All JE's I just play with them.

Last Time: Diesel lived up to his word and for the next two hours I was undisturbed. When I left the tub I was relaxed and rejuvenated. Diesel was lying on the bed in our bedroom with his hands locked behind his head looking totally relaxed and I felt a little jealous. Here I am carrying the weight of two extra lives and he is relaxing. I tamped the jealousy when I saw that dinner was set up on the balcony. He had provided two of my favorite things, food and the beach and he threw in a little peace and quiet for good measure. The jealousy went away and I felt content. For once in my life I didn't want to move I was at ease just sitting here with the love of my life and the two little, well not so little anymore, beans in my belly.

SPOV

The first twenty four hours we were alone and they were blissful. Then all hell broke loose. I woke up in a pool of water and yucky stuff on my beautiful mattress. What is it with me and beds? I finally got a dream mattress and then I ruin it. Well, anyway, I looked around for Diesel who was absent from the bedroom. I then made a really stupid move and I decided to get up and go look for him. I scooted to the side of the bed and attempted to stand up only to be brought right back down by pain tearing into my stomach running from my back to my front. Oh Shit I was alone and in labor. OK let me think. My phone is on the bedside table. I felt around the table trying to grab the phone without moving too much. I finally reached it as another pain hit. I flipped it open and hit speed dial one for Diesel. The phone went straight to voicemail. Shit Shit Shit…. OK I'll call Lester. I hit speed dial two and almost cried as my best friends voicemail picked up. Here I was stuck in bed in pain and no one was around.

After lying for about three minutes another pain hit and I resolved to call 911. Just as I picked up the phone to make the call I heard a small knock on the door. Thank God. I yelled, "Come in!" and in walked my lifesaver. Hector took in my look of desperation and the condition of the bed and scooped me up bridal style without a word. I felt safe. He raced down the stairs and put me into the back seat of his Rangeman vehicle and ran back in and grabbed my hospital bag before jumping in the car. We were on our way.

Hector drove quickly but with expertise and not even fifteen minutes later we were pulling up at the hospital. Hector left the car and carried me in sitting me right on the nurse's desk. I giggled and then gasped as a pain hit. I quickly explained that I was in labor and they immediately came around with a wheelchair. Hector loaded me into it and grabbed the handles giving the nurse a look that said, "I dare you to say anything". There were not many who argued with a Rangeman when they got that look. The nurse escorted us to Labor and Delivery and once I was registered and in a room I broached the problem of my missing men.

"Hector", I said hesitantly, "Do you know where Diesel is?" Hector looked at me and grudgingly shook his head but didn't say anything. I guess I have to be more direct. "Where is Diesel?" Hector looked stricken as he answered, "He is in jail."

"What the hell did you just say!" I yelled as Hector put his hands up in defense.

"Angel, all I know is that Lester is bailing him out. I notified Lester that I was bringing you here and what was going on." Hector really looked sad and I wasn't mad at him and it wasn't fair for me to take my anger out on him.

"Could you please call Ella? She is my substitute birthing coach and I need her." Hector ripped out his phone without a care about the hospital's no cell phone policy and placed the call. Within twenty minutes and four atomic squeezes to Hectors hand Ella appeared. She breezed in with a no nonsense air and immediately hustled Hector out the door.

Ella took over and the nurses deferred to all her decisions. She had called Lester and let him know that there was a time element involved and Les needed to get Diesel to the hospital as quickly as possible. I would probably deliver within the hour. I cried and I cried some more until Ella had enough.

"Alright, calm Stephanie" Ella said pulling out her mom face. "The doctor will be here shortly and then we will get these babies delivered."

"OK Ella I can do this I just wish Diesel was here." Just as I made my wish he popped into the room startling Ella. He rushed to my side and I didn't have it in my heart to be mad at him. Well that was until he dismissed Ella.

"Oh hell no, Ella is not going anywhere. She has been here this whole time while you were out getting arrested for who know what and she is going to be here to see her grandchildren born."

Diesel backed off and sat in a chair before saying, "OK Sunshine whatever you want."

Finally after a grueling 8 hours my little babies were here. Ella in the chair next to me holding Pippa while Mikey was cuddled between Diesel and I on the bed. Lester had just left to go home when I realized I still had no clue why Diesel had been in jail. I gazed up at him and his eyes were still bright with the tears he had shed when he held his children for the first time.

"D, please tell me why you were in jail instead of in bed with me this morning?" Diesel looked chagrined and his face turned bright red as he started to explain.

"Well, after you fell asleep last night I went to find Lester so he could help me set up a surprise for you for when you woke up. I went to his floor and he wasn't there so I decided to head outside and see if he was on the beach. Umm I forgot my keys and I couldn't find Lester and I didn't have my phone or identification on me so I thought I would climb over the gate and in doing so I was spotted by security." I stopped him there with my own question.

"Aren't they Rangeman?"

"Yes, actually they are but he was newer and since I didn't have ID he took no chances and called the cops." I couldn't help it I started to laugh. "So the cops came and I was cuffed and arrested for breaking and entering. So we get to the station and I finally got them to let me call Lester. He got there and we finally straightened the mess out and I popped here. Now you know the whole stupid story."

By the time he finished I was full out laughing. Oh my, that was so funny. I could just picture D and Lester trying to explain their way out of this one. I was so ready to get home and begin my life as a mom. I was thinking of rocking the babies in their state of the art nursery where I know that they are safe and protected with all their uncles watching over them.
