Chapter 17 - Perfect Guy
"Damnit Sutton, stop fucking aruging with me." Happy growled with frustation. He had been going around and around with the entire conversation about her being at the club house while he went to fight later that night.
"No. I'm not going to sit in a small ass room with God knows how many women you've fucked. It's not happening." Sutton growled right back to the man, "I am perfectly fine staying here." Sutton added going into the kitchen to grab a bottle of water.
"Don't make me drag your ass there." Happy warned, "I'm doing this to make sure you are fucking safe while I'm handling this shit." Happy added, "Besides, the only gashes that will be there know their place, so they won't start shit with you." Happy added and noticed the glare in Sutton's eyes.
"Just how I want to spend my day, surrounded by whores." Sutton rolled her eyes, knowing that Happy wasn't going to drop the conversation, "I'd love to be a criminal for a day surrounded by a bunch of dudes I've fucked." Sutton added under her breath causing Happy's jealous to get the best of him, and punched the refridgerator, "That was pure genius." Sutton rolled her eyes and left the kitchen and headed towards the bedroom with Happy hot on her heels.
"Look, I don't care how pissed you are about this, I need to know that you will be safe while we are all busy." Happy stated, grabbing a bag from the closet and tossing it on the bed, "Now pack."
Sutton glared at the man who was glaring right back at her, but she decided to choose her battles, "How long am I staying?" Sutton questioned, not looking at the tattooed man.
"Just pack for the night." Happy stated, "If things go accordingly, we'll come back here tonight." Happy added.
Sutton shook her head, and moved around the bedroom in order to grab a pair of clothes for tomorrow, along with something to sleep in that night in case she had to stay in the club house, and threw it into her bag, then made sure to stick her vitamins in her purse, along with her cell phone charger, and grabbed her kindle to read.
"Let's go." Happy stated, grabbing the bag for Sutton, and let her walk out of the bedroom, then followed her out of the house, making sure to lock the door behind him.

Happy hated the fact that he thought it was best to bring Sutton to the club house, but he wasn't going to risk anything happening to Sutton or their unborn baby, especially after hearing about what had happened to the Queen. Since he was really apprehensive about the entire thing, he had decided to have Tig give the Queen a heads up, so she wouldn't hassle Sutton, knowing that it wouldn't end well for Gemma.
"Think of it as a meet the friends gathering." Happy tried to joke helping Sutton with her bag, and knew that she rolled her eyes behind her sunglasses, "This way." Happy gestured his head towards the club house, being on high alert after what had happened to Chibs.
Sutton followed the tattooed man across the parking lot and into the club house door, and followed him into the bar, where he was instantly greeted by a few men.
"Doll." Tig greeted Sutton, kissing her cheek, "Glad to see you on this side of the tracks." Tig joked, causing Sutton to give him a tight smile, feeling uncomortable.
Happy knew that Sutton was out of her elimate, which is why he had brought her earlier so he could introduce her to the men, along with Gemma so she could get comfortable, "Tig, stay with her for a minute, while I go put the bags up." Happy stated.
"Come on kid, I'll introduce you to a few of the guys." Tig put an arm around Sutton's back, and guided her towards the bar.
"Bobby, Chibs, this is Sutton, Hap's old lady." Tig stated, introducing her to the first two men.
"It's nice to meet you." Sutton smiled softly at Bobby, who was the older heavier man, then turned to Chibs, who Happy had told her about, "I'm glad to see that you're doing better." Sutton smiled.
"Aye lovey, thank you." Chibs spoke, "What happened there?" Chibs questioned, gesturing towards the shoulder and the sling.
"Oh, I fell trying to snowboard." Sutton chuckled lightly, "Ended up hitting a rock."
"Damn girl." Bobby shook his head, "Good thing you didn't hurt yourself further." Bobby added.
Sutton knew that the club members were a little tense since Happy had told her about the issues they were having, and was slightly grateful that no one wanted to carry on a conversation that wasn't small talk.
"Ope, this is Sutton." Tig introduced a tall man, and Sutton looked up to him and gave him a smile.
"I think the introductions are over Tig." Sutton spoke lowly, seeing all of the game faces the men were sporting, and was beyond thankful to see Tara walking in with an older woman she assumed was Gemma.
It took only a moment for Tara to spot Sutton, and gave her a smile, "Sutton..." Tara spoke up, causing Gemma to eye the brunette up and down after getting a run down of the woman, and knew that she could be trusted.
"Tara." Sutton smiled, excused herself from Tig's side and headed towards the two women.
Tara gave her a gentle hug, "This is Gemma, Gemma, this is Sutton." Tara introduced the two, silently praying that Gemma wouldn't start any of her shit with the pregnant woman.
"Nice to meet you." Sutton smiled softly, trying to not unfold at Gemma's stare.
"How far along are you?" Gemma questioned.
Sutton tensed for a moment, "Uh, going on 14 weeks."
Gemma gave a nod, "Come on, you can help us in the kitchen." Gemma stated, walking straight past Sutton and towards the kitchen leaving the two brunettes to follow her.

Later that afternoon,Sutton knew that Happy was getting ready to leave to go fight the men who had hurt his brothers, and the woman of the club, and knew that he was in a different mode compared to what she was use to seeing out of him and followed him outside as everyone was saying goodbye.
"Be careful." Sutton whispered and he gave her a nod, and leaned to kiss her, and placed a hand on her stomach.
Sutton watched as Happy walked to his bike, and started it up, causing her to let out an axious sigh, hoping that he'd come back to her in one piece.
"Come here." Gemma spoke quietly to Sutton, Tara and Lyla, "Let's get everyone inside." Gemma added, putting an arm around Sutton and Tara, then hollered for Chucky.
Sutton found herself overly anxious knowing that Happy was going to be fighting, even though she knew he could handle himself, she just didn't want anything happening to him.
"If you don't stop bouncing that god damn leg..." Gemma warned, causing Sutton to stop, "I know you're worried but he'll be fine." Gemma added quietly.
"I know." Sutton sighed, "Just a lot of shit has happened the last couple of weeks." Gemma gave her a nod in understanding.
"You need to try to eat something. After all, you are carrying Hap's kid." Gemma joked lightly, causing Sutton to let out a laugh.
"The difference is Hap will eat anything, this baby doesn't seem to know how to make up it's mind yet." Sutton explained, following Gemma into the kitchen where Chucky was standing with Tara who was holding Abel.

The next morning rolled around, and Happy had stopped in for a few moments to see Sutton sound asleep in his old dorm room, and had leaned down to kiss her.
"Hap?" Sutton blinked her eyes open.
"Yeah. Wanted to check on you before we head out again." Happy stated, "We'll be going home tonight." Happy added, "Tara, Gemma and Lyla went to the police station with the guys." Happy explained.
Sutton gave a nod in understanding, and sat up further in the bed, "You okay?" Sutton questioned, eyeing Happy's face and then hands to make sure he was unharmed.
"Yeah. Fine." Happy rasped out, "Got to go though, want to make sure these assholes leave town."
Sutton yawned, allowing Happy to kiss her forehead, "Be careful, and come back in one piece."
"Always." Sutton watched as Happy walked out of the dorm room after glancing towards the bed, and then shut the door behind him.
Sutton had to admit that she was surprised how well everyone was treating her for being an outsider, since she had learned from Tara how they could act, but she assumed everyone was being respectful because of who her boyfriend was.
The brunette had managed to get to know Gemma, and realized that she didn't want to get on the womans bad side, and had spent a couple of hours talking to Lyla, and had to admit that she never would of guessed she was a pornstar, but was extremely sweet. When Chucky had talked to her, she was completely weirded out at first, but realized that you had to get use to him.
Instead of heading out into the club house, Sutton had decided to take a shower for the day, and take her time before getting wrapped up in socializing.
By the time Sutton had showered and gotten dressed in a pair of boyfriend jeans, she had rolled up the hems some, and then put on a white tank top, and then added a red flannel shirt, then carefully put her sling back on, and headed back in the small room and brushed her damp hair.
"Sutton?" Sutton heard Chucky's voice, causing her to move off the bed and open the door to the see the man, and gave him a smile, "I made breakfast."
"Alright, I'll be out in a second." Sutton smiled and went to slip on her black flip flops and shut the door behind her as she followed Chucky out of the room.

"What happened?" Sutton looked to Happy as he walked into her house later that night, after getting a call from him saying that she could go home.
Sutton took in Happy's distraught look and realized something had happened, he was beyond tense, and his hands were in fists at his sides as he sat down in the large chair.
"Hap, you're scaring me." Sutton whispered, never seeing the man like this, and watched as he stuck his arms out, to reach for her, pulling her between his legs, and resting his forehead against her stomach gently.
"Someone kidnapped Abel." Happy spoke lowly after a few moments of holding Sutton close, "Cameron Hayes, and Irish man I took to Canada." Happy stated.
"What?" Sutton questioned, hoping that she had heard him wrong.
Happy looked up to Sutton after she tensed at his words, and breathed out, "Cameron Hayes took Abel."
"What do you mean took Abel?" Sutton shook her head, her heart falling into her chest for Jax and Tara.
"Kidnapped." Happy saw the panic in Sutton's eyes, "Half-Sack is dead." Happy added, and watched as Sutton stepped back.
"Oh God.." Sutton shook her head with unshed tears building realizing that there was a lot more danger to the club the longer she was around.
Happy pulled Sutton back to him, and looked up at her, "I will do everything in my power to make sure that nothing happens to you or our baby." Happy promised and Sutton looked at him for a moment, but remained silent.
"I need to call Tara."
"Babe, give it a day..." Happy pulled her into his lap and wrapped his arms around her, careful to avoid her shoulder, "It's going to be a long couple of days trying to track down leads." Happy added.
Sutton gave a nod in understanding, not even sure what to say about anything that was going on anymore, and just decided to wrap her arm around Happy, allowing him to put a large hand on her stomach as he laid the side of his face on her chest, and knew that he was trying to gather his thoughts.
"When's Kip's funeral?" Sutton questioned quietly.
"Having a wake for him tomorrow night."
-SOA-
The next evening, Sutton had driven her car to the funeral home where Half-Sack's wake was being held, and spotted the several bikes, and spotted Happy walking towards her. Getting out of the car, Sutton made her way towards the tattooed man and saw his friend Kozik walking behind him, and gave her a soft smile.
Sutton allowed Happy to put a hand on her lower back to escort her inside so she could pay her respects to the prospect, but stopped seeing Jax and Clay talking by the coffin. Once they were finished, Sutton had paid her respects for the man she had just met, and left the room, and headed outside with Happy behind her along with Kozik.
"You okay?" Happy questioned quietly as they stood outside for a moment.
"Yeah, just a headache." Sutton gave him a soft smile, and rolled her neck and then glanced to the large front yard to see everyone standing around.
Sutton's brain couldn't register being pushed to the ground by Kozik, making sure to protect her shoulder and unborn child as her eyes bugged out scanning for her boyfriend who was walking straight towards a moving vehicle that was firing shots at the crowd. Sutton watched in horror as a little boy got shot, and then David Hale ran over, then saw Chucky get grazed with a bullet as everyone fell to the ground.
The sound of gun fires rang out as the patched members tried shooting at the speeding van that fled away, allowing Kozik to help her up, and then watched as Jax jumped down to the sidewalk to attack one of the men who was shooting.
"Sutton..." Happy's voice snapped her gaze away from the scene, "You okay?" His dark eyes looked her over.
Sutton shook her head, "I can't..." Sutton's eyes filled with tears as they spilled over quickly, "I can't do this..." Sutton whimpered as Happy tried to wrap his arms around her, but she pushed him away.
"Babe..." Happy saw the look of pure fear in her eyes.
"No.." Sutton shook her head, "I can't do this anymore..." Sutton wiped her cheeks and then rushed to her car, leaving Happy speechless.
A/N: Thoughts?
I want to go ahead and apologize for this chapter, lol. It's rather choppy in my opinion. So, I know some of you have a certain view of Sutton, but you also have to remember, almost everyone would freak out with the events that happened. Just some more than others. But with that being said, Has anyone ever wondered why Tara just stands in the grass of the funeral like a potato with a Kim Kardashian face instead of helping the little boy who got shot? That has been bugging the crap out of me.
