Promise To A Brother

Chapter 26

Chapter 26

Happy's POV

"Fuck!" I yell after smashing my finger on this fucking cage once again. This thing is about to piss me off. "Take a break brother." Chibs says, walking over to one of the picnic tables. Taking a seat next to him and take the smoke he offers me. "How's things going brother?" he asked. "Things are good. Kids are getting bigger and they are in with that new doc." I respond, wondering what he's thinking? "Good brother. Look, I heard something yesterday that you might want to take care of." he tells me. "What's that?" I asked, curious. "One of the croweaters is telling everyone that you knocked her up brother." he tells me and my eyes go wide. "Ain't mine." I tell him. "Well, we all know that but you know if Lisa gets wind of this, she will have her ass and yours brother. Little girl ain't one to play." he says. "Don't I know brother." I tell him laughing. "Which one is it?" I asked. "Rita." he tells me. "The one that came down from Indian Hills?" I asked. "That would be the one." he tells me. "I ain't even touched that cunt." I tell him. "We all know that brother but you need to stop this shit before it gets back to Lisa." he tells me and I know he's right.

Walking into the clubhouse, I see Rita sitting on one of the couches. Walking over I tell her, "Get up. We need to talk." She gets up and she follows me to the hallway. Stopping just out of sight where no one can see us or hear us, she starts trying to push up on me. "Want me to make you feel good baby?" she asked. "No. You need to listen to me and listen good. I know you're talking shit about being knocked up and it being mine. You know damn well that kid ain't mine. I never even touched you." I tell her. "Happy, let me explain." she tells me. "Make it fast." I tell her. "I am pregnant but I know it isn't yours. One of your brothers at Indian Hills, raped me. Knocked me up and threatened if I told anyone it was his that he'd kill me. I figured since you don't have an Old Lady or anything that I could tell everyone it was yours and the club would protect at least my kid." she explains. "First of all, I do have an Old Lady and kids of my own. I don't need you coming in and trying to fuck shit up. Second, if one of the brothers did that, you need to come clean about it and it will be dealt with. We don't rape women and don't let others get away with it either." I tell her. About that time I hear my name and Lisa comes around the corner. "Hap?" she asked and crosses her arms under her chest. "What the fuck is this?" she asked. "Babe, the three of us need to talk." I tell her. "Really? Did you fuck her?" she asked. "No." Rita and I both answer at the same time. She calms down and we all walk into my dorm room and Rita tells us everything.

"So, let me get this straight. You come here and tell everyone that Happy knocked you up and didn't think that he wouldn't question you about it? Look, I hate that this shit happened but you need to be honest. I am sure the club would have protected you. How far along are you?" Lisa asked. "Three months." she tells Lisa. "Okay. Look, I will help you okay. But no more being a croweater. That shit ain't good for the baby. You got a place to stay?" Lisa asked. "No. Been just crashing wherever." Rita says. "I will talk to Gemma about using one of the empty dorms for now. Look, just hang out and let us talk for a minute." Lisa says and she walks out of the room. "What are you thinking babe?" I asked her. "She needs help Hap and if what she said is true, you can't let him get away with raping her. That shit ain't right." she tells me and I know she's right. "Look, I will get the guys together. Help her get settled in. Find out what she plans on doing with the baby." I tell her before kissing her and walking out the door to gather my brothers for church.

Sitting in the chapel, Jax speaks up. "Something has been brought to our attention that we need to address. One of our brothers in Indian Hills seems to think that it's okay to rape a woman and then threaten her. One of the croweaters is knocked up and I know some of you heard it was Happy's but it ain't. Now that she's here, she will be staying in one of the dorms until she figures out what she is going to do. She won't be passed around anymore and she is to be protected. That baby belongs to a SON and that puts it under our protection. Understood?" he says. Everyone nods their agreement. "Next order of business. We are calling Jury and letting him know what is going on. We will head up tonight for the vote and handle shit if they can't. We leave out in an hour." he tells us before banging the gavel.

Walking out of the chapel, I walk over to Lisa and Rita. "We are heading up to Indian Hills for the night. Won't be back until late tomorrow night. Juice is staying behind to help you with the kids and everyone is under strict orders that Rita is off limits. No more being passed around. Rita, you listen to what my Old Lady tells you and do what you're told. We will take care of this but you need to decide what you are going to do with the baby. You have a little time to think about it but we need to know something as soon as you decide." I tell her and she nods.

Heading out, I kiss Lisa good-bye and head out of the lot with my brothers. Getting to Indian Hills, Jury and the rest of the SONS greet us and we all head right into chapel. "Brothers, it seems like one of you forgot how things work. I know you have all been told that there will be a vote but we wanted Jury to wait until we got here to fill you all in. Raptor seems to think that it's okay to rape a woman and then threaten her. She came to my clubhouse looking for help. She's under our protection but SONS do not hurt women. So, brothers, the vote is to strip him of his patch. We will step outside and let you vote." Jax says before we file out of the room to let them vote. Twenty minutes later, I have my tattoo kit set up to black out Raptor's ink. He has been stripped of his patches and is getting his Reapers removed. Once we are done, he starts to walk outside and I follow him. "Hey Raptor." I call out. He turns around and before he can say anything, I land the first of many punches to his face and he doesn't bother to fight back.

After Raptor is gone, I am sitting at the bar when one of the sweetbutts comes up, "Wanna have some fun baby?" she asked, running her fingers up my arm. Pulling away I say, "Not with you." before I get up and head to my room. Picking up my phone, I call the only woman that does anything for me. "Hey baby, how's the run?" Lisa asked and I can't help but smile. "Good. He's been dealt with. I'll fill you in when we get back." I tell her. "When are you heading back?" she asked. "First thing in the morning. Should be home around two." I tell her. "How's the girl?" I asked. "She doesn't know if she wants to keep the baby and she's too far along to abort. She has been sitting here playing with the twins and hanging with Juice. I think he feels a little protective of her." she tells me. "Maybe something will work out." I say before we talk a little more before we call it a night.
