Ol'lady
"I'm so God damn nervous."
I said looking at Chibs. We were both currently hidden away in the hallway at Clay and Gemma's place. Chibs shook his head and looked down at me. We had agreed three days ago that we would do this tonight.
That we'd announce I was becoming his Ol'Lady.
"Aye, I know. But ya gotta be strong, Clara."
He reassured me as he placed his hands on either side of my face. I looked up at him and smiled softly. I knew he was right, but after the outburst Clay gave the other day and after the fact he seemed to be avoiding me was more than cause for concern.
Not to mention how Tig would react.
"Sorry, I know. I know."
I told him again. Tig knew that the baby might have been his and not Chibs, he also knew that I still had feelings for him - of course I always would - but I was afraid that he'd say something to Chibs.
I was terrified in thinking that Tig would be upset and tell Chibs everything. Everything about his time in prison when I would visit, about the baby, the wedding night -- I was literally shaking.
"Clara, baby?"
Chibs questioned. He must have noticed my anxiety flarinf, the shaking, and kept me in the hallway a bit longer.
"Clara, you're shaking..."
He told me. I looked up into his chocolate concerned eyes and seen the worry he had.
"I'm nervous. I'll be okay."
I told him keeping the tears at bay. Chibs just looked at me for a moment before he held me back against the wall behind me. Leaning down he place a soft and loving kiss on my lips causing me to relax. My shoulders eased up and my eyes closed. I kissed him back before he slowly pulled away.
"There's nothing to worry about. I'm right here with you."
He said calmly making sure to pronounce his words soft and slow.
I closed my eyes again and sighed before nodding my head.
"I've got you. You'll be okay."
He said again before pressing his lips to mine quickly before pulling away. Taking my hand in his, he pulled me out of the hallway and toward the dining room. He squeezed my hand lightly when we stopped in the doorway.
Layla was the first one to turn around and look at us, along with Opie when they heard us enter. Jax and Tara looked over at us as well, seeing that we had our hands locked together.
Clay, Bobby, Happy, Juice and Tig all looked at us oddly. That was before Gemma and Kozik smiled and looked at us.
"There's somethin we've been wantin ta tell everyone."
My eyes staid on Gemma, she was the only other one who knew about us prior to all of this.
"Clara's agreed ta be my Ol'Lady."
"Holy shit!"
Jax laughed clapping his hands which caused the others to all join in. I felt my shoulders relax as Layla got up and embraced me. I laughed a little as she whispered 'finally' into my ear, she must have seen it too.
"I was starting to wonder if something was going on between you two."
Bobby said shaking his head as he turned and looked up at Chibs, who just smacked his friend on the shoulder and laughed.
"Clear two seat side by side!"
Clay called out laughing. That's what made me most happiest, Clay seemed to approve. Tig scooted over which allowed for two seats to be open. He had been to Gemma's right, which I quickly took the seat by Gemma.
When Chibs sat down by Tig, I watched as Tig tapped his friend on the back in congratulations.
This put me more at ease. That was until Tig caught my eye. Sorrow. That's what I had seen in them. I looked away and back down at my plate waiting for food to be passed.
"Looks like this calls for a SAMCRO party later."
Clay said causing me to look up at him. He tipped his beer toward me. He was very approving of us. Something that had weighed heavily on my mind since the moment Chibs wanted to announce us.
I looked at my Ol'man. It was odd to call him that officially now, but I could see he was happy as he looked down at me.
His smile was the happiest I'd ever seen from him.
