AN: Coramaria98: Thank you! For the compliment! Guest: Thanks! Silvergoldfox, Foreverkee & meyou744: Chibs ? Happy? We'll just have to see what happens!

The nurse pushed her wheel chair down the hall to the doors leading outside. Maddie wasn't thrilled about being on bed rest for the next two weeks, but she'd do it if it meant keeping Sophia Joy healthy. She was on strict bed resr, only up to use the bathroom and shower. She was going to have to have someone in and take care of her. That's the part she hated the most being dependent on someone.

They reached the doors and Gemma was waiting to take her home. "How are you baby,"

"I'm fine. Just tired, I want to sleep in my own bed. I need a favor."

"Anything baby."

"I'm on complete bed rest for the next two weeks. I need someone to cook and clean for me. Do you know anyone that needs a job?"

"I think it's handled baby."

"Who took care of it?"

"Hap."

She was quiet on the ride home thinking about how nice it was not to have to worry about this detail. She needed to still get clothes for the baby, she didn't have anything yet, she'd have to make a list and send someone to get some basics.

Maddie leaned back in the seat, laying her head back. She was trying to sort through her feelings. She was in love with Happy, she was carrying his child, but he seemed so distance. She loved Chibs too but not in the same way she loved Happy. Her love for Chibs was friendship, she cared for him deeply. He made her feel...she couldn't explain how he made her feel. When he looked at her, she felt like she mattered. That's what had her all twisted up inside, she didn't get that from Happy. Shouldn't she get that feeling from him, if he loved her?

She was pulled from her thoughts when Gemma pulled into her drive. She turned to smile at the women that had been like a second mom to her. "Thanks Gem."

"What's going on in that had of yours?"

"Nothing."

"Baby, I can read you like a book. I can see something has you twisted up. Remember the doc said no stress."

"I'm fine, I'll work through it." The door opened, Happy walked out of the house, opening her door. He lifted her out of the vehicle carrying her into the house. She let out a little squeal, and wrapped her arms around his neck.

He carefully laid her on the couch, he kissed her lips before straightening up, and walking back outside. He came back in carrying her bag, sitting it down on the floor, he came over to the couch. Lifting her legs up, he sat down, putting her feet in his lap.

"How are you feeling?" He was massing her slightly swollen feet and ankles. She let out a moan of satisfaction.

"I'm just tired. That feels really good Hap!"

"You're feet and ankles are swollen."

"I'm sixth months pregnant, everything is swollen. My feet, ankles, hands, face, ass.."

"You look beautiful, you're growing our child." He moved his hand to her stomach, Sophia started to kick and punch. She watched his face break into a smile, he leaned over kissing her stomach. Maddie reached out cupping his face, he looked up at her. "I love you Maddie!"

"I love you too." She looked into his dark eyes, she loved him enough to let go of the hurt. He was the one she was suppose to be with, She could she it in his eyes, that he cared about her and their baby. She felt guilty for her earlier thought of Chibs, looking into Hap's eyes she could see that she mattered to him. She kept hearing Chibs words repeating in her head, when she was in the hospital. That he'd take care of her, if Happy wouldn't. She closed her eyes trying to push all of it out of her head,

"What's going on in your head?"

"Nothing."

"Maddie, don't lie to me, the doctor said no stress."

"I'm just tired, I'm going to go take a nap." She pushed herself up off the couch and headed towards her room. She sat on the edge of the bed, slowly taking her clothes off, she pulled out an over sized t-shirt and climbed into bed. She was dozing off when she felt the bed shift, she opened her eyes, Happy was climbing into bed with her. He pulled her close to him, wrapping his arms around her expanding waist.

His face was buried in her neck, she relaxed against him, letting her arms cover his. This is the way it's suppose to be, napping with the father of her child, feeling safe in his arms.

"What the hell do you want?" She heard him laugh as he shook her awake.

"I made you something to eat, grouchy." She rolled away from him, trying to ignore him and fall back to sleep. "Come on baby, you need to eat."

"Bite me Lowman!" His laugh was louder, which aggravated her even more, she flipped the blankets off and sat up, glaring at him. He placed a tray on her lap with her lunch on it, he smiled at her brushing the hair from her face. Her aggravation melted away, once she saw what was on the tray. He'd made a grilled chicken salad for her, a glass of sweet tea, and a bowel of fruit. She smiled up at him. "Thanks Hap."

"You are sexy as hell, when you're pissed!" He leaned down to kiss her, sliding his tongue along her lips. She let out a little moan, as his hands enywined in her hair. He broke off the kiss smiling at her. "Eat your lunch." He walked out of the room, whistling as he left.

She finished her lunch, she was in the process of getting up and carrying her tray back to the kitchen when the door opened and her brother walked in. "What in the hell do you think you're doing Madison Claire?"

"Taking my tray back to the kitchen."

"I believe you're on complete bed rest for the next two weeks." She got back in bed, propping herself up on some pillows. "You have to take care of my little niece."

"I'm trying." She looked at her brother, smiling up at him. "Heard from dad?"

"Yeah, I called him and told him about you and the baby. He was worried, said for you to keep your stubborn ass in bed or he'd come down and take care of you."

She let out a laugh. "Dad is such a good caregiver. Remember when we had chicken pox, and he taped oven mitts to our hands, so we wouldn't scratch."

Her brother let out a laugh. 'Is Hap treating you right sis? Because if he isn't just say the word and I'll beat his ass!"

"He's treating me fine big brother, settle down." He kissed her forehead, picking up the tray he left the room. She wasn't about to tell him what got her upset and sent to the hospital in the first place. She didn't want her brother and Happy going at it in the ring. She turned on the TV and looked for a movie to watch, she settled for a chick flick, she got comfortable, falling asleep twenty minutes after the movie started.

She woke up, looking at her phone it was two in the afternoon. She crawled from the bed, making her way to the livingroom, Happy was asleep on the couch, she leaned down kissing him. His eyes snapped open, his arms went around her, he pulled her to his chest. His tongue slipped into her mouth, teasing her, she let out a moan.

He broke off the kiss. "You should be in bed."

"I thought I'd come out here and sit for a while, I need a change of view." He sat up pulling her down on the couch, between his legs with her back resting against him, he wrapped his arms around her.

"What do you need still need for Sophia?"

"A carseat, clothes, diapers, wipes, a diaper bag."

"Make a list, I'll have a prospect go shopping."

She let out a laugh. "Thanks, but no thanks. If I can't go, I'll have Gem, Tara, and Lyla go, no offense but there's no way I'm letting a man go baby shopping."

"What's that suppose to mean?" He sounded a little hurt.

"I can't see a prospect going in and buying girly foo foo dresses, and shit." She heard him laugh in her ear, his hands were on her stomach as Sophia started to kick and move. "She likes the sound of your laugh." She placed her hands on top of his, interlacing her fingers.

He watched her sleep that night, the moonlight shining in through the bedroom, she looked so beautiful. He was thankful that she had a forgiving heart, that she had given him another chance. She could have easily told him where to go when he came begging her forgiveness in her hospital room,. He slipped into bed next to her, putting an arm around her waist. He was going to do everything in his power not to hurt her ever again, he was going to be a good man to her and their baby.

His phone ringing woke him up, rolling over, he grabbed it from the night stand. "What? Shit! Someone needs to be here with Maddie. All right!" He ended the call and eased himself from the bed.

"Club business?"

"Sorry babe, didn't mean to wake you. Jax is sending someone to stay with you.

"I'll be fine, there's no need." He leaned down to kiss her.

"Stay in bed, no getting up unless necessary."

"Okay. I know." She rolled to her side, trying to go back to sleep. She was just dozing off, when the doorbell rang. Mother of Christ! She didn't recognize, the voice that came in, she was trying to go back to sleep. Happy came back into the room, he squatted down on her side of the bed, brushing her hair back.

"Babe, Bernie is going to stay with you, he's a new prospect. He'll be in the livingroom if you need anything."

"Ummmhmmmm." He kissed her nose before leaving the room.

She felt hands sliding up her tank, she moaned in her sleep, the blankets were moved away. She felt him lay down beside her, his hands were on her body, his lips closed over her hardened nipple. She opened her eyes, letting out a scream, she tried to push the man off of her. He was pulling at her clothes smiling down at her, with lust in her eyes. he got up from the bed to take off his clothes, she grabbed his gun off the night stand and shot him in the stomach, watching him fall to the floor.

She grabbed her cell phone, running into the bathroom she called Gemma to come help her, she knew Happy was busy doing club business. She sat in the bathroom shivering waiting for someone to come help her, she heard the roar of motorcycles come tearing down the street. She stayed huddled in the corner of the bathroom, with the gun clutched in her hand.

They had just finished with church, when Gemma came bursting through the chapel doors. The guys knew she wouldn't have came in unless something was majorly wrong, she looked at Happy.

"Maddie, just called me. The prospect tried to...she needs some help!"

They ran to their bikes heading towards Maddie's house, Gemma follwed them in her SUV. Happy ran inside, he was hit with panic at the trail of blood coming down the hall, leading outside. He followed the trail of blood to the bedroom, while his brothers followed it outside. He found the bedroom empty, he listened, he could hear her in the bathroom, crying.

He tried to open the door, but it was locked, knocking on the door. "Maddie, baby...open up." The door slowly opened, he rushed in, pulling her into his arms, he held her tight. "What happened?"

"I was sleeping...I thought it was you. I opened my eyes...and he was touching me!"

"I'll kill him!" Happy growled.

"I shot him Hap..."

He picked her up, carrying her to the bed, laying her down. "I'm sorry baby, I so damn sorry...did he hurt you or the baby?"

"No, I was just scared." He leaned down to kiss her, she looked up to see her brother standing at the door. "I'm fine Ope!"

"I need to go talk to everyone. Will you be okay?"

"I'll be fine,"

Gemma came into the room to clean up the mess that was left behind, she looked up at Maddie. "You okay baby?"

"I'm fine. Just a little shaken. Thank you."

"Get some rest baby. Take care of that grand daughter."

She closed her eyes, waiting for Happy before falling back to sleep.

Two Weeks Later

She had a follow up appointment, Happy was on a run so she was going by herself. She drove to St. Thomas hospital pulling into the parking lot, she walked into the doctor's office and waited. She had been on bed rest for the past two weeks, she really hoped she'd be released today, and she could return to normal activities. She had several things she needed to get done in the next three months.

She was called back to an exam room, after a check up she was released from bed rest, although she was told to try to keep stress as low as possible. She left the doctor's office and headed to Oakland to do some shopping for the baby. She bought everything she needed for Sophia, she stopped to eat some lunch before leaving to go home.

She opened her purse pulling out her phone, she had several missed calls from Happy. Shit! She listened to his voicemails, that started out as calm, and ended somewhere in panic and angry. She quickly called him back.

"Where the fuck are you?"

"Oakland, shopping."

"Do you have any idea how worried I've been?"

"I'm sorry Hap, I thought you'd have your mind on the run, not on me and Sophia.."

"Are you fucking kidding me? It's all I've thought about today, hoping that everything was okay with you two..."

"I didn't want to bother you on the run..."

"The next time you have an appointment, you better call me. Now get your ass home."

"All right, I'm going!"

"And babe..."

"Yeah?"

"I love you!"

"I love you too!"

She carried the bags into the house, she went back out for the carseat box when she heard him pulling into the drive. "What the hell women?"

"It isn't that heavy Hap!" He glared at her, as he took the box from her carrying it inside the house. He sat the box down in the livingroom, pulling her into his arms and kissing her. "Take me to bed and love me!"

"What?"

"You heard me.."

"What about the baby?"

"I've been cleared to resume all normal activities." He picked her up in his arms and carried her down the hall to their room, laying her on the bed. He quickly undressed, she started to take her clothes off but he pushed her hands away, slowly undressing her, staring at her body.
