*Avadele's POV*
Alexiel was starting to cry so I took him out of the crib in an attempt to soothe him.
I heard the door open and close. I was looking down at the baby as i was putting him back inside the crib, so I couldn't see who it was. "Bryan?"
"You know, he's beautiful... just like his mother."
That wasn't Bryan's voice.
"Geoffrey? What're you doing here?", I asked once I looked up.
"I came to see my son and his mother. Is that a crime, Ava?"
"No... it's just that I wasn't expecting you to come."
"I flew over last minute. Rachel texted me when you were in labor."
"Oh...", I trailed off. I didn't exactly know what to say to him. I was still sort of mad at him for originally choosing his work over his new family but at the same time I wanted him here with me. "Uh...", I searched for something to say. Then a thought came to mind. "Wait, where's Bryan?"
Geoffrey sighed and looked down for a minute. "He's a good guy, Ava.", He said, not exactly answering my question. "I used to be jealous of him but I realized he's one of those guys you need to keep in your life."
I thought for a moment. He had given up his visiting time with me so Geoffrey could see me instead. That was so sweet of him. I owed him big time.
"What time are you aloud to be signed out?", he asked me.
"Tomorrow. The doctors said I'm well enough."
He looked at me seriously. "You are aware that you're staying with me, right? Christina told me what you said."
Any other day, I would've protested but at the moment I had no where to go. "I know."
Geoffrey walked over to look at the baby. He had this indescribable expression on his face. It was happiness mixed with something else. What was it. Nervousness? Pride?
"He's actually here now. It all seems so real...", He said, trailing off. "I'm a father. Now it's Tú, y yo...y él..."
"Trust me, it all feels super real when you're in pain.", I said, trying to get myself back up on the hospital bed.
He looked back over to me and I could see the concern on his face. "Oh, Ava. I completely forgot. You probably needed me so bad. I was supposed to be there and hold your hand like the guys in the movies..."
"Don't beat yourself up about it."
He sighed. "I can't help it. I love you, Ava."
"I-", I was about to say those words right back to him but I stopped myself.
Not yet, Ava. You're not ready yet.
There was a hopeful glimmer in his eyes but it soon disappeared. "Can I hold him?", he asked with a sigh.
"Of course you can. You're the father after all. Just be careful."
He carefully lifted Alexiel out of his crib. He looked back up at me with a smile, flashing those dimples that I missed so much. "He's my son.", He said aloud. His voice was barely above a whisper and there was a hint of pride in his tone. "No, wait, he our son."
I nodded as I came to that realization too. This practically was my best friends child.
"The two most important things in my world are in the same room right now. I think my list of goals in life is almost complete."
*Flashback...*
Geoffrey and Ava were at Geoffrey's house, sitting in his room and studying for a test.
"You think we've read enough?", asked Ava impatiently. "I don't think I can take another chapter of information."
Geoffrey shrugged. "I guess. That's good for tonight."
Ava breathed a sigh of relief as she closed her book. "Thank god that's over with. My head hurts."
"Wow, you haven't changed at all over the years, huh?"
"Nope. still hate school.", Ava replied absentmindedly as she blew a piece of hair out of her face.
Geoffrey smiled at her as he closed his book. A couple if pieces of paper fell out. Him and Ava started picking them up when she took a certain interest in a particular sort of paper.
"Ooh, what's this?", asked Ava as she read through it. "'My List Of Goals:
1.) Get discovered.
2.) Make a lifelong friend.
3.) Meet the girl of my dreams.
4.)Have a kid with her.
5.)-'"
"Ill take that.", said Geoffrey. He politely took the paper from her and tried his best to hide his embarrassment as she smirked at him.
At least she didn't read the last thing on the list, he thought with relief.
