Chapter 23

The next morning, we head out of the safehouse and to Morgan's dad's house. Walking in the door, we head to her room and start packing things up. Putting the boxes in the van, we head to Happy's house. The guys bring everything in and she and I start unpacking it all.

Once done, we head out to the back deck with the guys. I go to sit in Juice's lap and Happy pulls Morgan into his lap. I see him putting his hand on her stomach and he leans forward and says "You're home Princess." He smiles when she kicks. "You're getting a kick out of her kicking." Morgan asks softly. "Yeah. Doesn't hurt you does it?" he asks. "Not really. She's been good about not kicking me that hard yet." Morgan says. "When are you wanting to go shopping?" I ask. Happy looks at her and says "You can go tomorrow." She nods. "While you and Liv are getting shit for the baby, Juice and I will find you a car." he says. "Happy..." she starts. "You need something to get around in for you and Molly." he says. "Okay." she says. After everyone leaves, Happy says "I want to do something." Morgan looks at him as she rubs her belly and he says "I wanna go to the courthouse and get married then take you to meet my ma." he says and she looks at him confused. "She'd kick my ass if I had a kid outta wedlock." he says. "But she's not yours. By blood anyway." she says. "Don't matter to her." he says. "Happy, you don't have to do this if it's not something you want." she tells him. "Come here." he says. She moves closer to him and he pulls her into his lap. "Wouldn't do it if I didn't want it. I'm not getting any younger and this is my chance to have a wife and kid and it keeps you and her protected." he tells her. "Okay." he says. "We can go the day after tomorrow to the courthouse and then head to ma's after. We can take my truck since you can't ride." he says and she nods.

Juice and I head into our house and sit on the couch. "Are you as confused as I am?" I ask Juice. "Yeah. I am." I say. His phone buzzes and he looks at the text. "Happy wants me to get Morgan a burner programmed." he says. "That's good but she needs a phone with GPS too. You know how shit happens." I say. "I'll hook her up. Get it on the club account." he tells me. We head to bed and I lay my head on Juice's chest and just lay there. "Are you okay?" he asks. "Yeah. Just thinking. She's been through hell and back. I just hope we can keep her and that baby safe." I say. "We will." he tells me and I just nod. I look up at him and ask "What would you say to trying for a baby?" I ask. "That what you want?" he asks. "Yeah but I want you to want it too." I tell him. "Oh, believe me baby. I do. I want a house full of kids with you." he tells me and I smile. "I love you my Goof." I say. "I love you too." he tells me, laughing.

The next morning, we head over to Happy's house and Morgan and I start to leave. Happy hands her an envelope with cash in it and she looks at him. "Get what you and her need. You see something you want for you or her, get it." he says. "Thank you." she says looking down. He tilts her head and says "Don't do that. You're with me and nothing changes that. Remember what I said." he tells her and she nods. He kisses her softly and helps her into the car. We head out and I ask "How was your first night?" She looks at me and says "He wants to go tomorrow to get married and then for me to meet his mom." she tells me. "I've met his mom a couple of times when I went with my dad and Happy. You'll like her but you will see where she gets that scowl from." I tell her. "I hope she likes me." She says looking down at her stomach. "She will. You're marrying her son and giving her a granddaughter. She'll love you." I tell her. She seems to relax a little at that.

We do a little shopping and get everything that we think we will need for Molly's room and for her. "Is there anything you need for you?" I ask. "Not really." she says and I look at her. "I know something." I tell her and she looks at me confused. We set everything up to be delivered that afternoon and we walk into a dress shop. Finding a beautiful maternity dress that is flowy and comes down to her ankles, we find a nice pair for flat sandals for her, we head back to her and Happy's house. Walking in the door, we are carrying a few bags and Happy and Juice come to help us. Molly holds one bag back and says "This one's for me." He looks at her and she says "For tomorrow." He nods and takes the bags to the nursery. "We can get things unpacked tomorrow. Prospects will be here while we're gone tomorrow putting everything together but the crib. I'm doing it tonight." he tells her and she nods. "We're meeting them at the courthouse tomorrow at 10am." Juice says. "I know. She filled me in." I tell him. I see Morgan and Happy head to the nursery to get things set up as we see ourselves out.
