A/N: Thanks for the reviews on the last chapter, and thank you for taking the time to read this story. Also, there is still a lot to this story that I have planned.
Chapter 74 - Perfect Guy
Happy smirked as he stood in the door frame of his and Sutton's bedroom to see the brunette breast feeding their son. He knew that if it would have been anyone else he would have been disturbed at the sight, but seeing the woman he loved with one of his children was a beautiful sight. He loved seeing her with no make-up on, her long hair a mess falling down her side, with a smile plastered on her face as she stared at Julian.
"Stop staring babe, it's weird." Sutton spoke lowly, glancing up to the man who was smirking at her.
"Can't help it." Happy stated pushing himself off the door frame he was leaning on, and headed for the bed, "Didn't ever think I'd be with someone like you with two awesome kids. Just enjoying these moments." Happy added slipping his t-shirt off and then laid on the large bed, "P went down without a fight. Honestly kind of surprised she didn't scream bloody murder." Happy added as he turned the TV on and turned the volume on low.
"She was exhausted. She skipped a nap today because mom and dad left, and with grandma and grandpa playing with her all morning. Surprised she didn't scream bloody murder on the way to the airport." Sutton commented as she covered her breast up after Julian was done and then moved to burp him.
"Yeah, me too." Happy chuckled, "Here, hand him over and I'll burp him. You find something to watch on TV." Happy added handing her the remote as she was getting ready to hand Julian over but was cut off my Happy's burner phone vibrating.
Happy narrowed his eyes as he reached for the cell phone to answer it, and as if on cue, Penelope started to whimper from her bedroom, causing Happy to get up from the bed to get the little girl as he answered the phone.
"Yeah?"
"Hate to do this man, but we need some help." Jax's voice came over the phone, "I know shit has been crazy for you, but there's some issues within the club with the prospects, and I need you and Tig on this." Jax explained.
"On what?" Happy questioned as he reached for the little girl who instantly clung to him the moment he picked her up.
"We got intel on the guys who opened that new shop, found out where a couple of them live, and need some people to sit and see what their up to. We think they're behind the present that was left at your place. Few other guys got the same present too." Jax explained.
Happy sighed, as he agreed and then snapped the phone shut and headed into the bedroom to see Sutton looking upset but she tried to hide it.
"Babe..." Happy frowned as he let Penelope crawl towards Sutton, being careful of Julian laying on her chest, "I'm sorry...I don't know what to do, I hate this shit."
"It's fine." Sutton stated simply, "It had to start sometime." Sutton added with a shrug of her shoulders as she put an arm around Penelope who cuddled into her side, "Can you put the pillows on the side so Penelope doesn't try to wiggle off." Sutton added as she focused on the TV.
Happy felt like absolute shit, especially since this was their first night alone as a family, and he didn't want Sutton to have to take care of both kids alone through the night since she was already exhausted. But it's not like he could tell Jax to fuck off as much as he wanted to.
Silently getting up from the bed, Happy grabbed his jeans and t-shirt and headed to the bathroom to get changed when the sound of two motorcycles approached, and then a few moments later the front door opening and closing, and knew that it was Tig using his house key.
Happy decided to run some cold water on his face before he walked back into the bedroom and saw Tig and Opie both walking into the large bedroom.
"Hey doll." Tig greeted, moving towards the large bed to kiss the top of Sutton's head, and then ruffed up Penelope's hair gently, and then poked Julian's cheek while Opie stood by the door.
"What's going on? Thought I was meeting you at the club house?" Happy questioned as he was getting ready to put on his kutte.
"Well Ope here offered to cover for you tonight. He heard me tellin Koz how you had visitors since you guys got home, so it's your first official night as a family." Tig explained, "We figured Sutton might end up cuttin' your balls off." Tig added and chuckled when Sutton nodded her head earning a glare from Happy.
"Look, Jax is in a weird place right now. He doesn't realize that there's things that are a little more important that sitting on a house." Opie started, "Just want you to know, the late night shit, you call me, I'll handle it. He should know first hand about new borns and toddlers, and don't worry about him, I'll handle it." Opie explained.
Sutton had to admit that she was shocked about Opie's offer, and she was extremely grateful to the point that she moved off the bed with Julian in her arms and hugged the man, and then kissed his cheek.
"Thank you." Sutton looked up to him and then to Happy who gave her a short nod, silently telling her that he would take the offer.
"You sure man?" Happy questioned as Sutton walked out of the bedroom, most likely to change Julian's diaper, "Don't want to cause issues with you and Jax."
"Nah man, it's fine."
"Thanks. I really appreciate it. Have to say I've been on some thin ice over the past few months, and our first night alone if I took off, she'd probably kick me out." Happy stated.
"Damn right I would." Sutton stated as she walked back in the room with Julian's small blanket, causing Opie and Tig to laugh lowly.
"If you guys run into any issues, call me." Happy added, "Let me know what you find out." Happy added causing both men to nod and say their goodbyes and followed them downstairs to make sure that the alarm was set and the doors were locked and then headed back upstairs.

"It's a little weird with it just being us and the kids in the house." Sutton commented as she curled into Happy's side as they laid in the large bed watching a movie on TV while the kids were sleeping.
"Yeah, but it was starting to get crowded." Happy started, "Besides, you notice that the more P gets spoiled she gets a little whiny compared to normal?" Happy questioned.
"Uh huh." Sutton nodded, "I think the next time they visit, we need to tell them to chill out with presents and babying her. Kind of makes it a little hard to handle her once they leave." Sutton added, "It's one thing to show her love, but they go completely overboard. It reminds me of smothering." Sutton laughed lightly causing Happy to chuckle.
Once Penelope had waken up for a few moments, Julian followed right behind her needing a diaper change, and thankfully both children passed out not long after that in the large bed with their parents.
Happy glanced to the clock to see that it was going on one in the morning and Sutton was sound asleep cuddling with Penelope, and then glanced to Julian who was sound asleep in his little bassinet, and then saw Vito at the edge of Sutton's feet sound asleep causing him to chuckle a little bit.
Just as the tattooed man was getting ready to find another movie to watch, the door bell rang a couple of times causing him to get extremely angry extremely quickly since Julian and Penelope both woke up screaming and crying, and scaring Sutton in the process.
"Who in the hell is that?" Sutton questioned as she moved to pick up Julian and then Penelope to try to calm them down as Happy got out of the bed and moved to get his gun.
"Don't know. Stay here." Happy ordered, moving out of the room quickly, and shutting the door behind him and headed straight downstairs and picked up his pace when the door bell rang again, "Fuckin' dead..." Happy muttered as he hit the alarm code and then unlocked the door to find Jax standing there.
"Have you lost your fuckin mind?!" Happy growled.
"Thought I told you to go with Tig?" Jax sneered, "I didn't ask Opie to do it. I asked you to."
Happy glared at the man, "In case you missed it, my old lady just had a kid. I ain't going to leave her by herself with two kids less than two weeks after giving birth. I ain't you man."
Jax's blue eyes narrowed, "The hell is that suppose to mean? You got something you want to say?"
"Yeah, actually I do." Happy stepped up to Jax, "You need to get your head out of your ass and don't show up at my fuckin' house at one in the morning with TWO kids asleep. You also need to stop sending me on bullshit runs that someone else can handle, in case you forgot, I'm not an errand boy. I handle shit." Happy sneered.
Jax smirked, "Looks like your old lady has you - " Jax started but Happy cut him off.
"I suggest you don't even fuckin' finish that sentence." Happy warned, "MY old lady has absolutely nothing to do with this. It's me not wanting to be a dead beat father who never spends time with his kids. I ain't leavin' that to Sutton and Sutton alone." Happy growled.
Jax narrowed his eyes into slits and snarled a little before shaking his head, "Tomorrow, we have church." Jax stated and turned to head back to his bike.
"Fuckin' prick." Happy mumbled as he walked back inside and set the alarm and locked the door and hurried back upstairs to help Sutton with the kids.
Sutton watched as Happy entered the bedroom and left the door open and then moved to put his gun away, "Jax." Happy answered her silent question causing her to raise an eyebrow.
"Has he lost his mind?" Sutton questioned, "I have half the mind to go over to his house and wake his kids up to see how he likes it." Sutton snapped as Happy moved to the bed and grabbed Julian.
"Decided he need to try to ring my ass for Opie taking over with Tig. Told him that I'm not going to be a dead beat dad who makes you do everything not even two weeks after giving birth. Also told him that he needs to stop sending me on bullshit errands cause that's not what I do." Happy explained.
"Take it he got the hint to not show up at the house at one in the morning again?" Sutton chuckled practically seeing the steam coming out of Happy's ears.
"Yeah. Fuckin' asshole." Happy mumbled, "Don't know what's gotten into him lately. Shit's been changing. Thought it was just with Clay, but now that he's out, shit isn't getting any better. Don't know how much more bullshit I can handle."
"We'll figure it out baby..." Sutton whispered quietly seeing that Penelope was starting to doze off in her arms, "We always do."
