A Fickle Affair

Chapter 24

Waking up the next morning, I run to the bathroom getting sick. When I come out of the bathroom, Happy is sitting on the side of the bed. "You okay?" he asked. "Yeah. Just your kid trying to kill me." I tell him smiling. He looks at me and doesn't smile. Walking over to him, I step between his knees and make him look at me. "Hey. What's up?" I asked him. "Nothing babe." he says and tries to get up. I push him back down and say "No, we talk about shit. Now, talk." I tell him. He sighs and puts his hands on my hips, rubbing his thumbs on my stomach. "Just thinking about things. We're having a kid. I just don't want to be the same shit dad that mine was." he tells me. "Are you going to leave?" I asked. He looks at me and says "Hell no." he tells me. "Are you going to abuse me or the baby?" I asked. "Never." he says. "Then you are already a hundred times better father then he was. Baby, as long as you are there, protect us and don't abuse us, you will be a great father." I tell him. He kisses me softly and says "Thank you."

We head to the kitchen and I go to start breakfast. "Why don't we go to the diner?" he asked. "Yeah. Okay." I say. We head outside and we get into his truck since I can't ride. Walking into the diner, we get the booth in the back and I sit on one side and he takes the same side. Sliding into the booth, he puts his arm around me and pulls me to him. We order our food and while we are waiting on the food, Happy tilts my head up and kisses me softly. "I was thinking, I know you have your studio in the spare room but I was thinking about since we need that for the nursery but what would you think about, since the basement is finished, turning that into your studio. It's more room and you can make a man cave out of part of it?" I asked. "Are you sure?" he asked. "Hap, it's our house. Not mine. Ours. You have done so much for me and I want to do something for you." I tell him. Kissing me softly he says "We'll get started on it this weekend." he tells me.

After eating, we head home and he gets his bike to head to the garage for his shift. Sitting back down on the couch with my laptop to get some work done. After answering emails and looking over notes that Leah sent, I finally start looking online at things for the nursery. After making a list of things we would need, I start looking at ideas for Happy's mancave. I save some ideas on the computer to show Happy when he gets home.

Getting up, I get the house cleaned up and laundry done as well as starting dinner. Dinner is about done when Happy comes home. "Hey babe." he says and kisses my cheek like he does every night. "Hey baby. Dinner's about done." I tell him. He showers and walks into the kitchen as I am plating his food. Sitting down together, we talk as we eat. "So, what did you get done today?" he asked. "I made a list of things of things for the nursery and looked at some decorating ideas. I want to do neutral colors and a neutral theme." I tell him. "That's good. Means we don't have to wait until the last couple of months to get things together." he tells me. "That's what I was thinking." I tell him. "I also took care of some work emails and shit like that. I also looked at some ideas for the mancave that I wanted to show you. That way we can get an idea of where we need to start." I tell him. "Sounds like you were productive today." he tells me. "Yeah. How was your day?" I asked. "Good. Worked at the garage and took care of some things for the club." he tells me. He didn't go into details so I know that it wasn't anything too important. We finish eating and I clean up the kitchen. I walk into the living room and sit on the couch next to Happy. He pulls me to him and we watch a movie. When it gets time to head to bed, I snuggle into his side and I fall asleep with my head on his chest, listening to his heart beat.
