The Hookup

Chapter Nine

Este had a bold green eyes, outlined by long lashes, curly brown hair, my facial structure, and Alex's body structure. Estevier had light tan skin and chubby arms and legs. He was five pounds and six ounces. And reached his fat arms to me. I took my son in my hands and rocked him back and forth.

"Estevier is healthy. May I ask who's the father?" the nurse informed.

"I thought it was clear on who the father is." I said.

"That's what we want to talk about. Somehow the sperm from both Alex Reniery Montoya and Romeo Armano Rivera have been combined, thus making them both the father."

My face twisted in confusion, that wasn't even possible.

" Nah I'm kidding. It is Mr. Montoya's baby." She quickly added. How did she even know Buffy and I even had sex? Buffy lifted Estevier in his arms. He looked so helpless, so upset. Alex quickly tried to take him away.

" Let him hold him goddammit!" I spoke. Alex groaned and shied back to his corner. Buffy bit his lip before putting Este in my arms.

"I gotta go." He whispered before kissing my lips and walking out the door. Alex walked towards me as he sat next to me on the hospital bed. " Our baby huh? Where did the green eyes come from?" I scooted away. "I have hazel eyes, a green and brown mix. He must've taken the green gene."

Alex nodded. " I've missed you, babe." He looked at me.

A " How so? You left me remember?"
He took in a breath. " I only did because I was trying to change. But i screwed up and raped you, while i was high. You might not believe me but..."

I faced him. "But what?"

He set Estevier in the crib. He faced me again. " I love you Kirianna," My mouth parted slightly. I was at a lost for words. He pecked my lips." And I want to be with you," He pecked my lips again. " And I want another baby by you." He leaned in again, but i stopped him.

"I'm with Buffy. I love him Alex. You can't waltz around thinking I'd leave my boyfriend for a boy. I have one baby to raise not two. You know I love you and regardless there's a piece of you with me. But I won't down grade." My voice was soft.

"But we have a family." He said, leaning his forehead on my temple. " But I love you. I want to close the knot with you." He added.

I sighed. "Alex stop. You're drunk."

Alex shook his head. "I'm sober" I pushed him away. " Alex please don't do this." He moved closer to me. "Then take this." He put a gold ring with an engraving saying 'forever in love.' He slipped it on my ring finger. "kiss me." his deep voice rolled.

"Buffy." I reminded. He shook his head before kissing me on the lips, so passionately. Giving in, I kissed back. I admit to myself: I've missed that whore.

Days later, Buffy was at my grandparents' place where our families met. They were in shock to see me with Alex but completely happy to see Estevier. They gathered around me and the baby. My sister took him as the crowd followed her, leaving Buffy, Alex, and me on the porch. I engulfed Buffy in a kiss before he pulled back a few minutes later.

"Who bought you that? Why are you wearing it?" I sighed. "Alex gave i-" he quickly cut me off. "Hell no! Its bad enough you have a baby by him, but a ring? That's bullshit!"

He pushed me away. " Have him! Have the perfect family! Leave me like Maria has for this bastard ass creature." He walked off.

I quickly sat on the hood of his car. "Chill out Buffy! I don't want him! I want you." He stood over me.

" But do you need me? Do you need him?"

I sat speechless.

"We're done." He whispered to me.

"Buffy don't.. please." I begged. My face was wet from tears. He kissed me before he lifted me off his car. "I love you." And he drove off. I sat on the porch, head in hands. "I'm sorry." Alex whispered. He stood me up and wrapped his arms me. "I caused this.." he added.
