A/N: As always, I appreciate all of the reviews and I appreciate everyone taking the time to read this story. It means a lot to me. I have a lot of ideas for this story still, including club stuff, but first, I want to focus on Sutton and Happy mending their relationship. So hang tight.
Chapter 57 - Perfect Guy
Happy had been having trouble adjusting to being in the loft above the garage instead of the actual home he shared with Sutton and their daughter. Granted, it was a hell of a lot better than being at the club house, or crashing with Tig, so he kept reminding himself of that.
Hearing several car doors shut, Happy furrowed his eyebrows as he was trying to read a book, but decided to get up from the futton and scope out what the noise was.
Walking down the stairs to the garage, he looked out the window of the door to see an odd car in the drive way, and then a large van parked behind it with ladders on top, and he instantly recongized Sutton's parents, and decided to step outside.
He wasn't surprised that Sutton's mother practically glared at him from a hundred yards away, and noticed her father do the same thing, but then gave him a small nod in greeting. Happy knew that Sutton's parents were aware of what he had done, and knew that they weren't too happy with him, but he also figured it was not really their business.
The tattooed man approached Rocky, and then glanced towards the front porch to see Sutton walking out to meet her mother while Penelope tagged along, "Ma, what is this?" Sutton questioned, gesturing her head to the van as two men stepped out.
"I hired painters for you to get the nursery done."
Happy's dark eyes narrowed quickly, and Rocky noticed, "Tried to stop her, didn't work out too well." Rocky commented lowly.
Happy was officially pissed off.
Sutton knew it too.
"Mom, Happy is capable of painting our son's room." Sutton stated, and moved passed her mother towards the men, "Sorry for the confusion, but I have the nursery handled, thank you though." Sutton tried to explain.
"Don't be ridiculous honey, you are almost seven months pregnant! He isn't going to get it done, hell he walked out on you and your daughter." Anne commented, causing Sutton to glare to her mother.
"Enough." Happy stepped up, standing next to Sutton and bent down to lift Penelope up who was reaching for him, "I will handle OUR son's nursery. You can be pissed at me all you want, but don't you dare speak to Sutton like that in front of our daughter." Happy warned, and felt Sutton's small hand on his chest telling him to relax a little bit, because she knew he was furious.
"They are right Anne." Rocky commented, "This is their child, their nursery, their choice." Rocky added, "We didn't come here to take over, we came here to spend time with our family, and that's what I am going to do, if you don't want to, then go back to the hotel."
Sutton's jaw nearly dropped at her father's words, and almost laughed seeing her mother's mouth drop and her eyes narrow extremely quick, but she was able to hold it back, and then watched as her mother spoke lowly to the painters, and then headed for Rocky, "Keys please. I will be back." Anne commented, and Sutton knew her mother needed a minute to herself.
Happy, Rocky and Sutton watched as Anne got to the rental car, and then waited for the painters to back out of the drive, and then watched as she did.
"She's having a hard time with..." Rocky began to explain, feeling uncomfortable about the topic of their relationship.
"It's understandable." Happy rasped out and handed Penelope over to Sutton to allow them to walk inside, and once they were out of ear shot he glanced back to Rocky, "I screwed up royally and I'm trying to fix it."
"Another girl?" Rocky questioned with a growl.
"What? No." Happy shook his head, "I just got cold feet. She deserves better than me. The kids deserve better than me." Happy added causing Rocky to glance towards him.
"She know that?" Rocky asked.
Happy gave a nod, "She's hurt because I didn't talk to her about it. Kind of just flaked out, took it out on her and P when it was me getting inside my own head." Happy ran a hand down his face, "Surprised she hasn't tried strangling me yet."
Rocky let out a laugh, "Give it time. She's pregnant and emotional. She called Anne crying about the baby having no name and the nursery not being done. Think it might be in your favor to get it done sooner rather than later." Rocky suggested, "Got to realize, you missed Penelope's birth and half the pregnancy so she feels like that again, it's taking a toll on her. Especially having to take care of a one year old on top of that."
Happy thought his words over for a moment and realized that Rocky was actually helping him out with information, and he quickly realized that he knew what he needed to do.
"She would kill me if I told you this crap, but I know you two are great together." Rocky added, "Better get in there before she thinks I'm planning your murder or something."
Happy couldn't help the small laugh that escaped his mouth as he followed Sutton's father into the large house, and shut the door behind him, and spotted Penelope babbling to Rocky the moment he stepped foot into the living room.
The tatooed man headed into the kitchen to see Sutton making a cup of juice for the little girl, and took a moment to appreciate her curves since she was wearing black yoga capris and a black fitting tank top made from the same material with her face make-up free and her dark hair wrapped in a bun on the top of her head.
"You got a theme picked?" Happy questioned moving towards her, "For the nursery."
"Yeah. Chevron grey, white and navy for the paint." Sutton explained twisting the lid back on the cup, and tensed when Happy pulled her into his arms and hugged her.
For a split moment, Sutton relaxed against the tall man as he buried his face into the bun of her hair, and she felt herself frowning, missing the smell of his cologne, and pulled away.
"I'll go to the paint store now, pick up the paint and paint the room this weekend." Happy stated, "Do you have the specific names you want?" Happy questioned, and watched as the brunette nodded her head and couldn't help the small smile that appeared on his face.
He watched the brunette write down the paint names from her cell phone, and then glanced to him, "I will be meeting Tara for lunch with the kids, so if you have any issues just call me and I'll swing by." Sutton explained, and noticed the look on Happy's face, "What?" She questioned.
"You are changing right?" Happy questioned, "As much as I love seeing your curves, I don't want Charming to see them." Happy stated in a small jealous tone.
Sutton rolled her eyes, "Hap, I'm pregnant and comfortable, I'm not changing to help your jealousy."
Happy let out a low growl because the truth was, her boobs were larger than when she was pregnant with Penelope, and he was having a hard time controlling himself and not touching her, but he caved for a moment and stepped towards her and captured her lips with hunger, and gently pressed her back against the counter to let her feel what she was doing to him. For a moment, he smiled to himself when Sutton opened her mouth for him and allowed his tongue to crash against hers, and heard a little moan escape from her.
Just as his large hands went from her sides to her butt, he felt her push his chest away and knew not to press his luck further and backed away at her request leaving her cheeks flushed causing him to smirk.
"Asshole..." Sutton grumbled as Happy walked out of the kitchen with a confident smile on his face.
A/N: Thoughts? Sort of a filler chapter.
So, anyone have any name suggestions for baby lowman?
