A/N: Thank you for all of the reviews on the last chapter! I took a couple of days to read the story again because I knew I was forgetting things because of everything going on in my personal life, so I'm hoping I can touch base with a lot of things I've left out.

Chapter 72 - Perfect Guy

It had been a couple of days since Happy and Sutton had been home with Julian, and they both were exhausted between Julian waking up wanting to be held and then Penelope fighting for attention when Sutton would feed Julian.

Sutton had been extremely grateful that her parents would entertain Penelope long enough for Julian to get fed, and then Happy would try his best to entertain the little dark haired girl, but she wasn't having it. Which was rather frustrating since they were always so close.

When Sutton had woke up and fed Julian that morning, she had decided to let Happy sleep in since he had been running on a couple of hours of sleep a night since they had gotten home, and had her parents watch the kids so she could take a shower.

She had decided to take her time in the shower since she was still a little sore, but definitely enjoyed the warm water on her body since she hadn't taken an actual shower since she had gotten home from the hospital. As she stood under the sprayer, she realized that her good friend Jake was still coming out to California, and had almost completely forgot all about it considering the past month had been bananas. Between fighting with Happy, and then getting ready for Julian's arrival, she had neglected to find out when he was actually coming.

Once she had shaved her legs and washed her hair, Sutton used her favorite Dove body wash to clean off her skin. Once all the suds were gone, she turned the water off and rung out her hair before grabbing a towel to wrap around her hair and then grabbed another for her body.

Slowly getting out of the shower, she made her way to the large counter to dry off and went to put on her panties and realized that she had only one pad left.

"Shit..." Sutton sighed, knowing that she was still bleeding a little, but went through the motions of putting it on and then put on her black leggings carefully, and then put on a nursering bra and a black cami tank top, and then put on a denim button up long sleeve and brushed her teeth.

After she towel dried her hair and then brushed out the knots she had decided to put her hair into a low pony tail until it dried, and put the dirty clothes and towels in the hamper and quietly made her way out of the bathroom.

A smile appeared seeing Happy sound asleep, dead to the world as the covers were down to his hips and his face was buried into his arm that was covering his face. There was a split moment that Sutton had thought about covering the man back up, but she knew if she did he would end up waking up, so she headed out of the bedroom.

Once she had gotten downstairs into the living room, she saw that Penelope was sound asleep next to her dad in the chair while Anne was holding Julian.

"Were they any trouble?" Sutton questioned quietly running a finger down Julian's cheek as he slept.

"No, your dad turned on cartoons and within five minutes P was sound asleep and Julian was right behind her." Anne explained, "I made coffee if you want some..." Anne added.

Sutton thought it over for a moment and decided that she could have one cup, because the truth was, she needed the caffenine to get through the day since she was running on fumes. So she headed to the kitchen to make a cup, and made sure that Vito had food and water, and then she headed back into the living room and curled up on the couch with Julian in his little swing near her.

Happy began to stir awake and felt the left side of the bed to cuddle against his girlfriend only to find her side empty, causing him to open one eye and then the other instantly and glanced around the room to see the kids missing too.

Stretching out for a moment he then glanced to the clock to see that it was going on ten in the morning causing him to jump out of the bed and rushed out of the bedroom to head downstairs.

Almost tripping down the stairs he instantly relaxed as soon as he stepped into the living room to see Sutton holding Julian while reading to Penelope who was sitting on her other side of the couch.

"About time you got up." Sutton teased with a playful smile as she glanced up to see Happy looking a little lost, "Didn't want to wake you this morning, so I had mom and dad watch the kids while I showered." Sutton explained.

Happy rubbed the sleep from his eyes and noticed that Sutton looked a lot more refreshed and could tell that she felt better, "Sorry I slept so long babe." Happy rasped out moving towards the couch to kiss the kids and Sutton.

"It's fine. You were running on less sleep than me. You get so paranoid at night." Sutton chuckled and stiffled back a yawn.

"Can't help it. Missed a lot with P, don't want you to do this round by yourself either. Let me get a quick shower and some coffee and I'll watch the hellians so you can rest. You need it too babe." Happy stated.

"I'll think about it. Mom and Dad decided to go to the grocery store for us, and they are going to pick up lunch too." Sutton explained as he leaned down to kiss her, and then nodded his head.

"I'll be back down in a minute." Happy stated and then disappeared back upstairs.

He had to admit that he wasn't sure how Sutton got through the late nights with Penelope on her own, especially witnessing how Julian loved to be held in the middle of the night after his feedings or diaper change. But he had to admit that he seemed a lot more calm than Penelope had been in her newborn stage. It was crazy to see the difference between the brother and sister even when he was just a week old.

Once he was done with his shower, dried off and put on a pair of boxers, he decided to stick with wearing black sweatpants and a gray sons t-shirt since he had absolutely no intentions of leaving the house, and knew that they were still enjoying their time as a family.

Heading back downstairs he made his way to the kitchen to see Sutton holding Julian while Penelope was clung to her leg, "P, do you want water or juice?" Sutton questioned to the toddler since she was starting to learn little words.

Happy watched as the little girl whined at her mother's leg causing him to furrow his eyebrows at the child, "Penelope Kyah Lowman." Happy warned moving to pick up the little girl and sat her own the counter, "What do you want to drink?" Happy questioned looking into the little girl's eyes as she let out a huff.

Sutton frowned at her daughter since she felt like she was failing at showing her attention because of Julian, but she knew that their daughter would eventually grow out of it.

"You get water then." Happy announced to the little girl and moved to get her cup and filled it up with water and secured the lid before handing it to Penelope.

"We need to figure something out babe..." Sutton stated after Happy sat the little girl on her feet and watched as she walked back into the living room, "I hate that she thinks we aren't giving her attention..."

"She's just use to it being her, she'll get use to it." Happy stated as they followed her into the living room with Julian, "Besides, it's not like she's trying to chew his ear off or something, she's pretty good with him. Think she's just not use to seeing us holding another baby." Happy added as Sutton sat down on the couch after putting Julian in the little swing, with Happy sitting next to her.

"I love them both so much, but the age difference could have been a little bigger." Sutton stated causing Happy to glance at her with narrowed eyes, "Don't give me that look, I mean because they're both in diapers, Penelope is going to hit her terrible two stage while Julian is still an infant. It's going to be nuts for a while." Sutton added.

"So you don't want more kids?" Happy questioned causing Sutton to laugh.

"How is it that I explain that we will have kids so close in age and in diapers and some how you got that I don't want more kids?" Sutton questioned, "If and when we have more children, I would like for Penelope and Julian to at least be out of diapers." Sutton added as she moved to put her feet across Happy's lap.

Happy gave a nod as he grabbed the remote to the TV to turn it on, "Oh, I was thinking in a month or two I'd go back to work at Saint Thomas." Sutton added causing Happy to tense and glare at her, "What?" Sutton questioned.

"What about the kids?" Happy questioned, "I thought we decided that you could not work since you busted your ass working and taking care of P on your own?" Happy added a little heatedly.

"Woah..." Sutton raised an eyebrow, "First off, there are millions of people who have babysitters for their kids, and Saint Thomas has a daycare, so it's not like I would be hundred miles away from them. Plus, you know that I get down by not working. I've always worked Hap." Sutton added, "I appreciate you wanting to take care of us since I worked right after P, but I'd like to contribute to our family too." Sutton realized that she had said the wrong thing since Happy liked to twist her words when he was tired.

"This because you make a better income than me?" Happy questioned with narrowed eyes.

"No Hap. I love my job and what I do to help people. The income has nothing to do with this." Sutton stated taking her feet off of Happy's lap, and moved to stand up, "I think I'm going to go lay down for a while, I'm not trying to argue with you about this, so I'm sorry I even brought it up. I'll be the stepford wife you want me to be without the ring." Sutton added moving to reach for Julian.

"Keep the kids down here. I'll watch them." Happy stated but Sutton could tell he was pissed by her last comment.

"There's breastmilk in the fridge." Sutton stated and kissed Julian's head and then moved across the room to kiss Penelope's head and headed upstairs with Vito following her.

When she had gotten upstairs she had decided to send Jake a text message apologizing for not getting ahold of him and explaining that things had been hectic, but she would love to see him when he was in California, and then she crawled into the large unmade bed and closed her eyes rather quickly.

Once Sutton's parents had come back from the store and had gotten everyone lunch, Rocky had stopped Happy in the kitchen while Anne was giving Penelope her lunch.

"Something on your mind?" Rocky questioned quietly causing Happy to breath out in frustration a little.

"Your daughter." Happy admitted causing Rocky to laugh a little, "And me, mostly me though." Happy added.

"Care to explain? Maybe I can give some advice?" Rocky added.

Happy ran a tired hand over his face, "Well, Sutton made the comment that she was thinking about going back to work in a month or two, but I thought we had the understanding that she didn't have to go back to work since she had busted her ass by herself for so long while I was locked up." Happy explained, "Then she made the comment that she'll be the stepford wife I want without the ring." Happy added causing Rocky to laugh and the tattooed man narrowed his eyes.

"Son, she's exhausted. She just gave birth and she's trying to handle Penelope getting use to having another baby around. She had a routine down with P when she went back to work, and when you got out, she felt useless without working. She's had a job since she was sixteen, so she's use to routine. You gotta think about it Hap, she doesn't know many people in this town, and truth be told, I think if she could convince you to move, she would. You ever think about how you'd feel going from working and taking care of a kid to just staying at home with a kid day in and day out?" Rocky questioned.

Happy thought for a minute, "Shit..." He cursed, realizing that Rocky was right about Sutton not knowing anyone outside of the club in town, and with work, she had an outlet of sorts, "What do I do? I don't want her feeling like that. I know she loves the kids more than anything, but she doesn't have friends. Tara is flaky as hell, and she can only handle so much of my friends." Happy stated.

"That's something you'll have to talk to her about. Only she can tell you what would help. It's not like if she goes back to work she'll neglect you and the kids, she just needs communication from the outside world, everyone does." Rocky added, "How about you go take her food and spend some time with her, we'll watch the kids for a while." Rocky added.

"Thanks Rocky. Really appreciate it."

Happy grabbed the sub sandwiches and two bottles of water and headed up the stairs in hopes that Sutton had slept decently for the couple of hours that she was asleep.

When he got to the bedroom he moved towards the windows to open the curtains a little and then moved towards the bed, "Babe, food." Happy rasped out and ran a hand down her arm, "Gotta eat while it's hot." Happy added and watched as Sutton's eyes opened a few moments later.

"I'm so tired..." Sutton commented as she rolled onto her back.

"Well once you eat you can go back to sleep. You're parents are enjoying the time with kids before your grandparents come tomorrow." Happy added as Sutton sat up with her back resting against the headboard.

"God, I forgot they were coming. I have to clean the house." Sutton stated.

"Babe, the house is fine." Happy stated as he handed over the sandwich and water bottle to her, "Besides, the mess is in here." Happy added with a chuckle looking around to see Penelope's toys and Julian's things.

Once Sutton took a couple of bites of her sub, "Sorry for being snappy" Sutton commented lowly, "You didn't deserve that comment."

Happy gave a nod, "Can I ask you somethin?" Happy questioned and watched the brunette nod her head, "You're not a big fan of Charming are you? I mean, cause you don't really have friends outside of the club."

Sutton shrugged her shoulders, "It's a little more rough than it use to be when I first got here. I mean, now when I go to the store or something people stare at me with a look."

"A look?" Happy furrowed his eyebrows.

"Yeah, you know the look that anyone associated with the club gets. It's not like the neighbors are other kids parents are dying to be friends with me." Sutton explained with tears in her eyes.

"Shit Sutton...don't cry..." Happy frowned and moved to comfort her but she shook her head no.

"It's just hormones." Sutton stated, "I'm fine with being here Hap." Sutton added and began to eat her sub again.

Happy knew that Sutton was lying about being fine in Charming, and he knew that she was having trouble without having any friends, and he knew that Tara hadn't bothered to even show up at the hospital when Julian was born but Sutton didn't say a word about it. He hated the fact that Sutton was judged due to him and his relationship with the club since she didn't sign up for it when they first got together since he lied about it.

"I'm sorry Sutton." Happy rasped out, "This shit is sort of my fault." Happy added causing Sutton to furrow her eyebrows at him, "If I would have been up front with you when we first got together, you could have chose someone different."

Sutton nearly choked on her sub, "Hap, don't go there. It's not your fault people are judgemental assholes. Besides, I figured Tara would be around more once things settled down with Clay, but she seems more distant now."

"You call her when you went into labor with Julian?" Happy questioned, already knowing the answer.

"Yeah. She was there when Penelope was born, I just thought that maybe we were better friends than that. I have to admit, I was a little upset she didn't even bother to send a text or something." Sutton explained, "I mean, I know she's busy with the kids and Jax but still...I made time for her and all her drama, but she can't do the same? I don't think I want a friend like that."

Happy nodded his head, "We'll figure something out mama. Worse case scenario, we can always move to some suburb where people don't know who the sons are." Happy commented causing Sutton to chuckle.

"I'll keep that in mind." Sutton commented, "Oh, I text Jake and apologized for not getting back to him cause things have been crazy, but I think you'll really like him if he decides to stop by to visit." Sutton added.

Once Happy and Sutton had finished their food and water, Sutton laid back down while Happy took the trash downstairs and was slightly surprised when he returned and crawled into the bed next to her, "You're parents gave the all clear." Happy explained as he pulled Sutton closer, "Your tits are huge." Happy added causing Sutton to chuckle.

"They hurt. Hopefully they go back down some." Sutton yawned out as she cuddled into Happy's chest, "Can you wake me up in like an hour? I don't want my parents to watch the kids all day."

"Yeah babe." Happy kissed the top of her head, already knowing that her parents said to let her sleep as long as possible.

He remained silent as Sutton dozed off, trying to figure out how to fix Sutton feeling lonely in the small ass town, and he made a mental note to talk to Jax about what Tara's problem was, because he refused to let any old lady treat Sutton like crap.

"I love you Hap..." Sutton mumbled.

"Love you too baby."
