Chapter 13

I wake up the next morning, hearing Happy groaning. Sitting up, I get off the bed and sit next to him. "You okay baby?" I asked. "Yeah. Just sore as hell." he says. Tig and Venus walk back into the room, holding breakfast and coffee. Handing me mine, and Hap his, Tig says "I called and checked on the kids. Vin keeps asking about coming to help Daddy. Janie says he hasn't left Elena's side." I smile. Happy says "That's my boy." Venus says "Janie said she would bring them for a few minutes so they could see you." I smile and say "Thanks guys." I look back at Happy and see him watching me. "What?" I asked. He pulls me back to him and whispers "I love you." I whisper "I love you too." Putting my forehead to his, I whisper. "I was scared I was gonna lose you Hap." He whispers back "I ain't leaving you and our kids anytime soon." I just wish I could believe that but what if the next time, it does kill him? I mean, I'm not going anywhere but still. What if next time is the last time?

An hour later, there's a knock on the door. Janie and Juice walk in with both kids in tow.

"Mamamama" Vin says before running over to me. "Hey baby boy. You been good for Aunt V and Aunt Janie?" I asked and he nodded his head yes. Handing me Elena, Vin moves over and snuggles against Happy. "Hey buddy." he says. "Daddy got boo boo?" Vin asked. "Yeah. Daddy's got a boo boo but I'm okay." he says and Vin smiles before snuggling back into Happy. Elena starts fussing and Vin says "Na na. Shhh." I start laughing and hand her to Happy and she immediately stops crying. "Seriously?" I asked. "She loves her Daddy." he says. Vin moves to me and says "I mamama." before kissing my cheek. "I love you too baby boy." We sit there for a little longer and Vin dozes off and so does Elena. "Let's get these babies back to the clubhouse." Janie says and they take the kids from us and leave us alone. "Come here." he says. I move closer and he says "Talk to me." Shaking my head I say "I'm okay Hap. Just worried. With the shit that's happened these last few days, new baby, you here, I'm just trying to wrap my head around it." I tell him. "I'm okay." he says. "I know. Just doesn't help when my hormones are still off. I'll be fine." I tell him. "Are you sure?" he asked. "Yeah baby. Promise." I tell him.

An hour later, the doctor comes in. "You seem to be responding nicely to the meds and if your vitals are still good in the morning, we will release you but you will have to be on bedrest for at least a week. Then we want to see you back here to check your stitches." he tells us. "Good. Thanks Doc." he says. The doctor leaves the room and I look back up at the TV while laying back next to him. I feel him rubbing his thumb over my knuckles and hear him chuckle. "What?" I asked. "Look at us. When I met you, I never thought we'd be married with kids." he says. "You ever wonder what would have happened if we hadn't met the way we did?" I asked. "Yeah. I still think we'd be right here where we are. Together with kids." he says. "You and the kids are more that I could have ever hoped for. Doing what I do? It's hard to find someone that doesn't run when they find out the things I do. But you stuck around. After all that you went through, you didn't get scared away. Why?" he asked. "Something about you told me that you would never hurt me and all the shit my ex put me through? There wasn't much more that would shock me. You know, once, he tied me up and locked me in the garage for two days? Didn't let me out until one of his buddies decided he wanted to fuck me." I tell him. "I didn't know that." he says. "Yeah. Then when his buddy was done, he left me lying in the floor naked and they took turns kicking me. One of his buddies decided that he wanted to be a little rougher than the rest and ran the blade across my back a few times. Cut me open so he could watch me bleed while he raped me." I tell him. "I didn't know that. Why didn't you tell me that?" he asked. "You already took care of my ex and most of the guys that he would bring over, I never heard their names. He would bring people over that he didn't even know. Just because one of his friends said he had a buddy that wanted to get laid." I said. "You know that will never happen to you again." he says. "I know. But you helped me get past all that. I know what you do. I know you love what you do. But I also know that you would never do anything to hurt me and I love you more for that." I tell him. Pulling me to him, he kisses me softly and says "I love you." Smiling into the kiss I whisper "I love you too."
