A\N: I'm so sorry for the long wait in-between chapters. Both of us have been really busy and I haven't been feeling the best but I was finally able to write this chapter. I had a huge amount of writers block though so its probably not the best thing I've ever written. The next chapter of this story will be the last.

Chapter 38

Gabby rushed into the waiting room and saw her parents, her mother on the phone and her father sitting in a chair, Diego playing at a small table in the comer of the room "How's she doing?" Gabby asked her father.

"Alright. Her mother's with her now but we can't get a hold of Antonio," He whispered, "He's not answering his cell phone."

"Well," Esmeralda hung up her phone, "The district won't give me any information accept that he's undercover and can't be reached. As soon as he returns though they'll give him the message."

"That could take days! How could be so stupid?" Gabby shook her head. Antonio had missed Diego's birth because he was overseas and that was understandable but this, this was not. She couldn't blame Laura if she didn't talk to him again for a while.

"I know," Esmeralda sighed, "I'm angry at him too but hopefully he'll be back soon."

"How far along is she?" Gabby wondered.

"No very far I don't think," Esmeralda responded, "So hopefully he'll make it back in time.

"Auntie Gabby!" Diego ran up happily to his aunt waving a piece of paper in his hands, "For baby brother!"

"Oh," Gabby settled the three year old on her lap and smiled, "I'm sure he'll love your picture. Are you going to make one for your baby sister too?"

"Ewe!" Diego stuck out his tongue and made a face, "No!" He snuggled close to Gabby, "Mommy having babies."

"I know she is," Gabby kisses the top of his head, "You're going to be a big brother. That's a big responsibility. Are you ready for it?"

"I am!"

"Good."

"Christie Casey said she'll pick up Eva from school and bring her hear. She sais he old watch her and Diego for the night too."

"Good," Gabby smiled, "Hey Diego you stay here with Abuelo and Abuela I'm going to go and see Mommy."

"Me come?"

"No, no Mommy's in a lot of pain right now."

"Why?"

"Because… Sometimes when babies are in Mommy' tummy they hurt them. But it's okay; it just means they're ready to come out. They're all grown now.

"Oh," Diego smiled.

"Here Diego lets go and see if we can find something for you new baby brother and sister in the gift shop," Esmeralda picked up her grandson and carried him out of he room.

After going to the nurses station to see what room she was in Gabby went to see Laura. Her mother was helping her stand up, "Going for a walk?" She went over to the bed and helped her sister in-law.

"Yeah," She responded cringing a little as she felt another slight contraction, "I'm not dilated very much yet but I'm in a lot of pain already."

"Hopefully walking will speed things up," Gabby offered her an encouraging smile, "You want me to walk with you too?"

"Sure," Laura smiled, "Mom can you get me some ice chips?"

"Of course dear," She smiled and left the room.

"Lets just take it easy," Gabby helped support her as she walked out of the room.

"Where's Antonio?" Laura asked one hand on her abdomen the other her lower back.

"He's uh…" Gabby didn't want to lie to her, "He'll be here as soon as he can."

Laura shook her head, "I told him not to do any undercover jobs but he just made detective and he didn't want to say no. If he misses this-"

"He'll be here as soon as he can," Gabby rubbed her shoulders, "Let me know when you've had enough and need to lie down."

"Mommy!" Diego waved his arms happily seeing his mother, "Look! Look!" He proudly held up the bags of presents.

"Oh I see you've been busy," She chuckled,

"Uh-huh," Diego reached out his arms for Laura to take him, "Mommy?"

"Mommy can't hold you right now," Esmeralda tried to explain to him, "She's in a lot of pain."

"Mommy is hurt?" He asked. Still not understanding things despite what Gabby had told him only moments ago.

"Yeah but Mommy will be okay when your brother and sister get here," Laura ruffled his dark hair, "And when Daddy gets here too."

"Oh," Diego nodded his head, "I help?"

"Oh no," Laura reached out and gave him a kiss, "There isn't much you can do but thank you for getting me these flowers and gift. Why don't you go with Abuela and put them in my room."

"Okay," He nodded.

"Oh," Laura rubbed her abdomen as she felt another contraction coming. She gripped onto Gabby's hand and cried as it ripped through her body. They were definitely getting stronger. "Where is he?" She asked angrily more to herself then to Gabby.

"He'll be here as soon as he can be," Gabby assured her, "It's probably just a temporary undercover job for a few hours. They'll tell him as soon as it's safe to."

"I know, I know," Laura took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. The last thing she needed right now was to be stressed out about where her husband was. "I know he didn't want to miss this on purpose. It's just…. I', gong to hurt him if he does!"

"I don't blame you," Gabby told her, "He shouldn't have take any undercover jobs he-"

The elevator opened and Antonio came running. He was running so fast he didn't see them at first. "Laura!" He turned quickly around and jogged up to her kissing her on the lips, "I came as quickly as I could babe."

"Uh-huh," She pulled back and hit him, "You're so lucky you're back in time! And if I wasn't in so much pain I'd hurt you!" She told him.

"I know," Antonio kissed the side of her head, "I'll take over from here Gab's," He told his sister.

"Okay," Gabby nodded. She walked back to the waiting room and smiled as Diego came running up to her, "It'll be out of Christie's way to come and pick Diego up. I'll just take him back to the apartment with me," Gabby told her parents. "I can swing by Antonio and Laura's place and get what he needs. I know I have my key to their house in my purse somewhere." She set Diego on the ground and held his hands she remerged trough her purse. Finding the key she sad goodbye to her parents and lifted her nephew into her arms.

An hour and a half later Gabby and Diego arrived back to her and Matt's apartment. Gabby set his bag by the door and placed him on the floor and took off his shoes. Smiling as he went running happily to Matt and climbed up on his lap.

"Hi Matt!" He yelled at him even though Matt was just inches away.

"Hey bud," Matt kissed his forehead, "You staying here for awhile?"

"Yeah," Gabby nodded her head, "Christie offered to take Eva but I didn't want her to watch all three of them so I called her and sad we' watch Diego. That way my parents and Laura's mother can all be at the hospital. They'll let us know as soon as the babies are born."

Suddenly realizing Jay was in the room Diego turned and looked at him, "Hi," He smiled, "I Diego."

"Well hello," Jay smiled back, "I'm Jay, I'm a friend of your Uncles."

Diego smiled then hoped off of Matt's lap and went to look at his baby cousins who were laying in a playpen Gabby was bending down to pick up Charlotte. The baby smiling a toothless grin as she saw her mother.

Aaserea then began to cry and Matt went to pick her up and she stopped crying. He waved his fingers in front of her face as she let out a few giggles.

"I board!" Diego announced looking at all of the adults. He didn't like that his cousins took up most of the attention and time of the adults.

"Well let's get out some toys for you then," Gabby shifted Charlotte in her arms an went to retrieve Diego's backpack she put it on the floor and let him take out the toys he wanted to plat with.

"Pay ith me?" He asked.

"I-" Gabby started to say but then both twins began to cry, "I'm sorry Diego your cousins are hungry," She knew they'd need be fed soon and wasn't at all surprised. She sat down on the couch and put a nursing blanket over her to cover her up. She then lifted up her shirt and unclipped her bra and Charlotte began to eat. Once Charlotte was settled then Matt handed her Aasera.

"Board!" Diego snouted loudly; the loud noise startling Charlotte and she began to scream.

"Diego!" Gabby scolded, "You can play by yourself," She knew having two baby siblings was going to be hard for him to adjust to but she hoped that he wouldn't be like this all the time once his brother and sister arrived.

"How about we go outside for a bit," Matt suggested.

"Yeah," Jay caught on, "I'd love to see the parks around here."

"Yay!" Diego cheered happily he ran to the door to get his shoes and coat on.
