Chapter 7

Pulling up at the house, we get off the bike and head inside. As soon as we get inside, Happy pulls me to him and kisses me hard. When we come up for air, I start laughing and ask "What was that for?" He kisses me again softly and he says "You're fucking amazing. Ma loved you." I look into his eyes and can't read his face. "Are you okay?" I ask. "Yeah. I'm just so glad you gave this a chance." he says before kissing me again. Carrying me to the bedroom, he makes love to me nice and slow and it's completely out of character for him. He pulls me into his side and I hear his breathing even out telling me was sleeping but I couldn't sleep.

After a little while, I look at the clock and it reads 3am and I'm still awake. I slip out of bed and head to the kitchen to get something to drink. Sitting at the table, just staring at my glass of water. "You okay?" Happy asks from the doorway. I look up and smile softly and say "Yeah. Just couldn't sleep. Didn't want to wake you." I say. He walks over and pulls me from the chair and sits down, pulling me into his lap. Looking at me he says "Talk to me." I look at him and ask "Are you okay?" He looks at me confused and I say "When we had sex, you were really gentle. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it but it's not you. It's not what I'm used to with you." I tell him. "Baby, I'm fine." he says. He stands us up and walks to his kutte and pulls something out of the pocket. "I was going to wait and do this right but this seems to be the right time." he says. I look at him confused. He gets down on one knee and holds my hand. I look at him shocked and he says "Missy, I don't know what it is but you've gotten under my skin and ingrained into everything I am. Ma loves you and so do I. You have my crow, now to give you my last name. Marry me?" he asks. I have tears rolling down my face and can't find my words. He stands and says "Baby?" he asks worried. I pull him down and crash my lips with his. When we come up for air, he asks "Is that a yes?" with a smirk on his face. "Yeah baby. It's a yes." I say. He puts the ring on my finger and kisses me hard before carrying me to bed and making love to me all over again.

The next morning, we get up and I head to the office as he heads to work. Lyla follows me into the office and asks "How was your weekend?" she asks. "Good. Met Hap's mom." I tell her. "That's amazing. How'd it go?" she asks. "Great. She knows about the whole kid thing and was really supportive. Told me that I'm family now." I tell her. "That's great babe but that can't be the reason you're smiling from ear to ear and glowing." she says. "Well, Happy might have also proposed." I tell her shyly. Her eyes go wide and she asks. "What did you say?" I smile and say "I said yes." and showed her my ring. All of a sudden she squeals and pulls me into a hug. Luann and a couple of other girls come running and Luann asks "What's going on?" I look at her and say "Happy and I are getting married." She looks at me shocked before pulling me into a hug. About that time, the guys come in and Happy comes to my office. He sees Luann hugging me and Lyla tells him congrats before they walk out of the office. "Hey baby." I say before kissing him. "Hey little girl." he says. "What's up?" I ask. "I need to talk to you." he tells me and I close the door to give us privacy.

Sitting down on the couch in my office, he pulls me down next to him. "A gash came by the clubhouse with a baby. He's one. Says he's mine." he tells me. "Do you think he is?" I ask. "I don't know." he tells me. "So, let's take him to see Tara and get a paternity test done and go from there." I tell him. He looks at me for a minute and I say "Look, I know you were with women before me. If he's yours, we'll handle it." I tell him. "She dropped the kid off and said she didn't want him anymore." he tells me. "Shit. Okay. I'll tell Luann we're going to the hospital. Where is he now?" I ask. "Gemma has him." he tells me. "Well, call her and have her meet us and we'll get the test done and if he's yours then we get the adoption papers going for me to adopt him." I tell him. "You sure?" he asks. "Happy, we're getting married anyway and this might be our only chance for a family. I'm sure." I tell him. He kisses me deeply and says "I love you." I smile and say "I love you too."

Walking out of the office, I tell Luann what's going on. "Go. Handle your shit." she tells me before we head out the door. Gemma meets us at the hospital and we get the test done. While we're waiting, I'm holding him. "What's his name?" I asked. "She told me his name was Gabriel James." he says. "Well, Gabriel, I promise it's going to be okay." I tell him. A little later, Tara comes in and says "Test shows he's your son." I look at Happy and say "Call Lowen. Get a marriage license and adoption papers." I tell him. "You sure?" he asks. "Positive baby." I tell him. A little later, we are sitting at the judge's office and Lowen has Gabriel's birth mom sign over her rights, we get married and sign adoption papers making me Gabriel's mom. "Thank you for this baby." he says. "Don't thank me. He is our son. Period." I tell him. "Now to take him to meet Ma." he says and I can't help but smile.
