A/N: I want to thank everyone for the reviews, favorites and follows. Also, thank you for the kind words regarding my father. It has definitely been an extremely nerve wracking past few days. And as usual, I do not own any of the SOA characters that will appear through out this story.
NOTE: I decided to delete "Wildest Dreams" for the time being since I'm focusing on this story, and try to finish up Rocky Road, which I will update eventually, but my muse has been extremely strong with this story. I still have all the stories I've deleted saved on my laptop, so I can go back and work on them. Just in case anyone was wondering.
Chapter 28 - Perfect Guy
Staring at the little girl who was a spitting image of herself, minus the tanned skin, caused a huge grin to appear across her face. Penelope was absoultely gorgeous, with dark brown hair, almost to the point of being black, with bright blue eyes with large specks of dark brown in them, definitely getting the dark shade from Happy.
"Mamama..." Penelope babbled as Sutton laid in the large bed with her the morning of Happy's release date.
It had been the longest fourteen months of Sutton's life. But once she had Penelope, it helped keep her mind occupied, along with taking care of the growing French Bulldog puppy, Vito and then working at the hospital, along with going to visit Happy with Penelope.
Of course Sutton had waited almost three months before taking Penelope to see Happy just because she didn't trust the type of germs that were in the prison. But the moment Happy held Penelope for the first time, her heart instantly filled with so much love and happiness, she couldn't put into words. Sutton had found herself instantly knowing that the tattooed man would be wrapped around the little girls finger. The extremely intimidating man had tears in his eyes as he held the little girl close to him as Sutton got him up to date on Penelope's doctor appointments, small milestones, and everything in between.
"Guess what baby girl..." Sutton smiled as Penelope babbled away as she cuddled against Sutton, "Daddy's coming home today." Sutton couldn't help but to laugh lightly as Penelope grinned and babbled more and tried to crawl on top of her then grabbed a fist full of her hair, "Ow, ow...let's go get you a bottle."
Sutton moved off the bed carefully with Penelope instantly clinging to her, and she hoisted her on her hip as she made her way out of the bedroom and headed downstairs to the kitchen.
The brunette had let the dog outside, and then moved to heat up a bottle of milk for Penelope, and while she waited for that to get done, she had went to the large french doors to keep an eye on Vito, and let him in when he came trotting to the door.
"You're hungry, aren't you sweet girl?" Sutton questioned quietly to the little girl who was staring down at the dog who was following Sutton around as she made her way to the living room after she had grabbed Penelope's bottle.
Laying down on the couch, with her back against a few pillows and the arm rest, Sutton positioned Penelope against the back of the couch and handed her the bottle while she reached for the remote to the TV to turn it on, and then leaned back as she helped Penelope hold her bottle.
Just the fact that the tattooed man was coming had Sutton extremely anxious, especially since she hadn't shared a home with him in so long, and it didn't help that the entire home was baby proofed because of Penelope learning to crawl, and there were several baby gates placed around to keep the little girl contained in certain areas of the home.
"Daddy is going to be here in a couple of hours..." Sutton smiled to the little girl who was dozing off as she drank her bottle, and kissed the top of her head.
Sutton hadn't gotten much sleep the night before, especially with the little brunette girl sleeping in the large bed with her for most of the night. She had been extremely jittery knowing that the next day Happy would be home.
A few weeks after Sutton had Penelope, she had gotten off maternity leave, and it had taken a toll on her not being able to spend a lot of time with her daughter. Happy had told her to take a leave of abscense from work since he would be getting out of prison, and she had finally caved, wanting to spend as much time as she could with Penelope and Happy. Since she had been working for several months, she had been able to save money so she knew that they would be okay for a couple of months until Happy was able to get back in the swing of things with work.
Sutton had started her leave at the beginning of the week, and had gotten the large home clean and had stocked up on things for Penelope, along with making sure that the cabinets and fridge was stocked so she didn't have to worry about it later on.
Glancing at her cell phone, Sutton checked the time and knew that she could sleep for about an hour while Penelope napped after her bottle, and then had to get them both ready for whenever the tattooed man showed up later on.

"Come on sweet girl, let's change your diaper..." Sutton picked up the little girl who had decided to dirty her diaper when Happy was on his way home, "You better save a couple of these for daddy.." Sutton joked, as Penelope babbled to her as she walked up the stairs with the little girl and with Vito following them.
Walking into Penelope's nursery, she went straight for the changing table and laid the little girl down, and handed her a small stuffed animal to play with so she could change her diaper quickly.
Half way through cleaning Penelope, Sutton heard the familiar sound of a harley, causing her to sigh since the little brunette started to fight as Sutton tried to put a new diaper on.
"Of course." Sutton laughed lightly as Penelope started to fight her as she tried to put on her pants when she heard the front door open and close, causing her to pick up the little girl, and grabbed a thin blanket and quickly headed for the stairs with Vitto hot on her trail.
"Sutton?" Happy's deep voice rang out through the house, causing Vito to start barking like crazy, as Sutton walked into the living room with a whimpering Penelope on her hip, as she spotted Happy standing there.
Happy couldn't contain the grin on his face as he closed the distance and wrapped his arms around the two girls, and buried his face into the curve of Sutton's neck for a moment, and then moved to kiss her for a moment, then grabbed the whiny baby, and put her in his arms.
"God, I've missed you both." Happy sighed as he pulled Sutton close to him, and heard the dog growl, "What the hell is that thing?" Happy glared at the dog causing Sutton to swat at his arm.
"Be nice to Vito. He is P's best friend." Sutton stated as she buried her face into Happy's chest, just enjoying the moment.
Happy kissed the top of Sutton's head, and then turned his attention to Penelope, and moved to sit on the couch with his daughter, "He good with her?" Happy questioned referring to the french bulldog.
"Yes Hap." Sutton laughed as she moved to sit with them, and cuddled into his side, "We've been through this a million times. He loves her to death." Sutton added, "You hungry? Thirsty? I'm going to get dinner started soon."
"Nah, I'm good. Just want to sit here for a bit with you guys." Happy stated with a sigh of relief just being back home after fourteen months, "Don't have anything to do for a while." Happy added, referring to club business and watched Sutton nod her head.
"Good." Sutton smiled, "I'm so glad that you're home." Sutton added, leaning to kiss Happy.
"No kidding." Happy added, "Hope you caught up on some sleep." Happy smirked, causing Sutton to blush immediately, knowing exactly what he was referring to and knew that it was going to be a long night once Penelope was in bed.
A/N: I know it's short but I wanted to give you guys a little something for being so patient with me during everything that has been going on. The next chapter will be an extended version of Happy coming home.
Again, thank you for the thoughts towards my dad.
