Chapter 6
After hanging at the party for a while and celebrating, we get home and Opie sees Neeta out. I walk to the kids room, Ellie first, and see she's sleeping soundly. Walking to Kenny's door, he wakes up. "Harper?" He asks. I walk into the room and sit on the side of his bed. "It's okay Kenny." I say as I lightly push the hair out of his face. "You came home." he says and then sits up to hug me. I wrap my arms around him and hold him close and he starts crying. "What's the matter baby?" I ask softly while rubbing his back. "I had a dream that you left us too. That you went to heaven with Mommy." he tells me. I pull back from him a little and say "Look at me Kenny." He looks at me and I hold up my pinky. "As long as I hook my pinky with yours before I leave, you know I'm coming back. I won't leave you baby. I promise." I tell him. He links his pinky with mine and then snuggles back into me. "Will you lay with me until I go back to sleep?" he asks. "Yeah baby." I say before laying next to him, on top of the covers. He lays on his stomach like he normally does and I start rubbing his back. "Love you Harper." he says. "Love you too baby boy. You and your sister both." I tell him. After he gets to sleep, I slip out of the room and into Opie's room...our room.
Walking into the bedroom, I see Opie sitting on the bed and he's looking at something in his hand. Moving to the bed, he looks up and I see him smile. "You okay Ope?" I ask. "Yeah babe. Been thinking about doing something and wasn't sure if it was the right time but seeing how you were with Kenny in there, the timing is perfect." he says and I look at him confused. He moves from the bed and gets down on one knee in front of me and takes my left hand. "You are the most amazing woman I have ever fucking met. You've supported me and my kids...our kids and I love you so fucking much. I was out with the kids the other day while you were with Gemma and they helped me pick it out." he says as he looks at my hand in his. Looking up at me he says "Marry me?" I smile softly and the tears start to fall. I nod my head yes and whisper "Yes Harry. Yes." He leans up and kisses me deeply as he starts to hover over me and we move up the bed. We start to undress between kisses and he enters me slowly. We spend the night, making love nice and slow, celebrating our engagement.
The next morning, I wake up in bed alone. Getting up and dressed, I walk out to the kitchen and see Opie at the stove and the kids setting the table. "Morning Harper." Kenny says as he runs over and hugs me. "Morning baby." I say as I kiss the top of his head. He looks up at me and says "Thanks for staying with me last night." I smile softly and say "Anytime you need me." I hold up my pinky and he links his with mine. I look at Opie and Ellie and they are smiling. "Let's eat." Opie says finally and we head to the table. "When we're done eating, we can pack up your things if you want." he tells me. "Are you guys sure about this?" I ask. "We all are." Ellie says and Opie leans over and kisses me softly.
After getting to the house, I know that Juice has been living at the clubhouse and has been looking for a house. "How's the house hunting going?" I ask. "Not good. Can't find one I like." he says and I see him looking around the house. "I'd like one like this one." he tells me. "You got a dollar?" I ask and he looks at me confused but hands me a dollar bill. "You just bought a house. We can have the lawyer draw up the papers tomorrow." I tell him and he looks at me shocked. "I'll even leave the furniture." I tell him and he hugs me. "Everything good?" Opie asks as he walks to the door with a box. "Yeah. Just sold Juice the house for a dollar." I tell him. "Good. Contrats brother. Means she can't back out of living with me." Opie says and I look at him and say "Never babe." before kissing him softly. As he walks out the door, Juice looks at me and says "Happy for you." I smile and say "You too brother." and he starts laughing before we finish packing my things to head to my new home.
