SHADOWED

Chapter 24

Chapter 24: "Alexander!"

Tossing and turning for God knows how long, I get out of bed and head to my favourite place in the house. The kitchen!

I open the fridge and take the chocolate spread which I start eating, using my fingers. Taking some snacks as well, I waddle to the tv room with my 9 month pregnancy.

Alexander has already arranged a first class hospital room for me. I was supplied to move in today but I wasn't about to let go of the little freedom I have.

The stairs which were smooth wood are now layered with a material that prevent you for slipping, well me rather.

I turn on the tv and start watching old episodes of The Mentalist. The sofa seat next to me dips as Alexander sits down.

I look at him and he gently rubs my belly, turning me on. My hormone are all over the place right now and him touching me isn't exactly helping.

He looks at me, eyes still begging. I swear that's how its been for the last month and I still haven't forgiven him.

What?

He really hurt me and I'm didn't want to just let it slide like that. If anything, this is his punishment foe hurtling me and if I do give him a chance, he will cherish it and treat me like the queen I fucking am!

"Scarlett, pl-" he starts before I interrupt him.

"I forgive you." I say, looking him straight in the eye and he looks taken aback, surprised that I said the three words he has been begging to hear for weeks.

"You forgive me?" he gasps, it still not clicking.

"What now? You don't want it? I can take it back!" I say, shoving chocolate coated tomato chips inside my mouth.

"No! Thank you so much Scarlett. Thank you baby." he says, his eyes shinning brightly.

"You better be referring to this baby because i'm not your babe, okay? Just cause I forgave you doesn't mean I'm giving you a chance." I say, rubbing my belly.

He nods, still happy and puts his hand over mine, eliciting some shock waves. Each time he touches me, I feel it. The fire!

We watch The Mentalist together when I felt like I wanna pee. Alexander helped me up when it happened.

Water gushed out of me and out our bare feet.

I laughed at Alexander's face of utter shock and disgust.

"Don't look so disgusted." I frown.

He tries to act like he isn't disgusted and I can't help but laugh at his futile attempt.

Then I feel a wave of pain take over and I can't help but yelp.

Alexander looks at me, worried.

"What's wrong?" he asks, assessing me.

"This isn't pee Alexander." I say and he looks at our wet feet.

"Your water broke?" he asks and I glare at me. What else could have broken?

I feel another wave of pain, much more sharper and I grab his shirt.

"Alexander!" I yell, him balancing me.

"What?!" he asks, alarmed.

"What? How dare you say what?" I yell, tempted to slap his stupid yet gorgeous face.

"Uh-I-A." he starts trying to form words but cutting himself before he finishes what ever he wants to see.

"Stop talking and take me to hospital you idiot! I'm in fucking labour unless if you want to deliver this baby!!" I yell, feeling the pain increase at a high rate.

He rushes upstairs to get his car keys and runs back down. Then he opens the door and grabs the baby bag which is directly next to the door. He runs to the car, bringing it closer to the door and throws the bag in.

"Alexander!" I yell, as loud as I can. My voice venomous.

He runs to me and picks me up bridal style and places me gently in the back seat.

I rub my belly, trying to tell my little pea to calm down. This shit hurts!

He drives like a mad man to the hospital and stops the car at their emergency entrance.

Nurses already have a wheelchair. He carries me out and places me on the wheelchair. The nurses wheel me to my room where I find the doctor already waiting for me.

Alexander places me on the bed and the doctor assess me to see how ready I am.

"You're not fully dilated but at the rate you're going, you'll be ready within 1 to 2 hours if not less." he says and I glare at him.

So what? I'm supposed to be in pain for the next two hours.

I turn to look at Alexander who looks terrified of my glare.

"You put this baby inside me Alexander and look at me! I'm in pain!" I yell.

Alexander that turns me so my back is facing him and he starts giving me a super amazing 'second chance' worthy back rub.

The pain of the contractions is a little bit more manageable with him rubbing my back.

The contractions start coming fast and the pain is unbearable.

The doctor comes back after what feels like 2 centuries although it was actually 45 minutes. He assess me and tells the nurses to prepare me. He then gives Alexander some scrubs just like his.

The nurses wheel me to where I'll be giving birth and I'm dressed in a pink maternity dress provided by the hospital.

They place a white sheet between my waist and bump. Alexander comes to my side and holds my hand, playing with my fingers when I dig my nails in his hand when a contraction hits.

I look at Alexander and he tells me to push which I do, then he tells me to relax and to push again. I keep following his instructions until I feel our baby slip through. They remove the white cloth and hand my bloodied bundle of joy.

The umbilical cord still in tact, the doctors show Alexander, who looks pale, where to cut. He cuts and looks at our baby before kissing my forehead.

I look into his eyes and with him still bent over near my face, I do the unthinkable. I kiss his lips. And shock waves surge through my body. I've been dying to do that.

I assess our baby and its a boy. Alexander sees it too and smiles like he won the lottery.

The nurses come and take our son for his first wash. Alexander then kisses me and I kiss him back with so much passion.

A nurse brings back out clean baby in a blue blanket. He is asleep, probably tired of pushing through my walls.

I hand him to Alexander and watch how happy he looks, a wide smile on his face.

We already have a name for him.

Austin Nathaniel West.

I watch how cute they, father and son, look together.

A.N:
