Synopsis: This chapter deals with Mercedes pregnancy and the baby's birth. If you haven't read my others, it starts 7 months after 'Wrong Place at the Wrong Time'.
~~~~~~~~~~
Mercedes sat up from her laying position on the doctor's office's bed. Looking towards Carlos, who was standing next to her, her enlarged stomach showed signs of her 8-month pregnancy. The doctor looked at her smiled. Mercedes waited for the doctor to tell them how her pregnancy was going.
"Your not dialated yet, and the baby is perfectly positioned. Soon the baby will move so his head is towards your hips and you will start to feel minor pains. Anything too big, you know to call."
"And the spotting?" Mercedes looked up. She had noticed blood in her urine and had gotten worried.
"There wasn't much blood according to you, and it could have just been some of the lining. I wouldn't worry too much. But if it happens again, call my office." The doctor tried to re-assure her.
"Thank you Doctor." Carlos said, shaking the doctor's hand.
"You're very welcome. Remember; come back in 4 weeks." He walked out.
"Love, I'm going to get the car. I'll meet you outside." Carlos said, kissing her softly, placing his hand on her stomach.
"All right. Just let me get dressed." She watched him leave and smiled. He seemed too happy since he found out she was carrying his child. She got dressed and walked out the door, going to the Nurse's desk to set up her next appointment.
Walking towards the car, she got in and buckled her seat belt. Looking to Carlos, she smiled.
"Are you sure you don't want to know what the baby is?" She looked at him. She wanted to know the sex, but he said they should let it be a surprise.
"Yes I am sure. I don't want to know until I can hold the baby in my arms and say the name we picked out." Carlos nodded defiantly. Mercedes shook her head smiling as Carlos put the car into drive and headed towards work. They just bought a brand new 2004 Mitsubishi Endeavor. He knew they would need it since they had Mikey and now another on the way.
Carlos pulled up to the station and ran to her door and opened it. She smiled and got out, shaking her head.
"You don't have to open the door for me; I'm not going to explode."
"I know. I just like helping you. I want your pregnancy to be as easy going as possible." He wrapped his arms around her waist. Looking up at him she smirked. They were only 3" apart in height, but she still had to look up slightly to look into his eyes. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him close to her. He looked from her eyes to her lips and kissed her softly.
"Okay! We can't stop the PDA! I know you're in love, but seriously! In front of work?" Bosco walked towards them bag in hand. They broke their kiss and looked towards him.
"Oh you're just jealous." Mercedes teased her oldest brother, poking him.
"Yeah, jealousy, that's it." He rolled his eyes.
"Hey Bosco." Carlos nodded to him, smirking at Mercedes joke about him being jealous.
"Hey Carlos. How did the appointment go?" He looked towards Mercedes and waited for her to answer. He knew what her answer would be.
"Same as always." She didn't tell her brother about the spotting. She knew he had things on his mind. He didn't want her working while she was pregnant after what happened to Mikey, and he was worried about her overall.
"Figured you would say that. Keep that nephew of mine safe." He patted her stomach and smiled.
"How do you know if it's a boy? We don't even know." Mercedes looked up at him.
"I just do. He's gunna be my slugger and Mikey's gunna be my little tight end." He walked towards the precinct, laughing.
"Keep dreaming! You can't slug someone in a pink dress!" She yelled after him.
"No way you're putting my son in a dress!" Carlos turned him towards her, going back to kissing her softly.
"Who said it was a boy?" She smiled and closed her eyes, kissing him back.
"Ahem." Doc stood next to the truck, watching them. Carlos turned to look at him and blushed.
"We're coming." Carlos took Mercedes hand and took her upstairs so they could change. Doc looked at Kim as she came down and shook his head.
"They live together, they work together, and they spend every waking moment together. Don't they get sick of each other?" He rolled his eyes as he started getting 55-3 ready.
"I have no idea. Jimmy and I worked together and we got sick of each other in 5 minutes." She snorted and moved to 55-2 preparing it.
