Happy was awoken by Lexi stirring next to him. His eyes instantly jumped open, body tensing as he tried to sense for possible danger.
"It's all good body guard, I just have to pee," she told him pecking his cheek as she walked to the bathroom.
"Not my fault you move so much and make me paranoid," he grumbled at her. Lexi only laughed in response as she closed the bathroom door.
Her laugh was like music to his ears. Hell just hearing her give him shit was good enough for him after the past few days. He hoped she was no longer going to hide in the shell that had formed and instead go back to the woman he fell for. Looking towards the clock, Happy saw it was already 8 a.m. How they had slept almost 10 hours straight, he had no clue other than Clay had to be avoiding him after last night's encounter. When Lexi walked from the bathroom he let his eyes wander her body.
Lexi's body had been amazing before but since she had become pregnant, it seemed like it drew him in even more.Yes, her personality was what drew him in but her body was a great extra that he had no issues admiring. She was one of the few who stood her ground against him and he loved it. But you wouldn't hear any complaints from him about her C cup tits growing larger by the day or the way her ass had seemed to grow more round as well with her pregnancy. The round bump was the only give away to her pregnancy but was barely noticeable unless your n knew what you were looking for or she was naked. Happy couldn't help but stare at the woman who had changed his life more than he ever expected or felt he deserved.
"Done staring creep?" She inquired pulling one of his shirts on and quickly ending his show.
"Call me creep again and I'll have you screaming like I did last night," he challenged her with a raised brow.
"Hmm tempting but I'm hungry," she said walking towards the door. "Someone decided we needed extra curriculars and I didn't get the dinner I was promised last night."
"I'll get you something," He said rising from the bed grabbing clothes as there was a knock on the door. After quickly pulling on his boxers and a pair of shorts he opened the door to see Gemma on the other side. "What?" He snapped at her.
"Brought breakfast. Wanted to make sure Lexi was eating with the baby and all." It was then Happy noticed the tray with oatmeal, fresh fruit, eggs and hash browns.
"Hungry?" Happy asked Lexi, looking back over his shoulder and opening the door just slightly so she was now visible to her mother.
"I'll eat. But you need to know Ma, just because I accept this doesn't change anything. I know Jax has already told you what I said last night. You're always his first stop. I'm not going to play the games anymore. My life is with Happy, wherever that takes us."
"I just want to make sure you're properly cared for baby girl. You've got precious cargo that needs special care," Gemma reasoned, trying to take a step closer into the room and her daughter but Happy instantly intervened and was blocking her path into his dorm. Happy grabbed the tray for Lexi. Not letting Gemma any further into the room.
"Happy takes damn good care of me and our child. He is the only one I trust fully with our lives," Lexi told her mother. She took a few steps towards her mother wrapping her arms around Happy to make her point more clear. "Our child only made him more protective of me. He's never raised a hand to me. He is always quick to ensure we have everything we could possibly need and more. We're a team and I only need him to feel safe," she continued knowing she made her point clear when Gemma dropped her head to the floor and retreated further back into the hall.
"I'm only doing what's right for you and this family, Princess."
"Ohh? Like when you got knocked up with me while still married to John? You've only ever cared for yourself and how to progress in the shadows as a woman in this club Ma. I've seen it my whole life. When John was pulling away from everything after Thomas, you got your hooks into Daddy so you could keep the Queen of the Bikers status." Lexi knew she hit a nerve the way her mother's eyes shot back up and her hand twitched. She had pushed it too far but once she started, it was full on word vomit. Happy watched as his woman got her strength back knowing full well Gemma was about to lash out. He'd seen her flip on Crow Eaters and Sweet Butts alike for less than what her daughter was spewing. But he stood at the ready. He'd be damned if he watched Gemma slap Lexi around again.
"Watch your tone little girl. You have no idea what you're talking about. John stepped out of our marriage long before anything happened with your father and I. You may think you've got the perfect life now, but just wait, Happy will show his true colors. Prove he's the same as all the other men in this club. Just out for a quick piece of ass," Gemma snarled at her daughter.
"That's enough," Happy demanded of both women in front of him. "You're done here," he said looking towards Gemma and closing the door in her face. Looking towards Lexi he shook his head, "You always gotta dig deep don't ya?"
With a shrug of her shoulders Lexi replied, "Not like she didn't deserve it after that bullshit last night. Plus she had no right assuming you're violent with me just because your club standing."
"Yeah well not everyone is used to hearing someone talk back to me. You're the only one I allow to do it and Koz has been the only witness," He told her setting the tray in front of her on the bed. "Eat and then try getting some more rest. I'm going to go see what's going on with our friends."
"Do you have to?"
"I was supposed to start into them last night but I guess after the festivities Clay wasn't about to come fucking with me," he explained as she started in on her food.
"I guess..." she muttered quietly starting the eat her food.
"I'll be back soon. If you don't want to deal with anyone just keep the door locked. Everyone will stay clear. I'll come back when I'm finished and cleaned up." Happy said kissing her as he stood to finish getting dressed.
"Hap?" she started as he was about to walk out the door. "How much longer do we have to be here?"
"I'll find out and let you know babe. I won't make you stay any longer than we have to. As soon as this shit is handled, we will go home."
"Okay," she said returning to her food. Kissing her again quickly he left the room to get started on the job at hand.
