A/N: Thank you for the reviews on the last chapter, it was truly appreciated. As always I do not own any of the SOA characters that will appear through out this story. And I will be adding and mixing storylines so some things may look familiar and others not so much.
*Also, I will be taking a couple of days to get a few chapters typed out, so it will be Monday before I update again, so just a friendly heads up.
Chapter 46 - Perfect Guy
It had been a couple of days since Sutton's parents had went back to Colorado, and it didn't help that Happy had gotten pulled back into club business, which she had decided to finally ask what was going on to where he was getting pulled away all hours of the day and night.
When he had told her that they were working with a drug cartel, Sutton was sure that she was going to have extreme pre-mature labor. She then had busted out in tears thinking that something was going to happen to the man she loved because of movies she had seen through out her life, and she knew that it didn't help that her hormones were all over the place.
Since she knew that it was going to be a late night for Happy, Sutton had tried to sleep but started to miss the tattooed man laying next to her, so she decided to check on Penelope and then headed downstairs to lay on the couch to wait for the man to arrive home, wanting to make sure he was in one piece.
Once she had covered her sweatpant covered legs with a blanket, she noticed Vito was laying his head on her feet as she scanned the large TV for a movie to watch, while she scanned through photos on her Iphone in order to figure out which pictures she wanted printed.
Settling on an old horror movie, Sutton glanced to the baby monitor video to see Penelope sound asleep, then focused back on the TV.
Half way through the movie when the typical blonde was running throught the old house as she was getting chased by the killer, Sutton nearly had a heart attack when she noticed Happy leaning against the door frame of the living room.
"Jesus Christ Hap!" Sutton scolded with a hand on her heart, "Make some fuckin' noise why don't you."
"Sorry baby." Happy rasped out closing the distance from the door way to the couch.
"How long have you been standing there creeping?" Sutton questioned moving over on the couch to allow the man to sit down next to her.
"Few minutes." Happy kissed her head, "What are you doing up so late?" Happy questioned with a small frown.
"Couldn't sleep." Sutton shrugged her shoulders, "Kind of got use to having you home at night."
Happy let out a small sigh, "I know Sutton." Happy ran a hand over his face, already extremely frustrated with the fact that he had missed putting Penelope to bed yet again, and then having to deal with cartel stuff on top of it, "I can't control it."
"You could get a normal job." Sutton mumbled causing Happy to narrow his eyes.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Happy questioned with an attitude.
Sutton frowned for a moment, "It means that if you had a normal job, you could actually be home with me and your daughter." Sutton decided that she was instantly pissed with the man, and pushed herself off of the couch, "It would just be nice to be in a normal relationship with you once in a while, but whatever."
Happy shook his head as he watched Sutton grab her cell phone and baby monitor from the coffee table and then stormed out of the living room and up the stairs with Vito hot on her heels.
The Tacoma killer had decided to head to the kitchen a few minutes later after turning off the TV, and heated up his dinner that Sutton had left for him. He knew that the woman had become extremely emotional, and since she was pregnant he would let it slide some, but she was failing to realize that the time away from her and Penelope was getting to him just as much as it was them, but there wasn't anything he could do about it. It wasn't like he could wear a suit and work in some cubicle for eight hours a day and be miserable. It just wasn't him.
Once he had scarfed down the food, he washed his dishes and put them away, and then made sure that the back door was locked before heading to the front of the house, making sure the front door was locked before heading upstairs.
The tall man had quietly made his way into Penelope's room to check on the sleeping girl, and smiled at his daughter, realizing that she slept just like Sutton, practically curled into a ball, and then would stretch out for a little bit. Not wanting to take a chance to wake the little girl, he quietly made his way out of the room and into the large bedroom to see Sutton laying in bed with her back facing Happy's side of the bed as she was playing on her phone.
"Babe.." Happy rasped out, moving to his side of the bed to put his gun and knife in the drawer, and then shrugged his kutte off and tossed it in the chair across the room, then took his cell phone and wallet out and sat them on the night stand.
"What?" Sutton mumbled, not bothering to look at the man.
"What's got you so upset?" Happy questioned, "This just about me being busy or me being in the club?" Happy asked as he kicked off his boots and then sat on the bed and put a large hand on her hip, pulling on her some so she could lay on her back.
"Bit of both I guess." Sutton started out, seeing that Happy was silently telling her to continue, "I guess it's just the hormones bringing it out more." Sutton added, "I mean, you're hardly home so your time is either spent at the club house where half naked women are throwing themselves at you, or your at this warehouse that's filled with drugs."
"What are you getting at babe?" Happy questioned, knowing that Sutton was hinting around something that was bugging her.
Letting out a frustrated sigh Sutton chewed on her bottom lip for a moment, "I'm pregnant Hap, and I'm going to get the size of a house at the rate this baby is growing, so I guess I'm a little insecure that you'll go to one of those whores since your hardly home." Sutton admitted, causing Happy to narrow his eyes quickly as Sutton looked away from him.
"Look at me." Happy growled, "Sutton, look at me." Happy reached for her chin, and gently turned her head to face him, "There is no way in hell that I would ever cheat on you." Happy stated with honesty, "And you're pregnant with our son baby, and you're fucking sexy as hell." Happy added, leaning to kiss her, "You've been sexy as hell the moment I saw you in that damn grocery store."
"I'm being a little crazy, aren't I?" Sutton questioned with a frown.
"Not at all." Happy chuckled, "Okay, maybe a little. Because there's no way in hell that I would risk losing you for some other woman who couldn't even hold a candle to you."
"I love you." Sutton smiled softly, a little embarassed by her confession.
"I love you too." Happy leaned to kiss her forehead, "I will try to see about cutting back some, at least get home at a decent hour, can't promise anything though." Happy added.
Sutton gave a nod, "Just want you to be safe is all. Shouldn't of known about the cartel shit, makes it a little hard for me to keep my cool, especially with your son driving me crazy." Sutton joked.
"Let me get cleaned up some and then let's cuddle." Happy stated, and Sutton nodded her head, and allowed the man to disappear into the bathroom for a few moments.
Once the shirtless man returned, he crawled into the large bed and allowed the brunette to cuddle against him as he wrapped an arm around her and decided to find something on TV to watch until they had fallen asleep.
-SOA-
The next morning, Happy and Sutton were woken up by his phone buzzing on the night stand, causing the pregnant woman to growl with frustration for a few moments, but then felt Happy cuddle against her after he answered the call.
"Tig is handling it today." Happy rasped out, "Got me to yourself today." He added, causing Sutton to turn to face him and sink into his chest, just trying to enjoy the moment with him, since he would usually be gone by the time she woke up.
"Good, let's go back to sleep." Sutton yawned, closing her eyes and quickly falling back asleep as Happy's breathing evened out.
When Sutton woke back up, it was to the sounds of her daughters babbling from her crib, and decided to let the tattooed man sleep in since he hadn't gotten much sleep over the past few days, and gently unlocked his arms that were around her, allowing her to get out of the room to get Penelope.
Heading downstairs and into the kitchen to make Penelope a cup of milk in hopes of getting the little girl back to sleep for a little bit, she decided to lay on the couch with the little girl and turned on the TV but muted it after seeing the little girls sleepy eyes.
Sutton jolted awake hearing someone pounding on the front door, causing Penelope to cry out, now wide awake, causing Sutton to get extremely grumpy quickly, due to the fact that their sleep was disturbed.
"It's okay baby..." Sutton cooed to the little girl, clinging to her as she got up off the couch and heard Vito's barks from upstairs, and knew that Happy was going to be furious once he growled to the dog to shut up.
Sutton made her way to the front door and looked out the window to see Tara on the otherside, causing her to raise an eyebrow, but unlocked the door.
"Sorry..." Tara frowned seeing Penelope upset, "I just..I didn't know where else to go."
"What happened?" Sutton questioned, allowing Tara into the house, and wasn't surprised to see a very grumpy Happy standing at the top of the stairs in a pair of sweatpants, "Go into the living room, let me get P to Hap." Sutton stated, thankful the doctor disappeared into the living room.
Sutton walked half way up the stairs with Happy meeting her half way, "Sorry baby, try to go back to sleep. She'll settle down once she's laying with you." Sutton stated, not surprised the tattooed man just gave her a nod before heading up the stairs with their daughter.
Letting out a sigh, and pushing her hair into a pony tail, Sutton made her way back into the living room and sat next to Tara, "What's going on T?" Sutton questioned, seeing the brunette rather upset.
"Can I tell you this without you saying anything to anyone? Not even Happy." Tara questioned, causing Sutton to raise an eyebrow but nod her head.
"When the guys went to Belfast to get Abel back, there was a woman who was with Jax's father, and she ended up putting letters from him to her in his backpack." Tara started to explain, "I ended up finding them one day when I was doing laundry, and I think...I think Clay killed his father." Tara stated, causing Sutton's jaw to drop, "A few weeks ago, Gemma started asking me about them and I said that I got rid of them, found out she was snooping through my office at work, and Clay found out and he threatened me." Tara explained further, "Is there a way that I can give them to you and you hide them somewhere so if something were to ever happen to me you can give them to Jax so he knows the truth?" Tara questioned.
"Jesus Christ Tara." Sutton shook her head, "You need to tell Jax." Sutton added, "At least let me tell Hap, he can talk to Jax."
"No. You can't. Not yet." Tara protested, "Jax is talking about leaving the club for good, but Gemma is trying to prevent that from happening, and I don't think Clay will let it happen either."
"Tara, you can always count on me, but seriously, you need to tell Jax about what you think Clay did. He can't go around threatening you and think that he can get away with it."
"I know...I know." Tara sighed, "I just...I need to just have someone I can trust know about this, just in case something happens to me, so Jax can know what happened." Tara added.
"Of course Tara. You can always talk to me. If you ever need to get away, you and the boys are more than welcome here, or if you don't feel safe, my parents have a lodge in Colorado." Sutton explained.
"Thank you Sutton." Tara hugged the woman, "I'm sorry I came over so early, I have to work soon."
"Don't worry about it. If you think that you aren't safe, we'll figure out something, okay? I'll drive you to Colorado with the boys myself if I have to." Sutton stated, "Never trusted Gemma or Clay from the moment I met them." Sutton added.
"Just, be careful around them Sutton." Tara warned, "I wouldn't put it past them to tamper with your relationship because you aren't gun-ho for the club."
Sutton gave a nod in understanding, not liking the information she was given one bit as Tara stood up and congratulated her on her pregnancy as she walked Tara to the front door, with her mind reeling, trying to figure out just how safe the club members actually were.
"Like I said, you ever need to get away, you and the boys are more than welcome here." Sutton hugged her friend.
"Thank you, and I'm sorry I haven't been around much lately. All this stuff is just crazy, and I didn't want you getting mixed up in it."
"I understand." Sutton gave the woman a soft smile, now realizing why Tara had been so distance the fast few weeks.
Sutton watched as Tara walked quickly to her car, and then shut the door once the doctor pulled out of the driveway, and realized that the club wasn't as loyal as they seemed. Locking the door, Sutton decided to head upstairs in hopes of calming her worrying mind. Knowing that if something happened to Penelope, Happy or their relationship during all of this, or if something happened to her friend, she would without a doubt bring down the entire club without hesitation.
