Love

Ch 10: Te Amo (I Love You)

April 15th, 2017…

"Oh, Dios mios!"

Zoe rushed in as much as she could when she heard her big brother cry out in pain.

"Que paso, brother?" She asked softly.

Blayke winced as he forced himself to look up from the ground he had fallen on.

"I hate to say this…I'll hate myself for saying this…but…sis…" He sighed.

"I've fallen and I seriously can't get up. May God kill me."

"Aye, aye." Zoe breathed out as she walked towards him. She took one of his hands and used the couch next to them to help balance themselves.

"Ooh, lose some weight, graso."

"Hey!" Blayke sat back on the couch as Zoe put his still injured leg on one of the ottomans within the living room.

"Don't call me fat! I'm freakin' sexy!"

"Face it, you've put on some pounds these past few weeks." Zoe said, rubbing her 16 week pregnant stomach up and down.

"It's not my fault!" Blayke almost shouted.

"I just had the cast taken off yesterday! Now when I get a bit better, I can start exercising again!"

"Sure, bro." Zoe giggled as she walked out of the living room and back into the kitchen to continue making breakfast for her husband, who was showering. She hummed to herself as she decorated the pancakes before her.

"Daddy is going to love these, won't he?" She whispered to her stomach.

"Oh, Anastasia, I cannot wait to meet you."

Speaking of, Quin came into the kitchen, clean cut and showered, and smiled at his wife cooking.

"There's my beautiful bride." He smiled as he went up to her and kissed her cheek. "Where is everyone?"

"Blayke's whimpering in the living room, while mom and dad went to talk to Cristina's principal." Zoe told Beck as she put some food on a tray.

"Anastasia and I are just making you breakfast."

"How do you know it's a girl?" Beck teased her as Zoe put the plate of food in front of him.

"The doctor said he couldn't tell yet, so he wasn't sure if it was a girl or if our son was just shy."

"Nope, I have a strong motherly instinct feeling about my baby and I know it's a girl." Zoe said in a serious voice.

"She and I already have this strong connection. I can't wait!"

"Well, let's not buy any baby clothes just yet, okay?" Quin chuckled, eating his food as Zoe went to do the dishes. "It may be a boy."

Zoe rolled her eyes. "Whatever."

He noticed her tone become annoyed and dropped the subject. She was pregnant and very fragile. He didn't want to upset her or the baby.

He also had a feeling the baby was a girl too, but just in case, he didn't want to make a boy feel inferior.

He also didn't want to buy baby girl clothes, only to have to return them like an idiot.

"Bill's court date has been postponed again." Zoe suddenly said, putting dishes into the dish washer.

"Something about his lawyer needing more time or something like that."

Quin growled. He was so sick of all the waiting. Why didn't the court system just put Bill in jail for kidnapping his wife? It's an easy case! Right?
