So, without further ado - here's Carlos! *takes a bow and moves out of the way*

Love,

Emy

Carlos stretched his body like a cat under the blankets without even bothering to open his eyes. His right arm softly bumped into the warm body at his side. The feeling made him smile as he turned on his side and pulled Becky's naked form into his chest. He opened his eyes only slightly – enough to aim properly as he pecked the back of Becky's head eliciting a soft, sleepy "mmm" from her.

Carlos sighted with content and cuddled closely into Becky's back. The movement caused a little friction in their nether regions and Becky giggled. The sound made Carlos' heart swell.

"Morning." Becky mumbled as she turned around, her hand going up to cup Carlos' face, her ring catching an early morning sun ray.

Carlos pecked her lips, eyes closed, breathing in her sweet scent, a small hum coming from the back of his throat before he even realized it.

"Morning, woman." He teased and Becky gasped against his lips. Carlos smirked and rolled on top of her. Becky giggled again at the feeling of Carlos poking her lower abdomen and wrapped her arms around her fiancée's neck

Two whole hours later Becky and Carlos were joining everyone else down for breakfast, stupid smiles plastered on both of their faces. Of course everyone but the kids caught on to the reason why they were smiling, but the one that couldn't hold his tongue was James.

"Woo hoo, Carlos." He almost howled. "Nicely done, buddy!" He clapped a heavy hand on Carlos' shoulder making him blush to the tips of his ears, though, truth be told, he should have gotten used to James' rather crude nature after so many years of friendship. He felt better though, the moment Katie's small hand made a harsh and rather loud contact with the back of James' head making him yelp out a very outraged "OW!"

"Leave them alone." Katie shrugged and took her coffee mug to the table, sitting by Nicole's side and stealing one of her strawberries. Earning her an angry "hey" from the child. Carlos smiled at the interaction. He zoned out on the conversations going on around him and grabbed himself a cup of coffee, sitting back against the counter watching his family.

Jo was sitting on the softest chair with Kendall hovering close by her side catering to her every whim. And Jo was abusing her power a little, but her big round belly gave her the right and she did so without a shadow of mean intention.

Camille and Katie were fawning over the kids, making sure they both ate a proper breakfast – well – after Katie had stolen Nicole's strawberry, that is. By their side Logan was nibbling at his own toast and jelly sandwich while going over some report of some sort and Carlos instinctively knew it was something to do with the monthly needs of the farm. Not even half a second later James sat down at Logan side and began pestering him. Becky sat by Katie's side, tea in hand and a plate of pancakes in the other. She easily joined in the conversation with the other two women and children.

Carlos smiled. He decided to get lost in his own little world for a second. He turned his gaze out the window to his house. All the walls had been put up, as well as the roof. It looked amazing. Like a dream. His and Becky's dream come true. And the only thing left for them to do with this dream is have it furnished and painted just the right way.

Carlos imagined the little details Becky would put into the house, the tiny decorations she'd put in every room, making the house they'd built together into a home. Their home as a couple. As husband and wife. Carlos hid his smile behind his coffee cup as he sat back a little while longer.

His smile quickly faded however when a loud shattering sound echoed through the whole kitchen quickly followed by a loud shriek of pain coming from Jo.

"JO!" Kendall yelled.

"Water broke." Jo answered, her voice filled with pain.

"OK." Kendall nodded and began barking orders all around. "Katie – grab Jo's bag from our room." Katie nodded and ran out of the room. "Los – call doc Wiggins, tell her..."

"On it." Carlos replied instantly already getting his phone out.

"James – truck." Kendall went on. James sat up, keys in hand, and ran out the door.

"Cam – kids." Camille nodded.

"Loges – how do I...?" Kendall asked all worried, but Carlos didn't hear the rest of the conversation as the doctor answered.

"Doc, Jo's water broke. We're on the way to the hospital as we speak." Carlos said into his phone.

"Ok, Carlos, we'll see you here as soon as possible. I'll get everything ready." The woman replied. "Please keep your calm, everything will be perfectly fine." She said in a calming tone of voice.

"Yes, doc, thanks." Carlos ended the phone conversation and ran out of the mansion catching up with Kendall and Logan gently putting a very screaming Jo in the back of James' truck. "Doc said she's waiting."

"Good." Kendall replied shortly as he climbed in beside his wife and shut the door with a loud bang just half a second before James sped away from the house.

Carlos stood still for another half a second taking in a deep breath before turning on his heels.

"We need to follow them." Logan said his voice not really that calm, a tremble in his whole demeanor.

"Yes." Carlos nodded, before each of them running to their respective cars.

He watched Camille carefully close and lock the door behind herself as she ushered the kids into Logan's car before they sped off in James' tracks.

Carlos waited for Katie to run back with Jo's stuff before getting into his car, Becky by his side and Katie in the back seat and following them as well.

He sped on the freeway like a maniac, getting to the hospital in 20 minutes flat. They all ran in without a second thought. They asked the front desk where Jo had been taken and ran all the way there.

James was pacing around the waiting room. Logan was filling in the hospital admission forms. Camille and Nicole were sitting in the corner trying their best to distract a very worried Jake. Katie flew to James' arms, a smile on her lips at the thought of getting another nephew. Carlos sat down next to Jake, Becky by his side, as always.

So the waiting began.
