A/N: Thank you for the reviews on the last chapter. It means the world to me everyone is still interested in this story. I haven't forgotten the Kozik/OC story I have up, I'm just trying to find the time to actually sit down and write. Anyway, on with the story.
Chapter 69 - Perfect Guy
"I think my water broke..." Sutton stated with flushed cheeks, then turned to glance to Happy who had panic written all over his face.
"Why the hell you still standing in the shower then?!" Happy growled a moment later, finally letting his mind register what was going on.
Sutton rolled her eyes, "I'm not one hundred percent sure. I mean, I am standing in a shower and we just had a ton of sex. Kind of hard to figure out if it was my water breaking or what." Sutton explained, turning the shower off for a moment to exam herself. She knew that she had been having back pain but it wasn't nothing that she couldn't handle, so it was hard to tell right then.
"Woman, you ain't given birth to our kid in a shower." Happy grumbled watching the brunette with curious eyes.
"Chill out." Sutton snapped lightly, "I think it was just my mucus plug. Let me finish showering and then we'll go to the hospital to get checked out." Sutton explained and she knew that Happy was about to blow a gasket, "I am NOT going to the hospital smelling like sweat and sex." Sutton glared at the shirtless man.
"Jesus Christ Sutton..." Happy huffed, "Want do I need to do? I can tell your in pain." Happy added.
Sutton turned the shower back on and continued her shower and thought of what Happy needed to get in case she was in fact going into labor, "Can you lay out some clothes for me to get dressed in, and then the bags? I have them in the closet on the floor. Packed them already. Put them in the car." Sutton explained, "Then can you make sure your idiot friend will watch P, don't want to drag her out, oh and can you call my dad." Sutton winced lightly and decided to be quick in the shower.
"On it. Holler if you need me, and for the love of God hurry up." Happy stated and leaned into the shower to kiss her wet shoulder.
As Sutton finished with her shower, making sure to wash her lady parts, and her hair, she made a mental list of everything that she had done to make sure she didn't forget anything for the baby boy in case he was arriving early. Once she had rinsed the suds off, she stepped out of the shower and wrapped herself in a towel.
"You gotta be early don't cha baby..." Sutton whispered to her son, moving to the sink to brush her teeth, and grab her brush, and then headed into the master bedroom.
Sitting on the large bed, Sutton dried off the best she could and put on the pair of cotton panties and then the black sweatpants, and stood up to pull them the rest of the way up, and wasn't surprised to hear Happy entering the room a moment later.
"How you feeling?" Happy questioned, his dark eyes watching her closely to notice any signs of pain, and watched as she shrugged her shoulders lightly as she slipped on the white sports bra, and then the white tank top.
"My back just hurts. Kind of getting worse, feels better if I'm sitting." Sutton commented lowly, "You wake Tig?" Sutton questioned sitting back down rubbing her back.
"Yeah. He's awake. Gonna take care of P and Vito for us." Happy moved to sit beside the brunette and put a large hand on her back, "Called your dad, they're going to get the first flight out." Happy explained as he began to rub her back, and kissed her temple, "Let's get you to Saint Thomas. Don't like seeing you in pain. Know you're trying to keep yourself in check." Happy mumbled into her wet hair.
"O..okay." Sutton frowned, "Can you help me up?" Sutton questioned lowly, "Gotta grab my purse and cell phone." Sutton added.
"It's already in the car babe." Happy stated as he helped her up and watched as her small hands went straight to her back and frowned.
Happy had to admit that he was scared shitless, since he didn't know what to expect. He hadn't been there for Sutton when she gave birth to Penelope, so it wasn't like he was a pro at watching his girlfriend in pain, and he knew that it was only going to get worse.
As Sutton slowly made her way out of the bedroom and towards the steps, Happy noticed that she had to take a break for a moment before she started to move again, and he felt so helpless. He watched silently as she winced every few steps and when she finally was on the first floor, she was about in tears.
"Want me to carry you?" Happy questioned lowly and watched her shake her head as Tig approached to wish her luck.
"Just want to get in the car and sit." Sutton explained as she made her way outside to the porch with Happy right on her tail with an arm around her lower back.
"Few more steps." Happy commented, "Should have pulled the car up here." Happy grumbled to himself, realizing that he didn't think about the short journey down the side walk to the driveway.
"It's fine Hap."
Once Sutton had gotten to the SUV, Happy wasted no time in opening the door for her and helping her into the passenger seat. He quickly raced to the drivers door to get in and started up the car.
"Don't drive like a maniac." Sutton warned with her head down as she was trying to get comfortable in the seat, "Don't want to die on the way to the hospital."
Happy smirked at her comment, "You go through this with P?" Happy questioned with his large hand on her small hand.
"No, that was different. It was kind of straight to the point. Water broke and then bam, contractions. None of this shit." Sutton whimpered, "Feel like this is going to be tougher." Sutton added, "Glad you're with me for this."
"Me too mama." Happy commented as he focused on driving to the hospital.

Happy had never wanted to strangle someone so bad in his life. Once he got Sutton to the hospital, the nurses wasted no time in getting Sutton to a room to examine her. He knew that she was on the verge of going into labor but wasn't quite there yet, so they couldn't give her anything for the pain, and it didn't help that Sutton wanted to wait.
"Damnit baby, can't see you like this." Happy grumbled, leaning down to kiss her forehead, once the doctor left after checking to see if she had began to dialate.
"I'm okay Hap...just uncomfortable." Sutton whimpered, "Will you lay with me?" Sutton questioned and saw the hesitation on his face, "Hap, please...I want to try to sleep some, it's gonna be a long night." Sutton added and saw that the tattooed man caved as he moved to lay next to her in the small bed.
"Sorry I wasn't here for you with P..." Happy rasped out lowly, now getting a small glimpse of what she had went through with their first born.
"You're here now Hap." Sutton curled into the man the best she could and rested her head against his shoulder as his large hand played with her damp hair, "Hope mom and dad make it before he comes. Don't want them missing it." Sutton mumbled, "Don't forget to call Kozik. He'll want to be here too."
Happy nodded his head and pulled out his phone to shoot Kozik a text message to let him know that they were at the hospital, and then shot a text to Jax to let him know that he wasn't leaving Sutton's side for the next few days.
The tattooed man glanced down to see the brunette's eyes closed, and realized how much he loved her. It wasn't like he questioned it before, but just seeing her in that state caused something inside of him to click. She had gone through the birth of their daughter without him, and did a hell of a job as a mother to her, and he knew without a doubt she'd be a great mother to their son. It didn't matter how much they had fought, their past issues, he was going to spend the rest of his life with her, and he was going to do whatever it took to make her happy.

"This kid is going to be so damn stubborn." Sutton cried out while Happy looked on helplessly.
"How long until she can get something for the pain?" Happy questioned to the nurse who looked scared to death to walk into the room.
"Shouldn't be too much longer." The nurse stated quietly.
"Do you not see how much pain she is in? What the fuck good does it do being in a hospital if she can't get something for the pain?!" Happy sneered, causing the nurse's face to go white.
"Hap..." Sutton warned, but he cut her a hard glare, so she decided to remain silent.
"You have kids?" Happy questioned and the nurse took a second before shaking her head no, "Then you don't know what it's like to be in fucking labor. You realize that a human being is going to come out of her, right?!" Happy snapped, "Get the doctor in here." Happy ordered and watched the nurse scamper off.
"Hap, stop snapping at the nurse. She's doing her job."
"Don't give a shit. You've been in a shit load of pain for the past three hours, the least they could do is give you something." Happy explained moving back towards Sutton.
"You need to chill out, if you get kicked out..." Sutton started but Happy stopped her with a nod of his head in understanding.
"I'll behave." Happy rolled his dark eyes.
"Try to get some sleep. You've been up all night." Sutton commented as Happy laid back down with her, and knew that he was exhausted.
Sutton had been thankful that she was able to sleep for a couple of hours once the back pain had decreased for a while, but she hated the fact that Happy refused to sleep in case she needed something. It didn't help that he was snapping at the nurse left and right when they wouldn't give her something for the pain just yet.
"Babe, I'll wake you if anything happens." Sutton promised, almost with a begging tone and watched as the grouchy man gave a nod and turned on his side to face her, and closed his eyes.

"Oh Jesus..." Sutton cried out in pain causing Happy to quickly move to her side after stepping out of the bathroom to freshen up after his two hour nap.
"Need anything?" Happy questioned lowly, allowing Sutton to grab ahold of his hand.
"This child needs to come out." Sutton cried, tears rolling down her cheeks, "I want my dad! Where is he?!" Sutton added.
Happy frowned, and reached into his pocket with his free hand to grab his cell phone. He knew that they were able to get a red-eye flight out and they had gotten to the airport, but wasn't sure where they were in California. So he shot Rocky a text message.
"You're never coming near my vagina again." Sutton growled lowly, causing Happy to smirk, "I'm not kidding, no more kids." Sutton added, "It hurts."
"I know baby, but it shouldn't be too much longer. The doc said you were almost eight centimeters dialated." Happy explained, "That pain medicine should be working soon."
Sutton gave a nod as the pain slowly decreased and heard Happy's cell phone began to ring causing her to let go of his hand so he could answer it, "Hello?" Happy answered the phone, "Yeah, room 231." Happy answered and then snapped the phone shut and rubbed a hand over his tired face.
"You're mom and dad are on their way up." Happy stated to Sutton who was silently questioning who was on the phone and watched as relief flashed over her face, "Kozik said that he was going to stop by after while, think Tig is going to bring P to see you if you're up to it." Happy explained.
Sutton gave a nod, "I miss my baby cuddles. Hope she'll adjust okay."
"Sure she will. She's great with Abel and Thomas." Happy explained as he sat down in the chair next to the bed, "Think she might get jealous over feedings." Happy stated, knowing that Sutton was going to breast feed.
"I think you might get jealous too. Won't be able to have sex for like a month." Sutton commented causing Happy to narrow his eyes for a moment, "Trust me, you'll be lucky if we ever have sex again." Sutton joked.
Happy was about to reply but was cut off by a knock on the door, causing him to turn his head to see Rocky and Anne walk into the room with several different bags in their hands.
"Hey baby." Rocky smiled moving to kiss Sutton's forehead, "How you feeling?" He added.
"I'm okay. Just want to meet him already." Sutton smiled softly, "Thanks for getting here so fast, don't think I could do this without you guys." Sutton added and hugged her mom lightly.
"How are you holding up?" Rocky questioned to Happy as Anne began to talk to Sutton quietly.
"Don't like seein' her in pain." Happy admitted, "Just wish he'd come out already. Shouldn't be much longer though. Oh, Tig is probably going to bring P by after while, she'll go bananas if she doesn't see Sutton soon."
Rocky laughed, "She can hang out with us in the waiting room if you want her to, I mean, if you think that'll help any."
"Not sure yet." Happy commented.
He knew that he needed to have someone from the club keeping an eye out on things at the hospital since he was with Sutton, and there was still a club threat around that they had no information on, and he wasn't sure if he wanted Penelope around since he couldn't keep an eye on her just yet.

Happy couldn't believe what had transpired within the last hour. It was almost like a whirlwind, he couldn't even register the fact that his new boy son was in his arms. The moment he heard his sons first cries, he felt his heart swell with so much love that he couldn't even put into words. He had unshed tears in his eyes, and when his dark orbs landed on his son for the first time, he lost it.
Julian Augustus Lowman came into the world seven pounds and 6 ounces, and almost 22 inches long.
"Let me see him Hap..." Sutton smiled as she watched her son with his father for the first time, and watched the tattooed man bring the new born to her.
"He's so beautiful..." Sutton grinned at her little boy, seeing that he was almost a spitting image of Penelope when she was a newborn but had little tiny rolls on his legs and arms, "He looks so much like P..." Sutton added.
"You did so good mama." Happy rasped out wiping his cheeks, and then leaned down to kiss Sutton, "I love you."
"I love you too daddy." Sutton couldn't wipe the smile off her face as they both began to examine the little boy, "Look at his little legs." Sutton laughed, "He's going to be tall like you, I can already tell now."
"That's why he was kickin' up a storm." Happy chuckled, "Those long ass legs."
Once they were able to spend a few minutes with their son, the nurse had taken Julian to get cleaned up, and so they could get Sutton cleaned up and back to her room.
"Can you go let everyone know that he's here? Once I'm back in the room and settled with him, they can come back." Sutton explained as she kept her eyes on their son across the room.
"Yeah, I'll let them know. You need anything?" Happy questioned lowly, and watched as she shook her head, "I'll meet you back in the room, okay?" Happy questioned and watched as Sutton nodded her head in agreement.
A/N: Thoughts?
I'll try to make another update this weekend, so be sure to keep an eye out. Might do a little time jump of them back at home with the baby, but not entirely sure yet.
