Chapter 8
A little later, the nurse comes in with the ultrasound machine. "Now that you're awake, your husband thought you would want to see the baby so that you could see that it's okay." she tells me. "Thank you." I tell her and I look at Gilly and he kisses me softly. She puts the gel on my stomach and the the wand and moves it around. We hear the heartbeat and I put my hand over my mouth to muffle my sobs. She moves the wand around a little more and says "You're measuring at eight weeks now and the baby is just fine." I see the baby on the screen and Gilly says "See. Churro is just fine." The nurse laughs and says "Churro? That's so cute." and we both smile. She leaves us alone and Gilly puts his hand on my stomach and puts his forehead to mine. "You did good babe. You protected the baby. You're already an amazing mom." he tells me. "What happened to him?" I ask. He looks up at me but stays close and whispers "Galindo let us borrow the pew. He left a little...broken up." he tells me and I know that means in pieces. "Good. Thank you Gilly." I tell him. Cupping my face he says "I will always protect you and our kid. I promise." he tells me.
That evening, they release me to go home. Sitting on the couch, he says "Bishop is having the lawyer meet us at the courthouse in the morning with the marriage license and a Justice." he tells me. "Okay boo." I say as I snuggle into him. He tilts my chin up to look at him and asks "You okay?" I nod and say "I just...I love you Gilly." I tell him. "I love you too babe. What is it?" he asks. I sit up and look at him for a second before straddling him. I cup his face and say "I just don't want you to ever think I don't." I tell him. Smiling softly he says "I know you love me. I love you too but what brought this on?" he asks. "Just all that shit with Jake. He was trying to weasel his way back in and I don't want you to think I was even thinking about it." I tell him. "Babe, don't worry about that shit. I knew you didn't want to be back with him. I've never doubted you for a second. Not even when we were just friends." he tells me. I look at him and smirk "Were we ever really just friends?" I ask and he laughs and says "Guess not." before kissing me softly. He picks me up, my legs going around his waist and he carries me to bed. Laying me down, we spend the rest of the night making love before falling asleep with my back to him and his hand on my stomach.
The next morning, we wake up and head to the diner before heading to the courthouse. While we eat, he keeps looking at me. "Do I have something on my face?" I ask. "Just looking at my fiance. Can't believe before the end of the day you're gonna be my wife." he says. "I know. I can't wait. Now, let's eat so we can go." I tell him. "You in a hurry to get married?" he asks. "That but really in a hurry to get the honeymoon started. I'm not letting you out of the bed." I tell him and he starts laughing. "I take it the hormones are kicking in?" he asks. "Oh yeah. You're gonna enjoy this pregnancy." I tell him and he looks at me seriously. "I love you." he says. I smile wide and say "I love you too." before we finish eating and head to the courthouse.
After we exchange vows, I am introduced as Mrs Jenna Lopez. We head to the clubhouse to celebrate and Gilly made sure that Taza was there to give me away. "Thank you for being there Pop." I say. "I wouldn't have missed it." he tells me smiling. Gilly pulls me close and we see the same two Reaper men walk in. "Hey guys." Gilly says as he greets them. "Hear congrats are in order." Quinn says. "Got married a little while ago." Gilly says. "Good. Wedding gift from Samcro." Happy says and he hands us an envelope. Looking inside there had to have been at least ten grand in there. "Thank you guys." I say and hug them. "How's the Churro doing? Heard you got a little banged up." Quinn asks. "The Churro is just fine. Thanks for asking." I tell them and they both smile. Gilly takes the money and puts it in the safe in our dorm there and when he comes back out, there's a hang around watching me. He walks up and kisses me hard and when we come up for air, he looks over at the hang around who just walks away. "He was watching you." he tells me. "Let him watch. I belong to you." I tell him. "Fuck yeah you do Mrs Lopez." he says before claiming my lips again and showing everyone there who's woman I am.
