Finding Happiness Ch. 38
Luna looked at the headstone, she visited Charlie every week, but she was having a hard time, today would have been his 27th birthday. "Happy Birthday. I miss you every day. The last couple months have been pretty good, Jax and I are doing well, it took a little bit to get our rhythm going, but we seem to have a great routine going. Abel is trying to talk more, a couple days ago, he started calling me Mama. I cried, as you could imagine," she had to take a second, catching her voice, "Devon is doing well in school, I check on him all the time," letting out another sigh, putting her hand the headstone, "I love you Charlie, I promise I'll always watch over your family." Closing her eyes, she said a little pray.
Heading back to her truck, she made her way to the hospital to start her shift. It didn't take her long to get there, grabbing her bag and badge she made her way into the ER, it still hurt to walk in and not see Charlie skulking around, but everyday she found it a bit easier.
Heading off to the breakroom, Luna stored her shit and headed out to the RN desk to see if there were any patients that were waiting for her.
Looking through the charts, she felt some nudge her shoulder, turning her head, she smiled at her friend. "Lizard Breath, what's going on?" she asked.
Snorting at the nickname, "You do realize one day, you're going to have to stop calling me that, we're not kids anymore; got it moon beam?" she retorted.
Laughing, "I only do it around you, so get over it." Looking over her friend she could see that she was tired, "You doing OK?"
Yawning, "Yea, just finished getting all my shit put away, it took so much longer than I expected, but I'm all moved in now."
Grabbing her first chart, she laughed at her friend. "Only you would take over a month to fully move in." holding the chart, "Got a boil in #6, wanna join me?" Luna asked.
Liz scrunched her nose, "See, when you ask me things like this makes me think that you're mad at me?" Giving her the biggest puppy eyes, "Did I anger you Moon Beam?
Chuckling, "No, of course not, just wanted to share in the fun. Come one what's a little puss between friends?" she teased.
Before Liz could retort, her pager went off, "Oh, saved by the bell," she looked at her pager, "Looks like someone's water broke, sorry back to GYNIE, love you bitch." With that she headed up to the labor delivery.
Luna watched the retreating form of her friend. She couldn't help but be thankful that she showed up not too long ago. She couldn't help but get sucked into the memory of it.
FLASHBACK
Luna was sitting in her office finishing up the charts from her shift. While she could have waited until tomorrow morning to fill it out, she didn't want to have to deal with all that paperwork again. It didn't take too long for her to get everything entered, letting out a sigh, she was ready to head home, she was excited to see little man, he was babbling dada all day now, he was growing up so fast, she could hardly believe a month had passed so quickly.
Heading out the door, as she waited for the elevator, she couldn't help but finally understand what parents meant by it goes by so fast, but she was just happy that she was there to see it. Hitting the button for the 1st floor, Luna stepped out and headed towards the exit, she took the detour through the ER, and was stopped by Sharon.
"Luna, I'm glad that you came down, I want to introduce you to our new labor and delivery RN. Luna this is…."
Looking up at the face of her childhood friend, "Lizard Breath?" she studdered.
Smiling back, "Hey Moon Beam."
Sharon was shocked, "You two know each other?" she asked.
Luna turned towards her boss, "Yea, we grew up together, until college she went to the east coast I stayed in Chicago." Looking back at her friend, "What are you doing here?"
Sighing, "As you know Mark and I broke up, and while it sucked, I got over it, it took a little bit, but I felt I needed a change, I didn't want to go back to Chicago, and you're always talking about Charming, so I've researching your little town, and with the schools, and hospital, I figured if you moving here got you the change you needed, maybe it can for me."
Luna understood that. "I get it. Are you scheduled to work now or are you free?" she asked.
Smiling, "I start Monday."
Nodding, "So do you have a place to stay or you hotel hopping?" she asked.
"I don't do hotels unless I can help it, no, I just closed on a house today" She said.
Luna was surprised, "Really? How long have you been here?" she was so curious.
Having the decency to look down, "About 2 weeks." She could see Luna's eyes shoot up, "I was going to tell you, I swear, but I really wanted to surprise you." Holding out her arms, "Surprise."
Shaking her head, "What am I going to do with you?" Luna knew that her friend was unpredictable, but that was one the million reasons she loved her, while a little crazy, she was loyal.
Liz kept in step with Luna as they made their way out the door, "Where we going? Can I meet your baby? Is your bf hot? Does he give good dick?" she rattled off.
Not being able to stop the laughter, she looked at her friend, yea she was going to fit in just fine. "Get in the truck, and I'll answer your questions." Sending Jax a text that an old friend showed up, and she was bringing her to the house for a bit, she knew that if Liz was here, she was going to raddle some cages.
END FLASHBACK
Shaking her head out of the memory, she was just glad that Liz was fitting in, Gemma thought she was a cool bitch, Juice's background dive turned up nothing so that was good. She was a staple at a few parties, the guys respected her enough not to be gross about it. It was all she could ask for; she was glad a part of her past was able to be with her present and future.
Walking into the patient's room, she stopped thinking about anything else but her job. "Mr. Kline, let's see if I can make you feel better." Luna quickly got to work she wanted to power through her day and get out, like always there was a party tonight, and she knew that Liz wanted to make a splash with the croweaters that stepped to her.
Hours passed and it was finally time to clock out, Luna headed towards her truck, she saw Liz getting into her jeep, "You still coming to the party tonight?" she asked.
Smiling at her friend, "Hell yes, make sure you wear something functional; I'm counting on you lover."
Laughing "You're insane you know this right? But yes, functional. Hey, do me a favor, remember the rules."
"FINE, but you better bring it." With that Liz headed towards her house and Luna made her way to hers. This was going to be an interesting night.
Jax was sitting at the dining room table feed Abel, who was babbling while he should have been eating, "Little man, eat your food, you need to get big and strong like your daddy." All he got in response was dadada.
He was happy, his life came together, his club was making money, staying out of laws eyesight, he had full custody of his son, his woman was his anchor. He truly felt blessed by it all. But the only needle in his side was the Irish, Jimmy was pushing for more, but according to his sources he wasn't in good standing with the Kings, so there was no way he would get into business with him.
Looking back at his son, he knew that Neeta was gonna show up any minute, he was glad that with Luna he didn't have to rely on her so heavily, but he wanted a night at the club with his woman.
He looked back at his son, seeing that he wasn't going to eat another bite, "OK dude, let's get you cleaned up and ready for bed." Getting his nighttime routine started he heard the garage door open and shut. "Hey baby. I'm putting him down, get ready so we can head out. Neeta should be here soon."
A quick OK, was heard.
Dressing the baby for bed, he rocked him, and read him a story, soon Abel was out like a light. Giving him a kiss on his head, "Goodnight little man." Carefully he left the room and shut to door quietly. Smiling at the sound of light knock at the door, perfect timing he thought to himself.
Looking through the peep hole he could see Neeta, opening the door, he let her inside. "Thanks for coming tonight, he's down, should be good for the night."
Neeta smiled at him. "OK, I'll call you or Luna if we need anything. Have a good night." With that she made herself comfortable on the couch and took out her knitting and started to occupy herself.
Heading towards to his bedroom, he watched as Luna was sitting on the bed braiding her hair. Looking at what she was wearing, he had to keep himself from ripping of her clothes and fucking her. "You look good."
Luna smiled at him, standing up she did a little twirl, "Why thank you kind sir. You ready to head out?" she asked him.
Extending his hand, "Let's get the fuck out of here." With that he led her out to his bike, as soon as he felt her secure around his waist, he revved his bike and headed off the clubhouse, he was looking forward to a night of fun with his brothers and girl.
Luna was sitting with on the table next to Jax, a few of the guys were outside sitting around, it was a cool night, it felt too good to be inside.
Liz was leaning against the opposite table, looking around, she could see that there gangly whores were tempted to start shit, but she had a plan, as she went to talk to Luna, she bumped into the tall bald one. Happy she thought. "Sorry, for someone so big you move very quietly, it's a little scary." She said with a little laugh in her tone.
Happy looked down at her with a smirk, "Keeps people from hearing me when I sneak up on them." He said, only half-jokingly.
Liz couldn't help but snort, "Nice. So perhaps someone should get you a bell. For when you're not planning on sneaking."
"You could try but won't end well." He said. Looking her over, he liked what he saw, she was a hot little thing, smart too, but given the fact she was friends with Luna, didn't surprise him. His eyes quickly looked her over, she was about 3 inches taller than Luna, her hair was a red color, and she had deep blue eyes.
Liz could see that he was studying her, not that she minded, she knew that she was hot. "Well, I guess I better not try then." Giving him a slight nod, she made her way over to Luna.
Luna watched the interaction with Happy, she smiled a bit, while most people wouldn't have seen more than him talking to her, she knew him, probably better than most. He definitely was attracted to Liz, she had to hold in a laugh, he was in for a big surprise if he barked up that tree. But hey if he could actually tame her, she'd give him a metal. Thinking about it, he probably would be the only one here that could. Hmm.. Interesting.
Shaking her head clear of that thought, while she would love for her friend to become an official family member, in this instance she would stay out of it, but that didn't mean she couldn't drop a thought or two at Gemma. She loved that match maker shit.
Luna watched as Liz approached her, "What's up?" she asked.
Liz gave her that smile, that indicated it was time for a little fun. Luna nodded giving her the go head.
"Not too much," looking towards Jax, "Is the ring only for boys or can the girls play too?" she asked sweetly.
Jax was a little surprised by the question, he looked around the table and got a bunch of shrugs, well if they didn't have an issue, "No, I guess you can play too. Who you wanna fight?"
Smiling sweetly, "Your old lady." Turning towards her friend. "I mean if she's up for it."
Luna couldn't help but snort, "Bitch, it's been a long time since I actually had to work hard at pining someone." Jumping down off the table, "you good with that Jax?" she asked. She knew he would be torn about it, but he wouldn't hold her back.
Opie was shocked, he really wanted to see someone try to take Luna on. "Dude, let them."
Even Otto who was all about female not fighting, wanted to see it, "Hell yea."
Jax looked over at his girl, she was waiting for his answer. He nodded.
But Tig could always be counted on to say some dumb shit. "None of this hair pulling shit, if you're stepping in the ring, step in the ring."
Luna and Liz both looked at him, their faces both screaming, SERIOUSLY?
The guys caught the looks on their faces and knew that if it wasn't for the respect, that they showed the Kutte, they would have slapped the shit out of him.
Even Tig cringed under their stare.
Luna turned to her friend and nodded, it was time to not only show these bitches that she and Liz weren't to be messed with, but also the club. While she loved them, and their male protectiveness Luna and Liz could take just about anyone on the lot.
The girls walked together towards the ring earning several looks from members and hang rounds. They climbed up at the same time and ducked under the rope, it was like a choreographed movement.
Neither girl bothered to look around, they didn't need the distractions, they both knew that the other was just as deadly, her father enjoyed having another student to teach, especially a friend of his daughters.
Luna looked over, "Don't bite me again, I hate that shit."
Liz shrugged, "I was 12, you were sitting on me." She retorted.
"Ready?" she asked.
Liz nodded, "Ready."
A tense moment between them they gave each other a final nod. That was all it took.
Luna knew that Liz was an aggressive fighter, she was always one to strike out first, seeing the first punch, she was able to duck and use a small palm strike to her stomach sending Liz back a few steps, wanting to keep her off balance for as long as she could, Luna dropped down to sweep her leg, but Liz was able to jump over it and swing her leg towards her face, putting her hands up she blocked the kick and grabbed her ankle, putting one hand on the floor she pushed herself up to give her a donkey kick but Liz blocked it. Both girls rolled back and stood up, staring at each other.
Coming together again, they battled for dominance in the ring, getting some jabs in here and there, but no one was over taking the other, they were evenly matched, after about 10 minutes of this Luna saw her opening, she let Liz grab her and put her in a choke hold, lifting her leg straight up, she was able to hit her friend in head, slightly disorienting her. Turning quickly she jumped and used both of her feet to hit Liz in the chest causing her to stumble back, as her back hit the mat, she swung her legs over her and used her arms to flip her back on her feet, she ran towards Liz jumped high and wrapping her legs around her neck, using the momentum she swung out her using her legs to stay attached to Liz and brought her down to the floor, she wrapped her hands around her neck and put her in a choke hold.
Liz knew that she was beat, lightly tapping on her arm she felt Luna let go. Quickly getting up she could see the concern on her friend's face, "I'm fine. Damn short stuff, where the fuck you learn that little move?" she asked.
Catching her breath, she shrugged, "I just thought of it, didn't think it would work."
Liz laughed, "Dude, seriously? Only you could come up with a move like that on the fly. I kind of hate you."
Luna couldn't help but laugh, "No you don't you love me."
Liz just smiled, "Meh. Maybe."
Giving each other a hug, they turned to leave the ring and they noticed the whole lot was staring at them. Feeling a little self-conscious, "What?" Luna asked.
Jax watched the whole thing, he knew that Luna was a fighter, but to this level, he didn't fucking know that, to say that he was turned on was an understatement. He saw Happy was standing next to him, "Did you know she could do that?"
Happy looked over at his stunned President, "Not like that." He eyed her friend Liz, she was trained just like Luna, he thought she was hot before, but now he just wanted to bury himself in her. He looked around the lot, a lot of the guys were looking at her now. He wasn't going to let anyone touch what he wanted.
Bobby was stunned, "So, can we bring them to our drop off's, I'm just saying I'd feel better with them around." He was only half joking.
Jax turned and laughed, "No shit."
Gemma was pleased, she knew that Luna was a badass, and she could tell that her friend was one too, this is what the club needed, women that could roll with the guys if needed.
Clay was in the group sitting in between all the guys, "Jesus Christ, there's two of them."
The weight of his words made the guys realize; Luna had a real partner in crime. Well shit.
As Luna ducked under the ropes to get out of the ring, she felt her feet go up, and ended up staring at the backside of one Jackson Teller, with a swat on her ass, he made his way towards the dorms. He needed to fuck her senseless.
