To Love a Son

Thirty One

A/N:

This is the second to last chapter!!!! That's right! After everything we have been through with Carmen and Happy, it's finally coming to an end!

Please let me know what you think! Thank you for reading and joining me on this journey!

I woke up with strong tattooed arms wrapped around my naked waist and couldn't help the smile that slid to my lips. The comfort and safety I felt from him was incredible, I knew that as long as he was with me, nothing could hurt me. My life had done a complete 180 in the last year and at this point, I wouldn't really change anything.

I lifted his hand to my lips and placed a kiss on his rough knuckles before attempting to climb out of bed. I use the word attempted because his grip quickly tightened on me, pulling my back against his chest. Still, I smiled even as he groaned.

"Where you going woman?" His morning voice was more horse than normal which caused a heat to run through my body.

"I have to pee, Happy." Again, he groaned but let me go only to watch me with lustful eyes as I crossed the room and reached the bathroom. I did my business, brushed my teeth and ended up getting in the shower. I thought I'd have a peaceful shower alone, assuming Hap had fallen back asleep.

I assumed wrong.

The shower door opened and his large body came to stand behind mine. Like magnets, his hands found their way to my waist and he pulled me into him as his lips came to my neck. I couldn't help but giggle.

"Hap, we have to get to ma's."

My fail at an argument didn't deter him at all, if anything it urged him on. I allowed his hands to roam and my moan told him just how much I liked it.

This is why I tried to shower when he is gone.

"Merry Christmas, Carmen." His lips kissed the spot under my ear as I buttoned my jeans.

"Merry Christmas." Smiling over my shoulder at him, I stole a kiss before walking to the closet where I slipped on a pair of boots and grabbed my leather jacket. "Are the presents already in my car?"

"Yup."

"Are the cookies and pies in the car?"

"Yup."

"Are you excited to be surrounded my family?"

"Ugh." His grunt caused me to laugh.

I grabbed my pursed and he was quick to follow me out the door, locking it behind us. I felt a quick slap to my ass before Hap made his way to his bike and I climbed into my car.

Christmas was finally upon us and that only meant one thing, my mother's house was going to be complete chaos. Jax would be there with Tara and Abel, Bobby, Tig, Opie and Lyla as well their kids, and Juice and Chibs would all be there. The presents were mostly for the kids, we weren't that big on exchanging gifts within the adults unless we thought it mandatory to do so. I had gotten something for Op's kids, Abel, my mom and Clay. Of course, I also got something for Happy.

At the thought of Happy's gift I couldn't help but smile wide as butterflies filled my body. A little chuckle could even be heard as I tried to maintain my calm, I didn't want to give anything away. And if I didn't get my shit together, my mother would know the moment I walked into the door.

By the time we pulled up to moms and I parked, Juice, Chibs, and Opie came out to help Happy carry the food and gifts inside.

"Merry Christmas Car!" Juice pulled me into a tight hug and I was quickly passed to Chibs and Opie.
