A/N: Thank you for all of the reviews on the last chapter. I still have a lot in store for this story, so thanks for being so patient with the chapters.
Chapter 59 - Perfect Guy
"Mom, just please..." Sutton sighed but was cut off by her mother.
"Sutton, I understand that you don't want to have to deal with me not being nice. But, you need to understand that you are my daughter. I will always want what is best for you, and right now, I don't think that is him." Annie explained, "Not only did he walk out on you while you are pregnant but he walked out on my grand-daughter."
"I know mom." Sutton nodded her head in understanding, "Trust me, I know. I am still trying to deal with it myself, but right now, the best thing for our children is for him to be in the house. I don't want him missing out on the last few months this time around either." Sutton explained.
The brunette should have known that her mother would have a few choices words to say about Happy coming back into the house, but it frankly wasn't her choice on if the tattooed man came back in the home or not. So when Annie pulled her to the side while the guys were upstairs taping the nursery, she was slightly surprised.
"I just hope you know what you are doing." Annie commented quietly once they heard heavy footsteps coming towards the kitchen.
Happy and Rocky were walking into the kitchen, and the tattooed man immediately noticed the look in Sutton's eyes and glared towards Annie, knowing that she was the reason behind it.
"Everything okay?" Happy questioned lowly to Sutton and watched as she gave him a small nod, and he let out a hard breath, "Maybe you should try to lay down to take a nap." Happy suggested, knowing that she needed to get away from her mother for a little bit.
"I think she can make her own - " Annie started to snap, but Sutton cut her off.
"Enough! I love you mom, but if you can not keep your mouth shut then leave." Sutton growled, "I will not deal with the attitude your throwing out." Sutton added wiping her cheeks, and decided to storm out of the kitchen and headed upstairs.
Happy had to brace his large ringed hands on the counter with his head down for a moment while Rocky and Annie stood silent since Penelope was down for her nap, and he couldn't keep quiet anymore.
"Look, I know you don't like what I did, and I fucking regret it. But I swear to God, you need to back the fuck off for HER sake. You can take all the shots at me you want, but don't you dare open your mouth to her about it again." Happy sneered in straight killer mode, causing Annie's jaw to drop for a moment and then looked to Rocky for some sort of defense.
"He's right." Rocky stated simply, "She's heavily pregnant and all you are doing is adding more stress to her and she doesn't need it."
Happy almost raised his eyebrows in shock, but he noticed that Rocky and Annie seemed to be off ever since they arrived in California which wasn't like them. Usually they were extremely lovey dovey, and hardly ever fought, but now it seemed like they were biting each others heads off left and right.
"I'm going back to the hotel." Annie stated, grabbing her purse and heading straight out of the kitchen.
Happy glanced to Rocky, "Sorry my shit is causing you two to fight." Happy stated, grabbing the black trash bags he came to the kitchen for.
"We aren't fighting because of what happened." Rocky started but then stopped himself causing Happy to raise an eyebrow in questioning.
"If you need to talk, I'm here. Not much of a talker, but can listen." Happy explained as he grabbed a beer out of the fridge for the both of them, and then handed one bottle to Rocky.
The tall tattooed man watched as the older man ran a hand down his face, and then took a moment of a silence before speaking, "Annie told me that she wants to seperate." Rocky explained, "Something about wanting to take time to travel and since I can't because of the lodge. I think she is having some issues with her decision since you left Sutton for that little bit, and is taking it out on everyone else." Rocky added causing Happy's mouth to drop a little but he quickly lifted his beer to take a drink.
"Holy shit."
"Don't tell Sutton. I don't want her freaking out over her mother's mid-life crisis." Rocky explained, "I know I'm putting you in a tough spot, but I'll explain it to her before we leave." Rocky added and Happy sighed but nodded his head in agreement.
Happy and Rocky decided to head back upstairs, and the tattooed man poked his head into Penelope's room to see her sound asleep in her crib, and then headed towards the master bedroom to see Sutton laying in the large bed with the white sheets and white comforter and walked into the room.
"You doing okay?" Happy questioned lowly and glanced to the TV to see that she was watching Netflix.
"I guess." Sutton shrugged her shoulders, and turned the TV off, "I just...I don't get why she is being so hateful. It's not like her." Sutton added and watched as Happy moved to the side of the bed and sat down.
"Got to admit, I'd be the same way if someone did what I did to you to Penelope, or even our son." Happy stated, "I would probably kill them without thinking twice."
"But still..." Sutton sighed, pushing her hair out of her face, "It just sucks because I can't deal with her hating you."
"She doesn't hate me Sutton, she just is annoyed with me and is taking shots at me through you I guess." Happy shrugged, "Don't really know what to say besides that I'm sorry." Happy added with his large hand on her stomach feeling their son move around.
"I know Hap." Sutton yawned, "If P wakes up, and I don't hear her can you wake me?" Sutton questioned.
"Yeah, I got her." Happy rasped, "Let me know if you need anything. You look exhausted, try to get some sleep." Happy added, pulling the covers up on her as she rolled to her side.
"Thanks Hap."
By the time Happy and Rocky had painted three walls white, and then began to tape off the chevorn pattern that Sutton had wanted, Penelope decided to wake up from her nap, causing the men to stop painting for the time being.
"Care to give me a ride back to the hotel?" Rocky questioned, "Better go talk some sense into Annie before she makes this trip worse for Sutton." Rocky added quietly.
Happy gave a nod as he held Penelope on his hip, "Can you take her for a minute? Going to tell Sutton we're leaving for a minute." Happy added, and handed over the dark haired little girl.
The tattooed man moved out of Penelope's room with Rocky and Penelope heading downstairs while he went to the dark master bedroom and smiled to himself seeing the dark haired woman sound asleep, and moved close to the bed.
"Babe?" Happy brushed his hand up and down her arm a little and watched as she turned to face him.
"Hm?" Sutton hummed lightly.
"Gonna take P with me to drop off your dad at the hotel." Happy explained quietly, "Want me to pick up take-out while I'm out?" Happy questioned.
"What time is it?" Sutton mumbled as she snuggled deeper into the bed.
"Going on 5." Happy stated glancing towards the clock and watched as she nodded her head, "I'll be back as soon as I can."
A/N: Thoughts? - A small filler chapter.
