Chapter 89: One

One - U2

-----

After having a heart to heart the night before, Chibs barely slept, thinking over the dominoes that fell in Mina's life after Stefan died. He couldn't help but feel like it was his fault. Chibs fell asleep around four, still holding Mina in his arms. She woke him up around six, not realizing he didn't sleep much.

Mina leaned up to kiss him. "Mmm, morning," she sighed.

"Mornin'," he smiled, pulling her closer. "How're ya feelin'?"

"I'm okay, baby. Just a lot of sh*t running through my head." She reached for his hand and held it close to her.

He kissed her forehead and mumbled, "Anythin' ya wanna let out?"

Mina shook her head. "Just...just the same stuff we talked about last night. Nothing new."

"I know, love. Me too."

She looked up at him and said, "Stop feeling guilty, baby. You did everything you could." She kissed him again and sighed, "C'mon, let's get going."

As Mina got out of bed, Chibs asked, "Where are ya goin'?"

"Spending the day with Jess and Charlie. Just get away from it all."

He sat up and watched her as she started getting dressed. "Be careful, a'right? Anythin' looks shady, you need to call me. I'll drop everythin' and come get ya."

Mina nodded, "Okay, baby, I will." He stood up and walked over to her, wrapping his arms around her waist. "What's your plan for the day?"

"Not sure. Whatever Jackie tells me to do. Marks got arrested on your birthday. And I'm not sure what's been goin' on the past three days. I don't wanna go." Chibs leaned down and kissed her neck, resting his cheek on her shoulder. "Hap really knows you're pregnant?"

"Yep," she sighed. "I told him not to tell anyone, but I'm not sure if he did."

Chibs laughed, "Expect that everyone knows by now, love. He at least told Tig, Tig probably told Jax, who told Gemma, who told all of Charming. There's probably a billboard around the corner."

"Well," she chuckled, turning in his arms, "I told him that if he said anything, I would kill him."

He smiled and asked, "Did it work?" She shrugged and looked up at him again. "Ya know, he's scared of ya?"

"No, he's not," Mina sighed. "He's afraid of Gemma, but not little Mina."

Chibs laughed and then said, "No, he's afraid of both of you, Little Gemma." 

Mina laughed, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Is that so?" He nodded in between her arms. "Anyone else afraid of me?" He nodded again, smiling wide. "Like who?"

"Jax, Tig, Quinn, Rat, Montez," he chuckled.

"All of SAMCRO is scared of me?" she laughed.

Chibs shrugged, "Well...I'm not." He leaned down and kissed her, pulling her closer to him.

Mina ran her fingers through his hair. "Is that so?" she asked. He laughed, picking her up, wincing from the bullet wound. She wrapped her legs around his waist. "You sure about that?"

He walked over to the bed and sighed, "You should be afraid of me."

"Oh? Why's that?" she laughed, kneeling down on the bed.

Kissing her neck, he whispered, "Ya should be afraid of how I'm gonna hold you on the bed and not let ya up." He leaned over to her ear, whispering, "Ya should be afraid of how I'm gonna grab your throat and leave hickeys on you." Mina laughed as he bit her ear lobe. "Ya should be afraid of how I'm gonna make ya scream my name."
