Promise To A Brother

Chapter 16

Lisa's POV

First thing the next morning, we hear little cries coming through the monitor. Waking Lisa up, we get out of bed. I head into the kitchen to get the bottles and she heads into the nursery to change their diapers. Walking into the nursery, I hand her a bottle while she takes Tori to one rocker and I take Evan to the other. Rocking them softly while they eat, we burp them and bring them to the living room. Placing them in their swings, I tell Happy to get his shower while I start breakfast. Once breakfast is done, he watches the twins while I shower. Seems we are already figuring out a routine of sorts.

A little later, the twins wake up wanting to eat again so we feed, burp and change them and that seems to be the extent of our day. They sleep most of the time. That evening, Happy's phone rings. "Hey. Yeah, give me twenty." he says before hanging up. "You have to leave?" I asked. "Yeah, church. You gonna be okay?" he asked. "Yeah, go. I got em." I tell him. He kisses me goodbye as well as the twins and walks out the door. I feed the kids one more time and give them baths before putting them down for the night when Happy walks in. Sitting down next to me he asked "Twins in bed?" I look up at him and say "Yeah. Been down about an hour. You okay?" I asked. "Yeah. Just shit going on with the club. Can't make sense of it all." he says. "What's going on?" I asked knowing he doesn't keep things from me. "You know there's been some shit between Jax and Clay lately?" he says. "Yeah." I answer and wait for him to continue. "Well, there was a vote today. Change in leadership." he tells me. "Oh shit." I say. "Yeah." he responds. "Babe? Are you okay?" I asked. "Yeah. Just a tough vote. Jax took the gavel." I look at him shocked and asked "Are you okay with this?" He looks at me and says "Yeah. Clay was getting us into some dangerous shit and making decisions for the club without bringing it to the club and that was causing a lot of problems. Maybe now that Jax is at the head of the table, things can calm down. He wants to get us into more legitimate businesses so that there's not a lot of danger. He said we have lost too many people, brothers and old ladies, that we don't need to lose more and I agree." I look at him, taking all of this in and say "Well, I am sure things will work out. As long as he doesn't start thinking like Clay, things should be fine." I assure him. Pulling me onto his lap, he says, "They will be." he tells me.

***Six weeks later***

Walking into the house from our six week checkup, the babies are perfect and I have been officially cleared for all activities. I call Lyla. "Ly, can you go shopping with me for a bit. I need to pick up a couple of things and need your expertise." I say. Laughing she says "Yeah. I'll be there in a few." I hang up with her and call Gemma next. "Gem, I need a huge favor. Think you could watch the babies for a little while?" I asked. "Sure baby. Everything okay?" she asked. "Yeah. I got cleared today and..." I was saying before she cut me off. "Say no more. Bring those babies to me and do what you need to do baby. I will keep the twins tonight and have Luanne come over to help. Just pick them up tomorrow." she says. "Thank you. I love you Gem." I tell her, smiling.

An hour later, I have dropped the kids off with Gemma and am inside Victoria Secret with Lyla. "Okay, what exactly are you looking for?" Lyla asked me. "Something that tells Daddy that Mommy is open for business." I tell her. She smirks at me and says "This is why you are my best friend." Smiling, we start looking through lingerie and looking at different sexy things before finding the perfect outfit.
