The Hookup

Chapter Eighteen

It was dark night, companied by a few stars. As Buffy and I relaxed in the hot tub, sipping on red wine, he asked me a very seriously thought out question." Can we have kids?" His golden brown eyes glowed under the stars. My heart nearly stopped beating. " Romeo Rivera, are you being serious?" He half smiled as he tilted his head slightly, shrugging. " I saw how you went loco after the woman didn't let you see Este and when Este told me he loves me." A smile formed on my lips. " Baby, I want to be married before having another kid." He smiled before kissing the tender skin of my neck. " Mm sexy." A content sigh past my lips. " Alex," I whispered soft enough were I barely heard myself. Alex said those exact words the night we met. Buffy pulled away, a smirk on his face. " What?" I cocked an brow. " You're beautiful." My lips parted slightly as I look in his eyes. I gently tugged his hair, pulling him in to kiss me. We passionately kissed for what seemed like forever. It was then when I realized I wanted forever with him. It was pure bliss, no sexual attraction, just sweetness. Moments like this were ones I cherished.

"What about Ivy Kay Rivera? " I thought up. He shook his head. " It has to be unique and pretty... like Armani Kiriané Rivera." I nodded, agreeing on the name. " And if it's a boy?" He pondered a bit. " Joaquin Javier Rivera." A wide grin covered his face. " We have time to figure this out." I reassured.

I drove to Alex's place to see my baby boy. "Ma Ma!"

He had a bright smile. I saw that he had his first set of teeth coming. I picked him up and twirled him around. "Yeah he's teething. He was nibbling on my phone cord yesterday, so I asked him if likes food electrified" Alex and I shared a laugh. Este looked innocently at us, his blue and green teething ring held firmly in his mouth. A small giggle escaped my lips. " He's been trying to walk. So we should be... teaching him soon." I smiled before giving them both kisses on the cheek and leaving. " Tell that ass you date I said 'Fuck you'!" he called out. I turned around with a smirk and flicked him off. He laughed before closing the door.

"Buffy! Estoy en casa!" I called, walking through the door. I had been practicing my spanish. "Hey sexy." He whispered in my ear. I jumped slightly before turning to meet his golden eyes. He pecked my lips before smacking his own, as if he was trying to taste something. " Why do your lips taste like a baby and a shitty jackass? Have you kissed Alex?" I rubbed a hand over his chest after giggling. " His cheek,babe relax." He smiled wrapping his arms around me. " Ya' see, I knew that." He mumbled. A laugh escaped my lips. For a change, today wasn't hell.

" Maria called me." He confessed. " What she want?" I replied.

" She claims... I'm her baby daddy."

And I spoke too soon.

" What?"
