***Forty Weeks Pregnant***

Sitting at home, Emily by my side and we are watching Cristobal play in the floor. I am rubbing my stomach and she's holding my hand. A contraction hits and I squeeze her hand and Cristobal looks at me. He is walking now. Walking over to me, he climbs up onto the couch and snuggles me. "Hey baby boy. You about ready to meet your cousin?" I ask and he kisses my belly. "I still can't believe you and EZ got married and didn't tell us." I tell her. "Yeah. Adoption papers are final too. He's a Reyes too now." she tells me and I can't help but smile. I stand up to go to the bathroom as another contraction hits and my water breaks. "Nooo." Cristobal says and looks at me like he's in trouble. Emily picks him up and says "It's okay Mijo. You didn't do it. Tia did it." and we both laugh. The guys were out in the backyard and Emily helps me to the bedroom to change when Angel walks in. "You okay mi reina?" he asks. "Get the things in the car. My water broke." I tell him and he smiles wide. Emily helps me back down the hall and we see EZ holding Cristobal and hear him say "Papi, baby." and point at me. "Yeah Mijo. Tia's having a baby." Emily looks at him and says "Yeah. Right now. Water broke." His eyes go wide and so does his smile. "Everything's in the car mi amor. You ready to meet our little girl?" he asks. "Yeah baby. Just get me to the car." I say and we head to the hospital.

Ten hours later, we are sitting there with the entire club, Emily, Cristobal and Felipe in my hospital room. Felipe is holding our daughter and he asks "What did you name her?" We smile and say "Marisol Marie Reyes." He looks at us and smiles. "There was no way we weren't naming her after the most important woman in our lives. She treated me like I was one of her kids just like you do." I tell him. "You are one of our kids. You always were Mija." he tells me and I can't help but smile.

After everyone leaves, Angel is sitting in the chair feeding Marisol and I am just watching him, smiling. He looks up at me and asks "What?" I nod to her and say "You and her. She has you wrapped around her little finger doesn't she?" He nods and looks back down at her and says "Yeah. She does. She's Papi's pequeno." he tells me and I can't help but smile more. "I love you Angel." I tell him seriously. "I love you too mi amor. I always have." he tells me. "You know, when I was gone, this was what I thought about. This was what I wanted. To be married to you and have a family with you." I say. "I wanted that too mi reina." he says. "You know I'm gonna want more kids." I tell him. "Oh yeah. Definitely." he tells me and I just watch my husband with out little girl and know that my life is absolutely perfect.
