Happy was distracted, it was something that could get him and others killed. He had always been able to focus on the task at hand and get the job done. He'd always put the club first, never letting his emotions get in the way. Looking at her picture, he knew something was bothering her, he could hear it in her voice yesterday morning, the fact that she had avoided his calls last night.

He thought about Gemma's call to him. She wouldn't have called him, unless something was really wrong. Needing to get to the bottom of it, he pulled out his phone, he was going to call her again, demand that she tell him what was wrong. He was still stuck her for a few more days, he closed his eyes. He had no choice, but to call her, going home wasn't an option, he needed to make sure the Devon was fine.

He put her picture in the inside pocket of his kutte, he swore as his call went to her voicemail again. He thought after last night she'd answer. He had to get up, and take care of some club business, he had to push thoughts of Devon from his mind. He had to focus on the task before him, get the job done. He'd worry about his wife later.

Devon opened her eyes, the sun was shining brightly into the bedroom. She groaned, wishing she would have remembered to close the blinds last night. She reached for her phone, realizing it wasn't in it's usual place, she sat up confused. Remembering throwing it across the room, tired of it continual ringing. As on cue, it started to ring again, she pushed herself up, scanning the room looking for her phone.

She got up from the bed, continuing to look for her phone, spying it in the closet, she picked it up. Seeing that the missed call was from Happy, after last night, he was probably more then a little pissed off at her. She called him back, but it went unanswered, it serves her right, she left him a brief message, apologizing for last night, and for missing his call that morning.

She got ready for her day, deciding breakfast out, then a long list of errands she had to accomplish today would keep her busy. She went downstairs, grabbing her things she left for breakfast. Calling her ma on the way, she invited her to breakfast, she needed some bonding time with her mom.

"You were pretty out of it last night baby."

Devon looked at her mom, with questions in her eyes. "Did we talk last night?"

"Baby, I was in your room last night, with Rat. Happy sent us over to check on you because your weren't answering his calls. You talked to him on the phone." Devon thought she dreamed the whole thing, she had a vague memory of it.

"That was real? I thought it was a dream." She rubbed the back of her neck, looking at her mom, she saw the concern in her eyes. Gemma reached across the table, covering her hand.

"What's going on with you?"

"Nothing! I'm just exhausted, the last few months have finally caught up with me." She started eating her breakfast, wishing now, that she'd just gone alone.

"I think you should go to the doctor." Rolling her eyes, she knew if she didn't put a stop to this fast her mom would meddle, and drag her to the doctor. She didn't need that shit, brushing her mom's hand away.

"I'm fine, stop worrying. I don't need to see a doctor." Pushing her plate away, after barley eating anything she threw some money on the table. "I've got to go." Rushing out of the diner, she didn't stop until she was in her car, and pulling out. She needed to get her errands done, she had to go to Oakland, then come back and go grocery shopping. She'd be gone all day, with no one expecting her home, she could do what she wanted.

Happy pulled into the garage of his house, it was late afternoon, they had gotten done today after all. He was going to surprise Devon, the surprise was on him, she wasn't even home. Going inside, he kicked off his boots, hung his kutte on the hook by the door, and went ti the kitchen. Grabbing a beer from the fridge, he leaned against the counter, staring down at lab results with Devon's name on the top.

She really needed a nap, as soon as she unloaded the groceries, she was going to lay down and rest. She pulled into the garage surprised to see Happy's bike, she started to unload the groceries, carrying them into the house. She was carrying in a case of his beer, when he took it from her hands, and glaring at her.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?"

"Carrying in the groceries, what the hell does it look like I'm doing?" She started back out to the car, he pulled her into his arms.

"Tell me!" His hands running down to her flat stomach, she closed her eyes, realizing she'd left her pregnancy results on the counter. She pulled away from him, taking a few steps away, turning her back to him.

"I'm eight weeks along, it happened in San Diego. I know you don't want children, so if you want to walk away..." She was spun around, he dropped to his knees, kissing her stomach. Standing up, his hands cupped her face, he kissed her.

"I didn't realize how much I wanted this, until I saw it in black and white. I'm not going anywhere. Is this why you were so upset yesterday?"

She closed her eyes, tears rolling down her cheeks. "I thought you were going to leave me because..." She felt his hands wiping away her tears, his arms wrapping around her. He picked her up, carrying her towards the stairs, his lips on hers. "Wait, I need to get something out of the car."

"Can't it wait?"

She smiled at him, shaking her head. "It's ice cream!" He growled at her, putting her down, he went out to the car, bringing in the last five bags. Making sure all the cold items were put away, he came back over to her, scooping her up, carrying her upstairs.

Happy rubbed small circles on her stomach, as he gazed down at her. "I love you, I'm going to take care of you and our baby. I'm not going anywhere, I want this with you." She reached up, caressing his face. He leaned over, kissing her stomach. "I love our little peanut."

"I want to wait another month or two before we tell anyone. Wait until I'm out of the first trimester..." He sat up looking down at her, she could see the instant concern in his eyes. "Everything is fine, I just want to wait, keep it between us."

"Whatever you want baby." He lowered his lips to hers, kissing her gently.

"I love you." She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer. He deepened the kiss, she wrapped her legs around his waist, wanting more of him. He pulled away, looking down at her. "What?"

"You're fucking gorgeous!"

She rolled her eyes, smirking at him. "You think that now, but before long when I'm fat, you won't think so. The croweaters will start circling around even harder..."

"Look at me! You're going to be fucking gorgeous even at nine months because you're carrying my child. I can't wait to see you. They can circle around me all they want, you'll be the only woman I want in my bed." He buried his face in the side of her neck, trailing kisses down the side.

She woke up at two am, starving, she eased out from under Happy's arm, slipping on his t-shirt, she crept down the stairs to the kitchen. Opening the fridge, she pulled out the left over Chinese, she didn't bother heating it up, eating it cold sounded good. She pulled out a bottle of water, carrying her snack to the livingroom, she curled up on the couch.

She was into the scary movie she was watching, and eating the left overs, she didn't hear Happy coming down the stairs, or sit down beside her. He ran his hand along her thigh, and she screamed, she slapped at his chest. "Good job Lowman!"

"Are you eating that shit cold?" He frowned at her, taking your box of food away from her.

"Hey don't judge me, it's good stuff. Besides you'll probably see me eat a lot of things you that you might think are gross. It's your job to go out and get them for me in the middle of the night."

He smirked at her. "Is that right?" She put the food down, straddling his lap, smiling at him.

"Yep." His arms wrapped around her waist, holding her against his chest. She kissed the side of his neck, his hands moved along her back. She raised up, looking into his eyes. 'Let me clean up, then let's go back to bed." She got off his lap, picking up the containers, carrying them into the kitchen, he followed her. His arms wrapping around her waist, pulling her back against his chest.

"Let's go to bed." He took her hand, leading her out of the kitchen.

She woke up Friday morning, Happy had already left for the day, tonight was a club party. There would be a lot of drinking, she would have to come up with an excuse to why she wasn't drinking. She laid in bed, wishing she could miss the party all together, but it was Chibs birthday, he'd be hurt if she didn't go. She slowly sat up, moving her legs to the edge of the bed.

She had so much to do today, help her ma cook, pick up the cake, go to Lodi and pick up the booze for the night, help decorate for the party. She had to go to Stockton airport and pick up Kerrianne, she was a surprise gift for him from Devon and Happy. Time to get her day started, she quickly got ready, heading to TM, Happy came out to meet her.

"Be careful today, I'm sending Rat with you to load and carry shit."

"Hap, I'm pregnant not dying." He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her in for a kiss.

"Stop arguing with me. What else are you doing today?" She went over her list of things to do, he frowned at her. "You planning on resting anywhere?"

Rolling her eyes at him, she knew he was just watching out for her and the baby. "Tomorrow."

"Wrong answer! The prospects can decorate. I don't want you risking it!" She leaned in kissing him, before turning and going to the clubhouse to help cook the ton of food that needed to be prepared. Walking into the kitchen, the smell of seafood hit her, up to this point, nothing had bothered her, she made a dash for the bathroom, emptying her stomach.

Gemma came in behind her, holding her hair, pressing a cold cloth on the back of her neck. Standing up slowly, she braced herself against the wall, closing her eyes, trying to regain her composure. She took a deep breath, exhaling slowly, opening her eyes, to find Gemma smiling at her. "How far along are you?"

"Eight weeks, but we aren't making any announcements for another month or two. So please don't say anything!"

"Your secret is safe with me!" The two woman went back out into the clubhouse, a scented candle helped with the stench of seafood.

Rat sat beside her in Gemma's Caddy, staring straight ahead, Devon looked at him, he was a bundle of nerves. She reached over, touching his arm, he jumped, then smiled at her. "Relax."

"If anything happens to you, Happy threatened to kill me, in slow and painful ways. You have to promise me to be careful, let me carry everything." Rolling your eyes, you have a feeling that it's going to be a long seven months. Once everyone else finds out about your pregnancy, then they would be just as protective. She knew it was because they all loved her, she smiled at Rat.

"Just chill out, you're making me nervous!" They spent a hour in Lodi, picking up the booze for the party, she went to the bakery and picked up the cake, she had a few more unscheduled stops to make. Rat kept looking at his watch nervously, and then looking at her. "Do you have a date?"

"No, ummm! We were suppose to be back a hour ago, Happy is going to kill me!"

She rolled her eyes, looking at him. "I will take care of my crazy over protective husband." She drove back to Charming, pulling into the TM lot, as soon as Happy saw them, he stormed towards the Caddy, looking like he was going to commit murder. She smiled at Rat, placing her hand on his shoulder. "Take the stuff in, I'll handle the killer." He nodded his head, going inside.

She got out of the Caddy, approaching her hubby, stopping him, wrapping her body around him, she kissed him. "Take me to your dorm room, remind me who I belong to." She heard him growl, as he picked her up, carrying her inside. She winked at Rat, as he carried her past, letting him know he was safe from death.

She lay curled up against him, his hands running up and down her back. "You can't worry me like that baby!" He whispered. She raised up looking down at him, smiling.

"You sent Rat to protect me, I had some errands to run, before I came back. If anything would have happened, he would have called." She lowered his lips to his, slowly kissing him. "i need to leave for Stockton to pick up Kerrianne."

"I'm going with you!" She rolled from the bed, getting dressed, he followed her. His arms wrapping around her waist, pulling her close to him. "I love you."

"Love you too." Walking out to the Caddy, she climbs in, watching Happy get in the driver's seat. Leaning back against the seat, she closes her eyes, the back door opens, and a unhappy Chibs climbs in.

"I've been trying to call Kerrianne all day, she's not answering my calls. Gemma said you need help with something, it will get my mind off my shite birthday." She turns around, grabbing his hand, looking at the Scot.

"I'm sure there's a reason, why she hasn't talked to you today." He smiled at her, squeezing her hand.

"Thank you sweet girl, where are we going?"

"Stockton airport, a friend of mine is coming in for a visit."

"What do you need help with then?" He started to get out of the vehicle, she stopped him smiling.

"To keep Happy company on the drive back." Rolling her eyes it was the best she could come up with, it wasn't how the plan was suppose to go but they had to adapt. Happy had pulled out of the lot, and started for Stockton airport, she was talking to Chibs, things had been so busy with the club, she hadn't had time to catch up with him.

"Mary, Mother of Christ! Love do you have something to tell me?" She turned around to see what he was talking about, the bag that was sitting on the backseat had fallen over. A little green onesie had fallen out with "MY DAD'S TATTOO'S ARE BETTER THEN YOUR DAD'S" written on the front. She took it from his hands, putting it on her lap, showing Happy.

"I'm swearing you to secrecy Filip Telford. We aren't telling anyone right now, you and ma are the only ones that know, and you both found out accidentally. Yes, I'm eight weeks along."

"Sweet girl! Hap!" He reached up touching both their shoulders. "I'll keep it to myself." You pulled into the Stockton airport, getting out of the Caddy, you walk inside. Stopping Chibs, you fix his hair, smiling up at him. Pulling out your phone, you want to get his reaction. You see Kerrianne, coming towards you. Turning him around, it takes him a few minutes to see her.

"Kerrianne?" The young woman throws herself into his arms, hugging and kissing him.

"Happy birthday Da!"

"What are you doing here?" He had tears streaming down his face.

"It's a surprise from Devon and Happy. I'm here for two weeks!" Devon smiled as she watched the father and daughter reunite, Happy's arm wrapped around her waist. He leaned down, whispering in her ear.

"I think you're amazing. I love you."

She smiled at him. 'Love you too!"
