Suki rolled the car back around to the house where Leon and Tej were waiting.
"About time you guys got back."
"We wouldn'ta run off, besides who gonna carry Letty around?" She said in a smart ass tone.
"Funny" Leon said in the same tone and then turned around to pick Letty up out of her car. Suki got out of the car and jumped up into Tej's arms straddling him.
"Hey baby."
"Hi." Tej said reflecting the he hadn't expected her to jump in his arms like she had.
"What chu doin' later?" She said sudductivley.
"I think you know what I'm doin later.." He said just as seductivley. Letty grunted in pain and took her arms from Leon's kneck and grabbed her stomach.
"Letty!" Leon said going into 'oh my god' mode. She started breathing heavily and he let her down. He realized she was doing the exact same thing Mia did when she'd gone into labor with Miguel.
"What's the matter with her!" Suki asked an expression of fear all over her face. She jumped down from Tej's arms. Leon was searching for his keys and realized they were in the bedroom upstairs. He didn't have time to go get them.
"Keys..Suki give me your keys!" Suki tossed the keys to Letty's new car to him. He stuffed him into his hoodie pocket and picked Letty up off the ground. "You're okay baby, yeah just keep breathin' like that. Call Mia and tell her to meet me down at the hospital, the rest of you too." With that he got into the car after putting Letty in the passenger side and burned rubber coming onto the road.
"Don't..." She took another deep breath. "Don't fuck up my tires." He laughed and put a lock of hair behind her ear.
"Alright," Beads of sweat were forming on her forehead and he pulled the sleeve of his hoodie over his hand and wiped them off. "You'll be alright Letty."
"As long as your..." She stopped for a minute. "As long as your with me I will be." She said quickly. She bent over trying to ease the pain. "She's definatley takin' after you Le."
"You're doin' fine Letty." He got to the Hospital and they admitted Letty by the time they had all gotten down there. Mia'd gotten directions to Letty's room number where Letty was hooked up to an I.V. and Leon was sittng next to her.
"Hey Mi."
"Hi Mia."
"Hey guys. What's the deal?"
"Goin' in early I guess chica. Doc said there ain't no reason why I shouldn't" She took a deep breathe and exhaled slowly. "And Tiger here thinks there ain't no way in hell she stayin' in."
Leon and Mia laughed at that and then a Doctor came in and chased Mia out. She went down the hall where Brian,Suki,Roman,Tej,Vince,Amanda,Jimmy, and Jesse where sitting. When she'd gone in it'd been just her and Brian.
"What's the update?" Suki said looking at Mia.
"I guess she's havin' Tiger today."
They heard Letty from down the hall. "Leon you SON OF A BITCH! Don't even look at me again! YOU HEAR ME!" And Leon trying to recover with "Letty relax, it'll be fine!"
They all busted out laughing.
"Oh yeah, she's havin' Tiger today." Mia said trying to stop laughing. She stopped when she realized everyone was here and Miguel wasn't. "Brian? Where's Miguel?"
"He's in day care."
"Well, go get him."
"Mia"
"Now."
"Alright,alright, I'll check ya'll later then."
"Alright brotha, I'ma sit here with Mia and see what's goin' on wit her girl"
"She's taken Rome." Brian said playfully walking down the hall.
"Oh I know, trust me I know."
About an hour later Leon came out. His hands were shaking but he had a huge smile on his face and his emerald green eyes were lit up.
"She's perfect." Leon was swamped over with hugs from the girls, and 'manly hugs' from the guys. "Letty wants ya'll in there and don't put anything past her."
They all went in the room to see Letty and baby Tiger-Lily. She was Letty with Leon's eyes and barely tan skin. Brian came in with Miguel.
"Mama." Miguel recently started talking out of the blue. Everytime it'd make Mia swell with pride. Miguel reached out for Mia and Mia got him from Brian. He saw the baby. "Wiwy?" He asked pointing at her. It was the most adorable thing he'd done to Letty. Letty had tears in her eyes.
"Set him down here Mia," Mia put Miguel on Letty's stomach. "Hey lil' man."
"' 'I 'etty."
"Wanna hold baby Lily"
"I 'ol Iger, I 'ol Iger!" He squealed. He leaned in against Letty and put his arms in Letty's. Letty was supporting her, but it was adorable to see Miguel think he was doing it all by himself.
"That's about the most adorble thing I'd seen Miguel do." Rome said his voice cracking. Mia smiled and picked Miguel up.
"Let Aunt Letty rest okay? You can hold baby later." He bent down over Mia's arms and kissed Letty on the cheek.
"Bye-Bye 'etty"
"Bye lil' man." They all followed suit except for Vince and Jesse.
"I'm proud of you chica." Vince said hugging her.
"Thanks V." Jesse was over with Leon who was holding Tiger. Jesse was watching her sleep.
"Who's eyes she got?"
"Mine." Leon said full of pride.
"Come gimme a hug Jes," Jesse did as he was told. "Your an uncle you know."
"Yeah. She's perfect Letty." Letty let out a huge yawn.
"Alright Jes, how bout you and me clear out of here and let Letty get some sleep."
"But."
"Let's go." Vince said pushing Jesse toward the door.
"V"
"Now." They disappeared out of the door giving Letty,Leon and their new daughter some time alone.
