AN: I still don't anything and I am not making any money off this.

I apologize about the delay but my husband is in the process of joining the military so I won't be updating as often as we are trying to enjoy our time together before he leaves for basic and AIT.

I hope you all enjoy this story.

Steph's POV

I woke up feeling better than I had in a while. Meeting Carlos was amazing and he gave me feelings I had never felt before. I wondered what he was doing while he was home and if I was going to see him again. I hadn't had thoughts like that about anybody since Andres and I really didn't know what to do about those thoughts.

I got up and took a shower while my sweet boy slept a little longer. I came out of the shower and heard my dad in Frankie's bedroom talking to him. I was so lucky to have such a supportive and loving family, it was amazing to have their support and love with everything I was going through.

I walked into Frankie's bedroom after dressing into white shorts and red tank top, Frankie was giggling at my dad and it made me smile. I got Frankie from dad and began changing him and getting him dressed. I put him in khaki shorts and onesie that said 'Mommy's my biggest fan' and had various sports apparatus's on it.

I took us both downstairs and set Frankie in his high chair for some cereal for breakfast while I ate my pancakes, eggs, and bacon. Mom had just begun to set our breakfast on the table the doorbell rang, I got up from the table and walked to the door.

I opened the door to Lester and Carlos standing there both looking hot.

"Um…Hi…What are you two doing here?" I asked.

"Well, Beautiful, Carlos, showed up at my door first thing this morning wanting to see you. So, I brought him here." Lester said and Carlos gave him a dirty look.

"I was wondering what you and Frankie were doing today and if you would like to go to the Zoo." Carlos responded.

"I think that would be fun, but, we just sat down for breakfast."

"Stephanie, Honey, who's here?" Mom called out from the dining room.

"Lester and Carlos." I called back to her.

"Invite them in, I made enough breakfast for them to eat with us." I opened the door wide enough for them to come in and led them to the dining room.

Mom was already setting places for them at the table. I took my normal spot beside my sweet boy, Carlos sat beside me and Lester sat on the other side of the table. We all began eating the delicious breakfast my mom made, except Frankie, who I was feeding cereal to.

After a quiet breakfast I helped my mom clean up the table and load the dishwasher. I cleaned Frankie up and Lester took him from me while I went to get a diaper bag ready. Luckily I don't have to worry about carrying bottles since I breastfeed.

I walked downstairs once I had everything ready and Lester had left but Carlos was sitting there holding Frankie, and playing with him. I smiled at the sight Carlos melted me by playing with my son. I grabbed Frankie's car seat out of the closet and took him from Carlos and put him in the car seat and buckled him in.

We loaded into a black SUV, Carlos told me it was his dad's car, I got Frankie buckled in and ready to go. I was surprised that Carlos even wanted to take us to the zoo, most of the guys want nothing to do with me since I have baby.

We pulled up to the Miami Zoo and Carlos paid for us to get in. We walked through all the exhibits talking about our lives, literally, spending the entire day at the zoo. Frankie loved watching the monkeys and kept laughing at them. We walked into a small building that had zoo memorabilia and I bought Frankie a stuffed panda and a Zoo onesie.

Carlos walked over to a desk and then called me over, I pushed Frankie's stroller over to the desk and Carlos stuck a small brown stuffed pony in the stroller with Frankie and handed me some paperwork, he had adopted a kangaroo in Frankie's name. I smiled as I felt tears well up in my eyes at how sweet that is.

He grabbed my hand and we each pushed a side of the stroller to go back to the SUV, He loaded Frankie in and then held the door open for me to get in. I don't know who said Chivalry was dead but it was alive and kicking in Carlos.

When we got back to the house Frankie was asleep in his car seat and I set his car seat on the porch and Carlos and I sat on the porch swing.

"I had a great time today Babe." Carlos said.

"I did too. Thanks for taking us to the Zoo."

"I enjoyed the time with you." He replied.

I looked at him quizzically, "Really?"

"Really Steph, I enjoyed spending the day with you and Frankie, He's an amazing little guy." I smiled down at my sleeping son.

"He is pretty amazing isn't he?" I said

He chuckled, "Yeah, he is and you're a great mom."

Carlos leaned in and gave me a feather light kiss and I could feel the sparks as soon as his lips touched mine. We both pulled away.

"I hope I can get more time with you before I have to go on a mission." He told me.

"I do too." I replied.

"I better head home and let you and Frankie get off to bed." I smiled.

"I hope to see you soon." I said and then looked down embarrassed and thinking maybe he wouldn't want that.

"You will Babe." He responded as he lifted my chin to look in his eyes.

He gave me one last kiss and then bent down and kissed Frankie on the forehead. I picked up the car seat and carried Frankie into the house and up to his room. I changed his diaper and put a sleeper on him before kissing his head and putting him to bed.

I walked into my room and fell asleep quickly thinking of the wonderful day I had with Carlos.

AN: I know this was a short chapter but we have so much going on right now and I really wanted to update. I don't know how long it will be before I'm able to update again but I will update again as soon as I can. Right now I'm focusing on my family and preparing to watch my husband leave for the military. Please leave a review.
