Happy POV

"So it's settled." Jax said as he looked at each of us in the eyes. "We're going after the Eagle. Regardless of the situation that went down with Bri. They tried to take us out and we can't let that go. We have to get right with it."

Bobby knocked his fist against the table. "I agree, we do need to let them know we're not just laying down."

"But, it doesn't make sense." I said. "We don't need to attack."

"You just saying that for your lady?" Bobby asked me with a shit eating grin.

"Nah, she knows that regardless of the situation that Jax would still pursue the Eagle." I sighed. "She's not dumb by any fucking means."

"She's not going after them?" Jax asked me.

"Nah. Why would she if we are?" I shook my head. "You're taking out a common enemy."

"I assumed she would have more motive to attack." He shrugged.

"She's pregnant. She's not going to do any dumb shit." I rolled my eyes. "That's not even the point. How are we getting in to take them out?"

"I've been watching for Russian movement." Juice said. "Viktor's funeral brought in over 4 dozen Russian Mafia members. All of them are the Family. They are under Bri's control."

"Go on." Chibs moved his hand in a circle.

"Bri has them put up all over the bay. Frisco, Oak, San Jose, Vallejo, Union City." He said. "That's not our problem, they're friendly. This death also brought in Bri's step dad, he is the true power behind the Eagle. Bri's mom is nothing. She is the leader of guys who are loyal to her."

"So the Russians are gearing up for their own internal war." Bobby scoffed.

"Basically." Juice said. "So we take out her mom, her step dad and Bri are both happy. Blood is on our hands and not theirs."

"Shit." Jax said. "She knew this would happen." He smacked the table. "Viktor's death set this shit in motion. Tit for tat. His death was a hit. Now there's a war brewing and we're in the middle of it."

"We are fucked if the step dad backs up the mom." Tig said.

"When's the funeral?" Jax asked.

"Soon." I shrugged. "Police have his body. They're gonna put an empty box I to the ground."

"That's sad." He sighed. "Alright, we just go in after her mom, swift and clean. That's the plan, we're sticking with it."

"Alright Prez." I said. "I'm standing at your side, but you gotta make sure I make it out alive. I got a son on the way, need to be there for him and his mom."

"We'll all make it out." He said. "I'll make sure of that."

I nodded and he banged his gavel against the table. I stood and slowly walked out, waiting for Juice and Kozik, before nodding towards the doors.

"Idiot." I grabbed Juice. "You shouldn't tell Jax shit."

"He told me to keep an eye out on any Russian movement." He pulled my hands off of him.

"So what." I rubbed my head. "You just put Bri in more danger. The club could use her as a bargaining chip."

"They would never." He shook his head.

"Jax is unpredictable. He could pull some shit like that." I shoved him backwards into Kozik. "You just put a target on her back, that she worked to remove." I stormed off to my bike. "Thanks a lot idiot."

"Brianna!" I yelled out for her as soon as I walked into the house. "Brianna!"

"What?" She yelled back. "I'm in the nursery baby!"

I walked fast to her and found her sitting in the corner in the glider, a stuffed bear in her lap.

"What's wrong?" My stomach dropped.

"Nothing." She smiled. "I'm just eager. I just want to hold him already."

"Me too." I smiled at her. "Listen, Juice told the club some Intel about where your Russians are staying while in the states for the funeral services."

"I don't care." She shrugged. "I stepped down earlier. It's all in Aleksandr's hands now babe."

"You did?" I smiled at her.

"Yeah babe, it's stupid for me to be the head of the Family when all I wanna do is be a mom and a wife." She sighed. "I know you're going to make an honest woman of me one day."

"I will Bri." I kissed her forehead. "I promise."

"I love you Hap." She whispered.

"I love you too." I squeezed her hand.

"You coming to my appointment, it's in a hour." She closed her eyes. "I got in with a specialist, I don't care what you all say, I think there's more than one baby. I would like to know for sure."

"With that thought again? Bri, if you were having twins, the first doctor would have said something, same with the second doctor." I filled my eyes.

"Lemme entertain the thought. Wouldn't it be dope to have a son and daughter at the same time? We wouldn't even have to have any more babies. I'd be set." She rubbed her belly and smiled at me. "Lil Hap and Baby Bri at the same time."

"If you're having twins, then we need another nursery don't we?" I asked, falling right into her trap.

"No." She laughed. "One nursery, two cribs. When they are old enough to sleep on their own then we do a room for Baby Bri."

"We can always do it now, so when she's ready she already has a spot set up." I smiled. "I can't believe I'm even talking about this shit with you Bri. Get up and let's get you to the doctor."

"I think Monica is going to come over again this weekend." She smiled as she rocked out of her chair.

"That kid is growing on me. Just gotta keep the fucking glitter away from her." I frowned. "Shit gets everywhere and stays everywhere."

"She has a huge ass crush on Juice." She slipped her feet into her slippers and grabbed her bag. "I got into it with her, can you believe she thinks he's more handsome than you?"

"That hurt me. I'm talking to that little girl." I shook my head. "Where'd you get that shirt?"

"I stole it from Kozik." She shrugged. "Why?"

"Because it looks stupid." I pulled on the back of it. "Always cutting the arms off his shirts."

"He's a fan of muscle shirts." She laughed as we walked to the truck. "You're going to have to boost me up or we gotta take the jeep."

"Jeep." I shut the truck's door. "You got the keys?"

"Yeah." She nodded and tossed me her keys. "Ugh."

"Jeep is better?" I asked. "I don't see why one person needs so many cages."

"They're my vice. I only paid for the BMW and Truck. Every other car was gifted. This Jeep came from my dad." She shrugged. "Just drive. I think I feel Baby Bri now."

"Don't work yourself up for some shit that may not even happen." I squeezed her hand. "Don't need you excited for twins and turns out you're only having one."

"I don't mind having one. I just need some certain for sure answers. Every time I go to the other doctor she says I'm x amount of weeks then the the original doctor says some other shit. I don't know for sure how far along we are babe. It's irritating." She made a raspberry with her mouth. "Irritating."

"I know it is." I turned on the radio for her. "Listen to music, it'll keep you calm Bri."

"Thanks." She kissed my neck. "My Killer is the best."

"Anything for my Queen." I exhaled. "You bummed I shut down your plan?"

"Nah." She lamented. "It is what it is."

"It was just reckless and dumb." I linked my fingers with hers. "I can't let the love of my life put herself and our son at danger."

"I get that, I really do." She yawned. "I'll let karma work it's way with her."

"I don't even see why you picked the idiot over me to make a plan with." I said. "He's the idiot."

"I thought he was the best solution, it was either him or Koz." She sighed. "You would have been like no Brianna stop talking, I don't want to hear that shit."

I laughed at her trying to mimick my voice. "It's true, I don't even know why you'd put yourself and Nik in that shit. This isn't 21 Jumpstreet."

"I know that." She crossed her arms and turned away from me.

"Don't be like that Brianna." I touched her arm. "Don't get mad because I'm trying to look out for you baby."

"I'm not mad at you Happy!" She yelled. "I'm fucking disappointed with Juice! I knew he would tell you the plan I just hope he didn't! I hope that by me putting trust in him he'd be more inclined to keep the plan from you. Oh well the fucking plan fell apart. I get that you're concerned. I appreciate that shit. I really do."

"Calm down Bri." I rubbed her cheeks. "Yeah, look at me."

She stared at me. "You're an asshole."

"How?" I looked at her. "How am I the fucking asshole?"

"Because I think you should support me and whatever plan I make." She crossed her legs.

"I'm not supporting a stupid ass plan that could kill you and the baby!" I said.

"That wasn't the plan! The plan was for Nik to pretend to be me! She was supposed to be with MY guys." She yelled. "Fake, infiltrate, destroy from within. It was a solid fucking plan."

"One problem Brianna!" I yelled as I pulled into the parking lot. "She's not pregnant!"

"You're stupid!" She yelled. "They make fake bellies!"

"Brianna." I started. "Calm down. You said you weren't mad at me."

"I changed my fucking mind." She got out of the Jeep and I followed suit.

"Whoa." I pulled her into a hug. "Babe, I need you to be calm. I'm sorry you're mad at me but I can't let you do this plan. I love you. I can't chance them baiting you in and hurting you and not Nik. I just fucking can't."

"I get it." She rested her head against mine. "I love you."

"I love you too." I kissed her. "We'll talk about this shit later baby."

"Fine." She smiled. "Let's go see if Boots ate his twin sister."

"Cannibal." I shook my head and we headed towards the building. I hoped we were just having the son because I was positive we couldn't handle two babies at once.

SOASOASOA

Bri POV

I rolled my eyes as I sat on Juice's kitchen counter and sipped a green smoothie I found in his fridge. His kitchen was pristine, not a single item out of place. I frowned and tilted the napkin holder over before tilting it back up. It was weird to be in his house.

"What're you doing here?" He asked as he halted at the kitchen entrance.

"Waiting." I smirked at him. "For you."

He shrugged out of his cut and jacket. "I'm sorry I told Happy about the plan, he called me his brother and I felt guilty about keeping it from him."

I sipped the smoothie and blinked at him. "It's not about the plan. It's about us."

"What?" He scoffed with a slight smile. "There isn't an us."

I sighed. "I know. It was about me trusting you to not do me wrong. It was about us building a friendship that was healthier than our high school relationship had been. I just wanted to be able to fully trust you and tell you shit without you blabbing."

"I'm sorry." He rubbed his head.

"I get it." I slid off the counter. "I get that it's important to have a brother, someone to look out for you in and outside of the club. I just, I don't know Juan. I just wanted to do this shit for the club, for myself, for the new family."

"Brianna." He whispered. "I'm so sorry."

"It's okay." I rubbed my belly. "I gotta get home. Happy is waiting, got news about the baby today. I'll see you around."

"Don't be mad at him." He said.

"I'm not mad at him, or you. I'm mad mostly at myself for shit I don't care to get into with you or anyone." I set the smoothie on the counter. "We're family now Juan, I just wanted to let you know, I have no hard feelings. I just had to get it all off my chest."

"Alright." He hugged me and I hugged him back. "You're huge."

"Yeah. So I'm told." I laughed.

"I hope everything is good with the baby." He smiled.

"Yeah." I smiled back.

I smacked Happy in the gut with a rolled up stack of papers. "You're dumb."

He looked at me with an irritated look. "Why am I dumb this time?"

"Because I said so." I laughed. "Do you see this shit?"

"What is it?" He started to rifle through the papers.

"Last Will and Testament." I laughed. "Do you see the bullshit? He left everything to me."

"That's bullshit why?" He asked.

"Because it's putting a target on my goddamn back." I sighed and sat in the recliner next to him.

"Means a good future for us and the many kids we can now afford to have." He laughed.

"A load of Lowmans." I laughed great. "Let's focus on this pregnancy and see how well I take going into labor."

"You heard what the doctor said." He grabbed my hand. "Take it easy. Ma wants to throw you a baby shower."

"I don't want one." I shook my head. "Everyone knows this."

"It's Ma!" He rasped. "She don't care, she's hosting one and you're going. Can't get out of that shit Bri. Let the older women of our families spoil your ass."

"Ehh." I rolled my eyes. "Fine."

"You inherited a beach house in Malibu Bri." He smirked. "Party house!"

"Sure." I kissed him. "Close to your SAMDINO brothers."

"Sex on the beach." He squeezed my thighs. "This time with a blanket."

"Yes." I smiled.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"I talked to Juice." I sighed. "We're good, I didn't hit him or anything."

"He told me, so he could make sure you and Nik were protected. He didn't do that shit out of spite or malice Bri." He kissed me. "We all love you crazy ass Hohrykova sisters."

"Shiiit." I laughed. "I'm gonna be a Lowman, soon as you put a ring on it babe."

"Yeah soon." He smiled. "Brianna Lowman."

"We can go new age and you can be Happy Hohrykova." I laughed.

"No. I'm old fashioned. I want my lady to have my last name." He rubbed a hand over my belly. "Brianna Lowman, we can name our son Branden Lowman and our daughter Estrella Lowman. See it's cool for a girl to have a weird name."

"Naming her Nikolina then." I smiled. "Niko for short."

"I don't know." He sighed.

"Ohhh let's name our first daughter Harley! Harley Lowman, it's sorta close to Happy." I laughed. "It's cute huh? I see you thinking about it."

"Yeah it is." He smiled. "Harley Lowman, it is."

"Ayo!" I cheered. "We're getting better at this shit already."

"Branden for the boy though?" He asked.

"Can we name him Enoch?" I laughed. "Nucky for short?"

"You been into that Boardwalk Empire shit again?" He smiled at me.

"Yeah." I nodded.

"You give birth to him and then we'll decide on a name." He laced his fingers through mine and smiled.

"I'm giving each of my siblings I still talk to pieces of the estate." I closed my eyes. "I want Nik to be set, so she never has to strip or anything. I want my brother to be set too, he has Monica. I love that little girl."

"I like her too." He laughed. "She's my little road dog."

"Yeah I know." I smiled. "I see the way she follows your every move. You're her uncle Hap with the snake on his head."

"Auntie Bri!" He mimicked Monica's voice. "Will you buy me all the useless shit in the store?"

I laughed. "It's really like that though."

"She's got you trained. Spending all your money on dolls and glitter that she tosses away." He frowned. "You hungry?"

"Always." I pushed out of the recliner. "Going to add to my jello jiggle."

"Delicious jiggle." He pinched my ass. "Love you."

"Love you too." I smiled. "I think I wanna do something epic for Juice."

"What's more epic then not strangling him for telling me the plan?" He laughed as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders.

"Giving him the rest of his family back." I smiled.

"You're going to let that dumb slut go?" He scoffed.

"Yeah." I smiled. "I'm not in trouble, the heat moved off of me and onto every other power player. Plus karma will catch up to her. She's his problem not mine anymore. I got a plan for her anyways. Nik and G are all I need."

"And Lo." He rolled his eyes.

"Omg." I frowned. "She's sort of in trouble right now for being high on the job."

"I believe it." He pulled out the left over pizza. "Where do you even find these fucking women?"

"I wonder the same thing." I laughed. "Nik, she was born to me. G was a high school discovery and Lo, well I played captain save a ho way too many times."

"Ridiculous." He handed me a slice of pizza and the bottle of ranch dressing. "You excited to be a mom?"

"Nervous as all hell." I unscrewed the top of the dressing. "I want to be a good mom. I want to be like Ingrid. Not like my birth mom. I want to be like Diana even. I really want to be like Ma and Aunt. Like even if I'm half of what they are I'll be happy."

"You got this Bri." He kissed my neck. "You're going to be amazing. It's me as gotta worry about."

"Nah, all you gotta do is not teach our son how to use a gun until he's like ten and we're good." I laughed and he smiled. "You're good with kids baby. Just embrace that shit."

"I will try." He rubbed my belly. "Love you guys."

"We love you too." I smiled. "Always and forever."
