To my reviewers- yeah fork over the baby names. I need all the help I can get.
It'd been three months since Letty had told Leon. She was just starting to show. Miguel had grown and could almost sit up by himself. Brian never had tried to take him back to Miami with him. They had just assumed that he had gotten reattatched to Mia and broken up with Monica. Jesse was as good as he used to be. Vince had a steady girlfriend and everything was going perfect. Or so they thought. Letty was going in for a sonogram today and Leon was more excited than she was almost.
"Is it time to go yet?"
"Leon would you be patient."
"I wanna know if I'm gonna have a son or daughter." He whined.
"Me too babe but you gotta be patient." Then Brian walked around the corner with Miguel in his arms.
"Hey guys do you mind if some friends of mine from Miami come out here for a little while?"
"No, but they can't stay at the fort. We ain't got no place to put them." Leon said reasonably.
"Nah man, I just want them to see Miguel. You guys seen Mia?"
"No,she's prolly at the store by now though." Letty said in a matter-of-factly tone that she had recently started using.
"Thought ya'll had a sonogram appointment today."
"We do at 12;30"
"Well it's 12;20 now." Brian said pointing to the clock above Leon and Letty's head.
"Oh shit! Oh shit Letty we're gunna be late!"
"Leon with your driving we'll be there with time to spare babe."
"What's that supposed to mean?" They got into the Skyline and shot off down the road. Brian mentally laughed at them. They made a good couple like he and Mia. Miguel started crying so Brian got a bottle out of the fridge. He didn't need Letty to tell him what Miguel's cries meant amymore. He had figured it out on his own.
"Here you go lil' man." After he fed Miguel he put him down for a nap and called Mia.
"Hello?"
"Hey babyface"
"Hey Brian. What chu need?"
"Well, I'm alone in this house. I just put Miguel down for a nap and I was wondering about us"
"Us?"
"Yeah incase you haven't noticed we haven't made any official yes or no's and I think Miguel would wanna know if his mama and daddy were together or not"
"You're sure it's Miguel?" She said playfully.
"Well of course I wanna know too."
"Umm we'll talk about it when I get home okay?"
"Alright baby talk to you later"
"Bye" Mia hung up the phone.
Leon was sitting in the waiting room of a Doctor's office, bouncing his knees impatiently.
"Leon could you hold still for 2 seconds please?"
"No, I've tried. I'm nervous."
"You're nervous? I'm the one they're gonna poke and prodd."
"Yeah but I'm still nervous." He pleaded with her. Then a nurse came out.
"Leticia Strong?"
"Here." Letty replied as they both got up.
"Leticia Strong? I like it." He whispered eviliy into her ear.
"Shove it Leon." She said playfully. The nurse led them into the appropriate room and took Letty's information down on a chart. Then a Doctor came in.
"I'm Dr. Anderson." She said politely and shook both their hands. "If you wanna hop up on the table we'll get started." Letty did as she was told.
"This gel might be a tad bit cold but it'll help me guide the probe." By god she was right that gel was cold. Letty about came off the table in a shiver. Then she put the probe on Letty's stomach and slid it around until she got a good picture of the baby. "There's the head." She told Letty as she pointed to it.
"Wow." Letty said looking at the screen."That's our baby Le,"
"I see." Leon said totally blown away at what he was seeing.
" Well everything looks good. You want to know the gender?"
"Yes please," Letty said happily.
"You guys are having a little...girl. Congratulations." She wiped the gel off of Letty's stomach. " You can put your jeans back on now." She said and left the room. Letty put her jeans back on and jumped into Leon's arms.
"I'm so happy Le."
"Me too babe."
"Mia's gonna be exstatic." Leon got his cell phone out of his pocket and handed it to her.
"Do the honors." Letty called Mia and told her that their first born child was going to be a girl. Every one within a mile heard Mia in her fit of excitment. It was pretty hilarious watching Letty hold the cell phone out from her ear in an attempt to not go deaf. They got home and were pretty much bombarded with 'Congratulations'. Then Jesse came down from his room and hugged Leon. Then moved onto Letty and spun her around.
"I'm gonna be an uncle. I'm gonna be an uncle." He said in a sing song voice doing some sort of dance to it. It was all Leon could do to not laugh at him. Leon kissed Letty on the top of her head and brought her closer to him.
"I love you Let."
"I love you too Le."
"And I love the both of you." Jesse said as he gave Letty another bear hug taking her off the ground.
"Jesse!" She sqeualed as she came off the ground.

Mia came home and everyone was in bed except for Brian who was sitting in the living room rocking Miguel.
"Hey hansomes."
"Hey angel."
"He still awake?" Brian looked at Miguel.
"Not anymore." Brian went upstairs quietly to put Miguel in the crib that was in their room.
" What's on your mind babe?" Mia asked seeing the look on Brian's face that he only got when something was on his mind.
"What do you think if some friends of mine from Miami come out here for a little while?"
"I think that'd be okay, they'd have to find some where else to crash though."
" Good. 'Cause I've been tellin' them about Miguel and they want to see him,"
"I'm sure Miguel would want to see them." Brian sat down beside her and put his head on her shoulder. "What's goin' on with you?" She asked moving her shoulder trying to get an answer.
"Just thinkin' "
" 'Bout what?"
" Us. Where we're going."
"Do you want to go somewhere? I figured you were happy with the way things are."
"I am. I love Miguel with all of my heart, and I love you to Mia." He got up and got down on his knees infront of her. "Will you marry me?"
At first she sat there in shock. She had expected him to say lets just be friends who had happened to have a son together. She was very,very wrong.
"Mia?"
"Yeah Brian. Of course I'll marry you." She said and wrapped her arms around his neck. Then pulled back to kiss him, but he broke it off.
"Don't feel pressured to do it because of Miguel. I mean"
"Brian shut up and stop worrying for once." He smiled and kissed her. He stopped again. "What is it now?"
"Forgot the ring." He said as he slipped it on her finger. It was beautiful. It was a silver band with two glittering diamond stones in it.
"Oh my god, Brian where did you get this thing?" She said mesmerized by it.
"That's for me to know and for you to love."
"Well I do. Thank you very much." She said with pretend attitude in her voice.
"There's no need for thanks Mia, I love you it's almost beyond comprehension."
"That was sweet." She said lovingly. Brian yawned and put his head back on her shoulder. "Why don't chu get some sleep? You look tired."
" I am" He got up and turned back around. "Come with me." She smiled and he picked her up. "Fine then I'll just take you by force."
"Brian!" She squealed and started laughing as he carried her into their bedroom.
