Chapter 15 - Perfect Guy
"The blood work came back..." The doctor stated, standing in front of Sutton with the file in hand, "Everything is normal, except for your hcg levels." Dr. Anderson explained, causing Sutton to shake her head no, and yank the file out of his hand.
"That's impossible. I'm on birth control. I haven't had any type of symptoms at all." Sutton began to panic, causing Happy to grow concerned on how she was handling the news, "I can't be pregnant, there has to be a mistake."
"Sutton, we ran the test twice." Dr. Anderson explained, "What I would like to do is get an ultra sound, see how far along you are exactly, and then schedule your surgery."
"Wait..." Happy spoke up, "If she's pregnant, is she allowed to have surgery?" Happy questioned with worry.
"Yes. It's common as long as the woman is far enough along." Dr. Anderson explained, "I'll have someone come down with an ultrasound machine, so we can get started." He explained, and then left the room.
Happy wasn't sure what exactly Sutton was thinking in that moment, especially since he saw tears streaming down her face, but she quickly wiped them away. The tattooed man knew that it wasn't the best time, but had to admit that he was extremely hurt with her reaction.
"Babe..." Happy voice was low, trying to not show emotion about the news of him being a father at the moment, "We'll figure this out together." Happy added and watched the brunette give him a nod.
Sutton realized that she must of seemed like a major bitch for freaking out, but she thought that she had a crazy few days, finding out about Happy and the club, then her snowboarding injury, and then she began to panic thinking of the fall, then the pain medicine she had taken due to the pain.
"Oh God, what if something is wrong because of me falling? What about the pain pills Hap?" Sutton freaked out, causing Happy to move from his seat to the exam table, and cupped her cheeks.
"We will find out." Happy stated, "Stop freaking out right now." Happy leaned to kiss her forehead, then rubbed her back as she rested the side of her head against his chest.
"I'm such an asshole." Sutton whimpered.
Happy let out a laugh in agreement, knowing that Sutton was completely reeling at everything that has happened, and knew that her major concern was them being ready as a couple to take care of a child together. He knew that with the money he had made from the club, Sutton didn't really have to work, but knew that if he had brought up anything at the moment, she would go into a full blown panic attack, so he decided to remain quiet until they did the ultrasound.
After several minutes of silence, Sutton heard the familiar knock on the door, and then the nurse walk in with the machine on wheels behind her, and then the doctor.
"Sutton, I think you're far enough along to do the external ultrasound, so could you lay back for me please?" Dr. Anderson questioned, and Happy helped the brunette lay back gently, and lifted her shirt to expose her stomach and noticed that it was slightly larger, but you'd have to focus on the toned area of her stomach.
"With her falling when she was snowboarding, will that effect the baby?" Happy questioned as he held Sutton's hand.
"We're going to find out right now." Dr. Anderson stated once he started up the machine, and then put gel on her stomach, "Can you turn the lights off for me, please." He added.
Happy gave a nod and moved to turn off the light, and then went back to Sutton's side, as Dr. Anderson began to move the stick around her stomach.
Sutton's eyes were glued to the small screen with tears instantly filling her eyes at the sound of the baby's heart beat filling the room.
"It looks like you're almost eleven weeks." Dr. Anderson stated, "Everything seems to be extremely well."
"Why isn't she showing much?" Happy questioned concerned.
"Well it's probably because she runs and she's small to begin with." Dr. Anderson explained, "But, the baby looks extremely healthy. It's about the size of a lime at the moment, would you guys like some pictures?"
"Yeah, please." Sutton commented quietly, "Are you sure the fall or the pain medicine didn't hurt it?"
"I'm positive. Strong steady heart beat, and it's at the size it should be." Dr. Anderson explained, "I'd like for you to find an OBGYN though, and I'll write you a prescription for vitamins."
"What about her surgery though?" Happy questioned.
"I'll wait a week or so, until she's passed the 12 week mark, and set something up." Dr. Anderson looked between Sutton and Happy, "I promise you, during the surgery, the baby will be completely fine. It's normal for people to have certain surgeries while pregnant, but we can't put it off for much longer."
Sutton gave a nod, and wiped off her stomach, all of a sudden feeling the need to sleep after the news, "Alright, so next week? Sutton questioned, trying to figure out the due date in her head and knew that she was pregnant during Christmas without realizing it, so her due date would be sometime in July.
"Yes. I'll talk to Margaret and let her know that I think it's best you take medical leave at least until after you recover from surgery, just so you don't stress out."
"Alright, thank you." Sutton gave the man a soft smile, then gave her a prescription for vitamins, along with sonogram photos, and a list of OBGYN's, then told her that he'd handle the red head.

Once Happy had pulled into Sutton's driveway, he was slightly worried that she had remained silent during the car ride home, without saying much about the news of the baby. He kept glancing at her out of the corner of his eye as they made their way inside her home.
"You going to say anything?" Happy questioned as he watched the brunette move around the living room to turn on the candle warmer, and then put the papers the doctor had gave her on the small kitchen island table, then turned to look at him.
"I don't know what to say Hap." Sutton stated honestly, "It just...I guess it hasn't fully sunk in yet. I just need some time to let it register."
Happy tried to refrain from letting out a frustrated sigh, because he figured that most women would be jumping for joy at the news of a pregnancy, but Sutton, he couldn't even figure out where her head was at with the news. Of course, he wasn't extremely thrilled but he had to admit, he thought it was because of how Sutton was reacting.
"Sutton..." Happy ran a hand over his face.
"Hap, I just need to sleep for a bit." Sutton sighed.
Happy glared at the woman, but knew that if he kept pressuring her to talk about it, she'd end up shutting down, and knew that she was extremely tired from working third shifts for the past few days.
"We need to talk about this though." Happy stated.
"I promise, when I wake up, we can talk about it." Sutton yawned and headed for her bedroom.
After kicking off her shoes, Sutton moved towards the large bed, and crawled in carefully when she heard Happy's cell phone ringing from in the living room and knew that it was the prepaid and probably club business, so she wasn't surprised when he walked into the room a few moments later.
Happy looked to the long haired brunette who was laying on the bed with a pillow under her elbow to keep it from falling to her side, and then his dark eyes scanned to her stomach for a brief moment, then he grabbed the quilt and covered her up.
"I have to head out." Happy spoke lowly, knowing that club business was starting to get sketchy, and wasn't exactly sure what was going on, but knew that Ethan Zoebelle and AJ Weston were causing a lot of issues for the Sons of Anarchy, "It might be a late night, but I'll call you and let you know." Happy added, leaning down to kiss her plump lips.
"Okay, be careful." Sutton gave him a soft smile, silently thankful that she could have some alone time to let her mind register the fact that she as pregnant with Happy Lowman's baby.
A/N: So, Sutton is pregnant, and doesn't seem to be adjusting to the news overly well, which is causing Happy to worry, which is understandable. So...with that being said, I decided to cut the chapter short, to set up adding club drama into the mix of everything.
I know that a lot of you want Sutton to be introduced to club members, and I'll eventually get to that, but I also have a few ideas that have popped up in my head since reading some of your comments, so please, be patient as I work on the upcoming chapters and weed out the kinks.
