Yay!!! I'm so excited to publish this I hope you like it! Comment reactions and I'll respond back!!

Alex POV
I hear a bang in the bathroom as I finish cooking dinner. I now she wanted space but now I'm scared. I drop what I'm doing and race down to the bathroom I see her passed out on her floor with a bar of soap there too. I grab on to her and shake her.
"Betsy come on babe wake up!"
She is not budging so I call 9-1-1 and they are here within 5 minutes. I'm so scared and when they take her to CT they tell me it's a small concussion and she didn't wake up due to stress. It must have been Angelica. I called Peggy and her parents. Someone must have told Angelica because she was here along with John.
"Is she ok?!" Angelica asks me irritated.
"Yes she has a minor concussion and she passed out because of that and unnecessary stress,"
"If you are blaming me-"
"I am Angelica I don't care if you don't like me but Eliza loves you and that baby. She is hurt and feels so worthless because of you."
She stands there stunned. Peggy nods her head and their parents look confused.
"Mr. Hamilton? Your wife is awake and asking for you,"
"Anyone else?"
"Not yet,"
"Ok could you take me to her room?" I ask the doctor.
"Of course sir,"
When I am at the doorway Eliza looks very happy.
"You look good," I say.
"Yeah I feel great." She responds.
"Oh yeah what's so great about this babe? You're in a hospital bed," I say with a chuckle.
"The doctor told me why the stress was so bad," she said with a smile.
"What is it?" I ask.
"Alex I'm pregnant," she smiles at me and I smile back.
"No joke?" I ask.
"No joke,"
I scream with excitement and kiss her.
"You're gonna be a dad," she says as she looks at me with her beautiful eyes.
"We're gonna be parents!"
"The ob with come do an ultrasound in an hour and they are gonna keep me for the night," she tells me as she smiles right back at me.
"This is amazing!" I yell.
"So you don't want the baby?" She asks jokingly.
After hugging for an eternity Angelica and Peggy walk in.
"I owe you an apology. I guess I am just jealous. You are an amazing doctor making more money than I do planning marches, mom and dad love your husband and weren't mad when you got married, and you have your soulmate and have for 7 years," she said right before bursting into tears.

Eliza POV
I know my sister well enough to know these tears are filled with genuinely guilty emotions. She feels awful. I hug her and say,
"Ang it's ok. You're upset and hormonal. We can fix this but I will never let you treat my family like that again,"
"I won't Betsy I swear I won't,"
"Ok I believe you just take some deep breathes,"
Angelica, Peggy, and I hug and cry. Alex stands there in awe of how I can forgive my sister so easily but this was not and will not be our last, but it's definitely been the worst. We all smile and sniffle when my parents come in and hug me. Alex and I kick them out after an hour so they don't know about the pregnancy yet. We don't even know how far along I am so we are not going to risk it. Alex and I are laughing and talking when the ob knocks on the door and walks in.
"Hi Dr. Hamilton I'm Dr. Wilson it's nice to meet you. So let's do this ultrasound," she says.
Alex introduces herself and we make small talk as she sets up.
"You can call me Eliza," I tell her.
"Alright. So you're a Dr. What's your specialty?"
"I'm actually an ob too," I chuckle.
"The irony," she smiles at me.
"And you Alex?" She asks him.
"I'm a lawyer and now a proud husband and father," he tells her beaming.
"I'm sure this is very exciting!" She says as she holds her belly.
"I'm pregnant as well," she continues.
"Congratulations!" I tell her.
"Aw thank you alright now this gel will be a bit cold."
She puts the gel on and it is cold. It's so cold. Alex holds my hand and she puts the ultrasound wand on my stomach and almost instantly I see the egg. She notices I see it and points it out to Alex. He smiles and we kiss. We This is our baby. That little egg is gonna be a human and I will get to hold it in 10 months.
"Strong fetal heartbeat," she says as I hear the machine and the heart. That's my baby's heartbeat. My baby can do that. That's my baby right there.
"Babe that's our baby," I tell Alex as he smiles.
"Yeah it is,"
Our eyes water and we smile at each other.
"You are about 6 weeks along so it's no surprise you didn't have symptoms," Dr. Wilson says. I close my eyes and listen to the heartbeat my baby's heartbeat. Oh my god I'm gonna have a baby. I'm gonna be a mom. My eyes are still closed and I lean back and get lost in that gorgeous heartbeat. My baby's heartbeat.
