Chapter 14

Laying in bed, I have Vic in my arms, feeding him. I look up and see Happy watching us. "What?" I asked. "I never thought I'd have an Old Lady, much less a kid." he says. "Well, I never thought I would be married with a kid either." I tell him, looking back down at Vic. I see him looking up at me with his daddy's eyes and smile. "He looks like you, you know." I tell him. "He has your nose and your lungs." he says and I laugh a little. I keep looking at Vic and I feel Happy putting his arm around me and pulling us into his side. "What are you thinking?" he asked. "Nothing. It's stupid." I tell him. He tilts my head to look at him and says "Talk to me." I wipe a tear from my face and say "Something Gemma said. She said you won't want my 'stretched out ass' anymore." He kisses me softly and says "You are the only one I want. Promise." He wipes the rest of my tears and says "She's only saying that shit because she knows your hormones are still for shit and thinks it will help her break you. Don't let it. Vic is only a few days old and you are back in the jeans you had before you got pregnant. It's killing me laying next to you knowing I can't touch you." I burp Vic and take him to his room and put him in his crib and just stand there watching him. After a couple of minutes, Happy walks in and stands behind me, looking at him over my shoulder and puts his arms around my waist. I pull away from him and walk out of the room and to the back deck.

Happy follows me out and pulls me to him. "Talk to me. Please baby." he says. I pull away again and say "I get it if you need that release. You can have a free pass while I recover." I tell him, looking out to the yard. "Hell no. I told you, you are all I want. I don't want those fucking croweaters. I only want you. I can take care of things myself until then." he says and pulls me back to him. I try to pull away but he doesn't let me. "Don't pull away." he says finally. I look up at him and say "I love you Happy. I really do." He kisses me and picks me up and sits me on the railing of the deck. "I love you too baby. Don't let her mess with your head. I'll take care of that shit." he says and starts kissing me again. I feel his hardening member press up against me. Pulling back, I say "Let's head to bed and I'll take care of that for you." I take his hand and lead him to the bedroom to take care of my Old Man.

The next morning, I wake up and can hear Happy over the baby monitor. "Hey little dude. You hungry?" he says to the baby. "Here you go. Daddy's got you buddy." he says and I can hear him talking more the Vic, telling him that we love him and will protect him. That makes me wonder if something else is going on. I get out of bed and head to the nursery and see him sitting there rocking our son. He looks up and says "Hey babe." I walk over and kiss both my boys and say "Morning. You were saying something to Vic about we would protect him. Is there something I should know?" I asked. "No. Just making sure he knows that." he says and I look at him. "Seriously, things are good. I'd tell you if they weren't." he says. I head to the door and say "I'll get breakfast started so come to the kitchen when you finish with him." Happy nods and I walk to the kitchen to get started.

A few minutes later, Happy walks in with Vic and sits at the table. There's a knock on the door and both my dad and Luanne are standing there. Happy lets them in and Luanne takes Vic from him. "How you doing baby boy?" she coos to him and I can't help but smile at my happy family.
