A/N: Sorry I'm skipping months, I just don't want to drag on this pregnancy
*Carlos is home, but in L.A. shooting the show and doing a photoshoot.*
*4 months after telling Carlos about the pregnancy*
Vanessa's P.O.V
Doctor-D, Vanessa-V, Nicole-N, Jen-J, Emily-E
D-Hi Mrs. Garcia, do you want to find out the sex of your baby today?
V-Hi, and yes I'm very excited.
D-Great and who are these lovely ladies?
V-They're just my friends…my husband couldn't make it, he's in L.A. shooting his show, and then doing a photo shoot.
D-Okay well are you going to tell him the sex of the baby tonight or do you want to wait until our next appointment?
V-I want to know today, but I was thinking I wouldn't tell him I knew until a month from now at our next appointment.
D-Okay, well lets get started then.
V-Great!
J-I'm so excited!
E-Me too!
N-I hope it's another girl!
E-I want another boy so we would all have girls and boys the same age. (Please see notes sheet)
D-Well it looks like you're going to have a little boy.
V-OMG! Carlos is going to be so happy.
J, E-Yay!
N-Man…I wanted a girl…oh well a boy is good too.
D-Okay…it looks like we're done here for today…so let's get you cleaned up and then you can go.
V-Okay thank you doctor
D-No problem
E-Yay…lets go clothes shopping
J-Ya…since all of the kids are with the babysitter
N-Yup lets make it a day out for us
V-Okay…ya
I was so happy that Carlos and I were finally going to have a son, ever since we had Izzy he wanted a boy to play with. I knew he was going to be proud to have a son of his own. I just didn't know how to tell him. I thought I would wait until our next doctor's appointment to tell him about our son.
*A couple of weeks later *
Vanessa's P.O.V
I was excited when I saw Carlos come through the door of the plane after his 3 weeks gone. Izzy and I were excited to finally have him home…and you could tell he was happy to see us too. He greeted us with big hugs and kisses and took us out to lunch by ourselves…which meant no one else but us. I wanted to tell him at lunch but I decided to wait another week until I would tell him. Izzy didn't even know she was going to have a brother; I knew she wanted a sister so she could play with her and dress her up. Izzy was excited that she was going to have a baby sister or brother from the time she found out, she had already decided that she wanted to help change, feed, and play with him/her(this was the first time when Vanessa told Izzy about her arriving sibling). When Izzy told me all of what she wanted to do, it didn't surprise me at all, she never wanted to be left out of anything; it had been that way for a year and a half, because she had been the only child.
*At the doctor's appointment*
D-*Winked at Vanessa, trying to act like he doesn't know what the gender is yet.*
C-*Carlos sees it and snaps at the doctor* Dude, what are you doing winking at my wife?
D-Relax, I'm just covering up something she didn't want me to tell you. Are we here to find out the gender of the baby?*Winks at her again*
C-Dude, you just did it again…STOP!
V-(Laying down on the bed) Carlos…stop…it's okay…
C-*Carlos is really mad now*No it's not Vanessa you're my wife…and it's not okay for him to do that.
V-Carlos…STOP! Calm down
C-Vanessa if you don't want me that's fine…but tell me now so I know.
V-Carlos…STOP and calm down…he knows the sex of the baby
C-Really…
V-Yes…and I know too…but I wanted you to find out today…we were keeping it a secret.
C-So what is it then…?
V-We were getting to it when you flipped out…and why would you think I would go for him?
*At home after the appointment*
*Carlos' P.O.V.*
V-Carlos, why would you think I would cheat on you?
C-I don't know Vanessa…a lot of stuff can happen in 3 weeks.
V-Oh…like me cheating on you with my doctor…when I'm carrying your child.
C-It could happen.
V-You know Carlos the fact that you would think that is just stupid and ridiculous. I'm taking Izzy, and I'm going to stay with my mom for the night.
C-Vanessa…wait…can we please just talk? (Runs towards her and pleads for her attention as she's going to her room to pack an overnight bag.)
*A couple of minutes later*
V-(She's done in her room; she grabs Izzy and heads out the door. She turns around and stops when Carlos talks to her.)Are you sure Carlos…or are you just going to accuse me of something else too.
C-Please…I didn't know what you were hiding…please this isn't good for you…not in your condition.
V-I was just trying to do something cute for you, I was going to keep it a secret until you got home…but you kind of ruined it.
C-Please…I didn't know*Gives her a little bit of a smile*
V-You know even when I'm trying so hard to be mad at you…you're still sweet and cute. *Feeling guilty but still a little angry, then gives him a little peck on the lips and smiles*
C-So…does this mean you're not taking Izzy and going to your mom's house.
V-Ya…I'm not going to go…how could I ever stay mad at you…we have kids together.
C-Yes…I couldn't let my girls go that quick.*Goes into kiss her, but she pulls away and stops him.
V-Oh…you're not off the hook yet mister.
C-Ahh…come on I thought I was.
V-*laughs a little* Nope, you accused me of something that I would never do to hurt such a sweet guy.
C-*Feels flattered and laughs a little*Well I do have that sweetness factor in me.
V-Very funny…
C-*Gets scared* Uh oh…what are you going to make me do?
V-Some housework and you're going to take care of me for the next 4 months
C-Okay, I guess that'll make us even…wait…it'll make us even right?
V-Oh yeah…definitely!
