Your Loss

:oo2:

6 Months Later

"Chris is coming down tomorrow right?" Opie asked his fiancee.

"Yeah, she said she would be here for the baby shower." Echo replied placing a hand on her belly.

"Hap better stay the fuck away from my sister." Opie mumbled before walking out of the kitchen.

Echo just listened to the hustle and bustle of the clubhouse trying to calm the raging nausea when Hap walked in. "Echo?"

"What?" She snapped.

"I know you know where she is... I need her back Echo. Where is she?" He asked.

"Oh for fucks sake Hap. YOU fucked up. I'm not telling you where she is. You brought this on yourself." Echo responded.

"My sister, is NOT your concern anymore. But she will be here tomorrow. You leave her the fuck alone." Opie told him walking back in with Echo's bottle of anti-nasuea meds.

"Ope. I just-" Happy tried to protest but Ope cut him off.

"Not your concern." He growled.

Hap shook his head and walked to his dorm room. Since Christina left, he's been living at the clubhouse. Not able to return to the home he shared with the tiny blonde.

Hap thought if he broke things off, life would be easier. He wouldn't be constantly terrified of her getting hurt because of him. However, over the last six months he had never experienced a hurt quite like this. It felt like everytime she crossed his mind, his heart would break even more. Happy had never before experienced emotions quite like this.

Christina was the only thing he wanted. The only thing he needed. She was like oxygen and without her, he was struggling for breath...

Happy knew he fucked up, but all he wanted was a chance to fix it. To tell her he lied. To tell her he was sorry and he couldn't live this life without her.

Tomorrow he'd see her again and he didn't give a shit what Opie said. He would find a way to talk to her alone. Convince her he lied and fucked up. Convince her to come back to him...

Meanwhile, Christina was freaking out... She sat on the end of the bed with her head in her hands. Every possible scenario of how tomorrow would go running through her mind when a heavy hand began to slowly stroke her back.

"Matt. I don't think I can do this." She mumbled shaking her head.

"Yes you can Chris. Would it make you feel better if I came with you?" He asked reaching a tattooed hand out to grasp one of hers.

"You don't have to do that Matt... Happy will be there and I don't want to start shit." She sighed.

"I'll go with you. We will just ignore him. You're there for Echo and Opie. Not him. Besides I think it's time you told your brother and best friend about us, don't you?" He asked flashing those deep dimples at her.

Chris smiled shaking her head. "You're right." Chris sighed.

"I know I am." He chuckled.

Chris laughed but was cut off my Matt's lips. She kissed him back wrapping her arms around his neck as he laid her back on the bed gently.

If anything would get her mind off her impending trip, it would be exactly what Matt was doing to her body...

>> The Next Day <<

"Where is she Ope?! She said she would be here at three, it's fucking four!" Echo cried in a panic.

"Relax baby. She just texted and said she's be here in ten. She woke up late this morning." Ope explained trying to calm his pregnant fiancee.

Opie reached down and stroked her belly softy with his hand and Echo sighed. They stayed that way waiting in the parking lot of TM for the tiny blonde to arrive. Echo noticed out of the corner of her eye, Happy stood by the ring outside of the clubhouse. His eyes watching the parking lot like a hawk.

Sure enough, ten minutes later a older style black dodge half ton pulled into the lot. Echo, Opie and Happy watched as Chris got out of the passenger side of the truck with a grin on her face. Everyone was confused until they saw him.

A large man, covered in tattoos, built like a brick shit house climbed out of the drivers seat. They met at the tailgate of the truck and he took her hand, squeezing it gently. Chris' eyes landed on Echo and Opie and she grinned.

She let go of the man's hand and came running. She flung herself at her brother who hugged tightly. "Ope! I missed you!" She cried.

"I missed you too sis." Ope sighed, squeezing his sister before putting her back on her feet.

She moved on to Echo, placing her hands on the protruding baby belly and grinned. "I can't believe your pregnant." Chris laughed before hugging her best friend.

"Who's your friend?" Echo asked while her brother just stared him down.

Matt was good about it. Simply stared back, not backing down from the intimidating stare from Opie. Happy had now stepped much closer though, Christina paid him no mind. Happy wanted an answer to the question too.

"This." She said grinning beckoning him closer. "Is Matt. He's- Well he's my boyfriend." Christina told them.

In that split second Happy felt like the world shattered. He felt like all the air had been ripped from his lungs... He watched as another man took his whole world into his arms before shaking hands with her brother.

It took all of Happy's strength not to drop to his knees right there. Without a word he turned on his heel and strode into the clubhouse. Ignoring everyone he grabbed a bottle of whiskey and headed straight to his room where he locked himself in. He slid his back down the door and stared at the wall across from him as he pulled the cap off the bottle and flung it aside.

Meanwhile outside, Christina couldn't help but watch as Happy walked away and she felt a pain in her chest. She shook herself  reminding herself that he did this to himself before looking up at Matt.

He was in the middle of Echo's interrogation when Ope grabbed her hand. Ope took his sister and led her off to the side. "Is he good to you?" He asked.

"Very Ope... He's a good guy. Just give him a chance." She pleaded.

Ope nodded. "Are you happy?" He asked.

"Yes Ope." She replied turning back to see Matt and Echo laughing together.

"Okay..." Opie replied skeptically. "You sure do have a type though don't you?" Ope asked with a chuckle.

Chris didn't reply as she began to notice the similarities, but also the differences between Matt and Happy. Ope was right, both men where heavily tattooed, both built like brick shit houses. Only Matt was just a little stockier than Hap. But they has so many differences too. So, Chris ignored her brother's comment and walked away.

Was Matt just a look alike rebound from Hap? Or was this real, what they shared between them? Only time would tell...
