Appetite For Destruction

HAPPY POV

I arrived home around midnight to the lamp in the entry hall left on for me, Lux appeared in the hallway as her tail wagged and she skipped at my feet licking and nipping at my hands with excitement "hello my girl" I whispered trying to silence her before she woke Evie up whom I'm assuming was in the bedroom.

Kicking my boots off and chucking my keys into the bowl Evie had brought for them I silently walked towards the bedroom at the far end of the house, the door was halfway open from Lux exiting and the room was illuminated by the tv on top of the dresser playing a movie I didn't recognise. On the bed Evie lay on her side, one of my shirts on with the duvet pulled up over her head with her bottom half exposed.

I noted how much fuller her figure was now she was pushing twenty five weeks pregnant, not only had her stomach swollen massively in the last few weeks but she'd acquired an ass I couldn't get enough of looking at. Things with the club had been extra chaotic since she'd been pregnant and I had felt like I'd been neglecting her. But truthfully she was just trying desperately to avoid Tara and her mom so she was always hidden away at home or working, she never lingered long.

Pulling my shirt over my head and unbuckling my belt as my jeans fell to the floor and I kicked them to the side, I slid into the bed next to her and pulled the duvet from her face so it could cover both of us. No matter what she always managed to pull any blankets up over her head when she was sleeping, it was something I'd been noticing more and more. I watched as she rolled towards me, her hand shot out towards me as she felt for my presence before it went limp again and rested against my chest.

I rubbed a hand over my face as I let all of the stresses of the day come out now I was home in my own space. On my way home I'd received a call from Jax, Tara had been arrested this evening and I was in charge of telling Evie. I knew Evie's stance on Tara and her mothers fued, she didn't understand it, she knew Tara would do what was best for the boys but she didn't understand pulling her brother away from the only life they'd ever known and she knew her mother only wanted what was best for Jax but she also knew Gemma was selfish in her need for Jax.

I felt Evie stir next to me and she shimmied closer to me as she ran her hand over my stomach "what's on your mind?" She whispered her voice laced with sleep.

I turned to face her, my hand settling on her bump "if I tell you, you're not going to sleep and I think you need to sleep"

Her brown eyes shot open as she looked at me "is everyone alive?"

I nodded and she sighed a breath of relief.

"What then?"

"Tara was arrested tonight for the Otto thing" I mumbled

She closed her eyes as she processed this information "I love my family Hap" she whispered "but I can't handle all this drama lately. As long as everyone's alive, I just want to stay out of. All I need is you and our boy"

"I'm not going anywhere" I muttered leaning in to press a kiss against her full lips before pulling back "go back to sleep, don't think about any of it"

She rolled and pushed her self back against me "let's get married tomorrow"

I felt myself grinning "deal"

I laid on our bed exasperated with how long it was taking Evie to get ready to go to the courthouse. When they said quick wedding just them two, I kind of thought that meant low key, but Evie had been in the bathroom an hour doing god knows what before they could go.

"Can you hurry up?" I groaned as I heard her huff in the bathroom.

When she stepped out I did a double take, Evie often presented herself nicely but this was a whole new level. Her long blonde hair fell in curls, her lips were coated in a blood red colour and she wore a tight fitting black dress as she stood before him with her hands on her hips "don't rush me on my wedding day Lowman!"

"Holy shit, those red lips are doing it for me" I growled and she let out a laugh that was like music to me "are you ready now?"

"Yes I'm fucking ready. After this though I've gotta stop past and see my brother, probably best to check in after his wife gets arrested" she sighed deeply then seemed to shake the thought off "shall we go?"

She nodded as she slipped on a pair of sandals "I'm not even thirty weeks and my goddamn feet are too swollen for my heels" she complained and I rolled my eyes.

"You look fine"

"I look like a midget" she laughed as I put my hand on her back to guide her out.

The signing of the certificate was quick and easy and I couldn't help noticing the massive grin on Evie's face as we did so, I didn't think it was possible to love her more than I already did but that smile had my once stubborn cold heart swooning. As we walked out hand in hand she looked at me, her honey eyes were soft and bright "I love you"

"I love you too Mrs Lowman"
