***Twenty Weeks Pregnant***

Sitting at the doctor's office, waiting to be called back, Juice is sitting beside me. "What do you think we're having?" he asks. "I'll be happy either way." I tell him. "Me too." he says and his knee is bouncing. I put my hand on his knee and say "Babe, there's nothing to be nervous about." I tell him. "I know. Just...we find out what we're having." he says and I can tell he's excited. "This your first?" the woman across from us asks. "Yes, ma'am." I tell her. "How long have you been married?" she asks. "Just over a year." he tells her and kisses my cheek and you can see he's beaming. "Well, congratulations." she tells me. "Thank you." I say and see her just watching us.

We get called back and they take my weight and measurements and then the doctor comes in. "All of your vitals and measurements look great. Let's see how the little one is doing." she says. She moves the wand around on my stomach and we hear the heartbeat and you see Juice smile wide before kissing me softly. She moves it a little more and we see our baby's little face on the screen and I feel a tear fall. Moving a little more, she asks "Do you want to know the gender?" We both nod and she says "You're having a little boy." Juice kisses me deeply before she prints out the pictures and hands them to us.

Walking into the clubhouse, Ima walks up with Happy behind her and asks "Well?" I smile and Juice says "It's a boy." They all hug us and Ima and I walk to one of the couches and start talking about what we need for the baby while Juice is at the bar with the guys celebrating. That night, we decide to crash at the clubhouse and as soon as we are in the bed, I have my back to him and he has his arms around me with his hand on my stomach and our son kicks his hand. "Have you thought about names?" he asks. "I didn't want to think about it until we found out what we were having." I tell him. We lay there for a minute and I say "I have one." He rolls me onto my back and I look up at him. "Carlos Delaney." I say and he smiles. "After me and your parents?" he asks and I nod. Kissing me deeply, he whispers against my lips "I love you so fucking much." I snuggle against him and say "I love you too Juan Carlos. Everything you've done for me. I could never repay you." I tell him. "I would do anything for you." he tells me. "And I would for you." I say.

He kisses me again and I roll onto my back and say "Love you Juan." He kisses down my neck and we start shedding clothes before he enters me slowly. Making love to me nice and slow all night long before we fall asleep in each others arms. I honestly don't think I could be happier but I wish my mom and dad were here with me. I miss them so much. They didn't see me get married. They won't see my baby being born. Juice and the club are all I have. They are my family.
