New Normal (GxGxG)

Chapter 2

Alex's POV

I park my car in garage and I sigh when I see Stephanie's car is already gone. I just wanted to see her and the twins for a few minutes as well. Luckily Maya is still here because she only goes to work a little later.

I was hoping to have my whole family with me for a few minutes. I missed them so much and the sleep deprivation is making me extra emotional.

I grab my handbag and close the garage door behind me. At least I can look forward to having coffee with my other beautiful wife.

I open the door into the house and I see Maya standing in the kitchen. "Hey baby" I smile but she doesn't really seem happy to see me.

I close the door and walk closer to her with a curious look. I'm trying to think of any reason she could be mad at me right now.

I know they don't like it when I work through the night but that is my job, it's not something I planned.

"What's wrong sweetheart?" I ask in a gentle tone and put my bag down on the counter before I step right in front of her.

I reach out to touch her but she steps back and puts her hand up. I see tears building up in her eyes and now I'm actually really worried. "Bab-"

"I don't want you alone with anyone in your office" she says in a broken tone. "Not another doctor or surgeon, not a nurse, not even Anna." She states with a raised tone.

"Wha-"

"If you don't love us anymore then you tell us, don't go looking for someone else-"

"Maya, woah!" I stop her and grab both her arms. "What the hell are you talking about?" I ask in genuine confusion but also concern. She is clearly upset about something but I have no idea why.

She doesn't say anything and just looks down at her folded arms.

"Maya?" I call on her and cup her face to look at me.

"I had a dream about you cheating on us" she says in a whisper.

"Ah baby" I sigh with a slight chuckle in relief. I wrap my arms around her neck and pull her into me.

She tries to fight off my affection and keep up the angry front but it doesn't last long. "It's not funny" she groans and wraps her arms around my waist.

I laugh a little at her grumpy tone and pull back to look at her. "I'm sorry baby, but are you really mad at me because of something you dreamt about?"

"Yes" she mumbles and looks down with a guilty expression. "It felt so real" she whines and falls back into me.

"Okay, okay" I console her with a few kisses on her cheek and hug her tight against me.

I've had a few nightmares about my family being in a car accident and I woke up screaming. I know it can feel real and I understand why she is still upset about it. I would've been upset too.

"Do you want to talk about it?" I whisper and massage the back of her head. "Come on, tell me what I did?"

She lets out a deep breath and pulls back leaning against the counter. "I wanted to surprise you with a coffee at work but then I walked in on you and some nurse, I think. She was sitting on your desk and you were.."

"Oh gosh" I scrunch my nose in disgust.

"I know" she whines a little.

"I'm sorry honey" I sigh and give her a tight hug. "Nothing like that happened okay?" I whisper in a gentle tone hoping it will make her feel better.
