Chapter 12

Waking up the next morning, I am in bed alone. I get up and walk into the kitchen to see Angel sitting on the back deck alone. I pour two cups of coffee and walk out to take a seat beside him. Handing him his coffee, I don't say anything. He leans over and tilts my face up to look at him and says "Good morning." I kiss him back and say "Morning. You okay?" I ask. "Yeah. Just wrapping my head around shit." he says. I don't look at him but just nod. I know it was hard for him to kill Adelita but maybe his feelings for her ran deeper than I thought. I stand up and kiss his cheek before heading inside but he grabs my hand. I look at him and he looks up and says "I love you." I nod and pull away to head inside. I walk to the bedroom and sit on the bed, looking at my wedding rings and am lost in my thoughts when I hear the door open. He walks over and sits beside me and says "Talk to me." I shake my head and say "I'm okay. It's all just a lot to take in. For both of us I guess." I tell him. He laces his fingers with mine and I say "I'm sorry." as I feel the tears start to fall from my eyes. "For what baby?" he asks. "Everything." I say as I stand. "You should have left me there Angel. None of this would have happened." I tell him and he stands up. "Don't do that." he tells me. "I'm sorry." I say again and start to slip my wedding rings off my fingers. He grabs my hands to stop me and says "Baby, finding you was the best thing that's ever happened to me." I don't look at him but say "I know you love her." He shakes his head and says "No. I don't." He tilts my head to look at him and says "I thought I did. Baby, I didn't even think twice about pulling that trigger. I told her I would choose you and the kid every fucking time and I mean every word of that. You're the one that I love with everything I have. Not her. You." he tells me and I pull away from him. "Are you sure Angel?" I ask. "Never been more sure baby. You and our kid are the only ones I need. I love you so fucking much." he says as he pulls me closer and kisses me and this kiss is soul searing and unlike any kiss he's ever given me. No one has ever kissed me like this. When we break for air, he looks at me and I see all I need to see from him. I kiss him again and this time it's a hungry kiss. He picks me up and carries me to the bed. Laying me down, he hovers over me and we start to shed clothes as he enters me. Thrusting in and out hard and fast, I lose myself to him as we both find the most satisfying pleasure in each other before finding our release together. Putting his forehead to mine, he says "No one will ever compare to you mi reina." I look into his eyes and say "I feel the same mi rey."

A little later, we head to the clubhouse and as soon as we walk in the door, Bishop asks "You okay?" I nod and snuggle closer to Angel and say "Yeah. I'm okay." Angel tilts my head to look at him and kisses me softly. I turn around in his hold and his arms go around me. I feel his hands on my stomach and his thumbs rub little circles on my still flat stomach. I feel him place a soft kiss to my shoulder and I turn my face to look at him. Kissing me softly he whispers "Te amo." I smile softly and whisper "Siempre." After a while, Vickie walks in and passes all the guys and comes over to me. "Hola Bebita." she says. "Hola Vickie." I say back. She looks at me and then Angel and asks "You two okay?" I smile at her and say "Yeah. We're okay. Just a rough couple of days but we're good." I tell her and look at Angel who grabs my hand and pulls me back to him. I stand between his knees, facing him and his hands are on my hips. Putting his forehead to mine neither of us say anything. I caress his face before he moves his lips to mine and kisses me softly. I hear Vickie and Bishop over to the side and Vickie says "They really love each other." I can't help but smile and so does Angel. I guess he heard her too. "I do baby. I love you." he says. "I love you too mi dulce." I tell him. He pulls me closer and I wrap my arms around his neck as I nuzzle my face in his neck while he does the same with me, wrapping his arms around my waist. "Won't be long, we won't be able to get this close." I tell him. "I know. I can't wait. I can't wait to see your baby bump and feel the kid kicking me every time I get close to you." I look at him and ask "You're really happy about this aren't you?" He nods and says "I have never been happier." I kiss him one more time before snuggling into his embrace. I look over at Bishop and Vickie and see them snuggled up and ask "What would you say to us asking Vickie and Bishop to be grandparents?" He looks at me and smiles before we walk over to ask them. "We got a question for you two." Angel says and Vickie and Bishop look over at us. "What would you two say if we asked you to be the baby's grandparents? You two have treated me like I was your kid since the moment I met you. It's only right. We have Angel's dad. Now we need you two." I say. They nod and both hug us and I feel tears in my eyes but this time, they're happy tears.
