The Unforgivable (Book One)

Thirty-five - Loss

Alex's POV

At least now we could start clean, I was over this plan for revenge that I had and Mia and I could really start our little family. I held her hand gently as I drove back to our house and watched her gently touch her stomach every once in a while.

She asked, "do you want a boy or a girl?"

"It doesn't matter baby, I just want a healthy baby."

"If it's a boy would you want him to be named Alexander?"

"Maybe as a middle name?"

"Do you like the name Ian Alexander?"

"I do babe, what about a name for a girl?"

"How about... Leah Arlene?"

"It sounds nice baby girl."

I parked the car outside the house and walked in with Mia. My jacket was still on the floor, a silent reminder of what happened a few hours ago.

As we cuddled in bed I felt Mia closer than ever before. Her head laid on my chest and I softly stroked her hair. We hadn't felt like this in a while, no awkward tension between us, just love and calm.

One of her arms was around me and the other was on her stomach.

Mia's POV

When I woke up, I immediately ran to the bathroom, the morning sickness was definitely getting to me. Alex woke up a second after me to make sure I was okay.

I had barely made it to the bathroom and shooed him away but he stayed and held my hair while I leaned over the toilet.

He gently rubbed my back with worry on his face and I washed my mouth, "I'm okay honey, just morning sickness."

"Are you sure? I can stay here and take care of you so you don't stay by yourself."

"Babe I am okay, thank you."

"What if you invite Addison over?"

"That does sound like a good idea, I'll do that so you don't worry okay?"

"Thank you," he said as he embraced me.

Once he had gone to work I asked Addison to come over for a girl's day which she readily agreed to since we had not seen each other in a while. We would just watch movies and eat ice cream all day.

When she finally arrived I could not wait to tell her the news. She hugged me then looked at my smile suspiciously, "what is going on?"

I smiled wider, "you're going to be an auntie!"

"What?!" She screeched happily.

"Yep, I don't know if we are having a boy or girl her but I am definitely pregnant!"

"We need to celebrate! Do you have any wine?"

I laughed and shook my head, "how about you have some wine and I get some juice?"

"Right!"

My best friend has always been a little wild but I love her because she's like the sister I always wanted.

We spend the whole morning talking and having breakfast then the afternoon watching chick flicks with ice cream. By the time we were done, Taylor was off of work and decided to pick Addison up. I figured they could stay over for dinner with Alex and I.

It was perfectly planned out because Addison and I were almost done cooking by the time Alex and Taylor arrived.

Alexander immediately walked over to kiss me then kissed my belly which made my heart happy. I know he's going to be such a great daddy.
