A/N: Thank you everyone for the reviews on the last chapter. Truly appreciate it! As always, I do not own any of the SOA characters that will appear through out this story. Also, Happy Easter for those who celebrate. And, since my uploading has been in the afternoon, I am going ahead and posting this, and then waiting a day or so to get it back to morning updates. Thanks again!
Chapter 41 - Perfect Guy
The next morning when Happy woke up, he was slightly surprised that Sutton was still sound asleep next to him, with Penelope practically laying on her mother, causing the tattooed man to let out a little laugh. Turning to his side to face the two brunettes, Happy's dark eyes scanned Sutton to see if there was a difference in her appearence.
"Stop staring..." Sutton mumbled, causing Happy to almost jump, and watched as she rolled to face him, with Penelope between them.
Seeing the smirk spreading across her face, Happy playfully glared at the woman, "How did you sleep?" Happy questioned quietly, making sure to not disturb their daughter.
"Pretty good. Was really tired." Sutton explained, "Went running, then the store, ended up going to the park for a little bit and then got some movies." Sutton added, noticing that Happy's dark eyes were glued to her, causing her to raise an eyebrow, "What?"
Happy stretched a little, then let out a yawn, "Anything you want to tell me?" Happy questioned, his eyes searching her face for any sort of sign on the results of the pregnancy test.
"Like what?" Sutton questioned, knowing what he was referring to, but decided to make him squirm, "Oh, I did get some of P's birthday planned." Sutton added, silently chuckling when she saw his eyes narrow.
"Oh yeah? How much that set us back?" Happy questioned.
"Not too much. Found a few deals on decorations and stuff." Sutton explained, feeling the little girl start to squirm a little, and knew that she was going to wake up soon.
"Sutton..." Happy warned, knowing what the brunette was doing.
Sutton laughed a little lightly, "I haven't been feeling the best, have a few symptoms, but I took the test and it was screwed up, so I have to go get another one." Sutton explained, and Happy frowned.
He didn't even realize that Sutton hadn't been feeling well, and knew that it was because he had been so busy with club business, "What do you mean symptoms? Why didn't you say anything?" Happy questioned.
"Didn't want you stressing out since you've been so busy, I guess." Sutton shrugged, sitting up and leaning her back against the headboard, "And I just haven't felt the best. I've been getting sick off and on in the mornings, sometimes after I eat. Just wanted to take a test to be sure."
"It doesn't matter how busy I am with the club babe, you can tell me this shit." Happy stated, "How you feeling this morning?" Happy questioned.
"I'm okay. I'm still kind of tired, but I'll be fine once I get up." Sutton stated, and watched as Happy got out from under the blanket, and sat on the edge of the bed, "What are you doing?" Sutton questioned.
"Gonna go get our girl a bottle, then go to the store and get you a test, then take the day off and spend it with you two." Happy stated, causing Sutton to furrow her eyebrows, but decided to remain silent as Happy made his way off the bed and headed towards the bathroom.
She had to admit that she wasn't really getting her hopes up on Happy staying home for the day, since he had been so busy with the sons for the past several weeks. He had tried a few times over the course of a month or two to take a day off, but Clay wasn't having it, or Jax would tell him that he was needed, but tried to promise that it wouldn't be a long night, but it never worked out that way.
When she had started feeling bad, she knew that there was a chance that she could be pregnant, because of the symptoms, but she personally didn't think it was the right time since everything was chaotic. It didn't help that Happy had missed so much time with Penelope when he was locked up, she didn't want to have her daughter feel neglected in any way, espcecially with a new baby involved. If she were pregnant, she knew that she would be happy about it, but she was definately scared since she had to go through her first one alone for the most part.
Hearing the man's heavy foot steps, Sutton looked up from their daughter to see Happy walking out of the bathroom fully dressed, "I'll go get the cup, then head out real quick. Need anything?" Happy questioned, and watched Sutton shake her head no.

Once Happy had gotten back home from the store, he was silently nervous as he handed the pregnancy test over to Sutton and watched as she disappeared into the bathroom, allowing him to call Clay, and let him know that he couldn't make it in today.
He had been relieved to find out that he wasn't needed for the next couple of days, since he had a few guys from Tacoma coming down, and knew that he definitely needed a break.
"Babe?" Happy knocked on the bathroom door lightly, then checked the door handle to see that it was unlocked, and heard a faint 'come in', causing him to open the door, and step into the bathroom, not surprised that Penelope was playing in the bath tub.
"What's the verdict?" Happy questioned, glancing to Penelope to see her splashing around in the water.
"Gotta wait three minutes." Sutton laid the test down on the counter and headed to the bath tub and sat down on the floor, "You okay with this? I mean, if I am?" Sutton questioned.
"Yeah, of course." Happy didn't hesitate, "What about you?"
"Yeah. Kind of bad timing, but that seems to be our trend." Sutton joked with a little laugh.
"Bad timing?" Happy questioned, leaning against the counter near the sink, watching the brunette.
"I don't mean it in a bad way." Sutton started out, "I just mean because you're so busy with the club right now, and I guess, I'm kind of scared because of you getting sent away last time." Sutton confessed.
"Babe, I'm not getting sent away again." Happy stated, "This is a long ass three minutes." Happy sighed, causing Sutton to laugh a little.
"Tell me about it." Sutton stated, as she washed the little girl, and made sure that her dark brown hair was washed, "Daddy's impatient baby."
"Dada! Dada!" Penelope cheered, splashing in the water.
"Babe, can you hand me a towel?" Sutton questioned over her shower, pulling the drain out of the tub, and held out her hands for Penelope to take ahold of them, then helped the little girl stand up.
"Here, I'll get her." Happy stated, bending down to wrap the towel around the little girl, then lifted her out of the tub, and wrapped his arms around her, "Go look at that damn thing. See if it says anything." Happy stated as he pressed his lips to Penelope's forehead, smelling the baby shampoo.
Happy's dark eyes stayed on Sutton as she got up from the floor and pushed her hair back out of her face as she walked to the counter where the test was, knowing that she was just as nervous as he was. His eyes were glued to her soft flawless face, getting slightly annoyed that she wasn't giving anything away as she looked at the test.
"Mama's killin' me..." Happy stated to Penelope, and decided to walk over with their daughter in his arms to look at the test himself, and he grew silent for a moment before a large grin broke out on his face at the word, 'pregnant'.
Sutton quickly wiped her cheeks, causing a brief worry to ripple through Happy, but he had relaxed once he had saw her bright smile, "We're having a baby..." Sutton smiled, using her tip toes to reach up and kiss Happy.
"I love you." Happy rasped out, as their daughter buried her face into his chest for a moment.
"I love you too." Sutton smiled.

Later that afternoon, once they had calmed down slightly over the excitement of expecting their second child, Sutton had showered, and then Happy, and then found themselves laying on the couch together with Penelope napping on Happy's chest, while Vito was laying at Sutton's feet.
"I think we should wait to say anything to my parents." Sutton explained, "I want to get an appointment, find out everything is okay, and wait until I'm out of the first trimester."
"Whatever you want to do baby." Happy spoke lowly, as Sutton's head was laying on his shoulder, with a tattooed arm wrapped arond her back, holding her close, "Start thinking about what you want for dinner, I can go get something or use the grill."
Sutton gave a nod, "Probably have you grill. Haven't used it since we bought it." Sutton chuckled, narrowing her eyes at the sound of a motorcycle pulling into the driveway, causing Happy to let out a sigh when he heard another bike pull in a few seconds later.
"I'll take her." Sutton spoke with an annoyed voice, causing Happy to frown, but moved the little girl off his chest, and onto Sutton's in order to answer the door.
Happy removed himself from the couch and headed across the living room and into the foyer to the front door and saw Tig and Jax approaching, causing him to let out a frustrated sigh seeing the Vice President, and decided to step outside.
"What's up?" Happy questioned, causing Tig to furrow his eyebrows, "P is sleep, Sutton doesn't feel the greatest." Happy explained.
"Hate to do this man, but we need you and Tig to go on a run." Jax stated.
"Can't you have someone else do it?" Happy questioned, running a hand over his face, knowing that he couldn't of asked at the worst possible time.
"Nah man, everyone is already busy at the warehouse." Jax stated, "If you want, I can talk to Sutton myself."
Happy shook his head, "I'll talk to her. When do we need to leave?" Happy questioned.
"Next hour." Tig commented, "We're taking the van."
Happy shook his head with frustration. He didn't want to leave his girlfriend and daughter after finding out about her being pregnant, and knew that she would be upset, and she had every right to be.
"Give me a few minutes. Gotta talk to Sutton." Happy stated, not bothering to wait on either man to answer, but headed back into the house and into the living room, and knew that the brunette was annoyed.
"Babe..." Happy sighed, moving to sit on the coffee table, seeing her eyes glance to him for a moment.
"What?"
"Have to go with Tig on a run." Happy stated, and he should of prepared himself for the murderous glare that she had given him, "I tried getting out of it, but I can't Sutton."
"Whatever Hap, just fucking go." Sutton scoffed, shaking her head, "So much for enjoying this time together huh?"
"Damnit babe..." Happy tried to think of how to fix this, but he wasn't sure what to even say or do, "I'm sorry." Happy wasn't surprised that the woman had rolled to her other side carefully, with her back facing him, as she held their daughter close.
Happy had decided to give the woman a moment, so he had headed upstairs to pack a bag for the run, and decided to just keep it simple as he headed back downstairs, and went back to the couch where Sutton was laying.
"Babe..." Happy bent down and kissed her temple, "I'm so fuckin' sorry."
"Just go." Sutton sniffled, turning her head further away from him.
"I love you." Happy whispered, feeling like shit as he kissed her head, and then his daughter's head, and headed out of the house, making sure to set the alarm system before leaving.
"You good brother?" Tig questioned quietly, and watched the Tacoma killer shake his head as he approached his bike, "What's going on?" Tig questioned, following the man to his bike with Jax eyeing them carefully.
"Found out this morning Sutton's pregnant. She's not feeling the best, and she's tired of being alone." Happy explained briefly, "Don't say shit though." Happy didn't bother waiting for his response as he started his bike, hoping that the run would be quick.
