Authors note: Sorry this took me so long but real life has kind of taking over. Thanks to those people who have been reviewing my story.

Betty came home after finding out she was pregnant to prepare telling Gio. She didn't know how he was going to react especially since they just got engaged. Gio wasn't home from work yet so she decided to make dinner and think of a way to tell him.

An hour later Gio came home from work exhausted. All he wanted to do was eat dinner and crawl into bed with Betty. When he walked into the apartment he smiled at the smell of dinner already being made.

Betty walked out from the kitchen and smiled at Gio as she gave him a kiss.

"Hey, Beautiful, what are you making?" Gio asked as he set his car keys and phone down on the bar.

"My father's Chicken Tamales with some rice." Betty announced as she finished taking then pan out of the oven.

Gio was impressed Betty had picked up quite a few cooking ideas. Not only from him but she was also learning from her dad.

"So, how was your day today?" Betty asked.

"I'm exhausted. Both stores were so busy today that I had to go back and forth. I'm lucky that I was able to hire more people to work, so, all I have to do is go back and forth," Gio announced as he yawned.

"It sounds like you had an eventful day. Do you want a glass of wine or a beer with dinner?" Betty asked.

"I'll have whatever you are drinking." Gio said as he took the pan of Tamales and the rice to the dining room table.

Betty brought out two glasses of water and set them on the table.

Gio took a sip of the water and wondered why they were having water. Every night since they started living together they had a glass of wine with dinner especially if he was cooking.

"Betty, are you ok?" Gio asked.

"Well, I wanted to talk to you about that," Betty announced as she sat down at the table.

"Ok, what's up?"

"You know how I have been sick and extra tired lately," Betty said.

"Yes,"

"Well, I'm pregnant!" Betty let out as she looked at Gio to gauge his reaction.

Gio was quiet for what seemed like an eternity until he picked Betty up and spun her around.

"I'm going to be a daddy?" Gio asked as he looked at Betty.

"Yeah, I know it's a little soon and all but we aren't very careful when we have sex…."

"Betty…. Betty, listen I'm excited. We will just have to get married sooner than what we were talking about. Any ways the sooner that we are married the happier I will be." Gio let out with a smile.

"Why are you so good to me all the time?" Betty asked as tears fell down her face.

"Betty, why are you crying?" Gio asked as he looked Betty over.

"I'm scared, Gio! This is all happening so fast for me," Betty let out.

"Betty, what are you afraid of?" Gio asked

"What if I'm a horrible mother or even worse I die young like my mom and leave you and our baby alone….."

"Betty, look at me, you're not the only one who is scared. I'm always afraid that I'm going to turn out like my dad. That is why I am always so good to you. I don't want you to think for one second that you don't mean the world to me." Gio let out as he gathered Betty up in his arms.

Betty cupped Gio's face in her hands and said "Gio, you are nothing like your dad. You know everyone of your family members say that you remind them of your grandfather. But I think you're a lot like your mother. I know no man ever wants to hear that but I think in this situation you wouldn't want to hear you're like your dad."

"Wow, were going to be parents." Gio stated as he looked at Betty. She was still sitting on his lap with her head on his shoulder.

"So, how are we going to tell our families? Hilda already knows because she was with me when I found out." Betty said.

"Well, why don't we have everyone over for dinner?" Gio suggested.

"That sounds good." Betty let out as she got up off of Gio's lap.

"How about we have everyone over on Sunday?" Gio suggested.

"That is a great idea….Oh before I forget; I have a doctor's appointment on Friday. Do you think you could be there with me?" Betty asked.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world, Betty." Gio said as he kissed her forehead.

Betty and Gio finished dinner as they talked about their eventful days and when they would officially get married. After that they both watched a little TV then went to bed.

A couple days later Betty and Gio were sitting in the doctor's office waiting for their turn.

"Ms. Suarez!" The nurse let out. Betty and Gio both got up and walk back to the room they would be in.

"So, what are we checking up on for you, Ms. Suarez?" The nurse asked as she looked over at Gio.

"I'm pregnant!" Betty let out as she watched the nurse stare at her fiancé.

"I'm sorry but you look very familiar." The nurse pointed out as she addressed Gio.

Gio thought she looked familiar but couldn't remember her name.

"Oh, we went on a date before, I remember. " The nurse announced.

Betty rolled her eyes as she looked between Gio and the nurse. "Oh, look, pregnant lady sitting here waiting to be examined!" Betty let out.

The nurse finally took a look at Betty. "Well, how did you two meet or is this a mistake?" The nurse asked.

"Excuse me, we're engaged!" Betty let out frustrated.

Gio was starting to get upset at this nurse for upsetting Betty. "Look, could you just do what you have to do with my fiancé and then leave?" Gio announced as he looked at the nurse.

"Well excuse me. I will just get another nurse then!" The nurse let out as she left the room.

"You went on a date with her? She seems friendly!" Betty said sarcastically.

"Well at the time I wasn't interested in the fact that she was friendly." Gio let out.

"Gio!!! That was more than enough information then I needed to know!" Betty exclaimed as she shifted uncomfortably on the bed.

"Are you ok, sweet heart?" Gio asked.

"My breakfast this morning isn't agreeing with me or the baby." Betty announced.

"I'm sorry, Beautiful."Gio said softly.

The doctor came in before the other nurse came in to check on Betty.

"Ms. Suarez, how are we feeling today?" Doctor Martin asked.

"Nauseous, bloated, uncomfortable, and the funny thing is I love every minute of it."Betty let out as she smiled at Gio.

"You must be the father. Is this your guys' first baby?" Doctor Martin asked.

"Yes, I am and yes, this is our first baby." Gio let out.

"Betty, when was the day of your last period?" Doctor Martin asked.

"Honestly, two months ago." Betty announced.

"So, your eight weeks and we will schedule an ultra sound in a week." Doctor Martin let out.

"Could you possibly tell me when the baby will be due?" Betty asked.

"Well, it is July 7th and the baby was conceived two months ago, I would say March 7th." Doctor Martin explained.

"Wow that seems so far away." Gio said as he looked at Betty.

"It seems long, but it will go by pretty fast." Doctor announced. "Well, Betty, let me get you some prenatal vitamins and I think that's it for the day. Oh, make sure you guys make an appointment for the ultra sound."

"Ok, thank you, Doctor Martin." Betty said.

"No problem!"

Gio took a look at Betty and smiled as he thought about their baby. "Wow, Betty, March 7 will officially have a little girl or boy." Gio announced.

Betty kissed his lips as she wrapped her arms around him and said "I know I'm so excited, Gio!"

"I love you, Betty." Gio said softly.

"I love you too." Betty let out as she placed another kiss on his lips.
