Brotherly Love: Chapter Two

Chapter 12: Baby Baby Baby!

I take a seat in the hospital chair with Gabriel. I've been here since last night because Alexis water finally broke .

"Are you excited?". She ask me while taking my hand into hers.

"Yes, I'm ready to be an Uncle". I smile at her, but it was a weak smile. All I could think about is the fact that Grace killed our baby. Yes it might have been an embryo but still, she was carrying life.

She didn't even consider how I would feel. I have so many thoughts running through my head and I can't say how I feel, at least not out loud. Then again it was her body and I didn't have the right to tell her what she can and can not do to it. She was scared and felt alone, I put her in this position in the first place. Every action had a consequence and this was mine.

"Well I think you're going to be a great uncle". She gets up. "I'm going to get us some snacks from the vending machine , I mean if you don't want anything I can -."

I cut her off. "Yes, I'm starving". She smiles .

"Okay I'll be right back". With that she walks towards the area with the vending machines in the next hallway.

*~* Flashback: five years ago.

I wake up and turn to feel the side of my bed that Hope was on. To my surprise she was already up because her spot next to me was empty.

I roll out of the bed and throw on one of my white T-shirt. Opening the room door a beautiful scent awakens me. I smile brightly walking towards the kitchen area.

"Good morning, I knew you would be awaken by the scents of your favorite".

"Blueberry pancakes and waffles?".

"Mhm". She smiles as I approach her, kissing her lips gently. "Wait did you even brush your teeth yet?".

I give her a mischievous grin.

"Eww Caleeb that is so gross".

"What? I thought you loved me, flaws and everything".

She slaps me with the kitchen towel that she was holding in her hand.

"I also love proper hygiene so go brush your teeth or you will lose out on a completely delicious breakfast".

"Hope Amelia Grey, why do I love you so much?".

"You tell me". She walks closer to me.

I embrace her in my arms, loosely letting her dangle. I look into her eyes.

"I love you because of how big your heart is, I love you because you make every moment I experience with you electrifying, your kisses make me melt and your smile ? Oh god your smile is like an angel, so pure and genuine".

"Caleeb". She sniffs then crashes her lips on to mine with a passionate ever lasting kiss.

She pulls away. Our eyes connected like glue. How much joy lit up her eyes made my entire body burst with butterflies. I am absolutely in love with this beautiful human being.

"Do you smell something?". She asks spinning around. "Oh my god no! The pancakes!".

I jump into action, grabbing a towel and wetting it with water. I slap the pan repeatedly until the flames went out, I then turn off the stove. It was so hot I took my shirt off. I turn to see Hope gazing at me, but it wasn't with the eyes of pure innocent Hope, it was the eyes she gave me that made me tingle. Lust.

"What?". I ask, slightly blushing.

"That was incredible and hot". She walks over to me and kisses my neck.
