The Arrangement

Chapter 13

Waking up the next morning, Happy and I go to the clubhouse. Walking in, I sit on one of the couches and my dad walks over. "How you doing baby?" he asks. "I'm better. Happy and I talked and spent some time together. I'm still not where I need to be but I'll get there." I tell him. "I know you will. Baby, don't listen to that shit. We all knew you and Happy were together before you two did." he tells me. We talk a little longer before Gemma walks over and Dad leaves us to talk. "You feel better?" she asks. "Yeah. Like I told my dad. I'm not where I need to be but I'll get there." I tell her. "Sweetheart, we all have seen how you two are. That man loves you more than anything and we all see it. How long have you been together?" she asks. "Ten years. But neither of us realized it until after we were married." I tell her and she laughs. "That's a long time baby. Long enough to know he's not going anywhere." she tells me. "I know he's not going anywhere but it sucks that I can't put those whores in their place because of being pregnant." I tell her. "Well, I guess we'll have to handle that shit for you. We all have each other's backs. You know, after Happy went off on that croweater and you two left, Tara was in her face and told her if she showed her face here again that she would put a bullet in her head herself." she told me and I looked at her shocked. I look over at Tara and she just nods and smiles. I walk over and hug her and say "Thank you Tara." She smiles and says "You're family. You'd do the same for me." and I nod.

A little later, Happy walks in to the clubhouse after working in the garage and says "I'm gonna shower and we can get something to eat." I nod and he kisses me softly before heading to the shower. Waiting on him to come back out, one of the other croweaters walks over and says "I just want you to know not all of us think like Jamie does. You are always nice to us. We're happy for you and Happy and we're here if you need anything." Lana tells me. "Thank you. I really appreciate that." I tell her before she nods and walks away. Happy walks up and asks "What did she want?" I look at him and say "She was telling me that she's happy for us and that none of the other girls feel the way that Jamie does and that they have my back apparently." I tell him and he kisses me and says "See. Everything is going to be fine."

We head out the door and to my car. Him driving, and head to the diner. Getting out of the car, he takes my hand and leads me into the diner and to a booth in the back. Sitting down, we order and talk while we wait for the food to get done. "What else do we need for the Princess?" he asks. "Well, we have everything set up so I think all we need now is just more clothes, diapers and basics." I say. "Are you planning on nursing?" He asks. "Yeah. I want to." I say as the waitress brings our food. As we eat, we talk more and seems like everytime Happy speaks. I rub my stomach and Happy looks at me concerned. "Cara kicks every time you speak." I tell him and he smiles. "Daddy's girl, huh?" he asks. "I guess so." I tell him smiling.

After we eat, we head home and once inside, I sit on the couch and put my feet up. "You okay?" Happy asks. "Yeah. Feet hurt a little. They are starting to swell a little." I say. He takes my feet and rubs them. "You know this should be me doing that for you. You worked today." I say and he laughs. "You're the one carrying my little girl. You get the foot rubs." he tells me. I look at him for a minute and say "I love you Happy." He smiles and says "I love you too Harlow. Til the reaper baby." I smile and say "Til the reaper." Later that night, we are lying in bed and Happy is close to my stomach and says "Time for bed Princess. Mommy needs to sleep tonight." I feel her moving around. I take his hand and put it on my stomach and he can feel her kicking him the more he talks to her and I can't help but smile.
