Chapter 11
The next morning, I am laying there awake and I have barely been to sleep. Gilly hasn't slept either. I just keep crying. "It's going to be okay babe." he tells me. "Boo, what if she finds a way to take our baby?" I ask. "She won't. There's nothing she can do to take our baby from us. I promise." he tells me and I snuggle into him. We just lay there together, him holding me and rubbing his hand up and down my back like he always does to comfort me when there's a knock on the door. "Mija, brother, the lawyer is here." Taza says through the door.
Walking out to the main room, Taza hugs me and asks "Are you okay?" I nod my head yes and say "I will be Papa." as we walk over to the table where Bishop is standing with the lawyer. "Test came back, the baby is Gilly's like we expected." she tells us and I ask "Where do we go from here?" She looks at me and then Gilly and says "I set up a meeting with you two and Megan as well as myself and her lawyer in an hour." she tells us and we nod. "Are you going to be okay to go?" Gilly asks. "I don't want to leave you so yeah." I say.
An hour later, we are sitting at the lawyer's office. Gilly and I on one side with our lawyer next to us and Megan with her lawyer on the other. "Where's Jake?" our lawyer asks. "We haven't been able to find him but I still want custody of the Jake's baby." Megan says. "Well, after doing an amniocentesis, we've determined that the baby isn't Jake's." Our lawyer says. "Doesn't matter. I still want to take custody of the baby." Megan says. "You can't just take custody of a baby. The baby belongs to Jenna and Gilly Lopez and there's nothing that you have that can prove why you should have the baby and they shouldn't." our lawyer says. "I can provide for the baby better." she says. "Jenna has her own business working from home and Gilly has his job at the scrapyard." our lawyer counters. "That's not enough to provide like I can." Megan says. "I also have money put up." I tell her and see Gilly look at me confused. I look at him and say "I actually don't get it until my birthday next month. My grandparents left me some money." I say. "How much?" my lawyer asks. "Just shy of two million." I say. Gilly looks at me a little shocked before composing himself. Megan's lawyer looks at her and says "You don't have a case. If you take this to court you will lose." he tells her. "I don't care. I want that baby. I know it's Jake's. They faked the test." she says before leaving the room.
We get back to the clubhouse and Bishop and the guys ask what happened. "She's still taking us to court for the baby. Said we faked the test." Gilly tells them and I move to the dorm without saying a word. Gilly comes in a few minutes later and I say "I'm sorry I didn't tell you about the money." I tell him. "Babe, I don't care about that. I mean, I wish you would have told me but it's not a big deal. We just have to get ready to go to court." he tells me and I start to sob. "I don't want to look our baby." I say. "And we won't." he tells me. "Trust me babe." he says. "I'm so sorry Boo." I say. He pulls back from me and looks at me confused. "We shouldn't have…" I start and he stops me with a soft kiss. "Don't. We are together because we belong together. We have our churro because we were meant to have our churro. It will be okay babe. I promise." he says and I nod as he holds me close.
