Dee's POV...

I was pregnant. Holy shit! I had a kid growing inside me. I couldn't believe this. Before I knew what was happening I felt the room spin and everything went black.

Alex's POV......

I was still yet to recover from the shocking news when I turned to look at Dee and found her passed out.
"Doc she's fainted!" I cried out as I moved towards her and took her hand in mine.
The doctor and nurse immediately moved towards her and started doing the check up and when I saw them move back and the doctor sighing in relief I knew it wasn't a cause for alarm.

"She's passed out in shock. She's going to be fine cause we put an iv with glucose in her so she'll be fine. They both will be. I wanted to know if its okay to do an ultrasound when she wakes up so we can know if the baby is okay." He said.
"Yeah. That's okay. Thanks for everything." I told him and he left the room, leaving me to my thoughts.

I was going to be a dad. Again. I looked at Dee as she slept peacefully,then my eyes drifted to her tummy. Where our creation was laying.

I knew the circumstances that led to us being together weren't exactly favourable, but i made sure that all that was solved the last two months we were apart. I was serious about making her a part of our lives. And her being pregnant was like a huge neon sign saying it was meant to be. She was meant to be in my life. Our lives.

I knew where she was. In fact I was the one who told the kids to be patient. I had promised them that i would bring Dee back into their lives again. But the stubborn kids just had to go ruin the surprise. Well more like they sped up the process for me.

And the fact that she was pregnant just cemented my plan for me. Now I just had to set the ball in motion. and I was going to do it ASAP.

I watched her sleep and my lips instantly turned upward into a smile.
"You are an angel sent to us by Liz and God. Ill be damned if I let you go. I will never let you leave my side. Never." I whispered to her then placed a chaste kiss on her forehead.

Dee's POV...

I woke up to the brightly lit room and winced as it hurt my eyes.
"Oh gosh!! Thank God you are awake. I'll go call Alex." I heard Alessa exclaim as she speedily left the room.
I took the moment to try and remember what the heck happened. Images and memory of our conversation with the doctor came back to me.
Oh gosh! I wasn't dreaming. I really was pregnant.
My hands unconsciously moved to my tummy and I rubbed it,the fact that a living being was inside me still being fascinating to me. How could I have been so careless? Now one mistake could possibly ruin not mine but the Rodriguez lives. What if he didn't want us? What would I do then? Id be forced to go back home. Id be a disgrace. Oh god!

However will all these things running in my head, I knew one thing for sure, I wasn't going to give this baby away, nor would i kill it. It was my mistake and I would never subject an innocent party to suffer for consequences she or he didn't have a part in.

Just then, Alex walked in,cutting my thoughts short.
"Hey,how you doing?" He asked as he moved towards me and took the seat beside my bed.
"Am good." I told him.
"How long was I out?" I asked him after a few seconds of awkward silence.
"Five hours." He replied then he took my hand in his,my heart instantly going into over drive. Even after all these months,he still has an effect on me.
The way he gazed at me,like i was the most fragile thing on earth made me dread what he wanted to tell me. I know I said I was ready for him to reject us but now that the prospects of it actually happening was in front of me, I was scared. Why the heck I was I have no idea.

"I know you aren't really  100% okay but the doc had suggested you take an ultrasound,just to know the baby is okay." He said with a smile,calming my heart a bit. At least he hasn't rejected us yet.
"Am okay with that." I told him honestly and he nodded with a wide grin on his face.

The doc had come to prep me for the ultrasound. He was currently spreading the gel on my still flat tummy and I hissed as the cold liquid touched my skin.
"Don't worry. Its usually that cold. But I won't take long." He assured and I nodded. Alex had moved back to give them space to prepare then after all was set he took his place at the chair besides my bed again, facing the screen.

The doc moved the stick like thing around my belly and our eyes were glued to the screen. Suddenly we heard loud thumping noises in the room.
One was faster than the others though. My tears automatically began running down my cheeks as I knew that that was my baby's heart beat. He/she was alive and well.

I felt Alex hold my hand and squeeze and when I gazed at him, his eyes were glassy and a wide grin was present on his handsome face making my heart tug. Maybe there was hope. His eyes met mine and again, he squeezed my hand.
"That's our girl." He said with so much pride.
"We don't know the sex yet Alex." I told him with a smirk.
"Well, they seem okay." Said the doc interrupting our debate.
Wait did he say...
"They?" Alex asked for the both of us.
"Yes. It may seem that you are having twins. Congratulations." He said with a beaming smile.
"Oh God! This is too overwhelming." I said and everything went black.

I was released the following day. The girls were there with me when I had come to. Yes I fainted again. Alex had been so worried when I had fainted again but the doctor assured him that the news was just too much for me to take in and that was all.

Speaking of Alex, we still hadn't talked about my pregnancy. To say I was nervous would be an understatement. Didn't he know that the silence was killing me?!

Though I tried to hide how nervous I was about this, Alessa, Liz, Hamida and Gina all assured me that all was going to be fine and that I had nothing to worry about. Though their words were comforting, it still didn't ease my mind. I mean they couldn't exactly read Alex's mind to know what he was thinking.

The kids didn't come to visit me and I have to admit I missed them like crazy. But maybe if I got to stay in their lives through my babies, I'd be able to see them more and I smiled at the thought. I have to admit,I had grown attached to them and letting them go had caused me so much heartache. One I didn't know the intensity it had caused me until I saw them again. And I prayed that I got to be apart of their lives again.

Alex had sent Alessa to come get me from the hospital. His reason? He didn't want any harm to come to me on my way home. When i asked why he wasn't driving me himself, Alessa said he had an emergency to take care of first. My mind immediately told me that he was avoiding me and no matter how petty and the fact that I knew I was probably over analyzing shit, I couldn't help it.

The ride from the hospital was filled with random conversation, with mostly Alessa doing the talking as she told me about her son and how much of a rascal he was. Though she said he probably took the naughty nature from her side seeing as her and her siblings had been that way as kids. And I couldn't agree more seeing as how Zoe and Zack acted. Basically she was preparing me for what was to come, the inevitable she called it. She talked about her mum,aunts, her sister Cara who I was yet to meet and her cousins who I was to meet because I was carrying the Rodriguez blood in me. Though she talked to me as if I was a part of their future, I knew not to get my hopes up. I didn't say this though.
I was so lost in the conversation and in my thoughts that I didn't notice we had driven to the Rodriguez mansion until we had parked on the driveway.
"What are we doing here?" I asked Alessa.
"Alex said to drop you off here first. He wants to talk to you then you can go home." She replied with a smile.
"Look, I know you have doubts but I know my big brother. And if there's one thing he values more than anything, its family. Just keep your mind open." She added just before I left the car. With a nod, I walked out and walked to the door. With a sigh, I rang the bell then turned back to see Alessa throw a thumbs up my way to which I replied with a nervous smile. God she was so sweet and I was thankful to have her as a friend.

Val opened the door for me and after we exchanged pleasantries, she directed me to his office. I told her thanks then walked towards his office, the whole time I was looking for signs of those little angels but I didn't see a trace of them. Shrugging I walked to the office and knocked.
"Come in."  Alex's muffled voice said from the other side of the door. With another deep sigh, I opened the door and walked in, closing the door behind me.

Alex was busy on his laptop that he didn't look up when I walked in. He looked so handsome all serious in a white dress shirt that he had rolled the sleeves of, his tattoos peeking from them. I looked away before he caught me drooling over him.
"You wanted to see me?" I said getting his attention.
His eyes locked with mine and a smile spread on his face. He stood up and walked towards me then took me by surprise when he pulled me into his arms and hugged me,his face on my neck as if he couldn't believe I was actually there with him. I put my arms around his waist, returning his hug and he sighed in satisfaction as if my touch had eased all his worries.
"How are you doing?" He asked when he pulled away, his hands still on my waist.
"Am good thanks. And you?" I asked slightly flustered probably due to the small circles his thumbs were rubbing on my waist.
"Good now that you are here." He said smiling.

"Come. Let's have a seat and talk." He said tugging me to the couch at the corner of the room.
Well here goes nothing....
