"Hey sleepy head!" "Hey Lulu said as she had her hand over her 8 month stomach. Today's his big day! They big whopping 6 year old. Can you believe we had our first baby 6 years ago? God…I feel so old." "Lulu…you had him at 20 years old…your only 25 now. Your far from old. And it wont matter anyway because I'm still going to love you when your old and wrinkly." As she she got dressed, Lulu got frustrated that she couldn't fit into any of her dresses. She finally found a long dress with spaghetti straps. It was yellow and had red, green, blue, and orange In it. It was the only dress she owned that actually fit her. As she walked downstairs, the doorbell rang. It was Lucky. Johnny opened the door and greeted him with a smile and a friendly hug. Lucky looked at Lulu and smiled so big his face looked like it would crack. "You look great Lulu" 'Thanks. So, how have you been?" "Good, Good. I've been busy with the kids and all. You know that after 4 years, Scott Baldwin is still trying to hunt you two down. I'm sorry I was such an ass. I didn't want you to end up like mom. I knew how much you and Johnny love each other, and I just could bare to see it happen to you." "I know why you did what you did, and I thank you for that. I just wish for all those years, you put the hate you had for Johnny away so the time we had not hiding, you actually saw the Johnny Zacharra I see." "To tell you the truth, I would have done the same thing if it were Claudia." "See Lulu…he understands." Joey ran downstairs and jumped into Lucky's arms. "My goodness did you get big. The last time I saw you was when you were half your height now." Ali followed Joey and Lucky beamed. He had a soft spot for girls. They just had something about them that just made him melt. Lulu heard Trevor start to cry and started to walk upstairs when Johnny stopped her. "Let me do it…its okay." " Thanks" "Don't thank me!" As Johnny walked downstairs with Trevor, he gave him o Lucky. As Joey's friends started showing up, the house got more and more filled. The place was a mess. By the time the party was over, the house looked like 18 year olds threw a party. It was a good thing they had maids. The next morning, Lulu woke up and wasn't feeling so great. She walked downstairs when all of a sudden, she went into labor. "JOHNNY!!" 'WHAT?" "Uhm…I think its coming." "He grinned at his wife." As they got to the hospital, a nurse showed them to their room. Lulu was sitting with her husband as they anxiously waited for the doctor to show up. When he did, Lulu became tense and scared. Johnny reassured she that everything was going to be fine. After all, they had already done this 3 times before. When the doctor positioned her legs into the stirrups and sat in his chair, her heart started to race.
She grasped Johnny's hand tight. "Okay Mrs. Zacharra…its time to push now." She squeezed Johnny's hand tighter until it turned bright red. As she pushed, Johnny rubbed her stomach. By the time it became 4 hours of pushing, she had enough…she laid back into her pillow. She pushed once more and yelled when she stopped. She heard her baby scream and cry and smiled at the sound. "it's a girl! Johnny said beaming down at his daughter." As Lulu held the baby and rocked her, she became tired. They put Leila in the nursery and Johnny slept with his wife in her bed. The next morning was the morning they could go home. When they got there, Lucky was sitting with their other kids watching TV. "Oh my…she's beautiful guys! Lucky said as he smiled at the little girl." "We named her Leila." "it's a gorgeous name for a gorgeous girl." By the time Lucky left, The whole Zacharra family laid in bed together and Johnny had Leila on his chest. Joey was next to Lulu, then Ali, and Trevor was on Lulu's legs. The cat was on the edge of the bed. Lulu felt so safe, and secure where she was. She was happy and nothing would change that. She couldn't believe that she could ever have a life like the one she has now. It just seemed so unreal to her. By morning, Joey and Ali were out of the bed and watching TV. Johnny and Leila were in the same position they fell asleep in. He was awake just combing his fingers through her little blond hair. Finally…a child that looked like Lulu. She had chestnut eyes, blond hair, and had a little button nose with freckles like Lulu. Her eyelashes were astonishingly long. That was what resembled Johnny in the baby. Finally…they had their whole family. They stayed in bed most of the day just cooing over their new daughter. Johnny seemed to be in aw with her. He just seemed like this was what he always wanted. Another Lulu. And he got it. All of their kids looked like Johnny, but this one was special…she looked like his beloved wife and he loved it. He knew she was going to grow up to be a knockout, all of his kids were, and it scared him. Lulu had mistakes she made as a teen and o did he. They learned from their mistakes, and were not about to let their kids learn their lessons the hard way like Johnny and Lulu did. Their kids were going to be complete opposites of what their parents were growing up. Johnny knew it and he was going to whatever it took to keep his kids out of troubled lives as long as he could.
