Hey Whiskey

Chapter 24

Chapter 24

The next morning, we are standing in front of the Justice of the Peace watching Morgan become Morgan Lowman. After they exchange vows, Happy kisses her softly and we head outside. "We're gonna head to Ma's for the night. Be back sometime late tomorrow." Happy says. Juice and I nod and say goodbye. Happy walks with Morgan to the car and opens the passenger door, helping her in. Once he gets into the driver seat, they take off. A few minutes into the drive, Happy speaks "Thank you, little girl." Morgan looks at him confused and he says "For what?" Morgan asks. "This. Marrying me. Letting me help you raise Molly. My Ma isn't doing good. Cancer is getting her and all she wanted was for me to get married and have a child." he tells her. "Happy, you're helping me. I didn't know how I was going to raise her. I have no job and no one wants to hire someone that's pregnant." she tells him. "Well, you don't have to work. I can provide for all three of us." he tells her and she nods. He takes her hand and kisses her knuckles.

Pulling up to a small house, he gets out of the car and helps her out before they walk up to the door. Opening the door, Happy leads Morgan in and walks in behind her. "Ma? You here?" he calls out. "In here Mijo." Elena calls from the living room. They walk in and Morgan shyly stands behind Happy. "Mijo, what are you doing here?" she asks. "Came to see you. Wanted to talk to you about a couple of things." he says. "Any of those things the young lady standing behind you? Come here Mija." Elena says and Morgan comes out from behind Happy. "Ma, this is Morgan. My wife." he says and Elena smiles wide as she pulls Morgan in for a hug. "It's so great to meet you Mija. Come. Sit." Elena says. Morgan sits beside her and Elena says, looking at Morgan's stomach. "The little one the other thing you need to tell me?" she asks. "Yeah Ma." he says as he sits beside Morgan who is between him and Elena. "Bobby's daughter runs a shelter and Morgan came to her for help. I claimed her and her baby to make sure she's safe. Didn't want the kid born out of wedlock so we got married. I'm helping her raise the baby." Happy says. "Are you okay with this Mija?" Elena asks Morgan. "Yes Ma'am. Happy's been good to me and Molly seems to love hearing his voice." Morgan says. "Well, no matter how you came together. You're family so no more of that ma'am shit. You call me Ma." Elena says. "Thanks Ma." Morgan says. The more they talk the more Molly moves around. "You want to see something funny?" Morgan asks Elena and she nods. She takes Elena's hand and puts it on her stomach. "Talk to her Happy." Morgan says. He kneels in front of her and speaks to her stomach. "Tell Abuela hello Princess." he says and Molly starts kicking Elena's hand. Her face lights up as she starts to laugh.

Back in Charming, Juice and I are sitting at home and watching a movie. "I'm really glad she's gonna be okay." I say. "Me too. She's sweet. Might balance out his cranky ass." Juice says and I start laughing. We lay there in silence and after a few minutes, I look up at him and he leans down and kisses me softly. I pull him over me and we start to shed clothes in between kisses and he enters me slowly. Thrusting in and out slowly, never breaking the kiss. Both of us find our release and he pulls me into his side. "I love you Liv." he tells me. "I love you too Juan Carlos." I say and I feel him kiss the top of my head.

The next day, I'm sitting at the clubhouse with Morgan. "How'd it go yesterday?" I ask her. "It went great. His mom is happy for us and all she talked about was her granddaughter." Morgan says laughing. "Good to see you smiling." I tell her. "Good. Are you happy?" I ask her. "I didn't know if I would be but Happy and his mom are both great. I'm happy and for the first time in my life, I feel like it's going to be okay." she tells me. A few minutes later, she's rubbing her stomach. "You okay?" I ask. "Yeah. Just a contraction." she says. "Happy know?" I ask. "No. They have been about thirty minutes apart." she says. "Well, I'm staying close." I tell her and she nods.

An hour later, I help Morgan stand to go to the bathroom but before she could take a step, her water breaks. "Happy." I yell as another contraction hits Morgan. "What's wrong?" he asks. "My water broke. The baby's coming." she tells him. He smiles and helps her out to my car. Pulling up to St Thomas, we take her inside.

Fourteen hours later, Happy and Morgan are sitting in the hospital room and Happy is sitting on the bed next to Morgan and he's holding Molly. "Hey Princess." he says as he looks at her. He looks at Morgan and kisses her softly and says "She's perfect babe." He hands her to Morgan as she falls asleep. Morgan looks down at her and smiles. "Happy?" Morgan asks. "Yeah baby." he says. "Can you get Liv and Juice? I want to ask them to be her Godparents." she says. "Yeah babe. I'll get them." he says before walking out of the room.

We walk into the room with Happy and Morgan says "We wanted to ask you something. Will you be Molly's godparents?" she asks. We look at Happy and he nods and we say "Of course." I take Molly from her and say "Hey baby girl. Your Uncle Juice and I are going to spoil you." I kiss the top of her head and look at Juice and he's smiling. I nod. He looks at Happy and Morgan and says "We have something to ask you." Happy looks at Juice and he says "We need you guys to return the favor. Be our kid's godparents." he says. Morgan looks at me and asks "Are you?" I smile and say "Six weeks. Just found out this morning." I tell her. Happy comes over and hugs us both. I take Molly back to Morgan and she hugs me and Happy says "We'd love to be the kid's godparents."
