Bri POV

"Look at this." Roosevelt said with a cocky grin. "Both Hohrykova girls at the same time. Damn I'm lucky."

"How can we help you?" I pushed my sunglasses to the top of my head.

He sat down in the chair across from us and set his sunglasses on the table. "You can help me by letting me know who would kill your mother."

Nik laughed. "Long list of people to name in that case."

"Is that so?" He cocked his head and looked at her. "Enlighten me."

"The whole damn Russian Mafia." Nik said as she squeezed my hand.

"You got my attention now." He grinned. "Nikola right?"

"Correct." She smiled. "You know our step dad, well ex step dad, Kukov? I know for a fact he's leading the Russian Mafia. Bri may be blind to that fact but I'm not."

"Can you make a statement about that?" He pulled out a pad and slid it over to her.

"I'll give you five guys. Kukov and his four enforcers." She took his pen and wrote down the names. "I can also tell you they're staying in San Jose." She jotted down the address. "That's all I'm giving you."

"That's all I needed." He stood and tucked the paper in the front pocket of his shirt.

"I'm keeping this pen. Not very many Charming souvenirs floating around here." She dropped it in her purse.

"Fine with me." He slipped his sunglasses back on and smiled. "I'll be in touch ladies."

"Nik." I spoke. "You did so fucking well! Omg."

"I know." She bit on her bottom lip. "It felt good. You think he'll find what he needs to stop snooping around our bushes?"

I giggled. "That sounded sexual."

"I caught it after." She shook her head and squirted ranch on her salad.

"It'll work. I got that plan with Natalie in the works." I sighed. "She's getting it done tonight. No excuses."

"Juice knows?" She asked.

"Nope." I stole one of her fries. "Gotta keep it that way. Why'd you keep that pen?"

"Because I touched it." She laughed. "I don't want him with my prints."

"Of course not." I laughed. "Where's your boyfriend?"

"Ugh, don't get me started!" She pulled her hair back into a sloppy ponytail. "He's with Tara."

I frowned. "I could have told you he'd help if she let him. He always will. That's his family whether we like it or not."

"Nah, I don't care about that. I understand that shit fully. It's like she always knows when we're about to get it in." She blinked her eyes rapidly. "I need to fuck that man. I'm going fuckin' insane."

"At least you're able to fuck." I took a bite of her burger. "I'm too big to do anything anymore. We did the other night and I'm still sore."

"Hella big." She laughed. "You going to let me eat my food?"

"Everyone always orders what I want and I don't even know I want it until it's sitting in front of me." I handed her the burger back and looked at my chicken strips. "You wanna trade?"

"No!" She moved her food out of my reach. "This isn't elementary school. Eat what you got."

"Bitch." I hissed.

"What really is up with Monica?" She took a bite of her burger.

"Get this shit." I frowned. "I gave him half the money and the fucker dipped out of town. None of his numbers work, can't reach her mom. None, so she's like in my care and I'm trying to get shit worked out so I can get her in school and shit."

"Damn." She sat back. "I knew he dipped! I just hope I'd be wrong. That's so fucked. How can someone ditch their kid like that?"

"Money makes people do crazy ass shit Nik." I laughed and a lady cleared her throat next to us.

"What?" Nik asked her.

"Can you two stop cussing?" She gave us a rude look.

"Can you not eavesdrop lady?" Nik spat at her.

"You're talking loudly when you cuss." She rolled her eyes.

"Whatever." I shrugged. "We'll try to keep that shit at bay. I can't make you no fucking promise though."

"Wow." She turned away. "Trashy."

"I'll show you trashy bitch." Nik stood and squirted the ranch on the lady's head. "There you fucking go, enjoy your fucking lunch you bitch."

"I'm getting the manager!" The lady stood and bolted back inside the restaurant.

"You think she'll shit herself when she realizes you own this place?" Nik gave me an evil smirk.

"Yeah." I laughed. "Here they come."

"Those two!" The lady pointed at us. "They did this! All I did was ask them not to cuss."

"Um." The manager stuttered. "I can't do anything but offer you lunch on the house and dry cleaning fees."

"What?" She looked at him. "Why?"

"Well, the brunette owns this place and the blonde is her sister." He looked at me. "I need this job so I can just offer you what I did."

"Okay." The lady grabbed her purse. "I'm not eating here again!"

"Good! We don't need twats like you in this establishment." Nik said.

"You're terrible." I smacked her. "You did good, I thought you were going to attack her or some shit."

"Fuck me." Nik said. "Why didn't she move? We were seated first and she had the whole empty patio to move to."

"Idk." I shrugged. "Run her down and see of she's a spy."

"I really will." She hopped over the small black iron gate. "I'll be back."

I rolled my eyes and prayed she didn't get herself arrested.

SOASOASOA

Natalie POV

"You want me to what?" I asked as I watched Bri rub her big belly.

"I want you to take this envelope." She waved a black envelope in the air. "To this San Jose address and drop it off, but only to a Kukov."

"That's it?" I stared down at her.

"Yes." She smiled. "I would do it myself but he knows what I look like."

"I can do that." I grabbed the envelope from her. "I can go later or what?"

"Go whenever, just get it dropped off tonight." She smirked.

"That easy?" Turned the envelope over in my hands.

"Yeah." She nodded. "That easy. What? You thought I was going to send you into some life or death situation?"

"Yeah I did think that." I let out a nervous chuckle. "I thought I was going to get killed by you, my daughter taken by you."

"I'm not a violent person, I'm violent when provoked. I am still pissed off and working out my anger towards what you did to me." She stood. "Just get that shit done and you can sleep easy again Natalie."

"Alright." I smiled.

"I gotta go." She waved. "Another appointment."

"Bye." I let out an easy breath as the door shut behind her.

#

I parked my car a block down and made my way to the address. The envelope tucked under my arm. I inhaled and exhaled as I walked up the stone path to the front door. I felt a sense of gloom overwhelm me as I pressed the doorbell and listened to it chime.

The door flew open. "Can I help you?"

"I have a package for Kukov." I stammered as I looked at the huge man standing in front of me.

"Come in." He stood off to the left and waved me in. "I take you to him."

"Thanks." I tensed as his hand rested on my shoulder as we walked deep into the house.

"Kukov." The man said as we walked into a red and black office. "You have a visitor."

"Ahh okay." The guy behind the desk said. "You are?"

"I'm Natalie." I smiled. "Here." I placed the black envelope in front of him.

"Thanks." He nodded. "You can leave now."

"Umm, yeah. Alright." I turned around and was led out by the man who escorted me in. That was quick I thought to myself as I walked out of the door. It felt too good to be true. I rushed to my car and got in. "What are you up to Bri?" I asked myself as I saw police cars pull up to the house.

"Shit." I started my car and made a quick U-Turn. "Fuck." I smacked the steering wheel as another police car sped past me. I turned the opposite way of my house. I had to talk to Bri and figure out what was in the envelope and how the fuck the police had gotten to that house so fast.

I was just about to merge onto the freeway when red, white, and blue lights appeared in my rearview. I pulled over and crossed my fingers that it was for a traffic violation and not for dropping off that envelope

SOASOASOA

Happy POV

"Brianna." I laughed as she trailed her nails down my chest. "Stop."

"Babe." She laughed. "I can't! It keeps me calm."

"But it makes me horny." I frowned at her. "The doctor said no sex at all."

"He didn't say no blowjobs or handjobs though." She gave me a devious smirk.

"Monica is home." I moved her hands from my chest.

"Nik texted." She held up her phone. "Police stormed Kukov."

"So the slut got her job done?" I stared at the phone's screen.

"Apparently." She blinked at me. "You really gonna deny me the chance to blow you Happy?"

"Babe." I shook my head. "Don't change the subject on me."

"I'm horny." She whined. "Ugh!"

"What was in the envelope?" I grabbed her hands.

"Pictures." She said before she bit my neck softly. "Where to find that missing skull."

"Bri." I moved away. "Don't start this shit babe."

"I'm so horny Happy!" She yelled and the dog started to bark.

"Why couldn't you have dropped that envelope in the mail?" I rubbed her belly in small circles.

"Because, I needed her prints on the envelope." She sighed. "To make it look like she was an accomplice or at least was involved."

"That's why you wouldn't let me touch it Bri?" I grimaced as she bit my shoulder. "Really? Back to biting?"

"I like biting you. You taste good." She laughed.

"Stop being cute." I frowned. "I gotta head out soon."

"Don't, I don't want you leaving me alone anymore." She crossed her arms. "I need you here in case I go into labor or whatever. The doctor said it could happen any time even though I'm still a few weeks from my due date."

"Alright, I won't go. Do you want to go unbox shit in our daughter's room?" I stood and offered her my hands.

"Yeah." She grabbed my hands and I helped her up. "How do you feel about the name Harley Emilia?"

"It's pretty." I smiled.

"Her nickname is gonna be Smiley." She laughed as we entered the room. "Happy and Smiley."

"I'm happy you're back to your normal weird ass self Bri." I helped her sit in the rocking chair. "I missed it."

"Don't get me wrong I'm in a lot of discomfort but I feel like I can just finally sit back and relax." She smiled as I handed her a stuffed rabbit. "Aw this is from Esai."

"These are from G." I held up the black onesies. "Killer 1 and Killer 2."

"I loved those." She laughed. "They can't wear them out the house but still."

"Here." I handed her a small box.

She opened it and her mouth fell open. "Is this what I think it is?" She looked at the box's contents then back at me.

"Yes." I smirked. "So Brianna, will you marry me?"

"Yes!" She smiled. "It's gorgeous!"

"It may not fit now but it will." I kissed her. "I love you."

"This is so gorgeous! Babe!" She cried. "I can't believe it! We're getting married!"

"Yeah." I rubbed my head. "Who would have thought?"

She laughed. "Not me."

"Me either." I kissed her softly.

"I love you so much." She smiled. "Help me put it on my chain."

"Babe." I fingered her gold chain. "It doesn't match."

"I don't care." She said. "Stick this bad boy on the chain."

"Brianna." I laughed. "Platinum and Gold are clashing."

"So." She shrugged. "What am I gonna do?"

"Get a platinum chain." I said.

"I have one, In my jewelry box." She smirked. "Keep that safe until we get to our room! Omg I cannot wait to tell Nik and Herman!"

"Babe, calm down, all this excitement may push the babies out right now." I laughed.

"Hap! This is like one of the greatest moments ever! I didn't even expect this to happen until after the babies!" She smiled. "So cute, proposing in our daughters room."

"It's what she asked for." I laughed. "Monica told me so."

"Oh so your little partner in crime helped you?" Her mouth curved into a satisfied smiled.

"Yeah, told me what Harley had said to her. Even helped me pick out the ring." I nodded slowly. "That ring is the reason why I don't spend like you, if I did I couldn't have got my Queen the ring she deserved."

She was crying again. "Babe, you know I would have taken a plastic ring from the quarter machines. If it's from you that's all that really matters."

"Nah, nah." I shook my head. "I'd never get you anything cheap. I want you to be one of those brides that smack people in the fucking face to show off the ring Brianna."

"I fucking love you Happy Lowman." She grabbed my hands. "What a wonderful fate this is to have."

"I haven't heard that in awhile." I laughed.

"Our anniversary is coming up!" She squealed. "Baby, the kids will be here for it. Are you opposed to the idea of family photos?"

"Bri, you know I'll do whatever makes you happy." I rolled my eyes at her.

"Alright, remember you said that when I'm forcing you into an all white zoot suit and gator boots." She bit back a smile.

"Good luck getting it on me." I tapped her belly. "One question, how'd Nik and Jax even meet to like fall for each other and shit?"

"I sent her to the clubhouse." She shrugged. "To drop of some things. Didn't expect them to fall for each other or whatever."

"Jax falls for any girl that gives him the time of day." I laughed.

"Can we host a poker night before I go into labor?" She tossed the rabbit she was holding at me.

"Whatever you want." I smiled. "Just don't get mad when I take all of your money."

SOASOASOA

Nik POV

Jax stared at me from his spot on the sofa. "How was your day?"

"It was fruitful." I laughed. "Dumped ranch on a woman at Bri's new restaurant, then chased her down to make sure she wasn't a Russian spy. Then I helped Bri with the second part of her plan."

"You dumped ranch on a lady?" He chuckled. "Why?"

"Because she told me and Bri not to cuss." I laughed at how stupid that statement sounded. "She called me trashy."

"You don't even cuss that much." He smiled.

"When I'm passionate I do." I shrugged. "Bri made me passionate."

"How much more shit is the family going to give me?" He looked at me.

"I don't know. You feel like a prospect or something?"

"Yeah I do." He sat up. "Not every day I get bossed by Kozik and Juice."

"Not everyday you're on the outside wanting to get in. Now you know how Juice felt and feels. Or how Bri felt when you guys just iced her out." I frowned at him. "They'll lighten up. I promise. Just gotta win their trust."

"Yeah." He nodded. "I never thought I'd have to work to be in a family outside of the club."

"If it counts, Bri's cheering for you." I smiled.

"It really does." He kissed my hand. "I gotta head out though."

"Alright." I smiled. "Ride safe."

"I will." He stood. "Bye Nik."

"Bye Jax." I gave him a quick hug.

"Is Natalie here?" I asked when Juice pulled open the door.

"She doesn't want visitors." He said.

"I don't care." I pushed past him to find Natalie sitting on the sofa crying.

"You get your job done?" I looked at her and pulled the pistol Bri had given me from the back of my jeans.

"Yeah." She stood.

"You ready to go?" I cocked the gun. "Bullet or knife?"

"What the fuck?" Juice moved to stand in front of Natalie. "You can't kill her, she just had a baby!"

"I have to do this for Brianna." I sighed. "If you don't move, I'll shoot you too Juice."

"Did Bri order this?" He asked.

"Nope." I shook my head. "But unlike her I believe in dishing out death to a rat."

"So it can be bullet or a knife?" I asked again. "Answer me Natalie!"

"I don't want to die!" She cried. "I did what Bri asked! I sat for hours in a police station! I'm now being seen as a suspect in a homicide case. I think that's enough!"

"No." I shook my head. "Bri may have gotten above this but I haven't."

"It isn't your burden to get over." Juice said. "It's Bri's."

"She's my sister!" I yelled. "You fucked her over and it landed her in rehab. Then Natalie fucked her over and it put federal agents at her door and almost cost her her doctoring career."

"Relax." Juice held his hands up. "You don't want to do this shit Nik. Just leave and we can go about life. We're a fucking family now!"

"I know we're family. I get that part." I shrugged. "But I still believe in paying for past sins."

"Is this about Fiasco?" Natalie asked with a scoff and a smirk.

"No. Fiasco is a dumb guy." Iaughed. "This is about Brianna." I held up the gun. "Bullet or knife?"

"Neither." She yelled. "I'm good with Brianna."

"You're not good with me." I cocked the gun and fired two rounds. "Now we're good."


A/N: oh what? Did Nik just do what Bri should have done or no?
