Chapter Twelve

More months past, time and time again each day getting even more exciting then the last. I cant believe that in the next few days i'll be holding a newborn precious little baby girl. God, i cant thank you enough for blessing me with the sudden joy in the world. In the universe... Alex has been M.I.A for about 2 weeks without even saying a word to me, I'm concerned that he is getting cold feet, second thoughts.

I, of course overthink things as usual what if he is with Laura, what if he is with someone else that i dont know? Why must I think these things, I'm carrying his baby and have spent almost 2 of the most amazing years with him so far. I dont get why i think about him with other girls, i trust him with my soul. I message Alex for the thousandth time still thinking that he'd answer, unfortunately he doesn't... he doesn't even read it! "Ugh" i say and i throw my phone on my bed, is he ignoring me, what have i done wrong?

I close my eyes and catch some sleep since my sleepless nights have got the best of me, maybe this will stop the overthinking. I wake up the next day to my mother knocking on my door, i stumble out of my bed and grunt. I walk over to the door with a deep breath and look at my mother. "Morning sweetheart, breakfasts downstairs" she turns on her heels and walks the other way, she must be going to the bathroom to get ready for her day. Which makes me think... what time is it?

I look at my phone with a sudden surprise, I have a text message and a missed call from Alex. Finally with my smile on my face i call him again. He doesn't answer so i look at the message, the message said that he was sorry for being missing a few days, a few days it was weeks. Anyway, he then told me that he has something special for me and that today he'd come and pick me up. I got ready, ate my breakfast and waited for him outside of my house.

Yes, i was waiting a long time but I managed to get a call of him while i was, it felt so good hearing his voice again and it set fire to my heart. I missed this, i missed him. My mother went to begin her day and i was left alone outside my house. Alex's came around the corner and I instantly got up with the sight of it.

"Where have you been?" I ask him, he smirks at me "come with me and i'll show you" he says. We walk around Evergreen, of course my big bump makes it hard to breathe so we stop half the time. Alex rubs my baby bump with his gently hand, "hi baby he says to my belly in a soft voice. "You ready?" He then turns and asks me as i nod my head.

Walking around Evergreen and seeing the landscapes has been what me and Alex have been doing for ages now, i enjoy it. His eyes are locked on the scenery ahead of him and his hand tight in mine. We then walk across a corner to a part of town that i have never been to before, which makes me wonder... what is he doing?

We stop in front of huge apartments and i look at him confused. "What is this place, why did we stop... whats going on?" He shushes me. Looking up at the apartments i dont seem to figure out why were even here, but then the owner of the apartments gives Alex a key with a smile on his face, wishes him good luck and leaves.

"Alex..." i stutter and he looks at me smiling, "come on!" He takes my hand and pulls me to the apartment 207, 9th floor. He opens the apartment to reveal a huge luscious space, with windows everywhere and loads of room. Beautiful scenery and loads of other reasons why i fell for this place even more. "Welcome home" he says and i turn to him, "we get to keep this place?" "Yes" he said in his gentle voice. "I talked to your mother, and my parents and they helped me surprise you. This place was what we needed to finish off our plan."

Ah yes the plan, the plan was to find a little home for us to be alone and to be a family that was close to our parents. I never imagined it to look like this, i walk into the apartment taking it all in then something happened, something we wasn't ready for... my water broke.

I fall to the floor and Alex immediately takes control, he holds me back up and looks stunned as the gushes of fluid poor out of me. Everything then happened in slow motion, Alex called my mother, she drove over, he brought me to the car and sat me in the passenger seat, he called his parents and my mother took us to the hospital. The look on his face says it all, he was worried... he was scared, shocked even.

Alex Pov

I call my parents stuttering all panicked and flushed. They are heading to the hospital as i am right now. I didn't expect this to happen today, but lucky for us Ella had a bag ready at her house that her mother picked up.

We get to the hospital and the doctor rushes through the crowd and grabs a wheelchair, Ella is passing out due to the amount of pain she is in. The doctor takes her to the midwifery ward and takes my hand to gesture that everything is going to be okay. As our parents come into scene, i take a breath and sit down on the chair besides the room Ella is in. My parents do the same as Ella's mom goes into the room to comfort her.

Time that was in minutes turns to hours and I'm pacing through the corridor, my mother and father watching me anxious. Then, Ella's mother opens the door revealing that she was born, Ella made it and that... "do you want to come see your daughter?!" She made it two. My parents look emotional as we head into the room, where i see Ella looking the most beautiful she has ever looked, and a little baby in her arms.

The look of her precious face soothes me, this year has been the most special year of my life, i cant wait to grow old with my beautiful soul. I cant wait to watch my beautiful child grow up and be the father that I've always wanted to be. There is no other place I'd rather be, with her, other then this. My baby, our baby, my family, our family, my Bay... our Bay.
