SSSSSSS

Walking down the dimly lit church I wondered what I was doing here. I haven't really stepped foot inside the church since three years ago when I finally married Carlos. Oh what a grand celebration that was, Ranger didn't spare no expense even though I protested. It did however feel nice to wear the dress I always dreamed of to walk down the aisle to my hot very fine looking husband to be who was standing there waiting for my arrival.

I remember that day so well; I don't think I'll ever forget it as long as I live. The church was packed to the brim of family and friends. Even all of the other RangeMan's came to watch us and probably some of the not so very dangerous skips. Everyone had to come see for themselves that Batman was finally getting his Wonder woman. Something we both said would never happen. Well I guess things change.

Another change hit us both by surprise. Two years after we were married, id began to feel differently on a subject I've always been adamant against. I knew Carlos had pretty much said he felt the same as I did so I just kept my thoughts and feelings about it to myself until one night while in bed he turned onto his side and laid his strong hand onto my stomach.

"Babe?" he asked

"Yea?" I asked watching as he ran his hand over my stomach

"Stephanie I love you very much"

"I know you do and I love you very much also"

"I know we both pretty much said that we didn't want children but recently I've been doing a lot of thinking about it. I think I may want to have one with you, well I KNOW I want one with you"

"Really?" I asked in surprise

"Yea I'd love to create a child with you, my wife. Our child a little part of you and a little part of me, I want to watch you grow big with our baby, and know I put it in there. I want it all Steph, what do you think Babe?"

"Well that is a big surprise but I have a confession to make. I've had a change of heart about it also. I've never told you because I knew from our past we both really didn't want a child or children"

Carlos nodded his head telling me he understood what I meant. I lowered my hand to rest on his that was splayed over my stomach. He watched as I curled my fingers around his hand.

"Soo?" he asked his dark eyes looking into mine

"Yes"

I watched my husband smile a smile id never seen before. I've seen him smile his two thousand watt smile before but this one was different. Before I could give it much more thought, I had a big strong Cuban over me kissing me for all its worth and thus began our baby making plans.

We were so happy, every time we made love or had sex we just knew it could be the time that our baby could be conceived. After everyone of our sessions together and there were many, Carlos would lay a gentle kiss on my stomach in hopes that something would have been created, but month after month we were so disappointed when my period showed up announcing to all of us that all our work was in vain.

"It's ok Babe. Bobby said these things take time. We'll start again when this cycle is over"

"You talked to and told Bobby about this?" I asked in disbelief

"Well Babe he is the company Medic"

"Yea but he doesn't understand the female body and its issues. I barley do and I am one"

"Maybe not all of the ins and outs but since meeting you years ago and now you being my wife he has learned a few things"

"Oh like what?" I asked throwing my hand up in the air and then placing it with the other on my hip

"That it could just take a while and maybe it's not happening because of the stress of trying so much and our jobs"

"Carlos nothing against Bobby because I love him dearly and he has helped me so much in the past but from now on I'll confer with my gynecologist if I have any questions. In fact ill call her now"

"But Babe, Bobby was going to deliver the baby" he said and my eyes nearly bugged out of my head

"Not a chance in hell am I going to have ANY of your men down there" I gritted out

I knew my temper was from a mixture of disappointment that my period had come once again; my hormones were up due to PMSing, and from the stress of trying to get pregnant only to fail month after month. I was lashing out at Ranger, he gave me his patented two thousand watt smile and I turned on my heels and left the room.

"Only teasing Steph" he called out after me

Yea like this is funny. Why was it taking so long to get pregnant? Both Carlos and I are in relatively good health so what's the problem? I sat down in the den and picked up the phone. It rang twice before someone picked up.

"Hi this is Stephanie Manoso, I'd like to make an appointment with Dr. Masso. Yes Friday at three is fine thank you, see you then"

When I saw Dr. Masso I explained what was going on and what we were trying to do, she nodded her head in agreement and wrote notes in my chart. I'd been going in and seeing her for a few months and she helped me to count out my cycle days and figure when I was ovulating, she also told me there could be numerous reasons including the ones Ranger brought up from Bobby. After all this month after month id go to her because I'd be late and month after month I still wasn't pregnant.

I felt tears running down my cheeks as I came out of my thoughts and looked up at the Altar. What was wrong with us? The sparkling of my engagement ring caught my eye, looking down at it and my wedding band, I twirled them around my finger my thoughts landing on my husband and how frustrating this all was becoming.

"Excuse me" I heard next to me and looked up to see an older looking man dressed in black wearing a little white collar

"Oh sorry father I didn't mean to bother you"

"You're not bothering me my child but I can tell something is bothering you"

"Yea I have an appointment today and the last few times I've went for this thing hasn't been good"

"Oh no are you sick?" he asked

"No. You see my Husband and I were married here about three years ago"

"OHHH yes the Manoso's. I thought I recognized you, Stephanie and Carlos right?" he asked

"Yes" I answered watching as he sat down in the pew in front of me

"Oh child" he said his face growing somber "you're not here seeing a divorce are you?"

"NO! No I love Carlos with all my heart. We are trying to have a baby" I said as tears fell again

"Well don't cry that is a happy occasion"

"Not if you're me. The last fifteen months nothing has happened" I told him

"Oh my child remember the scriptures it says and I'm not quoting word for word but it says God gives us the desires of our hearts. If this Baby is what you really desire God knows your heart and will bless you in his time"

"Yea I've heard that before but I'm so discouraged, we didn't think it would take this long. Carlos and I have been through a lot to get to this point in our lives and this is breaking our hearts. I mean we try and we try and nothing" I said looking up at the priest and blushing

"It's ok dear I may be married to the Church but I know how Babies are formed and how they are born"

"Thank you" I said looking at my watch "I'm so sorry but I have to go its almost time for my appointment"

"God be with you my child and may he shine upon you this time"

I smiled at the kindly old priest and excused myself. In my car I looked back up at the church.

"Please God let it be this time" I whispered as I cranked the car over
