Chapter 10
I wake up the next morning feeling Gilly's arms wrapped around me and his hands on my stomach and can't help but smile. I feel him start to stir and I turn in his arms. Kissing me softly, he asks "How are you feeling?" I snuggle closer to him and say "I'm okay Boo." and feel him hold me tighter. "I was so scared." he tells me. I look up at him and he says "That we were going to lose Churro." he tells me. "I know. I was scared too. I was praying that I was doing enough to protect the baby." I tell him. Cupping my face, he kisses me softly and says "You did good Mama. You protected our kid. I will never be able to thank you for that." he tells me. "Boo, this is my baby too. You'll protect me right?" I ask and he nods. "I'll protect you and our Churro." I tell him and he kisses me deeply. I whisper against his lips "I need you Gilly." He hovers over me and we start to shed clothes. Entering me slowly, he makes love to me nice and slow and I find release after release before finding his own inside me. Still hovering over me, he whispers "I love you." I smile softly and whisper "I love you."
We get up and out of bed to get ready for our day. "I want you to hang at the clubhouse today." he tells me. "Okay." I tell him. "He's handled but until I know you're okay, I want you close." he says as he pulls me close to him. "Okay Boo." I tell him. Kissing me softly, we head out the door and to my car.
Waking into the clubhouse, we head to the bar and Gilly asks Chucky to get me some breakfast. He heads to the kitchen to make me a plate. I look at Gilly and he kisses me softly. "You okay?" he asks. "Yeah. Just a little sore still." I tell him. He look at me worried and I say "It's not bad. I'll tell you if it is." He nods and when Letti walks up he asks "Can you stay close?" She nods and takes the seat next to me. Gilly kisses me and head out to the yard to work.
"What are we going to do all day?" I ask. "We could make a list of what you'll need for the baby." she says. "Good idea." I say and we start making that list. "Wanna go get lunch?" I ask. "Sure." she says and we head out the door. Walking up to Gilly I say "We're going to the diner." He hands me some cash and says "Take the Prospect." I nod and kiss him before we head out.
Pulling up to the diner, we go inside and eat. Walking out, I hear my name being called. "Jenna?" I turn around and face the woman calling my name. "Megan." I say flatly. "Have you seen Jake?" she asks. "No I haven't." I say and turn to leave. "That his kid?" she asks seeing my barely there baby bump. I turn back and say "No it's not." I tell her. "He told me it was." she says. "Well, he was wrong." I say and the Prospect moves closer. "We'll see. He said it's his and we've already got the papers in motion to take the baby from you. He said he wanted to marry me and me raise the baby with him." she tells me smirking. I stand tall and say again "This baby isn't his. It belongs to my husband. I never slept with Jake." I tell her. "Well, either way, we'll have that baby." she says before walking away. I look at EZ and he says "Head back to the clubhouse. I'm right behind you." I nod and do what he says.
Pulling up to the clubhouse, Letti driving, I get out of the car and as soon as Gilly sees me, he sees something's wrong. As soon as he gets to me, I wrap my arms around his neck and start to sob. "Hey. What's wrong babe?" he asks and I don't respond. "Woman came up to her. Megan. Said her ex was saying the baby is his and that they have papers filed to take the baby from her." EZ says. Gilly cups my face and says "They're not going to get our Churro. I promise." Gilly tells me and I start to sob harder.
After we get inside, Bishop calls the lawyer and we are sitting with her now. "Is there any chance that this baby belongs to this Jake guy?" she asks. "No. I never slept with him and we were already broken up and I was with Gilly before I got pregnant." I tell her. "Good. Now they can do an amniocentesis to determine the paternity. Are you willing to do that?" I ask. "Will it hurt the baby?" I ask. "There is a small chance but for the most part, it's pretty routine." she tells us. I look at Gilly and he says "It's up to you babe but I'll back you no matter what." I nod and say "We'll do it." I tell her.
An hour later, we are at the doctor and she does the mouth swabs for me and Gilly and says "We know who the father is but I have to tell you that the results will be in tomorrow." We nod and head out to the clubhouse to stay until we know what our next step is.
