Emma and I where holding hands with Athena while the boys where holding the carseats; "mama, can I ask Daddy now?" I smiled, "fine fine go ask him." She giggled turning and running to him. "Happy can you take this." Jax asked as I laughed. Emma and I held hands as we walked into the hospital. Happy caught up to us as did Jax and Athena; "So what did dad say?" she smiled and shook her head. I shrugged "Ah there is my best patients family." I laughed as the doctor came to us as he talked about everything that had needed to be done yet but I realized something, "Didn't Able get out a month early?" They all looked at me and laughed, "You just realized this?" I shrugged. Emma and I sat there talking while Jax and Happy took Athena to go do stuff they wouldn't tell Emma nor I what they were up to. "Alright ladies time to get your babies." I laughed and walked in to see them my heart just exploded to see them off all the tubes and everything. I sighed softly as I held Freya in my arms just staring at her, she opened her eyes I smiled softly. "hey you get them dressed yet?" My head snapped up to see Jax and Happy. "no I was waiting for you guys to get back figured her daddies would like to dress them."
They laughed, I sighed softly wrapping my arms around myself and hummed 'Home' by Blake Shelton. I was in my own little world thinking about what if my dad was out and could be here with us than it got me thinking about Happy's mom. I was so wrapped in my thoughts I didn't hear the boys laughing or Athena walk in with Gemma. I felt a hand on my shoulder making me jump a little; I seen Emma looking worried "are you okay Cor?" I nodded. "I was just deeep in thought about things." I told her as she nodded; hugging me. I sighed softly; we got the kids in the car and 'I Can Still Make Cheyenne' by George Strait playing as I sang along:
"Her telephone rang 'bout a quarter to nine
She heard his voice on the other end of the line
She wondered what was wrong this time
She never knew what his calls might bring
With a cowboy like him, it could be anything
And she always expected the worst
In the back of her mindHe said, it's cold out here and I'm all alone
Didn't make the short go again and I'm coming home
I know I've been away too long
I never got a chance to write or call
And I know this rodeo has been hard on us all
But I'll be home soon
And honey is there somethin' wrongShe said, don't bother comin' home
By time you get here I'll be long gone
There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man
He said, I'm sorry it's come down to this
There's so much about you that I'm gonna miss
But it's alright baby
If I hurry I can still make Cheyenne
Gotta go now baby
If I hurry I can still make CheyenneHe left that phone danglin' off the hook
Then slowly turned around and gave it one last look
Then he just walked away
He aimed his truck toward that Wyoming line
With a little luck he could still get there in time
And in that Cheyenne wind he could still hear her sayShe said, don't bother comin' home
By time you get here I'll be long gone
There's somebody new and he sure ain't no rodeo man
He said, I'm sorry it's come down to this
There's so much about you that I'm gonna miss
But it's alright baby
If I hurry I can still make Cheyenne
Gotta go now baby
If I hurry I can still make CheyenneShe never knew what his calls might bring
With a cowboy like him, it could be anything
And she always expected the worst
In the back of her mind"
"that was beautiful Coral." I just sighed, "yeah I used to listen to my dad sing it to Athena in the prison when we visited when she would get fussy." "Is that where we are going now?" I stopped the car. "What?" she looked at me and pointed to where we where at. "oh shit I guess we are going my mind is just out there." She laughed and put her hand on my shoulder. "trust me I understand. My parents where junkies." I smiled sadly at her. "let's go see your dad." i just smiled at her as we continued. "did you call the boys?" "yeah they are behind us with Athena." I just smiled nodding. When we got to the prison the guard seen us all and raised an eyebrow. "Just here to see Otto Delaney please." "all of you?" I nodded "We have three kids with us that's why the big party." He nodded we emptied our pockets and signed in they let us have a private room. When dad came in I instantly got up and hugged him. He laughed hugging me back tightly. "ah my trouble maker." I gasped at him. "me?" he laughed kissing my head. "Yes you, now where is my Thena?" Athena giggled; "Here Gamps!" she ran up to him hugging his legs. "Ah my baby girl; whats this i hear you have siblings?" She smiled hugely grabbing his hand dragging him to where they were at. "Look gamps!"
Happy came over to me wrapping his arms around me; "You okay little girl?" I shrugged; "I just want my dad from behind bars and out with us but i know he will never be able to. I want them to have him in their life the way I did Happy." I whispered. "I know Cor..." I sighed softly looking at my dad seeing him with his grandchildren how happy he is. "5 minutes Delaney." he sighed softly, "Guys could you give the two of us the last couple minutes." they nodded Athena said her goodbyes and left with everyone. "What's going on my Heart." I looked at him with teary eyes. "I just wish they could grow up with you like I did." He sighed. "What are you going to do if I pass away Heart? You need to live your life with your family and I know me being in here sucks and they don't get the grandpa they want or need but this is the life of the club you know that and one day they will learn too. I love you Coral Rae Delaney." "I love you too daddy." I sobbed hugging him. "Delaney times up lets go." Dad let go as he kissed my head. "be good." I nodded as he left. I headed out grabbing my things on the way out. Happy hugged me as I cried more.
"You'll be okay Coral I promise." Emma said as I nodded. "Mommy are you sad?" I wiped my eyes. "I just miss grandpa." she frowned hugging me. "Mommy?" "Yeah baby?" "Can Daddy and I give you and Emma your surpise maybe that will cheer you up." I laughed, "thats up to dad." she looked at him as he smiled. "Let's do it baby girl." he told her as she cheered. "The babies are in the car with the AC going at the perfect temp us in one and you in the other." Emma and I followed the boys to a huge house outside of Charming. "So this is our house now." I gasped and looked at him. "WHAT!" "yeah we bought it the way it is and they didn't even want much for it in all honesty." Happy said as I nodded. "Go explore you and Emma we got the kids." Jax said as Emma and I ran inside this house.
"Oh god" I said as Emma laughed. "We have a laundry room." I laughed as she shook her head, NO we have a fucking kitchen." we both laughed.
