Love is Blind//Sequel to We're Forbidden

Chapter Eighteen

Alexander was laying on the couch with John running his fingers through his red hair when Aaron knocked on the front door. John opened the door to let him in. The other man hurried over to Alex and kneeled down so Alex could meet his eyes from where he was laying. "Your wife just went into labor."

Alex sat up straight, his eyes wide. "Really?" he asked. Aaron nodded. "I wasn't sure where you were, so I took Eliza to the hospital myself," he replied, standing back up. John pulled his boyfriend up and stared back at Aaron.

Alex felt like he was going to panic. "We have to go to the hospital!" he exclaimed, turning to John. He nodded then thanked Aaron for coming to tell them. Aaron nodded before leaving, closing the door behind him softly. John and Alex hurried out the door after him. They chose the fastest way to the hospital and got there in only fifteen minutes.

When they got there, they hurried inside and asked a nurse the number of the room Eliza was in. "234," she told them, before writing something down on her clipboard. John and Alex hurried through the bright hallways until they found the right room. The door was closed and there seemed to already be a couple of doctors in there.

A nurse noticed them standing there and opened the door. She smiled at them tensely. "Are you Alexander Hamilton?"

He nodded, trying to see past her and into the room. "You'll need to stay out here while your wife gives birth. We don't want the doctors to get distracted," she told them, before stepping back inside.

"That's so stupid," Alex muttered under his breath, sitting down on a bench. John sighed and started rubbing his back. "Don't worry, Alex. She'll be alright," John comforted him. Alex smiled gratefully and leaned into his touch.

About forty-five minutes later the same nurse opened the door. "Eliza will need to spend the rest of the night here," she informed them, before hurrying down the hall and into another room. Alex and John exchanged a glance before standing up and walking back to the front doors.

They went back to Alex's house instead of John's, deciding they would just wait for Eliza to get home. Alex was still tense, worrying about what might be happening to his wife. John managed to get Alex to come to bed and he rubbed his back gently until he fell asleep.
