There's been quite a few of you asking for a one shot taking place shortly after Ava found out that Happy was cheating. This is one of them. I'm not giving any promised but there might be more of them coming up. This one takes place about three months after "Remember That."

Less worried?

Ava woke up with her heart in her throat by the screams coming from Grace's room down the hall. She was out of the bed in a second and ran towards her room. When she came inside Grace was sitting up, still screaming with tears running down her cheeks.

"Honey, it's fine. I'm here," she said as she sat down in the bed and put her arms around Grace. She hushed her and rocked her back and forth while still holding her. "It's ok, honey. You're safe."

That's when she heard the cries from Lemmy's room.

"I'm sorry, mom," Grace said with and looked so sorry.

"Don't be." She took Grace's hand. "Go into our bed and I'll bring Lemmy there as well."

"Where's Ha-Dad?" Grace was still just getting used to calling Happy dad and slipped up sometimes. It hadn't escaped Ava that Happy still got the biggest smile whenever she did.

"He's still in Rogue River."

He'd been there for four days. She didn't want to talk about it. It still stung and every time he'd left since she found out about him cheating she's felt sick. He knew that and he told her to not worry but she did. She walked into Lemmy's room, picked him up and carried him into the bedroom. Grace was already in bed on Happy's side and when Lemmy saw her he reached for her. He curled up next to her and Ava laid down on the other side of him, holding both her kids.

They soon calmed down and fell asleep but she couldn't. It had been enough trouble falling asleep the first time with all those clear visuals of Happy fucking some sweetbutt. Finally she caved in. He'd told her to call when she worried and he always knew when she had been and last time he'd almost been pissed about it. Pointing out that he was alone in the fucking bed and he wanted her to call instead of worrying.

She got out of the bed, picked up her phone and went down to the kitchen. While boiling the water she took a deep breath and called him. Hoping he was serious about wanting her to do that.

"Hey, baby," he said and it was quiet wherever he was.

"Hi." She wasn't sure how to continue.

"Worrying?"

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't..."

"Tell me you haven't been up worrying until now?"

"No. Grace woke me up."

"Nightmares?"

"Yes. And she woke up Lemmy and then I couldn't fall asleep." She took the pot from the plate and poured water into a cup. "Are you outside?"

"Yeah, having a smoke with Jax." She could hear his smile and then Jax yelling in the background.

"I'm sorry, again." She felt bad and the fact that she felt bad made her pissed. She had every right to be worried but at the same time... This was one of the reasons she had been so reluctant to forgive him. It would be like a black cloud over them. It's like a stain that never disappears no matter how much she rubs. She just couldn't let it go. Surprisingly, sex was easier now. It was like she needed to make sure he was satisfied and they had a lot of sex. He seemed as surprised as her by that. It was also about having him close, she needed him close to her.

"Babe, don't be sorry. It's ok. I asked you to call. Don't want you lying awake."

"Ok. I'm gonna go and read a bit before I try to get some more sleep."

"Do that. How are the kids?"

"Fine. They're asleep again." She sighed, took a deep breath. "I love you."

"Good. Keep that up."

She laughed. "I'll do my best. Will I see you tomorrow night?"

"Yeah. Sleep tight, babe."

Ava hung up and walked upstairs again. They had an armchair in the bedroom with a small table next to it. She sat down in it and turned on the light. A quick look at Grace and Lemmy made her convinced she could get away with sitting in there for some reading.

-o0o-

Happy hung up the phone and turned to Jax. They'd stopped at a gas station for some coffee and sugar to keep them going the coming two hours. They'd been done in Rogue River sooner than expected. When Jax had asked if anyone wanted to head home with him, Happy jumped the opportunity. He knew Ava was worried, she had no reason to be but he couldn't blame her for it so he wanted to surprise her.

"All good at home?" Jax asked.

"Yeah. Grace had nightmares and Ava had some trouble going back to sleep."

"Ready to roll?"

"Yeah."

They sat up and took off. Just over two hours later he walked into the house. It was quiet. He dropped off his clothes and stuff in the washroom and took a quick shower in the downstairs bathroom before going up to their bedroom.

He halted in the doorway. The bed was full. All of them were in it and he couldn't help to smile. He stood there or a few seconds to figure out what the fuck he was supposed to do now. He walked over to Ava's side and squatted down next to the bed. Gently, he stroke her hair out of her face and gave her a kiss.

"Happy?" She rubbed her eyes. "What are you doing home?"

"Jax and I took off early."

"I just talked to you."

"Wanted to surprise you," he nodded towards the kids filling his side of the bed. "Doesn't look like you missed me that much."

"You can fit. Just push them towards the middle."

He gave her a kiss. "I was hoping for some post ride pussy."

"Is that so?" she said with a laugh. "If you were a bit younger we could've done it outside the bed even if it's post ride but..." He didn't let her finish and kissed her.

"I've been on the bike for hours," he mumbled against her lip. "Post ride pussy is me on my back."

"I know. Get in the bed, we'll be bad parents tomorrow morning and put them in front of the TV and go back to bed to get you some pussy."

"Sounds good." He gave her another kiss.

She pulled Lemmy closer to her and he pushed Grace a bit as well then got into the bed. He didn't think this would work and he was right. He woke up two hours later and gave up. Instead he went into Grace's room and took her bed.

When he woke the next time it was a full bed again and noticed he was once again in a full fucking bed since both kids had decided to get into the bed with him. And this was a kids bed.

"Hi, dad," Grace said and kissed his cheek. He still fucking loved to hear her say 'dad'. "You're in my bed."

"You were in my bed," he said and smiled when she giggled and Lemmy snuck up on his chest. He put his arm around Lemmy and pulled Grace into a hug. "Where's mom?"

"In the kitchen, she's making breakfast and told us to wake you and tell you to go to your bed. We're gonna watch a movie in here."

Sounded like Ava was already on the 'occupying the kids'-detail so he'd go and wait for her, in a while. He'd missed the kids too and he gave Lemmy a kiss.

"What's been going on here while I was gone?"

"I had a nightmare," Grace mumbled and then she suddenly smiled. "And we've been planning Lemmy's birthday party."

"You and mom?" Lemmy was lying on his arm and gave him a big smile when Grace mentioned the birthday party.

"No. Me and Gemma." She got out of the bed and pulled his hand. "Come on! It's breakfast."

"You said I could go back to my bed," he chuckled. He hadn't thought for a seconds she'd let him. And when Lemmy pulled as well he picked him up and followed them downstairs.

Ava was standing at the counter and he put down Lemmy on the floor and put her arms around her from behind. He kissed her cheek. "There was a flaw in you plan."

"Trust me, honey, there's no flaw in my plan," she answered and rubbed her ass against this dick. "I'm good at planning."

"I think I need a pair of jeans." Could walk around the kids with just boxers and a hard on. She laughed behind him when he went to the washroom.

He had breakfast with Lemmy in his knee and Grace next to him and it was great. Really. And in the middle of a conversation about the Mary Poppins musical Grace had seen with Pete he looked up and saw Ava smiling at him. It was the most honest smile he'd had from her in months and he smiled back, interrupted by Grace hitting his arm.

"You're not listening!"

"Sure I am." He looked at her. "They were dancing with cartoons."

"Yes. I liked that song. We're gonna rehears it so we know it." She looked at Lemmy. "Wanna watch a movie with me?"

When he looked at Ava she winked and started to clear the table.

"Let's get upstairs and let mom clean up." He stood up and Grace took his hand again.

It was strange. The last few months he'd been really content with this dad-stuff. He knew why. He'd been so fucking freaked out when he realized that Ava was close to taking off. The entire 'family man'-shit was looking a lot better now. Grace was jumping up the stairs ahead of him.

"Did you meet Big Al?"

"Yeah.," he said absently while trying to stay behind her so she wouldn't fall down if she slipped.

"Did you see his boys?"

"Yeah." His heart almost stopped when she stumbled a little. "Sugar, can you just walk properly, at least in the stairs?"

"I am walking."

He took a deep breath when they were finally up the stairs and she ran into her room. He fucking hated her in the stairs. Happy followed with Lemmy and put him in her bed. Grace was already putting a dvd into the player.

Ava heard them go upstairs and cleaned up the kitchen. When she heard Happy saying he was going to take a shower she smiled and went upstairs as well. She looked into Grace's room and saw the two of them in her bed, watching a cartoon.

"You two ok?"

"Sure, mom." Grace didn't even bother to look at her.

Happy was still in the shower and she pulled off her nightgowns and stepped inside with him.

"Told you I had a plan."

"Does the plan mean I'll get some?"

"Obviously," she laughed and put her arms around him. "Missed you."

"Good," he gave her a kiss.

There were so many other things she wanted to say and ask him but she wouldn't. She knew she couldn't keep worrying and yet she did. Worried like hell. Happy was holding her cheeks, looking at her. Probably knowing exactly what she was thinking about.

"Grab my dick, babe." When she did he closed his eyes for a second and groaned. Then he opened his eyes again. "It's rock hard because I've been jerking off thinking about you, just like this, for the last four days."

"Ok," she smiled and gave it a couple of strokes.

He kissed her and thrusted into her hand. They kept kissing and he turned off the shower. With his mouth still on hers and she with her hand around his dick, he led her outside and grabbed a towel on the way. He didn't stop kissing her. Not even when he put the towel around her hair to dry off most of the water.

Finally he took her hand from his dick and nodded towards their bed. "Get down there."

"Fine."

He laid on top of her. "I know I'm not as smart as you but I'm not an idiot."

"Ok?" She had no idea where he was going with this.

"So you don't have to worry."

"I'm sorry."

"No. That wasn't my point." He smiled when his hand stroke the inside her thigh and she closed her eyes. "My point was..." he gave her a light kiss, "It won't happen again, I'm not an idiot and I know you're not giving me any more chances. But I get why you're worried and it's my own fault so call me, ask me shit or whatever the fuck you need. Let me know so I can try to make you feel better."

She placed her hands on his cheeks and smiled. "Ok. At the moment I just need you to keep moving that hand to make me feel better."

His fingers slipped inside her and she closed her eyes again. He did this so good and she pulled him down for a kiss. When he relaxed she felt his warm, very stiff dick agains her thigh. She moved her arms around him to get him closer and moaned into his mouth. Happy's lips turned into a smile and he leaned his forehead to hers and began to rub her clit with his thumb. It got to her every time and he knew it but she tried to keep her eyes open so she could see his eyes. The smile on his lips grew even bigger when he saw it.

When her stomach started to tense and her legs automatically spread wider, he moved down and flickered her nipple with his tongue and that's when she closer her eyes again. The things this man did to her blew her mind. And he loved doing it, loved watching her come. To try to keep quiet she put her hand over her mouth and moaned into it when she came around his fingers. When he didn't stop the movement she took his wrist to stop him, she was too sensitive and needed a few moments. He kissed her cheek.

"Missed me?"

"Yes. Missed your dick too."

"Think there's quite some time left of that movie and then I'm calling Gemma."

"Are you planning a full day?"

"Yes." In one swift move he was all inside of her. "All day in bed with my wife."

-o0o-

Happy looked at Ava who was half asleep on his arm. He'd called Gemma to get the kids for a while and she agreed. That was pretty much hit and miss though. She might as well have asked him to go and fuck himself. Luckily it was a big club and Ava had been babysitting more than once to give someone a day by themselves so there was always someone willing to take the kids for a while.

Ava seemed pleased and he turned towards her, kissing her beautiful face and when she opened her golden eyes he smiled.

"Less worried?"

"A little."

"Want me to buy you some bling?"

She laughed and kissed his chin. "No. I don't want any bling."

"Anything else?"

He wanted to know what else he could do. He knew it hadn't been long and he'd probably be halfway in the doghouse for longer and he was fine with that. He just didn't want her to feel bad for being worried. This wasn't her fault and he needed her to understand that it wouldn't happen again. No fucking way would he fuck up like that again.

Ava was quiet while still looking at him. "Next time you're jerking of you could give me a call. I could help you."

Happy laughed. He loved his Old Lady but she wasn't much for talking dirty. She liked it when he did but she still tended to get all red and stuttered when she answered him. He kissed her cheek.

"You could give me a call if you're wet and are missing me." It would at least give him something new to tease her about when she called.

-o0o-

Ava was in bed when she picked up the phone.

"Baby, please tell me you're calling cause you're all wet," Happy chuckled.

She laughed and laid down in the pillows. "Soaking. Wish you were here so you could get that big cock balls deep in me."

There was a brief silence. "Jesus fucking Christ!"

"Hard?"

"Oh, babe, you've got no idea."

"I think I do." She got even further down in the bed and carefully stroke her belly. She had no idea how to do this but she was pretty sure Happy did. He knew every damn kind of sex so why not this. "And I'm all naked, in bed, so tell me what you'd do to me if you were here."

"Oh, fuck." Happy laughed. "I love you, babe. Get comfortable and get that hand down there."
