Alex glanced in the living room for Kim. She wasn't there. She glanced in the kitchen but she wasn't there either.

"Doherty, where's Kim?" Alex asked. He shrugged.

"Saw her going to the bunks awhile ago." He said.

"Great." Alex jogged up the stairs. She looked around. Kim wasn't asleep in bed. "Kim?" She walked to the bathroom.

"Can you come in here, Alex?" Kim asked her softly.

"Ah…why?" Alex asked not wanting to smell anything unpleasant.

"Please, Alex." Kim whispered. Alex immediately walked in. Kim's voice sounded full of worry and angst. She looked at Kim.

"What's wrong?" She asked kneeling down in front of her. Alex watched a few tears down her cheeks, "Tell me."

"I'm pregnant." Kim whispered. Alex's jaw dropped.

"Pr-Pregnant? I know you had a scare a few months ago. Are you sure you're pregnant?" Alex asked softly. Kim held up the test.

"It's positive." Kim said. Alex looked down at the pregnancy test.

"Oh Kim…" She said softly. Kim started to cry. Alex wrapped her arms around her and held her softly. "Is this a happy cry or sad cry?"

"I d-don't know." Kim sobbed. Alex couldn't help but to smile.

"Kim, it's not the end of the world. Just tell Carlos." Alex said, "You need to tell him." Kim pulled away and shook her head.

"I can't Alex. We have too much on our plates right now." Kim said, "We don't even have a wedding date set yet." Alex smiled.

"Well, set one then, Kim, and tell him you need to take your due date into consideration because of it. Come on, Kim. There's going to be a huge New Years Eve party down there. Come enjoy yourself for tonight and then tell Carlos tomorrow." Kim nodded.

"Thank you, Alex." She said softly.

Carlos came up behind Kim and placed a party hat on her head.

"You need to have a hat if you're at the party." He said. Kim smiled.

"Your hat is cute." Kim chuckled fixing the hat on her head.

"I aim to please." Carlos winked, "Try DK's weenies."

"Um…No." Kim looked down at the plate in front of her. Her stomach lurched. Goddamn morning sickness, Kim thought; "I'm not feeling too well." Carlos frowned and felt her forehead.

"You're not hot." He said.

"I'm fine." She chuckled pushing his hands away from her.

"Ten minutes everyone." Jimmy announced. Kim smiled nervously. She was going to do it. She was going to tell Carlos.

"You think Kylie managed to stay up with your mother?" Carlos asked. A small smile returned to Kim's face as she shook her head.

"No I don't think so. Kylie probably dozed off around ten and Joey probably dozed off around eleven." She said pouring herself some apple juice. No wine. No caffeine. Carlos chuckled softly.

"You are probably right." He said, "Jake probably chewed up your mom's shoes and she probably yelled at him."

"Definitely, Baby." She said walking to the television.

"Here we go." Carlos smiled as the ball began to fall.

"Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six. Five." Everyone yelled, "Four. Three. Two. One. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!"

"Happy New Year." Carlos said softly and kissed him. As he pulled away, she looked at him nervously. This was it. She was telling him.

"Hap…. I'm pregnant." She said. Carlos' eyes widened.

"Wh-What?" He whispered quietly. Kim swallowed.

"I'm pregnant, Carlos." She said again. Carlos ran his hand over his head nervously. His heart pounded in his chest. This wasn't Vangie. This was Kim. This was the love of his life. He wanted children with her and now it was happening. He smiled slightly. He was going to be a father again.
