Chapter 8
It's been three months since that night at Vickie's and things have been getting better. Sitting at the bar with Angel next to me, Chucky puts plates in front of us and I can't even look at the food. "You okay Mi Reina?" Angel asks. "Yeah. Just not hungry." I say but don't look at him. He stands up and takes my hand before leading me back to our dorm. Closing the door, he asks "What are you not telling me?" I move out of his grasp and say "Please don't be mad." He looks at me concerned and says "What it is?" I don't look at him but say "I'm late." It takes a second to click and he asks "How late?" I wipe the tear that falls and say "A month." He pulls me to him and kisses me softly and says "Let's get you to the doc." I look at him and ask "You aren't mad?" He smiles wide and says "No Mi Reina. I'm not mad. We been going at it like jackrabbits since we met. Surprised it took this long." he tells me and I release the breath I was holding.
We walk out of the dorm and out of the clubhouse and to the truck. Pulling up at the doctor's office, I still haven't said anything. Walking in, he tells the nurse, "We need to see the doctor." She nods before leading us to an exam room. "What seems to be the problem today?" the doctor asks. "I'm late and need a pregnancy test." I say softly. "Okay Miss…" she starts, looking at the chart. "Reyes." Angel says. I look at him confused. "Tristan Reyes." Angel repeats. "Mrs Reyes, let's draw some blood and we'll see what's going on and if it comes back positive we'll see how far along you are." she says and I nod my head. The nurse draws my blood and leaves the room with the doctor. I look at Angel and he says "I already planned on marrying you. I want to marry you as soon as possible." he says and like he can read my mind. "Not because you're pregnant." he says kissing me softly. "Will you?" he asks. "I will Mi Rey." He kisses me one more time before the doctor comes back in. "Looks like you are pregnant. Now let's see how far along you are." she says before pulling an ultrasound machine over to me. Putting the wand on my stomach, she moves it around and we hear the heartbeat and I see Angel smile. Moving it around a little more we see our baby on the screen. "Looks like you're six weeks along. Congratulations." she tells us. Handing us the ultrasound pictures, she leaves us to get my next appointment set up and my vitamins. I look at Angel and he's looking at the pictures. He looks up at me and smiles. "We're having a kid." he says. "Yeah. We are." I say smiling softly. He pulls me to him and says again "We're having a fucking kid." I laugh as he picks me up and kisses me deeply. "Let's head to the courthouse right now." he says and I look at him shocked. "I'm serious. You want to marry me?" he asks. "I do." I say. "Then let's go get fucking married Mrs Reyes." he says and I can't help but laugh.
An hour later, we are pulling up at his father's house. Getting out of the car, we walk into the house and find Filipe in his recliner. Angel says "Got something to tell you Pop." Angel says as he comes over to hug us. "What's that? Everything okay?" Filipe asks. "Wanted you to be the first to know. Me and Mi Reina are pregnant." Angel says. "Congratulations Mija." he says as he hugs me again. "Thank you Filipe." I say. "That's not all. I made an honest woman of her. Got married about an hour ago." he tells his father and he hugs us both again. Filipe tells us to wait there and heads to his bedroom. Walking out a couple of minutes later, he hands a small box to Angel. Opening the box, he sees a woman's wedding set and a man's wedding ring. "Pop?" Angel asks. "These belonged to me and your mother. They were her grandmother's before that." he tells us. Angel takes the rings out of the box and puts the wedding set on my finger and they fit perfect before I put the wedding band on his finger. Hugging Filipe again after talking to him for a bit, we head to the clubhouse to tell the club.
Walking into the clubhouse, we walk up to the bar and Angel tells Chucky to pour everyone shots. "Come on everybody. We gotta celebrate." They all come over to get the shots and Bishop asks "What are we celebrating?" Angel holds up the shot and says "We're celebrating my knocking up mi esposa." he says and they all look at us shocked. "Oh, did we forget to tell you? We got married too." Everyone congratulates us and the shots start flowing. EZ hugs me and then Angel and ask "Pop know?" Angel says "Was our first stop, Uncle Zeek." They both laugh and hug again. I look around at the family that took me in, no questions asks. I look at Coco and ask "You gonna be Padrino?" He looks at me and smiles and says "Hell yeah." before hugging me and I realize I could not be happier.
