It was weird thinking Kim was pregnant with his child, but it was a good weird. Kylie was three now and it was a good age range between her and this baby. Carlos grinned brightly as he watched Kim flip through a pregnancy magazine. They were at their first doctor's appointment.

"What are you looking at?" Kim asked without looking from the magazine.

"You. Is this how all the appointments go?" he asked. Kim glanced at him.

"Yeah. We always wait in the waiting room first." Kim smirked.

"Right." Carlos said, "I'm new at this."

"I know." She said, "It's been eleven years since I've been here. I need a nice refresher course." Carlos chuckled softly as the doctor came out.

"Zambrano?" He called out. Kim and Carlos both stood up. He extended his hand, "Dr. White. You're new patients."

"Yeah. My son is ten so it's been awhile since I've been here. I think the doctor here before you was Dr. Smith." Kim smiled.

"I think you're right." He said, "Kim Zambrano and…."

"Carlos Nieto, the baby's father." He said. Kim giggled.

"Congratulations." He said taking Kim's information down. "So, you're about eight weeks pregnant?" Kim nodded.

"Yeah. I believe so." She said, "Is it possible for me to get an ultrasound today? I just need to see the baby to be sure I'm pregnant."

"Sure." Dr. White chuckled typing on his computer; "We'll draw some blood also. Let's see, your due date is around August 28th."

"A couple of weeks before my birthday." Carlos grinned.

"It's a perfect birthday present." Kim said as the nurse began to take her blood. "Ouch. Be careful." The nurse smiled softly.

"I'm sorry." She said.

"So Mr. Nieto, is this the first child in the family? You seem to be having the new father excitement about you." Dr. White asked as he watched the nurse draw blood. Carlos chuckled nervously. Maybe that was because this was his first appointment he's ever been to.

"No, Sir. We have two. A boy who's ten and a girl who's three." Carlos said, "This is our first baby together though."

"Then this baby is truly special." Dr. White said, "All right, Kim. Let's get you up on that table."

"Great." Kim said, "With my last baby, I stopped work around five months. I'm a paramedic. Would you suggest five months too with this one?" Dr. White nodded as Kim got on the table.

"Yes, but use your own digression. If you're feeling poor or really well, judge for yourself. You know your own body and how it's feeling." He said. Carlos glanced at Kim. He hadn't even thought about the work situation.

"Okay." Kim smiled as Dr. White applied the jelly to her belly. She jumped slightly from the coldness. Carlos grinned taking her hand. Here it was. They were going to see the baby.

"All right. Let's look." Dr. White said as he started the sonogram.

"Where's the baby?" Carlos asked staring at the screen. He had no idea how to read these things. He strained his eyes.

"Right there." Dr. White pointed to a bean like thing. "There are its arms and legs." Carlos looked at it.

"That's the baby?" Carlos asked him. Kim watched Carlos' face. His expression was priceless. He seemed so happy.

"Yeah it is. That's our baby, Carlos." Kim said to him.

"Wow…" Carlos whispered. He couldn't believe that tiny thing was his child. Dr. White smiled.

"So, you are eight weeks and due in August." Dr. White said, "I'll print out the photos so you can start your baby book." Kim grinned brightly.

"Thank you so much, Doctor. I have enjoyed my visit here." She said.

"Spread the word then." He said. Carlos stared at Kim's stomach as Dr. White cleaned up. Seeing the baby…Seeing the tiny little baby made this pregnancy seem real. They had a due date. This baby was real.

Week 10

Kylie peered out of her bedroom Door. She looked at Kim. She was lying on the couch watching television. Her morning sickness was utterly terrible. Kylie tip toed into the living room and dropped to her knees. She crawled behind the couch and toward the other hallway. Jake lifted his head up and glanced at her. He was too tired to care what she was doing. He lay back down.

Kylie crawled down the hallway and then got to her feet. She ran to Kim's bedroom and closed the door. She smiled with happiness.

"Okay. Time to be like mommy." She pushed a chair to the dresser and opened up one of the drawers. She pulled out one of Kim's red tank tops and pulled it on. She looked at herself in the mirror and pulled open the top drawer, which was Kim's make up drawer.

"I need to look good for my man." Kylie said to her reflection. She pulled out the red lipstick and started applying it to her lips. "Ooh good." She grabbed the eye shadow and put it on her eyelids.

Kim shifted on the couch. She grunted. She wasn't this sick with Joey. Kim looked towards Kylie's room. She was way too quiet. She got up and went to the bedroom.

"Ky?" She opened the bedroom and saw it was empty. This couldn't be good. "Kylie?" She heard giggles from the main bedroom. Kim groaned and went to her room to find Kylie covered in make up. Kim growled, "Kylie Starr Nieto!" Kim snapped.

"Look. I'm you." Kylie smiled. Kim frowned deeply at her. She was so happy and proud of herself at that moment.

"You're a very naughty girl." Kim said walking up to the dresser. "You're not supposed to use my make up. You're a mess." Kylie's lips quivered.

"Momma Kennedy let me use her make up all the time." She whispered. Kim stared at her. Kylie was only trying to have fun like her adopted mother had her do. Kim sighed and nodded.

"It's all right, Kylie." Kim walked up to her and grabbed a tissue. "Let me take this make up off and Mommy will put some new make up on." Kylie's face immediately brightened up.

"Thank you." Kylie sat on the dresser as Kim removed the make up.

"So you and Momma Kennedy put make up on. You remember that?" Kim asked. Kylie nodded.

"Yeah." She said closing her eyes as Kim applied some purple eye shadow, "Is it okay if I still miss her?" Kim nodded.

"Yeah, Baby. It's okay." She said, "She was your mommy for awhile. Just because you have a new mommy it doesn't mean you have to stop loving her or missing her." Kim blew gently on Kylie's eyes; "We can go visit their graves this weekend if you want."

"Yes, please." Kylie said. Kim smiled.

"Okay. Pucker your lips." She said and put red lipstick on her daughter's lips, "Very good."

"Am I gonna have a brother or a sister?" Kylie asked.

"Oh I don't know yet, Baby." Kim smiled, "We'll find out if it's a boy or a girl in like two months."

"Cool." Kylie smiled.

"Al right, Baby. You're done." Kim chuckled. Kylie looked in the mirror. She grinned brightly.

"Oh! I look like you!" She cried.

"Yeah you do." Kim chuckled watching Kylie's eyes sparkle. "Kylie, I love you so much." Kylie grinned.

"I love you too, Mommy." She jumped off of the dresser and ran out of the room. Kim smiled as she started to clean up. Kylie was such a great child. She was excited to have this baby. She sort of wanted a little girl, but she'd be happy with any sex.
