Chapter 13
It's been two weeks and we haven't seen hide or hair of Megan but Gilly still doesn't want me to be alone and I don't blame him. I don't want to be alone either. I have a doctor's appointment today and he's taken off work to take me. I'm twelve weeks pregnant now and starting to show a little. Sitting in the waiting room, waiting to be called back, Gilly by my side, he holds my hand and kisses my knuckles, sensing my anxiety. I fight off the tears by taking a deep breath. The woman across from me asks "Are you alright honey?" I nod and say "Just my anxiety." I tell her. She reaches across and touches my knee and says "Whatever it is, it will work itself out." she tells me and I now. "Thank you." Gilly says to her as I wipe the tear that escaped from my cheek.
Once we're called back, they take my vital and take me back to a room. The doctor comes in and asks "How have you been?" I shake my head and Gilly speaks for me. "Her anxiety is up. She's eating but she's barely sleeping and can't stop crying." he tells her. "What's been going on?" she asks and there's not an ounce of judgement in ber voice. "The guy she dated before me, his girlfriend took us to court trying to take the baby from us. It's had her a little overwhelmed." Gilly says. "Well, your blood pressure is little higher than I would like it but I can understand why. I want you on bedrest for at least a couple of weeks but first we'll do an ultrasound and just make sure the Churro is okay." she says. She knows about our nickname for the baby. She moves the machine over and puts the gel on my stomach as Gilly takes my hand. She puts the wand on my stomach and I hold my breath until I hear our little one's heartbeat. "Gilly." I say as squeeze his hand. He leans down and kisses me and says "Churro is okay." I nod and she moves it a little more and we see the baby on the screen. Kissing the top of my head he keeps his head against mine and she tells us "Churro is doing just fine. I still want you on bedrest and I want you back in two weeks to check in. If you start feeling anything that doesn't feel right come back in." she tells us and we nod. She walks out of the room and Gilly kisses me deeply and says "See, the kid is fine. Now, you have to be on bedrest so…" he starts and I cut him off "Can I be on bedrest at the clubhouse so I'm not alone?" I ask and he nods. "Yeah babe. We'll go get you some things but that means you can't work for a little while." he tells me. "That's fine. I can take some time off." I tell him.
We go get some things and then to the clubhouse. Walking inside, Taza walks up "You okay mija?" he asks. "I will be." I tell him. "Churro is okay but she has to be on bedrest for a couple of weeks and wants to be here on bedrest." Gilly says. "We got you mija." Taza says. "Thanks Papa." I tell him. I look at Gilly and say "I think I'm going to go lay down." I tell him and he looks at me and says "I'll be right there." I nod and head to the dorm. When I walk away, he tells Taza "I know that look. Her depression is getting bad." Bishop walks up, hearing this and says "Go take care of your wife and kid brother. We can handle shit. Just take care of your family." Gilly nods his thanks and heads to the dorm.
When Gilly walks into the room, I am laying on the bed, my back to the door, rubbing my stomach. Gilly lays down behind me and wraps his arm around me. Whispering "I got you babe." I turn to face him and snuggle into him and say "I love you Boo." I look up at him and say "Never forget that." I tell him. He looks at me concerned and cups my face "Don't do that. Nothing is going to happen to you or Churro. I promise." he says before kissing me softly. I look at him and say "I can't do this Gilly." I tell him. "Listen to me. You are fucking amazing. Do you hear me? You're strong and fierce and you are my wife. My Old Lady and Mami to My kid. You and Churro are the best things to ever happen to me and I will spend the rest of my life showing you." he tells me. I caress his face and say "I love you so much." Kissing me softly, he pulls me into his chest and rubs my back until I fall asleep. Once I fall asleep, he kisses my temple before slipping out. Walking up to the bar, he sees Bishop and says "I want that bitch fucking dead."
