Chapter 12
A couple of days later, Carlos and I are released from the hospital and we are heading home. Pulling up to the house, we get out and Juice carries Carlos into the house and my dad and Gemma are the only ones there. "Hey baby." Gemma says before taking Carlos from me. "How are you feeling?" Dad asked. "Better. They checked me out before I was discharged and what that woman did, didn't hurt me. Apparently she knew what she was doing." I tell him. He puts his arm around me and kisses my temple. "Love you baby girl." he says. "Love you too Daddy." I say.
That night, Carlos is fed, bathed and I am in the rocker in the nursery rocking him to sleep. He's looking up at me and I still can't believe we almost lost him. Not just from almost being taken but then the cord around his neck. I start to tear up as Juice comes in to check on us. "You okay baby?" he asked as he kneels in front of us. He kisses the top of Carlos' head and looks back up at me. "Yeah. Just thinking about how we almost lost him. I don't know what I would have done if we had." I tell him. "But we didn't. He's here and we won't let anything happen to him." Juice assures me. I just nod and keep looking at our son. Our beautiful son.
Once Carlos is sleeping, Juice and I head to bed. Laying in bed, watching a movie, my head on his chest and his arms around me, I feel his hand rubbing circles on my hip. "Thank you Sara." Juice says. "For what?" I asked. "For our family. I love you and Carlos so much. Do you know how much it means to me that you wanted to name him after me?" he asked. I sit up and looked at him, "Juan, I love you. And Carlos. You have been my best friend for as long as I can remember. Never forget how much I love you." I tell him. He kisses me softly and I deepen the kiss. We know we can't have sex but that doesn't mean that we can't fool around. I feel him kissing down my neck and to my chest before I pull him back up and kiss him passionately while I take his hard member in my hand. I stroke his member up and down while I roll him to his back and I kiss down his chest and stomach to my destination. He doesn't say anything. I take him in my mouth and stroke up and down until he finds his release in my waiting mouth. Once done, he pulls me up to him and whispers into my hair, "I love you so fucking much."
I wake up and it's dark outside still. I hear Carlos' little cry through the monitor and before I can move, Juice says "I got him. Sleep." He gets up and goes to the nursery and I hear him talking to Carlos. "I got you son. Daddy's got you." he says. It's quiet for a couple of minutes before I hear him speak again. "Little man, I have wanted a family for a long time. Your Mommy? I wanted to marry her from the day I met her. I have been in love with her for a long time buddy and she has made me so happy. Now, you're here, and our family is perfect but don't tell Mommy but I want you to have at least a couple of brothers and sisters. But you are such a blessing little man. Mommy and Daddy will always have your back." he tells him and I feel the tears falling down my cheek.
Juice comes back to bed and I am wiping the tears from my face. "What's wrong?" he asked. "I heard you with Carlos. Did you mean it?" I asked. "I meant everything I said." he tells me. "Even about wanting to marry me since the day you met me?" I asked. "Yeah. Sarah, I have always loved you. There was never a time that I didn't wonder what it would be like to be married to you, what our kids would look like. You were always it for me." he tells me. I kiss him softly and he lays his head on my chest while I stroke my fingers down the back of his mohawk.
