Kim was starting to waddle now. She was just starting to get uncomfortable. She still had five months left so she had no right to complain to anyone. Being so some regularly, she showed this pregnancy quickly.
"I want to take you home and ravage your body." Manuel whispered. Kim chuckled as she walked up the steps to her ex's house.
"You'll need to hold that thought." Kim said ringing the bell. She heard Aidan's screams and feet pounding on the ground.
"Ask who it is first." Alex yelled from the kitchen.
"Who is it?" Aidan asked. Kim chuckled.
"It's Aunt Kim and Uncle Manuel." She said.
"Mommy, it's Aunt Kim and Uncle Manuel." Aidan yelled.
"Well, let them in." Alex laughed. Aidan opened the door.
"Hi." He smiled.
"Hey, Buddy." Kim said stepping in, "Where's Mommy and Daddy?"
"In the kitchen. I'm playing." Aidan ran off to the play room.
"Full of energy." Manuel said.
"Just you wait." Kim walked into the kitchen. Jimmy was standing over Joey and Lance helping them with their math homework. Alex was feeding the twins, "Hey."
"Hey, Mom…Manny." Joey mumbled.
"Come help." Alex held out a spoon. Kim sat herself down in front of Amelia…or was it Julia. She still couldn't tell them apart when they were dressed alike.
"We just got back from the doctors." Kim said.
"Open up, Mia." Alex smiled putting the spoon into her daughter's mouth. Ah so I have Julia, Kim thought. "Is everything okay?"
"We found out the sex." Kim grinned.
"Already?" Alex looked up. "They found the sex out, Boys."
"Are you going to tell us?" Joey asked. He loved this part.
"Well, we had names picked out before hand." Kim told them.
"Diego if it was a boy and Carmen if it was a girl." Manuel said.
"Well?" Alex grinned brightly, "Diego or Carmen?" Kim looked at Joey. She looked so excited.
"Diego Manuel Lopez." She said. Alex clapped her hands.
"A little boy!!" She squealed throwing her arms around Kim, "That's so wonderful!! I'm so happy I saved Aidan's stuff." Alex laughed.
"Me too." Kim said smiling at Manuel.
"how you taking it?" Jimmy chuckled. Manuel beamed with pride.
"Just perfectly." He told him, "I love this. Diego is going to be so loved." Alex chuckled.
"I just can't believe all of this is still happening." Alex said, "Who knew a marriage of convince would become a marriage of love."
"I think all those cheesy romance novels you read says that." Jimmy said. Alex stuck out her tongue.
"Congratulations, Mrs. Lopez." Lance said, "Diego is a great name." Kim smiled.
"Thank you." She said rubbing her stomach. Alex chuckled as she continued to feed her daughter. Kim finally looked happy and thrilled to be alive. That meant a lot to Alex.

Alex was happy. She could actually say that she was happy. Even though the twins were crawling, she was happy. Jimmy was taking Lance, Joey, and Aidan to baseball games and actually accepting his son for who he was.
"Grab Julia." Alex laughed grabbing Amelia before she crawled into the kitchen. Kim groaned grabbing the other twin.
"I'm too fat to be doing this." She said. Alex rolled her eyes.
"You have like five more months of this so you better get used to it." She said. The women walked back over to the couch and sat down. Both Amelia and Julia struggled out of their grips. "it's amazing how strong they are."
"They're super babies." Kim said as Aidan ran in.
"Hi aunt Kim." He squealed and ran out. Kim chuckled. God, she loved that boy.
"let's get some cheese cake." Alex said tossing Amelia up in the air.
"I can always go for cheese cake." Kim said standing up with Julia in her arms. Alex walked to the kitchen and put Amelia in her highchair. She heard a thud behind her and Julia whimpered. Alex turned around and saw Kim laying on the floor.
"Oh god." Alex ran over to Kim, "Kim, are you okay?" Kim didn't move. Panic started to swell in Alex's chest. She touched Kim's stomach, "Lance! Joey! COME HERE! Kim, please wake up." Alex checked Kim's pulse. It was racing. "Oh my god."
"Mom??" Joey ran over to them, "Oh my god. Is she and the baby okay?"
"I don't know, Son. Call an ambulance and then call your fathers." Alex said looking at Lance, "Can you stay here with the kids?" Lance nodded.
"I'll take the girls upstairs and keep Aidan upstairs." He said picking up Julia and going over to the highchair and picked Amelia up.
"Thank you." Alex loomed over Kim and checked all of her vitals. She didn't understand what had happened. Kim wasn't complaining earlier. Her heart was racing.
"They're on their way." He said.
"Is Kim on any medication or anything like that that you know of?" Alex looked at Joey. He shook his head.
"I…I have no idea." He whispered. "Is she going to lose the baby?"
"I hope not." Alex said staring at her friend.
Alex sat in the waiting room watching Joey. He was pacing back and forth. Alex looked a Jimmy.
"Make him sit down." She said as the doctor walked in.
"How's my mom?" Joey asked.
"She is okay. Her blood pressure was sky rocketing." He said, "I'm putting her on bed rest until the baby comes. We might talk about inducing her early."
"The baby is fine?" Alex asked. The doctor nodded.
"He's perfectly fine as long as we keep her blood pressure down for the rest of the pregnancy." he said.
"We will. I promise." joey ran out of the room to go see his mother. Alex smiled at Jimmy. She watched the relief wash over Jimmy's face. Kim and the baby were going to be okay. That was the most important thing right now.
