Chapter 11

A few days later, we are all sitting in the living room when the doorbell rings. Emily answers and it's Rita. Emily ushers her in and when she sees me she stops. "I thought you wanted me to come over and talk about getting back together." Rita says. "No. We want to talk to you about your visit with Carly." Miguel says. I stand up and finally speak. "Did you cheat on them?" I ask and she looks at me shocked. "Did you also steal money from them to spend on your side piece?" I ask and she looks down at her hands. "You don't understand." she tells me. "Understand what? That you lied to me? That you thought that if you told me that they would get tired of me that I would leave and you'd be back in?" I ask and she nods. "That's petty bullshit. I love them and they love me. You are the one that cheated on them and stole from them. If it were me, I wouldn't have just kicked you out and called things off. You'd me in a shallow grave in the middle of the fucking desert." I tell her and you see Miguel and Emily smirk. "You need to remember something before you step up to me again. I'm the last person you want to fuck with." I tell her. "Why's that?" she asks. I step forward and get in her face before saying "Because I'm a Goddamn Galindo." She stiffens and Miguel says "I think it's time for you to go." She doesn't respond. She rushes out the door.

Miguel walks over to me and crashes his lips with mine and so does Emily. Miguel pulls out a small bag from his pocket and gets down on one knee. "Will you marry us?" Emily asks. I nod and Miguel puts the rings on my finger.

***Two Years Later***

"Come on Carly. Push baby." Miguel says and I have him and Emily on each side of me. "Fuuucckkkk!" I yell as I push because I decided I wanted to have this baby without drugs. Married to the leader of a drug cartel but don't want drugs for labor. Go figure. "One more push." Emily says and I push one more time and we hear the little cries of our daughter. Amelia Danita Galindo was born a healthy and happy little girl. Nestor brings Crisobal in after we get settled. "She's beautiful brother." he says and you see Miguel glow with pride. He leans down and kisses me softly and Emily does the same.

A few days later, we are sitting at home and Emily is in the floor playing with Cristobal and I am on the couch feeding Dani, that we decided to call her, and Miguel is standing in the doorway watching us. I look up at him and see him smiling at our little family. "Are you happy?" I ask him. He walks over and sits at my feet, between me and Emily and says "I am very happy." I smile at him and say "We are too." and Emily smiles, agreeing with us. I love our little family even if it isn't the most traditional.
