Isabella was happy and that made Happy happy. Axel had passed out on the way home so while Happy was bringing their bags and the car seat in, she was opening the door and getting their son to the nursery so she could lay him down. "I'm calling in for dinner. Flying wears you out." she told him when she entered the living room, "I'll do the laundry later." He told her he'd call in their dinner while she got the laundry going earning a head nod in response. She curled up on the couch next to him while he wrapped an arm around her shoulders. She told him what a great time she'd had and stated how happy it made her that he was able to join them.

He just kissed her forehead as he got settled to watch TV and maybe take a nap. A little while later, she got up to do their laundry. While she was busy, he called in their dinner order. Axel had woken up so Happy walked down to the nursery to fetch him and bring him into the living room. When Isabella left the laundry room, she found Happy sitting on the floor playing with his son. With a smile, she took her phone and began videoing the pair. It was cute how sweetly Happy was talking to their son even though he didn't want that fact getting out to anyone. She loved seeing her husband interacting with the child.

Dinner was spent eating in silence with the exception of talking to Axel. It was a normal occurrence in the household. Each had to get back to work the next day and she wanted to get Axel back on his normal schedule. Both were a more tired than they realized when they went to bed. She simply curled up into his side as he wrapped an arm around her shoulders and placed his other hand beneath his head. Although Happy had been in a deep sleep, something woke him up. He listened for a minute before shaking Isabella awake. "Call Tig and head into the nursery. Stay there." Happy instructed her as he took his gun out of its holster.

She quickly grabbed her cell phone and followed him out of their bedroom. While Happy was creeping down the hallway, she hit the speed dial to Tig's number. It rang and rang making her pray for him to wake and answer the call. She was about to hang up when he answered it.

"Doll? Why are you calling me in the middle of the night?" Tig's sleepy voice asked.

"Tig, someone's here. Happy told me to call you. Please hurry, I'm scared. I have no idea what's going on. It sounds like a scuffle in the kitchen." Isabella blurted out in one breath.

"Hold tight, Doll. I'm coming. Get somewhere safe and I'll be there in minute." Tig stated before hanging up to get dressed.

Isabella stayed near the crib and cringed each time she heard what sounded like glass breaking or something hitting the wall. She was worried about her husband. She was afraid of what could happen to her and her son if something happened to Happy. Tig dressed as quickly as he could then took off for his bike. He sped through lights and stop signs to get to the condo as fast as he could. Parking next to Happy's bike, he took the stairs two-by-two and didn't bother knocking when he came to their door. He assessed the scene as he made his way through the living room.

He found his brother and some Mexican fighting in the kitchen. The Mexican was bigger than Happy and his brother was starting to struggle to keep control of the situation. Tig could see Happy bleeding from his chest. He rushed over and with the butt of his gun, hit the Mexican as hard as he could in the back of the head. The Mexican hit the ground with a 'oomf'. Happy nodded at Tig as they stood there.

"I'll get the rope." Happy simply stated.

"I'm calling Chibs. You need to be looked at. Then I'm calling the prospect to bring the van around." Tig stated as he whipped his phone out.
