He stood up and got his balance and walked into the bathroom before getting dressed.

The desk clerk looked up as Toby walked up. "Good evening sir, can I help you?"

Toby nodded as he handed him the room card. "I'm checking out."

The clerk nodded and swiped the card and read the screen. "Very good Dr. Curtis, everything is already processed. Thank you for staying with us."

Toby nodded as he kind of tipped his hat towards the man and made his way out and got into a cab to go back to his hotel. He'd always had a lot of pleasure in gambling. The excitement, the handling of the chips matching his mind against the odds of the cards and the tells of the other players. But last night hadn't brought him the same pleasure. He'd really expected it to be overwhelming for him but it was like slipping into a warm bath. Nice, but a shower would work too.

A few minutes after leaving the casino he had a second thought. "Hey buddy, I might have hooked up with a lady I shouldn't have. Is there a facility that is open right now I could go get a blood test before I go home tomorrow?"

The cabbie looked back and smiled as he nodded. "I got ya my man. There is a place about five minutes from your hotel if you want me to take you there. I can wait too if you want."

Toby nodded. "That works for me."

As he walked into the hotel he was stopped by the front desk and given about six messages. Five of them were from Happy and one from Walter. He glared at Walter's. "Toby, I left a message on your phone too. Happy has tried to get a hold of you several times today. I hope you aren't gambling."

Toby huffed as he crumbled it up and threw it in the trashcan before he got in the elevator. When he got up to his room he called Happy's phone and this time he decided to leave a message. "Good evening my sweet little Asian princess. Sorry we had some very interesting lectures today and I must have forgotten to take my phone off of silent mode. I had tried to reach you Friday night. I hope everything is okay there. I guess if it wasn't, someone would have left me a message letting me know. I'm looking forward to seeing you tomorrow."

Toby slept fitfully that night. He'd kept running through his head just what he wanted to do once he got home. He was planning to screw her one last time and then leave her. If she wants Walter so much, she can have him.


Present day:

He slowly stood up as his thoughts came back to the present. He stepped over to the front door and flipped the lock and opened the door. He saw Happy standing there, tears running down her cheeks. He turned without saying a word and left the door standing open.

Happy inhaled a stuttering breath and she slowly stepped inside and pushed the door closed. She watched Toby slowly walk on into their front room after picking up his suitcase. He sat down in the recliner chair leaving the suitcase next to it. She slowly kicked off her shoes before she moved towards the front room even more slowly than he had. She saw the Dr Shaz on the island and picked it up and sat it on the coaster on the coffee table where his drink normally sat and pushed it over next to him.

She stepped on around him and sat down on the coffee table where she normally sat whenever Toby was going to explain something to her. She'd hoped this familiar act would help him to speak. She'd never counted on him being so quiet. She knew from her own anger, quiet was never a good thing as it meant she was building to an explosion.

Toby sat there his eyes just kind of looking off in a way she'd never really seen from him before. Ten, fifteen maybe thirty minutes passed and still he sat. While her tears had stopped some time prior she had to keep blowing her nose. His eyes swept across her face several dozen times during all of that time until finally they stopped on her. "So how many times did you actually fuck Walter? How many times did you suck his cock?"

Happy inhaled sharply she wasn't sure how he knew it had been Walter and Paige but she shouldn't have been surprised. Who else could she have been involved with before he left for the conference. Not to mention when was she ever away from him long enough to develop that kind of a relationship with someone else. She swallowed several times. "I-I'm not sure to be honest. Maybe four times each. He didn't always orgasm with me."

"How am I supposed to go into work tomorrow with their smug faces knowing what they got you to do behind my back?" Toby asked with a flat, emotionally vacant voice.

Happy shook her head. "They wouldn't do that, they are both extremely sorry it happened this way. They said they'd be willing to come over and talk with you tonight if you wanted them too. They wanted me to apologize in person with them present but I was pretty sure you'd be too mad to listen in person. That's why I made the video. I figured you would listen to it first. Then you could explode on me for being stupid and betraying you."

Toby gave a short mirthless laugh. "They bed you behind my back and you think they wouldn't be all smug about it? You really are naïve."

Happy shook her head. "Walter is always kind of smug but he wouldn't be smug about this. He'd actually wanted me and Paige to talk to you about me and her before this weekend, before it went as far as it did between just the two of us. Because he had no problem with me and her doing things but he didn't want it to impact you. I just couldn't see it being a good thing. As if what Paige and I were doing was a good thing. Originally Paige had just wanted me to watch them have sex, after I caught her under Walter's desk a week ago sucking his cock and I told her what a turn on it had been. But then in the moment she wondered what it would be like seeing Walter having sex with someone else and so she took it further. Walter didn't even know it until she took his mask off in the middle of our orgasms."

"But then he was only too happy to continue with you involved." Toby exclaimed.

Happy nodded. "He did once he was sufficiently aroused but I was willing to do it aroused or not. He was pulled into it without his knowledge. I however chose to do it knowing full well who it was from the start. You have no reason to believe me but Walter is really distressed about it."

Toby shook his head and then looked at her. "So were you actually behind on that job or was that just a lie I didn't see?"

Happy nodded. "I was actually behind. But Walter worked with me Friday and Saturday and we got back on track and I finished it last night. We talked about the situation today before I had to leave to meet you when you were scheduled to land. For whatever it is worth, I lied by omission, and I'm sorry I did that, I wish I had just been upfront with you but I was scared at first of what it meant. I don't know how I could ever make this up to you, but I want to so bad. I want you to forgive me, so we can continue to be a family and tell me how I can fix this between us."

"What makes you think I want this fixed between us?" Toby shot back at her.

Happy shrugged. "I don't, I'm just hoping you do."

Toby shook his head. "You know, you and Paige, I could see and forgive that. I'd rather you have come to me first and explained about the dream and what you wanted to do. I could even agree for the two of you having fun together like that on an ongoing basis. At least as long as it didn't impact us. But how do I get past Walter? Isn't it bad enough I have an inferiority complex around him? Now I got this. Is his cock bigger than mine? Does he use it better than I do? Are you going to be tempted to jump back in the sack with him?"

Happy looked up at him. "First it doesn't matter to me which of you has the bigger cock or how well he uses his. It is you I love and I have always enjoyed our love, I know I royally screwed up, I'm sorry. I will not ever have sex with Walter period. That is over forever, he didn't want to do it anyway and Paige agreed with me. And I was never tempted to have sex with him before. It was only my urge with Paige that allowed that to happen and it won't ever happen again. And I know it won't because I won't ever let myself to be brought into a situation where it could happen again."

"So how long has this been going on? Did you use protection? Is he the father of your baby?" Toby asked angrily.

Happy swallowed and shook her head. "I was pregnant before the dream Toby. That was over a week ago, and you know that. This just happened this weekend. I've never been unfaithful to you before. While I do trust Paige and by extension Walter to be clean, I still went this morning for a blood test to be sure I wasn't exposed to anything. But if you want a paternity test when our baby is born, I'd understand and support that."


Toby looked over at their closet and he got up and walked over and opened the door. He reached within and moved a couple of boxes and got one out. He closed the door and walked back to the recliner and opened his suitcase and got his laptop out before he sat down in the recliner with the items. Happy frowned as she tried to see what it was. She watched as he opened the box and pulled a small steel security lockbox out. He entered a combination and then opened the box. He shuffled some kind of paper around and pulled an envelope out and handed to her.

Happy frowned but began tearing into the envelope marked HP#3.

She pulled out a letter and began reading.

"These are my psychological evaluations of the Scorpion dynamic regarding Happy Quinn three months after Paige Dineen joined Scorpion. Due to the emotional issues concerning her parents and the horrible experiences she had in foster care, Happy hasn't been able to socialize properly with people. This lack of socialization will most likely, one day, when she has sufficiently developed socially, to learn she isn't a heterosexual. From all markers I am sure she is bisexual."

"Her hostility has been her armor against all of that pain of being alone. I don't know if she's ever noticed but even though she is angry with everyone at times, she is much softer towards other women in comparison to men, unless she is already upset. She has a deep friendship with Walter and she is like Sylvester's older sister. But she has never had any female friends and she desperately wants one."

"With what Paige has demonstrated to Scorpion by showing everyone proper emotional expression I believe that Happy will come to realize that what I've told her in my teasing and sometimes downright truthful manner is that she does love me. I'm also 90% certain that Paige is bisexual and Happy will pick up on this at some point, perhaps 4 or 5 years from now, depending on Happy's development. She will reach out to Paige and they will manifest in a sexual relationship unless Paige initiates one with her before I have a chance to convince Happy to take a chance on us."

Happy finished and she frowned. She looked up at Toby who sat with an amused smile on his face. "You knew this was going to happen?"

Toby nodded. "Well I didn't figure on Walter being involved." He held his laptop out to her.

Happy frowned but took it and opened it and turned it on. As it came up she saw the video player was already pulled up. She looked at him and he nodded so she clicked play. Her eyes went wide as she saw herself undressing Paige and then began pleasuring her before they walked arm in arm over to the stairs and up to the loft. Happy's cheeks were as red as possible and she closed the laptop quickly. "How?"

Toby grinned seeing her shock and pain. "How did I get the video?" He watched her nod. "Well I'd tried to call you several times Friday night and you never answered. So I pinged your phone and found it was in the Garage. But no one picked up the Garage phone so I thought I would log in to the server and try to access the CCTV cameras but they were all encoded and I couldn't hack them. Imagine my surprise when I saw there was a camera on the network that wasn't encoded like the rest. So I clicked on it and a few moments later, just as I was about to log out, I saw you walk into the Garage naked and I began recording this as I saw it happening live."

He held his hands out towards Happy.

Happy slowly stood up and stepped over and turned to sit down on his lap. "I'm really sorry Fungus. I never meant for you to find out what happened like this, away from home, away from me. I was always going to tell you. I know it is hard to believe but I love you too much not to be honest about what happened this weekend."

Toby cleared his throat. "Well, we're going to have to have more talks you and me about this. If we're going to make this work, we probably should go see Rizzuto about it as well. He's smarter than I ever gave him credit for, especially for someone who never went to Harvard. We're going to have to sit down and have a talk with Walter and Paige. I'm not happy about this by any stretch of the imagination. And you and I need to take time off from Scorpion. We can take a vacation break."

Happy looked at him. "There is the Hoover Dam job next weekend."


Greetings! Hope everyone is doing well!

Railman/Champagne42 - While I didn't write it Happy had left the Garage about three hours before Toby's plane was due to land. So she had time to take care of a few things such as making that video and going to get a blood test.

Railmain - Yep, Walter had only meant for it to be used to make that video of Paige and him Thursday after work. He was a bit careless to say the least.

Champagne42 - Yep, Toby succumbs to that side of himself pretty heavy in chapter 3 and the start of 4. It isn't pretty to say the least.

Susan - Yea, I feel so bad about these stories and what I did to the four of them. Then part of me cackles. lol 9 chapters in and only cover the first 48 hours.

To the Adventure! -Tim
