Coming Together

Chapter 12

Waking up the next morning, we start getting ready and before we leave the dorm, he stops me. "You okay?" he asks. "Yeah babe. I'm good." I tell him. "Did you sleep much?" he asks. I shake my head no. He pulls me to the bed and sits down as he pulls me into his lap. "Talk to me little girl." he says. I look down at his hand in my lap and I lace my fingers with his. "Just scared she won't like me." I say softly. He says "Look at me." I look up at him and he says "She's going to love you. You know why?" he asks and I shake my head. "Because I love you. Babe, I've never even thought about taking an Old Lady much less getting married. She's going to love you because all she wanted for me was to get married and have a family and I'm getting that with you." he tells me. "Happy? You want a family?" I ask. "I didn't until I met you." he tells me. I take a deep breath and stand up. "Let's go see your mom." I tell him and he smirks before kissing me deeply and we head out the door.

Pulling up to a little house, we get off the bike and we head inside. "Ma? You here?" he calls out. "Kitchen mijo." she says. We walk into the kitchen and he walks over and hugs his mom. "I want you to meet someone." He says and turns to me. She looks at me and then him and he says "Ma, meet Marci...my wife." She looks at him shocked before walking over to me and pulling me into a hug. "It's so good to meet you mija." she says. "It's good to meet you too Mrs Lowman." I say. "Now none of that Mrs Lowman shit. You call me Maria or Ma." she tells me and I smile. "Thank you Maria." I say and she smacks Happy in the chest. "Shit. What did I do?" he asks. "You got married and didn't tell me you were seeing anyone." she tells him. We move to the table and sit and he says "We got married in Tacoma a couple of days ago. Then headed down here. Got to Charming yesterday to check in. Looks like I'm transferring to Charming." he tells her and she smiles. "So, am I at least going to get grandchildren?" she asks him. "That's the plan." he says before winking at me and I blush. "How did you two meet?" she asks. "She was in the hospital and Koz's Old Lady helped get her away from her ex and when we helped her get away, I didn't want to leave her side and I claimed her." he tells her and she smiles. She looks at me and asks "Are you okay now?" I nod and say "I am. Thanks to Happy. My ex was abusive but Happy showed me that all guys weren't like him. Don't get me wrong, I know what he's capable of but he makes me feel safe." I tell her and she pats his hand and you can see how proud she is of him.

After visiting with her for a while, we head back towards Charming. Stopping at a diner, we head inside to eat and while we're eating, we're talking. "You feeling better about shit?" he asks. "Yeah. I was so scared she wasn't going to like me." I tell him. "Told you she'd love you." he tells me and I look up at him. "I love you." he says and I blush a little and say "I love you too Hap." After we eat, the waitress brought the bill and when he looks at it, his mood changes. "What's wrong?" I ask. I pick the bill up off the table and see I get off at 8. I look at Happy and smirk. "Let me handle this babe." I say and he hands me the money for the bill. "Head out to the bike." I tell him. He stands up and kisses me softly before heading out to the bike. I walk to the counter and pay the bill and the same waitress that left the note on the bill. She watches him walk to the bike and bites her lip. "He's fine as hell isn't he?" I ask and she looks at me. "He is." she says. "Big dick too." I tell her and she smirks. "Really." she says and looks back at him. "Yeah. That's why I married him. Gotta lock that big dick down." I tell her. "Married?" she asks. "Yeah. Happily. Next time you leave a note for a customer? Make sure that it's not his wife that's sitting with him. I mean...you're cute and all but honey, I don't think you could handle what he throws down." I tell her as I head towards the door. I walk out to the bike and he's sitting on it with my helmet in one hand and his in the other. Handing me mine, I grab the back of his head and crash my lips with his and when we separate, I get on behind him and as we pull away, I do a little finger wave as she looks at us shocked.
