AN: I got off early because of low census, so I thought I'd give you a chapter! Please R&R!
Happy sit down in the chair, next to her bed, picking up her hand. "Dev, baby?" Her eyes fluttered open, looking at him, she smiled at him.
"Hap. We're fine, I'm just banged up. A few scrapes and cuts. My hip and back took the brunt of my fall." She felt his hand touch her stomach, there was still a look a concern and fear in his eyes. He leaned over, kissing her gently, his hands caressing her face.
"What did the doc say?" his voice was even more raspy then usual. His hands were still touching her body, his eyes roaming over her, taking in her appearance.
"I need to take it easy for a couple of days. I have a concussion, but we'll be fine." She touched the side of his face, trying to put him at ease.
"I was scared that I had lost you both." His voice dropped just above a whisper, she slowly started to sit up, he moved fast, standing up, his hands gently guiding her back down to the bed. "What do you think you're doing?"
She smiled up at him, taking his hand. "I just I wanted to hold my old man." He sat down on the bed, next to her, Pulling her into his arms, she buried her face into his neck, wrapping her arms around him.. "You're stuck with us Lowman!"
He gently laid her back down on the bed. "I love you both so damn much."
Smiling up at him. "We love you too, daddy." His hands covered her stomach. "You probably should go out into the waiting room and let them know we're fine." He made no move to leave her side, sitting back in the chair. "If you don't go out there, they'll come in."
"I'm not ready to let you go yet." He continued to hold her, his hands running, along her back. He could feel the scraps, he loooked over her shoulder seeing the bruises. He started to get angry, thinking about, how he could have lost them. She pulled back from him, smiling up at him. "If you don't go out, and say something, there may be a riot."
He laid you back down on the pillows, kissing you softly. "I'll be right back." He got up, walking towards the door, looking back at her, before leaving the room.

Tig had been pacing the halls around the waiting room, he felt like he was going to loose his mind. He looked around the room at his brother's they were all waiting on news, waiting to see if both Devon and the baby were okay. Gemma sat in a chair next to Bobby, looking exhausted, she was blaming herself for it, if she hadn't been on the phone, then Dev wouldn't have been there when it happened.
Happy had been back with her for thirty minutes, he hadn't come back out to give them a report. Tig was beginning to think it was a bad sign. He had stopped pacing to lean against a wall, preparing himself for the worst case scenario. He heard Jax say Happy's name, he looked up to see him standing in the waiting room smiling.
"Dev and the baby are fine. She's a banged up, and needs to take it easy for a few days. But their both whole." Tig slid down the wall in relief, as the rest of the club went to hug Happy. Tig was ready to go seek retaliation against the people responsible for the attack, as soon as Happy was ready, they were meeting about it.
He regained his composure getting up from the floor, going over to Happy, hugging him. "They'll pay for this."
Happy nodded his head, giving a silent thank you to the man. "I'm going to get back to her. We'll talk later, once I know she's settled for the night." Happy walked back down the hall.

Devon was laying on her side, her back towards the door, she had been lucky today. She could have easily lost the baby, as well as her own life today, she wiped the tears away from her face. She had been terrified when she woke up in the hospital, she was alone, scared that she had lost their baby. She had never felt such relief when she heard the heartbeat, then when they did the ultrasound and she saw the baby on the screen, and was told the baby was healthy. That everything looked great, there were no tears or damage.
She was so caught up in her emotions, she didn't hear the door open, she felt the bed dip down and Happy's arms go around her. He didn't say anything, just held her, close to him. Calming her down, kissing the top of her head. "I was so scared Hap."
"I know baby. So was I." He just let her cry out her fears. After a short time, her sobs stopped, and she drifted off to sleep in his arms.

Happy eased himself from the bed, making his way out of the room, back down to the waiting room to where the club sat. Gemma got up, walking towards Devon's room, understanding that Happy didn't want her alone. The club walked down to the hospital chapel, filing in and finding seats, Happy leaned against the wall.
Jax was quick and to the point. "It was the Triads. We've got Rogue River watching them and getting intel. Randy got a good look at the driver and the truck, we're going to get them Hap."
"Their mine!" Happy said. "They could have killed Dev and my baby, no one touches them except me!"
"Understood! Once we have them secured, we'll save them for you." Happy nodded his head, continuing leaning against the wall.
"I want a patched member with her until this is settled." He looked at Jax, his arms crossed over his chest. "I don't want her stressed out."
"Done. I'll make sure she's got someone, when you're not there."
Happy pushed away from the wall, getting ready to leave the chapel. "I'm staying here tonight. I'm not sure when she'll be released."
Tig stepped forward, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Let us know."

She woke up the next morning, seeing him asleep on the couch across the room, she sat up on the edge of the bed. She got up making her way to the bathroom, hearing her move, Happy woke up. Getting up quickly, he moved across the room. "Get your pretty little butt back in that bed."
She rolled her eyes. "I have to go to the bathroom, your child is using my bladder for a trampoline." She tried to push past him, his arm went around his waist and he guided her to the door. "I can go by myself!"
His hands moved up to her face. "I'm just trying to take care of the two of you." She smiled at him, kissing the palm of his hand.
"I know, thank you baby!" Going into the bathroom, she took care of business, and did a few of her morning routines. It didn't take long for Happy to knock on the door, then come inside to check on her. She knew he was just taking care of her, he scooped her up in his arms, carrying her back to bed.
"Let's get you back in bed." She smiled at him, her hands going to his face, kissing him. Raising her eyebrows at him, she ran her hands over his shoulders. She heard him groan at her, which caused her to laugh. "Behave yourself!"
"Hap, I'm not doing anything." He gently laid her in the hospital bed, leaning down kissing her. There was a knock on the door, it opened slowly, the doctor walked inside smiling at the couple. Happy straightened up, looking at the man.
"I'm Dr. Lawrence." He held his hand out to Happy. "How are you feeling Devon?"
"I'm feeling good. Ready to go home." She smiled at him.
"I think that can be arranged. I want you to take it easy the next few days, nothing strenuous. No stress!" He looked at Happy.
"I can handle that." His eyes remained on his wife. Dr. Lawrence looked at the couple, smiling.
"I'll get the nurse working on your discharge papers." He left the room.
Happy sat on the side of the bed. leaning in kissing her. "I'm going to take care of you and our peanut. Nothing is going to hurt you." His hand ran over her small baby bump. She wrapped her arms around his neck, holding him close.
"I know you will. I trust you baby."

Happy had fallen asleep on he other end of the couch, she slowly got up making her way to the kitchen. She had been home for half a day, and he was making her crazy. The doctor had told her to take it easy, that didn't mean to be couch bound, ever since they got home, he hadn't allowed her to do anything except to get up and go to the bathroom.
God love that man, he was only doing what he promised, taking care of them, but he was taking it to the extreme. She was in the kitchen fixing herself something to eat, when his arms carefully snaked around her waist. His mouth was on her ear. "What are you doing?"
"I didn't want to wake you. I was hungry." She turned in his arms, smiling up at him.
"You're suppose to be taking it easy!" His lips came down on hers, she returned his kiss.
"I am, it's not like I'm running a marathon, I'm fixing myself a snack." He picked her up, carrying her out of the kitchen. "Come on Hap!"
"Let me take care of you." He laid her down on the couch. "Now tell me, what do you want to eat."
"Thank you for taking care of us. I want a soft pretzel, and nacho cheese." Kissing her, he straighten up going into the kitchen. She smiled at his retreating back, knowing that she was lucky that he loved her enough to take care of her. She could handle him driving her crazy.

She woke up alone later that night, getting up from bed she searched the up stairs, not finding him, she went to the main floor of the house. She nearly jumped out of her skin, finding Bobby asleep on the couch. Hearing her moving around, Bobby woke up, pulling out his gun, looking around.
"Jesus Bobby, what the hell?"
"Sorry, Happy asked me to come over and keep an eye on things. He had some club business to take care of." Her heart rate was finally slowing down, as she made her way to the kitchen, she was craving peanut butter and ice cream. The baby was rolling around, and kicking, she rubbed her stomach smiling. She couldn't wait for Happy to be able to feel it, she hoped that the next ultrasound they would be able to tell the sex of the baby.
The one she just had done, the baby was mooning the camera, and wouldn't turn over. Although being surprised wouldn't be so bad either, her thoughts were a million miles away as she scooped out her ice cream, then she put two big dollops of peanut butter on the side. Finding the whip topping she sprayed some on top, then she poured brownie crumbles on top.
Going out to the livingroom, she sat down in the chair to eat her sunday, Bobby grinned out her. Turning on the TV, they started watching a movie together, at some point she fell asleep. Waking up, when she was lifted out of the chair, her eyes opened, finding Happy, carrying to her to bed.
"You should be sleeping."
"I woke up and you were gone. Went looking for you, found Bobby, got the shit scared out of me, and needed ice cream to make it better. Then we watched a movie." She was falling back to sleep, as he laid her in bed. "I love you Hap."'
"Love you too."

Two weeks later she had a follow up appointment, up until that point, Happy had made sure someone stayed with her if he wasn't there. She didn't say anything or fuss at him, because she knew he was taking care of her and the baby. As they sat in the doctor's office and waited, she could see he was nervous, she took his hand.
"Happy, we're fine. Taking it easy was just a precaution." His hand went to her stomach, as the baby kicked. She smiled as his eyes widened, he looked at her.
"Was that?" She nodded at him.
"That was little Lowman." This was the first time he had felt the baby kick, the last two weeks he'd been busy with club business and hadn't been home a lot. His hand stayed where it was, as the baby kept kicking. She smiled at the look of amazement on his face, she hadn't told him that they were also doing another ultrasound to check on the baby. She was going to surprise him, hoping the baby would cooperate today.
"Devon Lowman." The nurse called her name, the two of them went back to the exam room. Sitting on the exam table, she noticed he still looked nervous.
"Calm down Lowman!" He stood up, kissing her. "Everything is fine." The doctor walked in, did his exam, afterward, he smiled at the two of them.
"You ready to see you're little on?" He pulled the ultrasound machine out of the corner. Squirting the gel on her stomach, me moved the wand around. The room filled with the whomp, whomp sounds of the baby's heart beat. "Baby has a nice strong heart beat. Do you want to know the sex?"
She looked up at Happy, seeing the tears in his eyes, his was fascinated with the screen. He wasn't moving or answering, she smiled at the doctor. "Yes, please."
Moving the wand around, he clicked. "Congratulations mom and dad, looks like your having a..."
