That... Equipment

Ava walked into the house holding Leon's hand. She couldn't hear a sound but she still yelled as threw her bag on the floor.

"Happy!" No answer. She knelt down in front of Leon and started to take off his jacket. "Do you think your sister is home?"

He nodded, "We can scream."

"Ok, you scream with me on three? One... two... Grace!" They screamed Grace's name together and Leon giggled.

Still no answer. "She's not here."

"Doesn't look like it," she sighed. "Come on, let's start dinner and then we'll try to call them. She's probably with Peter."

"Daddy?"

"Probably still at work. I'll call him first."

She went into the kitchen and Leon ran off to play. She picked up the phone and called Happy.

"Babe, all good?"

"Yes, I just got home. Is Grace at the garage?"

"No, she was here but said she had to go home."

"Ok."

"She's not there?" Overprotective dad in action, Ava thought with a smile.

"No, she's probably with Peter, don't worry about it."

"Call me if she's not home in an hour, she seemed a bit off."

"Baby, don't worry."

"Just call."

"I'll call."

She continued with the dinner and once it was in the oven she went to find Leon. He was sitting in the hallway outside the bathroom upstairs.

"What are you doing here, honey?"

"Grace is crying."

"What?" Ava looked up a the door. "Is she in there?" Leon nodded and still looked worried. "Gracie, Sweetheart, are you in there?"

"Go away!" She heard from inside the bathroom.

Ava looked at Leon. "Why don't you to to your room. I'll take care of Grace, ok?"

He glared at her for a while and then he nodded and walked away. Ava stood and looked at the door for a while and tried to figure out what the hell this was about. She knocked on the door again.

"Grace, please talk to me." The only answer she got was low sobs. "Baby, your making me very worried here." There was still no answer and she started to look at the door, if there was anyway to open it. She wouldn't be able to kick it in, she would have to call Happy for that but she wanted that to be the last resort, it might scare Grace or just piss her off.

She tried to plead for a few more minutes and finally she leaned her forehead to the door, she was extremely worried by now. "Gracie if you don't open the door I'm going to have to call your dad and have him open it."

"NO!" Finally, some kind of reaction, "You can't call dad, please!"

"Then open the door honey and let's talk about it." There was a long silence and finally she heard the lock turn, she sighed in relief as she opened the door.

Grace's eyes were red ans swollen, she'd been crying for a long time, even her nose was red. Ava went inside and pulled her in for a hug.

"I-I-I'm bleeding."

"Are you hurt?" She leaned back to look at her.

"NO!" She got angry again and pushed Ava away. "You know what I mean." And when she said that Ava understood.

"Oh, honey. That's nothing to be upset about."

Grace stomped her foot in the floor. "I don't want it!"

"Come with me to the kitchen, lets sit down."

"NO!"

It wasn't often Grace was angry with her, that 'privilege' was most often Happy's and even if Ava hated it when they argued, she was kind of relived about it. Grace was a storm when she got worked up.

"Ok, we can sit here." She sat down on the floor and Grace sat down on the toilet. "Why is this making you so upset?"

"I don't know." Grace looked at her hands. "Please don't tell anyone."

"I won't but you've got nothing to be embarrassed about."

"I don't want anyone to know."

"It's no-one's business so just don't tell them."

She had a hunch that she knew what this was about. Grace was surrounded by men and guys, there wasn't much talk about periods there and if it was, mostly that you couldn't fuck a girl with it. Early on she had tried to shield Grace from all that talk but it was completely futile and guys didn't like bleeding women. Maybe with the exception of Tig.

The other side was the girls in her school who bragged about it and that was the girls that Grace hated.

"Honey, we won't tell anyone, I promise."

"Ok."

They sat in silence again and she took Grace's hands, she slid down from the seat and into Ava's lap, it was as if she was trying to be a little girl again.

That's how Happy found them when he came home and got into the bathroom. He looked at Grace.

"Hey. Lemmy said you were crying."

"It's nothing, honey, go and take the food out of the oven." It was better if she could get him to leave before Grace exploded again.

Obviously he didn't listen and he walked inside. "Grace, did someone do something to you?"

Ava sighed, Happy was already working himself up.

"Honey, leave her alone."

"No, I'm not doing that. Baby Girl, what's wrong?" He knelt down next to her and Grace looked at him, Ava took a deep breath, this could get bad.

"I'm bleeding from my pussy, ok? Can you leave me alone now?"

Ava had to bite her cheeks and Happy looked like he'd swallowed a pineapple whole. "Oh!"

"Yeah, oh! Get out!" Grace said and Happy swallowed a couple of times before he got up and backed out of the bathroom, still with big eyes and an utterly shocked look.

He closed the door and Ava tried but finally she started to laugh. "I'm sorry but really..."

Grace started to laughed as well. "Did you see his face?"

"I did." She kissed her daughters cheek. "I love you, Grace."

"He's gonna look like that every time he looks at me for weeks. That's why I didn't want to tell him."

"Maybe you could've added some sugar to it when you said I or at least avoided the word pussy."

"I hate it when he does that, just don't go away even when I tell him to."

"Honey, you know him, if you're upset he just want's to make sure you're ok and seeing you all tearful is always going to set him off."

Grace hugged her. "Can I just got to my room?"

"Sure. I'll get you some food. Do you need painkillers?"

Grace nodded, "And some tea."

She kissed her cheek and they got up from the floor. "Go and lie down, if it hurts it can help to put a blanket around the stomach."

She followed her into the room and watched her lay down and put a blanket over her. As she was about to leave the room she heard almost whisper.

"Mom."

"Yes, sweetheart."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. I'll be back in a while."

She walked by Leon on the couch and gave him a kiss before continuing into the kitchen. She almost laughed when she saw Happy leaning against the counter. She walked up to him and put her arms around his waist.

"How are you doing, big guy?"

"Did she just say that to me?"

"She did." She looked up at him and smiled. "You're going to have to work very hard to forget that because if you look like that the next time she sees you she'll be heartbroken."

"What?"

"She didn't want you to know and I'm not surprised. The way you talk about women and period at the club, I can't really blame her." She moved her arms to around his neck and pulled him closer for a kiss. "So wipe that look off of your face or don't talk to her until you know you can do that."

"Ok. And?"

"And don't think about it and what it means."

"What it means?"

"That she technically can get knocked up."

The horror in his face made he laugh again and she ran off before he managed to collect himself. She didn't get far though and he caught her and pinned her to the freezer.

"Are you two trying to kill me today?" But he was smiling and leaned towards her.

"No, I was just trying to make you snap out of it."

"Thank you. You have better ways to calm me down."

"I do." She kissed him again. "It's not a big thing and she doesn't want it to change things between you two. She's worried."

"Why would it change things?"

"It shouldn't. So please keep doing what you're doing."

-o0o-

Happy looked down at Ava, sleeping next to him and kissed her forehead. She sighed in her sleep and hugged him closer. He turned towards her and carefully stroke her back for a while. Then he gave her another kiss and snuck out of the bed.

The first stop was in Lemmy's room and he closed the window and pulled up the cover. Then it was Grace's room. She was on her side, curled up with the cover between her legs and the cover hugged in her arms. He turned off her light and kissed her shoulder before going back to Ava.

When he woke up the next morning he found Ava in the kitchen and took a cup of coffee.

He sat down next to her and pulled her book away. She got that annoyed expression that she always did when he did that so he gave her a kiss.

"I'm thinking about taking her out for a ride."

"Good. Give me the book."

Happy smiled and held the book out of her reach. "Gonna cost ya'."

She glared at him. "A kiss?"

"Blow job."

"Now?" She got up and straddled his lap, rubbing up against him. "Stuff like that might've put me off track five years ago but I've been living with a perv since then."

"You've been living with Tig?"

"Got him in the closet. Like a little closet perv."

"Nothin' closet about his pervness." He grabbed her neck and kissed her. When she held his cheeks and rubbed her crotch against his and he was getting hard. "You better stop that, babe."

"Wanna give me my book?"

"You tease."

"Take our daughter on a ride and I'll rub up on you tonight."

-o0o-

She hadn't said a single word, not when he stepped into her room and threw her the helmet, not when they bough ice cream and not during the five minutes they'd been sitting on the bench.

"Grace..." that was how far he got before she interrupted him.

"If you tell me I'm a women now I'll slap you with this cone."

"Ehh, no!" That wasn't what he was going to say and he didn't even want to think about her as 'a woman'. "I was going to apologize for yesterday. I should've left you alone."

She rolled her eyes. "Like that's ever gonna happen if I'm upset."

"No. it's not, but I can still apologize for when I don't."

They were quiet for a while and he held her close to him and kissed her head. She took a deep breath.

"Promise me you won't tell the others."

"I promise."

"No like; let's have a party my daughter is a women."

"People do that?" It sounded very fucked up to him.

"Some people." He saw the corner of her mouth lifting and he knew she had the same screwed up images in her head as he had.

"We could have a red velvet cake with the text 'Grace's pussy is bleeding'."

She burst into laughed and stared at him. "Dude! You didn't just say that."

"You said it to me."

"I was upset when I did and you just refereed to my.. ehhh... as a..."

"Don't... say it again. I'm fine with both of us pretending you don't have that... equipment."

"Dad! 'Equipment'?"

"Yeah, that area is like a black spot on a map for me."

She was about to say something and the she closed her mouth. She took another breath. "I think I'm gonna treat your 'equipment' the same way. Or like the anatomy of a Ken-doll."

He wasn't really sure what she meant by the doll-thing but it was probably something good. "Deal," he said and gave her a kiss on her cheek.

Grace was finally smiling again and he stroke her hair. She was growing up and it was... weird. He had tried to ignore the fact that she was getting... breasts. He had also spent the last twelve hours trying to ignore the fact that a they now could add PMS to her list of hormonal problems.

"Dad."

"Yes, Sugar."

"Tell me you love me."

"I love you, Sugar. You know that."

"And that I'll always be your Baby Girl."

"Always, that won't ever change."

"Even if I get like D-cups and an hourglass figure."

"Even then." He kissed her again. "You'll always be my baby girl."

"I love you too."

"And I'll always be your favorite biker."

"Obviously." She leaned her head against him and looked up to kiss his cheek. "You're my dad."
