You're the one

Chapter 3- Reality or a dream?

Alex chuckled at me and helped me down off the counter. I went over and got some plates and silverware out of the cupboard for our food. I walked over and started putting the stuff out on the counter when Alex came up behind me this time and wrapped his arms around me.  He rested his head on my shoulder.

                “I think I could get use to this Gracie. I’ve been dreaming of this day forever and now its just so real. I’m afraid its just a dream and I’m going to wake up.”

I turned around and looked at Alex. There were tears starting to form in his eyes. I took his face in between my hands and kissed him softly on the lips.

“Alex this isn’t a dream. This is for real and nothing is ever going to happen. Now lets eat silly. We got school tomorrow!”

                “Are you going to be okay going to school tomorrow after what happened?”

                “Yes because I have you by my side. Plus I have to tell Annalisa about everything that has happened. She is probably worried sick about me right now.”

                “Nope, I texted her earlier and let her know you were fine and would talk to her tomorrow in school.”

                “I love you!”

Alex just looked at me with a shocked look on his face. Maybe I shouldn’t had said that just yet.

                “I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have said that that just.”

                “Graciella I love you. I was just shocked that you even said it just yet. Especially with everything that just happened between you and Daniel.”

                “Daniel is the past. You and these babies are my future.”

Alex and I sat down and ate dinner. By time we were finished I felt so full that I thought my stomach was going to explode. We cleaned up the kitchen and walked to Alex’s room to get ready for bed. I laid down on Alex’s bed while he went and got a shower. I was just laying there thinking about the triplets when Alex walked out of the bathroom in just a towel. I sat straight up in bed.

                “Sorry forgot to grab a pair of boxers.” Alex had a tint of blush on his cheeks.

                “It’s fine. I was just was thinking about the triplets and I heard you come out of the bathroom.”

                         “I’ll be right back and then you can get yours.”

                “Okay sounds good.”

I laid back on Alex’s bed and thought about everything that has happened to us these past few months and it was all overwhelming. I just started crying and next thing I knew Alex had his arms around me.

                “Shh Graciella it’s okay. Talk to me, why are you crying?”

                “I just got overwhelmed by everything for a minute and I Just started crying. I don’t cry this easily. Why am I crying?”             

                “Sweetheart its hormones from being pregnant. It’s perfectly normal to cry this easily.”

                “Alex how do you know this?”Alex rolled over and grabbed a book from his night stand and handed it to me. I looked down and read the cover of it What to expect when expecting.
