Chapter 48

The problem is women think he will change, he won't.
The mistake is men make is thinking she'll never leave, she will.

"Turn here." Olivia guided Happy to her work; they were meeting Reed there. From what Liv, had gotten from the very brief phone call with Reed, she was hurt and wanted out of her situation. Liv couldn't get to Reed fast enough, what if something happened to her when they were on their way there. "It's the next left." What if Liv couldn't save her.

Relief washed over Liv when she saw Reed sitting on the steps of the building. Liv jumped out of the car and quickly made her way to Reed. Even in the rain Liv could tell that she was pretty bad off. She had blood coming out of her mouth and she had a bruises and cuts across her face. When Reed stood up to walk towards her, Liv noticed she was limping.

"Liv." Reed managed to say hoarsely.

"Thank God!" Liv embraced her and then helped her walk to the car.

It was only when Reed was safely in the back seat of the car and they were driving away, Liv felt a sense of relief. She reached over hand took Happy's hand into hers and give it a gentle squeeze to say thank you. He gave her a nod of acknowledgement.

"Do you need a doctor?" Olivia turned in her seat and looked at Reed.

She shook her head. "No. No, doctors." Liv knew damn well that she needed to see a doctor but she also was aware that they would ask questions about what happened and she was sure that Reed was not ready to take the step to turn her boyfriend in. Getting away from him was a big enough step.

"Alright, but you need to be seen by someone with a medical background." Liv pulled out her phone.

Happy glanced over at Liv, "Don't." He knew Olivia was going to call Chibs but it was already too late, she had hit his number on her phone.

"Chibs? I'm sorry to bother you especially with it being as late as it is but can you meet us at Red Woody?" Liv asked.

"Is everything alright, lass?" Chibs' voice was laced thick with sleep. "You and Hap okay?"

"We're fine. I have a friend, who needs some medical attention that would be questioned if we go to the hospital. We on our way back from Stockton." Liv's voice oozed with need.

"Alright, darlin'. I'll meet ya there." There was movement on the other end of the phone. Liv could only assume that Chibs was getting out of bed, it was after all some god-awful hour in the morning.

"Thank you, Chibs. I owe you big time." Olivia was so thankful she had a family, who was willing to help on the drop of a dime. She really did hit the jack pot when they came into her life; even when she had her bad moments with them, she wouldn't have traded any of them for the world.

"Aye, you're right. You do."

Happy watched Liv standing in the doorway of the spare room, she leaned her head against the door frame. For the first time in hours, she looked relaxed. He was glad that she had some peace of mind even if he didn't. He didn't like the idea of having some stranger sleeping in his house but it if calmed Liv down, he would allow it for a few days until they could get her more permanent housing. This was not a permanent living situation for this girl. Happy could feel it in his bones that nothing good was going to come from this.

"Come to bed." Hap touched Liv's should gently. She turned and had a goofy but soft smile across her face. "What?" Happy asked, as he lead the way into their bedroom.

Liv closed the door gently behind her. "I was just thinking about us. How it all started." She wrapped her arms around Happy and inhaled deeply. Olivia was so grateful that Happy had opened his house to her. "I just hope that things don't progress between you and Reed like they did with us." She joked as she stepped back to change back into her pajamas. Happy grabbed Liv's arm and pulled her back to him, she let out a quick gasp when her body collided with his.

"Don't you ever think that." Happy's serious brown eyes searched Liv's. He knew that Liv had plenty of reasons to distrust him but that was before she had fought so hard for him, for them. That was something no one had ever done for him. The moment she told him she would be his old lady was the moment he vowed he would never fuck around on her again. "Besides, she is not really my type." Happy smirked.

"I thought tits, pussy and ass was your type." Liv teased as she pulled off her shirt. In her haste to leave the house earlier she hadn't put on a bra.

Happy growled as he again closed the space between them. "I only have one type now." He whole heartedly admitted to Liv. "And like I said, she is not my type." Happy pulled her flush with him and smashed his lips into Olivia's.

"Hap." Liv sighed breathlessly as she parted from him. "I don't know if this is such a good time."

"If your concerned about waking the girl, you shouldn't. One of those pills that Chibs gave her was a sleeping pill. She is going to be out for a while. Nothing is going to wake her up." Happy lifted Liv up and then tossed her on their bed. Olivia erupted in giggles; Hap couldn't get enough of Liv's laughter, it was like music to his ears.

"You're insatiable." Liv moaned as Happy took her nipple into his mouth and bit it gently. She moved her hands under his shirt. "You're a little over dressed."

Happy pulled away from Liv and pulled his shirt over his head, "Better?" He asked.

"No." Liv shook her head and raised an eyebrow in challenge. She wanted him naked.

Happy shook his head. "Now who's greedy?" He climbed off the bed and took off his pants and boxers.

Liv in turn peeled off her leggings and lounged against the pillows watching Happy strip down and then crawl back in bed. A lazy smile passed his lips as he laid down next her. Liv allowed her fingers to trace his snake tattoo and then to the smiley face tattoos. One of those faces was for her. Happy had that mark forever and she would never forget that he had killed for her. That was something Reed never had, instead she had someone who would ultimately kill her. The realization of that made Liv feel overwhelmingly in love with Happy.

"I love you, Happy Lowman." Liv kissed him as she straddled him.

"You want to show me how much you love me?" He asked as he bucked his hips against Liv's naked body on top of him.

Make him feel loved? Olivia crawled towards him and leaned her body over his intentionally as she grabbed the box of condoms. She reached her hand in the box and come out empty. She took the box and shook it over Happy. "Looks like were out of commission."

"So?" Happy tossed the empty box aside and pulled Liv to him. "What's the worst that could happen if we didn't use protection?"

"Um?! Do I need to state the obvious?" Liv stared blankly at Happy. Was he really that stupid?

"What do you not want to have a kid with me?" Happy asked. If he knocked up Liv, he was sure he could convince her to stay home with the kid and not work at the women's center anymore. So maybe he should try knocking her up. He didn't like that Liv was getting so close to these women and that one was now sleeping in his house.

"Are you serious?" Liv searched Happy's face for any sign of reluctances or lies. "Fuck, you're serious." She sighed. "Of course, I want to have your baby, Hap. I just thought we would be married before that was on the table." How could this being coming up? Happy had never mentioned having kids in the past and then suddenly, he wasn't worried about getting Liv pregnant. It made her wonder if he was up to something; Liv shook it off and shoved the suspicion away.

"When have we ever done this shit in order, Olivia?" Happy pulled her into a kiss, prying Olivia's lips open greedily, eliciting a moan from her. "Now show me how much you love me." He took Liv's hand and placed it on his hard cock.

"How are you still hard?" Liv asked, with all the seriousness that was just discussed, she assumed it was a mood killer. Sex had left her mind after Happy mentioned kids.

"Baby, have you looked at yourself lately?" Happy mused, a cocky smile crossed his face as he eyed Liv's naked body up and down.

Liv felt a flush of heat wash over her under Happy's gaze. After all their time, together he still had such an effect over her. She found that she still got butterflies when she thought about it him. Liv's lips crashed into Happy's as she climbed on top of him. She pulled away from him and straightened herself up and looked down at Happy. He had a grin on his face. Olivia loved the carefree Happy that she only got glimpses of from time to time.

"I love you, Happy." Liv exhaled as she lowered herself down onto him. She stifled a whimper as she slid herself up and down his shaft. Happy still stretched her to the max or what she thought was her maximum allowance. He felt so good inside of her, even if he occasionally caused her discomfort. The outcome was totally worth it. Happy grabbed onto Liv's hips and controlled her rhythm. He always needed to have power even if it was just a tiny bit. Waves of heat rolled over Liv's body, she closed her eyes and leaned back allowing Happy to take complete control of her.

"Not yet." Happy's voice was hoarse and thick with lust.

He could read Liv's body like no one else could. Oh, who was she kidding she had only willingly been with three guys and Happy had been by far the best lover, fucker, and boundary pusher of them. A whimper of need flowed out of Liv. "Hap." She whined.

"Hold on baby." Happy flipped so Liv was now under him. He needed to be able to take over, Liv was slipping fast and as soon as she came, she would be a useless but beautiful mess of sweat and hair.

Olivia began to pant as Happy pounded into her hard and fast. She felt herself hastily slipping into an intense orgasm. Liv dug her nails deeply into Happy's back and she held back a loud moan. She squeezed her eyes shut so tightly that as her ecstasy washed over her tears began to fall from them.

Happy followed with his own climax, letting out a loud groan as he came. "Fuck Liv, you really do love me." He smirked.

Every one of her nerve endings were on alert as Happy pulled himself out of her. Olivia bit down on her lower lip to keep from crying out. Sure, Reed had sleeping pills on board, but that was not a guarantee that she wouldn't wake up to their fucking. After everything she had been through Liv didn't need her to hear them.

"Of course, I do." She pulled herself into her customary post sex position in the crook of Happy's arm and draped her arm over him. She was far too tired to move, let alone get back into her pajamas. It was not long before sleep overtook Liv and Happy both. There in the nude with a stranger sleeping in the next room.

"You have to be fucking kidding me!" Liv growled, "I would expect this from my dad or Rat but not from you Quinn." She turned away and then quickly turned back and poked Quinn sharply in the chest. "She just got out of a fucking abusive relationship and she doesn't need you to fuck her up as well." Olivia turned to storm away but Quinn's large hand grabbed Liv by the bicep.

"Whoa Pipsqueak! You need to calm your shit down. I didn't do anything that wasn't instigated by the other party. And do you really think that I would fuck her over after everything she has been through?" Quinn glared. How could she think such thing of him? He had never treated Liv with anything but respect and here she was going all Mama Bear on him.

Olivia pulled her arm out of his hand and stood on her tip toes as she tried to make herself as tall as Quinn, that was impossible for Liv's small stature. "Listen, if you fuck her over Rane Quinn; I will have your fucking balls on my mantel."

Quinn raised his hands in defeat, "alright little lady." He couldn't help but smirked. No wonder Liv made such a good match with Happy. She was equally as surly as he was; she just hid it better than Hap did. "Listen Liv, I don't know where things will go with Reed but I promise while I am with her I will treat her better than the last douche bag she was with."

Liv's body went lax with relief even if she didn't lose her fire. "Fine. But I was serious about your balls. I will find the rustiest, dullest knife around too." Liv turned and as she stormed away she heard Quinn chuckle. He didn't believe her, but she was serious. She would never let Reed get hurt again on her watch. Reed had come to mean a lot to Liv in the month and a half that she had been staying with her and Happy.

Ugh, Olivia couldn't believe that she had caught Reed and Quinn having sex. Now she knew what her dad felt like when he had seen Happy having sex with her; at least Liv didn't get an eye full of Quinn's ass like her dad got with Happy. Still the whole situation was burned forever in her mind. Grr.

"Liv!" Happy grabbed her arm gently. "Did you hear one word I just said to you?" His face full of question.

"Huh?" Liv had been so lost in thought she didn't even know Happy had followed her out of the building.

"What did the doc say?" Happy nervously searched Liv's face.

Oh, shit in all the excitement of finding Quinn and Reed together mid-coitus, she had forgotten the whole reason she was at Red Woody verse heading home to meet Wendy for coffee. "Are you sure you want to know?" Liv asked. This could go one of two ways, either Happy would be ecstatic or he would be pissed.

"Olivia. You know I want to know. Fuck, if you would have let me come with to the doctors with you, I would have." Happy was on edge. It was just a simple yes or no answer. Why the fuck was Liv just stringing it along?

"Well, then you can come with to the next appointment in a week. They will be doing an ultrasound to find out when our very own progeny will enter this world." Liv smiled at the last part. If she calculated right, Happy had gotten her pregnant on his first try, the first night Reed had been at their house.

Happy ran his hands over his face and then his head. "Huh." He responded.

A hysterical laugh burst from Liv. That was certainly not the response she expected from Happy. "Huh?!" She echoed him. "Are you going into shock Happy?" Liv reached to check his pulse.

Hap frowned and shook his head. "No. I just thought you were going to say you weren't pregnant. You were so calm about it and seemed to have forgotten. When I saw, you storm out I figured you got news that you weren't pregnant."

"Would that have disappointed you?" Liv asked him. Happy still hadn't given her a gauge of how he was doing with the news.

"I don't know. I mean I guess we will never know because I knocked you up." Happy gently touched Liv's stomach.

That tender gesture made Liv melt and she didn't need to ask anymore. She knew Happy was glad she was pregnant. He had never been boisterous about things so why would this have been any different?

"You get to tell my dad." Olivia teased.

"Oh, fuck no!" Happy pulled Liv into his arms. "I love you, mama but that is your job."

"Thanks Hap." Liv smacked Happy's chest.

He watched the interaction of the fucking bitch and the bald guy; seemed like they were happy about something. That's fine he would make them pay for taking Reed from him. She belonged to him! She was HIS! Now if he could only find her, he would make her remember who she belonged to.

"Alright, well I need to go. I am meeting Wendy at our place for coffee. Can you make sure that Reed gets home?" Liv asked Happy.

"I'm sure Quinn will be more than willing to take care of her." Happy teased.

"Seriously. If I wasn't carrying your baby, I would have a nice stiff drink so I could forget that image." Liv rolled her eyes. "I will see you later." She kissed Happy.

She was on the move. He pulled his car out of the parking space and tailed her, like had all day. He had seen her with Reed at that fucking counseling center one day after Reed had left him. Fucking whore couldn't leave him, she was his! Since that day, he had waited. Today was the day. He would take back what was his and make them pay.

"Hey sorry I am late!" Liv hopped out of her car and met Wendy in her driveway. She sped all the way back to her place and was still late. "I had a little run in with Quinn and Reed."

"Wait?! What?" Wendy raised an eye brow. That meek little mouse and Rane? That was not one match that she saw coming.

"Um yeah, got a whole eye full!" Liv shook viciously her head trying to erase the image; unfortunately, her head was not an etch-a-sketch and the image remained. She opened the door to house and entered.

"No shit. That is a story I need to hear about." Wendy wanted all the juicy information. Lately it had just been PTA and school shit with the boys. This visit with Liv was the first time either of them had time carved out in their schedules to spend a bit of time together.

"Yeah. I don't even know…" Liv trailed off. "Can we change the subject before I lose my mind?"

Wendy laughed, "Of course! The boys send their love to their Auntie Liv."

Liv had missed the boys, they didn't live that far away and she hadn't seen them since she had brought Reed to Charming. "Um, what are they doing next weekend?" Liv asked. "I want to steal them for the day. The carnival is going to be in town and I want to take them. Or maybe the zoo." Liv was going to make Happy come along, he needed practice.

"Are you serious? You can totally take them, they will be thrilled." Wendy said as she noticed the front door open. Liv had her back to it so she didn't see it. "Say are you expecting someone?" Wendy asked. Maybe Olivia had invited Lyla.

"Um no, just you. Why?" Liv turned just in time to see a stocky brunette man enter her living room and charge towards them.

"WHERE IS SHE? WHERE THE FUCK IS SHE?" The man yelled, he was waving a gun around manically.

Liv's heart was pounding hard in her chest; she knew instantly who this man was. Reed's abusive boyfriend. She eyed the drawer with the knives and tried to judge the man's motions, she didn't know if she had enough time. Fuck it, she went for it and made it to the drawer as a loud pop filled the house. Liv ducked and turned just in time to see Wendy crumple to the floor. Olivia's scream filled the silence. Please don't let this happen. Please don't let this happen. The baby. Liv's hands went to her stomach where her unborn baby laid unfazed by the chaos outside of its womb.

"Where is Reed, you fucking whore?" The man growled.

Liv just shook her head, tears fell from her eyes as she watched Wendy bleeding on the floor. "Wendy?!" She whimpered as she crawled towards her.

That was not the answer he wanted.

Liv heard another loud pop and then it went black everything went black.
