Dragon Soothe

Chapter 34

Tig just raised his eyebrow at his brother hearing of his desire for more children for the first time. He figured after the ordeal with Fiona and Kerrianne, he wouldn't want any more children.

"How many are you blessing us with?" Ryu inquired.

"We're shooting for two. Hopefully a boy and a girl." Elise replied.

"Do either of you want children as well?" Massika hopefully asked.

"You know I don't, mom. Tig and I have talked it over and neither of us do." Remi replied earning a frown.

"And you two?" Ryu looked between his youngest daughter and her husband.

"We haven't decided yet." Ava replied.

"Well, at least we'll have some grandchildren to spoil." Massika stated making Remi huff which made Tig smirk at her.

"Mom..." Remi started out.

"I'm not saying anything. You live your life the way you want to. Having children was such a blessing to us I just hate you losing out on that is all." Massika told her daughter.

"I like my freedom. I like being able to just pack up and go wherever I want without responsibility. Tig likes taking me out midnight bike rides and that wouldn't be able to happen if we had children." Remi retorted.

"Ok. I won't bring it up again." Her mother stated.

The girls helped their mother put away the leftovers and clean up from dinner as the men sat back down in the living room. The group chatted about their vacations and where the family was planning on spending the Christmas holiday. Massika was hosting Thanksgiving in her house and expected her daughters and their husbands to be there. Happy wanted to be with his brothers like he usually was but now he had an 'ol lady who had a family. A nice family. And he would get to spend a little extra time with her two older brothers. He couldn't help but wonder how the holidays were going to go with three bikers at their family celebrations.

Happy was surprised when Ryu asked the women where they wanted to go for their Christmas vacation. Apparently the Colorado resort they'd spent two previous stays at seemed to be the popular answer. It made Ryu laugh and tell them he'd consider it when he was making their plans. Tig couldn't wait to get away from the club and spend Christmas with his wife's family. He wanted to see her with all of her siblings and her parents away from California and work and the club. Just the family all together. Chibs couldn't help but think of the conversation at dinner about their plans on having children. When would it happen? Around ten pm, Ava began yawning and stated they should get home. All had to work the following day. Massika hugged all the women while Ryu were shaking the men's hands. Each couple left to head to their own residences. 

"Hey babe? I'm sorry if my mom was a little...enthusiastic...about us having kids. She's been bugging us about settling down and having kids since we were twenty." Elise told her husband who just laughed.

"It's ok, love. I don' mind all the questions." He stated as he slipped his kutte off and hung it up by the front door.

"I just...I feel like she's a bit too pushy when it comes to that and it bugs me." Elise confessed.

"Don't let it. We'll let nature run its course. If it's meant t' be, it'll happen." Chibs stated as he walked back over and engulfed her waist with his arms, "Now, let's head to bed. We both have to work in the morning."

"Sounds good." Elise smiledup at him.

As soon as Happy and Ava made it home, she headed straight for their bedroom. He slowly followed suit after locking the doors and shutting off all the lights. She was already dressed for bed when he entered the bedroom. As she was turning down the covers to get into bed, he began to strip for bed himself. She was channel surfing when he finally climbed into bed. He didn't know whether or not he wanted children. He'd never thought he'd have an 'ol lady so having children was never in his thoughts. But now he was married. She was his 'ol lady. They had a secluded house. Just what he'd have purchased for himself.

"Ava?" He asked.

"Hmm?"

"Do you want kids?" He asked taking her off guard.

She wasn't expecting that question from him.

"Maybe. Someday. I'm established at the studio already and there wouldn't be too much to baby-proof the house. I make good money so I can help support us and a child." She finally replied.

"I see."

"Do you?" She asked.

"I don't know. I love Jax's kids and will protect them like I would my brothers." Happy told her.

"We can talk more about having children later on down the road if you're more comfortable with that. We don't have to make a decision about it tonight. I mean, that is a very big decision to be making." She told him.

"Yeah. Let's talk about that later on." He told her before turning his attention to the TV.
