15 years ago - 1993.
Ali sighed, he's only 19 and he's already a dad?!
His eyes followed his wife 'Layla's' eyes, to his newborn son, They named him Nikolas, his tanned skin, his orange hazel eyes and light brown hair. Ali felt like he was looking at himself.
"Ali," Layla gasped, tearful, "He looks just like you."
Ali smiled, "I know. He's gonna grow up into a strong young man."
"I know he is. You're his father." Layla chuckled.
"And you're his mother." Ali chuckled as well, his hand moving to hold Nikolas's tiny, soft hand.
"Aren't you, Nikolas?" Ali sweet-talked to him, making Nikolas babble and smile.
Layla awed, "He's so cute!"
"Imagine what he'll be like in a few years?" Ali laughed.
Nikolas babbled and laughed, moving to hold Ali's finger.
Layla smiled and moved for Ali to hold Nikolas.
Ali smiled and wrapped his arms around Nikolas.
Nikolas babbled at him, his tiny arms stretching to hold Ali's stubble on the side of his face.
"Aww." Layla said, again, tiredly leaning against Ali.
The doctor opened the door and Nikolas whimpered.
"I need to examine a bit of his blood." The doctor spoke faster at Ali's glare, "Just to make sure that he's healthy."
Ali nodded, "Nikolas, you ready?"
Nikolas started crying instead.
"Hush, hush." Ali whispered to Nikolas who calmed down at his voice.
"There we go. Can I come with?" Ali asked.
"Of course." The doctor reassured.
"Thank you." Ali said and held Nikolas tighter, kissing Layla on her sweaty forehead, "Be back soon."
Layla hummed and laid back on her bed, eyes already closing in tiredness.
The doctor moved to hold Nikolas.
Nikolas babbled, sounding like a no.
Ali hummed, "Hi, Nikolas. Can the man hold you? I can hold you're hand."
Nikolas nodded as the doctor moved to hold Nikolas.
"Hi, little boy." The doctor said and and walked into a different room.
Laying Nikolas down on a table, Ali moved to hold Nikolas's tiny hand, "Hi, baby boy." Nikolas babbled at Ali.
"Can you distract him?" The doctor asked Ali, he was holding a pointy needle.
Ali nodded and used his spare hand to cup Nikolas's chubby cheek. "You okay? Your gonna be a brave strong boy. Aren't you?" Ali baby-talked to him.
Nicholas babbled and laughed.
The doctor cleared his throat and got Ali's attention.
"It's done." The doctor smiled, tiredly, his hand holding the needle.
Ali nodded in thanks before focusing on Nikolas "Well done Nikolas! Your such a brave boy!"
Nikolas laughed.
