Family over everything

Chapter 51

Allison got up with the kids the next morning. Happy was going to be heading out to have Lauryn speak with his attorney. It would fix everything. He came out of the bedroom and looked at his wife. She smiled. He walked over and kissed her lips before heading out the door. She got the kids breakfast and got the boys working on their online school. They were doing well with their schooling and Allison was trying to make sure that they got time out of the house as well even though she was extremely cautious about them being out in public. She took them to the park after they did some of their school work. 

"Mama," Ryder said. 

"What baby?" she asked. 

"Can we go see dad on the lot?"

"Yeah we have a bit of time before needing to be home. We gotta get lunch and get the babies down for a nap,"

"Ok."

They headed to the car and she drove them to the lot. Happy was in the garage working on his bike. The older boys ran over to their dad. Allison got the two babies out of the vehicle after letting Emersyn out of her seat. She walked toward the bay. Happy was listening to his boys as he kept working til he spotted her coming toward him. 

"Hey gorgeous," he said. 

"Hey handsome, how's your day going?" she asked. 

"Better that I'm here instead of the other place."

She chuckled. He cleaned his hands and took Mason from her arms so she could shift Maia. He looked at his kids. Tony and Lauryn walked out of the clubhouse. Allison smiled when she saw her husband's cousin. The couple walked their way. 

"Hey Tony," she grinned. 

"Hey Al, how is it going?" Tony asked. 

"It's been going, that's for sure. How are things for you?"

"Gonna be a dad soon,"

"That's incredible, have you told your mom?"

"She knows. I'm surprised that she didn't tell you guys."

"She's never said a word."

"She probably didn't want to bring it up with everything you two were going through."

"We are doing well now. It's been ok, other than the stupid shit with Damon."

Tony nodded. Lauryn remained quiet as they talked. Allison looked over at her. 

"Hi, I'm Allison, Happy's wife," she said. 

"I'm Lauryn," Lauryn replied. 

"It's nice to meet you. And congratulations on the little one."

"Thank you. You guys have quite the brood."

"Five total."

Lauryn nodded. 

"Do you know what you're having?" Allison asked. 

"It's a girl," Lauryn said. 

"Do you have everything you need for her?"

"We don't have anything yet," Tony spoke up. 

"I'm sure we have a ton of stuff from Maia if you guys want to take a look." Allison smiled. 

"That would be incredible," Lauryn replied. 

"It's not a problem. I'm happy to see it go to someone who can use it rather than it just sitting in a box taking up space."

Lauryn nodded. She was looking back and forth between Maia and Mason. 

"Are they twins?" she asked. 

The kids had run off to play again which Allison was thankful for. She didn't like talking about the things that she and Happy had dealt with in front of them even though they had lived it. 

"They are not twins actually. They are a few months apart. It's all part of this messed up situation we are in right now," Allison said. 

"Oh, I'm so sorry," Lauryn said. 

"Honestly, I'm not anymore. I can't picture life without Maia no matter how she got here. She is our baby and she's just as spoiled as the rest of them."

"So her mother is where?"

"She isn't in the picture. She abandoned Maia at the hospital."

Allison was very cautious about how she discussed anything that had to deal with Lyssa. She wasn't going to implicate Happy in anything or that they knew anything about where Lyssa might be. She didn't care that Lauryn was technically family since she was with Tony. It was all about trust and Lauryn had to earn that. 

"Oh babe, before I forget, I have to meet with Lowen this afternoon," Happy said. 

"All right, for what?" she asked him. 

"Lauryn's going to let her know what she knows and we are going to finish this witch hunt."

Allison nodded. She was ready for it to be over. She was ready for her husband to be happier with his position in the club. He was on the back burner right now and he hated it. She was glad that he didn't have to worry about going to jail right now. She knew that it was always a possibility with what he did for the club and she had other ways to handle things. She was always looking into the next venture. Mason started to fuss in his father's arms. 

"I need to get them home for lunch and a nap," she said. 

Happy nodded. He walked her to the SUV and called the other three kids. They all loaded up into the vehicle. She smiled at him. He kissed her lips before closing the driver's side door. She rolled the window down. 

"I'll be home in time for dinner," he said. 

"Sounds good, love," she replied. 

"I love you Allison," 

"I love you too Happy."

He went back to work and she took the kids home. She fed all five of them and got the three younger ones down for a nap. Emersyn had been really grouchy on the way home from the auto shop. The older boys went back to working on school work while the babies napped. Allison did the dishes and started a load of laundry. She had everything picked up and clean before the kids got up from their nap. She sat down to think about what she was going to do to help Happy out but also get herself out of the house. She wanted to help her family. She wasn't sure how Happy was going to feel about it though when she brought up the idea.
