Chapter 11
***Twenty Weeks Pregnant***
Angel and I are sitting in the waiting room, waiting on my name to be called. Once called, we move to a room after getting my vitals and weight. The doctor comes in and measures my stomach before moving the ultrasound machine over. "You ready to see your little one?" she asks and we nod our heads yes. She puts the cool gel on my stomach before putting the wand against my stomach and moving it around. We hear the little whump whump of the heartbeat and Angel just smiles, eyes never leaving the screen. Then we see our baby on the screen and his smile goes wide. "Would you like to know the sex?" the doctor asks. "Yeah." we say together. She moves the wand around a little more and says "Looks like you're having a little girl." I look at Angel and he kisses me hard and says "Our little princesa." and I can't help but smile.
After the doctor, we go to the clubhouse and as soon as we walk in, EZ asks "Well?" We start laughing and Angel says "Stack up on ammo brothers. We're getting a princesa." he says and they all start cheering. A little later, we are at Felipe's, having dinner. "How did your appointment go mija?" he asks. "Good. I'm doing good and so is your granddaughter." I tell him and his eyes go wide before he hugs me and Angel, congratulating us. When we sit back down, he asks "Have you thought of names?" Angel says "Not yet." I speak up and say "I have." They look at me and I look down at my plate and say "Marisol Corrine." They look at me and Angel asks "After mom?" I nod and he lifts my chin and places a soft kiss on my lips and says "It's perfect mi vida." I look at him and he has tears in his eyes. I look at EZ and Felipe and hear Felipe say "Thank you." and all I can do is nod.
After dinner, we go home and as soon as I sit on the couch, Angel kneels in front of me and I look at him confused. Laying his head in my lap, against my stomach, he kisses my stomach. "Te quiero Marisol." and she kicks him. He looks up at me and smiles. "Thank you mi amor." he tells me as he moves to sit beside me. "For what?" I ask. "Naming her after ma." he says. "I was afraid you wouldn't want that as her name." I tell him, looking down at my stomach. "Why's that?" he asks. "I know how hard it was for you and EZ to lose her. I didn't know if you would want our daughter named after her." I tell him. Tilting my chin up like he did at Felipe's, he kisses me softly and says "I love it and I love you and Marisol. You are so fucking perfect mi vida." he tells me and I smile softly. "I love you too Angel.
The next day, we are at the clubhouse and he's working in the yard with EZ inside the clubhouse with me. He sits next to me and sees me looking down at my stomach, rubbing it. "Are you okay?" he asks. I look up at him and smile. "I don't think I have ever been better. EZ, less than a year ago, I was skipping meals and crying every night because I thought I loved someone that didn't love me back but...then your brother...he...he...he loves me and now we're married and having a little girl. I never thought I would have this and...your brother gave me everything I ever wanted." I say the end softly. "That's good though." he tells me. Look back up at him and say "It is. I never thought I could love someone this much. What did I do to get this lucky?" I ask and before he could answer, we hear Angel say "I ask myself that question every day mi vida." before kneeling in front of me. "You really mean what you said?" he asks. I cup his face and place a soft kiss to his lips before saying "With all my heart." He kisses me one more time and I feel a good hard kick from Marisol and pull back. "You okay?" Angel asks, concerned. I take his hand and put it to my stomach and say "Just your daughter wanting our attention." He leans down to my stomach and says "Take it easy on mami, pequena." before kissing my stomach and then kissing me softly and I have never been happier in my life.
