Ladies' POV
" I need to get the hell out of here!" Vince roared as I walked in the next day . ]
"Well hello to you too sunshine," I said sighing heavily as I took a seat next to his bed side.
"I'm sorry Lad, its not your fault."
"NO its O'Connor's," I said rolling my eyes. "You see him again?"
"Yea," I said telling him what Brian has told me a few hours earlier.
"You're seriously running the shop by yourself?" He asked turning to me shocked.
"Yea, but I'm not taking the same amount of cars we're used too."
"Lad, you know you have to be careful."
"I know, I know, but its not like Mia can actually do anything besides hand me the proper tools."
"True enough," he said chuckling.
I talked with him a while longer before making my way down to Jesses, where I once again spent the night. The nurses had set up a cot for me, and it helped keep me away from the police who were hounding Mia, and I day and night for information. They were insane if they thought we were going to do anything to jeopardize our family coming home as soon as possible.
As a month turned in to four I began to get anxious. I was now eight months pregnant, and Jesse and Vince both weren't expected to be coming home any time soon. I knew it was selfish of me, but I wanted him beside me when I brought our child in to the world. Despite the added weight I continued to work on the cars, keeping up the shop, as Mia worked the Bodega in the afternoons after school. I knew Brian was still coming around, but it was a topic we just agreed not to discuss. I knew she thought I was forgiving him, but I was just waiting for the baby to be born, so I could kick his ass properly. I was elbow deep in grease when I heard the deep voice I had been dying to hear for the past months.
"Who might this lil grease monkey be?"
Flying from under the car, I wobbled as fast as only a pregnant woman could.
"Leticia ! I missed you so much mami!" I said tears slowly making there way down my face as I held on for dear life, mindless of the damage I was doing to her clothing.
"Holy shit!" She said taking in how big, and round my stomach had gotten.
"8 months now," I said grinning as I glanced up at the team who was now pouring in to the shop.
"Dios how I missed you guys," I said accepting their hugs, and beaming as they rubbed my belly.
"You look like you're ready to pop dawg!" Leon said .
"I know you aren't' telling me you were running this garage all by yourself," Dom said crossing his arms.
"I did what I had to ," I said shrugging.
"Well no more of that," Letty said as they lead me to the car still in overalls.
"But- but."
"Take a load off," Leon said smiling as we all piled in to the Escalade they had purchased at some time in the past few months.
Jesse's POV
"They're driving me insane I tell you," Ladie said as she lay beside me in the room. The doctors had said it was ok for me to move around more, so she cuddled with me on her visits.
"Honey they've only been back a month."
"I know but they treat me like an invalid, " She said groaning.
"I'm just nine months pregnant, not like I'm dying of a depilating disease."
Chuckling I continued with my back massage smiling at her moans of pleasure. Her back had been cramping the past few days, and I was begging to think she would be going in to labor soon. She only had two more weeks left, and early babies weren't unusual.
"Dad came to visit me," I said changing the subject.
"Yea, he stopped by the house, I'm glad he's out."
"Me too, I wish he had never gotten caught street racing."
"I know, aren't' you glad I fixed the Jetta , before he got back."
"Hell yes, he loved all the detail, and of course the NOS."
"I love your Dad," she said smiling as she drifted off.
"He's your Dad too now."
As her breathing evened out I found myself nodding off as well. I woke to Ladies' hushed voice whispering my name.
"Wha?" I asked sleepily.
"My water just broke," She said making me sit straight up.
"What!" I asked.
"I think we're going to have a baby tonight," She said looking at me calmly.
"How far apart are the contractions?"
"Just .. three or four minutes," she said laughing at my expression as she grunted.
"Its not like we aren't' in the hospital," She said giggling as I pushed the call button.
"Only you would be laughing right now," I said shaking my head.
Four hours later our son James Vincent Thompson made his way in to the world. They had allowed me to go in via a wheel chair, and Letty had been the other designated person, but Lad was so much all of their children that they all ended up switching off as the contractions increased. It was actually Dom, and I who were in the room when James took his first breath, and wailed.
"You did It baby," I said kissing her forehead.
"No more kids, tell I can forget how much having this one hurt," She said smiling in amusement as Dom chuckled.
"James Vincent?" She asked me as her lids lowered.
"That's perfect sweetheart," I said smiling as they laid my son on her stomach for her to examine.
"He's so beautiful," She said taking in his full head of black curls, long lashes, and sun kissed skin.
"Just like his Mother."
She had drifted off by the time the team had sauntered in a while later, and I played the role of proud husband, and Father wheeling down to the nursery to show them J.V. who was sleeping peacefully.
"Dawg you names him after me?" Vince said tearing up as I smiled.
"Wouldn't have it any other way bro" I said patting him on the back.
" I need to get the hell out of here!" Vince roared as I walked in the next day . ]
"Well hello to you too sunshine," I said sighing heavily as I took a seat next to his bed side.
