Chapter 1
"How was my boy?" Angel asks as he walks in the door. "Perfect as always." I tell him. He takes his son, Mateo, from me. "You should have enough bottles in the fridge to get you until I get here in the morning. All you have to do is put them in the bottle warmer for 60 seconds. He's been changed, had a bath and just finished eating so you should be good for a bit." I tell him. "Gracia Amy. I don't know what I would do without you." he tells me. "No problem. I'll see you in the morning Angel." I tell him before heading out the door.
I walk into my front door and pop a pizza in the oven before hitting the shower. After eating, and showering, I head to my work room to get some items made on the sewing machine. I check the website and then get some orders ready to ship out on the way to Angel's in the morning. I finally hit the bed about 1am and I don't have to be up until seven.
Waking up the next morning, I get dressed and head to Angel's house. I walk in the front door and hear Mateo crying. "Hey." I say. "Thank fuck. He won't stop crying." he tells me. "Did you change him?" I ask. "Yeah. And fed him. And he burped." he tells me. "Let me have him." I tell him and he hands the one month old to me. I move to the kitchen chair and sit. Laying him across my legs, on his stomach. I start to bounce him. After a couple of minutes, he lets out a loud burp and stops crying. "How the hell did you do that?" he asks. "Even if he burps, he still has a little gas. Just lay him on his stomach and bounce him and pat his back. It should help. I'll go by the store today and get him some gas drops to help." I tell him. He leans down and kisses my cheek and says "You are a saint mi dulce." I smile softly and say "Nah. Just love kids." I tell him.
Angel leaves and I have Mateo snuggled against me. "You giving papi a hard time little one?" I ask Mateo and he just looks at me. I put him in his carrier and head out to get a few things that Angel needs for him before heading to the clubhouse. I pull up and Hank sees me getting out of the car. "Hola Princesa." he says. "Hey Hank. Can you grab the box out of the passenger seat?" I ask and he nods. He gets the box and I get the carrier and we head inside. The guys start eating the lunch I brought them while I am feeding the baby and the guys look at me smiling. "What?" I ask. "You're going to make an amazing mom someday." Bishop tells me. I shake my head and say "It's not like it's hard. He's a pretty easy kid." I tell them as I look down at him and Angel says "He is but I'd still be lost without you helping with him." I nod and say "It's not a problem. I like spending time with him." I tell him. "I'm going to head to my house and get some work done while he naps. Is that cool?" I ask. "Yeah. I'll come by and get him when I get done here." he tells me. "Okay. See you then." I tell him and he nods before kissing my cheek.
I put Mateo in his carrier and grab the diaper bag and walk out to the car. Angel walks me out and I put the carrier in the car. "Thank again mi dulce. I meant what I said. I couldn't do this without you." he tells me. "Angel, I'd do anything for you and Mateo. I hope you know that." I tell him. "I do novia." he tells me before kissing my cheek again. "I'll see you later." he tells me and I nod before getting into the car and heading to my house.
I get home and have gotten some things done and there's a knock on my door. I have Mateo in my arms, feeding him when I open the door and Angel walks in. "How's he doing?" He asks. "Good. He's been awake for a bit. He's been good." I tell him. "Good." he says as he sits down on the couch and I sit beside him. He puts his arm around me and pulls me into his side. "You've been a lifesaver for me. I was so scared that I was gonna fuck things up for him." he tells me. "You're a good dad. Trust me. No one knows everything about being a parent Angel. It's something you gotta figure out as you go." I tell him. "You seem to have it down." he tells me as he looks down at me looking down at his son. "He makes it easy." I tell him.
Angel stands up and says "I better get him home." he tells me. I hand Mateo to him and he puts him in the carrier while I get his things in the diaper bag. Handing him the bag, I tell him "I made up some bottles. You should be good until morning." I tell him. "Thanks again Princesa." he says before kissing my cheek and we head to the door. "Before I forget. We gotta head out on a run. Leaving in the morning. Can you keep him at the clubhouse while we're gone?" he asks. "Yeah. I'll pack a bag for a couple of days and bring with me in the morning. Do you need me to bring the bassinet?" I ask. "Nah. We got one in my dorm at the clubhouse." he tells me. "Okay. I can move it to the one I'll be in." I tell him and he nods. "Night Princesa." he tells me. "Good night Angel." I tell him before he walks out the door and I close up and lock the door.
