Loosing her footing, she stumbled back into a solid wall of flesh. Releasing her mouth as he closed the door, he wrapped an arm around her waist to help steady her. Looking up at him through her lashes she couldn't help but enjoy having her body pressed against his. "Well the no contact rule lasted long."
"You can't be skipping meals," he grumbled down at her completely ignoring her attempt at a joke.
"I won't Hap, but you can't grump at me every time I'm not hungry either," she spat back at him, hating when he scolded her. As she tried pulling herself away from him, he tightened his grip on her. They didn't have time for this. He needed to get to church and she needed to shower before her mother came looking.
"Well I'm not going to apologize," he told her as she tried pulling away again. Jumping quickly to the point, "But I've always told you, full disclosure. From what Tig just said, we may be here longer than what we were expecting."
"Jax said it was a simple quick issue."
"Yeah well clearly there's missing information somewhere. At this point, club's in a waiting game. There's a few safe houses Clay wants raided tonight and he's hoping it will get us what we need to cut off the northern expo units." He explained guiding her to sit on the bed. He sat next to her, watching her process what he just told her.
"How long?" she mumbled.
"Tig thinks atleast a month. So if that's the case, you'll need a new doc down here. Don't want the baby going that long not being monitored."
"So you're saying we need to tell them..."
"I'm not saying that. But I think we should tell atleast Jax. Were going to need help. Someone who can assist us with diversions so I can be the one to go with you to your appointments. As long as I'm the one with you, less chance of being caught."
"We can't trust Jax. His punk ass has never been able to keep secrets from ma. Plus I don't want to add more accomplices. Poor Kozik is already on the line."
"What's your plan then? We need something. You were supposed to get your next check up in 3 days. There isn't much time to make a decision. I thought we'd be home by then..." Happy studied her as she sat next to him. He didn't know how they had gotten so deep in this mess.
Never did he imagine having an old lady, let alone kids. He'd always been careful. That was part of why he still couldn't understand how they were in this predicament. They'd used protection that night and the condom didn't break. He checked just like he always did. With his OCD he always made a point to. You could never be too cautious. Plus she was on birth control. Her doctor was as shocked as they were.
"I don't know. But you're right, the baby comes first. Can I think about it for a few days?" She knew she was asking alot but she had no choice, she had to try. The quick lockdown trip had quickly become a month. That was atleast 2, if not 3, appointments.
"Think fast. I'll give you until tomorrow. After that, I'm going to Jax myself." Kissing her on the head, he started to head towards the door. "I'll find you again after church if i get better information."
"Okay," she replied following him out the door and heading to her brother's dorm. As she closed the bathroom door and climbed into the shower she started to let her mind wander oblivious to her brother seeing the interaction of her leaving Happy's dorm.
"What was that?" Jax asked Happy as he exited the hall.
"What?" Happy asked.
"You and Lex," Jax shot back crossing his arms and glaring at Happy.
"It was nothing, she just wanted to tell me thanks for bringing her down. Told her I was just following orders." He said with a shrug of his shoulders.
"Hmm," replied Jax, highly suspicious of the situation. There seemed to be something strange going on between his sister and the club killer but he wasn't going to question it yet. When time to step in he would. She made stupid choices, especially when it came to men. But as her big brother, it was his job to protect her and he would at all cost.
Dropping their burners in the box, both men walking into the chapel taking their seats around the table. After everyone was in and the doors were closed Clay hit the gavel to quiet the room.
"Alright everyone. As most of you know, Mayans have been attempting to further their drug pipeline to the North. As a courtesy to our Northern brother's, we're going to cut that shit off right here. In order to do that, we need to kill the distributors for the North. Juice has lined up 3 main safe houses we are going to hit tonight. Luckily we've got the torture king himself here to help," he said nodding to Happy. "I'm sure this will be a quick job gentlemen. As for splitting up tonight, I've got myself, Tig and Chibs on one house. Jax, Kozik, Bobby on another. Then Happy, Juice, and Lorca will hit the third. Every group will have a xage to hide their packages. You know the routine men, get in, get us a friend, get out. I want this done quick and safe. Now y'all get out there and fill up on some grub and we will get ready to head out."
Banging the gavel, the men filtered out of the room towards the food. Happy's mind wandered to his girl. Hopefully they get this snatch and grab done, Happy would work some magic and they'd be headed home soon. But things never could go as planned.
