ALEX

All troubles in the world we humans fear or concern ourselves with somehow floated away as my hand glided across the scope of her back. We had moved from the couch to the bedroom ravishing each other in kisses and touches making up for time lost. A silent thank you on my end to all the universe for sparing me in not being six feet under to be here relishing this moment of having the woman I love in my arms.

Her curls tickled my nose as she lay across my chest tracing one of the marks I received from the attack as the darkness drenched us in its arms with only the full moon providing some light.

"And to think right now you wouldn't be here with me," she whispered as she traced each mark delicately with her fingertips.

"But I am," came my rebuttal as I tightened my arms wound around her." And I can't think of any other place I'd rather be."

"Not even with that Gia girl," she said it so lowly I almost missed it. I gazed down at her, confused as to where that question came from until I caught the way her body tensed and shifted away from me taking her warmth with her.

"First of all her name is Gina and second where is this sudden interest in her coming from?"

It didn't take much effort to tell even in the dark she was rolling her eyes as she watched." Whatever her name is. What's the deal with her? I saw the way she was acting when I first came to visit you."

I also sat up leaning against the headboard as my amusement peaked upon realizing she was jealous.

"Why are you smiling like that?" She cocked her head to the side. I would have told her then and there that she looked adorable if it weren't for the hint of an attitude I heard in her voice.

I grabbed her wrist tugging her close as a grin formed on my lips as the sheet covering her fell away exposing her breasts to me." I'm not in the mood," she attempted to warn me off as my hand slid between her legs massaging the treasure that I decided was my home. She shuddered, releasing a moan as my fingers rubbed her clit.

"Funny how you say that yet, you're so wet for me," I said placing my hand on her shoulders silently telling her, I wanted her on her back as I pushed her legs further apart.

There was no better feeling in watching her squirm and pant." Alex," she moaned as I slipped my finger inside of her and the reward I got was her back arching as if begging me for more.

"What happened to daddy?" I asked inserting another finger that made her gasp as I moved up her body planting kisses till I placed a nipple in my mouth. I hummed in approval as her fingers entangled themselves in my hair tugging me even more closely to suck and lick her mound.

I bit hard into her breast causing her to cry out and I lifted my head momentarily to make eye contact with her," Answer the question," I growled as I picked up the pace placing my hand on her hip when I felt her wanting to run from me.

Two could play this game.

Her ass isn't going anymore till I get my fill.

With the way her walls clenched around my fingers I could tell she was close, just a little more and I would be gifted with another chance of seeing her beautiful face overcome by ecstasy. I was anticipating it, almost ready to hold my breath for this moment.

She's almost there

Just a little more

Almost...

What the-?

As if a light switch went off she pushed my arm away and bolted for the bathroom at whipping speed leaving me bewildered and perplexed at why she left me. The next sounds to come out of the bathroom filled me with worry as I entered the bathroom to see her hunched over the toilet throwing up.

In no time I was by her side rubbing soothing circles into her back," Not again," she mumbled as she leaned against the wall after flushing her contents down the toilet, head tilted back as she clutched her stomach.

"Baby?" I kneeled in front of her rubbing my palm against her cheek.

"Hmm?" If her getting sick didn't catch me off guard then the tears spilling from her eyes certainly did.

"Raquel- what's wrong? I mean do you need anything? I can rush to the pharmacy right now if..." she interrupted my rant chuckling humourlessly as she quickly wiped her tears and asked me in a small voice to give her some time alone.

I was close to refusing until she said," Please, I-I just... need to get myself together."

I obliged getting out taking a seat on the bed patiently until she returned. Her need to be alone had me on edge even her odd change in behaviour given her seeming to be sick made me wonder why she's not...surprised and what did she mean when she said, not again."

So immersed in my thoughts, the light being turned on in the room brought me back to earth to find her standing by the bedside in nothing but my shirt.

"Come here," I motioned and as soon as she sat beside me I pulled her close, planting a kiss on her forehead.

Her body trembling made me scared and I couldn't wait any longer to ask." What's wrong, are you sick or something?"

"I'm fine. Really Alex, I'm good."

I stood up abruptly, anger brewing inside at her lie.

"How can you try brush off something that's obviously serious, a minute ago you were puking your guts out and you expect me to just forget that shit?"

She had yet to say anything, her head down, eyes avoiding mine as they roamed all over my body as my heart went into high speed in its beating.

"I'm confusing in my actions to you, I get that. But its a little hard to take you seriously when you're naked."

"Clothes were the last thing on my mind," I said shifting from one foot to the other feeling sheepish." And stop trying to change the subject I'm trying to be mad at you."

"Sorry," she chuckled finally meeting my eyes;" I'm just trying to buy some time until I can figure out how to say this."

My eyebrows furrowed as I watched her," The main reason I wanted to have dinner with you in the first place is...well I'm uh... "

Heart speeding fast.

Nervousness creeping through the back door.

She closed her eyes momentarily to open them once again and looked me straight in the eye," I'm pregnant."

Frozen in place, eyes wide it took no time to register what she said and the word itself sounded so foreign.

Pregnant?

As in with child?

A being growing inside her belly.

And with her eyes watching me expectantly for me to say something, I blurted out the first thing that came into my mind.

"I need to put on some pants."

***

I'm not a fan of awkward silences and for the first time in my life I happily welcomed the awkwardness. Raquel was still sitting on the edge of the bed whilst I was leaning against the wall, a gap between us after I clumsily put on my pants. My hands still shaking from the news.

I opened my mouth trying to say something and upon forming nothing decent to say my mouth snapped shut as she observed me.

She blew an exasperated breath," Aren't you going to say something?" she asked whilst fiddling the hem of my shirt.

After she got no response once again from me she stood up abruptly clenching her fists as a frown took over her features," Just say something. Anything. Okay yes! This is a lot- I understand this is big news I get that but you staying quiet isn't helping!"

"Well what do you want me to say Raquel?" I groaned surprised I still had a voice.

"I'd prefer if you yelled at me for being so irresponsible. If I hadn't forgotten to take the pill maybe we both wouldn't be here dealing with this. And in as much as you hate me for putting you in this compromising position I'll have you know if you choose to walk out on me, I'm raising this child," she said with clear determination her head held high as she placed her hand on her stomach.

"So you can go ahead an-"

"I don't hate you and I'm not going anywhere," I said stopping her rant.

"You're not," she mumbled her voice coming out meek, a stark contrast from the bold woman standing before me moments before.

"I'm not. And it wasn't your fault we're here. I mean you didn't make this baby on your own."

It's still a lot to take in. But she was someone I loved and the knowledge of her carrying my child made me

Happy.

"I know you're used to doing things for yourself. You built an entire company from the ground up without your family supporting you," I paused feeling the tears gathering once again in her eyes. I walked towards her and pulled her against me as she sniffled against my chest.

"But you better get this through your head, it's not going to be easy for us...but I promise you, in anything you need, I got you."

I placed my hand firmly on her belly, amazed at the prospect of a child being in there.

My child.

"I got you both, okay?" I stated whilst placing my fingers under her chin to get her to see the sincerity in my eyes. Despite how nervous and terrified I was feeling of being a father, I had to be strong for them.

"Okay," she whispered nodding her head as she got her arms around my waist.

"You don't have to be there out of guilt Alex. I mean you're so young you still have a lot to do and a baby will only get in th-"

"Baby, how many times do I have to keep on saying I love you till you believe it? Besides I pursued you, remember. "

I smiled as I felt her body rumble with laughter from the memory of how we met, the glow returning to her face. She looked up at me tracing her hand across my jaw seeming in deep thought.

"What?" I chuckled feeling flustered with the way she was looking at me as if I meant the world to her.

She shrugged her shoulders smiling as she pulled me in to kiss me, sweetly on the lips and as we pulled apart she mumbled against them," I'm leaving Derek."
