Finding Happiness Ch. 6

A lite buzzing of her alarm woke Luna. Turning towards the end table was difficult, she was held down by a pair of strong arms, looking towards her bedmate, Happy had her wrapped in his arms and even had a leg tossed over hers. Well, looks like the biker likes to snuggle. If the situation was confusing for her, she would have found the whole thing sweet, but now was not the time to sit around and ask questions, she had to get ready for work, this was her first day back in the ER in a week. Carefully she lifted his arms and started the gentle process of wiggling out of his grasp, turning her body she was able to slip off the bed and ninja roll on the floor. Peering over the bed, she could see that she didn't disturb him.

Quickly grabbing her towel, she headed towards the bathroom, quickly jumping in the shower she started her morning routine, it didn't take too long because she handled most of her selfcare the night before. Stepping out of the shower she wrapped the towel around her body, and started to put herself together, first hair, a little make-up, deodorant, and finally she brushed her teeth, finally done she looked around and realized that she left her scrubs in the room. Damn it! She wasn't ashamed of her body, but until she figured out what the hell was going on with the man in the room, being naked around him wasn't really an option.

Slowly opening the door, Luna gripped her towel as tight as she could, seeing that he was still asleep, she quickly walked into her closet. Dressing quickly, she looked back at the bed, he was still asleep. She honestly had no idea what she was supposed to do, she didn't think she should wake him, so grabbing a pen, she wrote a quick note. Quietly leaving the room she shut her door, heading towards the kitchen she put a fresh pot of coffee on, grabbed some breakfast, and even made a small plate for him. Walking out the door, she locked up and drove herself to work, most of the way to work she was wondering about the man in her bed, why on earth did she allow him in her bed, did she want him there? Was he looking for a fuck buddy? Jesus. This is complicated. Pulling in the parking lot, she walked inside, clocked in, and grabbed the first chart for her first patient of the day. She'd worry about Happy after work.

Happy felt rested, it's been a long time since he slept so soundly, reaching over the bed he found it was cold and empty, quickly sitting up he looked around the room, she wasn't anywhere to be seen. His first reaction was to get mad and find her, but before he could let the anger built, he saw the note on her pillow.

NOTE:
Sorry about leaving without waking you, but you seemed like you were enjoying the bed. Went to work, coffee is ready in the kitchen, and there is a plate of food in the fridge for you. I'm working 12hr shift, so if you leave, please lock up.

Luna.

Getting out of bed, he made his way towards the bathroom, he could see that she left a towel for him and even a fresh bar of unscented soap. Taking his time in the shower, he rinsed the night off. As he finished up, he wrapped the towel around his waist and grabbed his toothbrush, looking in the mirror he looked at the bunch of happy faces that covered his lower stomach. 14 in total, each one a specific hit for the club, this didn't include anyone that just needed to be killed. He was a murderer, torturer, what the fuck was he doing with a nice normal girl. He didn't take too long thinking about it, heading out to the bedroom he dressed quickly and grabbed his kutte.

He headed towards the kitchen, he looked around the house, it was a big 3/2 home, she had a bunch of pictures on the wall, some of when she was a kid with what appeared to be with her family, others were here with friends in high-school or college. She looked happy. Smiling at the pictures, he finally got to the kitchen and poured himself a cup of coffee, opening the fridge he could see that she made some breakfast burrito, pulling it out he warmed it up and set up at the countertop. As he ate, he was pleasantly surprised how good the food tasted. I guess she can cook. Thinking back at the conversation they had at the diner.

Happy wasn't shy about snooping around the house, he wanted to get to know her, and he wasn't exactly known for normal conversations, walking through the house, he could see that she kept it clean and tidy, her decorations were nice, but wasn't overly feminine, he wasn't sure what he would do if she had all pink and lace in the house, finding the second and third bedrooms she had them set up with full sized beds, like the rest of the house it was nice looking but it wasn't overly feminine. Taking his time he walked out towards the garage, it was clean, organized he was happy. He was a clean and organized person, it was good to know that she wasn't a messy person, he could tolerate a lot, but messy, he wasn't sure that he would be able to deal with. Hell, when Jax and Wendy were together and on decent terms hated going over there, Wendy wasn't a housemaker, she would leave food, clothes around.

Too soon, his phone rang, and it was Clay saying that he was needed at Church. Making sure that he had everything he needed, he headed out the door, making sure he locked it behind him. He would need to see her later; he was going to need a key. Revving his engine he headed towards the clubhouse, ready to handle his business.

Luna was so close to the end of her shift, it was a great day, handled a few stitches, a few kids with either a cold or something stuck up their noses. It felt good to be in the ER, she loved it. But her peace was interrupted, car accident victim was being wheeled in, he was thrashing around. Quickly making her way over to the gurney. "Sir, you need to calm down you're in St. Thomas, I'm going to do everything I can do help you." As she took the time to do a quick evaluation over him, but he wouldn't stay still, trying to get his blood pressure he panicked at her touch and lashed out, sending her flying to the ground.

Shaking her head, she could feel the side of her face was warm, touching it, she felt a little blood. Damn it. Standing up, "Get restraints on him, run a tox panel." The other nurses and doctors were able to hold him down and get him restrained, soon enough the ER Trauma doc came in and took him up to CT.

"Luna, you're bleeding, you need to get that looked at." Charlie said.
"I know, who's available to look at it?" she asked. Luna always liked Charlie, he was a sweet guy, he was just starting his career in nursing.

Looking around the ER, he saw Tara was just standing at the nurse's station waiting for her turn to grab a patient. "Dr. Knowles, Luna needs to be seen, a patient hit her." He breathed out. Turning back towards Luna, "There you go, doctor on the way." With that he took off, he was going to check on his other patients in the bay before they were discharged by the doctors.

Luna internally groaned, but protocol stated that a doctor needed to clear her. She could see Tara felt the same way about the situation, but she kept it professional, so it was what it was.

Walking into a ER room, Luna sat on the bed while Tara made her assessment.

"Did you lose consciousness when you hit the floor?"
"Nope."
"Do you feel dizzy, or nauseous?"
"Nope."
"Follow my finger."
Luna did as instructed.
Putting her hands on her neck, "Look up and down, then side to side. Please."
As she finished up the final tasks, Luna looked at Tara, she could see that she was tired, and looked worried. Perhaps her stalker ex was being creepy again.

Tara saw that Luna was going to be fine, other than a couple stitches and a bruise on her cheek, no major damage. Grabbing the suture kit out of the drawers, she quickly finished up stitching Luna's face. It was just under her eye socket, but Tara did her best so that the scar would all but be invisible.

"All done." Tara said as she cleaned up the mess.

Luna knew that they would never be friends, but they could remain professional. "Thanks Dr. Knowles." Looking in the mirror she could see that Tara used a Plastic Surgeon stitch to better hide the scar. "Nice stitch work, impressive for a resident."

Looking over at the blonde, Tara was surprised that she would even say anything. "Uh, Thanks. I did a long rotation in plastics and spend a lot of time in the burn unit."

Getting off the bed, they made their way towards the nurses' desk, Luna grabbed the paperwork that she needed fill out for her incident, "It shows." Taking a moment, "Call your ex's boss, I saw him with you the other night, and you looked scared, don't let him back you into a corner, he's banking on you to run, don't give him that." With that Luna turned and headed towards HR, she was going be there a while longer filling out their paperwork as well.

Tara watched as she went up the elevator, too stunned to speak. She knew that Luna was right, Josh was a psycho, why not get the cops and ATF involved, so if anything happened, she would be protected. Because not matter how hard she tried Jax wasn't giving her the time of day, so it looked like this was something that she was going to have to deal with on her own. Walking into an on-call room she dialed the ATF office in Chicago, and made her complaint, then followed up to a call the station, after speaking with Unser she felt better. She was told that he was already on a flight back to Chicago to face criminal charges for harassment. Taking a deep breath, she smiled perhaps she didn't need Jax at all.

Happy looked down at the young girl finishing up his tattoo, another smiley face to add to the collection. It was well earned, taking out one of the Nord's to send Darby a message, well, he really did hate the Nazi fuck. Taking another shot of whiskey, he let her clean up the ink and he put his shirt back on, looking over at the guys at the bar, they were all sitting around waiting for the next set of marching orders. With the warehouse destroyed by the Mayans and Nord's trying to push into Charming, things were complicated. Add a little ATF bullshit, it was enough to make any man crazy.

Putting on his kutte, he made way out the door, he was going to see Luna. Figured now was a better time than any to handle their current situation. She was his, and he wasn't about to let her forget it.

Jax caught him by the bikes, Opie and Bobby were standing around talking about some rebuild. "Heading out Killa?" he asked.

Nodding his head, "Yup, gonna grab a bite to eat and head to the hospital."

Jax looked closely at his friend, damn, Killa has a thing for the blonde nurse. "You claiming her?" he asked. He figured that might have been the case, but it sucked, he kinda thought she was sexy too, but perhaps he needed to focus on being a dad, later down the road he could find himself a good old lady.

Happy knew that if he didn't claim her now, Jax would. While he loved his brother, he was certain he would beat his ass if he tried. "Yea. She's mine. That OK with you VP?" he grumbled out.

Opie, Bobby, and Jax stared at him. In all their years, no one would ever suspected that Happy would ever take an old lady, but here was claiming her. Jax smiled, he knew that Happy needed someone, and Luna may be small, he was certain she was tough as nails. "Yea brother, she's good people, treat her good, she looks like she'd set your balls on fire if you hurt her." With that the others gave their approval.

Nodding his understanding, Happy made his way to the hospital, it was time that she got on board with this, he wasn't going to let another man sniff around what was his. Pulling in he walked directly into the ER, he could see a bunch of people running around, most of them looked lost, shaking his head, he made his way up the nurses station, he could see that some black kid was running the desk.

"Is Luna Erickson here?" he rasped out.

Charlie had to blink, this man was scary as hell, but damn was he fine. Lucky bitch. "Yea she's in HR, she got hurt she's filling out paperwork."

His eyes glared down at the young man, raising his voice, "WHAT do you mean she's hurt?" His body was shaking, someone hurt his girl. OH FUCK NO!

Taken back by his aggression, Charlie was now scared for himself, for Luna, for anyone that would approach this guy. He knew from growing up here the SONs were not to be messed with and now he was the barer of bad news.

Happy was livid, he could see that he scared the man half to death, but if this little shit didn't start talking soon, he was going to beat his ass. Lucky for him, the person that he wanted to see happened to be leaving the hospital and noticed that he was standing at the nurse's station.

"Happy, what are you doing here?" she asked.

Turning quickly around he saw the bruise of her face, stepping into her space, "What happened little girl?" His voice did not give any room for playing around.

Putting her hand on his shoulder, "Relax OK, a patient had a seizure and lashed out, wasn't his fault. Please can we step outside and talk, I promise I'll tell you everything." She needed to get him out of the ER, he was probably about to blow, and she still needed to be able to come to work.

Her eyes pleaded with him, and he nodded, taking her hand he all but dragged her outside. "Talk. Now."

Settling on the bench, she took a breath, "A patient was in a car accident, he was disoriented and when I went to take his BP he backhanded me, we got him restrained and sent up to CT, ran his tox panels, and he came back clean, turns out his doctor changed his dosage of his medications, which caused him to have a seizure, it wasn't his fault." Looking up at him, she could see his jaw was ticking, but at least he wasn't heading back inside, "I needed a couple stitches, but other than that, no damage done. So please, no need to go cave man. Alright?"

He stood there for a minute or so, he really needed calm down, looking down at her face, he could see that she was hoping he would relax, her eyes also told the truth, she wasn't trying to protect someone from his wrath, that made him feel better. Taking his hand, he gently pulled the band-aid aside, he could see that the stitches were small, so it wasn't a big injury, good. Putting the band-aid back he rubbed his finger on her cheek that wasn't injured. "Don't like seeing you hurt little girl."

Letting out a breath that she didn't even know she was holding. "Not a fan of it myself, but shit happens in ER. I promise though, if something was every done with intent, you'd be the first one I call." She knew that was a scary thought, but if she didn't and he found out, it would end up being 10x worse.

Pulling her into his chest, it made him feel better knowing that she would call him if someone deliberately hurt her. "Good, you're mine little girl. No one hurts what's mine."

Keeping her arms wrapped around him, she had a million questions on what that meant, but for now she would just nod. "OK."

Taking a step back, "Get your shit and head home, I'll be there in a moment, I need to take care of something."

Luna nodded and headed to her car, she was curious about what he was going to go do, but decided that right now, she just wanted to get home, and make some dinner. The rest of it be damned. She saw him get on his bike and leave the hospital, so at least he wasn't going in to deal with her patient. Another sigh of relief.

As she pulled into her driveway she got out and headed inside, locking the door behind her, she quickly undressed and got into the shower, when she was finally clean, she dressed in a pair of jean shorts and a yellow tank top. She didn't want to look like she was trying to impress him, if he wanted to take her out or to the club for a party, yea, she'd dress up, but if it was just them in the house, he was going to get her as she was. No frills. Heading towards her kitchen, she smiled as she saw that he washed his dish and put in the drying rack. He's domesticated. She thought to herself.

Grabbing what she needed, she started the process of making chicken parm, it was one of her favorite meals, it always made her feel better after a rough day. As she got everything finalized and ready to plate, she heard a motorcycle pull up and soon enough a knock at the door. Taking a second to look through the peephole, she saw Happy, and opened the door.

Stepping aside she let him in, "Dinner's done, made chicken parm. You are hungry, right?" she asked.

The smell of food made his mouth water, "Yea little girl. I'm starving."

Shutting the door, they both made their way to the table, she handed him a beer and one for herself, and they ate in a nice comfortable silence.

Happy was fine with the silence, but he knew she would have questions, "So ask." He told her.

Looking up, Luna was kind of startled by his opening, but she was realizing, he wasn't a man of sweet words, he was direct. Always. "What do you mean, I'm yours?" That was what she wanted to know, she didn't understand the biker culture, so she needed to ask.

Grabbing her plate, and his, he cleaned off the dishes, he could feel her eyes on him. "It means that no one is fucking you but me, it means, no one is sleeping here but me, it means that you're my girl, then one day, my old lady."

Blinking at him, "Does that work both ways? You don't fuck anyone but me? You're mine?"

He never thought of that, was he really going to give up all the easy pussy on the road for her? Looking over his shoulder, he could see that she was not demanding his loyalty, just trying to understand her current situation, this is one of the many reasons he knew she was right for him, but it was true, he was tired of all the free pussy, it wasn't anything to him anymore, he wanted what Clay and Gemma have, even as President he never stepped out on Gemma, he could too, but he loved her, she made him stronger. Happy was a primal being, he wanted a mate, Luna was perfect. "Yea, means my dick doesn't go anywhere but in you."

Gasping at his words, he couldn't help but laugh at the look on her face. "Is that so hard for you understand little girl?"

Luna took a mental inventory, his mine, I'm his, check. I don't fuck anyone but him, he doesn't fuck anyone but me. Check. I have a boyfriend who's a biker. Check. Will be an old lady. Check. "No, it's not, but it surprising. I have a couple more questions, if you don't mind." She said, waiting for him to finish up.

Turning his body towards her, he indicated that it was OK to ask. "Hit me."

"Do I ever get to know everything or am I going to be kept in the dark?" She wanted to know.

"Do you want to know everything?" he countered.

Taking a quick moment, she knew that it was probably the only way this would work. "Yes."

Rubbing his face, "Than you will. Next."

"Can I talk to Gemma about things if I have questions?"

Happy was glad that she was thinking about Gemma, that woman would be the perfect person to help her get accustomed to this life. "Yea, but our business between me and you is not up for discussion, we handle our own shit, got it?"

Nodding, "Sounds fair. Last question. Are you ever put your hands on me?" That was the one she needed to know, her last boyfriend slapped her in an argument, and she left, she could handle a lot of things, but she would never let a man put their hands on her.

He watched her eyes, he could see a memory float past them, who ever put their hands on her, if they came within a 1000 yards he'd kill them. "No, if I'm ever that mad at you where I want to put my hands on you, I'll leave, and calm down. But don't think you can slap me when you're mad, I won't tolerate that shit."

She smiled at him, "I won't. I may call you a dickhead, but I'll keep my hands to myself."

Walking up to her, he grabbed her by the hands and headed towards the bedroom, while he wanted to fuck her, he knew that he wanted to claim her in front of his brothers, after the Taste of Charming tomorrow night, there was going to be a party at the clubhouse, it was the perfect time for him to do that, show the guys she belonged to him, and the whores that he was off limits.

Quickly stripping down, he was left in nothing but his boxers, he watched as she kept her tank top on, and left her panties. Pulling her down into his chest.

"Little girl, tomorrow you better be ready for me, because I'm fully claiming you." Kissing the top of her head, he wrapped himself around her.

Luna let out a slow breath, yea, she was beyond nervous. Placing a light kiss on his chest. "OK Happy. Goodnight."

"Night little girl."
