Chapter 76 - Perfect Guy

Sutton's cheeks were turning bright ride from holding back laughter as Happy stared down Jake who was still smirking at him from his seat by the island counter. She knew that he didn't have a problem with gay people, or anyone for that matter as long as they didn't mess with him or his family, but it was just more awkward for him than anything, and Sutton could tell.

"Alright, alright..." Sutton laughed, "As much as I love seeing him squirm, I think you should play nice now." Sutton spoke to Jake, causing Happy to narrow his eyes towards Sutton.

"Sorry man, had to mess with you." Jake stated to Happy with an apologetic smile, "Sutton told me that you're pretty intimidating, and she wanted to see if I could shake you up a bit." Jake explained causing Happy to roll his eyes towards Sutton.

Sutton couldn't help the chuckle that escaped as she adjusted Julian in her arms, and then glanced back to Jake, "Thanks for throwing me under the bus."

"Girl, you would have done the same thing." Jake scoffed playfully.

Happy just shook his head, still trying to wake up as he moved to get more coffee and realized that Jake was definitely not what he expected. He was more masculine looking than he expected, but had a lot of feminine qualities to him as well.

"Hey Hap, Jake and I were thinking about going to dinner tonight to catch up. Would you be okay watching the kids?" Sutton questioned a few moments later as he woke up a little.

"Where?" Happy questioned lowly as he wrapped an arm around her and then bent down to kiss Julian's forehead.

Happy thought it over for a moment and knew that Jake being in town was the perfect opportunity to get Sutton out of the house for a little bit without having to worry about the kids and staying cooped up.

"Don't see why not." Happy stated, "Just got to run to the garage to get my schedule for next week, and pick up my check. Want to get it cashed before the banks close." Happy explained since it was a Saturday and the bank wouldn't be open all day.

"Alright." Sutton smiled up at him, "I'll pump so you don't have to worry about formula." Sutton added as she moved to stand up and passed Julian to Happy.

Jake chuckled, "Girl, after two kids your boobs are bigger than cantalopes. If I were a woman I'd be damn jealous."

Happy's eyes instantly narrowed with his jaw tensing quickly, "Oh chill out. He's gay. He likes dick not vagina." Happy heard Sutton's voice and couldn't help but to choke on his coffee.

"I'm going upstairs. I'll put the kid in the swing." Happy stated not letting either of them get a word out while they were laughing as he walked into the living room.

The tattooed man quickly realized that he was going to see a different side of Sutton that he hadn't really seen since she didn't have friends around Charming, and knew that it would take some getting use to with Jake's comments and realizing he was gay.

Once Julian was secure in his little swing, Happy disappeared upstairs, leaving Sutton and Jake in the kitchen cackling like hens.

Sutton had been so thankful that Jake had shown up that morning, because the truth was, she could use some time away from the normal 'charming' crew, which consisted of Happy and Tig, and anyone who wore leather. She had always gotten along well with Jake, and loved being his room-mate in college, because they had so much fun.

"You're seriously going to pump right here?" Jake asked with a scrunched face, and then ran a hand over his dark hair, "I don't know if I want to watch or turn away." Jake added causing Sutton to laugh.

"It's not like you haven't seen my boobs before. Besides, it's a pain in the ass lugging everything upstairs when I have to come back down and put the bottles in the fridge." Sutton explained as she moved her shirt to put on the machine to begin pumping.

Jake acted like watching Sutton using the breast pump machine was the closest thing to seeing God himself walk across water, "On a serious note, you two make some cute ass babies." Jake stated looking to Penelope who was trying trotting around after Vito.

"I think so too." Sutton smiled, "They both have Hap wrapped around their fingers. It's the cutest thing ever."

"There's always something about a man with tattooes holding babies." Jake fanned himself causing Sutton to smirk and nod her head in agreement.

"Speaking of babies, are you and Tom going to think about adopting babies?" Sutton questioned, "I mean, you've guys have been together since college practically."

Sutton watched as Jake shrugged his shoulders, "We've talked about it a few times but we want to figure out where we want to live for sure before we go down that route." Jake explained.

"That makes sense. I kind of wish that we would have picked some where different to live." Sutton commented, "I mean, I love the small town vibe, but at the same time I kind of wish it were somewhere colder." Sutton laughed.

"Why don't you guys move to Colorado?" Jake questioned.

Sutton couldn't help but let out a little laugh as she finished pumping and then turned the machine off, "I wish it were that simple sometimes. Hap has ties here and it's not so easy for us to just move away like that. Well, not easy for him." Sutton explained and heard Happy's heavy foot steps approaching as she adjusted her top.

Happy walked into the kitchen and spotted the bottles of milk, "I was thinking, why don't you guys go out to lunch, go shopping or something? Make a day of it." Happy spoke lowly to Sutton, "I know how much you want out of the house."

Sutton raised an eyebrow up at him, "Are you sure?"

"Girl, a shopping trip? Your ass better go get in the shower." Jake stated causing Happy to nod his head in agreement.

Sutton had finally agreed and decided to head upstairs to shower and get ready for the day while Happy kept Jake and the kids entertained.

By the time Sutton and Jake had left, Happy had gotten ahold of Tig to see if he wanted to hang out with him at the house while Sutton and Jake were gone. He had to admit that he had over heard Sutton talking about wishing they lived somewhere colder, and wanted more than anything to give that to her, but he knew he couldn't.

Running a hand down his face he was laying on the couch with Julian on his chest and Penelope tucked in on his side with her back against the couch watching a movie on TV when Tig pulled into the driveway.

The tattooed man was thankful that Tig had a key to the house since he was trapped under two kids and let himself in and then shut the door behind him.

"Where's Sutton?" Tig questioned looking around, "I was hoping she'd feed me." Tig grumbled as he plopped down in the chair.

"Her friend Jake came to town. They went out shopping and to eat lunch." Happy explained, "There's food in the kitchen. Help yourself." Happy gestured towards the kitchen behind him, "Just don't eat those steaks. I'm going to cook them tonight for dinner." Happy added as he focused his attention back on the TV.

Happy had to admit to himself that he was thankful that Sutton had decided to not do dinner with Jake, but instead invited him to eat there later that night. He knew that he was being over-protective and it was killing him to not text her to make sure she was alright, but she had promised that if anything happened that she would call him right away. He knew that she understood the threats that could pop up, and promised to be as careful as possible while she was out, and he knew that he couldn't keep her locked away forever.

"It's killin' ya isn't it?" Tig questioned as he walked back in the kitchen with a plate full of food, "It's written all over your face." Tig added as he sat down.

"Just hate that things can't be normal." Happy stated, "Don't like worrying about her being in danger without me there." Happy added.

"Can't keep her locked up forever." Tig commented with a mouth full of food, "She's a smart girl. She knows what to do if shit happens." Tig added.

"I know. I still don't have to like it though." Happy grumbled, "Now shut up and pay attention to the movie."

Later that afternoon, when Sutton returned she had to admit that she was exhausted from walking around the mall all morning, and she missed her babies. She had been extremely grateful to get out of the house for a little while, and was able to buy some new clothes since she was losing the baby weight and had gotten some stuff for the kids and Happy as well.

She wasn't surprised that Happy had already started to prepare the food the moment she had text him to say that they were on their way back to the house, and had given her an update on the kids.

"I need to start working out again." Sutton grumbled as she walked into the house with Jake right behind her, helping her with the bags, "I can't believe how tired I am."

"Girl, you just popped out a baby not even three weeks ago." Jake shook his head, "When can you start working out again?" Jake questioned as they dropped the bags off in the living room.

Sutton shrugged off her leather jacket and bent over to tie her hair into a high pony tail, "I have to wait six to eight weeks depending how I'm healing. I think I want to try out Yoga once I get my energy back."

"I did a few classes a few months ago. Don't see how anyone can relax in those intense ass poses." Jake shook his head, "Damn, it smells good in here." Jake added, "All that shopping made me hungry."

Sutton agreed and headed towards the kitchen to see Penelope in her high chair with Tig holding Julian while Happy was attempting to make a salad, causing Sutton to chuckle as she approached him.

"It smells good." Sutton stated as Happy leaned down to kiss her, "How were the kids?" Sutton questioned, moving to kiss Penelope's head and then moved to pick up Julian and held him. "Oh, Tig, this is Jake. Jake this is Tig." Sutton introduced the two men.

"What is up with these dudes names?" Jake joked.

"His real name is Alexander." Sutton added causing Tig to glare at her.

"How was shopping?" Happy questioned as he walked towards Sutton and wrapped his arms around her.

"Good. Really good." Sutton smiled, "Thanks by the way." Sutton whispered.

Happy shook his head, "You look exhausted." Happy commented as he kissed the top of her head.

"I am." Sutton chuckled, "My feet hurt too." Sutton added, "How long until dinner? We had an early lunch and we're starving."

"Just have to grill the steaks, got some chicken for you too." Happy explained and patted her butt, "Made you that pasta stuff too."

"God, I knew I loved you for a reason." Sutton teased, "Need any help with anything?" Sutton questioned and watched as Happy shook his head.

"Go sit down, we can handle this. Just take the kids with you. P thinks cooking time is play time, talk about a difficult task." Happy shook his head with a laugh.

Jake grabbed Penelope from the high chair and followed Sutton into the living room with Julian, "I need to teach Tom to be like that."

Sutton chuckled as she sat down on the couch and got comfortable and noticed that Vito was trying to dig through the bags from the mall as Jake sat down on the end of the couch with Penelope, and both put their feet on the coffee table and took the time to relax with the babies.

A/N: Another odd place to stop, but I wanted to get this chapter out.
