"Hey!" I cheered and engulfed myself between them for a much needed group hug, "I haven't seen you guys in forever."

"It's been too long." Drew smiled. Rudy and JD walked over to us and Drew lightly fist bumped my stomach, "Drew is a good name for a boy."

"We've got a whole list of names on Y/n's phone." Rudy laughed and did some weird bro handshake with Drew and greeted Madelyn with a hug.

"We need to be prepared." I chuckled. Arms then went around my shoulders and I looked up to see Chase, "Tammy!" I joked and spun around to hug him.

"Madison is looking for you." Chase told me and I scanned the crowd to look for her. I saw she was below the balcony signing shirts and posters.

"Babe, I'm gonna go hang out with Madison." I told Rudy.

"Do you want me to come with you? I was gonna go grab a drink then I can come with?" He offered. I wanted him to have fun and let loose, I didn't want him to worry so much about me.

"I'll be okay, promise. Go get a drink and hang out with everyone." I assured. I knew he wanted to argue but before he could I spun around and walked down the metal stairs. There was an area below that was gated so Madison could stand safely on the other side while talking to fans.

"Hey!" I tapped her shoulder. It was hard to hear since the music and shouts were so loud but we managed. Fans began greeting me and I smiled at them, some even reaching for my hand.

"Look at you!" She rubbed her hand over my stomach and bent down a little to say hello to the little one before standing back up to look at me, "Where's Pankow?"

"Getting a drink, he's full 'dad' mode today." I snickered. I looked above us and saw Rudy now with a drink in his hand waving to me, he blew me a kiss and I returned it.

"Come back up here!" He insisted as he waved me up. I nodded my head and gave him the 'one minute gesture'.

"I just wanna say you and Rudy are so cute!" A fan said to me and I smiled and held her hand, "I can't wait to see the baby posts once their born!"

"Rudy!!" People cheered behind her. I saw my fiancé walking down the stairs towards me and wrapped an arm around him.

"I got you a water." He pulled it out from his back pocket and I opened the top to take a drink, "Madelyn has granola bars, too."

"That sounds so good right now." I began to feel hungry as I said bye to the fans and followed Rudy back up the staircase, Madison trailing behind us.

"It's time for the announcements!" Chase exclaimed and we all began making our way to the stage. Me and a few others, including Madison's girlfriend, all stood in front of the stage in the little gated off area.

"So we've got a big announcement for everyone!" Madelyn said into the mic and pulled it away from her lips to allow the fans a moment to freak out.

As Rudy was on stage he looked down and smiled at me, out of habit I let my hand rest right on top of my bump. It was like a small shelf that Rudy made a game out of called 'how many things can I balance on our son', it was hilarious.

"But first!" Madison stopped everyone, "Who wants to see the first ten minutes of the new season!?" Everyone went absolutely crazy, even I did. I haven't seen it so when it began playing Rudy and the others jumped down to watch.

Rudy stood behind me and let me lean some of my weight onto him as we watched the screen above us, "Do your feet hurt?" He leaned over and asked.

"A little, not too bad." I answered. He reached around me and patted the edge of the stage and helped me lift myself onto it. Some people in the crowd send us 'aww's' and 'that's so cute' and I couldn't help but smile.

When the ten minutes were over they went back on stage and I sat on the edge, making the tension in my feet feel much better.

"We have been renewed for a fourth fucking season!" Chase suddenly announced and I plugged my ears because of how loud the crowd was.

"Okay, okay," Rudy calmed everyone down after a minute, "One more special announcement for today!" He leaned down and grabbed both my hands to help me to my feet and I stood next to the cast in the stage, "As a majority of you know, my fiancé is pregnant but what you don't know is the gender." Madelyn, Carlacia, and Madison went crazy with huge smiles on their faces.

"It's happening!" Madison fanned her face to stop the tears.

I was handed an extra mic so I could talk as well, "So we wanted to take advantage of having you all here and let you know..." I trailed off and looked to Rudy. We held up three fingers and began slowly counting down.

Once all our fingers were down he wrapped an arm around and we looked to our friends and shouted, "It's a boy!!"

"I knew it!"
"Yes!!!"
"Rudy Jr!"
"No effing way!"

The amount of love that was wrapped around us from the fans and our friends was astonishing. They pulled us into a group hug and Rudy carefully put his hands around me so no one would squeeze me too hard.

"I love you." Rudy pressed a kiss to my lips as we stood surrounded by our friends.

"I love you, too."

Just some long pregnancy fluff. A lot more people enjoy it than I thought would. I really enjoy writing about babies and pregnancies but I don't want to do it so much than it's overwhelming.

I hope everyone enjoyed Rudy being protective and loving <3
