*Three Months Later*
"Juan and Isabella are so calm," Carelita smiled looking down at her "nephew" and "niece".
"For now, Isa woke up last night and woke all of us up," Maria laughs looking at her friend infected with baby fever.
"You and Trender."
"What about us?" Carlita asks not sparing a glance away from the two babies in the crib.
"I know you two don't have that much time together, but have you and him thought of..?"
Carlita looks at her friend and shakes her head before turning back to the little sleeping angels.
"I haven't talked about that with him."
"How come? I'm sure he's very understanding."
"He is, but I guess I'm just scared that I finally found a good guy and that we both want a different future," Carlita looked down remembering her former partner.
Maria knew where this fear came from, especially since she witnessed it first-hand. Carlita's former partner was always jumping from bed to bed, so a family wasn't ever really in his mind. However, Carlita has always told Maria how she wished to have her own family, so she could do what her parents couldn't do.
Carlita went as far as putting her wishes and needs away and putting her partner first. That was till he left Carlita for another woman.
"I'm sure Trender is nothing like that asshole. He's a good man."
Carlita nods turning to her friend with a soft smile and sits beside her friend.
"How have you and Slender been doing? I know it's tough since..."
"We're getting through it. It's been tougher on him than on me. He feels guilty."
"Missing the whole nine months and missing the births?" Carlita asks to remember how Slender got there after both the twins were born and how scared he was that his son wouldn't cry.
Maria nods turning to the ring on her finger. Slender had proposed to her just a few weeks ago after he had slowly finished recovering after being in a coma. She accepted as soon as he got down one knee, cause after having gone through what they did Selena realized she couldn't go on without him.
Slender enters his shared bedroom and halts at seeing Carlita.
"Well, I guess that's my cue. Bye, to the Munchkins." Carlita smiles passing by Slender.
"Munchkins?"
"Our children," Maria and Slender laugh as he turns to his children.
"They look so peaceful, and without any worry in the world."
Selena nods looking up at her fiance as he admired at their little ones.
"I've been thinking..."
"Thinking about what, amore mio?" Slender asks sitting beside her and holding her hand in his.
"We need to talk about it, Slender. I know you don't want to, but we have to."
Slender sighs letting go of her hands and looks away from her.
"I...I can't, Maria. I just can't. Want to know what i think of each time I go to Smiley to get checked? I think of how I left you. If I wouldn't have left you wouldn't have gotten kidnapped, your father would be here, and I wouldn't have gotten fucking shot!" Slender growls not glancing at a tearful Selena.
"If I would have just stayed! I wouldn't have missed everything!"
"B-But you didn't-"
"I did! I missed being there for you at each appointment! I missed comforting you while you vomited! I missed seeing our little ones while they grew! I missed listening to their heartbeats for the first time! Damn it, I even missed my own children's birth! Our son almost..." Slender sobs not being able to look at his fiance.
Maria hugs her sobbing fiance as he hugs her back not wanting to let her go.
---------------------------------
"What?! No!"
"P-Please, Trender hear me out!" Carlita begs her boyfriend as he angrily stomps to pack some stuff up for his trip to Paris.
"I don't want kids! Not now not ever, Carlita. I love you and you know I'll do anything for you, but having a kid?"
"But, you're so amazing with the twins, Tren."
"I know, babe. However, I just don't want kids."
"Trender, please hear me out-"
"You asked if I wanted kids and I said no! I answered to you and that is final, Carlita! No kids!" Trender yells slamming his suitcase and turns to a sad Carlita.
"I'm sorry, babe. I just...I respect kids and all, but I don't want kids. I like the way things are just you and me," He smiles softly holding Carlita in his arms.
She nods snuggling into his chest as she tries to imagine a future without children. Just him, her, and no children of their own.
