Chapter 35: Carlos POV

We're all anxious. She should be here by now. Logan is almost a week overdue. He was due on September 8th, today is the 13th, the day before Logan's birthday…He's pretty irritable at this moment. I don't really know how he's feeling since Ethan was born two weeks early, but I do know how it feels to be huge…and I would never tell Logan this, but he's bigger than I was.

Like I don't know if it's because she got two extra weeks in the oven, or what, but Logan looks bigger… of course it's not a substantial difference, also Logan is a bit thinner than me, so maybe that explains it.

Anyway, today is the day that Logan, James, Kendall and I go down to the adoption agency and get the final adoption papers signed. We're all getting a bit antsy because the baby was due a few days ago and all of this should have already happened. Signing the papers today means that Kendall and James can take her home as soon as she checked out and ready to leave the hospital…if they wish.

Logan complained as I got him up this morning…things are really getting hard for him.

"Carlos, if we have any more kids, you're carrying them," he said as I put his shoes on.

"I know babe," I chuckled.

I basically went with anything he said, you know to make him happy. I don't think either of us is going to have another kid for at least two years…not planned anyway. Ethan started crying, and I finished tying Logan's shoe before getting up and going into Ethan's room to see what he was crying about. Of course he needed a diaper change.

I picked up the almost 5 month old and set him down on the changing table. Logan came waddling in, asking if I needed help.

"Nope I'm fine," I said.

Ethan was doing pretty well on a different note. He actually had a seizure two weeks ago, which freaked me out more than anything. Nothing is scarier than watching your child go through a seizure. We went to the doctor though, and everything turned out fine. He's just beginning to lift up his head on his own, though he can't really do it for long…it's so cute. Erika can sit up now, but can't crawl yet.

I finished changing Ethan's diaper before dressing him and taking him downstairs, helping Logan at the same time. I got Ethan all strapped into his stroller before grabbing Logan an apple, which he's was happy about (I guess he's been craving apples). I got us into the car before pulling out of the driveway and driving towards the agency.

Let me just take a moment and say yes, I've gotten the feel for what it's like to be a husband, father, and have another child on the way. I'm scrambling around for one or the other, but I love it because I love them. But after Logan gives birth, we're firstly going to have sex (It's been too long) and he's going to get back into the groove of being the man of the house.

"Is your back feeling better?" I turned to him when we reached a stoplight.

"Not really," he sighed. "Why can't she just come out?"

"She'll come on her own time," I said.

"I'm beyond the point of being scared of birth, I just want her out," Logan said.

"Birth is a life changing experience. For one thing, there is no pain like having another living force coming out of your body, not meaning to scare you of course," I smiled. "Also, you get that special bond with the child being the one to carry it.'

"Well, I won't get that special bond," Logan said.

I couldn't help but notice something in his voice…was it sadness? Yearning?

"Do you want to give her up to James and Kendall?" I asked. "We could always change our minds…it would be a challenge, but we could do it."

"No, I want them to have her, they can't have a baby, and it's not like we won't see her," Logan said.

"Just making sure, it's not too late…"

He nodded and we were mostly silent the rest of the way, but it was a comfortable silence. I pulled into the parking lot next to James' car and helped Logan out of the car. I got Ethan out of the car and put him in his stroller before we walked in.

When we got inside, Ethan looked around, taking in his surroundings. He looked so curious and wanting to explore. We saw Kendall and James sitting in the waiting area. The two got up and came over to us, smiling brightly.

"It's about to become real," Kendall said excitedly.

"I know," I smiled.

"It would be even more real if she would come out," Logan chuckled.

"Can't you induce labor or whatever?" James asked.

"Dr. Martin doesn't recommend it until I'm at least a week overdue," Logan said. "At least not for me anyway."

We all nodded and went to sit down until we were called back. A few minutes later our "agent" Jan came out and called us back into her office. We all entered and took a seat on the other side of her desk and she sat in her chair.

"How are we all doing today?" she smiled.

"I'm ready to give birth," Logan said.

"The rest of us are pretty good though," James said.

"It's all almost over," Jan said. "Remember that Logan."

"That just makes it seem like forever," he said.

"I understand how you feel…Well today, it's simple, we have the final adoption papers that need to be signed," Jan explained.

She pulled out three documents.

"This first one is one final background check form, these are usually cleared pretty fast, requiring a signature from Kendall and James" she explained. "Then there's the income form for both parties to fill out and sign. Finally it's the final adoption paper, signing over the baby and all of the parental rights to Kendall and James, which needs to be signed by all of you."

She passed the first two forms and we all read over it and filled out what needed to be filled before signing them. She handed the last paper and we all stared at it…this was the moment…so surreal. We all read over the guidelines and all, which we were all familiar with at this point.

Kendall and James signed it first, both of them smiling brightly. It was passed to me next, who signed it over. Then there was Logan…the central person in all of this. He was about to sign the rights to his daughter over to our best friends. He smiled over at the two before signing the paper. Kendall let a tear or two loose as Jan took the papers and put them in her file.

"You guys are pretty much done here," Jan said. "We'll see you at the hospital."

"Thank you so much," we each shook her hand.

"My pleasure! I love how close the four of you are, I know that no matter who has custody, between the four of you, this child will have a nice life surrounded by at least four people that she know loves her," Jan smiled.

"We all do love her," James smiled fondly.

She escorted us out and the five of us excited the building. Once outside, Kendall and James pulled Logan and I into a tight, heartfelt hug.

"Thank you guys," James smiled. "You two are the greatest friends anyone could ask for."

"We love you guys so much," Kendall smiled.

"We love you guys more," Logan smiled.

"Impossible," James chuckled.

Kendall picked up Ethan and decided that he wanted to put him in the car. I helped Logan in before I remembered that I had to get Logan's gift. James noticed this change in my demeanor and asked about it.

"I have to pick up Logan's gift," I said. "Well get it ready."

"Ready?" James asked.

"Yeah, wanna go with me?" I asked. "Then we can take your car."

"Sure," he shrugged.

I gave Kendall my keys, and instructed him to drive Logan and Ethan home safely while James and I do this.

"I know how to take care of Logan and Ethan," he laughed. "But I'm glad you're concerned."

I laughed before saying bye to Logan and Ethan, giving them both a forehead kiss before climbing into the car with James.

"So, what are you getting him?" James asked. "Where are we going?"

"We are going to PetSmart because I'm buying Logan a puppy," I smiled.

"Really?" James seemed interested. "Cool."

"Yeah, we both want one and now would be a good time," I said.

I didn't tell James that I thought it was a good time because I didn't want to tell him that I think Logan has some love for his daughter and a part of him doesn't want to give her up. The puppy will ease the separation, and make us both happy.

"Why today when his birthday is tomorrow?" James asked.

"I'm just getting through all of the payment and getting supplies today, so tomorrow I can just go pick the puppy up quickly and surprise Logan, preferably before he wakes up," I said.

"This is going to be a great surprise," James said as we pulled into the parking lot.

"I know right!" I chuckled.

We got out of the car and walked inside, where we were immediately greeted by a saleswoman.

"Can I help you gents today?" she smiled.

"Yes, I'm actually looking for a puppy for my husband," I smiled at her.

"Alright, do you know what breed he would like?" she asked.

"I know that he would like a dog that family friendly and just a fun loving dog," I said. "It's me, him, and my son."

"It sounds like a Golden Retriever would be perfect for your family," she said. "Follow me."

James and I did and there was a little area where there was an area of puppies. All of the little goldies were cute and ran over to James and I, hopping on their little gate trying to get to us. We started petting all of them, but none of them seemed like the right one.

"Find one you like?" she asked.

"I'm looking for that special one, you know?"

She nodded and watched James and I pet more dogs. I just so happened to turn around, like it was a force and saw the other dog pin of German Shepherds. There was one little puppy with pointy ears that was looking at James and I excited, while it's siblings weren't paying attention.

I stood up, forgetting the others, and walked over to the puppy. It licked my chin and I pulled it closer to my chest.

"What about this one?" I asked.

"Oh, that's Sydney," the lady smiled. "Definitely a special one, has so much to offer. Little fun fact, she's the only one that's been named."

I smiled…I wanted her.

"I want her," I smiled.

"Carlos, I think you moreso want Sydney for yourself," James laughed.

"So? Logan will still love her," I smiled.

He agreed and held Sydney himself, who excitedly pawed at his chest. He smiled.

"She is a perfect dog," James said.

"We're getting her," I told the lady.

The lady smiled and led us through the rest of the process of owning a dog, including giving us tips and showing me the rest of the essentials. After a bit of time, I picked out her bed, food, toys, etc and paid for her and the belongings. I put the things in James' car and informed her that I would pick Sydney up tomorrow morning.

She nodded and I said goodbye to Sydney before James drove us home. Tomorrow was going to be a great day.

The rest of the day went pretty well. I gave Logan a back massage and continued to attempt to comfort him. I kind of felt sorry for him, he really doesn't love pregnancy. We spent the rest of the day cuddling and all before going to bed.

Around 3 AM, I woke up when I heard Logan move around a bit in the bed. He made a weird noise, like he was uncomfortable, but I shrugged it off and went to sleep. I woke up again when he woke up and walked into the bathroom, but I thought he just had to pee and went back to sleep.

Around 3:30 he got back into bed and tried to go back to sleep, but I could tell he wasn't because his breathing wasn't even…It would actually get irregular every 15 minutes or so for a few seconds. I wanted to ask him if he was okay, but I didn't.

It was when he shot up around 3:45 that I sat up slowly.

"You okay?" I asked him, only using the light from the moon to see.

"No," he said. "I thought maybe it was just a weird feeling, but it's not."

"Logan, what are you talking about?" I asked, kind of groggily.

"It's time Carlos," he said. "I'm in labor."
