The Quiet Things No One Ever Knows

Later that night.

Happy sat in front of Lillie surrounded by his friends. She was getting ready to tattoo him. Lillie gave him a bottle of tequila for fun. She knew he wouldn't need it for pain but gave it to him just to have. Lillie stood over him and kissed him deeply. *She bit his lip, he slid hands up her sides. He pulled her to him as the crowed whooped and clapped. Lillie pulled away licking her bottom lip as she did so. "Ready baby?" He kissed her once more and nodded. "Fuckin right I am! Hurry up, woman!" Lillie chuckled as she cleaned his neck and bent his head away from her.

The young woman pulled the light closer to see better. Lillie smiled at him and started the tattoo. She focused on the what she needed to do with out getting to intense. She was talking to Kozik about when Happy came to work with her. She told the group about raising the boys and tattooing. Happy relaxed listening to Lillie. He could listen to her for hours. Didn't matter what she was talking about he loved to listen to it. Her sweet voice soothed him. Happy rested his hand on her bare thigh an rubbed circles into her skin with his thumb. "Tell us a secret, peanut." A drunk Kozik demanded. The rest of the group agreed with him. Demanding a secret. Lillie raised an eyebrow at him smirking.

The freckled beauty pulled away from Happy. "I hate peas." She admitted looking around the group. "The fuck outta here, little girl, we want a real secret." Happy said after downing some tequila. Lillie nodded looking around the group. "Okay." She smiled at Happy who was totally eye fucking her right then. "Got my tits pierced." Happy's mouth fell open and he looked around the room. Lillie laughed "That a good enough secret?" Kozik shook his head. "That's a boring secret, half of us knew that already. Lillie started on the tattoo again and shook her head. Happy's hand slid up and down her thigh. "What type of secret do you want then?" Lillie asked as she scooted closer to Happy. "A good one." Lillie rolled her eyes. "He's worse than my kids." Happy smiled. "I'm just about done, baby." He licked his lips his eyes darting from her mouth to her eyes and back again.

"I am waiting." Kozik goaded. Lillie grumbled and looked over at the drunk blonde. She finished the tattoo and sat back. "All done, baby." She kissed him and started cleaning the tattoo guns. "Why don't you tell me what type of secret you want?" Lillie asked looking up at Happy who was checking out the tattoo. The font matched the L on his ring finger. "God damn, woman." Happy said with a smile. Lillie packed Happy's equipment up and stood. Happy leaned down and kissed the shit out of Lillie. "How many men have you been with?" Happy snapped up. "Enough." Lillie said standing closer to her man. "Ask me another." Happy handed her the tequila and she sipped it waiting for Kozik to come up with a question.

"I've got one to tell you!" Kozik said stumbling to her. Lillie leaned away from him into Happy. Her arm wrapped comfortably around her husbands waist. "Alright, tell me." Happy handed her a shot of tequila, which she downed. "I fucked your friend Tavi." Lillie grimaced. "One she not my friend. Two" She held up two fingers "Gross. Three" she put up a third finger. "Didn't you get the clap right around that time?" Lillie asked her question and Happy choked on his shot. He spluttered and began laughing. "fuckin' true. THAT IS SO FUCKIN' TRUE HOLY FUCK." Kozik stared dumbfounded. "I told you, Kozy. I warned you plenty of times." Lillie said letting Happy pick her up. "God, I love you so much Marcy Elizabeth Lowman." His wife smiled at him caressing his face. "You're turn." Happy whispered nipping her ear. She jerked back and looked at him as if he had sprouted two heads. "Right now?" Happy nodded and gave her a full dimpled smile. "What, don't trust me?" He pretended to be hurt. His gorgeous wife scoffed. "I wouldn't have given you the tequila if I'd known I was up next. Her husband guffawed. "One shot ain't dick." He said guiding her to the a table.

He smiled down at her as she patiently waited for him to make the next move. He loved that she followed his lead no matter what. Happy thought about the tattoo he was about to do and he was honestly excited about it. He helped his old lady on to the table and laid her down. "How are you going to do the whole tattoo with them, specially Kozik watching." Happy shook his head. "Don't worry your pretty little head about that." Happy handed her a big blanket. She guessed she was going to cover most of her body with while he tattooed her hip and thigh.

She unfolded the blanket and disappeared under it. Lillie wiggled out of her shorts and handed them to Happy. He stared at her waiting for something. She looked back at him confused til He leaned closer to her so that they were nose to nose. "Panties too." He whispered nipping her ear. God help her. She blushed a deep brick red and removed her undies. She didn't hand those over though, there was no fucking way. Happy laughed at how red his wife had become he folded the blanket long ways over her and started tattooing.

Lillie had hoped that the guys would lose interest and go do something else. But the idiots regrouped and came back around, standing behind Happy. James came over and sat by her head. "oh good its you, I thought you were Kozik for a second." James recoiled in mock disgust. "I'm way prettier than tha' fugly mug, Ma. How much Have ya had do drink? Geeze." Lillie laughed. "Stop moving woman." Happy growled.

"Where's Jude? I wanted to talk to you both about tomorrow." James leaned back in his chair nodding to Jude, who came sauntering over. Lillie rolled her eyes out of the twins Jude was the most vain and prideful. He was the most eager to leave the nest and start out on his own. "Ya?" Jude pulled up a chair and straddled it. "Gotta go up to Oakland tomorrow to tour the high school. I'd like to get there early to see what the school schedule is like and how they teach. I'm talking to the principal about a position opening up there. if I have time between the house and Declan, I might teach a photography class or art or something. While I'm talking to the principal; I wanted you guys to meet the coaches, talk to them see how you like them and have them show you around the teams." She looked over at her kids as the twins nodded thinking over what their mother had just said.

"I know you know this but I'm going to need you guys to keep your fists to yourselves for a while." Jude stood looking down at his mother. "Ya act like we fight all tha time or somethin'. Ya fight mo than we do, ma." He said heatedly. "Or somethin' is right Jude Andrew. I'm not tryin' ta fight ya, please, try an see where I'm comin' from." She pleaded with her youngest. Happy noticed her accent came out more when she talked to them, usually because they always had heated words between them. "What d'ya think Da? Sounds ta me like she's tryin' ta start somethin'." Happy looked up to see three sets of eyes on him. He shook his head going back to working on Lillie's tattoo. "Don't pull me into your shit, boy." Jude chuckled. Lillie looked over to see a smile playing on Happy's lips. "Ya commin' with us, da?" James asked leaning over the table toward his father.

Happy looked up again. Were they messing with him. He shot a look to Lillie. She was looking back at him with genuine curiosity. "Yea." The boys and Lillie smiled looking at each other. "Tell me a secret, Hap." Lillie said loudly getting everyone's attention. Happy shook his head. "Come on, baby. Please?" Lillie pouted "Quit distracin' me, woman." Happy smirked continuing to work on what was in front of him. "What was she like when ya first met?" James asked Happy as Juice got closer. "Fuckin' trouble." Kozik piped up. James looked at him and then to Juice. "She was. We went out one night for drinks and got us into a fight with dome fuckin' tweakers." Juice said eyeing Lillie. "I was defending my 'rican brother." Lillie defended. "She beat the fuckin' shit out of this guy for no reason!" Juice continued as if he hadn't heard her. "No reason my ass." Jude looked over at his mother. She was busy watching Happy, they were having their own little conversation.

"Jax, do you remember teaching her how to ride?" Opie asked looking over at Jax who, shook his head. "Worst god damn idea I ever had in my life. We're in the middle of nowhere on the Wahewa reservation and I'm trying to teach you mom how to ride my bike. We were going at it for hours and she was just not getting it. I fucking lost it. Blew my stack and start freaking out on her. Why can't you do this? What's so fuckin hard about riding a god damn bike? So she gets pissed and gets all bitchy. Then she looks at me and gives me this smile that she gave tara earlier this Cheshire cat smile. Your mom revs the bike up and fukin just takes off leaving me in the middle of nowhere."

Opie drank his beer nodding along with Jax's tale. "So she shows up at my house on the bike. Looking like a god damn mad woman. So, I ask her where Jax is right? She won't give me an answer, finally she tells me, "I left him on the Wahewa land. Mind you she's what fourteen or fifteen? If that. I ask her about it and she tells me all that happened. She goes, I was just messing with him at first but then he started really pissing me off, next thing I know I'm in Charming on my way to your house." He started laughing and Jax glared. "She gives me this look right, you mom goes, "I fucking forgot where I left him." Opie slapped the bar and leaned into it. He was laughing to hard to keep himself upright

"I walked almost eight miles to get to the main road. When I get there there's these two assholes arguing. You mom looked up at me squinting at me and says. "I don't remember leaving you here." I swear I thought I was going to punch her. Opie is laughing because she had been stealing my bike for weeks and had been teaching herself how to ride it." James and Jude looked at Opie and then to Jax.

"She was a complete asshole." Happy didn't even look up when he spoke. Lillie glared at him. "I was supposed to be protecting her at college, the first day we met I knocked her over by accident and she pulled a gun on me." James stared open mouthed at his mother. Lillie rolled her eyes. "He's leaving out the part where, I didn't know who he was and he followed me all around campus." Happy chuckled

"It was past a couple of buildings." Lillie laid her hand on his and smiled. "Here, I am, three months into my freshmen year walking home and this tattooed giant comes out of nowhere, looking mean as fuck and barreled me over knocking my books all over making me bleed." Happy scoffed rolling his shoulders back. "You fell in love right there." Happy said smugly. Lillie shrugged "Ya got me." Happy nodded."That I do, babe. God damn you, woman." Happy leaned over her kissing her roughly. Lillie smiled through the kiss. "I love you baby." He sat back down "uh huh. Pain in my ass." She grinned. "From the womb to the tomb, babe." He huffed focusing on tattooing around them groaned sickened by the couples lovey dovey display.

"What was your first piercing?" Kozik asked Lillie. It was a little bit more than two hours later and Happy was giving her a slight break while he went to smoke. Kozik passed her the joint he had been smoking. "Mamma, had my ears done when I was a babe. But, I got my tits pierced as soon as I got to college." He nodded taking the joint back. Lillie sat up, her hair falling over her shoulders. Opie came over to look at the progress of the tattoo. "Hows it going Ope?" He smiled and shrugged."Its going, waiting for Don to get here." As if she had been summoned Donna appeared at his elbow. "Hey trouble." Donna said kissing Lillie on the cheek. "How ya doing lady?" Donna shrugged "Can't complain." Lillie nodded looking around for her man and her boys.

"Sorry I didn't visit you much when you were in the hospital. It was just a bit to much for me." Lillie looked back at her best friend seeing a tear slide down her cheek. "Donna, no. Please don't cry. Its okay really." Donna shook her head looking up at the redhead on the table in front of her. "It's really not, Lil. We, I almost lost you. Don't you get that? You had open heart surgery. The doctors didn't think you were even going to make it and here you are, smoking and drinking like nothing fucking happened. Its not okay. You can't run from your problems like that. Its fucked up." Donna went on heatedly getting louder with each sentence. Lillie sat back a bit completely blown away.

"If you're going to continue on like this I don't want you to be the god mother to my kids. I won't put them through that. Get your fucking shit together, Marcy." Lillie felt sick, being called out like that by her best friend. She was right of course. "Do you understand me? Don't do it anymore, you hear me?" Donna said using her mom voice on Lillie. Lillie hopped off the table and hugged the brunette. "Never again. I promise. I pinky promise." She extended her pinky to Donna who accepted it and hooked her little finger around Lillie's. "Ass on that table woman." Happy said startling Lillie. She hurried back to the table and got ready for the last leg of the journey, so to speak.

Happy looked up as he finished Lillie's tattoo everyone had gone to bed. Leaving just Lillie and him in the room. Happy cleaned his equipment putting everything back where it was supposed to go. Happy put his stuff back into his room and went back out to get Lillie who had nodded off. He tapped her up and put his wife to bed. Happy showered quickly and pulled on clean boxers. He slid beside the small woman. "I love you baby, thank you." He heard her whisper Happy pulled her closer and kissed the top of her head.

I got up with a mother fucking pounding headache. Where the fuck was that god damn alarm? Lillie snarled smacking wildly around for it. "Hit me one more time and I'm beating your ass." Happy groaned covering his head with the sheets. Lillie got out of the bed. Happy heard her gasp. "HAPPY LOWMAN." He walked through the door way seeing his completely naked wife looking at her new tattoo. "This is fucking amazing. She looked over the tattoo. the crow perched on half a skull half because the back of the skull was blown out in the back nest was tucked in the open space of the skull. It two eggs one egg had Andrew on it the other had Ian in it and a smiley face. Outside of the skull was a bouquet of Lilly's with a ribbon wrapped around them. On the ribbon it said Lowman and forever on it. Lillie gaped at the tattoo transfixed. "Baby, what the fuck? This is so amazing." Lillie said looking at his reflection in the mirror. Happy smiled pulling her to him. Her hands linked behind his neck making him bend to her. Happy held her face in his hands before anything else happened Lillie's phone went off. She grimaced pulling away from her old man.

Happy watched his wife answer the phone and check the clock in the corner of the room. She swore. "Yeah okay I'll be out in a second, lemme get a shower real quick." Happy turned the shower on and got in waiting for his wife. She appeared moments later. Happy handed her shampoo to her and then her conditioner. "Who was on the phone." Happy asked soaping his chest up. "Dog." Before Happy could inquire why Dog was calling her. Lillie hopped out of of the shower quickly drying herself off. She quickly got dressed in black satin tailored pants that ended just above her ankles. The pants hugged her legs in all the right places almost looking like they were painted on. She slipped on four inch black pumps. Lillie stumbled around pulling on a low back ivory chiffon tank top and a fitted black leather jacket. She quickly braided her hair back and threw on some make up making sure that her winged eyeliner was perfect before adding red lipstick. "I'll meet you out on the lot, okay?" Lillie called to Happy as she grabbed her bag and phone heading out of the room.

The twins were already waiting for her out on the lot. Something had everyone gathered near the office. Lillie made her way to the group and smiled seeing her blacked out Cadillac EXT with its three inch lift. She fucking loved that truck, she was proud of that truck. She had got it for when she wouldn't be able to ride anymore. Lillie smiled to Dog who handed her the keys. "How did I fucking know." Tigg said shaking his head as Lillie approached the group. "what is a small thing like you driving a monster like that?" He joked as she walked up and unlocked the truck. "I like my toys big and fast Tiggy." Tigg snorted watching as the gorgeous little thing in front of him open the door and climbed up into the truck. "Wait til your old man see this." He said climbing into the truck to look around. "Listen to this." Lillie said getting ready to press the horn. She laid on the horn and everyone on the lot jumped. She had put in a train horn. Lillie and Tigg howled as a couple people flipped them off.

Happy had just walked out of the club house as a train horn sounded scaring the fucking shit outta him. He rounded the corner to see a blacked out monstrosity. He groaned seeing the love of his life sitting on the drivers side. He shook his head as music stared blaring from the truck. "Baby, come on we're going to be late!" Lillie called impatiently. Happy shook his head. Lillie started her baby and stared defiantly down at her husband. "You're making us late, slowpoke." Happy glowered but climbed up and got in on the passenger side and put on her seat belt. James leaned forward and turned up the radio as they pulled off the lot. The bass rumbled through out the truck as the song started. Move Bitch by Lil Jon and Three 6 Mafia, Eastside boyz and Youngbloodz came on. As they got on the highway Lillie sped up and mouthed the words to the rap. She smiled looking over at Happy who wasn't looking to happy. "I'm driving back." Happy said as Lillie parked. He got out and helped Lillie out of the truck.

When they got into the building Lillie introduced herself to the secretary an waited for the principal to come out. Happy looked at his sons who were leaning against the wall looking positively bored. When the principal came out Lillie introduced him to her family. "It is a pleasure to meet all of you. Let's get this tour started shall we?" Lillie stood by her husband. They walked through the school meeting teachers. Seeing where the boys would have their classes and all that jazz. At the end of the tour Lillie left Happy and the boys in the office to talk to the principal about the job. "What do you think?" Happy asked the boys.

James shrugged "Its a school. The football team looks nice. So does the rugby team. That's all I really care about." James admitted. Happy looked over to Jude who was checking out a blonde who had just walked into the office. The girl eyes the boy carefully and smiled back. Jude left the group to talk to her. "He's hooked." James said watching his twin. Happy smiled shaking his head.

"It was very nice to meet you. We hope to hear from you soon." The principal said walking Lillie out of his office. Lillie nodded extending her hand to him. She tucked the folder she was carrying into her bag and walked to her husband gaining a lot of attention from a group of males, who had just walked in the office. "God damn." One of the students said his eyes never leaving Lillie's ass. Lillie reached Happy and took his hand leading him out of the school. Lillie hopped into the truck beside Happy and smiled. She looked back at the twins. "What do you think, babe?" Happy shrugged starting the truck. "Seems good to me." Lillie nodded in agreement. "Boys?" The twins nodded. "So Bishop O'Dowd it is then." She sighed and took off her jacket and kicked off her heels.

She closed her eyes relaxing back into her seat. "What's next?" Happy asked. "Well, do you want to look at a place for us or do you want us to stay at the club hose til you get out?" Lillie asked her eyes closed her hand over her eyes. "What do you want?" He asked his wife. who shook her head. "I asked you first but I think we should just go back I don't feel good." Lillie said sliding out of her pants and curling up into a ball. "Jude, drive. Move James." Happy said getting out of the truck.

Lillie slid out of the seat and into Happy's arms. She looked grey and dull. When was the last time she ate? He thought about that while getting in the back seat with Lillie. Once they were situated, Lillie was curled up into a ball in Happy's lap. Happy rubbed her back looking down on her from time to time checking on her. "Baby girl, when was the last time you ate?" He asked softly. Lillie shook her head and mumbled something into his chest. They had been on the road for fifteen minutes and Lillie shot up. "Pull over." She gasped. Jude pulled off to the shoulder of the road. Lillie flung the door open and jumped out.

She started puking like she was a bottle of coke and someone had just dumped a whole mentos into. "Fuck." Lillie cried softly her empty stomach churning. Lillie leaned against the tree beside her. A wave of nausea over took her and she started puking again. This time it came up through her nose. Happy got out of the truck and followed the sounds of retching to his wife. "If you would eat more this wouldn't happen." Happy said in an I told you so kind of voice. "Not now, Hap." Lillie said shaking her head bracing herself on the tree. She puked some more shuddering as she did so. Once she was done Happy handed her water for her to wash her mouth out. She accepted it gratefully. "I do eat, by the way." Lillie said snidely. Walking back to the truck with Happy. Happy took his shirt off and handed it to her she took off her shirt and put his on. At least his would cover her up more.

"Get your ass in the car little girl, we have to get back." Happy said getting back in the truck. I followed crawling over him to the other seat. I rolled the window down hoping the fresh air would make me feel better. I tucked my feet under me. The ride back was quiet and uneventful. Jude parked the truck and hopped out of the truck emptying my stomach. "Baby girl?" Tigg came over seeing his god daughter doubled over. "That's the second time in an hour." James said worriedly looking over at Tig. "She just needs to rest." Happy said coming over. They watched Lillie straighten up and hurry into the club house. Kozik whistled at Lillie, who in turn told him to fuck his mother and the couch he was born on before flinging the doors open and disappearing through them.

Clay soon called everyone into Church. Happy sat down at the end of the table looking around at his brothers. "So, I think and I think everyone would agree with me on this, it would be better if James and Jude prospected after we get out." Everyone nodded in agreement. He put it to a vote and it was unanimous. They would have to wait. "Good luck telling them that, Hap." Kozik said Looking over at his brother. "Those boys are like fucking pitbulls man. Once they latch on to something they don't fucking let go. Jesus. Heard they went to see Quinn while Lillie was in the hospital." He shook his head remembering what he had been told.

Kozik was the fucking queen of the gossip mill in all the charters he knew everyone's business whether they liked it or not. Quinn was in enough trouble with the club for bailing. It hadn't been confirmed but it was rumored that the twins had worked him over pretty well. "It wasn't nor has it yet been confirmed. Keep your fucking mouth shut." Happy said tapping out his cigarette. Kozik shrugged not perturbed by Happy's rudeness. They talked about the Irish and Declan coming stateside. Clay appointed Chibbs to watch over Lillie while she worked with Declan. Clay banged the gavel and everyone filed out going their separate ways.

Happy went back to his dorm to check on Lillie. He unlocked the door and heard the shower. He also heard someone getting sick. Probably picked up the flu from the hospital Happy thought. The puking stopped and was replaced by the sound a faucet. he guessed Lillie was brushing her teeth or something. When the shower kept running he knew she had got back in the shower. He stripped his clothes off and joined her. "Hey boo." She said hoarsely. Her throat raw from puking all day. She leaned against Happy enjoying the silence. "How do you feel?" He asked running his hands up and down her sides. "Much better now. I think its just a bug." His hands cupped her breasts rolling the ring that was attached to her nipples around. She hummed enjoying the attention. "Like that?" Happy asked quietly Kissing her neck. She nodded "Mhmm". Happy turned her around and stared down at his gorgeous woman. She started stroking him. Happy's eyes darkened as he hardened up. "damn Hap. Fuck me." She turned around looking over her shoulder. Happy felt how wet she was and slid right in. She moaned clutching the wall. He slammed into her causing her to cry out loudly. He pulled her closer keeping a steady pace causing her to get louder. "Jesus Lillie." Happy groaned. She moaned his name bracing her self on the shower wall. She was getting close. Happy pulled her hair, and bit her neck sending her over the edge. She darted out of the shower and started puking again.

THE NEXT DAY

I sat on the picnic table with My boys. I saw Happy pull up and smiled, he had been gone all day for club business. He parked and come over to us. Holding me to him. I rubbed his back and leaned into him. "How are you feeling baby?" He asked lighting a cigarette. I shrugged "Only threw up once today." James huffed. "She threw up for a half hour." Lillie looked behind her to her sons. "Was he talking to you?" James glared back at his mother. "I'm fine now, why don't you go work in the garage or bother someone else?" Lillie snapped. Her hands on her hips. She looked to her men and sighed. "I am just really hungry, okay. I'm sorry." James kissed her temple. "Talk to me like that again and I'm going taking your butt to the ring." Lillie leaned back against Happy wrapping his arms around her. "Anytime, any day baby boy. Just let me know." Lillie said looking up at Happy chuckled and bent down to kiss her lips. Just then Jax came speeding through the lot and parked. As soon as a he parked a couple undercover cars pulled up on to the lot along with a van.

"What the fuck?" Lillie looked up to Happy as he held her little tighter. "Go inside." Lillie called to her boys. They looked from Lillie to their uncle. but decided to stand with by their mother and father. June Stahl Some thin bitch with a stick up her ass got out of the lead car and made her way to to the group that had gathered around Jax. Jax stood behind Lillie and Happy. In between Clay and Gemma. Lillie looked to her mother, who had this panicked looked on her face looking from the Stahl to Jax.

Clay approached Agent Stahl "Good afternoon." He said " Where's Jimmy O?" Stahl glared looking from face to face eventually stopping on Lillie and her boys. Happy pushed them behind him and snarled at the agent. "Who?" Clay asked the woman. "Look, I can have a dozen agents here in 20 minutes and they'll shred this white trash shit hole." Lillie looked out from behind Happy watching the woman. What in the actual fuck was this bitch's problem? Lillie stared from her father to the stuck up bitch. She held Happy's hand tighter watching the woman prowl through the group.

"Hap" I whispered. "Who is that woman?" His hand looked to me squeezing my hand "ATF bitch." He said simply watching Daddy and the "AFT bitch". After a while, Clay nodded to Juice and Chibbs. Telling them to get Jimmy from the garage.

They opened one of the garage doors and out stumbled Jimmy O. The ATF goons had followed Chibbs and Juice to the garage. "Let's go." one of the goons said to Jimmy as they hauled him to one of the cars. He was smiling looking pleased with himself. "Thank goodness for the justice system." He smiled widely looking at everybody as the ATF bitch told him what he was being taken in for.

"Pleasure, lads." His eyes fell to me and winked, "Sorry things didn't work out the way you planned, boys." He said pointedly. His eyes lingered on me before getting into the car. He was happier than a pig in shit. "What's going on Hap? I asked wrapping my arm around Happy's waist. His hand on my hip flexed and he looked down on me concern etched deeply on his face. "I don't know baby girl." I rested my head against his side anxiety taking over me. I looked to my boys, they looked how I felt. They stood closer to me as we watched the ATF bitch.

Daddy glowered his hands balled into giant fists. "How'd you know he was here?" He growled Stahl gave him a dazzling smile and looked pointedly at Jax. My heart stopped. I clutched Happy's shirt in my hands. Why is she looking at Jax like that? I started feeling like I was going to puke again. I swayed and Happy caught hold of me. I held him tightly looking around at everyone. They all had the same foreboding look on their faces. "Hap?" I choked looking up to him. He didn't look at me his eyes were fixed on Jax.

"Because your VP made a deal." She beamed at us. I thought I was going to faint. Ciaos ensued. There was no fucking way right? Jax lunged at the agent "You son of a bitch." I looked around to Jax his eyes met mine. " What? What is she talking about?" I was shaking. Happy must have felt it and looked down on me. "You made a deal for Jimmy?" Daddy demanded trying to get at Jax. " I did it for the club." Jax said trying to get him to understand. He stepped to me looking at me pleading. I stepped back into Happy shaking my head. No. Not Jax. This wasn't Jax. No. He got closer to me. i threw ny arms some him and huffed him tightly.

My ears were ringing. This has to be a god damn dream. A fucking terrible god damn dream. Everyone turned on him; mamma and i were trying to protect Jax from daddy. Who was being held back by some aft goons. I watched as the goons cuffed Daddy. He screamed at Jax. Something like he was dead, he was going to kill him. I turned to see Happy being carted I was so caught up in Daddy and Jax I never heard them fight with Happy. He was struggling the most, cursing out the agents. I ran to him shoving the goons out of my way. "I fucking love you, husband." I said between kisses. I ran my hands up his chest. To behind his neck, Happy kissed me back passionately.

"Love you more, wife. Be good." We kissed one last time before being pulled apart. "Back at you, Brat."I felt someone grabbing me and started to struggle, trying to get out of the arms of the goons. I has lifted off the ground and was being carried away. I kick my feet in an attempt to get them to stop and put me down. I was wiggling around trying to get away from them. The my men in the van stared yelling and screaming for the officers to let their pig hands off me.

Later That Day

I was at Mamma's house with the boys, Mamma and I had been crying fearing for Jax's life while he was in Chino. I was worried about my brother and my family. I hoped whatever they did to Jax it would be quick and painless.

Lillie cuddled closer to her mother, resting her head on her mothers chest. "What are we going to do, mamma?" Lillie asked quietly looking up at her mother. Gemma looked at her youngest child, "I don't know, baby." She said looking up at the ceiling. There was a knock on the door. We looked to see who was knocking, it was Filthy Phil. "I have something for you from Jax." I raised my eyebrows looking at Mamma. "What is it?" Phil shook his head and handed over the letter. "I have this is for you." He handed me a folded up piece of paper. What in the fuck. I opened the paper up. Seeing just a a few words in Happy's messy scrawl. All it sad was, "Don't be mad at me." I stared at the note.

"What does your letter say?" I leaned over to read it but mamma turned away from me still reading. I waited til she was done and tried again. We swapped letters. I before I even began reading Mamma started laughing. She was laughing at the novel Hap and sent to me. After Reading Jax's letter to our mother I scanned it a couple more times. "Are you kidding?" Mamma laughed some more smiling. She looked so relieved and honestly it was clear as to why. Jax had explained in his letter that it was all a set up. They were fucking with Stahl. I sighed and took back the note from Happy.

lillie sat on the table waiting for her doctor to come into the room. it was her post operation check up. the bkys were busy at the garage she had kozik drive her to the appointment because she hadn't been cleared by her doctor to drive. she sighed ad she scrolled through her phone. she didn't understand why she came in on time if the doctor was going to make her wait twenty-five minutes.

she looked up as the door opened and her doctor came in.

"Mrs . Lowman, sorry to keep you waiting. we've been backed up today. im doctor Gardner. how are you?" the man said as he walked past hrr to the sink and started washing his hands. she pursed her lips and arched an eyebrow at him. "well, doctor Gardner, not to be rude I understand certain things are out of your control; but it would be nice to know beforehand how long I'm going to wait. I've been... she paused and looked around trying to control the nausea that bubbled up out of no where. "better." she replied as she crossed leg over her knee and folded her hands in her lap. dr. Gardner raised his eyebrows at her pause as he sat down and watched her intently. she took a deep breath hoping it would ease the urge to puke. "how have you been feeling?" the man asked. she held her hand up and looked away from hi. as she turned her head. she shot to her feet and bolted to the sink. she retched then heaved the contents of her stomach. when she was finished she groaned, and grabbed a paper towel before wiping her mouth off. she then turned dthe faucet on and cupped her hands underneath it

she washed her mouth out then spat.

how long has that been going on dr. Gardner asked as she leaned back against the wall, facing him. she frowned amd sighed. "well its been off and on since I got out of the hospital. "

why didn't you call for an earlier appointment? he asked sounding frustrated. well I figured it was just stress from my personal life. like I said its not a constant thing once or twice every other day if that." the man stared at her unphased. she set her hands on her hips and cocked her head to the side waiting for him to speak. it could be a number of things. stress like you said a reaction to your medicine

how have you been feeling otherwise? he asked she shrugged and looked around well drained. I'm always tired. my appetite the man nodded and scribbled something down on the paper in front of him.

"is it possible that you're pregnant?" he asked. lillie snorted and shook her head. "no not a chance I'm on birth control. have been for sixteen years." her doctor nodded and looked up at her. what birth control have you been using?" he asked.

"its like the nuvaring but its different." his eyebrows shot up past his hairline and he sat up straighter. "you know it's not safe for you to use nuvaring while on your heart medication." he stated. "see its not nuvaring."

I'm going to look it up but

well let's get you a blood test just to be sure.

well lilli. you're test came back positive

later that week lillie the boys gemma and Kozik went to the prison to see the club. she hadn't told Happy that he was pregnant. she hadnt told anyone she was pregnant.

she sat and waited for her man to come out. she grinned as the doors opened and he strolled out. his dark eyes

she stood as they landed on her. she hugged him ignoring the guard who yelled at her not to. they sat back down and she pulled the envelope that had her sonogram pictures in it from her back pocket. I have something for you. she stated and slid the envelope across the table to him. not allowed giving me dirty pictures. he stated taking the envelope from her. the pretty red head snorted and grinned. hate to burst your bubble bug guy but it not dirty pictures. she watched as he opened it and took out the pictures. he studied it for a moment then looked back up at her confused. so uh she bit her lip so you know how I've been sick lately? she asked. her man nodded and sat forward watching her intently. I went to the doctors and it turns out. I'm uh. she looked away then back to him I'm uh I'm pregnant. it's yours. " she said as she twisted the ring on her thumb around. happy stared at her for a while his face was unreadable. she bit the inside of her cheek and looked away then back to him uncertain how he was going to react. apparently the birth control i was on is defective? my doctor said that
