Lexi took a long shower. Not just to make sure to get all the died blood off her arm but she needed the time to think. She knew she mouthed off. She also knew there would be consequences. Being club princess or the enforcer's Old Lady didn't give her higher standing than the VP's Old Lady. Even if Wendy started the bullshit. She was sure Happy's threat also wouldn't be taken lightly.
There was just something about Wendy that had always pissed her off. Maybe it was how she felt about Tara, Jax's first love. Her brother was a different man when he had been with her. Tara made him better. Lexi had secretly wished when Tara left, that Jax would go too. For some reason though, he refused to leave his legacy of the club. Not like it was much to brag about. Wendy was all about the life and the drama it brought along. But Lexi felt that had more to do with the money than her love for Jax. More money meant more dope in Wendy's druggie eyes.
When she started to feel the water going cold, Lexi got out of the shower and got dressed simply. Just a pair of cut off shorts and a dark grey tank top that showed her growing bump. The secret was out anyway and she wanted to make sure to leave Happy easy access to her arm for him to bandage it. Plus he had a soft spot for her baby belly, if anything it would calm him. Maybe it could help dissipate any anger he was still feeling. She decided to leave her hair loose around her shoulders with just a simple brush through and her face clear of makeup. Since it and her straightener were still in her brother's dorm. It was just the regular members around the club house so she didn't worry about getting fancy. Most of them had been around to watch her grow up. No one cared if she looked all done up.
Leaving Happy's dorm, Lexi quickly found him sitting on one of the leather couches with Kozik. Making a quick stop at the bar she grabbed a water and two beers for the men. As she made her way across the room all eyes seemed to be on her. She didn't think twice before setting Kozik's beer in front of him and climbing into Happy's lap handing him his own beer. It was almost as if they were back in Tacoma at Happy and Lexi's house on any typical night. Happy wrapped one arm around her waist and let the other lay across her legs with a tight grip on her upper thigh.
"Feel better?" He asked.
"Much, especially now," she replied, resting her head on his shoulder and snuggling into him.
"Gross, keep the lovey dovey shit at your house," Kozik told her with a chuckle. "You're making Killa look soft."
"Fuck you, Herman," She retorted with a quick kick to his side.
"I mean, I could take you up on that offer but I like my life," he told her. Stopping the flirting quickly once he caught the glare from Happy. "No one want to see that shit anyways. You're gonna kill his image and make him look like a pussy."
"Shit if anything I've made her more vicious. Damn girl keeps trying to throw hands with everyone," Happy laughed. Lexi stuck her tongue out in response. Happy laughed again and whispered in her ear, "I can think of something better for you to do with that tongue."
Her cheeks were instantly flaming red with his comment. The club members may be known for being pretty vulgar and Happy had said his fair share too but that was always in the bedroom or when they were alone. Never out in the open like this. Smacking his chest, she scolded him, "Seriously Hap!"
"I'm just saying," he shot back with a shrug of his shoulders and took a swig of his beer.
"The way you two go at it, I'm shocked it took you as long as it did to get knocked up," Kozik told the couple shaking his head at them.
"Hey, I was always safe and we both know how paranoid this one can be. I still have no clue how this happened," Lexi defended.
"Well sweets I figured you'd have had this talk by now but apparently not so I'll take the honors. When a boy likes a girl and they get feelings for each other or get super plastered off their asses, in your case both, they decide to do grown up things. So the boy puts his peni-"
"Shut up! God, why are you always like this. I've had the sex talk idiot," Lexi informed Kozik quickly cutting him off from going any further.
"Clearly you didn't listen well..." he trailed off with a chuckle.
Happy just laughed at the interaction. This was what he missed most lately with his busy schedule and the shitty week they'd had in Charming. His girl in his arms giggling while just hanging out with his closest friend was exactly what he needed. It still shocked him how domestic his life had become.
Happy was grateful for all the good things in his life currently. His ma's cancer treatments were going well and she would hopefully soon be in remission. He had fell for this amazing, beautiful woman who knew club life and what all it entailed including his special expertise. Then of course that they were starting their own little family. In just a few months, they would be welcoming their tiny Lowman into the world and that was the last thing Happy ever thought of for himself. He never believed he would make it this far or that he even deserved it but he wouldn't change the outcome.
Happy was quickly drawn out of his thoughts when he noticed Lexi tense up in his lap. Scanning the room, he saw Clay making his way across the room and coming towards them. "Happy, you get what we need?"
"I think so. The rat has more to squeal though. Just taking a break to check on Lex while Tig takes another go," Happy told him unconsciously tightening his grip on Lexi's waist and leg trying to comfort her.
"Good. That's what I like to hear," He told him. Shifting his attention to his daughter, "Your mother wants a family dinner tonight at 6. She wants you at our house by 4 to help cook."
"Hap? You good with that?" Lexi asked her boyfriend. She knew he'd leave the decision to her but she wasn't about to give her father the satisfaction of undermining Happy or thinking she wasn't complacent. Add in the fact she didn't want to be alone with her mother, she hoped Happy would catch her hint.
"Yeah babe we can go. Dinner should be fine if you want but with your arm I don't want you to be cooking. Especially after your stitches getting fucked up by Wendy earlier," Happy replied quickly catching on to Lexi's game.
"What did she do?" Clay questioned.
"Showed up on a bender and tried taking it out on Lex. It's been taken care of," Happy explained.
"Good. Bitch needs put in her place. I'll let Gem know you'll be coming by," Clay gave his daughter a kiss on the forehead and walked away.
"God, that was fucking tense. I've never seen him question your work. Let alone the blunt way he talked to you. He's always acted like you walked on water and shit rainbows," Kozik told his friend.
"Welcome to the life of being the scorned child's spouse," Lexi said dropping her head. She hated the way her father was treating Happy and that other people were noticing. Even more so since she knew it was her fault. The last thing she wanted was for Happy to look bad to anyone.
"Wouldn't have it any other way baby girl," Happy told her bringing her lips to his in a heated kiss to attempt to rid her of her now sullen mood. As the kiss further intensified, Lexi wrapped her arms around Happy's neck and shoulders beginning to shift herself into a straddling position on his lap while he firmly grasped her ass.
"Damn it! I thought I just told you two to keep it in the fucking bedroom," Kozik mock scolded them.
Standing easily from the couch, they both gave him the finger as Lexi wrapped her legs around Happy's waist without disconnecting their lips. Happy started to make his way down the hall towards his room. The cheers and wolf whistles from the others only egging him on further. He wanted his girl and he wanted her now.
