Chapter 7
I wake up the next morning and Angel is still sleeping. I lay there looking at him and see just how beautiful he is. I slip out of bed and start the coffee before going and sitting on the back deck and just think. I have a man that loves me and wants to marry me. A man that I love so fucking much. I'm out there for a little while before I hear the sliding glass door open and he sits behind me, his legs on each side of me. I feel his arms wrap around me and I lean back into him. "Good morning my Angel." I say. "Good morning mi amor. Are you okay?" he asks softly in my ear. "Yeah. Just sitting here thinking." I tell him. He leans his head around to look at me a little and I say "Nothing bad. Just thinking about how happy I am." I tell him and he places soft kisses to my neck and shoulder. "I make you happy?" he asks. "Yeah. You do. Angel I don't remember ever feeling this happy and loved. I know you love me. There's no doubts or fears with you. Just this feeling of being free and happy." I tell him. "That's what I want. I want you happy and safe." he tells me. "You know what else I want?" I ask and he looks at me. "To be your wife and mother of your kids." I tell him. "I think we can make that happen." he tells me and I lean back into him.
After a little while, we are sitting on the back deck still, in the same spot as before, when we hear the doorbell. "I got it amor." Angel says. He walks inside and after a few minutes, he hasn't come back so I step inside and see her. "Angel?" I ask. He turns to me and I see a woman standing there holding a baby. "Who's this?" I ask. "Adelita." she says and I pull away from Angel but he stops me. "Baby…" he starts and I shake my head no. "Are you going back to her?" I ask softly. "No. I'm not. That's not why she's here." he says and I look at him confused. "What do you want?" I ask as Angel pulls me closer. "I can't take care of him. I asked Angel to take him." she says. I look at Angel and nod and he invites her in. "What, so you want him to take the baby so you still have something over him?" I ask. "No. I followed you from the clubhouse. I know Angel doesn't want to be with me but I can't take care of the baby. What I do is too dangerous. I want Angel to take him and adopt him." she says. I look at Angel and he's looking at me. I stand up and say "He does this, it's done our way." I tell her and she looks at me and nods. "You sign over all of your rights to him and me and Angel adopt him. You don't come to see him, you don't ask about him. You do what you have to do for your cause and go on with your life like he and Angel don't exist. I won't have you jumping in and out of his life fucking his head up. We do this, he's our son." I tell her. "Understood. I just don't want him hurt in what I do." she tells us. "Leave him with us and we can get the papers. You'll have to be there to sign the papers but we can make it somewhere so that you will be safe." I tell her and she nods. "He has diapers and some formula in here." she says and hands us the bag. "What's his name?" I ask. "Mateo Jameson." she tells me and I nod.
After she leaves, I'm holding Mateo and Angel is just looking at us. "What?" I ask. "You took him no questions asked." I tell him. "I want a big family Angel and he needs parents that will choose him. She chose her cause over her son. That's not right." I tell him. "I know babe. Shit. We have a kid." he tells me and I smile softly. I look up at him and he says "I'll call Bishop and get everything set up." I nod and say "I'll call Carla and get her to help me get what we need for him." I tell him and he nods. I pick up my phone and hold it between my shoulder and ear and ask "Hey Carla. Can you come over? I need your help with something." I say and she says she'll be there.
A little later, Carla walks in and sees me sitting there holding a baby and Gilly walks in behind her. "Who's baby?" she asks and we hear Gilly say "Is that?" and Angel nods. Carla looks at him and then me confused. "His name is Mateo Jameson. Angel's ex, Adelita, came by here talking about she wanted Angel to take him and adopt him because she didn't want him getting hurt in the things she was doing for her cause." I tell them and Gilly says "She just wants a way to stay around you, Angel." I shake my head and say "No. I made sure of that. Told her if Angel takes him, we do it our way. That we adopt him and we raise him and she's no longer in his life. She walks away from him and doesn't see him or know anything about him. That the minute she leaves him with us, he no longer exists to her and neither does Angel." I tell him and he smirks. "Smart girl." and Angel smiles and says "That she is." Carla looks at me and says "So what now?" Angel speaks up and says "I have Bishop getting with the club lawyer to get a marriage license and the adoption papers ready along with the papers for her to sign over her rights to him." Carla looks at me and I say "I need you to help me get what we need for him." She smiles wide and says "Baby shopping it is." and you hear me and her laugh along with Angel and Gilly groans.
