The Claim

Chapter 13

We spend the evening at the clubhouse before heading home. Once inside, I head to the kitchen to cook and he walks to the door. "You okay babe?" he asks. I look at him and see concern in his eyes. I walk over to him and wrap my arms around his neck as his hands go to my waist. I kiss him softly and say "I'm fine Angel. Was in my head a little bit but I'm okay now. I know you love me. I know you want to be with me and I know you want our baby. I'm good baby. Hungry as hell but good." I tell him and he laughs a little. "Then let's feed you Mami." he says before kissing me again. We both head to the kitchen and he helps me make a small dinner for us.

After dinner, we snuggled on the couch and watched a movie. I must have dozed off because I feel myself being lifted up and carried to bed. Laying beside me, him on his back, and my head on his chest, I wake up a little and see him looking up at the ceiling. "You okay Angel?" I ask. "Yeah baby. Just thinking." He says. I sit up a little and he says "Mama would have loved you. Giving her a grandbaby, me settling down. Seeing how much you love me. She would have loved you. I know Pop and EZ do." he tells me. I look at him and before I can say anything he says "I love you. Never doubt that novio." I kiss him softly and move to straddle him. "Show me Papi." I whisper. He turns us over and starts to make love to me nice and slow and that's how we spend the rest of the night.

I wake up the next morning and am in bed alone. The bedroom door opens and Angel walks in with a tray of food. I sit up against the headboard and he places it on the bed next to me and sits beside me. Kissing me softly he says "Good morning Mami." I smile and say "Morning Papi. What's this?" I ask. "My wife and kid's gotta eat right?" he asks. "I would have cooked." he says. "I know. But I wanted to do this for you. Sort of our fresh start." he says. "I thought that started last night?" I ask smirking. Kissing me softly he says "Last night was me showing my esposa how much I love her." I smile softly and say "I do love you Angel. You told me that finding me was the best thing that ever happened to you. It's the best thing that's ever happened to me. That and our baby." I tell him. We eat and talk before heading out to the clubhouse.

Walking into the clubhouse, Angel doesn't go far from me. Coco walks over and sits down next to me at the bar. "How you holding up?" he asks. "I'm getting there. Trying not to get to far into my head but I'm good." I say. "What about you and him?" he asks motioning to Angel. "We're good. Fresh start. We're in this and he's been great. I'm happy Coco." I tell him. "Good sis. All I want is for you to be happy." he tells me. I look over at Angel and see him smiling at me and I say "I am happy." Angel walks over and wraps his arms around me and his hands go to my stomach and I see Coco smile. "Happy for you sis." he tells me before kissing my cheek and leaving me alone with my husband. I turn in his arms and he pulls me close. I nuzzle my face into his neck and he kisses my temple. "You good Mami?" he asks. "Yeah. Just can't get enough of your scent." I tell him. He looks at me confused and Vickie speaks up. "It's the pregnancy. Her senses are heightened. Don't be surprised if she can't get enough of your scent or if something makes her sick." she tells him and he holds me closer. I have a good feeling about our fresh start.
