Sins of the Father

Chapter Thirty-Five: THE END

2010

"Wolf's spending the weekend over at Opie's place with Kenny," Mercy reminded her husband as she grabbed her car keys out of her purse. "Gemma's kidnapping Penny for a grandma weekend. She'll be here to get her in about an hour." Mercy gave him the weekend's plans for their nine and six-year-old children.

"Little girl," Happy got her attention and grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms before she could exit their bedroom. "I got it. Relax." He had her standing between his legs as he sat on the side of their bed. "What has you so worked up today? You're manic as fuck, babe." He pulled her to sit on his knee.

Mercy wrapped her arms around his neck and blurted out the news. "I'm kinda pregnant again."

Happy raised an eyebrow. "Kinda?"

"Definitely," she told him nervously. They had had every intention of being done with babies after Penny had been born two months early and scared the shit out of them. They had their son and daughter, and they thought their family was complete. See, this is why you don't tell God your plans...because he immediately starts laughing and plotting.

Happy smirked. "I already knew." He kissed her quickly. "I saw the test in the trash in the bathroom. Round three, huh?"

Mercy nodded and cracked a smile. "This better be the last round, or you can carry the next one."

"We'll see," Happy snarked. Then he reached up and tangled his hand in her long hair. "I fucking love you, Mercy." He pulled her mouth to his and damn near devoured her.

"MOM! WE'RE GONNA BE LATE!"

Their son's shout broke the couple apart.

"Boy, quit that screamin' in the house!" Happy hollered back. "Your momma will be there in a minute!"

Mercy pulled out of his arms. "Let me run Wolf over to Opie's place. Gemma should be here for Penny by the time I get back. I'll be all yours until Sunday afternoon."

"You're all mine, all the time," Happy growled as he got to his feet and stole another kiss. "But I want some time alone with my old lady to celebrate our good news."

"I'll get going then." Mercy couldn't ignore the pleasant shiver that went down her spine. A decade in, and Happy could still reduce her to mush, and she was now craving some time alone with him. "Love you, babe."
