A/N: Thank you for all of the reviews on the last chapter. It means the world to me. I know that I said I would update over the weekend, but I have a busy weekend, getting things ready for my dad to come home. So, I figure might as well update now, and then in a week or so, I'll update again.
Chapter 56 - Perfect Guy
The moment Sutton saw Happy pull into the driveway with his truck filled with large boxes, she raised a curious eyebrow as he pulled further into the driveway, closer to the garage.
"You got to be kidding me..." Sutton muttered to herself, seeing Tig and Happy get out of the truck and head towards the bed to start unloading whatever it was, causing her to get Penelope and walk out the back door.
Making her way down the three porch steps carefully with Penelope hoisted on her hip, the moment her feet hit the ground she realized carrying her daughter was a little too hard at the moment with her large baby bump, and sat her daughter's feet on the ground and grabbed ahold of her hand softly and headed towards the two men.
"What is all of this?" Sutton questioned gesturing her head towards the truck as Happy and Tig were walking past her towards the garage.
"Figured you didn't want me taking shit out of the house, so I got some stuff." Happy explained causing Sutton to scoff lowly.
"Don't you think you should save your money? I mean we do have a daughter and a son on the way..." Sutton commented, following the men into the garage.
"Watch where you are stepping. Haven't swept." Happy added quickly seeing the pregnant woman barefoot, and then saw her pick up Penelope since she didn't have shoes on either.
Sutton looked around the garage, which had a stair case off to the right side that led up to a small loft area that had a half wall and she had to admit that she was impressed with how large it was.
"Dadda!" Penelope reached for the tattooed man as he came back down the stairs, and Sutton allowed him to take the little girl from her, and let out a small yawn, causing Happy to raise an eyebrow.
"You been sleeping?" Happy questioned, since he wasn't sure since he had been crashing on the couch instead of in bed with her.
"I'm fine." Sutton commented.
"Give me a half hour to unload this stuff and I'll watch P while you nap." Happy stated, "I can see your exhausted." Happy added, trying to refrain from leaning to kiss her forehead, but watched her nod slowly.
"Come on baby, let's let them finish." Sutton reached for the little girl who refused to go to her now that she was in Happy's arms, causing the brunette to sigh a little.
"It's fine, go back to the house and sleep. I'll wait to unload this."
"It's suppose to rain." Sutton pointed out.
Happy gave a nod in understanding, "I can just pull the truck into the garage. Go take a nap." Happy gestured his head towards the house causing Sutton to cave in.

Sutton had managed to take a bath since Penelope had been with Happy, and knew that he would allow her to get a couple of hours sleep, which she desperately needed.
Once she had dried off and wrapped a towel around her, and then her hair, she headed to the bathroom counter in order to put on lotion, and brush her teeth.
As much as she loved Penelope, and as much as she enjoyed the little ball of energy that she was, she needed a short break. Especially since Happy had left, she was left picking up the pieces of meltdowns from Penelope, and from herself, and she was just plain exhausted.
Walking into the large bedroom, she headed for the dresser and heard the sound of thunder approaching, and knew that she was going to sleep well as she put on a pair of panties, and then grabbed a loose fitting over-sized tank top, and then grabbed a black pair of yoga shorts and wiggled them on.
Hearing a knock at the door, Sutton sighed, as she tossed the towel into the laundry basket and turned to see Happy standing at the door, "What?" Sutton questioned.
"I'm going to be downstairs, got to baby proof the place..." Happy commented, and Sutton gave him a nod in understanding, "You doing okay? You look exhausted Sutton."
"I haven't slept the greatest." Sutton explained as she moved towards the large bed, and pulled back the covers, "Starting to get more tired this far along." Sutton added.
Happy watched as she crawled into the large bed, and he wanted to do nothing but crawl in with her, but he wasn't going to press his luck. He could tell that she was running on fumes, and he decided to let her sleep for the rest of the night, and wouldn't wake her.
"Get some rest. If you need anything, just holler." Happy rasped out, watching the brunette rest her head on the pillow and closed her eyes, not surprised she didn't reply.
Once she had gotten comfortable in the bed, Happy had decided to look at her in silence for a few moments, and knew that he had to do everything in his power to fix what he had broken, and win her back. As he pulled the bedroom door almost all the way closed, he decided to head downstairs to think of how to get her to forgive him.

Happy had managed to make him and Penelope dinner, and decided to save some for Sutton in case she woke up, and had to admit that he was surprised she wasn't awake due to the storm outside.
"Mama.." Penelope babbled, looking around the large kitchen.
"Mama's sleeping baby." Happy explained to his daughter who continued to babble as he was feeding himself and allowing Penelope to feed herself some, "Penelope, stop feeding Vito." Happy stated seeing her little hand drop to the side and Vito jump up to lick her hand.
Scrunching his face, he quickly grabbed some baby wipes on the counter to wipe her hand off, "No more or I'll feed you." Happy warned, causing her bottom lip to quiver slightly.
"You think you're cute, don't you?" Happy laughed seeing his daughter pull a look Sutton has given him a dozen of times, and knew that they both had him wrapped around their fingers.
Once Penelope was finished eating, Happy had cleaned up their mess and decided to go ahead and give her a quick bath and get her changed into her pajamas since she didn't have a nap that day and was getting a little cranky.
"Where did mama put your pajamas?" Happy questioned to the little girl lowly in her bedroom after looking through all the drawers and came up empty handed, and then checked the closet, and furrowed his eyebrows. He definitely didn't want to wake Sutton to ask, but he couldn't allow the little girl to not have pajamas since it was a little cool in the house, and let out a small sigh and headed towards the master bedroom to the pitch black room.
Slowly walking across the bedroom floor, Happy put a hand on Sutton's hip, "Baby, where's P's pajamas?" Happy questioned lowly, and felt her stir a little.
"Hm?"
"Pajamas. The dresser in P's room is empty. Where are they?" Happy questioned as Penelope began to babble.
"Laundry." Sutton mumbled trying to wake up, "What time is it?" Sutton questioned rolling onto her back and rubbing at her eyes and then reached for the lamp to turn on.
"It's going on 7:30."
"Shit, did she eat? I didn't mean to sleep that long." Sutton went into panic mode, but Happy stopped her.
"She's fed and bathed." Happy explained, "You hungry? I can bring you some food." Happy offered.
"I can get it." Sutton let out a small yawn, and brushed some of her hair out of her face.
"Just stay here, I'll be back. Hold onto her for a minute." Happy put Penelope on the bed since she was reaching for Sutton, and instantly cuddled up to her mother, allowing him to disappear downstairs for a few minutes.
Once Happy had put Sutton's plate in the microwave, he went into the laundry room to grab Penelope's pajamas and then headed back into the kitchen to grab a bottle of water, and to make Penelope a bottle of Milk, and then got the plate out of the microwave once it was done and headed back upstairs with fork in tow.
Walking into the bedroom he saw Sutton leaning her back against the head board while Penelope was babbling to her, and he could tell the brunette was still tired as he handed her the plate, water and fork, "Thank you." Sutton commented taking a drink of the water.
Happy reached for the little girl to put on her pajamas, and managed to get them on Penelope pretty easily, "Say good night to mama." Happy suggested, allowing the little girl to give her mother a sloppy kiss.
"I love you baby." Sutton smiled to the little girl and smiled even brighter when she tried to say it back.
"Just leave the plate on the table, I'll come back to get it in a bit." Happy stated, hoisting the little girl up on his hip, and headed out of the room to Penelope's nursery.
The tattooed man knew that he had a lot of work to do in order for Sutton to forgive him, and he wasn't going to stop until he was back in their home where he belonged. He knew that he had to be patient in the process, but he was having a tough time not being able to be in the large bed with her.
"Daddy's gonna fix this." Happy rasped to the little girl he was rocking while she drank her milk, "Gonna make it right kid."
