Week 36

They were married. They didn't think married life would be any different than their normal life, but it was. Carlos introduced her as his wife. Kim check the Mrs. box on the forms she filled out. Kim and Carlos lay in bed, naked in each other arms.

"I think married sex is a lot better than engaged sex." Carlos said. Kim chuckled as she linked her hand with his.

"Yeah it is." She said looking at their rings, "Especially when your wife is as pregnant as I am." Carlos smiled.

"That's wonderful too." he said as he stared at their hands, "I'm so in love with you." Kim blushed as the dog bounded into the bedroom and jumped onto the bed, "Jake!"

"Careful boy." Kim chuckled, "I guess we should get up."

"Okay." Carlos smiled. He slid out of the bed and put his bath robe on. "Come on, Jake, leave Mommy alone." He walked into the kitchen where Joey and Kylie were already sitting.

"I got us some cereal." Joey said. Carlos smiled.

"Thank you, Buddy." He said pulling out a bowl for him. Joey looked at him.

"When is Sierra gonna get here cause I really want to see her." He said. Carlos chuckled as he poured the cereal.

"She could come at any moment, I guess." He said.

"Good." Joey said.

"Carlos!" Kim cried from the bedroom. Carlos sighed.

"I'm eating." He said.
"Please. come here." Kim whimpered. Carlos got up from the table and went into bedroom where Kim was sitting on the edge of the bed moaning.

"Kim?" He walked over to her and knelt down, "What's wrong?"

"I think it's time." She said. "I'm having bad cramps."

"Cramps? What kind of cramps?" Carlos asked.

"The crampy kind, Carlos." Kim growled, "Could we please go to the hospital and Dr. White examine me?" He nodded.

"Sure. Baby." He said helping her to the feet.

"Could we please see Dr. White?" Carlos said, "My wife is in pain. She's due in four weeks and she is pain."

"Mr. Nieto, Dr. White will see her as soon as he can." Connie said, "Stay with your wife until then." Carlos growled and went back into the curtained area.

"He's still busy." He said.
"He's a doctor, Carlos." Kim said as she rubbed her belly. "I'm feeling better now that I'm here. The cramps are gone."

"I don't care if they are. Dr. White is going to look at you." Carlos said.

"Yes I will." Dr. White smiled, "How are you feeling Mrs. Nieto?" Kim chuckled. Mrs. Nieto still sounded very weird to her.

"I'm fine now. It passed." Kim said.

"She was having big cramps earlier. Could it be time?" Carlos asked.

"I don't think so, but let me check her out okay?" Dr. White smiled. Carlos nodded. Kim smiled at Carlos he was so cute. She winced slightly as Dr. White started to examine her, "All right, You're a centimeter dilated."

"I am?" She asked. Dr. White nodded.

"Yeah, but you're not in labor. Your water is still intake and I'm going to send you home as long as you take it easy." he said, "The baby will be here soon so just hold on."

"See, Carlos? I told you it was fine." Kim said.
"You're the one who freaked out at first.' Carlos mumbled. She smiled at the doctor.

"thank you, Dr. White." She said. Kim laid back and looked at Carlos. he was still pacing back and forth. She had really given him a scare. he had to get used to it cause she would be really going into labour soon.

Week 38

Carlos sat in the back of the bus. His eyelids felt heavy. He was getting back into school. Two classes at a time this time. Kylie and Kim were both keeping him up all week. He didn't think he can last. Doc looked at him.

"How long before you can apply to medschool?" He asked.

"If everything goes as planned, i.e. I don't fail anything this semester....I might be able to start applying next fall." he said.

"Are you serious?" Doc asked.

"Yeah, but I don't think it'll happen. I'm going to have a newborn soon." He said, "Can you believe this is all here?"

"I can't believe you're married to our Kim." Doc said, "And a father....You know I've been riding with you for a long time haven't I?" Carlos nodded.

"Like ah...five years I think it is." He said.

"You've grown up a lot." Doc smiled, "I'm proud of you."

"Thanks." Carlos chuckled as he closed his book. "Want to go get some food? I'm famished."

"Using big words too." He said, "I'm very proud of that too."

"Let's go." Carlos said getting into the seats.

Carlos sat down with his plate. it was filled with onion rings, fries, and had a huge burger in the middle. He had a large chocolate milk shake. Doc stared at him.

"You're a heart attack waiting to happen." He said.

"No I'm not." He said. "I'm only twenty-seven."

"You could still have an heart attack if all you eat is fat." Doc said, "You have three kids to live for." Carlos smiled.

"My birthday is next month. I'll cut back then."

"Promise?" Doc asked. Carlos nodded.

"Yeah I do." He bit into the burger. "This is good man." Their radio's went off.

"55-Adam, you're needed at the Burger Merrit. Gunshot victim."

"Shit." Carlos growled as Doc got p. "Sally, I'll bring this plate back after my shift! I'm hungry!"

"Go ahead, Nieto!" Sally said from the counter. Carlos winked at her as he ran outside.

"You're unbelievable." Doc chuckled as he climbed into the Bus.

"I will not waste perfectly good artery blocking foods." Carlos winked at his partner as Doc flipped on the sirens.

"Like I said, You're gonna die young." Doc said.

"Only the good die young." Carlos smiled. Doc rolled his eyes. Soon, they were on the scene. People were screaming for their help. Carlos bolted out of the bus to the young man who was bleeding. "Sir, can you hear me?"

"I've beens hot." He grunted. Carlos nodded as he noted the wound on his abdomen. he pulled a couple 4X4's fromt he bag and pressed it down.

"Is there an exit wound?" Doc asked.
"Help me flip." Carlos said, "On my count. one. two. three." They lifted the man. "There's not exit wound."

"Let's get him to Mercy. It's probably doing more damage being in there." Doc said. Carlos helped load the man onto a gurney and into the bus. He was covered in blood. At least it would give Kim something to do while being home. She seemed to enjoy working on stains lately.
