Arranging Alexandria [ON HOLD]

Chapter 23

-Alex's POV-

"Now get your ass up. We're a family, so we're going to church as a family." I told Louis firmly. He finally got out of bed. I haven't been to church in a while, so I want to go this morning. I'm making him go with me. This relationship needs some commitment.

"Alright, I'm up." He mumbled, crawling out of bed.

"Church is in an hour and we need to get ready." I ordered.

"Yes ma'am. Do you want breakfast?" He inquired. I shook my head. I opened the closet and scanned it for a dress. I got a maxi dress. The top was white lace and there was a black sash around the waist. The bottom was turquoise. It was strapless and one of my favorite dresses.

I got a pair of black sandals out of my shoe shelf (yes, I have a shoe shelf) and some jewelry from my jewelry box. I went in the bathroom where Louis was brushing his teeth. There was a full length mirror on the wall. I sat on the floor in front of the mirror and got my makeup bag.

"You're on the floor?" He asked after spitting out toothpaste.

"Yep." I nodded, putting on Chapstick.

"Why?" He questioned.

"Better lighting." I shrugged.

"So the lighting is better when you're as far away from the light we possible?" He questioned.

"Now you understand." I nodded. He chuckled and turned back to the mirror above the sink. Louis started shaving the stubble that he had while I worked on my makeup. I did a basic smokey eye look. I heated up my flat iron and went over my naturally straight hair, just to be sure it stayed. Then I put hairspray all over it.

I got my outfit from the bedroom and brought it into the bathroom. Louis was done getting ready a while ago. I locked the door and got dressed.

I opened the bathroom door and saw an empty bedroom. I went into the living room where 3/5 of One Direction sat.

"Oh, cool. We're meeting up in the living room and nobody told me." I scoffed, sitting next to Louis on the couch. Liam and Harry chuckled.

"So where is the happy couple off to this morning?" Liam inquired.

"Church." I answered, glancing at the clock on the wall. "And we're about to be late for church. We need to go, like now."

"Lock the door when you leave!" Louis called to them right before we left. We hurried to his car so we wouldn't be late for church.

After church Louis and I went to Jessica and Brandon's house. Their German Shepherd had puppies and Louis told me we could get one, so that's what we're doing. They're a week old. I'm gonna pick one out and put a collar on him or her so nobody else can buy it.

"I like this one. And this one. Oh, this one too!" I couldn't choose just one.

"Get two. She had twelve." Jessica laughed. "You can't let your puppy be lonely."

I gave Louis a hopeful look. He chuckled and nodded. "I think we need a boy and a girl." I told him.

"Well, then pick them out." He replied. I finally chose a male and female puppy. We put collars on both of them.

"Jess, you're the best." I chuckled, setting both puppies down so their mother could take care of them.

"I know. You don't have to tell me." She said back. "So are you two enjoying your new home?"

"Yeah, I guess." I nodded. "Is Hailey back yet?" I inquired.

"Not yet." Jess shook her head. "We haven't heard from her. I don't care anymore."

"Me either." I agreed. "If she really wants to be in our family she needs to act like it. I swear, Dad's gonna put her ass on the street if she keeps this up."

"Casey's pissed off because he always saves her ass and she never does anything for him." Jessica replied. "I don't know how she ended up like this."

"I know! We're all decent kids and then she's a whore. How did it happen?" I asked the sky.

"I don't know. I'm gonna try to call her later. I doubt she'll answer, but it's worth trying." Jess sighed.

"I'll go wait in the car and let you guys talk." Louis said, obviously not comfortable with this conversation. Oh well. We're just stating the truth.

"He's adorable." Jessica laughed once Louis was gone. "Brandon stopped being adorable once I found out that he snores." She rolled her eyes.

"You snore too, Jess." I chuckled.

"Yeah, but not as bad as him! It's like a cow or something." She scoffed.

"Well, I'm ready to become an aunt. When are you two gonna have a baby?" I asked her.

"Well..." She trailed off, giving me a small smile.

"You're pregnant!" I exclaimed.

"Shh, keep your voice down." She shushed me. "I'm a little over two months."

"Oh my gosh! Aunt Alex!" I grinned. "I bet it's a girl. Name her after me, please! Are you gonna stay in this house? What are you gonna name it? How are you gonna work and take care of a baby? When are you due? Oh my gosh! This is so exciting!"

"Gosh, you're more excited than me." She laughed. "I have a feeling it's a girl too. I'm not naming my poor baby after you. We might move, we might not. I like the name Jane for a girl. I'll take a couple weeks off work to care for it and then find a good babysitter. I'm due June sixth."

"A June baby! You're gonna be nine months pregnant in the middle of summer, Jess. That's gonna suck! Who else have you told?" I inquired.

"Just Brandon. You can tell Louis, but nobody else. I'm hoping to get the whole family together and tell them all, but Hailey won't come home. I might just do it without her. It's not like she cares anyways." Jess rolled her eyes.

"She'll come around." I said, trying to convince both of us. "Let me know if you need anything, okay? I'm getting my new car soon since my Corvette was totaled. I'll be able to take you to doctors appointments and all that good stuff."

"I know, Lex. I'll tell you if I need anything. I'll probably have to take you up on that offer about the doctors appointments, though." She chuckled. "Now you should probably be headed home so you can feed that poor boy."

"He eats all the time." I rolled my eyes. "But I probably should go. Let me know if you need anything, alright? Don't do any heavy lifting or running, Jessica Denise. I will hurt you. Well, I'll hurt you after you have my niece or nephew so it doesn't hurt the baby. But you get my point."

"I know, Alexandria Brielle." She mimicked me, using my middle name as well. "I don't even do heavy lifting or running when I'm not pregnant, anyways."

"Okay, just making sure." I replied. "Alright, I'm seriously leaving now. Call me if you need anything. Love you, Jess."

"I love you too, dear child." She said, hugging me. "Why do you smell so good?"

"Bitch, I always smell good." I scoffed.

"Little ears!" She said, pointing at her stomach. She didn't even have a baby bump yet.

"It doesn't even have ears!" I called, on the way to Louis's car.

"Go home already!" She replied jokingly. I waved goodbye and got in the passenger door.

"So what were you freaking out about so much?" Louis inquired, backing out of their driveway.

"Well," I grinned, "we might just be Aunt Alex and Uncle Louis in June."

"Oh my gosh!" He exclaimed excitedly. "We have to be the best aunt and uncle ever!"
