bramty lost was at thanksgiving at his Ma's place and they had been outside while she was wiggling it with her tongue and flicked it right out of her mouth. Poor thing had searched for a good hour before giving up. His Ma still gave her a dollar though.

"Cool aye?" he smirked and Bramty nodded still inspecting the tooth on the tissue, not daring to pick it up near the drain.

"Now I have 2 teeth gone on the bottom row... look Hap, there's one growing already!" She turned to him showing off her teeth.

Happy smirked and nodded kissing her forehead, "Still got enough teeth pig out on Christmas dinner though" Bramty nodded and giggled, kid could put away more food than him and his Ma combined if he let her, yet she was as skinny as a normal kid her age.

One thing he guessed Bramty got from Katherine, cause as much as the drugs and booze destroy someone's body that woman still looked good enough. He wouldn't ever go there though, he hated the bitch too much but it didn't mean he couldn't see she was hot. He figured it was in Bramty's DNA to be able to eat that much and not gain a inch.

"C'mon, time for bed kid... I'll give you a dollar tomorrow when we get to Ma's house" he picked her up and tucked her in bed. She was yawning already and didn't take long for her to be asleep, practically as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Happy knew he'd get in shit for this with his Ma but he just couldn't resist. She had never allowed him to place ornaments on the Christmas tree when he was a child. It's who he gets his little OCD habits from and the Christmas tree was one of his moms.

Elena Lowman didn't let anyone touch the Christmas tree aside from her.

Yet, this year Elena Lowman promised Bramty could help. Because in her old age she'd lost some of those OCD tendencies and wasn't so careful about how the tree was decorated. In fact last year he and Bramty had done the decorating with her dictating after she'd got mad at the mess they'd made with the tree.

He hadn't ever decorated the tree before!

" 's time to decorate the tree, mijo, nieta" Ma announced when he and Bramty walked back into the lounge room.

Happy nodded needing a little less instruction for his Ma this year when placing the lights and ornaments. It was taking longer than it took her to get it done but it was still fun.

Bramty was singing along to Christmas song after Christmas song. His Ma was filming them every now and then.

Happy had to admit these were his favourite times a year, when the three of them could just hang out as a family.

"...you're a mean one
You really are a heel
You're as cuddly as a cactus
You're as charming as an eel
Mr. Grinch, you're a bad banana
(Mr. Grinch), with the greasy black peel
You're a vile one
You got termites in your smile
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a seasick crocodile (Mr. Grinch)
You're a foul one
Friends, you don't have none
I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!
You're a monster
Your heart's an empty hole
You're a goner
You got garlic in your soul
You got garlic in your soul

All them smiles, homie
I turn to frowns
All them decorations
I tear 'em down
You can ask Max, I don't play around
Ayo (eww)

Who is this mean fellow
With his skin all green and his teeth all yellow? (eww)
What you so mad for?
Halloween come around and we ain't knockin' at your door, mane

Mr. Grinch you're a bad banana
You're gonna spoil everybody with your bad attitude
(Spoil everybody)
Mr. Grinch, La-la-la-la

Who is this mean fellow
With his skin all green and his teeth all yellow?
(La-la-la-la)
What you so mad for?
Halloween come around and we ain't knockin' at your door
Bad banana"

Bramty danced around singing, her favourite song so far had been the new rap version of Mr. Grinch you're a mean one by tyler the creator. Happy smirked as he watched her pause in decorating to sing the words. His Ma was filming her and she had yet to notice but as soon as the song finished Bramty looked up at him smiling and he scooped her up.

"I can reach the top!" Bramty grinned when she turned back to him after testing to see she could, in fact, touch the top of the tree from where she was sitting on his forearm.

" 'ey I got a surprise for you" He smirked when she raised her brows at him. He didn't have to see himself to know she'd picked up his mannerisms over the years cause that eyebrow raise was straight off his face. "Get the small red box in my bag"

He set her down grinning when she went running to do just that, "Don't run or i'll cut your feet off" he yelled after her smiling and shaking his head when he heard her giggle in response.

It constantly amazed him how she knew what he was capable of yet his threats and glares didn't effect her like they did others who also knew his capabilities. Hell even people who don't know him can pick up on the dangerous vibe!

When Bramty came back in she was walking and handed him the box he'd asked for. Happy crouched down to be eye level with her, "It's to put on the tree" he smirked before handing her the box.

No way his Ma would say no when Bramty gets excited about what he'd bought!

Bramty opened the box lifting off the tissue paper before grinning widely at him. "It's ornaments Abuela! For the tree! They're so cool Hap!" Bramty announced before lifting one out of the box to show his Ma.

It was a gun, a nice black glock. His Ma scowled at him but both Happy and Bramty were smirking. Bramty put the ornament front and centre on the tree with his help.

Bramty had always been interested in 'outlaw' things like guns, bikes, that kind of thing and Happy hadn't been more okay with it... whereas his Ma had slightly disapproved.

Ma didn't know how he met Bramty but she knew about Katherine and the time he'd seen Bramty at the strip club. Elena Lowman was of the opinion he should be sheltering Bramty from club shit, death, violence, guns... everything outlaw until she was older, much older.

"It's a skull Abuela! Look how cool!" Bramty held up the next ornament which was a skull. Probably not the best thing he could gave gotten for the tree since it was a realistic looking skull, half flesh half bone. "It's so cool!"

Oh if looks could kill, Happy would of been dead right then and there once his Ma caught sight of the ornament Bramty was placing on the tree.

Bramty wasn't like normal little girls - a fact his Ma often forgot - and also didn't fully understand since he skated around the details of how he'd met Bramty and some of the more violent things the girl had seen or done. While he agreed a normal kid should probably be sheltered from the kind of things like death, guns, bikes, skulls, sex... Bramty isn't and never has been.

What he focused on the most was the fact that Bramty didn't want to be sheltered from those things. She understood them and accepted them for what they were.

His Ma didn't get that though.

So, Elena Lowman stood glaring at him while Bramty fussed over where to put the motorcycle ornaments on the tree so you could see them straight away. The older Bramty got, the more blatant she was in her interest for things representing the outlaw lifestyle. Happy's Ma didn't want him to encourage Bramty's 'dangerous fascination with death' he rolled his eyes at the thought.

He was firm in not discouraging Bramty. Fighting, shooting, first aid, are all things he believed she should know and learn even if she chose to live her life as a law abiding citizen. But, Happy recognised the same interest in Bramty's eyes that he remembered having himself.

He knew she'd never be able to live with the 9-5, picket fence life. He knew it and he suspected it was why his Ma was trying to get him to discourage it.

But at the end of the day, if Bramty didn't have an outlet for it, if she didn't have someone to teach her control it, then one day it would get in trouble just like it had him. Only he was lucky cause it led him to the club... lots of people aren't that lucky though.

He was gonna support Bramty doing whatever the hell she wanted to do in life.

"It's looking so much better now, baby girl" he scooped her up settling her to sit on his forearm as he held her to his side. Bramty grinned up at him and kissed his cheek, bringing a rare and genuine smile to his face.
