Three months and one pink plus sign. It was a Saturday morning and the kids were at Johnny's for a couple weeks. She knew immediately that something was different. Rafael was already awake and in the living room when he saw a figure race to the bathroom. He moved his head and he heard someone throw up. He hated the sound but he immediately got worried. He knocked on the door and he heard the water running from the faucet. "Are you ok, Cariño?"
The door opened. "I don't know". She came out. Her mind was racing. "Oh shit".
He looked at her. "What's wrong?"
"I'm late again. I think I'm pregnant".
His jaw dropped. He gave her a smile. "You... you're pregnant?"
After breakfast, she went to the drug store and bought a pregnancy test. She brought it home and Rafael waited outside anxiously. He got up as she came out with a smile on her face. She didn't have to say anything, he knew by looking at her. He bent down and kissed her stomach.
"We're pregnant", he said happily. He got up and kissed her. They made a plan to schedule a doctors appointment the first thing Monday morning.
That Monday, they were in the waiting room. He was nervous and she took his hand to reassure him. They waited for what seemed like forever but when they heard Jayde's name, they followed the nurse to a room. After doing a check up, the nurse did a sonogram. Tears of happiness filled Jayde. "Hi there, buddy", she said. Rafael looked at their little baby in awe.
Olivia noticed that something was different when Rafael walked into the precinct. She pulled him aside and they went into her office. "Jayde's pregnant", he blurted out.
Her jaw dropped. She put her hands up. "Slow down". She was in shock because she had never seen him so happy.
He took a deep breath. "Sorry. Jayde's pregnant and I'm going to be a dad".
"Wow! Congratulations. I've got to say, I've never seen you so happy and you kind of threw me off". He smirked and shrugged. "We just went to the doctor so we're both excited".
"Amor, the baby is the size of a bean. We have plenty of time to figure everything out", Jayde said laughing.
He smirked. "I know". He kissed her cheek.
"So... since we're telling everyone –"
"You want to put it on your blog". She nodded. "Ok". He kissed her again.

Jayde read all the celebratory texts to Rafael as they laid on their bed. He smiled and kissed her stomach. "You have a lot of friends, Jayde".
"I know". She smiled. "But only one Rafi. Do you want a boy or girl? Honestly".
He smiled. "A girl that's as perfect as you".
"This is why I'm marrying you. Did you tell your mom?"
"Yeah. She's excited and hoping for a girl".
Jayde laughed. "How about, if it's a girl, we name her Lucia". Rafael was so happy he wrapped his arms around her waist.
She laughed. "What about a boy's name? Just in case".
He thought. "Rafael Eduardo Barba Jr".
She thought. "I love it". He kissed her.
Thank you to everyone for their kind messages. Baby Ramba has a lot of friends and he or she is very lucky.
