Chapter 35 - Perfect Guy
Since Happy's surgery was quickly approaching, Sutton had decided to go shopping for groceries and house supplies since the home was rather bare due to their trip to Colorado. The brunette doctor knew that once Happy had gotten home, she would be too busy taking care of the tattooed man to make any trips out.
Hearing her cell phone ringing in her leather jacket pocket, Sutton let out a sigh as she was pushing the full cart through the aisle, and tried to reach for her phone quickly, knowing that it was her impatient boyfriend.
"Hello?" Sutton answered, finally fishing the Iphone out of her jacket.
"Where are you?" Happy's voice rang through the speaker phone.
"At the store, just about done. Why?" Sutton questioned, "I thought Tig was entertaining you?"
"He had to go back to work." Happy commented, "So it's just P and I and we miss momma." Happy added causing Sutton to laugh.
"I should be home soon. Do you know if Vito needs dog food?" Sutton questioned hearing the dog barking in the background, causing her to furrow her eyebrows at the noise.
"Nah, we're good. We still have a huge bag from our trip." Happy stated, and hollered at Vito to stop barking, but he wouldn't.
"Why is he barking? The neighbors cat isn't in the yard is it?" Sutton questioned and heard the sound of glass shattering, "Hap?" Sutton questioned worried, and then heard Penelope's cries and the cell phone shuffling, "Happy?!" Sutton growled into the phone, and quickly panicked hearing Happy's voice talking to someone, but couldn't understand what was being said.
Panic quickly set in, and Sutton grabbed her purse from the cart and left the cart in the middle of the aisle and bolted out of the store as quickly as she could, and decided to end the call in order to call Tig, or even one of the club members.
Making her way to the car she was able to get ahold of Gemma at the garage, and the Queen had promised her she would send someone over, and as she started her SUV she had tried to call Happy's cell phone and listened to it ring.
"Damnit...pick up." Sutton growled, as she made her way out of the parking lot, knowing that she was about to break a bunch of laws in order to get to her home.
She found herself shaking, her stomach rolling with nerves as she kept trying to reach her boyfriend, and was growing extremely anxious with the fact that he wasn't picking up.
Gripping the steering wheel, Sutton decided to run the red light once she had checked to make sure there were no cars coming, and floored it through town, quickly making it to her home to see Jax, Opie, Kozik and Tig getting off their bikes.
Not even bothering to shut off her car, she slammed the SUV in park, and quickly got out and made a dash to the front door, only to be stopped by Jax's arm, and was passed to Opie.
Sutton was about to speak but heard Happy's rough voice call out for their daughter, causing Sutton to panic even more, "Penelope?!" Sutton screamed, getting out of Opie's arms and pushing past him and Jax as they entered the home.
"Hap?!" Sutton rushed out, quickly entering the living room to see Happy struggling to get up off the floor, and then looked around for their daughter, "Where's P?!" Sutton breathed out, instantly running through the living room and into the kitchen to call out for their daughter.
The dark haired woman checked the entire first floor, Penelope's favorite hiding spots when she would wonder around, and felt her heart drop into her stomach as she raced upstairs, knowing that the little girl wouldn't be up there. Once she had checked upstairs, she rushed back down to see Happy extremely upset, with unshed tears building in his eyes while Jax was on his cell phone.
"Where is she?!" Sutton rushed to Happy, and pushed him, "Where is our daughter?!" Sutton knew something was wrong just by the look in his eyes.
"Sutton..." Kozik spoke up from behind her, but she didn't take her eyes off the man standing in front of her.
"Answer me." Sutton sneered, tears spilling over and falling down her cheeks.
Happy felt the burn in his throat looking at the fear in Sutton's eyes, and knew that he had failed the woman standing in front of him, "He...He took her." Happy spoke lowly, extremely upset that Sebastian had gotten the upper hand on Rat who had been watching him that afternoon, and then got to Happy when he was overly vulnerable.
"No..." Sutton shook her head, "He wouldn't." Sutton knew that the man was sick, but she never would of thought that he would kidnap her daughter. Sutton backed away from Happy, bumping into Opie and then Kozik, and side stepping them and rushing outside.
Her breathing was rapid, she felt like her world had fallen around her, and she couldn't even begin to think. She felt like she was going to pass out. Her ex-boyfriend had gotten into their home again, and took her daughter.
"Sutton..." Happy rasped out, trying to control his emotions, and she felt his large hand on her back.
"Don't touch me!" Sutton shouted, "Don't fucking touch me!" Sutton shook her head, "I have to find her." Sutton shook her head, her tears clouding her vision as she headed straight for her car, but was stopped by Kozik's strong arm wrapping around her waist.
Happy watched as Sutton fell to her knees sobbing with Kozik holding her up, and he felt his heart drop into his stomach. He couldn't believe that he had been caught off guard and knocked out by the man, and wasn't able to protect his daughter. The moment he realized that Penelope had been taken, he felt a whole new rage and hurt that he had never felt before, and he would do everything in his power to bring her back home.
"He hasn't gotten far Sutton, we'll get her back." Jax spoke to the dark haired woman.
"You do what you have to to get my daughter back Jax." Sutton spoke through tears pouring down her face.

Sutton felt like she was slowly being tortured, but in the worst possible way, ever. It had been almost eight hours since Penelope had been taken, and the Charming police had even been contacted to help find the little girl.
Their home was filled with Sons of Anarchy members, and even Wayne Unser while a few members were tracking down leads along with a few cops patrolling the streets.
Sitting at the large kitchen table with Gemma and Tara by her side, Sutton had been staring at her coffee, silently praying that Sebastian wouldn't harm her daughter.
"Sweetie, they will find her." Gemma's voice came through to her, but she couldn't form any sort of words to speak.
It didn't help matters that she and Happy had not spoken to each other since Sutton had arrived earlier that afternoon when she realized something was extremely wrong over the phone.
Finally having enough of holding the coffee cup, Sutton pushed her chair out and stood up from the table, and she knew that all eyes were on her as she made her way through the kitchen and disappeared down the hall to head upstairs with Gemma and Tara following a few short minutes later.

Happy's dark eyes were glued to Sutton as she disappeared up the stairs, most likely going to their daughters room, and hated the fact that he couldn't go after her. He had never hated himself more than he did that day. If he hadn't been injured, Sebastian wouldn't of stood a chance at taking Penelope, or even getting an upper hand on him. He was even furious with Rat, who was at the club being ordered around by Piney for the mistake of falling asleep on his steak out.
"Anything?" Happy rasped out lowly, as he stood up with the help of his crutches.
"Juice is checking the road cameras. Thinks he switched cars or something, there's no jeep that's been spotted anywhere." Bobby explained, "We'll find her brother."
Happy gave a nod and headed out to the front porch to smoke a cigarette, hating the fact that he couldn't even ride or drive to find the son of a bitch who took his daughter.
-SOA-
Sutton had found a small amount of peace being in Penelope's room, since the room smelled of her little girl, but at the same time, it made her heart ache. She was thankful that Tara and Gemma were sticking by her side, but wasn't forcing her to speak, or make small talk.
As Sutton clung to her daughter's favorite blanket, she was startled by her cell phone ringing in the pocket of her caridigan sweater, causing her to furrow her eyebrows. She had decided to let it ring through to voicemail, assuming that it was her parents wanting to facetime their grand-daughter, but pulled the cell phone out of her pocket when it started ringing again.
Seeing the unknown number pop up, Sutton looked to Tara and Gemma, "It's him..." Sutton whispered, and watched as Gemma was getting ready to call for the men, "Wait." Sutton ordered the Queen, getting narrowed eyes on her in return, "Just wait."
Taking a shaky breath, Sutton answered the phone, "H..Hello?" Sutton spoke quietly, with her eyes closed tightly so she wouldn't break down.
"Do you remember when we talked about having kids?" Sebastian's voice came through the speaker, causing a chill to go down Sutton's spine, "She's a spitting image of you baby..."
"Sebastian, where are you?" Sutton questioned, trying to remain calm as her heart beat quickened.
"What does he have that I don't have?" Sebastian questioned, "He is no good for you Sutton, he's no good for this little girl." Sebastian added, "We can still be a family Sutton, just come to me, and we can leave this town and start over somewhere new. Just you, me, and our baby girl."
Tara instantly shook her head no, while Gemma was eyeing Sutton, silently letting her know that she was proud of the way she was handling the phone call. But it didn't stop the tears from falling down the brunette's cheeks, and knew that she had to think of something so Penelope wouldn't get hurt.
"Y..You're right. He is no good for me." Sutton spoke lowly, taking a moment to clear her voice, "I miss you Sebastian, and I miss us. Tell me where you are so we can be together. As a family. I don't want to live in this town anymore, I want out." Sutton held her breath, hoping that the man on the other end of the phone believed her.
"If I tell you were we are, I don't want any games Sutton. I won't let any of us walk out alive..." Sebastian warned, and Sutton knew that he was being serious.
"You have my word Sebastian." Sutton stated truthfully.
Sutton listened as Sebastian gave her a riddle to figure out from when they were together, and had talked about traveling to different places around the United States, and wasn't surprised to figure out that the town was just about an hour drive from Charming.
"I will be there as soon as I can." Sutton spoke lowly, and heard Sebastian say that he loved her, "I love you too..." Sutton cringed at the words, and hung up the phone to see Gemma and Tara staring at her.
"You can't be serious Sutton. He will kill you." Tara shook her head.
"He won't have a chance." Gemma stated, moving to get into her purse that she had laid near the door and pulled out a hand gun, and a small switch blade, "He is so jaded by her, he doesn't realize what kind of people she is around now." Gemma added.
"Happy will never go for this." Tara commented as Sutton stood up from the chair.
"That's why you aren't telling him." Sutton stated as she walked out of the room and into her bedroom to get changed into something she could move in, especially if she had to run.
Gemma and Tara watched as Sutton changed out of her jeans and into a pair of jean shorts, and put on her running shoes, "Give me a half hour head start, then tell them." Sutton explained tucking the switch blade into the pocket of her shorts.
"Take my car, they will see you start yours up." Gemma stated, digging out her keys and tossing them to her.
"You can't be serious! She will get herself killed." Tara protested as Sutton switched her caridigan for a black zip up hoodie.
Sutton glared to the fellow doctor, "I will do whatever it takes to bring my daughter back home." Sutton snapped and quickly left the bedroom.

Happy had noticed that Tara and Gemma had came back downstairs a short while later, but Sutton hadn't returned, causing him to raise an eyebrow. He had gotten up from the chair he was sitting in and headed to the kitchen for a bottle of water, when he noticed Tara and Gemma arguing quietly, and stopping when he entered the kitchen.
"What?" Happy questioned with annoyance, and noticed the look Gemma had shot to Tara, "Where is Sutton?" Happy's dark orbs narrowed at the two women.
Tara instantly caved, "She went to meet Sebastian."
"Bitch..." Gemma grumbled.
"She what?!" Happy slammed the water bottle down, "Where the fuck is she?!" Happy shouted.
Gemma quickly explained that Sebastian had called her, wanting her to leave with him and Penelope, and she had agreed to meet him about an hour away, and tried to explain that she had given Sutton her gun and knife so she was armed, but he had heard enough.
There were no amount of words that could describe how pissed Happy was that Sutton had ran off to meet the man without telling him, and quickly relayed the message to the club members to think of a plan so Sutton didn't get herself killed.
"If he knows you guys are coming, he will kill her and Penelope." Gemma spoke up, "Don't give me that look, I would do the exact same thing if it were my child." Gemma snapped to Happy.
"We take the van." Clay ordered, rubbing a hand down his face, "We wait to see if Sutton can get Penelope out of harms way, then we go in." Clay explained with everyone but Happy agreeing, which started an arguement.
"We can discuss this in the van fellas, don't want Sutton with this sick fuck longer than she needs to be." Tig stated, causing everyone to head for the front door.
Once Happy was in the van, he had pulled out his cell phone in order to get ahold of Sutton and growled when it went to voicemail, but he ended the call and tried again, and breathed out when she answered.
"I have to do this." Sutton answered, "She is our daughter, and I will do whatever it takes to get her back."
"I'm not going to stop you..." Happy spoke lowly, "But I swear to God Sutton, you be fucking careful. You get our girl and you get the fuck out of there." Happy added, he could tell that she was extremely nervous, but knew that she could keep it together long enough to get their daughter out of harms way.
"How far behind are you?" Sutton questioned.
"About ten minutes." Happy explained, "When you get there, you get P and you get out and we will go in to handle the rest."
"Give me ten minutes once I get there." Sutton breathed out, "Hap..."
"I know girl, I know." Happy breathed out, "I love you."
"I love you too..." Sutton ended the phone call and focused on driving, knowing that the next hour was going to be filled with some intense nerves settling into her stomach.

Sutton wasn't surprised that Sebastian had her pull over when she had gotten a few blocks away from the log cabin he was at, so he could FaceTime her, to make sure that she was in fact alone and had no one following her. She had turned on the over head light to show the entire car, and she had even gotten out of the car to prove that no one was behind her or in front of her on the road.
Once he had believed her, he ended the FaceTime call, and she had quickly called Happy to tell him to not follow her into the drive.
"We know what we're doing Sutton." Happy stated, "You focus on getting you and P out of there."
"Hap..." Sutton spoke with a shaky breath.
"I promise you, we are not even two hundred yards behind you." Happy stated, "We have the headlights off."
Sutton wiped her cheeks quickly, "If anything happens..."
"Nothing is going to happen. There is nine of us, one of him."
Sutton breathed out, "Okay, I'm about there. Give me ten minutes."
"Be careful..."
-SOA-
Pulling up to the log cabin, Sutton was thankful she had put the gun in her purse under the seat and had decided to use the knife instead to not scare Penelope, if she needed to defend herself.
Looking at the cabin, it looked oddly familiar but she couldn't place it right away, and then she realized that they had thought about taking a vacation to the town, and had looked through different cabins near a lake. Parking the car, Sutton wiped her hands on her jeans and unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the large SUV, and looked around the dark woods.
Seeing a shadow in the window, Sutton found herself walking towards the porch, only for the front door to be cracked open, and Sebestian stepped out.
"Sutton..."
Sutton felt a shiver down her spine, as the dark haired man approached her as he glanced around the large area, and quickly closed the distance and wrapped his arms around her.
Happy watched as Sutton was pulled into a hug, and then watched as the man cupped the curve of Sutton's neck, and crashed his lips to hers for what seemed like forever, and then lead her into the home.
