Chapter 14 - Perfect Guy
"What in the hell happened to you?" Tara Knowles furrowed her eyebrows in concern at Sutton as the injured brunette was getting ready to clock out for the morning at Saint Thomas.
Sutton let out a laugh, "I went snowboarding and tripped, hit my head on a rock, and fractured my collar bone." Sutton explained.
"Jesus..." Tara breathed out with a shake of her head, "I was wondering, do you think maybe we could meet up later and talk?" Tara questioned quietly, "There's some things I want to talk to you about."
"Yeah, that's fine. It'll probably be around five or six though, is that okay?" Sutton questioned, knowing that she was in desperate need of sleep since being back on third shift for almost four days.
"That works. Just shoot me a text whenever you're free and I'll swing by, or we can meet up for dinner or something." Tara gave a soft smile.
Sutton gave her a nod, then headed out of the break room, to head to her car. The dark haired woman knew that Tara was well aware of the club and her relationship with Jax Teller, who was the clubs Vice President. Happy had let her know that he had asked that she not say anything about it since he wanted to be the one to tell her. There was a part of her that was slightly upset at the fact Tara had withheld the information on the club, but understood where she was coming from since it wasn't really her place to say anything.
"Sutton, can I speak with you for a minute?" Margaret had stopped her just before she was getting ready to step on to the elevator.
"Yeah, sure." Sutton turned to walk towards the red head, "Everything okay?"
"Well, actually, the doctor wants to look at your shoulder. He said he noticed that you were in a lot of pain and wanted to check to see if it was healing properly." Margaret explained.
"Okay, but I have an appointment this afternoon." Sutton explained.
"Oh, alright. How communication must of gotten crossed." Margaret smiled softly, "Whenever you find out what is going on, just give me a call and let me know."
"If I for some reason do need surgery, if I could have a day or so to recover, I can get back to work." Sutton stated, "I know you guys have been really patient with me when it came to swifting to days, and then the vacation.." Sutton started to explain but the red head cut her off.
"Don't be silly, you'll get time off to recover. Since the holidays are over, we won't be such short staffed, so we can find someone to replace you."
Sutton gave a soft smile, "Alright, well I'm going to head home and get some sleep before I come back in for my appointment." Sutton gave the red head a wave before she had walked down the hall in order to head outside.

"Damnit babe, why didn't you schedule it for when I could come with you?" Happy questioned as Sutton woke up from sleeping, while the tattooed man was at her home on his lunch break.
"It's just an appointment to decide if I need surgery or not." Sutton looked up to the tall man, "Besides, you'd end up glaring at a hole into the doctor's head."
Since Sutton and Happy had gotten back from Colorado, Happy had been staying over at the dark haired woman's home instead of his own. Once the couple had gotten over the road bump that consisted of the club, things had been going a lot better for them, and they were growing closer.
"Told your parents I'd look out for you." Happy huffed out, running a hand over his face.
"You are baby, but there's nothing you can do besides sit and try to intimidate the doctor."
"Let me call the garage, see if I can take an early day." Happy offered, but was stopped by Sutton's small hand on his.
"Hap, I promise you, nothing is going to happen at the hospital." Sutton tried to reason, "He is just going to check the stitches, look at my shoulder, then maybe run an x-ray or something, that's it."
"He?" Happy raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, he. Doctor Anderson." Sutton stated, "I've worked with him a couple of times."
Happy gave her a nod, and pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and stepped out of her bedroom as she was getting dressed in order to make sure the garage didn't need him, and to make sure there wasn't club drama popping off, so he could go with the dark haired woman.
Sutton couldn't help but to chuckle hearing Happy's conversation while he was on the phone. She knew that he had wanted to make sure that she was protected, which meant keeping her at arms length at the club house, and she had to admit, she wasn't sure if she wanted to be near the women he probably had slept with. Of course, Sutton knew that the woman who was known as the Queen, would want to meet her, along with the other club members, but Happy was persistant on him not wanting her to get tied to the club.
Once Sutton was dressed in a pair of boyfriend jeans that were easy to put on, she had put on a bra, waiting for her boyfriend to get off the phone to help her hook the strap, and then with her tank top.
Getting impatient, Sutton walked out of the bedroom and into the living room where Happy was standing on the phone, and turned her back towards him, and felt his warm hands touch her back to hook the bra.
"Alright. I'll let you know." Happy stated and then snapped the phone shut, "Tig wants to know how it goes." Happy added, grabbing Sutton's black racer back tank top to help her put it on, "That bruising is worse babe." Happy frowned.
Sutton nodded in agreement, "It's pretty bad." Sutton glanced towards the bruised skin, "I just need to grab my shoes, and then we need to go." Sutton stated, getting ready to walk away, but Happy stopped her, leaning down to kiss her.
"Don't think I could get tired of kissing you..." Sutton breathed out, trying to catch her breath, causing Happy to smirk, then let her go so she could get her shoes.

Sitting in the doctor's office, Happy was ready to kill the doctor for touching Sutton's shoulder, feeling around the bone, and watching the beautiful brunette wince in pain. Her small hand was tangled with his, and he felt her squeeze tightly every time the doctor would touch her skin.
"I want to send you to get an x-ray, see what it looks like now." Dr. Anderson explained, "I think that some bone shifted around or something, so I want to be sure."
"Alright." Sutton gave a nod, then glanced to Happy who was glaring at the doctor, causing her to chuckle lightly and slap at his hand, giving him a knowing look.
"What?" Happy questioned once the doctor was out of the room.
"You were staring holes at him." Sutton stated simply, as she refixed her tank top carefully.
"He's lucky that's the only thing I did." Happy stated honestly, "Didn't like him touching you."
Sutton rolled her eyes, and got up from the exam table and headed for the door to get the x-ray done, and knew that Happy was going to follow her.
Walking down the small office hallway, and out into the actual hospital, Happy kept a large hand on her lower back and allowed her to lead them towards the x-ray department.
"He gonna take your stitches out?" Happy questioned.
"Yeah, didn't you hear anything that was said or were you too busy staring into his soul?" Sutton joked.
"Basically."
Happy walked into the x-ray room right behind Sutton and glanced around the room as the technician and doctor were standing, and rolled his eyes. He knew that he was way too over protective of Sutton, but he didn't care really. Happy was getting ready to walk into the room with the x-ray machine with Sutton but the technician stopped him.
"You can't go in there with her." She stated, "She won't be that long." The tech added.
Happy glared at her, then turned to look at Sutton, "It'll be fine Hap." Sutton gave him a reassuring smile, and he gave her a nod instead of trying to protest, and allowed the doctor to shut the door.
His dark eyes stayed on Sutton the entire time through the window that looked into the room, and was trying to read the doctors lips, along with Suttons, and noticed that Sutton tensed and then her eyebrows furrowed for a moment. He watched as the doctor placed a protective sheet over her stomach and chest, exposing just her shoulder, and nodded to the tech, letting her know that he was going to take the x-ray.
Happy eyes stayed narrowed after the x-ray was taken, and then the doctor had helped Sutton up, then continued to try to read their lips through the conversation they were having. It was more than obvious that something was wrong with Sutton, but Happy had no idea what it was. Just as he was about to walk into the room, Sutton got up from the table and headed towards the door.
"You good?" Happy questioned in a dangerously low voice, causing Sutton to look up at him.
"Yeah. I'm fine." Sutton stated, moving past him to look at the x-ray.
Happy had to clench his fists at his side, knowing that the brunette was avoiding speaking about it at the moment, as she focused on the image on the screen with the other doctor.
"We will schedule something after we run a few tests." The doctor stated, and Suttong gave a nod, "I want to get it done as soon as possible."
"Alright." Sutton sighed, then turned to look at Happy, "You can go ahead and go if you want, he wants to run a few tests before scheduling surgery."
Happy's eyes narrowed even more, and followed Sutton out of the room, "What was that about?" Happy questioned following her back down the hall and into the small doctor's office, and then into the exam room.
Sutton breathed out a sigh, and pushed her hair out of her face, "He wants to run a pregnancy test." Sutton stated, eyeing Happy carefully and watched as he tensed.
"What about your birth control?" Happy questioned lowly.
"I am on birth control. He just wants to make sure before I have surgery..." Sutton explained, and watched as Happy started to pace in the small room, "Hap, it's just procedure. I haven't been late at all." Sutton added, "Stop pacing."
Happy glared at the brunette, then sat down and thought about what he would do if she would end up pregnant. It wasn't like he was extremely careful, but they had relied on Sutton's birth control.
"You want kids?" Happy questioned, causing Sutton to look at him.
"Maybe one day." Sutton stated, "I don't think we are far enough along in our relationship to be having a baby."
"So if you were to get pregnant, you wouldn't keep it?" Happy questioned with an attitude, "Just because we haven't been together that long?" Happy snapped.
Sutton was slightly taken back by his attitude, since she assumed he would of thought the same thing, but could see that he was slightly hurt by what she had said, and tried to back pedal.
"I don't mean that I'd get an abortion or anything." Sutton started out, "I just think that we're still in the honey moon stage, and if we threw a baby into a mix, I'd just be worried that we'd stay together for the sake of our child." Sutton quickly realized that she had dug a deeper hole, and before she could explain further, a nurse walked in, wanting to run some blood work on her, and didn't miss how Happy had given her an evil look, causing her to feel slightly bad.
-SOA-
Happy had remained silent while the nurse had taken Sutton's blood, and then disappeared out of the small room with it. He was slightly hurt that the woman he cared so much for thought that it would be too soon for a child, or the fact that if they were to have a child, she made it seem like it would be a mistake.
"Hap?" Sutton spoke softly, causing the tattooed man to look at her.
"Hm?" Happy hummed.
"I didn't mean it in a bad way..." Sutton stated gently, trying to think of the right words, "It's just..I just moved here not that long ago, and with starting a new job, I can't afford to take time off, especially afford a baby." Sutton explained.
"You act like I wouldn't take care of you and a baby." Happy stated.
"Hap, we haven't even been together a year, we don't live together, we haven't even discussed a future together." Sutton explained, "I'm not trying to sound like an asshole..."
"Well you are Sutton." Happy stated truthfully.
Sutton let out a frustrated sigh, "This is ridiculous." Sutton mumbled under her breath, and decided to drop the entire conversation.
Sutton wasn't trying to come off as rude or hateful about having Happy's baby, or even children one day, but right now, she knew that it would be a lot more difficult than it would later on down the road. It wasn't like she hadn't entertained the idea a couple of times, but it wasn't like she was hoping at that exact moment she'd get pregnant. She had just started working at Saint Thomas not even eight months ago, and she definitely wasn't prepared for her life to change that way just yet. She wanted to be secure in a relationship before taking that sort of step.
Happy kept letting out frustrated sighs, causing Sutton to grow overly annoyed with the man rather quickly, "If you don't stop sighing, then leave." Sutton snapped, "I can't help how I feel Hap. It's not like I said I never wanted to have children. I just want to be prepared for a baby, not just hey surprise, you're pregnant." Sutton added.
Happy rolled his dark eyes, "Don't snap at me woman." Happy warned with narrowed eyes, and heard a knock on the door and then the doctor popped his head in and then walked in.
Happy tried to gauge the doctor's demeanor, and noticed the file in his hand, "We have the test results back..." The doctor stated, causing Happy to glance to Sutton, and watched her hold her breath.
A/N: Cliff hanger. (Insert evil laugh) Thoughts? Do you think she's pregnant or not pregnant? Dun dun dun...
