Everything was going okay for the Barba clan. Zach and Sophia had found a three bedroom house, close to Rafael and Olivia's house. Everyone helped moving, Olivia and Sophia locked themselves in what would be their granddaughter and daughter's room. Zach tried to get a peak, but Raf said,
"It's better to wait until they are done mijo."
Zach looked over at his father,
"Your mother and aunt Amanda went in and redid almost everything I'd done when I decorated your's and Brook's nursery."
Zach chuckled, following him out to the backyard where Noah, Tyler, and Rafa were. They had fixed the backyard to function for baby toys, a grill and a sitting area.
"Are you ready for work tomorrow?" Tyler asked Zach.
"Yeah, I'm excited." Zach smiled.
"How's Sophia? She's getting close to papi." Noah teased.
"She's great. Little Lucia is almost ready to come meet everyone." Zach smiled.
Noah and Tyler finished the backyard by cooking dinner on the new grill. Everyone got a plate and sat around the table eating. After an evening of eating, everyone sat around on the outdoor furniture talking before everyone went home. Zach was sitting on the bed waiting for Sophia to get out of the bathroom, Sophia was taking a shower when she looked down and saw blood.
"ZACH!"
The door opened quickly.
"What's wrong!?" Zach asked as he grabbed a towel and walked to the shower as Sophia got out.
Zach wrapped the towel around her.
"What's wrong?" he asked again.
"I'm bleeding." Sophia whispered.
Zach carried her to the bed, laying her down on it, calling Liv.
As Liv and Raf laid in bed, as her phone started ringing. She frowned as she answered,
"Zach?"
"Soph is bleeding." Is all he said.
Liv could tell he was crying.
"Shh, it's okay, sometimes that happens, get the car started and Sophia loaded up and we will be there soon."
Liv got up, getting dressed,
"Get up papi, you're going to be an abuelo again."
Raf got up and after getting dressed they both rushed over to Zach's house, pulling up as Zach gotrSophia settled in the backseat of their car.
"I'm riding with Zach and Soph." Raf said as he opened the door.
Liv nodded.
They all got in the car, going to the hospital. When they got to the hospital, they immediately took Sophia to the delivery room.
"She's early." Zach said.
Raf sat beside him.
"Sophia is only 37 weeks it's not too early, you and Brook were at 36 and both of you turned out okay." Raf said, trying to sooth his worried son.
Zach nodded and looked down.
"Have you thought about asking Sophia to marry you?" Raf asked.
Zach nodded.
"Just don't do it in the hospital. That's mine and Noah's thing." Raf chuckled.
Zach laughed, then looked sad.
"What's wrong mijo?"
"How did you do it?"
"Do what?" Raf asked.
"After what happened to mom, knowing that one is your's and the other's not. I couldn't imagine being in that position." Zach looked up at the door where they took Sophia.
"It wasn't easy when we first found out, your mother took it harder than I did, why?"
"I just always wondered, I guess curiosity."
Raf nodded.
The doctor came to get Zach. They both disappeared through the double doors as Liv sat down with two coffees. Raf took a sip, smiling as Liv laid her head on his shoulder. A little while later Noah and Tyler came through the door, Tyler carrying Rafi who was asleep. They all sat there without a word, Raf took a hold of his grandson, along with his blanket and a book and that was how they both fell asleep only waking up when Zach walked out and everyone got up.
"Lucia Olivia Barba is here. 5.3 lbs and 20 inches."
Everyone yelled and congratulated everyone. A couple of hours later everyone is let in to see Sophia and little Lucia. Raf was the first to hold her, with tears in his eyes. Liv hugged him from behind as he sat in the chair.
"Mi nieta."
Raf looked over at the rest of the family, including Brooklyn who had just gotten there. As he looked at all the happy faces he smiled widely and said,
"Mi familia."
