The two of you can still complete the Voluntary Declaration of Paternity form and submit it to the state of California. If it is not sigined in the hospital by both of you and submitted by the hospital for you, you will not get his name on the original birth certificate, but once the form is submitted and processed, you can have the birth cirtificate revised to show he is the father.
Details, along with links to the necessary forms and other resources can be found here: http://www.childsup.ca.gov/Resources/EstablishPaternity/FileaDeclarationofPaternity.aspx
