Cinco de Mayo 2025
Clara
It’s been a couple of months since we found out Lena and I were pregnant. When Brissa’s test turned negative, we were okay with her trying again. But the day after our Valentine’s Day fuck fest, she ultimately decided that she didn’t want to get pregnant yet.
While we were a little sad with her decision, we’ve come to agree with her, especially since Lena was told she was having twins.
It was a lot to process, but we all agreed with Brissa’s decision not to get pregnant with the new transition from what we thought would be two babies to three.
It put things into perspective, especially when we forgot that since the boys are twins, we are most likely to have more than one baby per pregnancy.
I would’ve been okay with having twins, but I’m thankful I am carrying just my one little miracle.
Seeing Lena navigate basketball while being pregnant has been eye-opening to how strong we know she is.
She gives new meaning to the term superwoman.
The way she was still able to work out, train, play basketball, and look damn good at it is absolutely incredible.
Meanwhile, I, on the other hand, have been dealing with the worst morning sickness, and it’s just barely letting up. I’m so thankful everyone has been so helpful and understanding of my less-than-eagerness to have sex or engage in our usual fuck fests.
Joaquin and Tonio have been the absolute kings they are whether it’s carrying me everywhere, feeding me, pulling my hair back when the morning sickness doesn’t quit, and massaging my growing body when I feel tired from school.
I swear, after today, they deserve a blowjob and more for all they’ve done for me.
Today, Lena and I have an appointment with our OBGYN, and the guys are taking us. Brissa has to sit this one out since they only allow one person in the ultrasound room besides the patient. We fought hard for her to join, but the front office didn’t budge.
I feel bad because I know she might not show it, but I can tell she feels left out. She’s been spending more time at school and less time with us. She says it’s finals, but I know my girl, and she needs to feel like she’s a part of Lena and I’s pregnancies.
After today, I’ll talk to Lena and the guys, and hopefully we can do something to make her feel included.
“Clara Lopez. Lena Lopez.” Two nurses shout behind the office door. I grab Joaquin’s hand as he helps me up from the awful faux leather seat in the waiting room.
“Good luck! I can’t wait to find out what we’re having,” Lena squeals, causing Tonio to chuckle and shake his head.
He catches my eye and blows me a kiss before leading Lena towards the nurses.
“I can’t believe we’re going to see our baby,” Joaquin smiles with tears forming in his eyes.
“Me neither, Daddy,” I wink. He groans and lightly squeezes my hand. Joaquin loves it when I call him Daddy, now more than ever since he’s about to become one.
We follow our nurse to a room where Joaquin helps me get ready.
The ultrasound technician I’ve come to adore enters the room a few minutes later, greeting us and turning on the monitor. After applying gel to her wand, she warns me it might be cold and slides it across my lower abdomen. Joaquin grabs my hand as we stare into the monitor.
“Are you ready to hear your baby’s heartbeat?” she asks. We nod, and as she moves the wand, we hear our baby’s rapid heartbeat loud and clear. Joaquin kisses my hand, and my tears fall down my face.
“Okay, so everything looks good. Your baby is measuring correctly for its gestational age. Now, we’re looking for the sex today, correct?”
“Yes, please!” Joaquin shouts, causing the technician to chuckle.
“Overeager Dad, huh?”
“Very much,” I say.
“Okay, so it looks like you are having a… girl. Congratulations, you two!” the ultrasound technician says, as Joaquin leans in to kiss me quickly.
“We’re having a girl, baby. Thank you for going through all of this and giving me a daughter. I love you so much. Daddy’s little girl,” he winks, conveying the double meaning to his last statement.
“I love you too! Daddy’s little girl indeed,” I reply, kissing him once more before wiping his tears as he does mine.
“That’s so sweet. Well, everything is looking great, and the front desk will schedule you for your next appointment. Congratulations again!” She cleans my belly with a soft paper towel and leaves extras for me to clean up.
“We’re having a girl. I can’t believe it. I’m so happy,” Joaquin says, leaving kisses all over my face as I wipe the gel off my belly.
A little girl. I love her so much already. I wonder how Lena’s appointment is going.

Brissa
It’s been a long semester, and I can’t wait to make it back home and rest in my bed after these grueling finals. Freshman year at UT is no joke.
I wanted the full college experience, and I got it. I went to so many events that I’ve hardly spent time with the guys and girls this past semester. It got worse when we found out Lena and Clara were pregnant, and I wasn’t.
I have to admit it was devastating in the moment, but I quickly realized that I was still a teenager and not ready to have a baby yet.
While technically I’ll be a mother to the babies Lena and Clara were carrying, the thought of being pregnant isn’t something I want right now.
Perhaps in a couple more years, when I’ve graduated from college and we get into a new routine with the babies we’re having now, then maybe I’ll be ready.
I grab a ride share to our apartment and hope that everyone is still at the OBGYN appointment so I can have a quick nap or a little solo playtime.
The elevator stops at our floor, and I take the keys out of my backpack and open the door. I enter the apartment and hear voices coming from my room.
They’re here. Well, there goes my alone time.
I hang my backpack by the door and drop my keys on the kitchen island before throwing myself on the couch. Hoping they didn’t hear me come in, I close my eyes for a minute.
“So when are we going to tell her? Today was her last final, and I’m sure she’s tired. Maybe tomorrow?” Lena’s voice like a whisper through the closed door.
Tell me what exactly? I know they found out the sex of our babies today, but why are they being so secretive about it? Is there something else?
Lately, I’ve been feeling left out with the guys off playing basketball and the girls bonding over their pregnancies, so I distanced myself and spent more time at school. The last time we all had sex together was back on Valentine’s Day when the girls found out they were pregnant.
Sure, Tonio and Joaquin are always fucking, but I haven’t had sex with any of them since that night. And fuck do I miss it. Miss them.
“I think I heard her come in,” Joaquin says.
I quickly get up and make my way to the balcony, softly closing the door on my way out. I admire the view, amazed by how beautiful it is under the sunlight.
The door slides open, and my blissful bubble is popped when all of them join me outside.
“Wow, okay. All of you at once. That isn’t overwhelming,” I mutter, turning around to see their smiling face.
“We’re sorry, Mamita . We’re just so excited to tell you the sex of the babies,” Lena smiles.
“Okay. So what did you find out?” I ask, regretting sounding so withdrawn when I examine each of their excited faces. Well, I’m a bitch, huh?
“Clara is carrying a girl and Lena is carrying boys,” Joaquin shouts, jumping up and down with happiness.
“Wow, that sounds great. Y’all must feel so happy. I mean, wow. I’m happy for y’all,” I stutter, faking a smile as I hug them one by one.
“What’s wrong, Mariposa ? Why aren’t you excited? They’re your babies too,” Tonio declares, grabbing my hand, his eyes focused on my face.
“What? I am excited! Super excited. Two boys and a girl. Oh, they’re gonna have y’all wrapped around your fingers.”
“That right there! You keep saying ‘y’all’ like you’re not including yourself in there. You do know just because you’re not carrying them doesn’t make you any less their mother, right?” Clara shouts, surprising me. She’s never raised her voice, and I know I’ve hurt her feelings.
My mouth opens and closes, struggling to find words. I know that, but don’t I feel like I am?
“You don’t feel like you are, don’t you?” Joaquin voices my exact thoughts and tears well in my eyes.
I had no idea that not being able to feel our babies would take such a toll on how I view myself.
I can imagine this is somewhat similar to how some mothers who don’t carry their baby and use a surrogate feel.
It can be hard to connect with your baby when they’re not growing inside you.
But I’m sure once I feel them near me, none of my fears will matter because they’ll feel like mine. Like ours.
“Our babies are your babies, and when the time comes, your baby will be our baby. That’s how it is and how it will always be.
You are the mother of our children, and no one will take that away from you.
Our babies have three moms and two dads.
Always. Okay, Mariposa ?” Tonio whispers, clutching my face in his hand and wiping my tears.
I nod, and they all come close, bringing me in for a hug.
It feels like we’re whole. Like home.
I step back and wipe the rest of my tears before I say, “I’m sorry. I was just feeling left out and not connecting with our babies. Can we spend time together tonight? I really want to feel our babies kick, talk to them, and thank them for making me their Mama.”
“Of course. Tonight it’ll be just us and our babies,” Lena declares, grabbing my hand and leading me inside.
With smiling faces, we walk towards our bedroom, stripping down our clothes and putting on our pajamas before lying on our bed.
Tonio and Joaquin put a movie on as I cozy up between Clara and Lena with the guys on either side of them. I put a hand on each of their bellies and close my eyes.
“Hi, my beautiful girl and my precious boys. It’s your Mama. I can’t wait to see you. I promise I’ll love you forever and do anything to protect you. Now, be good for your mommies in there, or you’re going to hear from me.”
The babies kick and I smile, feeling heard and like we’re finally becoming one big happy family.
Joaquin, Tonio, Clara, and Lena were the only ones I needed once upon a time. But now, with our babies coming so soon, it makes it that much better. Like we’re one. Like a family, and nothing will break that bond.
