Chapter 9
Waking up the next morning, we get up and start getting dressed for the day. "I want to go to Vickie's. Tell her the good news." I tell him. "We can go tonight. Guys wanna head over there tonight anyway." he tells me and I nod. Walking out to the main room, Chucky puts a plate of food in front of me and there's nothing on there that was there the day before. This time, it's fresh fruit with orange juice. I look up at him. "You were a little sick at the food yesterday so I thought you'd like to try something that won't upset the little one." I lean across the bar and kiss his cheek and say "Thank you Chucky." He smiles and says "De Nada." before walking away to clean up more. I eat the fruit and it completely hits the spot. "Oh my God this is so good." I say and Angel just laughs. "Don't laugh. This is the only thing that hasn't made me want to puke all week." I tell him. Kissing my temple, he says "Long as you're feeding my kid it's all good." I start laughing and finish off my fruit and my juice. Chucky comes over and takes my plate and cup. "You want more?" he asks. "No. Thanks though. That hit the spot." I tell him and he smiles and nods before walking away.
That evening, we pack a bag and head to Vickie's. Instead of the bike, we take his truck. Pulling up to the house, Vickie walks out to greet us. "Something wrong with your bike Angel?" she asks. "Nah. Tris can't ride." he tells her and she looks at us confused. We walk inside and once we get to the living room he tells her. "We got married yesterday." she looks at us shocked and congratulates us. "That's no reason for her to not be able to ride." she tells us and sees him with his arms around me from behind and his hands on my stomach and she gasps. "Really?" she asks. I nod my head yes and she pulls me from Angel and into a hug. "Congrats Mija. I'm so happy for you." she tells me. "You going to be Madrina?" I ask. She smiles and says "Of course." before hugging me again.
A little later, Angel's phone rings. He gets up and takes my hand and pulls me outside to answer it. "Hello?" he asks as he answers. "Yeah...bringing more tomorrow...okay...we'll have one more with us...my wife." he says and after a couple of minutes he says "You want us to keep helping you...she's with me...I don't care...okay...later." he says ending the call. "Who was that?" I ask. He pulls me out to the gazebo in the backyard. Pulling me into his lap he says "That was a woman named Adelita. She's the leader of the Rebels. We've been helping her with her mission. She's wanting to partner up with Galindo and try to find peace between her people and his." he tells me. "Why didn't she want me there?" I ask. "Before you came along, she and I were getting close. She decided she didn't want to complicate things and I respected that. Then I met you." he tells me. "Were you in love with her?" I ask. "I thought I was for a while. Then I met you and shit became real clear, real quick." he tells me. I look at him confused. "I thought I loved her. It wasn't until I met you, I started seeing what love actually was. I would do anything for you. I would die for you. I wouldn't for her. I am limited at what I would do for her and I don't know if I would die for her. But with you, there's no doubt." he tells me. "Are you sure you want me to come along?" I ask. "You're mi Reina. I want you wherever I am." he tells me. "Okay." I tell him. He kisses me softly and I feel his hand on my stomach. After a while, we go back inside and head to bed to claim each other again and again before falling asleep together.
