After the small gathering her family had in her house without her presence, the guys were around her house the very next morning with breakfast. They filled her entire table and lounge and couldn't wait to wake both her and her daughter up. Mia wasn't surprised when she finally rose from her bed that saw Julia up and ready for the day knowing the elder Lowman loved her mornings and her daughter who was sitting in Lee's lap while Lucy was siting next to them.
"Morning baby" Lucy greeted with a warm motherly smile while she caught all the guys attention who sang out a chorus of good mornings her way.
"Morning family" she chuckled moving around her lounge and placing a kiss to her uncles and two brothers cheeks before finishing in the dining room kissing Julia and her parents.
"Did you sleep well?" Lucy asked knowing her daughter was the least bit happy when she left last night.
"I did thanks. Livy kept me all warm didn't you baby girl?" Mia cheered pulling a cheeky face to her daughter who grinned a toothy grin and nodded uncontrollably. Mia chuckled before pouring herself a strong black coffee as her morning fix for the day.
"So what's your plan for the day ma?" Mia asked as she looked into each bag to see what she felt hungry for.
"Well I was just going to stick around here. You know with my grand baby being here and all. I want to take Julia out sometime today too. It's been a while and I do miss her" Lucy stated honestly.
When Mia left, Happy still often brought his mother up to visit for a few weeks on end and although Julia was unhappy about why Mia and he were no longer together, Julia was still treated like a sister by Lucy. The guys thought of her as a second mother and Lucy was proud to share that pedestal. Julia was a well respected woman still even after Happy's change of charters a few years ago.
"Okay then and what about you daddy?" Mia asked looking to her father with a soft smile. She pulled her mug to her mouth and took a small sip of her coffee.
"Clubs gotta head out soon. We're going on a run up north for a few days before we head to rogue river at the end of the week. We just came to have breakfast with this little one before we go" Lee informed. It was going to be a long run with most of his guys going out. "Lorca, Shark and the prospects will be here though. If you need anything at all-"
"Call one of the guys. I know the drill dad" Mia said rolling her eyes. Lee always had to remind his daughter of the number one rule and it always made him laugh when she answered him back with that very line.
"Of course you do baby girl" Lee said planting a soft kiss to Mia's cheek.
Once the guys had filed out giving generous amounts of loving to Lucy, Julia, Mia and Livy they were left to clean her house. The day seemed to have taken its toll on Mia and by that she meant that it was going extremely slow. With having cleaned her house up in under an hour with the help of both grandmothers, she was left with nothing much else to do. Livy was happily playing outside in the dirt while Julia and Lucy shared a few laughs over a coffee with Melissa who joined them not so long ago.
"We're gonna head out now baby girl. Is there anything you need?" Lucy asked.
"Uh- no. Maybe some junk food? I want to have a lazy movie night. Are you gonna join?" She asked looking up to her mother.
"Seeing as no one is at home to keep me company I thought maybe I could stay here. Spend as much time with these two before Julia heads home."
"Okay. I'll set up Livy's room for you unless you want to sleep with me?" Mia thought knowing she could really use her mothers bear hugs and her large king sized bed was big enough for the three of them.
"I never thought I'd hear that from your mouth ever again" Lucy stated half surprised. She grinned from ear to ear nodding her head yes.
"Okay then. Go on, I'll see you both tonight. Love you" Mia informed kissing Julia, Melissa and Lucy on the cheeks.
She heard the three sing out their love for her too before making her way outside where her baby was happily digging a hole into the dirt garden.
"Liv baby, your making a huge mess" Mia chuckled slipping her feet through her slip ons then closing the distance between herself and her daughter.
"I know mama. I want to make big mess" Livy stated proudly causing Mia to chuckle.
"Are you gonna clean it up when your finished?" Mia asked raising her brow.
"Yes mama. I clean when finished" Livy stated trying to convince her mother that she was when really she knew she was just gonna leave it there.
"You better or mama won't give you chocolate yogurt for lunch" Livy's eyes went wide before she nodded. Mia knew just what her daughter loved the flavored yogurt and as much as she didn't like to use that method of getting her daughter to clean up after herself, she didn't have the energy to do it herself. She sat back down watching as Livy continued to play in the dirt.
By lunch time Mia had searched the web still on the hunt to find a job. She received a few emails but none of her particular liking.
-o0o-
"Mama?" Livy asked that night in bed. She snuggled closer to her mother and wrapped her arms as best she could around her waist due to the weather being shit.
"Yeah baby girl" Mia asked smoothing Livy's hair from her face and kissed her temple.
"I can go home with abuela?" Livy whispered. Mia furrowed her brows not understanding her daughters emotions.
"What's wrong Livy?" Mia whispered. Livy's arms tightened around her mothers waist and she shook her head.
"I want Busta" Livy stated simply. Mia knew there was more to it than that so she pushed.
"That's not it baby girl. Come on Livy what's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong mama. I just wanna go home with abuela." Mia couldn't understand what her daughter's problem was considering she loved the guys and Lucy. Maybe it was the shitty weather Tacoma had. It was a bright and sunny morning until it started pouring down later that night but that wasn't it.
While contemplating the reasons as to why her daughter wanted to leave with Julia, she didn't realize Livy'd drifted off to sleep until her light snores broke Mia's concentration. She giggled to herself then kissed Livy's temple once more before falling asleep herself.
-o0o-
Two weeks had passed since Julia left with Livy and Mia was slowly beginning to make arrangements with working. Her time over the few months she'd been in Tacoma was working well with her but she wanted a change of scenery and she wanted it now. Unwinding with a bottle of red wine, she casually tossed her heels off and slumped back on her couch letting the red wine sink into her throat before she felt the urge to want to throw the whole bottle back. It was strange for her because she never drank alone. Needing some company, she decided on calling her brother to come pick her up and seeing as it was a friday night, she could get drunk with her brothers.
Once she messaged Chad who replied almost straight away, she changed in record time choosing skin tight jeans and a simple tank top before throwing on her leather jacket and finishing her look off with a pair of hoop earrings and brown leather boots.
Hearing an all too familiar rumble entering her driveway, she gasped in shock and dropped her jacket that she was gripping so tight her hands were turning a good shade of white. Before she could muster up the courage to stop him from knocking, it was too late. She stilled in her bedroom trying desperately to let her feet begin moving before his knocking became a loud banging she swore would wake up her neighbors. Then, came his gruff voice.
"I know you're in there Mia. Open this door" Happy growled out.
Finally she managed to find her bearings and headed for the front door before he could do anymore damage. Pulling the door open so fast, she just managed to dodge the hit he was about to make on her front door.
"Can I fucking help you?" she snapped glaring at him with her hand resting on her hip.
He scoffed and pushed his way inside before throwing the door closed with his booted foot. "Yeah. You can start by telling me why the fuck your ex was following me a few weeks back?" Happy spat out. She gasped in shock more than anything before making her way into her kitchen.
"There's nothing to explain. You don't have to worry about him" Mia spat out. Reaching into her top shelf cabinet, she pulled her bottle of Jameson out knowing now she wouldn't be going anywhere.
"Why? Because my brothers already took care of that for me?" He snapped spinning her around to face him.
"Please Hap, don't do this" Mia rasped. She could feel her insides falling apart with the intense look he was giving her before he took the bottle from her hands and twisted the cap off of the bottle and taking a pull from it.
"Why? Because it hurts your feelings? You think-" Whatever he was gonna say was lost on his ears when she pulled him flush against her and smashed their mouths together. The kiss was needy and heavy on her part and he fell into it. Not sure of what the fuck was happening, he couldn't stop himself when she reached for his growing member.
"Just shut the fuck up and fuck me Hap" Mia rasped heavily before claiming his mouth again.

Mia found herself alone in bed the next morning which was a relief. Raising up from her bed she sighed deeply and looked around to see that every trace of him was gone. Huffing in part relief again she laid back deciding that all things attached to Happy Lowman was now a mere distant thought. The only thing she would ever find love out of his presence was the daughter she loved unconditionally.
AN So here is the last chapter of LAHT. As you can see, Happy still hasn't found out about his daughter which if you've already read Second Chances he finds out in there.
