Happiness Falls

"Mommy! Mommy!"

"Yes baby?" Chris asked her little girl as she ran up to her.

"Why don't I look like daddy?" Isabella asked sadly.

"That's cause you look just like your mama and not your ugly ass daddy." Echo said coming in from the garage, picking Izzy up and lifting her in air then putting her back on ground.

"Language." Chris scolded Echo but was trying to hide a smile.

Echo stuck her tongue out at Chris making Izzy laugh. "Daddy's not ugly!" Izzy giggled.

"No he's not baby." Chris said smiling at her 4 year old.

"Aunty Echo, why do you look like daddy?"

"Are you trying to call me ugly little girl?" Echo asked tickling her niece.

"NOOOO!" Izzy yelled, giggling.

"That's cause me and your daddy are brother and sister." Echo explained. "But I'm the prettier one."

"Daddy's pretty too." Izzy giggled. "Abel looks like his daddy..." Izzy said sounding sad again Chris and Echo exchanged looks.

"Echo can you finish the dishes so I can start the pies for tonight's dinner at Gemmas?" 

"Grandma Gemmas?! YEAH!" Izzy shouted running to her room to pick out her favorite toys to show off to Abel.

"Yes ma'ma." Echo said walking up to sink.

"You know... She's been asking that a lot lately and you know my brother adores her Chris... Ryan can't and wont get to her she already has SAMCRO in her tiny pocket. And don't get me started on Gemma! Gemma loves that little girl more than her damn bird, Clay and you know Gemma."

"That's why we drown baby girls at birth." Chris and Echo said unison mocking Gemmas voice laughing.

While the girls were busy laughing, they didn't notice Gemma standing by the kitchen door. "I know you two little shits aren't making fun of me." Gemma smirked making both girls jump a little.

"Oh no Miss Gemma. Not us." Echo said sarcastically while giving the biker matriarch a kiss on cheek.

"Sure... Smart ass."

"Is everything okay Gemma?" Chris asked nervously knowing the boys have been on a run that should of lasted two days not four.

"Yeah, everything's fine baby. Just wanted to see if you need me to pick Isabella up for you so she can play with Abel Kenny and Ellie while you two get ready. Also, so I could ask how my other grandbaby is and when do we found out the sex? Oh and Clay called they should be out of church before dinner starts."

"We are fine and not for another eight more weeks Gem. I'm only twelve weeks." Chris laughed.

"Isabella! Gemma's here!" Chris shouted.

"GRANDMAAAAAAAA!" Izzy screamed running to living room with two backpacks full of toys, launching her self at Gemma's legs.

"Hey baby girl! What do you have there?" Gemma asked Izzy.

"Toys to show Abel!" Izzy said as she tried to put her shoes on her own feet. When Christina went to help Izzy put her hand up. "I got this mama. I got it." She told her making all the ladies giggle.

"Oh hey, Echo?" Gemma asked.

"Yo?" Echo said putting last dish in dishwasher.

"You know Opie is going to be there right?"

"I would think so Gem. It's his club too." Echo said as a blush covered her face trying to hide from the Queen of SAMCRO.

"You know him and Donna finalized the divorce." Gemma stated arching an eyebrow. "Would be a shame if all the crows found this out first."

"What does that have to do with me Gem?" Echo asked getting pissed walking back in to living room with Gemma not to far behind her.

"Hey dont bite my head off. I've seen the way you two share looks when the others aren't looking you have what it takes to be a great old lady Echo." Gemma told her.

"Gem I'm not having this conversation with you right now." Echo said.

"Aunty Echo loves Uncle Opie! Aunty Echo loves Uncle Opie!" Izzy sang and danced.

"Ok lets not say this around Uncle Opie okay bug?" Echo asked Izzy.

"Or Daddy!" Chris added which Echo fully agreed.

Echo's has been around SAMCRO and SAMTAC her whole life being the Tacoma Killas baby sister. Happy being forty-five and Echo being twenty-three. But after Elena, their mother got sick he moved her in to thier Aunts' house, who is a nurse and can care for her better. So Echo moved in with her brother the only rule was she could never get involved with a Son but leave it up to Echo to fall in love with the six-foot-four gentle giant. Opie.

"Okay Aunty. I promise." Izzy said putting her little picky for
Echo to link them together in a pinky promise.

Walking out to Gemma's SUV Chris strapped Izzy into her car seat giving her a kiss. "Be good for Grandma okay? I'll see you in awhile okay? I love you."

"Okay Mommy. I love you too."

As Gemma was going to drive away Izzy shouted, "WAITTTTT! AUNTY!"

Echo ran to car. "Yes bug?" 

"You didnt say it!" Izzy said sounding sad with a pout.

"I'm so sorry bug." Echo said kissing her forehead. "Okay ready bug?" Izzy nodded her head excitedly. "Okay. See you later alligator." Echo said playfully grabbing Izzy's hand.

"In awhile crocodile." Izzy said right back. "Okay bye Aunty! Love you! Let's go Grandma." Izzy ordered.

"Love you too bug." Echo kissed Izzys little hand.

"You heard the lady. Let's go." Gemma said laughing as she drove away.

Echo and Christina headed back into the house. "Maybe you should talk to Opie, Echo." Chris suggested.

"And maybe you should tell your kid why she doesn't look like her daddy." Echo snapped.

"Happy would hate me Echo..." Chris shook her head. 

"No he wouldn't. I've never seen my brother so love struck in his entire life Chirs. He worships the ground you walk on and that little blonde haired, blue eyed little girl will never ever know any other Daddy beside my brother. When you walked in to TM four in a half years ago Chris, I had never seen my brother flustered which was fucking strange to me. I'm sorry Chris but my brother was a whore before you met him and all it took was one look and boom he's whore ways were over. When he found out you were pregnant what did my brother do huh?"

"He asked if I was still with the father and if not he asked to take me out to lunch." Chris said. 

"AND what happend with us?" Echo asked waiting for the answer she knew Chris was going to give.

"I found my best friend slash sister in-law." Chris said laughing.

"And now almost five years later. Married with a kid and another on the way." Echo said wriggling her eyebrows.

"Okay okay. I get your point, I just dont want Happy heart broken when she finds out he's not her bio dad. And if she wants to meet Ryan..." Chris said rubbing her temples.

"That wont happen. What do you think Izzy going to say when this baby come out looking more like their daddy than her?" Echo asked. "She's going to think you lied to her." Echo finished.

"She's only four Echo..." Chris said exasperated shaking her head.

"Yeah and she alot like her mother. Too smart for her own good. Talk it over with Happy first. I'll bet he'll be okay with it." Echo said leaving the room.

Chris sat down on the couch for a few minutes and sighed. "What are we gonna do little one?" Chris asked rubbing her barley there tummy.
