Happy POV
I still couldn't believe my lady had put a bullet in a guy's head without second thought. It was sexy but I was worried about her. She could do the shooting but she turned into a squealing girl when Aleksandr and I asked her to help clean it up.
"Ew!" She hopped away from the body again with a smile and laugh. "I just can't do it!"
"Try!" I nodded. "You did this."
She rolled her eyes. "You shot him first and said he was basically dead."
"I did, but that didn't fuckin' mean make the scene messier!" I ran my hands over my face. "You go sit it out. Talk to Lil Hap."
"It's a boy." She said. "The psychic said so."
"I'll believe the doctor, my gut is saying I'm doomed to have a daughter." I laughed. "A pain in the ass smaller version of you."
"I was a good baby." She smiled at me.
"You were worst baby." Aleksandr said, a smirk across his face. "You never shut up."
"That still rings true today, you're always talking Bri." I shook my head. "Go talk to the baby, then we can go to your appointment."
"Lil Hap, your dad is a grump in the face today. He's cute when he's grumpy though." She smirked at me.
"Don't bad mouth me to my kid Brianna. Its disrespectful." I smiled. "I'm going to tell the kid about that time you thought you could hang at FunTown but you couldn't."
"I'm going to be like but he took me there, big bad biker won me four stuffed animals." She stuck her tongue out at me.
"You promised you wouldn't speak of that!" I stood up and gathered her into my arms and tickled her.
"Lowman!" She yelled. "Stoooopppp!"
"Shit." I set her down. "You have blood on your shirt now."
"Oh well." She shrugged. "Get him buried and let's go."
"I want his ears as souvenirs." I smiled.
"Well, you know. Take what you want." She smirked. "Serial killer."
"Again, you killed him." I kissed her. "Hope you didn't use a legal gun."
"I didn't. It has no numbers."
"That's my girl." I smiled at her before Aleksandr and I dragged the chopped up man out of the house.

"Baby and mom both look healthy." Dr. Vargas said as she smiled at us. "You're a little under two months. Any nausea?"
"Only when she's nervous." I responded.
"How often are you nervous?" She asked.
"Not often." Bri shrugged. "I don't feel sick at all if that's what you're getting at. I do get weird hormonal spikes. Like people annoy me and I want to kill them on sight. Obviously I can't but if I could I would."
"That's sort of normal." The Dr cringed. "I recommend walking away and not staying to the point of wanting to draw blood."
"Well I can't help it. It's hormones. I'm normally the sweetest person ever." Bri smiled. She wasn't telling a complete lie. She never tended to get mad unless it was completely necessary.
"Dad, how do you feel about this?" She asked me and I looked at her then at Bri.
"I think it's sexy as hell when she gets mad and tries to go for the kill." I smiled and shrugged. "I like 'em a little crazy."
The Dr smiled at us. "Well, if it works for you then it works. I'll schedule you for another appointment in a few weeks."
"Sounds good." Bri slid off the table. "I have to go pee."
"Thanks." I shook the Dr's hand. "Excuse her lack of manners."
SOASOASOA
Juice POV
I struggled all night and most of the morning on if I should clue the club in on what I found out about Bri. I decided to hold off on it until I talked to her one on one or at least talked to her. At this point I didn't care if she said Happy needed to be present for the conversation.
"Power couple alert." Tig nodded towards the door. Bri and Happy strolled in side by side. They looked like an odd biker couple. Happy looked scary but Bri looked just as scary in her own unique way.
"Hi Juan." Bri smiled at me. "I got your message, let's talk yeah?"
"Yeah." I smiled back. "Let's talk. Outside?"
"Sure." She shrugged and walked back towards the door. I followed her, hoping this wouldn't end with me being shoved into something.
"I did a little digging on you." I blurted as we sat down.
"So?" She searched my face. "What I did there, it has no hold here. Here I'm just a Dr."
"A Dr with a shitload of power." I scoffed.
"Look, Juan." She started. "I don't know what caused you to go looking into who I was when I was married but nothing good will come of it. Believe me."
"What do you mean?" I asked her, all of a sudden feeling dumb for even bringing this search up to her.
"Jax and I hugged it out." She smiled. "If you give this to him, it'll make him more paranoid than ever."
"You hugged it out? With Jax?" I felt my face fall.
"Yeah, in jail. That's not the point though. The point is we're not on the verge of going to war. I suggest that if you want to stay alive and well, you won't go blabbing what you found to the club." She crossed her arms. "If you do, I won't be mad, but I wouldn't be able to call you a friend anymore."
"Speaking of friends." I quickly changed the subject. "How are you and Natalie?"
She laughed. "We're complete shit. All of a sudden she's dating you and I'm not worth her time or effort. I'm sure she used me to further herself."
"She is being petty about shit." I nodded.
"It is what it is." She smiled.
"Congratulations on the baby." I forced a smile.
"Ouch. Don't look so happy for me Juan." She shook her head and stood. "You about to judge me like Tara did?"
"Nope, I'm about to be a dad to a baby I didn't help create. I'm not about to judge you because I don't want to be judged." I smiled.
"You know who her ex is right?" She linked her arm through mine.
I shook my head no. I never even thought to ask Natalie exactly who her ex was. I never thought it to be important but now that Bri brought it up, I just needed to know. "Who?"
"Fiasco." She smirked. "Small ass world right?"
"Very small." I pulled open the doors and we stepped inside. I quickly scanned the space for Natalie but I couldn't find her. She had to be in one of the rooms fast asleep again.
"Play your hand if you need to Juan." She smiled. "I'll be upset but it's business and I get it."
I smiled and nodded, not sure if I should bare her truths to the club just yet. We already had Marks to deal with and he was a massive threat. We didn't need another one breathing down our necks.
SOASOASOA
Bri POV
"Hap." I whispered in his ear. "Juice knows about the Russia shit."
"How?" He looked at me.
"Looked it up." I shrugged. "I think he'll bring it up. I know it's not a huge deal, I just don't want shit to become fucked up over bullshit charges my ex had stuck to me. That shit almost got me kicked from school."
"I know Brianna. If he brings it up, I'll fucking handle him." He glared in Juice's direction. A menacing glimmer in his dark eyes.
"Police!" Juice yelled out as he looked at the monitor set on the bar's corner.
"Fuck." I muttered as I slid off the coach and stood next to Happy who was on edge and ready to guard me at all costs.
"Stay quiet." He kissed me softly. "Don't try to fuckin' talk back to me or the cops if they grab us. Be cool."
"Ok." I nodded as the officers came in like they owned the place. Smug expressions plastered on their faces as they looked around.
"Look at this." The bald sheriff spoke. "Rumors are true, SAMCRO is free."
"Can I help you Roosevelt?" Jax asked from his seat at the bar.
"Yes, actually. You can tell me how you managed to get sprung." He smiled.
"Well Sheriff, we got family who cares about us." Jax smirked.
"I don't doubt that. I'm interested in that family." He looked around and stopped when his eyes landed on me. I shifted uneasily and Happy stepped out in front of me. "Miss Hohrykova." He walked over to us.
I swallowed hard. "It's Dr. Hohrykova." I managed to get out.
"Well," he chuckled. "Another Dr?"
"Yeah." Jax said. "Starting a collection."
"You, Dr. Hohrykova. I'm afraid I need to take you in." Roosevelt smiled at me. I wanted to slap the look off of his face.
"For what?" I asked as I stepped around Happy.
"Let's see, disorder, assault, possession." He read off the paper in his hand.
I laughed. "You have the wrong sister. Those are Nikola's charges."
"I'm going to have take you down to the station anyways." He said. "This looks like you." He tapped on the piece of folded paper.
"She's my sister!" I yelled. "Don't touch me." I shrugged his hand off my shoulder. "I'll go with you but not in cuffs."

"Miss Katarzyna Hohrykova." Roosevelt said as he entered the interview. I was sitting in a hard metal chair. My right hand cuffed to the table in front of me.
"Dr. Hohrykova." I smiled. "Let's get down to it."
"You bailed all the guys out, correct?" He sat down across from me.
"I did do that." I nodded. "What's it to you?"
"They're outlaws. I want to know why a doctor would put up money and collateral to bail out a handful of outlaws."
I shrugged. "I'm dating one of them."
He leaned back and smirked. "Of course you are. Let me guess, you're Teller's side chick? He has a thing for doctors and blondes."
I shook my head. "Nope. Not Teller."
"Juan Carlos?" He asked. "He seems like he could be your type."
I laughed. "Nope. Not Juice either. I'm with Happy."
His mouth fell open. He wasn't expecting that at all. "Happy Lowman?"
"Yes. Happy Lowman." I smiled. "If you cannot tell by the smiley faces all over me." I flashed the ring on the chain around my neck and the barbell in my tongue. "True love."
"I'll never understand why the gorgeous ones throw away love on an outlaw who can't be saved." She shook his head.
"I'm not trying to save him or change him. I'm just loving him and he's loving me right back." I tapped the table in front of me. "What do you want Sheriff?"
"I want to know how you linked up with a known criminal?" He folded his hands on the table. "You were born in Russia, spent time in the Ukraine and Scotland before ending up in New York before settling over here. How'd you go from daughter of an arms dealer to an old lady?"
I shrugged. "I met him through his mom." I smiled. "Am I being charged for anything?"
"Nope. Might hold you for questioning a little longer." He stood.
"I cannot stay here. I'm pregnant." I rattled the cuff against the table.
"Jesus." He ran a hand over his bald head. "I'll let you go but keep your nose clean Dr. Would hate to see you get taken down like Tara. She can't even work in Saint Thomas because of the club."
"Well thank God I work in SF and not Charming. I don't even live here." I smiled.
"Still, don't fall too far in." He smiled as he uncuffed my hand.
"Oh, I won't." I smiled at him. "You should play nice more often. It suits you real well Sheriff."
"I can't play nice with outlaws." He shook his head as he pulled the door open and let me walk out before him. "I got my eyes on you AND the club."
"Why'd you think I was with Teller?" I turned back to him.
"He's the president." He grinned. "I thought every female went after him."
"You were mistaken. I like the scary ones. Jax is too pretty. We'd fight over the mirror in the morning and hair product." I laughed and he joined in.
"Thanks for that image." He smiled as he walked me down the steps of the station. "Stay out of trouble."
"I will try my hardest." I gave him a small wave. "Ooomph. My ride is here."
"Take care Doc." He waved
"You too." I nodded.
"Leave it to your ass to make friends with the guy who hauled your ass down here." Happy shook his head as his hands found my hips. "You good though Bri?"
"I'm fine. Let's go." I smiled at him. "We can't fuck here."
He frowned at me. "You never let me have any public lovin'."
"Lies." I shook my head. "There was the beach, the pier, FunTown, countless others. Remember the dressing room in Nordstrom?"
"Yeah." He gave me a sheepish grin. "I hate to do this but I got orders to bring you back to the clubhouse."
"Of course." I frowned at him.
"Baby girl." He rasped. "Don't fight it, just talk to him and then we can leave."
"Do you think I look like I'd be into Jax?" I watched him climb on his bike.
"Yup." He laughed. "You're looking a little white trash."
I let my mouth fall open and smacked him. "I can't believe you just said that shit Happy. I'm going to tell Ma you're being a grump in the face!"
"Nah. Don't do that." He smirked. I slid on the back of his bike and held on to him tightly. He started his bike and pulled off, driving a little more reckless than normal the short distance back to the clubhouse.
#
I found Jax not in the chapel but in his old apartment at the back of the clubhouse. When I walked in he was writing in a small notebook. I clenched my jaw and tapped him on the shoulder. Pulling him out of his thoughts.
"Bri." He rasped. His voice was pleasant but didn't have the same affect on me that Happy did when his voice was low and raspy.
"Jax." I blinked down at him.
"What'd he want to know?" He patted his bed and I sat down.
"Why I bailed you out and my connection to you. Can you believe he thought I was with you?" I laughed. "I told him the bare bones, I'm with Happy and I bailed you out because of that and nothing more."
"Good." He smirked. "We'd make a good looking couple."
I rolled my eyes. "You're not my type Jackson Teller. I like my men brown and with tattoos all over."
He laughed. "I tried." He stood up and I did the same and we both walked out of the apartment.
"One day your mouth will get you in trouble with Happy." I sighed. "Keep it in check, no disrespect."
"Noted." He smirked and went a different way while I looked for Happy. Who I found sitting on one of the leather sofas. Trashy croweaters talking to him.
I met his gaze and narrowed my eyes at him and he just shrugged in response. I stalked over to him and the two women scattered away like roaches. "Seriously?"
"What?" He smirked.
"You're trying to get a rise out of me." I crossed my arms. "I can't fight now babe."
"Come here." He pulled me down onto his lap. "I like when you're all jealous and shit."
"Noo." I smiled. "They can have you if they want you, I'm not jealous. I'm territorial and hate sharing."
"I hate sharing. I get jealous." He smirked slightly. "You're mine."
"I'm yours." I grinned. "Killer."
"Queen." He squeezed my legs. "Here comes your best friend."
"Kozik!" I yelled out, he smiled. Both puppies at his booted feet.
"Banana." He said. "Tacoma is a bitch just like you."
"Watch it." Happy sneered.
"I need to talk with you two at the house if you come back later Herman." I slid off Happy's lap. "It's important shit. Involves the Family and your fuck buddy Nikola."
He smirked at me. "Nik." He sighed. "Girl knows how to take a pop shot to the face without closing her eyes. It's a heavenly sight."
"Ha!" I shook my head. "She loves a White Christmas."
"What?" He looked at me with intrigue in his eyes.
"Nothing." I laughed.
"Telllll me." He grabbed my arms. "Brianna Banana."
"It's a more acceptable term for a facial. I can't go around saying oh my sister likes getting her face blasted with sperm." I shook my head. "White Christmas."
"Perfect movie title for a porn film." He chuckled. "Going to pitch it to Jax."
SOASOASOA
Juice POV
I was sitting at the bar when Natalie came rushing back into the clubhouse. She had left earlier to meet a friend for lunch and it was just now nearing nine. I had been a little worried and had texted and called her but she hadn't responded to anything.
"Babe." She whispered. "Can we talk in private?" She looked at me with scared eyes and I could tell she had been crying.
I slid off my stool and grabbed her hands. Taking her to the back away from eyes and open ears. When we were safely tucked away into my old room I looked at her and frowned. "What happened?"
"I fucked up so bad." She cried. Pulling at her hair with trembling fingers.
"What did you do?" I pushed away from her so I could really take in her appearance.
"I was at lunch and a police officer picked me up and I sort of told him some shit that I probably shouldn't have about Bri." She shook her head. "I was just scared and I wanted to get out of there!"
"What exactly did you say to him?" I asked her.
"I just mentioned the Family. I didn't say shit about the club or anything about you." She sat on the bed and her body started shaking with sobs. "I didn't mean to. It just happened."
"I believe you." I lied. "We have to tell Bri."
"I can't. I really can't! She will KILL me." She covered her face with her hands. "I fucked her over and I can't make it right. J, I'm going to get killed by her or Happy when I have Luna. I just know it will happen."
I pulled her into a hug. "I'll protect you but you have to tell her. So she'll be prepared."
"Will you go with me to tell her?" She asked and all I could do was nod. I knew Bri would be out for blood as soon as she heard the news, but I doubted that I could fully protect Natalie. Not only had she put her so called best friend in the line of fire but it also put my club in the line of fire and that was something that didn't sit right with me. I didn't think she spilled her guts on accident, something more had to have happened.
Oh what? Bet you guys didn't see that coming? If you did, well I need to become a better writer. Lol leave it to Natalie to disturb the peace.
