Eight Months Later
Catalina Torres-Robbins was eight months pregnant. She decided to keep the baby and enroll in home schooling to care of the baby. Her mothers tried to argue with her but Catalina made up her mind.
"Mom, ma, can I talk to guys for a minute?" Catalina asked her parents.
"Sure, mejia." Catalina sat between her two mothers on the couch and out of no where, she started sobbing.
"Cat, what is going on in that head of yours?" Arizona asked her daughter.
"I don't know if I'm ready to be a mom. I'm only fifteen. I lost all of my friends-"
"Mejia, yo sé que tienes miedo, pero su mamá y yo vamos a estar aquí a tu lado. Vamos a amar a este bebé.
Sé que su joven, pero creo que será una gran mamá."
"¿Está seguro, mamá?"
"Sí, estoy seguro." Arizona was in awe when she watched and heard her wife and daughter talk back and forth with each other in Spanish. Even though she didn't know what the hell they were talking about.
"Okay, since you guys don't need me here, I think I will head to bed now." Arizona started to head for the stairs.
"Wait, mom?" Arizona turned around.
"What, Cat?"
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"For being one of the best parents ever." Catalina hugged her mom and headed for bed.
"Buenos Noches."
"Goodnight Cat."
A Few Days later
Catalina is home by herself. Arizona and Callie went to work and Joe and Caroline were at school. While making her breakfast, Catalina felt water gushing down her leg. A few minutes later, she felt pain in her stomach. She walked over to the phone and called Mark.
"Hello?"
"Uncle Mark? Can you bring me to the hospital? It's time to have your grandchild."
"On my way. Do you want me to page your mothers when we get there?"
"Yes and hurry!" They hang up the phone.
A few minutes later, Mark arrives at the hospital with Catalina. Arizona is waiting outside with the wheelchair.
"Catalina, are you okay?"
"Yeah, can we get to my room?"
"Sure, baby."
After Catalina is checked into her room, Callie shows up and sits at the edge of the bed.
"Hey, mejia. How are you feeling?"
"In a lot of pain. Where's mom?"
"She went to go get Joe and Caroline at school. Aunt Addison should be here soon."
"So.."
"What?"
"What was it like for you and mom to give birth to Joe, Carolina and I?"
"Well, Joe and Carolina were born by a C-Section and when I had you, it was the best experience of my life, but once you see that baby for the first time, you will never forget it."
"Really?" Addison walked in.
"Hey Cat, I just came to see how far you are."
"Okay." Addison checked Catalina's cervix.
"Okay Catalina, you are still a centimeter dilated which concerns me. If you are not a three in an half an hour, I need to get the baby out of there by C-Section."
"Okay." Catalina said softly while Addison walks away and Arizona and her brother and sister shows up.
"Hey sis, how are you doing?" Joe asked is youngest sister.
"Oh just marvelous." Catalina looked at Arizona.
"What is it Catalina?" Arizona walked over the bed and sat on the edge and grabbed her hand.
"Can I talk to you alone?" Callie walked over to her son and daughter.
"Come on guys. My shift is over so I'll take you home, and Catalina, I'll be back before the baby is born."
"¿Me lo prometes?"
"Sí, lo prometo." Callie kisses the top of her head, kisses Arizona and leaves with Joe and Caroline in tow.
"Okay, what do you want to talk about?"
"Aunt Addison said that if I'm not three centimeters dilated in an half an hour, I need a C-Section."
"Okay, listen to me. I was in the exact position you are in, except a few years older, but anyway, once I saw your brother and sister for the first time, I was happy."
"Really?"
Arizona nods her head and hugs her daughter, then her pager goes off.
"Crap 911. I gotta go Cat. I will try to make it for the birth of your child." Arizona kisses the top of her head and leaves Catalina's room.
A few minutes later, Callie comes back.
"Hey Cat, where's you're mom?"
"She got a 911."
"Oh."
An hour later, Catalina is in the operating room with Callie.
"Ma, where's mom?"
"Look up in the gallery."
Catalina looked up in the gallery and saw her mom, brother, sister, and grandparents.
"She really did that for me?"
"Yeah. She wants you to know that we are on your side."
"Okay Catalina, you are going to feel some pressure." Catalina felt it. "And here is your baby boy." The baby starts crying.
"Oh my god. He's beautiful." Catalina is crying and Callie is crying.
"Good job, Mejia." Catalina looks up at the gallery and sees her mother crying and hugging her brother and sister. Arizona walks over to the intercom.
"Good job, Catalina."
"Mejia, what's his name?"
"Carlos Andrew Torres-Robbins."
"What no Sloan?"
"No, Andrew knows he's the father, but I do not want him in my baby's life."
Once Catalina was settled in her room with Carlos in her arms, Arizona and the family walk in.
"Oh my gosh, Cat. He's beautiful."
"Do you want to hold him, mom?"
Arizona nods and Catalina hands Carlos to her mother.
"Hi Carlos."
Carlos opens his eyes and looks at Arizona.
"Welcome to the family."
Mark and Lexie walk in.
"Catalina, can we talk to you?" Lexie asked.
"Yeah, mom can you bring Carlos back to the nursery for now."
"Yeah sure. Come on guys." They leave.
"What up?"
"We heard that you didn't have the last name for the baby Sloan."
"Oh."
"We were just wondering if we were still the grandparents of the baby."
"Of course you are still the grandparents of the baby. I want you guys in his life. I don't know about Andrew though."
"We will support you with Andrew. He should have done that to you."
"I know. Thank you Uncle Mark and Aunt Lexie." They hug and leave the room. Catalina leans back onto her bed. Callie comes back into the room.
"Hey. Is everything okay?"
"Yeah. I'm tired. Can you sing me to sleep like you did when I was younger?"
"Sure, mejia." Callie clears her throat.
6lbs and 9oz. lookin' up at me
Like I have all the answers
I hope I have the ones you need
I've never really done this, now I know what scared is
Sometimes I'll protect you from everything that's wrong
Other times I'll let you just find out on your own
But that's when you'll be growin',
And the whole time I'll be knowin
You're gonna fly with every dream you chase
You're gonna cry, but know that that's okay
Sometimes life's not fair, but if you hang in there
You're gonna see that sometimes bad is good
We just have to believe things work out like they should
Life has no guarantees, but always loved by me
You're gonna be
I'm afraid you'll have to suffer through
some of my mistakes
Lord knows I'll be trying to give you what it takes
What it takes to know the difference
Between getting by and livin'
'Cause anything worth doing is worth doing all the way
Just know you'll have to live with all
the choices that you make
So make sure you're always givin' way
more than you're takin'
You're gonna fly with every dream you chase
You're gonna cry, but know that that's okay
Sometimes life's not fair, but if you hang in there
You're gonna see that sometimes bad is good
We just have to believe things work out like they should
Life has no guarantees, but always loved by me
You're gonna be
Someone's everything
You're gonna see
Just what you are to me
You're gonna fly with every dream you chase
We just have to believe things work out like they should
Life has no guarantees, but always loved by me
You're gonna be
Always loved by me
Callie looks over at her daughter and Catalina is sleeping. Callie kisses the top of her head and leaves the room.
