Happy's POV

Waking up the next morning, the bed beside me is empty and cold. Walking into the kitchen, I see Lisa at the stove and both babies in their high chairs with baby snacks in front of them. Kissing both of their heads, I walk over to Lisa and out my arms around her waist as I kiss her shoulder. "Morning Momma." I say. "Morning Daddy." she responds, smiling. I sit at the table and she puts my plate in front of me and sits with me to eat. "What do you have planned for the day?" I asked her. "These two have to get their six month shots today." I tell him. "Want me to go?" I asked. "No, that's okay. I can handle it." she tells me and I get the feeling something is wrong. "Are you okay? Talk to me." I tell her. "Happy, I am fine. I just didn't sleep well last night." she tells me. "I'm going to call Jax and take the day off to spend with you guys. You need to rest." I tell her and she nods. Picking up the phone, I call Jax. "Hey brother. I'm gonna take the day and spend with Lisa and the kids. They have a doctor appointment today and Lisa isn't feeling well." I tell him and he tells me that he will see me tomorrow.

Walking into the doctor's office, I can tell Lisa is getting tense. Leaning over I whisper, "Are you sure you are okay?" I asked her. "Fine Hap." she says but won't look me in the eye. Something is up. They call our name and we take the twins back into a room and wait for the doctor. "Good morning Lisa." The doctor says and Lisa won't look at him. "Morning." she says. Now I know something is wrong. "How have the twins been since your last appointment?" he asked. "Good. Sleeping through the night now." she says. I put my arm around her and she seems to relax a little. Rubbing my thumb on her side always seems to calm her down. After weighing the twins and checking them, they are given their shots and the doctor says "Lisa, can I have a word with you, your friend can take the babies outside." Looking at him, I say "I'm her husband. Whatever you need to say to her can be said in front of me." Looking shocked, he smirks and says, "Well, they seem to be little underweight but nothing to be concerned with but I would like to see them back in two weeks. I will have the nurse call you with the appointment time." he says and walks out of the room.

Walking out to the car, we put both babies into the car and get into the front. Before starting the car, I look at her. "Friend? What was that all about?" I asked her. "Nothing Happy. Can we please just go?" she says. "Fine. When we get home, you are telling me everything." I tell her and she nods her head in agreement.

Once we are home, she won't look at me and didn't say another word on the way home. Putting the twins down for their naps, we walk out to the back deck. "Now, tell me what that shit was about." I tell her. "Not long after the twins were born, he asked me out. I told him I was married and not interested and he apologized and things were okay but the last couple of visits, he has been different." she tells me. "Different how?" I asked her. "The last visit, after he checked out the twins, he backed me against the wall and tried to kiss me. I pushed him away and went to leave and he pulled me back against him and started trying to kiss on my neck telling me that he wanted me and knew that I wanted him. I finally got away from him and got the twins and left. I called to get this appointment with another doctor and was told that I couldn't change doctors and haven't found another doctor yet." she tells me and I am pissed. Kissing her cheek, I tell her, "I'll be back. Stay here and lock the doors."

Pulling up to the TM lot, I see Tig outside. "Brother, what's wrong?" Tid asked. "We need to talk." I tell him. Walking over to the boxing ring where we could be alone, I tell him what has been going on with the 'good doctor' and Tig agrees that we need to pay him a visit. "Juice, I need some info on Dr. Jesse Richards." I tell him. "Isn't that the twins' doctor?" he asked. "How do you know that?" I asked. "The last run you went on, the twins were sick so I helped her take them to the doctor." he tells me. "Thanks for that brother. But yeah, he put his hands on my Old Lady and now it's time to have a little talk." I tell him. "Give me a few minutes and I will have his info. But I'm going with you. She's family man." he tells me and I just nod.

Pulling into his driveway, we don't make an effort to hide. Knocking on the door, his eyes go wide when he answers and sees me standing there. Pushing our way inside, I push him against the wall. "You think it's okay to put your hands on my wife? You do realize where you messed up right?" I asked him as I tighten the hold on his throat. "You are going to stay the hell away from my wife. You will give her a referral to another doctor, not in your practice, and you will have no other contact with her. Do you understand?" I asked. Nodding his head yes, I continue. "If you come near her, contact her or even think about her, I will gut you like a goddamn deer and mount you on your own fucking wall. Got it?" I asked and he nodded again. Dropping him to the floor, Tig and Juice trash his house while I leave the doctor with a few dark reminders to the face.
