A/N: Thanks for the reviews on the last chapter! I have a lot more in store for this story. I haven't decided if I want to make a sequal for it or just do one big story. Anyways, enjoy!
Perfect Guy - Chapter 71
"Gotta admit, I can't wait to get home." Sutton stated simply as Happy pushed her wheel chair out of Saint Thomas with Julian in his car seat with Rocky carrying him, "Miss my other baby."
"You talkin' about Vito or P?" Happy joked causing Sutton to playfully glare at the tattooed man.
Sutton and Happy had been grateful that Rocky and Anne had taken all the gifts home the night before and Anne had decided to stay with Penelope and Vito so Tig could have some time to unwind after spending that past few weeks there, and had switched off with Kozik.
"Anne said Koz can handle P better than Tig could. Guess they got into a bickering match last night about it." Happy chuckled as he told Sutton the news.
"Of course they did. Tig let's P walk all over him, so when she doesn't something she's not suppose to and he tries to tell her no, she flips her shit. With Koz, she still has fun but isn't a hellian and doesn't get into trouble." Sutton explained, "That's all you, the hellian part." Sutton added and laughed lightly when Happy flicked her in the shoulder lightly.
"Don't forget this evening Ellie and Bob want to FaceTime before they fly out next week." Rocky added as they got to the SUV, "I know they hated not being here, but they couldn't leave the resort with the managers. Been having some issues with the help. Gotta hire a bunch of new people." Rocky added.
"It's fine dad, besides, I know that they are busy with everything in Colorado. Can't wait for them to meet him though." Sutton smiled, "Maybe in a couple of months, we can go out to Colorado for a little bit to visit." Sutton added as she was helped into the back seat by Happy while Rocky got the car seat loaded on the other side of her.
"Sounds good to me. P hasn't been back in a few months, she'd love running around now." Happy commented making sure that Julian was secured, and heard Rocky laughing from the passenger seat.
"Hope you don't mind a thirty minute car ride dad, Hap's already said that he isn't going to speed." Sutton commented.
"You think that's bad. It took us an hour to get home from the hospital when you were born. Swear, I thought I was going to have a heart attack with the other drivers. Your mom was yelling at me the entire way, and when we finally got home, I think she kissed the sidewalk." Rocky explained causing Sutton to laugh.
Happy finally got into the driver's seat and took his time starting the SUV up, and Sutton fell into silence just mesmerized by the little boy who was sound asleep in his car seat.
She had to admit that she could already tell a difference between Julian as a newborn and Penelope as a newborn. The little boy had a calming effect to him and barely cried, where as Penelope would have screamed her head off any moment she got if she didn't get held or fed right then and there. She loved both of her children with everything in her and she couldn't wipe the smile off her face even if she had tried.
"Remember takin Penelope home? She was a damn terror." Rocky chuckled, "He's so quiet, gotta keep checkin' to see if you actually gave birth." Rocky joked.
"I know right? Just looking at him all sleepy and cuddly makes me want to sleep. He's already a chill baby, wonder if he'll have that demeanor for a while or if he'll pick up some of the crazy P inherited." Sutton commented, running a finger down Julian's cheek.
Sutton had been so zoned out that she didn't realize that Happy kept stealing glances in the rear view mirror through out the car ride, and didn't realize that they had finally pulled into the driveway of their home until the engine had shut off.
"You wanting to lay down?" Happy questioned as he moved out of the car and opened the back door, knowing that the brunette was exhausted.
"Yeah, just want to lay in bed with him and P for a little bit." Sutton explained and Happy playfully scoffed.
"What am I now? Chopped liver?" Happy questioned while Rocky chuckled from his side to help Sutton out.
"I figured it was a given you big baby." Sutton mumbled as she took both Happy and Rocky's hands to help herself out of the SUV and winced in pain, "Might end up being upstairs for a couple of days until the pain dies down."
"How bad?" Happy questioned concerned, knowing that she had a few stitches which caused him to cringe at the thought.
"About an eight." Sutton winced, "Just want to lay down for a bit. You get the baby, dad will help me into the house." Sutton added and Happy nodded his head.
She smiled softly watching the tattooed man looking torn on whether he should help her or get their son but grinned when he bent down to kiss their son's forehead as he unhooked the car seat.
"You let Vito smell his baby blanket?" Sutton questioned to Rocky as the two headed for the front door slowly.
"Yeah. He ended up laying on it most of the night."
"He better not do that growling shit to him, I'll kick his ass out of the house." Happy spoke up from behind the two.
"He only growls at you." Sutton added looking over her shoulder for a split second and then headed up the porch steps slowly, "Besides, he is great with Penelope, and she terrorizes him half the time."
Once they made it into the house, Sutton was instantly greeted by her daughter who had thrown her arms around her legs to hug her, causing the mother to laugh.
"I missed you too baby." Sutton moved to pick up Penelope but stopped when she heard Happy growl, "Momma can't lift you up just yet baby."
"She's been sucking her thumb for the past hour." Anne commented as she moved to examine her grandson in the car seat, "Made a bunch of food for you guys so you don't have to worry about cooking for a couple of days." Anne added.
"Thanks mom." Sutton yawned, "If you don't mind, I think we're going to try to lay down for a little bit. We're exhausted. And it looks like this little lady could use a nap too."
"That's fine. We could probably take a nap too. Kozik ran to the store for me real quick, but I'll let him know to not disturb you guys when he comes back." Anne explained.
"Okay, just make yourselves at home." Sutton added as Happy sat the car seat down to get Julian out, and then passed him to Sutton so he could pick up Penelope, "Can you let Vito out of the cage so he can get use to the baby." Sutton added and her father nodded his head.
Carefully, Sutton and Julian made their way up the stairs first, with Happy and Penelope following and made it to the large bedroom in time for Vito to come barreling in to greet them.
"Vito..." Happy growled in warning as Sutton sat on the bed with Julian in her arms and the dog began to sniff the little boy causing him to stir in Sutton's arms.
"Hap, he's fine. He's just sniffing him." Sutton smiled at the interaction, "Can you get that pillow that's shaped like a C from his room?" Sutton questioned, knowing that she had to be specific for the tattooed man, and watched him nod his head.
Sutton was able to get Penelope under her blanket and was thankful that she was in sweatpants and a t-shirt so she could be comfortable, and could tell the little girl was just as tired as them as she laid next to her in the large bed.
Once Happy returned, Sutton placed Julian on the pillow so she could get comfortable and changed into a pair of yoga shorts since the sweatpants she had on were uncomfortable, and then noticed Happy had changed out of his clothes and was just wearing a pair of black basketball shorts as he laid in the large bed.
Sutton had put her long hair into a high pony tail as she carefully climbed into the large bed, "Which side do you want?" Sutton questioned since Happy was actually on her side of the bed.
"You take that side, you need more sleep than me." Happy stated, "He ate before we left so he should be okay until you wake up, right?"
Sutton nodded her head as she laid on Happy's side of the bed and gotten under the blanket that was covering Penelope.
"Most he would need is a diaper change. Just don't let him pee on you." Sutton explained, knowing that it was extremely different changing a boy's diaper compared to a girls.
"I'm a man baby, I know what to do." Happy stated causing Sutton to shake her head with a laugh.
"Don't complain to me when he pees on you then." Sutton yawned as she cuddled with Penelope with her hand resting on the pillow that Julian was laying on, "If you need me, wake me up."
Happy nodded and leaned over to kiss the woman, and then his daughter, and then son's forehead and glanced to Vito who was laying at the kids feet, causing the tattooed man to shake his head as he closed his eyes.

Sutton blinked her eyes open a couple of hours later to see Julian laying against Happy's chest and a smile appeared on her face at the sight. Then she noticed their little girl was curled against Happy's arm, causing her to reach for her cell phone to take a picture.
"Babe..." Happy rasped out lowly.
"Huh?"
"I gotta piss. Neither of them will move." Happy stated, "Tried moving Julian, he started squirming, tried moving P, she clenched onto my arm like a damn spider monkey." Happy explained causing Sutton to cover her mouth to stop from laughing.
The brunette quickly moved to pick Julian up, and then laid down with the little boy against her chest, and then watched as Happy pulled his arm away slowly from Penelope who then turned to latch on to her mother's arm.
Sutton chuckled watching Happy jolt out of the bed and quickly rushed into the bathroom to relieve himself as she enjoyed the cuddles from the kids, and then watched as Happy returned a few moments later.
"Need anything while I'm up?" Happy questioned quietly.
"Something to drink please. Can you check on mom and dad? Make sure they're okay with us being up here. Kind of feel obligated to entertain them, but I'm just so damn tired and sore."
"It's fine baby. If they think you should entertain them after giving birth, then they can go get a hotel room or something. Just relax. If they want to talk they can come up here. No sense in you going up and down the stairs." Happy stated and Sutton nodded her head as she laid back further into the pillows, "I'll be back."
Happy made his way downstairs to see that Anne, Rocky and Kozik were in the living room watching TV and dozing off.
"How is she?" Rocky questioned.
"She's okay. She's still in pain. Feels bad that she's upstairs and not down here to talk to you guys." Happy explained quickly.
"Oh we don't care. I know she's exhausted." Anne piped up, "We're just here to help out with food and to let you guys get some rest before we leave in a couple of days." Anne added, "After while I'll get dinner started and bring it up to you guys." Anne added.
"Thanks. Really appreciate it." Happy spoke honestly.
"How's P doing with the new kid?" Kozik questioned.
Happy chuckled, "She's sound asleep, right along with him. He woke up once for a diaper change, and then fell right back to sleep once we were in bed. P seems to like him, but she was also half asleep when we got home. Will be able to tell once she's up from her nap."
"Let's hope she can handle the attention not being on all the time. You guys got her spoiled." Kozik joked, and Happy nodded his head in agreement.
"Tell me about it." Happy chuckled as he walked into the kitchen to get some drinks, and decided to go ahead and get Penelope's cup since she would be waking up soon.
Once Happy headed back upstairs he was slightly surprised to see that Sutton had fallen back asleep, but he decided to let her sleep instead of waking her, and turned the TV on and made sure to keep the volume low.
He had to admit that he had wished that his mom was still around, because there was absolutely no doubt that she would have fallen in love with Sutton and the kids. There was also no doubt that his mother would have rung his ass for the way he had treated her in the past when he got scared because of his insecurities. He knew that he still had his aunt, but he wasn't very close to her once his mother had passed, and had barely spoke to her. But he realized that he needed to change that. It wasn't fair to his children that he couldn't meet his side of the family.
"What are you thinking about?" Sutton questioned lowly, almost scaring him.
"Just thinkin' how much my ma would have loved you and the kids." Happy admitted, "Thinkin' about getting in touch with my aunt, my ma's sister, maybe see if she wants to meet you and the kids."
Sutton smiled softly, "That sounds nice" Sutton nodded, "It would be nice to meet your family, I'd like to see the background you grew up in." Sutton added, adjusting the sleeping new born on her chest, "Don't feel pressured or anything though. We can go at your pace."
Sutton knew that it was a lot for him emotionally to be around his mother's family, especially since he was so close with her, and since she wasn't around anymore, he hardly spoke about her and her family that was left living. It was just something he couldn't do.
"I'll think about it, last time I talked to her was when I was locked up. Ma would have my ass for being so distant with her, but I can't stand her damn kids, especially the son." Happy explained and Sutton let out a chuckle knowing that his aunt's son was an uptight jerk.
"Well do what you want to baby." Sutton added leaving over to kiss him the best she could, and knew that they were going to be enjoying their first night home as a family.
