Here we go as promised. Sorry it's a day late worked killed me last night...
Silver Lining
'I won't get left behind
when the walls come tumbling in
I'll keep climbing,
I'll keep climbing'
Dance With The Devil Pt.2
After stepping into his room and realising that Liv wasn't there his first thought was that she'd run again.
He felt himself growing angrier by the second with that thought and was about ready to tear his room apart for answers and because he needed a release. But before he could start his destruction he received a phone call, a phone call that had him storming out of the clubhouse, without a word to anyone and racing his way out of Charming alone.
Pulling down the road to the Warehouse where the Bandits had tried to set up the club he killed his engine as he parked outside.
He knew it was risky that this could easily be another set up but his gut told him that that wasn't the case, and it could also be a big risk not go along with Danny's demands. He wasn't about to play with her life.
Drawing his gun he stepped inside the Warehouse. Every cautious step he took further inside his eyes surveyed as much of the dully lit warehouse as he could.
Making it to the centre of the building Happy saw her tied to a chair and watched her eyes going wide as soon as she saw him.
But Happy also didn't miss the two dead bodies that were on the floor either side of him., one of the being the Samcro prospect Davie, he wasn't sure what he had to do with this but if he was in on it then he was fucking glad he was lying in a pool of his own blood, however seeing those bodies told Happy that Danny wasn't playing around. Which is why he didn't just go to her.
Keeping his gun raised Happy cautiously started to make his way to her his eyes darting around every square inch of the room. As he got closer he noticed that she was screaming and shaking her head as she bucked around trying to free herself from the chair. He just thought she was scared but when her eyes moved from him and over to his left Happy realised that she was actually trying to tell himself something, warn him but he realised that to late.
It was like slow motion, the sound of gunfire echoing around the room and in her head, Happy dropping to the floor. Liv used everything she could to try and get to him, even when she felt the blood trickle down her hands she didn't stop. She just had to get to him.
Happy grabbed his bloody thigh as he bit back the sheering pain erupting in his body. He tried to apply pressure to the bullet wound but his attention was drawn away when he heard Liv's muffled screams.
Forgetting his own pain almost instantly he tried to get to his feet so he could get to her but stopped when Danny stepped out from the darkness he had been hiding in and started approaching her with his gun. The same gun that he had probably fired at him from the security of his hiding place. Pussy. Happy thought as he finally managed to steady himself onto his feet.
Danny smirked when he saw the pain in Happy's eyes as he straightened up to his feet. This was going to be a lot more than he originally thought.
"If you want to do this, then lets settle this man to man. Leave her out of this." Happy made sure to emphasise the last part.
Danny stopped in his approach towards Liv and turned his full attention onto Happy.
"Really?" Happy nodded. His eyes never leaving Danny's not even when he heard her cry again. "Okay. Sounds fun." And Danny really did believe that. Being given the opportunity to personally hand Happy his ass was very appealing.
But on the other hand he wasn't stupid. Happy was a wounded man, meaning he was weaker so if he was offering to go rounds Danny just knew he must have a secret weapon and he didn't like those odds. He knew what Happy's position was within Samcro and he also knew of Happy's other name so he wasn't about to take any chances with anybody who's nickname was killer. "Okay."
He answered as he continued his journey over to Liv, pulling his knife out when he reached her side. In the corner of his eye he could see Happy twitching, eager to put a stop to him but in true solider style Happy didn't follow what his feelings were probably screaming at him, instead he stayed where he was observing everything, waiting for the right time to pounce. A chance Danny wasn't going to give him.
"I'll fight you man to man." Danny spoke as he stepped behind Liv, his eyes locking with Happy's again. "But I wanna see all your weapons on the floor." He pressed the blade against Liv's throat. "Now." Danny ordered.
Happy had to plant his feet to the floor to stop himself from tackling Danny when he saw the droplets of blood run down her throat, because Danny could easily slit her throat before he even reached him.
Doing the only thing he could do he started dumping his weapons to the floor.
"That it?"
"Yeah." Happy answered pulling up his shirt showing nothing was hidden.
"Good." Danny moved the blade from Liv's neck. Seeing the cut on her neck Happy made a promise with himself, he was going to the mother fucker slowly and painfully.
Danny stepped around the Liv and threw his own gun and knife to the floor. Before removing his jacket purposely throwing it towards Liv.
"Okay lets do this." Happy nodded as he to removed his cut.

"Don't." Lorca warned as he pressed his hand firmly on Kozik's chest as he got to his feet.
"I'm just gonna chec..."
"I know what your gonna do and I respect that brother but you remember what Tally told ya?" Kozik knew exactly what he was referring to although he didn't know that Tally's little warning to him was public knowledge well public to his VP anyway. He wasn't surprised though. "Stay out of it." Lorca reminded him just in case he had forgotten.
Kozik continued to look down the hallway debating whether he should push his VP's hand off of him or if he should take his warning and take a seat going back to his beer.
But luckily for Kozik he didn't have to make that decision as Lip stepped up.
"I'll go check on her."
"No." Lorca snapped, his eyes falling on the younger of the two men. Lorca knew both his brothers had a soft spot for Liv but if the way Happy stormed out of the clubhouse was anything to go by this situation didn't need two of his top rated bothers turning to mush and giving into Liv, pandering to her. No this situation needed someone to objective someone who would have no problem pointing out her mistakes as well as Happy's and that person was him. Just like he had done the other when he walked in on their argument, the argument which resulted in Liv being pinned against the wall with Happy's hand around her neck. "I'll deal with this."
Taking a quick glance around the clubhouse, where he noticed that most of his brothers were now looking at the three men, Great. he disappeared down the hall.
As he got closer to Happy's room he realised the door was wide open. Stepping into the room he expected to find Liv either sitting on the bed/floor crying or tearing up the room in anger instead he saw none of that in fact he saw nothing. The room was completely empty.
"She's not there." Lorca stated as he returned to bar.
"Wait what do mean not there?" Kozik asked placing his beer back onto the bar.
"Checked the whole room and the bathroom done the hall. She's gone." Lorca answered in bewilderment. He still couldn't figure this shit out himself.
"We've been sitting here most of the night. She hasn't left." Lip added from beside Kozik.
"I know." Lorca answered before he looked to his side when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"What's goin on?" Jax asked looking around the three men.
"Liv's gone." Lip blurted out.
"Hap's girl?" Tig questioned as he joined the conversation. Quickly followed by the other Sons.
######################
Clay threw his phone across the table when he connected to the voice mail for the 10th time.
Shit was off this wasn't how this was supposed to go down. By now he should be at the meeting point arranged by himself and Danny earlier. He should have Colt Buford and Davie in his hands, bringing them to his brothers showing them the reason he was President, and as an added bonus that little tart would be gone. No longer a threat to his club. But that wasn't what was happening.
Instead of basking his glory, Clay was standing alone in his own clubhouse as he watched his plan crumble around him.
Grabbing the edge of the handmade Redwood Original Table Clay desperately tried to figure how he was spin this all his favour. But his moment of silence was interrupted by the increase of noise coming from behind the closed double doors.
Opening both doors he stepped right into chaos.
"What the hell is goin on?" Clay watched as all of them turned to look at him, but it was Tig who spoke up first.
"Hap's girls gone, and so's the prospect. No one saw them leave."
"And we all know there's only one way outta here apart from that door." Jax added as he pointed to the entrance of the clubhouse.
"Prospects don't know bout that." Bobby reminded them.
However Clay disagreed. This Prospect knew about that door.
Upon hearing this new piece of information Clay was fear was coming true, he had been doubled crossed. Fuck. And as his caught Gemma's, who was entering the bar clearly having heard the previous conversation Clay knew that she knew.
"Has anyone tried Hap?" Clay asked finally tearing his eyes away from his questioning wife's.
"Yeah keeps ringing off." Kozik said from his stool, his pre-pay attached to his ear as he answered Clay's question.
"Okay keep trying. We'll get to the bottom of this."
#######################
Liv couldn't take it any more. She actually used to enjoy watching Happy step into the ring on the odd occasion, it weirdly turned her on watching her man dominant his opponent, but this was different.
This wasn't a brawl between friends who would end up hugging it out (man style) after the fight was over, no this fight was a fight to the death.
They were both bloody, a mixture of their own and each others blood, but it had been Happy who had dominated the fight so far even given his injury. But Liv could tell that it wasn't going to last forever and that scared the shit out of her. Especially as she was so fucking helpless.
Danny did not like this. He expected that Happy would throw a few decent swigs before giving into his injury and therefore giving him the upper hand but it hadn't gone down like that.
Happy had come at him full force, it was like he didn't even have an injury. The constant ringing of his phone hadn't even distracted him, he just kept coming.
Danny knew he had to do something or it would be him lying on the floor dead instead of Happy and Liv like he had intended. He needed to do something quick.
Happy threw another left hook catching Danny square on the jaw, making him drop to one knee. Danny knew this was his chance.
Ramming his hand into the back of his boot, Danny pulled out his hidden knife, his lucky knife.
As Happy grabbed the scurf of his t-shirt, Danny took his opportunity and as Happy raised his fist preparing to land another blow Danny grabbed the knife and pushed into Happy's stomach.
Lic screamed at the top of her lungs as she watched Danny plung the knife into his stomach. But worse was to come.
She continued to watch on as Happy amazingly wrapped his hand around Danny's wrist pulling his wrist back and therefore pulling the knife out of his stomach without so much as a flinch of pain.
As Happy had hold of his wrist Danny felt his grip start to ease leading Danny to believe that he was weakening. So Danny pressed him thumb into the fresh stab wound.
For the first time Happy showed some sign of weakness. No longer able to stop himself, Happy let out a low moan of pain as Danny's thumb pressed into his open flesh. Before he could recover Danny got to his feet and came at him again with his knife.
In that spilt second Happy caught Liv's eyes. He had never seen her look so terrified and it was seeing that look in her eyes that made him fight.
He manged to catch Danny wrist before he manged to get him again.
The knife shook as the blade teetered between them. Both giving their best to try and force the knife into the others body. But Happy knew that Danny was starting to get the upper hand he felt himself go a little light headed as he continued to lose blood at a rapid rate.
Happy didn't have many fears, barely any and the one thing he didn't fear was death. In his position at the club, which after 2 years of looking for Liv only to come up with nothing, he threw himself into, death was a constant for him. He was always at risk although up till this point he had always come out of top, maybe a few bruises and scars but he always came out breathing. But this time he wasn't going to be walking at of here. And in any other situation he would probably be okay with that, his Ma and Aunt of course they would be heart broken but they would be taken care of not just by his extended family at the club but by the money he had quietly been putting over the years, just in case, he didn't want his Ma to have to struggle.
But as he felt his elbows start to buckle he couldn't help but a spare a look at her.
And for the first time he feared something. He didn't want to die not now, he had just got her back and for the first time in 9 years he finally felt a reason to live again. He didn't care that she to would be taken care of by the club because he didn't want them to. She was his no one else's.
She had stopped fighting, stopped screaming but her tears hadn't stopped falling. Her watery eyes were transfixed to his and for that single moment it was like it was just the two of them in the room.
Taking in her for what may be the last Happy felt a small tug at the corner of his mouth before closing his eyes as his arms finally gave way and the blade pierced into his skin just below his collar bone.
Her covered screams still managed to echo through out the warehouse.
Danny drove the knife deeper. He felt Happy weaken beneath him and Danny knew he had won, but there was still one more thing he had to do.
"You took someone from me someone I loved. Now...now I'm gonna do the same." He threatened.
Pulling back the knife Danny let Happy drop to a heap on the floor. A feeling of satisfaction spreading over him. He'd won.
Hearing Danny threaten her life Happy felt...well he couldn't explain all he knew was that it eclipsed every other emotion or feeling he had. He may have given into his fate but Liv's fate wasn't going to be same as his. Over his dead body Literally.
Realising that his Beretta was just inches away from him Happy looked up to see where Danny was before reaching for his gun, ignoring the pain, and tucking it by his side hiding it from view.
"See way I see it, and I tried to explain this to Darby..." Danny ranted as he strolled cockily towards Liv, who was still fighting to try and get free, Wasted effort. Danny mused. "An eye for an eye."
This was something Happy never understood if you were going to kill someone then kill them, don't be a fucking pussy and talk about what you were going to do and just do it.
Plus he would never turn his back on a man, injured or not, he would never make that mistake especially if said man was known as Killah, not just by his friends but by his enemies, and he would never turn his back on a man like that and stand before him threatening the life of someone that meant something to him, because that man would do whatever he could to protect that someone.
Another thing Happy didn't do was shoot people from behind, he was no coward. Plus he wanted to see the life leave Danny's eyes.
"Hey asshole."
Danny was mid turn when he realised that he was looking down the barrel of a gun. He didn't even have time to react before the gun fired and a bullet lodged right between his eyes.
Shit That was the last thought Danny Jenkins ever had.
Using what energy he had left he forced himself onto his feet and went to her, collecting the bloodied knife lying beside Danny's now lifeless body on his way.
As he reached her Happy dropped to his knees. He felt light headed from the loss of blood and he knew that he probably couldn't hold on for much longer. But before that happened he needed her out of here but first...
He reached out and pulled down the gag. He knew that she would be hysterical towards,e. him, for him, but he didn't give her a chance to even catch her breath before he moved his hand to the back of her head, his hand fisting in her hair, as he crashed his lips on to hers.
He felt her try and pull away but he just pulled her closer. He wasn't ready to stop just yet, he needed to kiss her properly one last time.
"No...no..." Her voice was shaky but her tone was firm. "I'm not doing this, we're not doing this." She snapped finally pulling away from him, fresh tears in hers eyes.
He smiled at her, his hands on either side of her face, his thumbs rubbing over her cheeks as he caught her falling tears. He loved this girl like no one else. He had never intended to but somehow she had gotten under his skin. It was ironic how 9 years without her almost killed him and now that he finally had her again he was dying. Fucking karma. He thought.
Thumbing away more tears he pressed his lips onto hers gently before resting his head against hers.
"You okay?" He rasped, surprised when his words made her laugh.
"Your really asking me that?" He realised how stupid a question that may have sounded considering. "Hap..." Her smile now replaced with a serious concerning look. A look he didn't want to see a look he didn't want to remember her by.
"Your gonna be okay...Your gonna be okay." He reassured her as he took the knife and started cutting the ropes from her hands and ankles. Once all ties were cut Happy dropped the knife and fell to the floor.
Liv was off the chair and on her knees, pulling him against her body in seconds. There was so much blood and she didn't know what to do. She knew she had to try and stop the bleeding but where. His shoulder, thigh, stomach, there was just noway she could make them all stop, but she wanted to stop them, she needed them to stop.
When her eye finally found their back to his she saw that they were glazing over.
"Stay with Hap, don't you dare leave." But by the time she finished Happy's eyes closed.
############################
Liv slid through the doors and into the Chapel. She managed to make it to the last row of pews before collapsing in a heap. Her head resting in her hands that were propped on her knees.
She thought she would feel something but she was completely numb.
She tried to piece together everything that had happened but she couldn't get past the last time she looked into his eyes. Everything after that was a complete blur. She had no idea how she'd gotten to St. Thomas. All she knew was that she couldn't take the voices around her any more, hence why she had snuck away.
She needed to stop the noise, and she only knew one way to do that but she didn't have a bath full of water to drown herself under right now, so instead she sought out the silence which led her to where she was currently sitting, the Chapel, which she thought was kind of ironic as she had never been a believer in the Big man above.
But as she sat there with Happy's bloody cut in her hands she found herself whispering a prayer. A prayer in which she asked for help.
########################
Clay arrived at the Hospital, after overseeing the clean-up at the warehouse with Lorca, Titch, Kyle and Opie, and joined the rest of his brothers, Donna and his wife in the family room.
The air was thick and everyone looked like they had taken a bullet themselves. Happy was a highly respected brother across the board, he was truly loved by his brothers, and the events of tonight rocked them all and probably would haunt them for a long time, because this didn't happen, not to one of their own, not in their own backyard and defiantly not to someone like Happy.
When they had arrived at the Warehouse after Lorca had received a call from a hysterical Liv, no one was prepared for what they had walked into. Not even Clay.
He hadn't planned this hadn't expected to be double crossed by Danny, he had obviously underestimated his need for revenge. A mistake that may have cost him dearly.
"You talk to Unser?" Jax asked as he got to his feet and approached his step farther. Clay turned to his son as he was drawn out of his thoughts.
"Huh.."
"Unser?"
"Yeah..said he keep Felps off her back tonight but couldn't promise any longer than that."
"Yeah well if he tries he'll have to get past me first." Jax seethed.
He had been the one who tried to pull Liv away from Happy, and it hadn't been easy. He could still feel her tiny body shaking underneath his hands, but it was the look in hers eyes that floored him she looked completely broken, lost like a child who couldn't find their mother.
Every time he closed his eyes he saw that look and he felt a need to protect that innocent doe eyed girl, which is why he was not going to let Felps or any other asshole get anywhere near her.
Clay could see the anger flare in his stepsons eyes, his feelings for the girl clear. Whatever the outcome Clay knew one thing for sure if his part in this whole facade ever came to light then Jax, his VP, his Stepson would be the first to invoke his revenge, a revenge that may cost him his President patch. Something he would not let happen.
Looking around the room for the only person who could help him right now he realised that she wasn't there. Turning back to Jax he placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"We won't let anything happen to her. That asshole won't get within two feet of her without one of us there."
"Good."
Clay watched on as Jax returned to his seat. Turning back on himself Clay left the room. As he pulled the door closed he heard the familiar click of heels echo down the hall. Looking up at his wife who had now come to a stop, Clay slowly walked over to her as he joined her leaning against the wall.
"Was this us?" Gemma asked as her hands rested on his cut.
"It wasn't supposed..."
"Jesus Christ Clay." Clay grabbed her hands before it fell from his cut.
"This wasn't how this was supposed to go down." Gemma could see the regret in his eyes. Of course he didn't want this, he would never go out of his way to hurt a brother.
"I know Baby." She dropped a kiss onto his lips. "I know. Could this blow back?"
"I don't know, Danny could have said anything."
"She's in the Chapel. I saw her sneak inside. She's alone." Gemma informed him. Clay nodded, kissed he forehead and headed in the direction of the Chapel.
###########################
Peering through the small pain of glass Clay saw her sitting on the back pew, alone. As he stepped inside he expected her to turn around to look at who had entered but she didn't, in fact she didn't even flinch. It was only when he slid into the pew did she show that she had registered his presence by increasing the distance between them slightly, but she still didn't look at him.
Clay looked her up and down. She had calmed down alot. When the they had first arrived she was hysterical. She held Happy in her arms cradled against her body as she screamed for help, begging them to do something to help him.
But now she was quiet, distant even.
Clay noticed her hands balled up in Happy's cut and he wondered if she really did know, and if she did know the truth then how was she going to handle this.
"You should get those looked at." Clay went to reach out to the hideous rope marks on her wrist, that she had refused to get looked at saying she didn't need the help Happy did, but as his hand barley touched her she retracted her hand away.
"It's nothing, I'll live." She spoke barely above a whisper as she continued to stare ahead.
"We need to talk about what happened at the warehouse."
"I told Jax everything." Clay was really starting to get pissed off with her blase attitude. He didn't need bullshit he needed true answers and she was the only one who could give them to him.
"I need to know what Danny said to you."
And there it was. Liv had been sitting there wondering how long it would take before Clay sought her out. But right now she wasn't ready for him because she wanted to kill him, wanted to make him suffer the same pain Happy had. That was why she hadn't looked at him. She knew she wouldn't be able to control herself.
Clay rested his hand on the back of the pew in front of him as he lent in closer to her.
"I need to know." He spoke threateningly. Liv bit the inside of her cheek as she held back her anger but it wasn't working.
"He just spat shit about Jessica and how her death was on my hands." Liv finally turned to face him. "Why Clay? What else would he have to say to me?"
She knew. If her words didn't tell him then the murderous glint in her eyes did. The only question left now was what was she going to do with this new bit of information. Reaching out he grabbed her upper arm and pulled her towards him. He was surprised that she didn't fight him.
"The shit you know could be very damaging if it ever got out. You understand that?"
"You don't need to worry I'll keep your secret but you have to do something for me."
"Don't really think that your in the position to threaten'."
"And neither are you." Clay could feel himself getting angrier. Who the fuck did she think she was? "I won't interfere in your club and in return all I ask is you stay the hell out of mine and Happy's relationship."
"And If I don't what...your gonna go public with this shit?"
Liv never said anything and although Clay was about to he didn't get the chance because the doors to the Chapel opened steeling both their attention from one another.
"The Doctors looking for you. Hap's out of surgery." Looking back at Clay she removed her arm from his grip and slid out of the pew, passed Gemma and out of the Chapel.
"Everything okay?"
"Yeah perfect." Clay remarked sarcastically.
Around Five and a Half weeks later
Liv lay beside him her head resting on his chest listening to his beating heart. She would never grow tired of hearing it.
She thought she had lost him but she hadn't he was here, he may have added a few more scars to his collection but he was here, and that was all that mattered.
Although he had been home for three this was actually the first time they had been able to spend time like this together.
As soon as Gabrielle had been told that her son was in hospital she had packed a bag and was on the first flight to Charming. Happy spent 2½ weeks in the hospital and neither her Gaby or Liv left his side.
At first Liv had been worried about Gaby coming, because she didn't know where she stood with her, because the last time she saw Happy's mother three days later she had bolted. But Liv was completely stunned when Gaby pulled her into a bone crushing hug and offered her sympathy. It seemed that Happy's health overshadowed everything else, including their past history.
So when Gaby asked, well more told Liv that she would be staying at her apartment to help take care of Happy when he got discharged, Liv didn't see a problem, at first anyway. But by the third week of her stay Liv was really regretting that decision.
But Liv never said a word even though she was pulling her hair out because what could she say, Happy was her only Son and she was his mother it was only natural that she wanted to care of him even if that meant pushing Liv to the side lines. Although annoyed by this at first, deep down Liv didn't really care Happy was alive and was going nowhere and neither was she and that was all that mattered.
But by the end of that week it had been Happy that had had enough of his Mothers fussing and finally told her that he loved but to go home.
Happy loved his mother but he really needed some alone time with his girl. 5½ weeks ago he thought he had kissed her for the last time, but who ever was up stairs had thrown him a lifeline, literally, and all he wanted to do since he woke up was to be with her.
Since he had woken up in the Hospital and looked into her eyes all he had wanted to do was pull her onto the bed with him and bury himself deep inside her showing her how much she truely meant to him. But he hadn't and apparently he couldn't at least for another two weeks according to the Doctor, not that he hand't tried but for some reason Liv was standing strong.
So for now he had to settle for having her naked body pressed against his, not that he was complaining. After thinking that he had lost her, he was pretty content with just having her next to him, cuddling, not that he would ever it admit it to anyone beyond the four walls of Liv's bedroom.
Looking down at her he noticed that he ear was pressed directly over his heart. Something she had been doing a lot of lately. He couldn't help but laugh.
"It ain't gonna stop ya know."
"I know but I kinda like listening to it. It's relaxes me." She answered sleepily as her head lifted from his chest so that she could look at him. Happy rolled his eyes as he pulled her closer.
"Your all crazy girl."
"Yeap." She lent up and caught his lips kissing him quickly, but as she went to pull away Happy stopped her and deepened the kiss.
Their hands started exploring each other and things were staring to escalate. They were desperate to be with one another, inside one another but they couldn't, not yet. No matter how she wanted him she wasn't about to put his recovery at risk.
"Saved by the bell." She teased as the buzzing of the doorbell interrupted them.
"Great." He replied in a sulk.
Liv shook her head, a smile on her lips as she slid out of bed grabbing one his t-shirts and pulling it on as she headed down the hall.
"Check who the fuck it is before answering." Happy shouted after her.
Rolling her eyes at his protectiveness she headed to the door. Following his orders Liv asked who it was as well as looking through the peep-hole where she saw a man standing in a suit.
"Hi." Liv greeted as she opened the door which she hand opened although she had left the chain on.
"Hello. Are you Mrs Lowman?"
"Yeah."
"Here I need you to sign for these papers." He told her showing her a clipboard. Closing the door so she could unlock the chain Liv accepted the clipboard.
"What's this for?"
"I don't know I just was told to get a signature." Liv scribbled her name and accepted the papers.
"Thanks." She mumbled shutting the door and locking it before walking back down the hall. Tearing the Manila envelope open she took a moment to read over the papers inside. Taking another moment to make sure she was reading it right Liv let out a shuddered breath before hurrying back to her bedroom.
"Who was at the door?" Happy asked upon her return. Liv never answered instead she handed him the papers.
Happy took the papers and took a quick glance at them when he realised what they were. With everything that had been going on he had forgotten about those.
"I don't understand?" Liv took a seat next to him on the bed.
"What's not to understand? It's an application." He answered simply handing the papers back to her.
"Yes I know that but Hap this is an application for a withdrawal of our divorce."
"Yeah."
"But..." She looked down at the papers one more time before looking back at Happy who had a smirk on his face. "When?"
"Called the clubs lawyer that morning we left here when you told me that you were with me. It's your choice, you don't have..." Liv jumped at him covering his mouth with her's as they exchanged a lingering kiss.
"So this is the silver lining." She mumbled against his lips.
"The what?" He asked as he pulled away slightly.
"Well there's this old saying Alfie used to say sometimes, wrote a song about it actually." Liv shook her head. He knew that she didn't like referring to her father in anyway if she could help it so she was probably cursing herself for this little slip. But he didn't say anything, instead he let her continue. "Anyway apparently every cloud has a silver lining. Well all the shit we've been through that's the cloud, and this..." She waved the papers at him. "This, us being together again this is our silver lining."
"I'll say it again girl, Crazy. " Liv ran her hand over his shaved head.
"Yeah well you better get used to it Husband because I'm not going anywhere."
"Good." Happy wrapped his arm around her waist, flipping her over onto her back. He was glad she was going nowhere because even if she wanted to he was never going to let that her go again.
Okay so that is it, that's the end. I hope you all enjoyed it. I want to say a BIG thankyou to everyone who has added this story and me to their alerts, to those who have reviewed and to those silent readers who have just come and read my story.
The support I have received, not just for this instalment but for the first one as well (If It Hadn't Been For Love) I am truly overwhelmed and grateful.
I've really enjoyed writing Happy and Liv's story and I hope that you have to.
I'm not sure where I'm going to go with this story. At the moment I have another story called Everything Changes which I have kind of been taking a little hiatus from, but I don't know about anyone else but I really hate unfinished stories so I really want to concentrate on finishing that before I start anything else.
But if you have any suggestions or ideas of what I should do next, another squeal, a prequel, one shots anything I'd love to hear from you.
Anyway thanks again for all the support. You've all been lovely readers.
