Family over everything

Chapter 50

Happy headed to the diner the next day for lunch. His cousin was already there with a very pregnant girl by his side. The girl looked terrified. Happy slid into the booth. Tony looked up at him and smiled slightly. 

"Hap, this is Lauryn," Tony said. 

"Sorry we had to meet like this," Happy told her. 

She barely looked up as she nodded at him. He sighed. Tony put his arm around the girl and kissed the side of her head. 

"So tell me what happened," Happy said, getting right to the point. 

"My sister's ex-boyfriend killed Damon Pearson in front of us. He threatened to kill us if we said anything to anyone. He said they were going to be pinning it on a Son so that they could get rid of them one at a time," she said softly. 

"What's his name sweetheart?"

"His name is Eric Darnell Anderson."

Happy nodded. He looked at Tony. The guy ran with the Niners. It confused Happy for the most part as they were good with the Niners. She shook her head for a moment. 

"Eric wants to take over the Niners and run the Son's out of the equation," she said. 

"You've heard this?" Happy asked. 

The girl in front of him nodded again. 

"You said he is your sister's ex?" Happy asked. 

"Yeah, she caught him cheating on her and left him. He was trying to beat the girl into submission anyway. She was done," Lauryn replied. 

Happy nodded. 

"You two can come to the clubhouse so we can keep you safe," he said. 

"Sarah left town. She's safe. I couldn't leave because I wasn't going to take Tony from your family or take the baby from him." she said. 

"Well still, you can come to the clubhouse and we can figure something out."

Lauryn nodded. Happy had to head back to set their tech guy on the hunt for this guy. He got him working on it as soon as he was back on the lot. Tony arrived later with Lauryn in tow. They were going to set them up in the cabin so that they were safe for now. Happy was going to need Lauryn to be able to prove that he wasn't the one who had done it. 

When Happy returned home that night, Allison was in the kitchen. She looked over at him as he entered the room. He put his hands on her hips and kissed her lips. 

"Hi handsome, how was your day?" she asked, smiling. 

"It was good. We need to talk," he said. 

Her smile dropped and she looked concerned. He shook his head. 

"It's about my lunch with Tony." he said. 

"What happened?" she asked. 

"Tony's girlfriend apparently saw Damon murdered by her sister's ex boyfriend. She gave me a name and I have it being looked into now. The guys are taking them up to a safe place so the guy can't get to them and I will be cleared."

Allison's eyes widened. She stared at her husband.

"Are you serious?" she asked. 

"I didn't want to tell you last night and have it turn out to be bullshit," he said. 

"So that's why you were meeting Tony today? Not just catching up?"

"Unfortunately no, I had to know there was something to this. I didn't want to get your hopes up and it turn out to be bullshit."

Allison nodded. He was waiting on her to get angry that he had kept it from her. She stared at him for a moment. 

"So it's not bullshit?" she asked. 

"Nope, it's all legit. I just have to deal with everything now," he said. 

She nodded and put her arms around his neck. She sighed. 

"I should be angry with you for not telling me," she said. 

"Yeah you probably should," he agreed. 

"But I'm not. I get it."

His face broke into a smile and he kissed her lips again. 

"I love you Allison. I know that I screwed up in the past but I'm trying to make it all right," he said. 

"I know you are and that's why I'm not upset about this," she replied. 

"I would give you the world if I could babe."

She nodded. He smiled. He went to kiss her again. 

"Ew," Noah yelled from the door. 

Happy laughed as he pulled back from his wife. Allison giggled and looked over at her son. He had a clearly disgusted look on his face. 

"So are Tony and the girl ok?" she asked Happy.

"Yeah, they will be fine. Tony's actually going to be a dad," Happy said. 

"Really?" 

He nodded. She smiled at him. 

"Does Yolanda know?" she asked. 

"I don't know, honestly," he replied. 

"She'll be so excited about it."

He nodded. She smiled. They sat down with the kids for dinner that night. Ryder was next to his dad. Noah sat next to his mother. It was a nice family meal. 

"We have another family dinner coming up," Happy told her. 

"Yeah? Where?" she asked.

"Gemma's of course."

She nodded. 

"What do I need to bring this time?" she asked. 

"Not sure. I'll find out though." he replied. 

"Sounds good."

"Dad, can we go back to school?" Ryder asked. 

"Soon bud," Happy replied. 

The little boy nodded. Allison had been doing some homeschooling with them both since they had been home. He knew that Ryder was ready to get back to his friends at school. He wanted this situation over with though. Allison finished their bedtime routine and got the kids into bed before snuggling up with her husband on the couch. It was just a matter of time before it was over and they could go back to living their lives the way that they always had. Allison fell asleep in his arms on the couch. He carried her down to bed before returning to lock up the house and then join her in their bed.
