Love Me Anyway

Chapter Twenty-Seven

Maya

Today was day one of Cat's suspension, and so far it was terrible. She whined and cried about how she deserved to go to school, and how Bryce was the one who started it. Carina had been at work all morning, so it was just me and the kid.
"Okay. How about we go see everyone at the station? It'll be like learning at school."
Cat thought about it for a second, and nodded.
"Okay. Go get your shoes on, my little fire fighter."
"But I wanna be a Doctor like Mamma." Cat said as she pulled her converse on.
"Alright, my little intern." I chuckled. "What do you wanna do when you're a Doctor?"
"I wanna help babies, like Mamma does."
"And you will, my baby. You can do anything, and be anything you want." I ruffled her hair and grabbed the car keys.

Bambina🥰:
Our daughter wants to be you when she grows up.
Amore mio💛:
Really?
Bambina🥰:
Yep. I called her my little fire fighter and she said she wants to be a Doctor when she grows up. When I asked her what she wanted to do, she said she wanted to help babies like her Mamma does.
Amore mio💛:
I love her so much. I'm headed into surgery. I'll call you after. I love you, bambina.

We got out of the car, and Cat grabbed my hand as we walked into the station.
"Cat! Come here Mamita! I missed you!" Andy exclaimed.
Cat let go of my hand and ran into her Tìa's arms.
"How's her suspension going?" Vic asked.
"Whiny. She's been complaining all day about how she's missing out on learning at school. Carina has a meeting with the principal when she gets off. Which now that I think about it, I probably shouldn't have sent a fourteen weeks pregnant woman to talk to our daughter's principal." I chuckled.
"She'll be okay. She's learned how to somewhat control her hormones. Me on the other hand? Not so much."
"I tell Carina to just let it all out. It's not good to be holding all those emotions in. But you're right. She'll be fine."
"Hey, do you wanna go bother your Uncles? They're all upstairs." Andy asked Cat.
"I'm gonna scare them!" Cat exclaimed as she hopped down from Andy's arms and ran up the stairs.
"While we have you here. We wanted to ask you something." Andy walked to Vic and grabbed her hand.
"It's really a question for you and Carina. But we were wondering, if you guys would be the baby's godparents?"
"What? Seriously?!" I gasped.
"I know you'll have to talk it over with Carina, but we can't think of anyone better to have our baby boy be with if something happens to us."
"You know Carina will say yes, and it's a yes from me too and- wait. Did you say baby boy?"
Vic and Andy looked at each other and smiled.
"Yes! I freaking knew it! Oh my God I have to call Carina."

I grabbed my phone from my pocket and dialed Carina's number.
"Bambina? Is everything okay? I'm in surgery and you're on speaker."
"Yes everything is great. Andy and Vic just asked if we would want to be godparents to our nephew."
"Really? Yes. One hundred times yes! And did you say nephew?"
"Sì, amore. They're having a bambino." I chuckled.
"Tell them congratulations and invite them for dinner tonight to celebrate. I have to go, I love you."
"I love you most." I smiled and hung up the phone.
"She said yes, congratulations, and wants you two to come over tonight to celebrate."
"We'll be there. Thank you, for saying yes. I just..." Andy sighed. "With Dean, it's all been a headache for Ben and Bailey. And you're our best friends, we know you'll treat our son like he's your own."
"You know we will. I love you guys, congratulations." I reached and pulled them both into a hug. "Thanks Maya. We really appreciate everything you've done for us."
"And we appreciate everything you've done for us. You've helped out with Cat so much. You treat her like she's your own, and she loves you both so much."

"Stop it I'm gonna start crying." Vic waved her hands in front of her face.

"You know there's a four alarm fire going on right now. There's only a matter of time before we-" Andy started.
