Mercedes pulled up to the fire station with Carlos. He had been released from the hospital and the station set up a surprise party. Helping him up the stairs, she kept his head down, so he wouldn't see. When they got to the top of the stairs, everyone yelled SURPRISE! And Carlos jumped. Everyone was there from the 55 that they knew, as well as her mother and Mikey Jr.
"Oh my god! You shouldn't have!" Carlos smiled and looked at everyone. There was a buffet of food and a cake that said 'Welcome Back, Carlos' on it.
"Welcome back, Carlos!" Kim walked over gave him a hug.
"Thank you, Kim" Carlos blushed slightly and looked at Mercedes, who had moved to Mikey and picked him up. They had decided to raise Mikey as their own son. Everyone patted Carlos on the back or hugged him to welcome him home. After a few minutes, Carlos moved to Mercedes and kissed her softly. Looking at Mikey, who was toddling around slowly. He smiled and wrapped his arm around Mercedes. Everyone started to get plates and move to the tables to eat.
As everyone was eating, Mercedes stood up. They all looked at her and smirked.
"Ok! Everyone shut up. I want to talk" Some of the guys booed her and threw pieces of roll at her and she laughed.
"All right, children!" She looked around and then down to Carlos.
"I wasn't sure how I was going to tell you this, but." She just looked at him and he looked back.
"The day you were shot, I found out something. Something I'm not sure how you will react to after the entire event over the past 18 months. That stomach flu I had that morning wasn't the flu. I'm pregnant."
The room fell quiet as everyone stared at her in disbelief. What were they? Fiends? Is all they did was have sex and make love? Were they rabbits? Carlos looked down at his plate for a moment. Everyone waited for his reaction. Mercedes fidgeted slightly.
"You mean. You're pregnant, as in, again?" He looked up at her. Her heart sank. Maybe he wasn't ready for a baby with Mikey and all. She sighed and her smile turned to a slight frown.
"Why are you frowning?" Carlos stood up and looked at her. Mercedes shrugged as Carlos lifted her up in his arms, cradling her. She looked up at him in confusion
"We're going to have a baby!" He spun her around and held him to her, pressing his soft lips to hers. He put her down and hugged her tightly. Cupping her face with his hands he kissed her again, more deeply and passionately.
Everyone made whooping, cheering and awe noises as they kissed repeatedly. Bosco stood up; looking annoyed and clanged his plate for attention.
"Ok. So your gunna try again. You know what this means right?" Everyone stared at him, waiting for a snide comment.
"What Mo?"
"I get to name the baby!" He hugged Mercedes and Carlos and smiled. Everyone let out a sigh of relief. The surprise party had turned into an announcement party. Lieu transferred Mercedes to the Paramedic squad and Taylor back to the Fire squad. He looked at everyone and just smiled. The Third Watch 55 was certainly a family. All for one and one for all.
"Oh my god! You shouldn't have!" Carlos smiled and looked at everyone. There was a buffet of food and a cake that said 'Welcome Back, Carlos' on it.
