Calming The Storm

Chapter fourty-nine

Smoke's pov

"I want Lyla to come over. Is that okay?" I ask Happy.

"Of course." He says.

After twenty minutes she showed. I told her about the letters.

"Well he's right about Happy protecting you and loving you. He knows you will be taken care of. He knows your gonna be safe and with a great man. Your always gonna be loved and be safe. You'll always be taken care of." She says taking my hand.

"No matter where life takes us, I will be by your side. You bring out the best in me." Happy says.

I smile, let go of Lyla's hand and hug Happy. My phone then rang.

"Hello?.. this is she... thank you bye." I say.

I then look at Lyla and Happy.

"Juice is getting buried today. Next to Jaunita. Will you both come with me so I don't have to be alone?" I ask.

"Of course." Lyla says.

"I'll drive us." Happy says getting the keys to my car.

We then left. We all then see Tully with a bag.

"He told me about your daughter. I'm sorry Smoke. He also wanted you to have some things." He says.

Ha gave me the bag he was holding but I haven't opened it. After the service, Tully and the guard left.

"Can I have a moment alone with them?" I ask.

Lyla nodded and walked to the car and Happy kissed my head then went to the car.

"Nita. You finally get to meet your daddy. He loves you very much. You'll be safe. You have so many people that will take care of you. Your grandma, Uncle Ope, uncle Bobby, pawpaw Piney, pap pap (Clay), auntie Tara, your daddy, you already met your first grandpa. Your uncle Jax is on the way (I then started to cry) when you were in my stomach he would write to me saying how excited he was to meet you. He loves you so much. Almost as much as your daddy and I. Your gonna be taken care of babygirl (I then sat down) (also looked beside her where Juice was buried.) Take care of her. As hard as it may sound, I'm gonna miss you Juan. I still love you. I mean I have too. I promised." I say.

I then got up and walked to Happy. He wrapped me in his arms as I cried.

"It's okay darling. I'm here.. it's okay... let's go home." He says.

We arrived at home and Lyla left.

"What did Tully give you baby?" He asks.

I opened the bag.

"His cut.. his rings.. his wedding ring that he put on a chain. I guess he took it off when he decided all of that." I say.

"You know he always wanted you with him in a way." Happy says.

I nod.

"You need to finish his letter dear." Happy says.

"First I need to go to his house. Take care of things." I say. Happy and I left.

Most of everything was already packed. I left all the furniture and appliances. I just wanted clothes and small things. I'm gonna put the house up for sale. We took some boxes to storage and some to mine and Happy's house.

We then both looked at his cut.

"If you done mind, could it be hung up?" I ask.

"It's no problem." He says as Tig and Chibs walk in the door.
