Family over everything

Chapter 11

Happy closed on the house next door a month later. He had it all set by the time Allison was fully healed. She sighed as she heard his bike pull in the driveway next door. It was hard most days. She wanted to strangle him for what he had done. She was going to have to find a job to take care of the kids while he was gone. Gemma had offered the garage office. She could take Mason and Emersyn with her but she also had to deal with crow eaters all day. She knew Happy hadn't given them up which was extremely frustrating. She was going to have to find something though. She pulled up to the garage with both of her younger kids in the car. She saw Happy at a picnic table. He had his hands on some girls ass. Allison rolled her eyes and headed straight for the office with Mason's seat in one hand and Emersyn's hand in the other.

"Hey Gem," Allison said.

"Hey, how are the kiddos?" Gemma asked.

"They're good. Growing like weeds and eating everything in sight"

Gemma nodded. Little Mason was now seven weeks old and gaining weight and height quickly. Allison had just come from the doctor's office with him.

"So you taking my offer?" Gemma asked.

Allison nodded, glancing at the scene behind her.

"Just hope I don't have to regret it," she said.

Gemma looked over and nodded. She could see the pain on Allison's face.

"I just don't know what to do anymore about any of it," Allison said.

"He in his own place again?" Gemma asked.

"Bought the damn house next door and wants to take down the fence to join the back yards."

"Oh sweetheart."

"He just isn't the man I've always known anymore. I don't know who he is now."

Gemma nodded. She felt for Allison a lot. The girl had been with Happy for as long as they all had known him and now he was screwing up. He had avoided all other girls in the beginning. Allison was the only one that had his attention and now it was as if she didn't really exist. He hadn't even come over to say anything to her or ask about the kids appointments.

"I just need to save enough to move now," Allison said.

"He is gonna freak out," Gemma said.

"I don't care anymore. I am so tired of being hurt all the time. I just want to matter to someone again."

Gemma nodded. She watched her for a moment.

"He is gonna flip anyway," Allison said thoughtfully.

"Why is that?" Gemma asked.

"I am meeting an old friend for dinner tonight and Happy hates him."

"Oh."

Allison had been shocked when an old friend had reached out on Facebook and wanted to take her to dinner. She had of course said yes and was meeting him that night. Happy had always hated Damon and never tried to hide it. It almost felt like revenge for her to go to dinner with Damon. It helped that he was nice looking too.

"I guess I should go tell him. He has to keep the kids tonight," she said.

"You may want to just call Neeta. I think the club has business tonight that he has to be on," Gemma said.

She was trying to avoid the confrontation on the lot between the two of them. Lyssa pulled in right then and Allison just nodded at Gemma.

"He still banging that bitch?" she asked.

"I don't think so. We don't see much of her around here lately," Gemma said.

Allison nodded as she watched the girl walk up to the picnic table that Happy was at. He turned toward her to talk.

"You missed the gender scan today Happy," Lyssa said.

Happy just shrugged.

"It's a girl," she said.

He nodded but said nothing. Allison walked out and decided to drop the kids on him.

"I need you to take the kids for the night," she said.

"All of them?" he asked.

"I have milk pumped for Mace."

He nodded and then his face changed.

"What are you doing tonight?" he demanded.

"You lost the right to ask me that when you stuck it to this lil girl over here."

Allison took the kids home for a nap until it was time to pick up the boys from school. She then began getting ready for her date. Happy didn't show up so she called Neeta in as the back up sitter. Damon arrived at her door at 6pm on the dot. Allison was following him to his car when she heard the bike. She quickly tried to usher Damon got the car. He watched the biker pull in and shut off the bike.

"The fuck you going with him?" he demanded.

"None of your business," she replied.

"Who the fuck has my kids?"

"Neeta is with our children. If you would like to go in with them and let her go home, fine, but you better pay her."

She got in Damon's car. He went around to the driver's side. Happy glared at him.

"Anything happens to her and I will kill you," Happy growled.

"Safer with me than she has ever been with you, Hap." Damon sneered back.

He got in the car and pulled out of the driveway. They headed to Lodi for their date. Allison actually enjoyed herself for once. Happy never took her out. Damon pulled her chair out for her and smiled.

"Sorry about him," Allison said.

"It's fine. He obviously cares about you still," Damon replied.

"If he did, there wouldn't be a different woman possibly having his baby,"

Damon nodded. He felt bad for Allison as she had obviously done a lot for Happy. He just didn't appreciate any of it. They had a nice time out and then he headed back to drop her off at home. Happy was sitting on his porch.

Allison rolled her eyes but said goodbye to Damon in the car. They had agreed to go out again sometime.

"Where he take you?" Happy asked as she made her way to her house.

"What do you care Hap?" she asked.

"Because you're my wife."

"I can easily change that."

"Don't be a smartass."

"Then don't be a dumbass. We already talked about this shit. I am going to do what I want. You aren't going to stop me and you aren't going to scare people away. That ain't fair. I stay out of your shit."

"This is bullshit."

"So I take it Neeta is still here with the kids?"

"Nah, I brought them over here for the night. Figured they didn't need to witness their mother being a slut."

Allison just nodded and went into the house. She managed to keep the tears at bay until she was in her room. She cried herself to sleep that night.
