The belly as you see it on the show is my actual pregnant belly.
It was truly this magical coincidence that I will forever be grateful for.
James and Baratta have developed a special bond while working together on the hit FX series.

Ever since she first walked in for her audition, Carla has brought so much magic to the show.
Both she and her character quickly became the soul ofMayansM.C., James said.
She touched her belly and said Im pregnant.

And I was like, Are you serious?!
She and Adelita are so beautifully linked.
In episode 2, Angel tenderly cradles Adelitas bump (see our exclusive photo above).
You know whats so funny?
Me, Clayton, had never done that before.
I was so scared!
I asked Carla if it was ok for me to touch it.
She was so sweet and told me, Of course!'
He is also just as excited as his character that the baby may be Angels.
I really hope that the baby is Angels.
Baratta also remembers Cardenas nerves during filming.
Shooting that scene with Clayton was so sweet.
He was so nervous, his hands were shaking!
I really love that I was able to go on this journey alongside Adelita.
Baratta said baby Diego was welcomed into theMayans M.C.family with open arms.
They looked out for me and spoiled me so much.
It was really so magical the way they were all with me.
I was blessed with having a healthy pregnancy, free of complications.
Thanks to that, I was able to work until 15 days before Diego was born.
And now shes excited that fans will get to share the experience.
I cant wait for fans to watch this season and experience this with me.
Theyre truly the best fans in the world, we wouldnt be here without them.
I cant thank them enough for embracing us how they have.
I cant wait to share my pregnancy with them through Adelita this season.
Mayans M.C.airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. on FX.
