Life With Zalfie (discontinued)

Chapter 16

Alfie's Pov

"Well, spit it out already!" I laugh. "What do you guys want to tell us?"

Zoe and I sit crossed legged like little kids in front of our neighbours, waiting for them to tell us the news.

Tan looks to Jim and they both smile. "We want another kid!" They say at the same time.

Zoe jumps to her feet and cheers, hugging them both. "That's great!" She squeals.

"That's so good to hear." I smile, patting Jim on the shoulder. "Adopting?"

They nod. "Were thinking of getting a boy this time." Tan says.

"I'm so excited!" Zoe chirps. "He can be friends with Aaron! Oh my goodness, this is so amazing."

"Whoa, Zoe seems more exited than we are." Jim laughs.

"I'm just so happy for you guys!" Zoe says loudly.

"Are you guys stopping at two?" Tanya asks.

"Well, we've talked about having a third but we're not too sure." I explain, looking to Zoe.

"Yeah, I do love my kids, but three might be a lot with Aaron still being a baby and all." She sighs.

"I wish we could have our own kid, but adopting is for the best." Tan makes a weak smile, Jim rubbing her back gently.

"What age do you want?" I ask.

"Were thinking of getting a very young one, like the closest to a baby we can." Jim laughs.

"Or whoever we fall in love with." Tanya adds with a smile.

Alexus Pov

"Caspar!" I yell, running across the house. "Caspar Caspar Caspar!"

"What?" He yells, running out of the living room.

I smiled big at him. "You know how... we've been... you know..."

His eyes widen. "No!"

I jump up and down squealing. "Yes!"

"Your pregnant?!" He yells.

I nod happily and he swoops my off my feet, spinning me around in circles.

"I'm so happy!" He smiles, burying his face into my shoulder.

He puts his hand on my belly. "I'm going to be a dad."

The look in his eyes show true love. I can't help but smile back and crash my lips into his. "You're going to be the best dad ever."

He grins. "I'm going to do whatever it takes to make you and this baby happy."

"Whoa whoa whoa, what's going on up here?" Madi calls, coming up the stairs.

We turn to her happily, smiling from ear to ear.

"Um... I'm uncomfortable." She says, backing up slowly.

"Where's Joe?!" Caspar squeals.

"Downstairs, what's going o-"

"GO GET HIM!" We yell in sync.

"Okay, okay, don't be so nasty." She sasses, walking back downstairs.

She comes up in about 5 seconds with her husband next to her.

"What's wrong?" He asks, sliding his hand on Madi's back.

I look to Caspar and open my mouth. "We have something we want to-"

"WERE HAVING A BABY!" Caspar yells.
