Charlie knew that Happy's heart was in a good place ever since she had told him the news of their unborn child, but she was about to strangle him. As much as she loved the protective side of the tattooed man, he was skating on thin ice. It could have been the hormones taking effect and she tried to keep her mouth shut about it but she couldn't handle the looks anymore.
She had let it slide at the club house when she had spent some time with her father before a party. Charlie knew that a lot of the men were wreckless drunks, but they also made sure to stay clear of her ever since she had became Happy's old lady. She also wasn't stupid and knew when to leave once things got a little more wild, but it didn't stop Happy from staying glued to her side. He had even followed her to the bathroom once and she was close to flipping out on him.
The next day, Charlie had offered to keep Gemma company, wanting some time with the Queen and decided to post up in her office with the older woman as she worked.
"So you care to tell me what's going with Hap?" Gemma questioned, "He can't seem to keep his eyes off of you." Gemma added.
Charlie furrowed her eyebrows in confusion because the tattooed man was suppose to be working on some transmission in the garage and looked up to see that he had positioned himself to face the small window that looked into the office as he worked on the car part.
"You gotta be kidding." Charlie growled, officially having enough, "Excuse me." Charlie added to Gemma as she pushed herself out of the chair and stormed towards the door and glared to the tattooed man, "Can we talk for a minute?" Charlie questioned loudly over the sounds of men working.
Without waiting for a response, Charlie stormed back through the office and grabbed her purse ignoring the questioning looks from Gemma and headed out to the parking lot with Happy walking out of the garage, wiping his hands on a blue rag.
"What's going on?" Happy questioned lowly, "You okay?" Happy added quickly with furrowed eyebrows.
Charlie let out a scoff as she walked towards her new SUV that she had bought almost a week ago and hit the unlock button on her key chain. She took a deep breath and turned to look up to Happy.
"I'm going to head home." Charlie breathed out watching Happy's eyes narrow.
"You're mad." Happy pointed out, "Why?" He questioned.
Charlie shook her head for a moment, "I'm not getting into it here Hap. I just...I am going to go home and take a nap. I'll cook dinner for us when you get off work."
Happy's dark eyes got a little darker, "You ain't leaving until you tell me what is wrong."
Charlie chewed on her bottom lip for a moment, debating on how to go about this without causing a fight between them and let out a small sigh. She pushed some of her dark hair out of her face that had fallen from the large messy bun, "I'm not mad. I'm just extremely annoyed with you right now." Charlie stated.
"The hell did I do?"
"You know that I love you more than anything, and I love that you are protective of me and our baby..."
"But?" Happy questioned lowly.
"But you are acting like I'm made of glass. You stare at me non-stop as if something is going to happen or like I'm going to grow two heads. I wanted to spend time with my dad and you were literally glued to my side the entire time and even tried to follow me to the damn bathroom. When you are suppose to be working, you still stared to the point Gemma questioned what was going on." Charlie explained and felt unshed tears build in her eyes, "It just...it makes me feel like you don't trust me to carry our child."
Happy frowned seeing tears start to spill down Charlie's face as she quickly wiped her cheeks away and he took a step closer to her causing her back to rest against the SUV while his hands went to either side of her head.
"That wasn't my intentions." Happy stated, "I hate that I made you feel that way." Happy added as he leaned down and kissed her forehead, "You know how I am Charlie, I fuckin' worry about you. I know you can handle yourself if need be, but I don't trust anyone with you that isn't me. It doesn't help that you are now carrying a part of us. I just..." Happy shook his head not being able to find the words.
"I don't want to seem unappreciative..." Charlie shook her head as she put her forehead against his chest for a moment, "I'm sorry, it's just the hormones kicking in." Charlie added and Happy wrapped an arm around her shoulders and kissed the top of her head.
"I'll try to chill out." Happy stated, "Can't promise anything though. You know I'm a fucking psycho when it comes to you." Happy tried to joke and got a small laugh out of the brunette.
"Just try to ease up some with the hawk eyes." Charlie mumbled, "I can deal with you being a psycho, just can't deal with being stared at non-stop." Charlie added.
"Go home and get some rest." Happy stated pushing his body away from the woman and moved to open the door to the SUV, "I should be home by five or six." Happy added and watched as Charlie got into the driver's seat.
Charlie gave him a nod, "Have you talked to Clay yet about getting a transfer?" Charlie questioned and watched him shake his head no.
"I will after work." Happy stated and leaned into the car to kiss her plump lips, "Text me and let me know when you get home." Happy mumbled against her lips.
"Alright." Charlie gave him a nod and started up the car and watched as Happy shut the door and stood back to let her back out of the parking space and headed out of the parking lot.

Charlie couldn't believe that she had slept half the day once she had gotten home from the garage and didn't realize she had fallen asleep until she smelt something cooking. For a moment she freaked out thinking someone was in their home, but then she realized that if someone was breaking in they wouldn't be cooking food.
Glancing towards the alarm clock on the night stand, she noticed that it was going on six thirty and let out a sigh as she got out of the large bed.
Making her way throught the house to the kitchen, she leaned against the door frame silently watching the tattooed man cook with a small smile on her face.
"Stop being a creep." Happy grumbled as he continued to work on the food on the stove and Charlie jumped.
"How the hell do you do that?" Charlie frowned, she had never been able to sneak up on the man like he was able to do to her.
Happy turned around to look at the brunette and smirked seeing her in a guns and roses baseball shirt with just a pair of black Calvin Klein panties that was almost covered by the shirt. Her hair was down and wild without an ounce of make-up on her face.
"Come here." Happy stated and watched she she slowly walked to him and once she was standing in front of him he wrapped his arms around her, "You done being grumpy?" Happy questioned as he leaned down to kiss her neck.
Charlie let out a little moan as Happy continued to kiss down her neck and his large hands going to her pantie covered butt and gripped each butt cheek, pulling her closer to him.
"Mmm..." Charlie moaned feeling his hardening length against her, "Uh uh...down boy." Charlie put her hands on his chest after she smelt the food he was cooking and all of a sudden grew seriously hungry, "I'm starving." Charlie added and Happy smirked and went to pull her back towards him, "For food Hap. I didn't eat lunch. What are you making?" Charlie questioned again and pushed past him to look into the pans and Happy walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist and froze for a moment.
"What?" Charlie frowned turned her head to look over her shoulder, feeling the tattooed arms tense.
Without a word, Happy pulled her away from the stove and put his hands under her arms and lifted her to sit on the counter causing her to furrow her eyesbrows as he reached for the hem of her shirt.
"What are you doing?" Charlie questioned.
Happy smiled softly seeing that her stomach was a little swollen since she was a little over nine weeks.
"You're starting to show." Happy stated causing Charlie to look down at her stomach.
Charlie smiled and let out a little laugh, "I look bloated."
Happy let out a laugh. He knew that Charlie took pride in trying to stay fit and had a flat stomach. It wasn't defined but he knew that since she was small framed, her body had started to change out of no where. It wasn't anything that other people would notice unless they had saw her naked and she was trying to keep her breasts covered since that was the most noticeable.
"Fucking beautiful." Happy stated as he placed a large hand on her stomach and leaned in to kiss her lips, "Go to the couch, dinner should be done soon." Happy added after a moment of just letting his hand rest on her stomach. The tall man helped the woman down from the counter, and swatted her butt playfully making her walk out of the kitchen.

Once the food was finished, Happy made two plates for them and carried them into the living room and sat them on the table before heading back into the kitchen to grab himself a beer and Charlie a water at her request and sat down next to her.
"This smells amazing." Charlie smiled to Happy, "Sorry I didn't cook. I didn't realize that I fell asleep for that long." Charlie added as she moved to put the plate on her blanket covered legs.
"Don't worry about it." Happy stated as he opened his beer, "Knew you were tired. I know you tossed and turned last night."
Charlie wasted no time and began to eat as Happy did the same while trying to find something to watch on the large flat screen TV.
"Oh, did you talk to Clay?" Charlie questioned.
"Yeah. He said that he would bring it up at church." Happy stated, "Oh, mom called and she wants us to go down to Bakersfield tomorrow to visit." Happy added between bites of food.
Charlie gave a nod, "I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning at 10 I think, we can go after that if you want."
Happy gave a nod. He knew that Charlie had told him that the next appointment they would be able to hear the baby's heart beat, and he had to admit that he was extremely excited but extremely terrified at the same time. He never knew that he wanted children with Charlie up until she became pregnant and he was down right scared that something would happen to either of them.
"I figured since we don't get down to Bakersfield that often, I think we should tell your mom tomorrow." Charlie explained, "I don't want to tell her over the phone."
"Whatever you want to do." Happy rasped out.
"Oh, and sometime I'm going to have to get new bras. The ones I have now are killing me. I feel like I'm being strangled." Charlie frowned knowing that she had large breasts to begin with, but ever since she became pregnant they had gotten larger, "I literally hate wearing bras now. If I could get away with it, I wouldn't wear any." Charlie added and heard Happy growl.
"You ain't going out without a bra." Happy glared at her causing her to let out a laugh.
"If I want to go out without a bra, you wouldn't even know the difference." Charlie stated matter of factly as she shoveled the food into her mouth.
"Like hell I wouldn't." Happy stated with a matter of fact tone, "In case you forgot, I know your body like the back of my hand." Happy added, "If I catch you without a bra, I'll beat your ass. I don't need mother fuckers staring at you."
Charlie rolled her eyes at her boyfriend and focused her attention on eating and watching some bike show Happy had stopped on. The two fell into a comfortable silence and finished their meals quietly, and Charlie decided to take Happy's plate into the kitchen with hers to clean up the mess from dinner.
"Babe, just put them in the dishwasher." Happy grumbled walking into the kitchen to grab another beer and saw that Charlie was hand washing the dishes.
"It's fine Hap, there aren't that many." Charlie replied, "Go sit down and relax. It's the least I could do since I didn't cook us dinner."
Happy rolled his dark eyes and noticed that there were only a couple of dishes left and knew better than to argue so he walked back into the living room and laid across the large couch and put the beer in his reach on the coffee table.
By the time Charlie was done she had crawled on the other side of Happy with her back against the couch and rested her head on his chest and covered her legs with a small blanket that was on the back of the couch and focused on the show he was watching as he slipped an arm around her.
Just as Charlie was starting to doze off on her boyfriend's shoulder the sound of few a motorcycles caused her to jolt her awake.
"Shit." Happy grumbled feeling the brunette jump a little.
Charlie frowned knowing that the tattooed man was probably getting ready to leave to deal with something with the club. She felt him carefully remove his arm from around her, sat up and ran a hand down his face waiting for the knock on the front door.
A few moments later, the knock came and Charlie watched as Happy got up from the couch and headed straight for the front door.
Letting out a sigh she heard Jax Teller's voice, and then her father's and heard foot steps walking into the house and sat up on the couch and covered her legs with the blanket since she didn't have pants on.
"Hey kid." Tig greeted his daughter and leaned down to kiss the top of her head, "We got to steal him for the night." Tig added and Charlie glanced to Happy who gave her a nod.
"Well try to not keep him out all night. He gets grumpy when he doesn't get sleep." Charlie stated as Jax walked forward with Juice and they both took turns kissing her cheek.
The three men remained silent as Happy disappeared to get dressed for the night out to handle whatever the club needed him to. She knew that she would ask questions later since that's how they worked as a couple, so she wasn't left in the dark all the time. There had been some times that Happy told her it was better for her to not know certain issues and she trusted him to go with it.
A few moments later, Happy returned with his boots on, his dark jeans and a black hoodie under his kutte and his knife under the kutte in it's holder, and knew that his gun was against his back and his riding glasses in his hands as he moved to her.
"I'll turn the alarm on as I leave." Happy leaned down to kiss her lips, "Try to get some sleep." Happy added and cupped her cheek for a moment.
"Please don't forget about tomorrow morning." Charlie stated lowly, "I really want you there for this."
"I won't forget." Happy promised, "Tomorrow it's your day." Happy added, which meant that he had the day off from work and they could do whatever she wanted.
"I love you." Charlie whispered and he leaned down to kiss her again, "Be careful."
"Always kid." Happy stated and pulled away from the brunette, hating that he had to leave her for the night and followed Tig, Jax and Juice out of the house, making sure to set the alarm before locking the front door.
A|N: It's a little short, but I wanted to get started on this story. I hope everyone had a great holiday! Also someone asked if this was based on a previous story I had up and to answer the question. NO. It is a completely different story with a completely different Charlie.
*I am hoping to have an update for the other two stories within the week.
