A/N: Thank you for taking the time to read this story, it means the world to me. As always, I do not own any of the SOA characters that will appear through out this story.
Chapter 32 - Perfect Guy
"Damnit Sutton, stop complaining, we are almost home." Happy growled to his girlfriend who had been back seat driving for the last part of their trip back home from Colorado.
They had spent three days visiting Sutton's parents until Penelope ended up having an allergic reaction to food that Happy had given her a taste of some seafood sauce at a restaurant, and sent Sutton into a straight panic, which led to them fighting.
"Don't tell me what to do." Sutton growled from the back seat as she looked at their sleeping daughter, beyond grateful that the little girl was alright.
It had been the scariest moment of Sutton's life, seeing her little girl start to break out in hives, and her little lips swell and her breathing labored. She knew that Happy felt terrible about the entire thing since neither of them knew that she was allergic to anything, and it didn't help that Sutton had been treating him like it was his fault, but she had let the fear control her attitude towards the tattooed man.
Finally pulling into the driveway to their home, Happy looked to the front porch and felt like something was off, but wasn't sure what it was.
"Babe, stay here, lock the doors." Happy stated, putting the car in park and saw the worried look on her face, "Just want to make sure everything is okay." Happy stated and watched the brunette give him a nod.
"Be careful..." Sutton whispered, watching Happy get out of the car, and waited until she locked the car doors before heading into the house, and Sutton panicked a little seeing Happy pull out his gun as he approached the door.
As Happy unlocked the front door, he noticed that the alarm was still set, so he quickly unarmed the system, and noticed flashes of light coming from the living room. Holding out his gun, he headed straight for the living room and stopped in his tracks.
Looking around the large living room, he noticed several different pictures printed out on paper, hanging all over the room, and it was of Sutton and a man that he didn't know, but quickly realized that it was her ex-boyfriend, then he looked at the TV to see a sex tape playing.
Happy felt sick to his stomach seeing the TV screen, and quickly lost it. He ended up storming to the TV that was mounted on the wall and ripping it off of the stand, and crashed it to the floor, and began ripping off the different pictures on the walls through out the living room.
"He's fucking dead." Happy snarled to himself, as he was seeing red and pulled out his cell phone in order to have Juice get any information he could on the man, and then went in searched through out the rest of the home to make sure the man wasn't in their home.
Once the house was clear, Happy knew that he would have to have Sutton in the house to make sure nothing was taken, since he wasn't sure what all she had and didn't have, and knew that it was going to make things worse for them at the moment.
Lighting up a cigarette as he stepped outside, he saw Sutton looking at him through the windshield and gave her a nod saying that it was okay to come out of the car, and he silently watched as she got out of the SUV, and moved to get Penelope out of the carseat, and let Vito out on his leash, and headed straight for the front porch.
"What?" Sutton questioned, instantly knowing that Happy was furious since he was smoking a few feet away from them.
Happy let out a breath, knowing that he would have to watch his language since Penelope was watching him, "Your ex was in the house." Happy started out, and instantly saw Sutton tense.
"What? How do you know?" Sutton questioned quickly, walking away from the front door.
"The house is clear." Happy stated, "He put pictures up all over the living room of you two, and a video was playing on the TV." Happy growled, not being able to get the image out of his head of Sutton with another man.
"Oh God.." Sutton frowned, tears instantly springing into her eyes, and heard the sounds of motorcycles quickly approaching and knew that Happy had called his brothers.
"Don't want you seeing that shit, but I need you to go through your things to make sure nothing was taken." Happy stated as several of the club members pulled up in front of their home.
Sutton was thankful she had her sunglasses on as she held Penelope close to her, as she tried to calm herself down, knowing that Sebastian had found out where she was, and knew that it was going to get worse before it got better.
The dark haired woman couldn't find herself being able to step foot into the house, and noticed that Happy was stalling as well, and knew that he was upset, as Clay Morror, Jax Teller and the rest of the gang approached.
Sutton sat on the end of the porch steps and saw Kozik approaching with a worried look on his face, and gave him a weak smile as he bent down and kissed her head, and then kissed Penelope's head.
Happy knew that Sutton was extremely embarassed and ashamed of what was in the living room, and had Kozik and Tig help him clean up the pictures while Juice and the rest of the guys made sure that the house wasn't bugged or anything to give them time to clean up the paper pictures.
"Sutton..." Sutton heard Kozik's voice, causing her to turn around to look at the front door, "Hap needs you to come in to see if anything is missing." Kozik added, and watched the woman stand up, and walk up the stair with Penelope on her hip, and Vito following.
"Can you take her?" Sutton questioned lowly, and Kozik reached for the little girl, and watched as Sutton tensed as she walked into the house.

Happy's dark orbs were glued onto Sutton as she entered the living room and surveyed the broken TV that was still playing the video, "Can't turn it off..." Happy stated, and watched as Sutton walked towards it and ripped the cords out of the back while the men stared at the walls.
"I need you to see if anything is missing." Happy put a large hand on Sutton's stomach to keep her from looking at the pictures that were in a large black trashbag.
"Don't need to see that shit." Happy stated quietly, and watched as Sutton gave him a small nod, and he could tell that she was shaking slightly, "Want me to come with you?" Happy questioned, knowing that the brunette was upset, and gave him another nod.
Sutton took a deep breath and headed upstairs, knowing that if Sebastian took anything it would be of hers, and went straight to the bedroom she shared with Happy and saw Opie and Juice walking around the destroyed room.
Sutton wiped her cheeks quickly as she scanned all of their clothing scattered around the floor, their bed ruined with some sort of liquid that she wasn't even going to question the substance.
"I...I don't know..." Sutton shook her head, trying to look at the materials on the ground, and headed for the closet to see that it was emptied out for the most part, along with some of Happy's things, "Can you go check P's room?" Sutton questioned to Happy, needing a minute to herself, and watched the tattooed man nod his head as she walked into the bathroom.
-SOA-
Sutton found herself bracing her hands against the large sink seeing an old picture of her and Sebastian taped against the mirror, and broke down in tears. She had absolutely no idea what would make him do something like this after being broken up for so long. She no longer felt safe like she did when she moved here, and she definitely didn't want her daughter to be put in any sort of danger.
"Sutton..." The brunette heard an unfamiliar voice, and turned to see Opie standing in the door frame, so she quickly wiped her cheeks.
"Y..Yeah?" Sutton choked out lightly.
"We need to check in here..." Opie stated, gesturing to the device in his hand, and after seeing the picture taped against the mirror and walked over and ripped it off.
Sutton stood there for a moment, and felt Opie's large hand on her shoulder and gave it a comforting squeeze, "We won't let him anywhere near you guys." Opie stated, referring to the club.
Sutton gave him a nod, a tight smile and headed out of the bathroom in order to check on Penelope's room. Walking into the nursery, Sutton spotted Happy sitting in the rocking chair with his head in his hands, causing her to make her way to him.
The woman cleared her throat, causing Happy to look up, and he reached out for her and pulled her into his lap, and wrapped his arms around her, "He won't get away with this." Happy stated, "I promise you, when I find him..." Happy started out but he was cut off by Juice gently knocking on the door getting their attention.
"Can we talk outside?" Juice stated, causing both Happy and Sutton to raise an eyebrow, but they instantly saw Juice pointing to his ear, and they realized that the house was bugged, causing Sutton's skin to crawl.
Happy and Sutton walked out of the house quickly, and Happy watched as Sutton ran to the side of the yard and emptied her stomach, causing him to want to kill Sebastian even more.
"So much for being able to relax after that trip." Tig commented with a shake of his head in disgust.
"What did you find out?" Happy questioned to Juice and Opie after glancing to Sutton to see Kozik and Penelope with her.
"There's a camera in the bedroom, bathroom, Penelope's room, and several in the living room." Juice stated, "It's some of the simple shit, don't really think he knew what he was doing, put them in general places." Juice explained.
"So he didn't realize we would check the house for bugs?" Happy questioned.
"Right." Juice stated, as everyone listened to what the Intelligence Officer had to say, "I managed to get one off the TV when Sutton ripped out the cords, and I think I have an idea." Juice explained.
Happy gave him a nod, letting the man throw out his idea since it had to be better than him hunting the prick down and killing him in broad daylight.
"Since there are mics on the cameras, we should leave them in the house, make it look like you two are over with, and he'll come wondering back and instead of Sutton being there..." Juice began to explain.
"It'll be me." Happy stated, thinking over the idea, "Don't want him coming back to the house though." Happy added.
"That's probably a good idea." Jax commented, "We can think of a place where we can say she's at, but the only problem is, what if he's watching the house?" Jax questioned, causing everyone to glance around some.
Happy let out a sigh and rubbed his temples, "I need to talk to Sutton about this, see what she thinks. Don't want to put her or Penelope in any sort of danger." Happy stated, seeing the dark haired woman approaching with Penelope on her hip, and Kozik following behind them.
"What?" Sutton questioned, leaning into Happy's side as he put a protective arm around her for a moment.
"We have an idea on how to get this son of a bitch." Jax commented to the dark haired woman, causing Sutton to look to Happy for answers.
"The house has cameras with mics." Happy explained, "If he's watching, we make it look like we broke up, I leave the house, and if he comes around, we get him that way." Happy put it simply, and Sutton frowned.
"I don't want to be alone in that house..." Sutton stated with a shake of the head.
"We aren't going to let anything happen to you or Penelope." Clay spoke up with all of the men agreeing within a minute.
Sutton looked to Happy, with his dark eyes staring at her, "I promise you, he won't get near you or our daughter." Happy vowed, "We will have someone watching you at all times." Happy added.
"Where are you going to be?" Sutton questioned quietly.
"I'll be with whoever is watching the house." Happy stated, "But if we do this, we have to assume that since the house has cameras he's watching us, so if we do this break up, it has to look legit." Happy stated.
"Okay..." Sutton commented, "It has to be a build up though, he'll know something is up if we break up right away." Sutton added, "Did he see you guys checking the house?" Sutton questioned to Opie and Juice, and watched them shake their head no.
"Looked like we were just checking out the damage." Opie stated.
Sutton gave them a nod in understanding, "Let's go get this shit cleaned up, I want this over as soon as possible." Sutton stated to Happy.
"Tig offered to watch Penelope for the afternoon so we can clean this crap up. Don't want her getting into something."
"Alright, good idea." Sutton agreed, "Don't know what he put on anything, sick fuck..." Sutton shook her head with disgust, "Can you take Vito with you?" Sutton questioned to Tig.
"Absolutely doll." Tig stated, "She still on her antibiotics?" Tig questioned.
"Yeah, she still has to have lotion put on the hives. The stuff is in the diaper bag, and she has baby tylenol if she gets fussy." Sutton explained as Happy walked into the house, allowing the men to head towards their bikes to figure out a game plan and scope out the neighborhood to make sure he wasn't around.

Tension was running beyond high between Sutton and Happy as they were cleaning up their home, and the tattooed man knew that Sutton didn't want to be in the home while there were cameras around.
"This bed is fucking ruined." Sutton growled in frustration, deciding to throw away the sheets and comforter as well, "Fucking ridiculous!" Sutton growled in frustration, and glared to Happy.
"What? It's not like I fucking did it Sutton." Happy growled, just as frustrated as the brunette.
"It didn't help that you had to answer my god damn phone and threaten him." Sutton snapped, "If you could of just let it go to voicemail or something this wouldn't of happened!"
Happy's eyes narrowed, "You serious right now?" Happy questioned in a low tone, knowing that this wasn't an act, and listened to the woman scoff.
"Yes I'm serious!" Sutton shouted, throwing her hands in the air, "Look around you Happy, this is because you threatened him! You couldn't just fucking let shit go, could you? Hadn't heard from him in months since he called last time and the moment you decide to answer my phone, this shit happens!" Sutton shook her head and stormed out of the bedroom, needing to get away from the tattooed man.
"The fuck you going Sutton?!" Happy growled, following the woman down the stairs and into the kitchen.
"I need fucking space!" Sutton snapped, grabbing her purse and car keys, only to have Happy stop her from walking out of the kitchen.
"Where the hell are you going?" Happy questioned, panic slowly rising, and watched as she pushed past him and headed straight out of the house, with Happy hot on her heels.
Happy had managed to catch the car door from slamming and knew that he had never seen Sutton so upset, "Will you please stop..." Happy almost begged, as he kept a firm grip on the car door and moved between Sutton and the door, "Where are you going Sutton?" Happy questioned lowly.
Sutton's bottom lip began to quiver, "I can't...I can't stay there with him watching." Sutton cried out, breaking down in her car, "I can't Hap!"
Happy's heart broke seeing Sutton crying, and wasn't sure how to comfort her in that moment since he couldn't strangle the man in the moment, "Baby, I promise you, I am not going to let him anywhere near you." Happy promised, "He's not going to get anywhere near you or Penelope. Juice and Chibs are in the van a few cars down on the street. Kozik and Tig are with P at Tig's house, and Bobby and Rat are out back in the alley parked." Happy explained as he cupped Sutton's cheek.
"Please...don't make me go back in there." Sutton cried shaking her head, "I can't..."
Happy found himself nodding his head in understanding, "Alright...this is what we're going to do, I'm going to start yelling at you, and then slap me, leave and go straight to Tig's house. If he's watching and follows you, then Chibs and Juice will see and follow him." Happy explained quickly, and waited for Sutton to nod her head in understanding as she wiped her cheeks, and prepared herself for his yelling.
Happy stood up and banged his hand on the roof of the SUV, angry that this was even happening, "So you're just going to fucking leave?!" Happy growled loudly, "Go fucking figure, run when things get tough." Happy scoffed, and moved away from the car with Sutton getting out of the car, now pissed off at his comment.
"Really?! You're the one who caused all of this, not me!" Sutton pushed his colorful chest, "You could of just fucking ignored it, and now look, our house is ruined!" Sutton pushed Happy again.
"Don't fucking shove me again Sutton..." Happy warned with a pointed finger.
Sutton shook her head with a scoff escaping her mouth, and turned to walk away but Happy grabbed her arm and pulled her to face him, and he didn't even see the punch coming, making complete impact to his jaw.
"All this shit is on you Hap, I'm fucking done." Sutton sneered, and headed straight for her car while Happy was trying to register what had just happened, and watched as she quickly backed out of the driveway. Once Happy saw Sutton's car on the street, he was left standing trying to figure out if that was part of the plan, or if she really meant it due to the anger in her voice and eyes.
A/N: Thoughts?
Also, I know some people probably wanted to read about the trip to Colorado, but unfortunately, I was on a roll with writing and decided to skip that part to kind of get the ball rolling on the story.
