Chapter 13: Lovealot

They were all sitting outside the clubhouse, waiting for Clay and Jax. The warehouse was gone, with the help of the 9'ers they had decimated the Mayan population very thouroughly and Clay and Jax was taking care of the last part as they were waiting. The part that the chinese had helped them with.

As they drove into the lot, Happy got up and walked towards them.

"So?"

"Oswald did good, apparently, Charming is still conservative enough to not want sex toy manufacturers as investors." Clay said as he got off his bike.

"Personally, I think the boy doll did the trick." Jax said with a huge smile.

"He used it?" Tig had bet twenty bucks that Oswald would bail out on using it.

"Oh yes. Slammed it on the table in front of Hale Jr. I could hardly stop myself from laughing out loud." Jax had the biggest smile on his face. Things must have gone well.

"I take it we're home free?" Bobby asked.

"Oh yes." Clay was extremely pleased, this had been a matter of principals for him, Happy knew that.

They all just looked at each other for a long time and finally just started laughing. Happy caught Jax in a hug. "You're a fucking genius!"

"He sure is!" Clay laughed again.

Happy sighed. They were home free for now. The plan had worked. The body in Charming Heigts had scared off investors, leaving Hale Jr. desperate. Enter Chens Chinese contacts who offered to put up the money in exchange for being allowed to build an american factory in Charming on Hale's land. A sex toy factory and proof of Hale's approval of it in a signed contract didn't help his cause. It obviously didn't say sex toy factory, but that was hardly anything that was hard to prove.

Happy hadn't been convinced about the idea. One would have to be a major idiot to sign that, had been his argument. Jax had just smiled at him. 'Or really fucking desperate' was his answer. And he was right. Hale had so much invested in Charming Height, he couldn't back out and had been prepared to do anything to keep the construction going.

The Chinese didn't have any real interest in the factory. The workers would cost them way to much and this was just them helping out. Since the project wasn't going to happen they wouldn't loose any money either. At least not a lot of money and they would get that back with the help of Chen when he expanded his drug business as got rid of the Mayans.

Chen had agreed since it would mean another try at getting rid of the Mayans and for cheap guns. 9'ers also wanted to get rid of the Mayans and cheap guns. Once again, they had worked together and it had worked like a fucking clockwork.

The final touch had been to have it all revealed to City Council by Oswald. If it had been coming from the Sons people would have been skeptical. But from Oswald, a man who stood loose money if it was shut down, was a whole different deal. Not even mentioning what it would do for his attempts to become a mayor. Showing that he was prepared to loose money to keep Charming charming. It was just riddled with lovey touches like that. And everything had worked out just as they had planed.

Happy had known it would. Whenever they worked together, pulled their weight and trusted each other things worked out. Like they had with Zoebelle and later with the Irish and Stahl. They could take on anyone, he fucking knew they could.

"Seriously guys. I'm so fucking proud of all of you. Outstanding work from each and everyone of you. I've never been more proud to be a Son." Clay said.

Alice walked out from the club house and saw them all standing around Clay and Jax. Smiling, so she assumed that it all had worked out to their advantage. She just stood there, watching, for a while. Finally Gemma took her arm.

"Come on! Let's give the men our love."

Hap caught her and gave her a hug. "We're in the clear so you and your nagging ass can move back home."

"Just me, or are you coming with me?" He just laughed and gave her a kiss.

"Well, with everything being all calm I can put all my focus on you, keeping an eye on you all the time." She almost choked, he couldn't be serious, she would kill him if he did that. But then he started to laugh. "Don't worry, Katze. I know you would stab me in my sleep if I did that."

"I fucking would!"

"Go pack up your stuff. We'll eat here and then we'll go home."

On her way inside she saw him going up to Gemma. It didn't look like a congratulations-conversation. He looked serious and she looked pissed.

"So?"

"I had a talk to the fucking whore." Gemma had a way of combining words with contempt in a way he only wish he could ever imitate.

"Good."

"She won't be a problem anymore."

"I have no doubt."

"Fucking bitch, told her that if a saw her even look at her the wrong way I would have her beaten up so bad she wouldn't recognized her own face in months." Suddenly her face got really grim. "I didn't mention that you knew about it."

"Why?"

"I told her that if she thought I was frighting she could only imagine what you would do if you found out that she had been disrespectful to your Old Lady."

He just stared at her. "One in a million, Gemma."

"You know it." She gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Are you really going to keep her in Oakland?"

"Why?"

"With the twins and all I think you should live closer to all of us."

She had a very innocent look that didn't fool him for a second.

"What?"

"Well... just thought I could look around for a house here. With a proper guestroom for your mom."

"Geez. You just have it all planned."

"Always, babe. I always have everything planned."

"Sure, look around."

He had to admit it to himself, the neighborhood Al lived in might not be the best place to raise kids. And he also knew that no matter what he said, Gemma would still look for a house, there was no way he could stop her.

The week after, Alice was at the airport waiting for her parents and Alex. The second her mom saw her she started crying.

"Geez, mom. Are you going to be like this every time I see you?"

"I'm just so happy. I had totally given up on both of you. You had that 'never' and Alex is... Alex."

"Wow! Thanks!" Alex said as he gave Alice a hug. "You really took a firm grip on that 'favorite offspring' spot."

Her dad just gave her a long hug and finally whispered in her ear. "I love you kid, you know that."

Happy, his mom and Aunt were waiting at her house and they had dinner together. It was really odd, everything. But it felt nice to have them all together.

The next day her mom had her and Happy in the studio.

"I've had these pictures planed since the last time I was here and I wanna take them before you get too fat."

"Thanks mom."

"You know what I mean."

They both had jeans on and she put them in one position after another, on quite a few of them Happy was covering her breasts with his hands.

"Getting 'aroused' yet, Katze?" He just wouldn't let that go.

"Shut up!"

Later in the evening she was on her porch with Alex, just the two of them.

"How are you?" He asked and she knew what he meant. It wasn't physically, it was just how she was doing, if she was ok with everything.

"I'm pretty scared and confused. But I'm really happy as well, no pun intended."

Alex laughed. "You seem fine and I'm happy for you, no pun intended. Wow! He really has a crappy name for these discussions."

"I know! How are you doing?"

"I'm fine, not much going on to be honest. Just loads of the same."

"You ok with that?"

"Yeah, I'm planning on doing a dad."

"What, whoring around until you find some young Swedish hottie and then settle down with kids and all that?"

"Worked for him." He finished his beer. "And for Happy as well."

"True. We'll, we don't know if it's going to work for Happy yet."

"It'll work." He opened another beer. "You do realize that this is a very clear case of an Electra complex? Not the classical term. I mean as in finding someone like the father as a lover."

"Yup, I've noticed that as well. Very unsettling to be honest." Alex just laughed at her but she wasn't done yet. "On the other hand, if you do as you're planning it's somewhat of and Oedipus complex as well."

"Sure is." He took another sip from hes beer. "But I'm staying away from the redheads."

"What! Why?"

"It's just to incestuous. Not mentioning that they are crazy as fuck."

"Hey! That's not nice."

"You are crazy, and mom is too. I love you both to death but you are crazy."

"You can't talk to me like that anymore. I'm going to be a mother."

Alex almost spit out his beer and then looked at her with big eyes. "Shit! That's true. A mother!" He shook his head. "That's just fucked up. You know, I've always thought about the two of us as that Guided by Voices-song. Seems like you might actually grow up though."

"Pendulum?"

"Yeah." They both smiled and then started to sing together.

"Come on over tonight. We'll put on some Catt Butt and do it up right. No need to get all caught up, in societies stipulation. You're a member of the freak generation. You're gonna burn to have delation.

When the pendulum swings it cuts. When the big door swings open and shuts. Yeah, we'll be middle-age children, but so what."

Then they both started to laugh. They were silent for a while and then Alex smiled again. "Did he really threaten to tie you up to his bike to get you to the lockdown?"

"He told you that?" He knew that they talked now and then, she just hadn't realized it was so detailed, or Happy giving him full reports about their fights.

"So it's true? I like him." He had a smug smile.

"I bet you do. It's not like you've always been nice to me." He had tied her down on a skateboard once and pushed her down a hill. And cut off a huge chunk of her hair and just generally being a prick. Like telling his friends that she liked them, no matter if she did or not. He had been a typical brother. On the other hand, she had been sort of an ass as well.

"Just admit it. You two are exactly what you both need. Just like I need a girl who throws things at me when I'm out of line."

"Is there something he hasn't told you?" She didn't like others knowing that she threw things at Happy, cause she did, embarrassingly often.

"Probably. He's just trying to figure you out. That's all."

"Don't tell him to much. I like it when he's trying to figure me out."

"I know, don't worry. Soon you'll be settled it with two lovely little children, a house and all that stuff."

"You know, it's not like mom and dad got boring when they had us."

"I don't think you'll have to worry about that either. You'll never be boring, Angelface."

Happy was in the kitchen with Alan while Al was on the porch with her brother. Anita had gone home with his mom, probably planing stuff. He took a mouthful of beer and suddenly realized that this was the first time he was alone with Alan. He was trying to decide if it was a god or a bad thing.

"This all reminds me of me and Anita."

"Ok?"

"It could just be you who remind me of me. Be good to her."

"I will."

"She might soon be thirty and on her way to have kids but she'll always be my beautiful daughter." Alan smiled. "You'll soon find out what I mean."

"She told me you used to threaten her dates." Happy had a feeling he might need to know a few of these tricks if he had a daughter, or two.

"Yeah. Bastards, came in with half a stiffy and a car outside. Didn't want them to think they were safe." Alan looked angry just thinking about it. "I mean, seriously, what went through you mind when you were between fifteen and eighteen and was going to take out a girl? Probably the same things that I used to think about."

Happy thought about it, usually the only thing he was thinking about was that he hoped that he would get pussy, or at least a blowjob. Then he realized that someone might think that about his daughter if he had one. Oh shit!

"Anita's dad gave me the best example. Remember how you thought about Alice the first times you saw her."

Happy remembered, he wanted to fuck her, be the one who made bruises on her thighs, have her suck his dick. Generally do all those things he had done to her or she to him.

Alan watched him. "Imagine someone thinking about your daughter that way."

Happy felt sick. He very much hoped that he had sons. There was a very real possibility that he would kill the first guy who

"I suddenly feel and urge to apologize to you."

"Don't worry about it. That wasn't my point. Just... she's my girl, she'll always be my girl. I think that the fact that I work so closely to Alex makes me think of him in another way as well. I see him more as a grown up."

"Makes sense."

"You think? Anita says it's just me being a cave man and a male chauvinist ass."

Happy laughed.

"Still, I can see my daughter for what she is. She's crazy. You're good for her. Don't think you let her get away with her bullshit the way others have."

"No, I don't."

"Good, stick to that and she'll never get bored and she'll love you like crazy."

"I'll remind you of this if she ever leave me."

"She won't. She's like her mother. Crazy as fuck and absolutely amazing and when she has decided for someone she'll stick to them. No matter what." Alan laughed and emptied his beer. "I need to get to bed. See you tomorrow."

Happy thought about it. It was a very good description of Al. Crazy as fuck and absolutely amazing.

18 weeks pregnant and she was big. Gemma laughed at her when she came walking towards her outside the clubouse.

"Sweetie, you're not even half way there!"

"Don't remind me." Alice muttered. "Worst part is that doctor Elizabeth keeps telling me I'm pretty small compared to most women pregnant with twins. How the fuck is that helpful?"

Tara came up and gave her a hug. "You look beautiful, Alice. Really!"

"Have you thought anymore about moving to Charming? With those twins you're going to need you family close."

"Happy's all for it, but honeslty Gemma, I don't have the energy to go house hunting."

"Wouldn't have to sweetie, I've found one for you."

Alice looked at Tara who shrugged with a smile. "You helped too?"

"It's going to be perfect. You need to eat something." Tara said and pushed her towards the clubhouse.

"Jesus Fucking Christ, what is it with everyone and having me eating?"

"Happy gave us your schedule, remember. I gave it to Chuckie, he's got something for you."

Happy and Juice had searched the internet for the perfect diet plan for mothers expecting twins. They were stuffing her face with smoothies and all sorts of food she would usually never eat.

In the beginning Happy had the advantage of saying he wouldn't fuck her if she didn't eat properly. When he realized how well that worked he extended that too make sure everyone reported back to him on her eating throughout the entire day. She told him he made her feel like a the opposite of a whore. She wasn't whoring for food, she was eating to get laid.

Besides the stuffing of her face, he had been great, he wasn't overly protective, he didn't cuddle her to death, he was pretty much as usual, but she knew he was keeping a careful eye on her. And she quite often woke up and felt him stroking her belly.

Lyla came up to them. "You guys seen Ope?"

"Ah, I think he's with the guys." Gemma said. Al immediately knew something was off, and turned her eyes to Tara who looked... weird. There was nothing good going on here and she was right in the middle of it.

"Oh, ok," Lyla sighed. "He didn't come home last night. I'm just worried."

"Oh, I think they had a late one." Gemma said, looking at Tara, and by now Al knew something was wrong. Gemma was lying her teeth out. What the fuck did Ope do? "I'm sure he just crashed here."

"Oh, hm." Lyla said, and it looked like she was about to cry. Of course Gemma caught up on that too. She always did.

"Something wrong?"

By now Al was extremely uncomfortable. She didn't know what was happening and even though she wasn't that close to Lyla, she liked her. Since she didnt know what was going on she didn't know how to act and probably looked like a complete idiot.

Lyla shook her head. "Relly?" Gemma said.

At this point, one of Chuckie's smoothies stuffed with vegetables she didn't like was extremely tempting, as long as it got her the fuck away from here.

She was usually able handled stuff like this, but she was an hormonal, pregnant woman, expecting twins. She didn't deal with anything anymore, she just flipped out. Sometimes by being pissed but usually, she cried. It was freaking Happy out and he said he preferred her throwing hand-grenades at him as long as she didn't cry. She had cried when he said that.

"We're struggling a little." Lyla said. "Lotta' distance, we don't talk much."

"It's just lizard brain, baby. Happens to all guys when they get married."

"Yeah, just give it some time." Tara said. She looked about as comfortable as Alice felt. She would give anyone, including Chuckie, a blowjob if it meant they could get her the fuck away from here.

Saved by the bikes! They rolled in and Lyla started to walk away. Alice didn't even want to know what this was about so she basically ran into the clubhouse and sat down in front of Chuckie.

"Al, I have your smoothie." Chuckie sad and put it on the counter for her. "I added honey, don't tell anyone."

"Oh, thank you, my lips are sealed." She said and tasted it. It was great! She was going to get the receipt form him for this. "This was really good Chuckie!"

"Really, you like it?" He looked so proud. He was easily pleased.

"Best I've had so far, by far. Keep doing these."

Lyla came in, looking really pissed. "Were is she?"

Some blond, Alice knew she was called Ima and that Tara hated her guts, walked in. Lyla looked at her.

"What are you doing here?"

Out of the ashes into the fire. That was all Alice could think. She hadn't exactly met Ima before, she knew she was a pornstar and judging by how she treated Lyla, she was a total bitch.

Then Tig, Bobby walked in and Ima pulled a gun.

"What the fuck!" Was the only thing Alice could think of saying.

Obviously she wasn't only a total bitch, she was a complete fucking idiot as well. How fucking stupid did you have to be to do a thing like that in the fucking clubhouse?

When Gemma walked in she started flipping the gun around and when Alice got off the chair she pointed it directly at her. It wasn't the first time Al had seen a gun, but it actually was the first time someone pointed it straight at her, and she heard ringing in her ears.

She was fucking pregnant! 'You can't point a gun at a pregnant woman', she kept thinking over and over again.

She hardly noticed Lyla running outside but she did notice Tig's back as he got up in front of her, facing Ima. "Get out, get out." she heard, with a calm, but ice cold voice. Tara muttered something and Alice realized she was hyperventilating, holding her stomach.

She could barely hear anything any longer, she just kept looking at the floor. Trying to remember how to breath.

"Shit." It was Tara's voice and her hand on her back. "Al, you need to slow down your breathing."

"What the fuck is wrong with her?" Tig asked.

"She's hyperventilating, we need a paper bag."

"She's panicking?" Tig sounded amazed.

"She's pregnant, more hormonal than a teenage boy and a whore just pulled a gun on her. I think she doing pretty damn good. Call Ope, he's lucky if Hap don't beat him to death after this." Gemma said.

Tara was going on pure instinct, but she was worried. Al wasn't calming down, she held a paper bag over her mouth and nose but she was still hyperventilating. This wasn't good, her body was already working a lot harder than it should with the twins.

"Are you in any pain?"

Al shook her head.

"Honey, you need to slow your breathing."

She moved Alice to the couch, trying to get her comfortable and lying down and instructed her on how to use the bag and telling her when to take it away from the mouth.

Five minutes later Happy was walking though the door. He took one look an Alice and then walked up to her, picked her up and sat down in the couch with her in his lap.

Tara was taken aback, she had seen Happy touch Alice before, kiss her, hug her but that had seem like a way for him to point out that she was his, it was never anything like this. And yet this looked completely natural to him, it wasn't anything new.

Alice was curled up in his lap, her face pressed against his neck, his hand was stroking her back up and down and the other one around her belly. He was talking to her in a calm, whispering voice. She managed to hear some words. "Let your breaths follow my hand, Katze, slowly in and out. Breath all the way down to the stomach."

Alice was finally calming down and if there had any doubt on Tara's behalf weather Happy loved Alice and if he was treating her right, it was gone. Tara had a feeling that it wasn't so much what he was doing that calmed Al down, it was that he was there.

She got up and saw Opie with a cut in his eyebrow. "I'll have a look at that." She said and motioned him to another couch.

"Will she be ok?" He asked and nodded towards Al and Happy on the couch.

"Looks like it." Tara was pissed. "Put some ice on it." She was wondering were the cut came from, she didn't think it was Happy, he would have done more damage.

She started packing her bag and Jax looked up at her. "You ok?"

Was he for real? "What do you think?" She said and walked out. Fucking men and their dicks!

Happy saw Doc leaving, so he assumed that Al was ok for now. She wasn't shaking anymore and when he looked down on her, she was sleeping. He got out of the couch, still carrying her and took her to his room and put her tp bed. Stroking the hair out of her face and kissed her on her forehead.

He met Gemma in the hallway.

"She ok?"

"She's sleeping." He answered. "What the fuck happened?"

"Ima, pulled a gun on us, pointed it right at her. Tig stepped in between them and got Ima out."

"She doesn't scare easily."

"She's pregnant, Hap, hormonal as hell, and that bitched pointed a gun at her, at her babies." Gemma looked at him. "Maternal instincts comes early you know."

She had a point about the hormones, they were driving him insane. She started crying the entire fucking time. About stupid things, like yesterday when she cried when she couldn't open a jar of marmalade. And then she cried about crying. He couldn't handle women who cried and freaked him out. Something she knew, so that made her panic and she cried.

Jax came up behind Gemma. Hap wanted to kill that fucking whore, Ima, pointing a gun at his pregnant Old Lady, was she fucking suicidal?

"I'll handle this, Hap."

"If I ever see that bitch here, I will kill her, in a very painful way."

"I have no doubt, Hap, but I'll handle this." Jax was pulling rank on him, and he knew it. After all, his Old Lady and kid had been in there too.

He got out in the bar and saw a glass of something that looked like green puke on the counter. He pointed at it and turned to Chuckie. "Has she eaten anything?"

"She was just starting when..."

"What the fuck is that?"

"It's all the good stuff, loads of iron and vitamins, all the things she need according to you and Juice."

"Looks like puke."

"She really liked it, said it was the best so far, told me to keep doing it." Chuckie looked insulted. Happy picked up the glass and tasted. It wasn't too bad.

"Put it in the fridge and make sure she eats it when she gets up."

"I'll make a new one instead, more vitamins when it's fresh." Chuckie answered. He assuemd that made sense.

Tig came up. "How is she?"

"Ok, she's sleeping."

"Fucking freaked me out."

"Hey, thanks. Gemma said you stepped between the gun and Al."

"Yeah, well, trying to step inbetween Ima and everyone else. Crazy fucking bitch."

"Ope tapped her?"

Tig just shook his head, "Yeah, guess married life isn't treating him to good."

Happy shrugged. It wasn't any of his business, at least not until Ope's crazy bitches started to wave guns around the clubhouse.

"So, do I even wanna know what you're going to do to that whore?"

"Jax is handling it."

"Pulled rank on you?"

"Yup. Get a free shot if she ever steps inside this house again." He kind of hoped that she would be stupid enough to do that. "Hey, make sure she eats when she wakes up. I have to get back up to the warehouse."

Alice woke up, and for a few seconds she wasn't sure were she was, and then she remembered. Ima and the gun, Hap holding her. She go out of the bed and saw a note taped to the door.

It was Hap's handwriting, just one word, 'EAT!', she laughed. When she entered the bar Tig, Gemma, Piney and Chuckie was there.

"You ok, sweetheart?" Piney asked.

"Think so. Got this from Hap." She held up his note and Tig laughed.

"Chuckie, give the lady some food." he ordered.

Not twenty minutes later she had a smoothie, one of the good ones, bread and pasta with some sauce in front of her.

"Thanks Chuckie, this is great." She started eating.

"When you are done with that, we're going to go look at your new house." Gemma said. "By the way, I didn't do it by my self, Hap asked me to."

"Is everyone ganging up on me?"

"Just... helping you."

"Hmpf."

"You'll like the house."

And she did, it was really good, didn't need much work, just some paint job.

"Wait til you see the best part." Gemma said and pulled her towards the second floor. "The master bedroom."

It was a big bright room, with big windows. "It's really nice Gemma."

"And look here" she opened another door, it was a walk in closet.

"Gemma! I can't even fill this, but it's very nice."

"And if you keep walking, there's a bathroom. And just opposite the hall is a very nice nursery."

"It's great, really, thank you!"

"There's a guest room on the bottom floor, perfect for Hap's mom, she can stay the night sometimes."

"He'll like that."

"So?"

"What?"

"You'll take it?"

"Not sure if we can afford it."

"Don't be ridiculous!"

"I need to talk to Hap you know."

"If you tell him you like it, he'll let you have it. He'd give you the moon after the scare he had today."

"That's just evil Gemma," but she still laughed.

"Need to use what you have, baby." She gave Alice a hug. "You can't live in that neighborhood with kids Al. It's not right."

She had to give Gemma a point there. And it was a nice house, huge, she wouldn't know what to put in it. Which reminded her. She still had quite a lot of stuff in New York. She needed to get that and Hap would not be pleased about it.

They were sitting in the kitchen by the table, she was eating, again, she had however realized that no one noticed how much she was eating, and little but many times was working better with her body.

"We'll buy it if you like it." That was all he said.

"You haven't even seen it, Hap." she tried

"Did you like it?"

"It was nice, big, enough rooms and a guestroom on the bottom floor that would be good for you mom, and big bathrooms, nursery opposite the bedroom and a huge walk in closet for all of our clothes."

"What clothes?"

"That's what I said."

"If you liked it, I'll like it. Buy it."

She really hoped Gemma was right about him being prepared to give her the moon today. She was going to try to use it.

"Hap, I need to tell you something, and you're not going to like it."

His eyes narrowed. "Ok."

She took a deep breath. "I have a lot of stuff in New York, and since I seem to be stuck here on a more permanent basis than I had planed, I need to get it."

"Why wont I like it?"

"Some of it is in a storage, and some of it is still..."

"Where?" She knew that he knew, he looked pissed.

"At Marks house." She admitted.

"You're not going to New York, and most definitely not to Marks house." He didn't just looked pissed. He was pissed.

"I need those things."

"Send Alex." Furious almost. But that could work, she could send Alex, he wouldn't mind.

"Ok, but I'm still going to have to talk to Mark."

"No."

"Hap, I need to talk to Mark, tell him what things I want and where some of it is."

"No."

"I'm going to talk to him, this is just me informing you of what I'm going to do." She tried his own line on him and that caught his attention.

Happy was looking at Al, there was no fucking way she was going to talk to that asshole.

"Tell Alex what he needs to know and then he can go and get it for you."

"Hap, don't be unreasonable, I just need to talk to him, on the phone, that's all."

"No." Was she fucking insane? There was no way in hell he was going to let his Old Lady talk to her ex husband.

He watched her get out of the chair and walk up to him, her big pot belly with his kids inside in front of her. But he was not giving in this time.

"Hap, you know you have nothing to worry about, you can sit next to me and listen to the entire conversation if you like. It's just practical stuff." She sat down in his lap. Bitch always knew how to get to him. "There's things I want, stuff I have spent quite a lot of time collecting."

"What stuff?" He wasn't giving in, he just wanted to know what it was she wanted so bad she would talk to that idiot.

"Movies, comics, books, some... stuff."

"What stuff?" She looked embarrassed.

"Like, hrm, toys. Action figures." He looked at her in disbelief.

"You're shitting me?"

"No. I want them." She looked even more embarrassed, sitting in his lap looking down on her belly. He put his hand on hit, rubbing it.

"I don't want you to talk to him."

"I know, I just want my things."

"Your toys?" He couldn't help it. She was crazy, what grown up obsessed about toys?

"Shut up."

He pulled her down and kissed her. She put her arms around his neck and responded.

"Say it." He needed to hear it.

"I'm all yours, Hap."

"I'm going to sit right next to you."

"Ok."

"I don't like it."

"I know."

"I hate it."

"I know. Considering that one of your whores pulled a gun on me today you kind of owe me." She was brining out the big guns. He kissed her throat.

"I've never been with her."

"Are you sure about that?" He stiffen for a second, thought about it and Al started to laugh. "You suck, you don't even know."

"What? Like you remember all of the guys you've been with."

"Sure do, you want me to give you list?" She said and moved around so that she was straddling him on the chair. "Some of them might go down as 'Huge guy with black hair and tattoo of Lemmy on neck' but I'll remember them all."

"I don't want any fucking list. I don't want to know. As long as I'm the only one since Halloween I really don't give a shit."

"You've been the best since Halloween at least." She mumbled into his neck. He was about to tell her that she shouldn't even fucking joke about that but realized that he couldn't really say the same thing, even if had stuck to his promise to lay off the Crow Eaters, she wasn't the only on since Halloween and she knew it. It was easier to change subject, she could have this one.

"You scared me today."

"I'm sorry. I don't know what happened. I panicked."

"Don't be sorry. Wasn't you fault." He didn't want her to feel bad about it.

"So, you really want us to buy that house?"

"If you liked it."

"I don't know if we can afford it."

"We can." He had no doubt about that. "I'm assuming you're selling this house."

"Sure, I don't need two houses." she said. "And you're ok with moving to Charming?"

"It's better. Closer to everyone, and better for the kids."

"Probably. Guess I wont be needing the gun when I open the door anymore."

"That's too bad. You look very sexy with the gun in your hand." He had actually only seen her do it once, but it sure had caught his attention.

"Even hung over and with a guy in the bedroom?"

"Didn't like the guy in the bed room."

"I very much doubt that you gave a shit at the time." She said into his neck. And she was right.

"Probably not. I did like the bruises on your thighs."

"You've made a couple of those." She smiled. "Not lately though."

"You're pregnant." He didn't want to be rough with her when she was pregnant, that seemed... wrong. She wasn't too happy about it and it did get slightly rough now and then, but he hadn't bruised her.

"Promise me you'll bruise my hips and thighs again when I'm not pregnant anymore."

"Promise. When I can find your hips again, I'll bruise them."

"That's mean!"

"It's true." She hit his arm and got up, giving him glares and he chuckled. He loved teasing her but he still thought she was beautiful and sexy as hell and she knew it.
