Cali

The cramp was so small it almost went unnoticed, but after weeks of feeling them every few minutes, I still paid attention to each one of them. It was hard not to when, with each one, I was terrified it was the one that would send me into labor.

Breathing slowly and deeply, I closed my eyes and touched the tiny baby bump beneath my shirt.

Just a few more weeks. Stay strong, Nugget. Don’t give up on me, because I will never give up on you. Not until you’re in my arms. We can do this. I promise.

As I stroked my hands over the bump, a tiny little kick pressed against my palm, almost as if the baby was responding to my silent message. A small smile touched my lips. My nugget was strong and tenacious, reminding me of Nova so much. I was glad Hannigan blood flowed through my child’s veins, even if I disliked his or her father.

Garret might be a spineless asshole who had abandoned me when I needed him most, but his sister was my superhero. Without her, the baby and I would have died in that torture dungeon. Manuel’s evil would still have been infecting the world, and I would have been buried somewhere in the backyard. Instead, my best friend and my child’s aunt had not only saved us both, but had taken over the running of the Ramirez businesses.

Once Nugget was born, they would have a future because of Nova.

And because of Nova, I knew my baby would be well taken care of, which was what they would need more than anything. Especially once I was gone.

I didn’t need the doctor to tell me that I wasn’t going to survive giving birth. With all the cramping and bleeding, I knew that my life was on the line just as much as the baby’s was. But that was fine. My life didn’t matter. All I cared about was getting through each week until it was safe for Nugget to be born. Once the baby was out, and in Nova’s arms, I’d happily leave the world.

I just needed to hold on, let the baby grow and get healthier.

Maria walked into my room with a beaming smile on her face. “How exciting!” she gushed in Spanish as she brought me a glass of water. It was my third in the last hour, but apparently I needed a full bladder for the doctor’s visit. I was officially sixteen weeks, and when Dr. Ortega did his weekly ultrasound this time, he said he was likely to see what the sex of the baby was.

Maria’s excitement was enough to produce a small smile from me. “Yes, I can’t wait,” I told her honestly.

There had already been too many surprises in my life. I didn’t need any more. Plus, I needed to know the sex of the baby so I could find the right name for him or her. It was the last thing I could give my child before I died, and I wanted to give it to them as soon as possible.
