***Twenty Weeks Pregnant***

Sitting at the doctor's office, we have Angel with us. He's stayed close since we found out we were pregnant and I think he's as excited as we are. We're finding out today what we're having. We make it back to the exam room and the doctor asks the normal questions. "Are we wanting to know the gender?" she asks. "We do." I say. Angel has been to most of the appointments with us and he's taking his role as Tio very seriously. She moves the wand around and we hear the heartbeat. Moving it a little more, she asks "Any guesses on what you're having?" I smile and say boy and so does EZ. Angel surprises us and says girl. "Looks like the uncle is right. You're having a little girl." she tells us and we can't help but smile.

We head to the clubhouse and as soon as we walk in, we see Felipe. "Called Pop to meet us here." Angel says. "Thanks Mano." EZ says. "So what's the verdict?" Bishop asks. We look at Angel and nod. "Stock up on ammo boys, we got a little Princessa coming." Angel says with a huge smile on his face. They all come and congratulate us. Felipe walks over and hugs me and says "A girl. I'm so happy for you." he tells me and I can't help but smile.

That night, we were sitting on the couch and EZ asks "Have you thought of names?" I look down at his hand on my stomach and say "I have but I don't know how you'll feel about it." I tell him. "What is it?" he asks. "Marisol Elizabeth." I say. "After Ma?" he asks. "Is that okay?" I ask. "That's perfect Beleza." he says and kisses me softly. "Are you sure? I mean, she's your daughter too." I say. "Our daughter. Yeah baby. I'm fine with it and I think Pop and Angel will be too. But can I ask why you want to name her after Ma?" he asks. I look down at my stomach and say "I know how much you loved your mom and I've listened to you and Angel talk about her and how strong she was. I want our daughter named after a strong woman." I tell him and he kisses me again. "It's perfect baby." he tells me.

I wake up the next morning and my back is to him and he is holding me close with his hand on my stomach and I can't help but smile. I feel his lips on my shoulder and turn over to my back and he kisses me softly. "Morning Mami." he says. "Morning Papi." I say. All of a sudden, EZ's eyes snap to his hand on my stomach. "Did she?" he asks and I nod. "She's saying good morning to Papi." I say. He moves down to my stomach and kisses my stomach. "Good morning bebita. Mami and Papi love you so much. You have us and Abuelo and Tio and a whole clubhouse full of Padrinos that will do anything to make sure you're happy little one. I promise." he tells our daughter and he looks up at me and smiles when she kicks his hand again.

A little later, we get up and head to the clubhouse and my dad walks over. "How are you and my granddaughter doing?" he asks. "We're good. EZ got to feel her kicking this morning." I tell him. All of a sudden she starts kicking so I grab my dad's hand and put it on my stomach and she kicks him. "She's telling Abuelo hola." I tell him and he just smiles. Bishop walks over and sees us smiling and my dad says "She kicked me." and you see Bishop start smiling too.
