Chapter 95: I Can't Quit You Baby

I Can't Quit You Baby - Led Zeppelin

-----

Mina woke up curled against her future husband. He was peacefully asleep and she decided not to wake him up. Sliding out from under his arm, she crept into the bathroom to get ready for work. 

Starting up the shower, she placed her new ring on the counter and stepped in. She couldn't stop smiling thinking over everything. Wendy's words rang in her head; 'A baby and a wedding.' 

She pushed open the shower curtain and jumped seeing Chibs on the counter. He was holding the ring in his palm looking it over. 

"You scared the sh*t outta me," she chuckled, grabbing her towel.

"I missed ya," he sighed, setting the ring back down.

Taking a step over to him, Mina sighed, "Why don't you go back to sleep for a little bit? It's early."

Shaking his head, Chibs said, "Nah, I'm a'right. Gotta get goin' soon anyway. Goin' to Oakland."

"What's in Oakland?" she asked, drying her hair. 

"Jackie, he's up at the Mayan clubhouse."

Mina looked up at him. "Should I ask why?"

He chuckled, "Cops were after him yesterday. He's hidin' out there."

She closed her eyes, remembering Unser telling Jarry to put an APB out on Jax. She didn't want to tell him that she knew. Mina picked up her ring and put it back on her finger.

"That right?" she giggled, holding her hand toward him.

He nodded, "Aye, ya got it." Getting off the counter, he held her cheeks and kissed her. "How long until ya have to leave?"

Mina smiled, "About an hour."

Raising his eyebrows up and down, he chuckled, "What d'ya say?"

"To what?" she snickered, wrapping her arms around his neck.

Picking her up, wrapping her legs around his waist, Chibs said, "I think ya know exactly what I'm thinkin'."

"Do I?" she asked as he walked into the bedroom. "You'll have to show me what you mean."

"We'll have to see if I can." He set her down on the bed and crawled on top of her. 

Mina laid against him, tracing the tattoos on his chest. She rolled onto her stomach, putting her chin on his chest. "Are you going to get one for the blueberry?"

He laughed, "What?"

"Are you going to get a tattoo for the baby?" she smiled.

"Why wouldn't I?"

She shrugged, "I don't know. I think I'm gonna get one."

Chibs smiled and rubbed her back. "You gotta get a crow too."

"Wait, what?" she asked, sitting up. "What crow?"

"My crow," he sighed. 

Mina chuckled, "How come you never told me about this?"

Chibs laughed, realizing how upset she was about it. He reached up and grabbed her hand. "All the old ladies get them. It's a whole thing."

"So, if all the old ladies jump off a bridge, you expect me to jump with them?" she smiled. 

He chuckled, intertwining their fingers. "No, I don't expect ya to jump with them." He propped himself up on his elbow. "Trust me, it'll look great right here," he sighed, reaching up and dragging his fingertips across the inside of her breast, sending goosebumps over her.
