Alec POV:
After I told them about Chase and I. I practically told them everything. Especially making sure they know how much I love her.
"That's pretty much it." I say lightly laughing.
I notice America lifting her hand up and itching by her ear lobe, Maxon nods. "Will you excuse us for a minute?"
"Sure," I say.
Maxon POV:
"Maxon how could we not have known? She has this whole other life." America says on the verge of tears. "She was too scared to tell us... Scared of what we might think."
I gather her in my arms. "I feel like a bad mother. Why didn't-"
"America, you aren't a bad mother, none of this is your fault."
"Then whose is it?" America asks.
"No ones," I say.
"I wish I could talk to her..." She says.
"I know, I do too." I say kissing the top of her head.
"What are we going to do about her and Alec?" she asks.
"I don't know."
"We can decide when she wakes up." She says. "For now, let's get to know him."
"Alright." I say as we head back into the hospital.
Alec comes out with Cory in his arms. "I thought you might want some time with your friends. I'll watch Cor."
"Are you sure?" America asks, she is really protective over Cory.
"Yup, I love little kids. I took care of my siblings when they were little." He smiles.
"Okay..." She reaches into the pocket in her dress and hands him an inhaler. "I think Charlie and Xander are in the music room if you want to hang out with them."
"Thanks, I'll try to find it."
"I'll show him." Sophie says.
"Thank you Sophie." America smiles.
Alec POV:
Cory squeals as I hang him upside doe and tickle him.
"Careful!" Sophie says.
"Don't worry I've done this with my brother and sister before," I say as I flip him back over.
"It's kinda my job to worry..." Sophie says.
I laugh. "Sorry."
Sophie smiles at me, "he really likes you. It usually takes him a little while for him to warm up to people."
"Little kids tend to like me," I tell her.
"This is the music room." Sophie says.
"Thanks," I say. I enter the room and say, "innocent eyes!" Covering Cory's eyes.
"You can come in," Charlie laughs.
I walk into the room. "There's my baby boy!" Charlie says running over to Cory.
"Lic!" He says.
Charlie looks a little hurt, I look to Xander for help. "Char can you teach me piano?"
"Sure!" She brightens and runs over to him.
I set Cory down, "now what?" I ask.
He runs over to the door and runs out. "I got him." I say running after him.
"Cory?" I say, he turns to face me. "Where are you going?" I laugh as he runs down the hall. I chase after him.
America POV:
"I'm going to get you!" I hear Alec say and Cory squeal. I see Cory run down the hall and Alec chasing after him. "Cory," he says turning to run the other way. Cory looks confused and runs after him. "You can't get me!"
Cory squeals in excitement as runs up to Alec and pushes him over. "Ugh! You got me!" Alec falls to the floor.
"America?" Maxon whispers.
"Shh... Look." I say.
Cory climbs on top of Alec, "Lic?"
Alec pops up and grabs onto Cory, tickling him. "I fooled ya!"
He stands up and tossing Cory in the air. "My dad used to do that to me."
"Da?" He says.
"Not your dad, my dad." Alec laughs. "You want to show me your room? I bet you got a lot of toys in there!" He sets Cory down who starts running in the direction to his room.
"Lic?" He says.
"I'm coming!" Alec laughs running after him.
I look at Maxon, "I like him."
He laughs, "I do too."
