Maddie regained conciseness to the whomp whomp sound of her baby's heart beat. She slowly opened her eyes, hearing Sophia giggle she turned her head towards the sound wincing in pain. Happy was at her bedside, with Sophia on his lap.

"Hap?" He sat up taking her hand in his.

"You scared the hell out of me baby!"

She put her hand on her stomach. "The baby, is he okay?"

"He? It's a boy?" His hand covered hers.

She smiled at him. "I found out today? Yesterday? Is the baby ok?"

"The doctor said, he's fine. You have a concussion, a broken ankle, bumps, and bruises."

"We were hit head on, guy ran a red light! I'm just glad Sophia and the baby are okay."

Happy cupped her face. "Babe, I'm glad all three of you are safe. When I got a phone call about you being in a car accident...don't do that again, scare me like that."

"I'm sorry Hap, about everything..." She started to cry, because she was really sorry about leaving.

"Don't get upset, let's talk about it later lol " He leaned down and kissed her. "I love you Madison Winston!"

"I love you too Happy!" She wanted to say so much more to him but the doctor came in before you she could.

"Ms. Winston, I'm Dr. Parker."

"This is Happy Lowman, he's my.."

"I'm her fiancee." He finished her sentence, she looked at him for a minute wondering what in the hell was wrong with him.

"Your baby is strong and healthy, I do want you to take it easy once your released is that going to be a problem,"

Happy butted in with a question. "We live about five hours away, how long before she can travel? I'll be taking care of her."

"I'd give it at least two weeks before you do any long distance traveling. Then I'd say break or uo as much as you can. I'm going to release you later this afternoon."

"Thank you." The doctor left the room, Maddie looked at him. "Are you going to ask me to go back with you or just drag me back,"

"Please come home with me baby. I love you, I need you. I want to watch your stomach grow with my child. Please say you'll come home."

She closed her eyes, letting the tears fall down her checks. He reached over, wiping away her tears."We'll come home."

He leaned down kissing her, she cupped his face. "I love you Happy."

Opie and Jax walked through the hospital until they found the room they were looking for. Adam Greer, they went into the room, not a scratch on the man, he was being held for observation. They approached the bed, Opie grabbed him by the gown. "You could have killed them, you worthless piece of shit!"

"Their fine! Get your hands off of me!"

"Here you lay without a scratch on you. While my baby niece and my sister look like they got the hell beat out of them."

"What are you going to do big guy, beat me up?"

Opie grinned at him. "Not here, watch your back!" He dropped him on the bed, walking out of the room. Finding out that he was going to be released that afternoon, they'd wait for him in the parking lot. The bastard had been drunk, when he hit Maddie's car, because he was a big time lawyer, he'd already gotten bail posted. Didn't even get taken to jail.

The nurse pushed Maddie's wheel chair towards the front door of the hospital. She was hurting but it wasn't too bad, she was waiting for Happy to pick her up.

"Are you sure he knew you were getting out this afternoon honey?"

"He took our daughter to lunch, then he was coming back."

"Maybe you should call him."

She pulled out her phone, dialing his number, it went straight to voice mail. She left a voicemail, then ended the call. She haf tears in her eyes, the nurse waited with her for twenty minutes, and he hadn't called her back, or showed up. "Could you call me a cab, please?"

"Sure honey." The nurse looked at her symptomatically. She started to cry uncontrollably, she had to get to Charming so she could be apart of her daughter's life. He had left with her to teach her a lesson. Looking at her watch, he was now forty-five minutes late, she wiped the tears from her face. Placing a hand on her stomach, she knew she needed to calm down.

She slowly let out an exhale, closing her eyes, she tried to calm herself down. "Are you ready to go home?" Asked the raspy voice she loved. She opened her eyes, seeing him standing in front of her. Her eyes, were red from crying, he cupped her face. "Have you been crying?"

"It's nothing, just hormones." He picked her up out of the wheelchair, carrying her to the van. He carefully placed her inside, his hand briefly resting on her stomach. She clutched his hand, smiling at him. He leaned in. his other hand wrapping around the back of her neck, pulling her towards him and kissing her. "Where's Sophia?"

"At the house with Opie and Jax."

She leaned her head against the seat, she would look over at him on the drive home. Knowing that they'd be having a serious talk about their relationship. She wasn't looking forward to it, but she knew it needed to be done. He pulled into the drive, rushing to her side of the van, he opened the door, lifting her out, carrying her inside the house.

He lowered her to the couch, propping her ankle up on pillows. "Can I get you anything?"

"No, I'm fine." He touched her bruised face, she saw his knuckles were bruised and bloody. "What did you do?"

"Took care of business." She started to protest, but knew better. She knew that the man that caused the wreck would have to pay for what he's done.

"Did you kill him or just beat the hell out of him?

"Beat the hell out of him...Maddie he could have killed you three."

"I know Hap, I didn't say I was upset with you."

"Then what's wrong?"

"I would have liked to have gotten a couple of hits on him myself."

Happy loaded the van with Maddie and Sophia's things, he buckled the little girl into her carseat, the carried Maddie out to the van. "Ready to go home?"

She smiled at him. "Take us home." He leaned over kissing her, it was mid-morning, they'd be home by late afternoon. Opie and Jax had left two weeks ago, once they knew she and Sophia were safe. They'd been on the rode for a hour, she looked back to see that Sophia was asleep. Looking at Happy, she decided it was now or never. "I'm sorry, that I ran again. I was hurt and confused...I should have stayed."

Happy didn't say anything for the longest time. "Don't run from me again...I mean it!"

"Hap...I was going to tell you about the baby. I was going to call you the night of the accident..."

"Bullshit Maddie! I don't think you had any intention of telling me!"

She closed her eyes. "I was waiting to make sure..." She started to cry. "That I got out of the first trimester before I told anyone."

She heard him swear, he pulled over, on the shoulder of the road. "Christ! I didn't even think about that..."

"I was only going to leave for the weekend, but my heart...I couldn't take any more. I thought it best to stay away, then I found out I was pregnant...I was going to come back." She turned to look at him. "I'm sorry I kept Sophia from you. How did you know about the accident?"

"A nurse found a Teller-Morrow card in your wallet, and called." He leaned over cupping her face. "We're good Maddie, I love you and want you by my side."

"I love you too Hap...I still want to be with you."

"What about Chibs?"

"I love him as a friend..."

Happy kissed her, before pulling onto the highway and heading to Charming.

She woke up as they were passing the city limit sign, she let out a sigh as she stretched in the seat. She looked behind her, Sophia was playing with her toys, she looked over at Happy, he glanced at her smiling. "Feeling well rested?"

"Hmmm! I'm starving!"

"We'll head home, and I'll grill tonight."

"Sounds good." He pulled into the drive of their house, there were several motorcycles in the drive waiting for them. She made a small face, she knew they were here to help, but she just wanted to enjoy a peaceful night at home. Happy got Sophia out first, Lyla was outside she scooped the little girl up in her arms carrying her inside the house.

Happy opened the door, and pulled Maddie out, carrying her to the couch, laying her down, making sure her ankle was propped up. "Don't move your pretty ass off this couch, unless you need to go to the bathroom." She stuck her tongue out at him. He leaned down kissing her. "I have better uses for that tongue."

She smiled up at him, she watched as they carried her and Sophia's things into the house. She could hear Sophia singing in her bedroom and playing with her cousins. Maddie looked around the house, she was glad to be home, she had missed being here. Chibs sat down beside her, touching her face, the bruises had almost faded, she had a scar on her forehead.

"How are you love?"

"I'm good, I'm home where I belong."

"Are you staying with Happy?"

"I love him Chibs. We have Sophia together, and I'm 18 weeks pregnant with his son." She saw his eyes tear up. "I know we never got to talk about or grief the loss of our own child."

"I'm still in love with you Maddie."

"Chibs...I'm sorry but I'm in love with Happy..." She watched him get up and leave, she needed a minute alone. She hobbled to the bedroom, laying back on her bed, she let her tears go. She hated like hell hurting Chibs but she had to tell him the truth, there was no point in letting him believe there was still a chance for him. The door opened, Happy was standing over her, glaring at her.

"What the hell did I tell you?" She opened her eyes looking at him. "Shit baby, what's wrong?"

"I'm fine really. I told Chibs that we were staying together and I was pregnant. He was hurt, I hated hurting him but I had to be honest with him."

He leaned down kissing her, pulling her into his arms. "I'm looking forward to getting you alone tonight!"

She laughed at him. "You need to feed me first! You promised me food!"

"God your needy!"

She grabbed his face. "I just need you and our kids." He put his hand on her stomach.

"So, when are we going to tell everyone about JR.?

"Let's have a party and we'll announcement."

"We'll have to announcements to make."

"What are you talking about Hap?"

"Marry me Maddie! I want you to be my wife."

"Oh my God...you're serious?"

He held out a ring to her. "This was my grandmother's."

"Oh my God!"

"Come on Maddie answer me!"

"Yes!" He slipped the ring on her finger, kissing her. She wiped the tears from her face, looking at him. "So when do you want to get married?"

"As soon as possible...I don't want to wait."

"I'd like to wait until I get my cast off, so at least four to five weeks?"

He growled at her. "Fine!" He picked her up from the bed, carrying her to the livingroom, he laid her back down on the couch. She looked at her engagement ring, smiling she had a wedding to plan in four weeks. She'd enlist the help of Gemma, she was a master party planner.

Opie came in, sitting by her on the couch. "What's up Ope?"

"Do you have something you want to tell me?"

She eyed him for a minute. "Maybe?" She showed him her left hand. "I said yes."

"He better take good care of you three or else!"

She threw her arms around her brother's neck. "You're walking me down the aisle since dad's not here..right?"

"Of course I am!" The brother and sister hugged. "So when is the wedding?"

"Four weeks. I have a ton to do...think Lyla will help me?"

"She'd love to, just ask her."

The next day she called Gemma, Lyla and Tara over to house. Gemma brought lunch, they were sitting in the livingroom eating and talking. "Glad you're okay and home baby!"

"I need you three to help me with something."

"Whatever you need!" Tara said.

"This stays in this room!"

"What's going on baby?"

"I need help planning my wedding in four weeks." She held out her left hand to show her engagement ring. "Happy asked me to marry him and I said yes. The cast comes off in four weeks, and then we're getting married."

There was silence in the room, she looked at the three faces waiting for them to say something.

"Of course we'll help!" Lyla said.

"First up dress shopping!"
