JE owns it all, I just wish I did.

Chapter 14

"Carlos, I'm back. Dinner is in ten." She yelled up as she passed the stairs. She rubbed her belly. "I can't wait to tell your daddy. I hope he can take it." She laughed as she walked into the chaos of her kitchen.

"Ella, What can I do to help?" She turned and caught CJ mid jump from the top of the cabinet.

"Babe, you can't be doing that in your condition."

He grabbed the boy and held him up nose to nose. "CJ only jump when someone other than your mommy can catch you okay, at least for a little while." He leaned over and kissed her just as he set him down to run.

They both turned as Lester, Casey and Lilly came though the side door. "Hey Beautiful, Boss. When do we eat?" Casey elbowed him and handed her bowl to Ella. Then hugged Steph. Just as she was going to ask about her doctors appointment everyone else came in. Tank, Lula with Christopher and Sarah. Bobby, Carol with Stacie. Connie and Joe with Joe Jr., Michelle, and baby Matthew. Someone yelled.

"Let's party!" They all pushed to the patio for the food.

"Hey guys. Grab a kid and sit." Carlos had CJ (Carlos Jr. now 6) and Steph had Izzy (Isabella Jade Manoso now 2). They set them in their own chairs beside theirs.

She stroked Carlos' cheek. "I know everyone wants to know about the reason for the party. Well... We are going to be parents again." She paused to let the roar of voices settle. "In six months we will be joined by two new babies." She watched as his eyes widened slightly as the last few words settled over him.

"Babe, did you just say two?"

She grinned. "Yep, we are having twins. You really did it this time." She squealed as he grabbed her and spun her around. He kissed her and they broke apart after a lot of coughs and "Get a Room." He watched his wife's glazed eyes and was tempted to run up the stairs. "Let's eat. We can celebrate later, Babe." He gave his 1000 watt smile at her blush.

"Casey and Carol both stood at the same time, smiling. "Guys we have news too." They looked to their husbands. Carol spoke first. "We went together." Casey finished. "Hon, We're pregnant." Carol nodded. They both got spun just as Steph did.

"Thank God! I won't have to do this one by myself." You guys are in trouble, three pregnant wives at the same time." She laughed at the looks that crossed their faces. They were remembering all the mood swings and weird cravings.

"Babe." They all dug into the food. After everything was cleaned up and gone they settled in. The kids were down in the playroom with Ella and Cara (the live-in nanny).

"Steph, What are you going to do with four little ones?" Lula asked.

"I have no idea. I have already given up the skips and only do the client stuff, searches, and paperwork" She leaned into Carlos, looking into his eyes. "We might have to hire another nanny though. I don't know if Cara can handle four by herself. CJ is a handful and Izzy and just everywhere. Adding twins, and if they are like them we are in for a hell of a ride."

"Steph with four kids. Who would have thought that seven years ago?" Joe spoke up. He grinned at her as she threw a pillow at him.

"Steph? What about Ranger? He was the Bad Ass. Now he is whupped." Lester spoke up.

"Santos, You want to go downstairs to the mats?" He gave the look that used to shut up the one on the receiving end. It was not working "Babe, I'm still Bad Ass. Tell them." She patted his thigh.

"Yes, Carlos, you are still my Bad Ass." She kissed his cheek but couldn't dodge his arms and he pulled her to his lap and tickled her.

"See man, no Bad Ass left. He tickles instead. You better watch out man. This gets out and you won't last on the streets. What's next reading to the skips as we take them in?" Tank added as he was almost rolling on the floor as he watched his friend play openly with his wife. They all laughed and joked for a few more hours till one by one they grabbed their kids and headed home.

She walked into their bathroom to shower. The kids were in bed and Carlos in his office with a little paperwork. She was just wetting her hair down when he stepped in.

"Babe." His husky voice floated around her sending shivers down her spine. He watched her shiver and was even more turned on by the reaction to him after all this time. He pulled her hair to the side and kissed her shoulder where it met her neck.

He nibbled along her neck as his hands rubbed over her tummy. "You have no idea how you turn me on knowing that you are carrying my children." He moved his hands up and stroked her breast, pinching her nipples to hard peaks. She moaned and he quickly turned her in his arms. Kissing her mouth. He hands playing over his abs and up to his nipples, flicking them on her way to tangle her fingers in his hair.

He grabbed her butt and picked her up, She locked her legs around his hips. "Oh God, Carlos. I want you now."

"Easy, Babe. We have all night to celebrate." He gave her a wolf grin at her moan. He attacked her mouth with a fierce possessiveness. He bit at her lips then down her neck. She couldn't take it anymore. She lifted and impaled herself on him before he could stop her. They groaned as the sank to the hilt.

"Now Carlos...Fuck ...Me..Now." A her words his control broke and pounded into her. She came and still he pounded just as he was going to go over her pinched her clit hard and sent them both over the edge.

They both sank to the floor their knees weak. It was another few moments before he could stand and carry her to their bed. Just as they settled in wrapped in each others arms. "Love you Babe."

"Love you too, Carlos."
