Kie's POV:

JJ and I dated from age twenty-one to twenty-three and then we started fighting and broke things off. We had only been broken up a few weeks when Sarah started setting me up on blind dates as she wanted me to move on. I didn't think so was ready but then I met Dylan.

We fell in love right away and just connected on another level. We started dating and things were going great until I found out I was pregnant. The problem is, the baby is JJ's, not Dylan's.

I made an appointment to be extra sure the test was right and it was confirmed that I was pregnant. I couldn't believe this was happening. JJ never wanted kids and I was fine with that. But we started fighting and stopped having sex so I forgot to take my birth control and then one night in the middle of a huge fight, he kissed me and told me he was sorry and that he loved me. We had sex that night and we were good all night but the next day the fighting continued and then we ended things.

I didn't know who to tell first, JJ or Dylan. I decided to tell JJ. I drove to his house and he asked why I was there and I said we needed to talk. He seemed annoyed and I didn't know how to say it, so I just told him.

"I'm pregnant" I said to JJ

"Mine?" He asked

"Yeah, I wouldn't be telling you if it wasn't"

"Shit..." He said putting his hands behind his neck and pacing

"How the fuck did this happen?" He yelled

"You know exactly how it happened!" I yelled back

He went to speak but he stopped himself. He turned his back to me and I said, "Say it... I can take whatever you're going to say"

"I don't want to regret saying it"

"But you're thinking it so fucking say it"

"I knew fucking you that night wasn't a good idea"

I thought I could take it but that hurt. I looked at him with tears in my eyes and said, "You're right, it was a stupid idea"

I left his house pissed off and I went to Dylan's and told him that I was pregnant with JJ's baby and he was so comforting. He told me he wanted me and the baby.

That night, I went home and there was a knock on the door. I opened it and JJ was there. He was holding a baby onesie and it read: My mommy is the best

I started crying again, but this time they were happy tears. JJ hugged me and he said, "Our baby is so lucky to have you as a mom"

Our hug broke and JJ apologized for his behavior earlier and he said he had a total panic attack when I told him. He's terrified of being like Luke or our kid turning out like him. We talked about it and then we started fighting when JJ suggested we get back together.

"JJ, we broke up for a reason. I'm with Dylan now"

"So, you aren't carrying his baby"

"Dylan wants to be a dad, JJ... I love him and we broke up before I found out I was pregnant. It changes nothing..." I said annoyed

"He isn't the fucking father"

"Maybe not biologically, but he'll be the step father"

"Fuck that!" JJ yelled getting up and leaving

We didn't talk for a few days but I went over and told him I wanted him in our baby's life. We eventually worked things out and JJ was there for every part of the pregnancy. He made every single appointment. He loved feeling the baby kick and talking to my belly. It was actually really adorable.

The pregnancy was going by fast and my water broke and we headed to the hospital. Dylan and JJ were both in the delivery room. They were both supporting me and I was in so much pain. I've been in labor forever and I wasn't progressing. They wanted to do a c-section if I didn't dilate anymore. I was stressed and the nurse said, "Ms. Carrera, if you need a c-section, you'll only be able to have one person in the room with you"

JJ and Dylan both looked at me. JJ looked at me with fear that he'd miss the birth of his daughter and Dylan looked at me saying I better pick him. I didn't say anything. They were giving me another hour to progress.

I was crying and said, "I'm scared"

"It's going to be okay" Dylan said

"Kie, you've got this... Our baby is just stubborn, she gets that from me" JJ said with a smile

I nodded and laughed and he knew I needed to laugh. They checked me and I was going to get ready to push.
I was having an intense contraction and JJ was holding my hand and saying, "Breathe, it's almost over, I've got you"

Dylan was standing there on his phone. I wanted to have this baby naturally. I said, "Get the fuck out of this room"

JJ let go of my hand and he looked crushed.

"Not you" I said

The nurses had to escort Dylan out as he didn't want to leave. JJ held my hand again and helped me through the next few contractions. The doctor said I was progressing and it was looking good. It was time to start pushing and JJ let me squeeze his hand and he helped me through the whole thing.

"I can see the head, dad want to see?" The doctor asked smiling

JJ looked at me for permission and I nodded yes and moved to look and he said, "Kie, our daughter is almost here... She has your beautiful dark hair. Come on, just a few more pushes"

A few pushes later, our daughter was born. Our baby was placed on my chest. Our baby, mine, and JJ's. I looked at him and he said, "You did so good"

I was so caught up in the moment admiring my baby girl when I snapped out of it when I heard a nurse speak.

"Do you have a name picked out?" A nurse asked

I looked down at the tiny human in my arms. She was so perfect, half me and half JJ. Yeah, JJ and I've fought a lot the past year, but the night we made our beautiful daughter, we were so in love. I understand now why it's called making love and not just having sex.

Our beautiful baby girl, we had agreed on the name Sophia Anna Carlson after Dylan because I was engaged to him. He wanted to be in her life and I made that decision, however, seeing her here, in my arms... She isn't a Carlson, and I don't want to be either. Us girls are going to be Maybanks.

"Yeah, Sophia Anna Maybank" I said as the nurse handed me the birth certificate

JJ looked at me and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Remember we agreed that she should have the same last name as her mom"

JJ got the biggest smile on his face and he asked, "Sounds like her mom wants to be a Maybank"

"She does" I said smiling

"I love you, JJ" I added

"I love you too" He replied back with the biggest smile as he gave me a quick kiss

We still had a lot to talk about but we'd do that when we were home from the hospital. We both just admired the calm baby in my arms and then I said, "Jayge"

"Yeah?"

"Thank you for giving me the most beautiful little girl" I said looking into his beautiful ocean eyes that matched our daughters

"It was a team effort, besides, you did all the hard work"

He kissed my head and my whole world felt complete. I could live in this moment forever. Just the three of us, my family. It was JJ's turn to hold our daughter and when he did, my heart melted. He was so gentle and loving with her. She already had him wrapped around her tiny little finger. I'm so glad that I ended things with Dylan and kicked him out. I know it was the best decision and JJ and I are meant to be together and raise our daughter together.

We had been home with our daughter for a week now and JJ and I were laying in bed and he asked, "Kie, if you would've needed a c-section, who would you have picked?"

"Do you really have to ask that?"

"Yeah, I do..."

"Obviously, I would've picked you. You're her dad and I wasn't going to let you miss the birth of our daughter"

"I love you"

"I love you too" I replied kissing him
