(( IN THE CAR ))

(( Brandon's POV ))

Elaine was tired by the time everyone had packed the car. She had decided to lay down when he realised she was asleep. Elaine would be lying down in the back of the car in a cream hoodie and light blue pinstripe lounge pants. Elaine was like a sleeping beauty, she was always sleeping just a tired gal in general. Brandon thought she was the most prettiest girl alive and he thought he was so lucky to have such a girl like her.

What Elaine was wearing:

(( Brandon and Alexander POV ))

The car trip was long as they had expected Elaine was the first to fall asleep. On the other hand, Alexander was in the front passenger seat playing with the playlist that he connected from Brandon's phone earlier. Brandon was driving since he wasn't tired nor was he an unsafe driver.

Alexander would have his window partially down letting the breeze flow throughout the car. The music in the car would be Brandon's beach tunes. The song that was playing at the moment was, 'Cigerattes and Honey' by Death by Denim. Alexander would be holding a can in his hand and would have a smoke in the other. Brandon would be focused on the road but would try to tell Alexander not to smoke or drink in case he had to drive.

Alexander would shake his head not caring as Brandon would decide to just give up on trying to tell him what to do. Alexander would begin to start a conversation as he'd say, " So.. Brandon, how's Elaine going? " Brandon would raise an eyebrow being confused with what he meant.

" What do you mean Alexander? " Alexander would respond with, " What I'm trying to ask is how is she handling the whole pregnancy thing? "

Brandon would sigh as he'd say, " She's handling it pretty well, I mean.. yeah she has her ups and down but that's normal. It's been six whole months since we found out, you don't understand Alexander how happy I am too soon to be a father to either a girl or boy. "

Alexander would inhale a cloud of smoke as he'd blow it out the window before saying, " Well that's good to hear man, I'm glad she's handling well. You're gonna be a great father I just know it. Just promise me one thing.. when you and Elaine have your wedding day you need to let me do a speech. I promise it would be priceless something you'd regret if you didn't let me do. "

Brandon would smile, " I know I will be a great father, I'll be the father my dad was to myself and you. I want to be the kind of father that my kid looks up to one day and thinks I'm his hero, and you know what sure, you can do a speech at my wedding go for it. "

Alexander would laugh, " Seriously you're putting too much thought into this whole father thing. All you got to do is not act like my father around your family at all, and then done you're already a brilliant dad if you do that one thing. " Alexander would take a swig at his can.

Brandon would sigh, " Alexander, I'm so sorry for how William treated you over the years, but I promise I won't ever act like that especially not around family or you for that fact. "
