Chapter 12

A couple of days later, we are headed home. Walking into the house, Venus and Janie are there with Vin. "Mamamama" Vin yells as he comes running up to me. Happy catches him before he gets to me and hands him to me after he sat Elena down. "Hey baby boy. How's mommy's boy?" I asked. He hugs me tight and says "Na na here?" I smile and say. "Yeah Elena's here. Wanna give sissy a kiss?" I asked and sat him down. He looks at Happy and Happy tells him "Gotta be easy kid." Vin walks over slowly and sits next to Elena's carrier. He leans over and kisses his sister and says "Hi Na na." I can't help but smile.

Sitting on the couch, Happy's phone rings. "Hey...yeah brother...shit...we're on our way." Happy says before hanging up. "What's wrong?" I asked. "We need to get the kids together and head to the clubhouse babe. My bike is already at the clubhouse so I'll drive you. Someone broke into Chibs' house. We are on lockdown until we find out who it is." he explains. "I'll get Elena and Vin ready. You grab our go bags out of the closet and get the kids buckled in." I say and he nods. After Happy explaining how things worked when we first got together, I keep go bags ready for all of us but Vin's was at Venus' house and Elena didn't have one yet. Getting our things together, Happy starts putting things in the car and helps get the kids buckled in and we head to the clubhouse.

As soon as we get to the clubhouse, Janie and Venus head out and help get the babies inside. I follow behind them with Happy behind me and as soon as we are inside, Chibs calls church. I look at Jarry and ask "You okay?" She looks at me with a sad smile and says "Yeah. Just a little pissed. They trashed my house." I nod and smile sadly back at her. "How's little man liking his sister being home?" she asks changing the subject. "So far so good." I say. Elena starts fussing a little and Vin is immediately beside her saying "Shhh Na na. I here." and she stops fussing and is looking at him. "Vin. Can you give Elena her binky?" I asked, handing it to him and he puts it in her mouth and sits beside her, holding her hand. "That is too cute." Janie says. "Yeah. It is. I just hope they stay this way." I tell her. "I'm sure they will.

Happy comes out of church and asks "Venus, can you watch the kids a minute?" She nods and he takes me back to one of the dorms. "We found who it is. Before we found you, Chibs killed a man named Jimmy O'Fallon. Apparently Jimmy had a daughter no one knew about and she's coming after Chibs. That's why she broke into his house. Left a note saying she was going after Chibs' daughter, Kerianne." he explains. "You have to go after her." I say. "We are but I wanted to tell you what was going on before we left." he says. "Good. Just please be careful." I say. Kissing me softly he says "I love you Lacey." I put my forehead to his and say "I love you too Happy. Always." We walk out to the main room and Happy misses Elena's head and picks up Vin and says "Be good for mommy and help her with sissy okay buddy." Vin hugs him and says "Bye daddy." Happy puts him down and kisses me again. "Be safe babe." He smiles and heads out the door.

Several hours have gone by and we see the guys heading back in. All but Happy. "Where is he?" I asked, frantic. Tig walks over to me and says "Lacey, we need to take you to St Thomas. Shit went south and the bitch shot him. She's dead but he took two shots." I look to Janie and she says "I got the kids. Go." Venus gets up and follows us out to ride with me. We take mine and Happy's truck with Tig driving.

Walking into St Thomas, I walk up to the front desk. "My husband was brought in. Happy Lowman?" She looks at her computer and says "Looks like he's in surgery. I can take you up there. Follow me." she says before leading us to the waiting room. "Can you tell us anything?" I asked. "I can't but someone will be out as soon as they can to fill you in." she says before walking off. Tig walks over to the machine in the corner and gets me a coffee. "What happened Tig?" I asked since it was just the three of us in the room. He sits next to me and leans in to tell me softly. "We went into the house where Jimmy's kid was. She hid in one of the closets and when we were clearing the house, he opened the door and she opened fire. We saw two entry wounds but he needed more than what Chibs could do." he tells me. I sigh and put my head in my hands, waiting.

An hour later, the doctor comes out and asks "Lowman family?" We stand up and I say "I'm his wife. How is he?" I asked. The doctor looks at me and says "He took two bullets. One to the shoulder and one to the stomach. We removed the bullets and stopped the bleeding and he's going to be fine. He's out of recovery so I can take you to him now." he says before leading us to Happy's room. Venus followed me in while Tig called everyone to fill them in and check on the babies. I walk over to Happy and sit on the bed beside him and lay my head on his good shoulder and start crying. I head him grunt a little and raise up to look at him. "Lace?" he asked. "Yeah baby. I'm here." I say. "Where are the kids?" he asked. "Janie has them at the clubhouse. Tig and Venus brought me." I say. "Okay." he says. I lean down and cup his face in my hands and kiss him softly. I whisper "I can't lose you." before I start crying again. "I'm not going anywhere baby. I promise." he whispers back. I kiss him again before Tig comes in. "Hey brother." Tig says. "Hey." Hap says. "Janie said the babies are good. Vin asked where you were and she told him you had to come help Daddy. He seemed okay with that answer." Tig says. "Good." I say. Tig and Venus settle on the couch in the room while I lay down on the bed with Happy while he sleeps. I could have lost my husband today. That's the last thought I have before drifting off to sleep next to Happy.
