Diana -a few weeks later-
"momma. when is angel gonna be born?" luca asks and they put lotion on my belly. this is their favorite part of the night. they love helping me.
"i'm hoping soon." i say.
"is daddy gonna be here when she's born?" he asks.
"of course. why?" i ask.
"i miss him." he says. i smile.
"he misses you guys." i say. recently Jack and johnson have been really busy with the album and things. so Jack hasn't been here in two or so days.
"is daddy angels daddy too?" ty asks.
"kind of." i say. he nods. they finish putting the lotion on. i get up and tune the light off and then walk to the bed. i get in the middle of them. they both snuggle into my sides, hands resting on my belly. i smile and wrap my arms around them.
"i love you guys." i say
"love you too." they say at the same time. god i love these boys.

-two days later-
"you boys are such big helps." amber says with a smile as they rub my back. im at the hospital. my water broke and i'm in active labor. the boys refuse to leave my side until Jack gets here. so they've seen all of my contractions and break downs. i'm not even gonna lie, i'm glad they did. i didn't wanna hide any of this from them. they know that it's only temporary until angel is born. but, i want to get them out before i have to push her out. and i want Jack in here. he's really stepped up in these past few weeks. he's raised the boys like he hasn't missed anything. some days i'd find them laying in the living room, watching toy story 2 for the 18th time that day. other times i'd find Jack, struggling to stay awake but wanting to make sure the boy went to sleep. during the storms we had, he'd sleep in their rocking chair and every time a crack of thunder would sound and one of the boys would get upset, he'd do this funny rain dance that he claimed helped keep the thunder monsters away. he's honestly just has really stepped up to the dad plate.
"guess who's here." johnson says, popping his head in the room. he walks in and Jack walks in after him. i smile as the boys climb off the bed and run to him. they hug his legs and he laughs and rubs their backs.
"daddy! mommy says that angel is gonna be here soon." luca tells Jack. he smiles
"i know. i'm so excited." he says.
"same." they both say. Jack laughs
"okay boys. say bye to mommy. we're gonna go get something to eat." amber says. the boys walk over to me and i kiss their heads. they both kiss my belly.
"see you soon sissy." ty says, waving to my belly as him, amber, luca and johnson walk out. i smile as Jack closes the door.
"so soon?" he asks. i nod.
"yea. half an hour or so, i should be able to start pushing." i say. he nods and grabs the little clip board on angels bedside crib.
"angel nicole." he reads.
"the boys picked her middle name." i say. he smiles
"they have good taste." he says. i nod
"they also asked if she'll have the same last name as them." i say. he looks at me.
"gilinsky?" he asks. i nod. we recently changed the boys last name to gilinsky instead of lopez. they love it.
"if you want it as carson's that fine-" i shake my head, cutting him off. Jack also has been updated on the whole carson situation
"i don't want any part of him attached to her. she's already half him, and i just don't want her to have his last name." i say. he nods. there's a knock on the door and it opens.
"hello, dad i'm assuming?" my doctor asks Jack with a smile. he glances at me
"yea. he was stuck in traffic. but he's here now." i say with a soft smile, looking from him to the doctor. she nods and they shake hands.
"okay so. your vitals and little miss angels vitals are showing that you are very much so ready to push. so we're gonna get you situated. a few nurses will come and get you prepped and everything okay?" she says. i nod as she helps me lay back on the bed. two or three nurses come in. i couldn't really pay attention because they started laying things on me and the bed. and nurses were in and out.
"dad, if you wanna hold her hand to help her push, that would be good. diana, you can also hold onto the bed side with your other hand alright?" she says. i nod. jack grabs my hand.
"next contraction, go ahead and push." the doctor says. i nod. here goes nothing.

—30 minutes later-
"..6,7,8,9,10." my doctor counts and i let out a deep breath. the nurse gives me a thumbs up and she holds angel above the little blanket. i instantly break down in tears. Jack cuts the cord and they lay her on my chest. my free hand goes to her back. she screaming her lungs off but honestly, i block it out. she's so gorgeous. they clean her up on my chest and then get busy with doing some simple check ups. Jack grabs a tissue and hands it to me. i smile and thank him and then wipe my eyes.
"okay. diana we need a last name for her birth certificate." the nurse says. i glance at Jack, who's admiring angel, who's holding his finger. i smile softly and look at the nurse, my decision made.
"gilinsky."
