Captivated by Love (Watty Finalist)

Chapter 23

I walked into the hospitol after school was over. I just had to make sure that Maya was okay. I dont know why i needed to make sure she was okay but i felt like it was my duty. I walked silently down the halls with my hands on the walls.

Why did this happen to me? Why did this "kid" have to be mine? Why couldnt i just be happy with Magnus? Better yet why did our parents have to somehow come into our lives at the same time?

I knocked on the door when i got to Maya and walked in. On the bed was Jared. He was rubbing Maya's back as she was crying. I rolled my eyes and the door slammed shut behind me.

Jared and Maya parted and he got up. He looked sad but then stuck his hand out to meet mine. I looked at his hand like it was infected. He retracked his hand and looked to Maya. She had bags on her eyes and he normally good hair was in an ugly messy bun.

She was connected to so many wires and the baby was beside her bed. The baby was beyond small. Its little ribs were showing and it had tubes coming down his throat and up its nose. My heart broke at my little baby. That baby was mine.

A little part of me. Seeing the baby for the first time made me want to keep her forever. I wasnt so happy about the name though. I mean ALexandria, really? I walked towards the baby and everything was blocked out. I didnt see Maya and i sure as hell didnt see Jared.

I only saw the litle baby that was wrapped in pink. THis poor baby didnt have a little sibling anymore. This little baby was a miracle.

I reached out to touch the hand.

"NO!" Maya yelled

I looked confused and looked at maya.

"Shes sick." Maya sniffled.

"Whats wrong with her?" I asked.

"They dont think she will make up because she was so early. Its hard for her to keep food down." Maya said while tears rushed down her face.

My heart broke as i walked towards her. I glared at Jared until he eventually got up and left. Why was he here anyway? He didnt have anything to do with my baby. Maybe Maya but not my baby. Not that i want it or anything.

I hugged Maya and she cried into my chest.

"So is this baby mine?" I asked.

"Yes, she has your eyes Alec." She said.

I nodded. "Why did you name her Alexandria?" I asked.

"I didnt i was kidding. I actually dont have a name yet. I dont know if i want to keep her." She said.

I frowned at her. "I want her." I said.

"Y-you do?" SHe asked.

"Yes. Shes apart of me and i dont think i could let you give her up." I said honestly.

I think Magnus and I could be good parents right? Magnus wouldnt leave me right? I mean he would probably be upset, but he loves me right?

"They say this 24 hours is very critical. They dont think she will make it." Maya said while her voice cracked.

I rubbed her back as i glanced at the baby. I have to go. I cant be here anymore. The more i was here the more i wanted to switch. Did i wan this baby? Did i want this? The answer in reality was no. I would being the baby home just to have mom watch it. That wasnt fair.

I stopped at the door and looked at Maya. "Let me know how things go." I said and walked out.

When I entered my house Max was with Izzy on the floor. They were playing some game. They didnt even glance my way. I walked up the stairs and stopped outside Magnus' door.

"Tell my father to meet me at the park in 30 minutes. I need him to get Holland her surgery." I heard Magnus say.

I walked in and Magnus said something in Russian and hung up. I sat on the edge of his bed. He smiled at me and brought me into a hug. I leaned my head on his shoulders.

I brought my lips to his. He kissed me and our tongues danced in unison. It was like harmony. We were in full peace. With Magnus like this the world made sense. it was like i could make any decision with him when i walk like this. I wrappe dmy hands around his neck and brought him closer to me.

He laughed as he won dominence. I needed to tell him how i felt. I pulled away and we were both breathless. I put my hands on either side of his face and looked into his dark and dangerous eyes.

Every thought was out of my mind. NO more Maya. NO more Dad and Max. Just Magnus and I. My boyfriend.

"I love you, Magnus." I said.

He beamed at me and kissed my lips. I kissed him back.

"I love you too. Thank you." He said.

I hugged him.

His phone went off and he pulled away and then answered. He spoke in Russian and then looked mad.

"Ill be back Alec. I love you im sorry." He said and walked out his room.
