Payton Brothers - Alex Payton

Chapter Seventeen

I groan in annoyance as George tries to act like a body guard around school. The people in my year have heard of my situation due to the media coverage my case is getting.

'A crooked cop beats and rapes his girlfriend who's a minor, as her teacher -his brother- comes to the rescue. I just know the rest of this year is going to drag on. They want statements from everyone who knew about what was going on so George, Margaret, Alex and Chase.

"George will you cut it out!?" I whine.

"Why? You love me protecting you" I roll my eyes.

"I don't need protecting" I groan.

"And if she did, I'll be doing the protecting" I smile and turn around to see Alex standing there with a smile plastered on his features.

"You guys have been together what? Three weeks and you're so lovey dovey" I laugh softly.

"That's what happens when you're in love" Alex says leaning against his classroom door.

We're in his room, I want to spend lunch with him so George was bringing me to the room. When we got here, Alex wasn't here yet. Closing the door, Alex walks to me and hugs me.

"How's my beautiful girl and our unborn?" I blush and smile.

"We're good" Grinning, Alex pecks my cheek.

"I'm good too, thanks for asking" Alex chuckles at George's childish ways.

"I bet you are. Kyle was telling me about how you spent the night at his last night" I laugh as Alex winks at George while George goes red.

I love the fact that all of the most significant people in my life are getting along so well. There's not many people who have it like this.

"Hey honey. I know you've met my father but you haven't met my mother. Do you mind if we throw a family dinner next week? Just Austin, mum, dad, Oliver, his girlfriend Maria, me and you" I smile and nod my head.

"Sure. What are your parents names?" I ask out of curiosity.

"Matthias and Mariana" I nod.

"What's your heritage background?" He smiles with a glimmer of humour in his eyes.

"Greek and Spanish. You're of a German, English, Scottish heritage am I right" I blush and nod.

"You're such a know it all" I mumble whacking his chest playfully.

"I think I might just leave you two alone. I'll see you next lesson" George says as he walks out the door.

Wrapping his arms around my waist he sets me down on his lap. He kisses my lips softly.

"I love you Lillyth Ivory Vallian" I smile and kiss his nose.

"I love you to Alex Jonah Payton"

"We have our ultrasound this afternoon. Are you excited?" I grin and nod my head.

I've really come to terms with this pregnancy. We have our first ultra-sound since I'll be two months exactly. Leaning down, Alex kisses my cheek.

"Good, we're going to have to leave in about twenty minutes to get there on time" I nod my head.

The school knows that Alex is taking care of Chase and I, they also know I have an ultrasound today so they've said we can go when need be.

"Do you want to know the sex of the child?" I shrug, I'll find end up knowing when the baby is born, but I can tell Alex wants to know, he's eager to know which I think is rather cute.

"Yeah, doesn't phase me because I'll eventually find out. But yeah, may as well find out now" He grins and hugs me.

"Come on, let's just go now, we can get some food on the way" He chuckles and nods his head.

I'm excited to see my baby. I'm also hungry. It's still lunchtime and I haven't had any lunch yet. Grabbing his keys, Alex walks with me out of his classroom and out of the school grounds, into his car.

"I love your car, it's do warm and comfy" He gives me a genuine smile.

"I'm glad you do, but do you think it'd be good as a family car?"

It's an Audi, it's a safe family type of car. Five seater, I think it's safe enough as long as he's behind the wheel and no one else.

"As long as you're the only person driving, I think it'll do just fine" I say smiling.

"Maybe I should get a safer car" I shake my head.

"Alex, It'd be the same with every other car. I only feel safe with you behind the wheel of the car when it comes to our baby" He grins, pride shining through his eyes.

Alex stops the car in front of a cafe. I smile and hop out, I need me a blueberry muffin and a bottle of water.

"Do you know what you want?" Alex asks.

"Blueberry muffin and water" Nodding he goes to order while I sit down at a table near the window.

"Here you go beautiful" I smile and take the muffin and bottle from Alex's hands.

"It's nice, peaceful today. No real worries, I haven't felt like this in a long time and it's all thanks to you Alex" Alex smiles with pride and blushes slightly.

"I'm glad I make you happy Liv. That's all I've ever wanted, for you to be happy" I smile and take his hand in mine over the table.

"Come on, we should get going" I nod my head and throw my rubbish in the bin. We've been say here for about twenty minutes.

"Let's see our baby" I smile and nod.

I know they won't be able to tell what the baby's gender is until next month or maybe even at four months. It depends on how the baby is positioned.

"You ready, the gel is cold" I nod my head and gasp as the nurse puts to gel onto my stomach. Son of a bitch it's cold. I groan slightly as she pushes down a little to see the baby.

Soon I hear a heart beat, a fast one at that. I look to the screen and see the slightest outline of my baby. There, on the screen in my baby. The baby that is still inside me. I start to tear up, Alex squeezes my hand slightly and kisses my forehead.

"A healthy baby" The nurse says smiling.

"When will you be able to tell us the sex?" I laugh at Alex's eagerness.

"Next month hopefully. I'll book you guys in and scan the ultrasound for you" I smile and thank her.

"That's our baby" Alex says for the one hundredth time. We're home now and he's been staring at the picture I the ultrasound for the last hour, his hand resting softly but protectively on my stomach as I snuggle up to him.

"Yes Alex, that's our baby" I laugh.

"I reckon it's a girl. I've always wanted a daddy's little girl" I smile and kiss his cheek.

"You're going to make an amazing dad" He blushes and kisses my nose.

"And you're going to be an amazing mum" I smile and rest my head against his chest.

For once it seems like everything is falling into place. Another seven months and I'll have my baby, I have the man of my dreams, I have my little brother and there is no abusive situation. I just have to stick the rest of the year out without people finding out about Alex and I.
