Valley Forge (Alexander Hamilton x Reader)

30

     Being five months pregnant and in my second trimester with no compilations besides when I had a cold. My baby bump was present but rather small. Alexander has been very protective ever since we found out we were pregnant.
     "How's my angels doing?" Alexander asks as he walks up behind me. He places his hands on my bump and places his head on my shoulder. He rocks me slightly as I place jam on his toast.
     "We're good," I laugh. I can't see him but I can tell he is smiling.
     "Good! I don't have work today so we can spend the day together," He says sweetly.
     "Finally, I swear I never see you! You are always at work or locked in your office. I mean your eye bags have eye bags," I tell him. I walk over to the counter to grab a plate but Alexander beats me there.
     "No! I got it," He says as he reaches up and grabs two plates.
     "I can get the plates myself," I tell him as I snatch the plates from his hands.
     "I know but I don't want you to strain yourself," He says smiling. I scoff at him and walk over to the toast.
     I place two pieces of toast in front of Alexander and kiss his cheek. He laughs softly and I make my way over to my seat. We sit across from each other and eat peacefully.
     "What would you like to do today?" Alexander asks. I shrug back and take another bite of my breakfast.
     "We need to be done before the afternoon I have some papers to write. I want to sleep tonight so I'll need to work for a few hours," He says calmly. I stop eating and look at him.
     "I thought you didn't have work today?" I ask him coldly.
     "Well I don't have to go into work today but I have cases and bills to write. I can never really stop working," He defends.
     "So when the baby comes are you gonna just be locked in your room and never pay attention to him or her? Are they going to grow up fatherless? You need to tell me now if that's the case!" I yell. I don't know where the my anger has come from it just enrages me that he doesn't pay attention to me or anything for that matter.
     "Of course not I love that child with all my heart I would never neglect him or her," He says with a offended tone.
     "Well I thought you loved me but you never pay attention to me! It's all work and nothing else," I spit.
     "Alaska! You know I love you! I have never doubted my love for me and it pains me deeply that you have doubted me," He says.
     "I know you love me but can't you just take a break and not work so much?" I ask him.
     "I wish I could promise you that but I can't control my need to work," He says pained. I push my chair out and I walk out of the dinning room. I can hear him behind me but I don't turn around.
     "Alaska?" He asks. I don't respond. I grab my coat for the chilly spring weather that was placed on the coat hanger next to the front door. I open the door and walk out of it. Before I close it I hear Alexander yell, "Alaska!" I slam the door in his face. I hadn't realized that I had tears running down my cheeks. I put my hand on the door nob but I don't turn it. I want to walk back in and just cry into his embrace but I don't want his questions. How can he not promise me that he can stop working for me.
     I stand out there with my hand on the door handle for hours. He never came out to look for me and I never came back inside. The tears have dissolved into my rosy cheeks. I pry my hand from the door and walk down the cement stairs. I walk all the way to Rose's and Lafayette's little house.
     I knock on their blue door and wait. I wait about a minute until a tired Rose opens the door. Her once tired eyes darken at the look of me. I can probably guess I had tear stains and messy hair. I was also in my sleep clothes.
     "What? What happened to you?" She asks slowly.
     "I-I just," I start before tears just stream down my face. I fall to my knees in defeat and Rose falls with me.
     "I- fucked everything Rose! I'm so stupid! Rose how can I be so stupid," I cry. She shushes me and rubs me arm in support. I hear someone walk over and I look up to see a blurry Lafayette.
     "Alaska?" Lafayette asks. He was holding Anastasie on his hip and Georges on his other. Henriette and Marie Antoinette were at his side holding onto his legs.  
     "Rose? Auntie Alaska what's wrong?" Anastasie asks softly.
     "Nothing Anastasie. Lafayette can you help me get her inside and then go and get Alexander!" Rose says sternly. Lafayette nods but I just gasp out for air.
     "No, no he probably hates me! I-I fucked up it's all my fault. He never gonna love me again," I cry out.
     "Alaska language the kids," Lafayette says as the kids snicker at my profanity.
    "I'm sorry but it's all my fault! I'm such a screw up," I cry. Rose just shushes me once again and she picks me up and guides me into their house.
     She sets me down on the couch and she strokes my hair as I deeply breathe. Lafayette had disappeared but the kids surrounded us. Georges the 5 year old climbed up and snuggled into my chest. I wrapped my arms around him. Anastasie cuddles up with me too. Henriette and Marie stand next to me and pet my hair.
     Awhile later we were all just laying there when I hear the front door open. I look over and see Lafayette and then a tired Alexander. His eyes were bloodshot. I sat up waking up Georges from his slumber. Alexander stood there staring at me. More tears fall down my face as I stand up. We both walk over at the same time and embrace each other tightly. We fall to the floor as we both gasp out in tears. I cry into his shoulder.
     "I'm so sorry. I will quit my job for you just never leave me," Alexander cries into my shoulder.
     "No I'm so sorry. Don't quit your job I know you love it and I don't want to come in between you and your legacy. I love you and I was stupid for trying to make you pick between your work and family," I say. He pulls away so we are looking at each other. We both lean into each other. Our lips touch and we sweetly kiss. We pull away and we put our forehead together.
     "Awwww," Rose sings as Lafayette says, "Ugh gross." I can hear Rose smack Lafayette's arms.
     "Ouch Rose," He says.
     "Sh it's so beautiful," Rose says sweetly.
     "Your so beautiful," Lafayette says. I look over to see Rose kissing Lafayette.
     "Awwww," I say. Alexander laughs and they break the kiss to look at us. I look over at Alexander and we both smile at each other.
     "I love you," He says.
     "I love you too,"
