The power of love

A bad morning

(This was kind of requested, so enjoy)*

Alex's POV
I wake up and my whole body is paining me. I can't believe that we actually slept on the floor. Jen is still asleep. I let her rest and go check on the kids who turned out to be sleeping too. I'm so tired. Life just sucks right now. I go back to our room and pick Jennifer up and put her on the bed. I'm tired but I just can't sleep. I hop in the shower just to waste some time.

2 hours later
I heard some noises outside of the room. It's probably the kids so I go and check on them.
"Good morning guys" I say. They all just look at me, unable to speak. "Shall I make you some breakfast?" I ask but they still won't talk.

Jennifer's POV
This bed is so uncomfortable, it feels like I've been sleeping in some bricks or something. I turn around and I see that Alex is gone. I get to the bathroom and just then I get the flash back. I look at my belly and I feel like dying. This can't be true. My baby can't be gone. I go back to my bed hoping to maybe see my baby there or something, I don't know.  But the bed is empty. I shout the loudest I can then punches the pillows. I collapse on the bed and burst into tears.

Alex's POV
"Oh shit.. what's happening there" Ella says
"Dad, is Jen ok?" Tashi asks
I honestly don't know. I need to check on her. I run to the room and find Jennifer laying in the bed and crying uncontrollably.
"Baby are you ok?" I says
"He is gone for real. He's never coming back" she says
"I know baby.. I know.." I say hugging her as she cries
"I'm sorry" I whisper

When she finally comes down I say" I'm sorry for what is said yesterday".
"What?" She says confused
"You know, that whole thing with me not wanting a baby, I really didn't mean it" I say
"Oh yeah, you did say that, didn't you?" She says
I just made things worse for myself. She'd already forgotten about it.
"Why would you even say that?" She starts crying
"Jen I told you I didn't mean it. I was vulnerable at the moment and things just came out" I say
"Things came out? You thought about it, which means you felt it and if you felt it and you said it so you meant it." She says
"That makes no sense. I just meant that if we didn't have him to begin with, no one would be hurt in process." I say
"Do you really think I want to see you like this? If there were anything I could do to prevent it; I would have done it. " I say
"Don't talk to me" she says leaving the room
"Jen wait. Let's talk about this please. I'm sorry for hurting your feelings, you've gotta understand that there's nothing we can to about it now" I say
"Of course not. You got what you wanted congrats" she say walk down the stairs
"Jennifer, stop it. You really think I wanted our baby to die?" I say going after her
"That's what you said" she says carelessly
"Hold on there," I say hold her arm to make her stop
"I NEVER SAID THAT. DO YOU KNOW HOW HORRIBLE THAT SOUNDS? ME WANTING MY OWN SON, MY FIRST BIOLOGICAL SON TO DIE?HOW DARE YOU EVEN SAY SUCH A THING" I say and this time I'm the one leaving the conversation. I'm so fucking upset right now, I mean how do one even think of such a thing.
Just then the doorbell rings and it's some of our family members.
"I can take it" Max says running to the door.
"Grandma" he says hugging Lupe.
They kids are happy to have people coming over so it doesn't feel so lonely.

Now this is the exact reason why I said what I said before. Everyone is sad, that's not helping the situation.
"Guys I know this is not really the moment, but think for yourself. Doing what you're doing right now isn't helping the situation, we need to stay strong, his in peace right now, he's our little angel." I say
"It's Maybe easy for you to forget him but not for me, I had him in my belly, literally saw him coming. Stop being so selfish and start thinking about others too." Jen says
"Selfish? I'm just concern about you. Jennifer I'm worried about you, you're not the same person anymore" I says
"Don't worry about me, worry about yourself" she says angrily
"Guys, really? Is now really the appropriate time to argue?" Lupe says

"Jennifer come here" she says taking Jen to a corner. Me and the kids just get out to take some fresh air, this morning has been crazy.

Jennifer's POV
"What is it, ma" I say
"Jennifer I know you're a very wise woman and I can see that you're not thinking straight." She says
"I don't know what you're talking about" I say
"How would you feel if Alex told you that you are glad that you lost the baby or that you wanted it" she says
"HE SAID THAT?" I almost yell
"That fucking douchebag" I say
"See, this is what I'm talking about. You wouldn't want him saying that about you, but you're saying that about him. How do you think he feels about it?" She says
"If you continue like that, only gods knows what will happen. And trust me, you've already lost someone, I don't think you want to lose another one" she says
Those words really hit me hard. I've been such a terrible and selfish person towards Alex. Maybe that's the reason why he left with the kids.
"What if he never comes back?" I ask my mom
"What??" She asks confused
"Alex. He went out with the kids. What if that was the last time me seeing them?" I say
"What do I do now? Do I call the police? Or maybe to looking for them? Or maybe-" I say before mom cuts me off
"Relax. It's nothing like that. They probably just went out, to breath. To breath something else than sorrow" she says
"I have to call him" I say
"Don't, he'll probably think that you're calling him to accuse him of something else. They'll come back when they feel like it" she says
"And When is that? Never?" I say
"He's not just with your kids, Lucie and Brandon are with him too" she says
"But how long do I wait?" I say
"As long as it takes." She says
We go back to the living room where everyone is sitting with sad faces. We just sit there, quite as if we're all dead.

"Do you think he'll break up with me?" I ask my mom after a while
"No, baby. Don't worry, after you talk it out he'll probably forgive you." She says
"You think so?" I say softly leaning my head on the shoulder. She nods

One and a half out later
"What's taking them so long?" I say
"Who?" Lynda asks
"Alex and the kids" I say
"They've been gone since forever" I add
"Chill, they're probably just cooling they're brains out" she says
"What if they-" I say and suddenly the door opens
The kids comes running in.
"See. I told you" Lynda says
"My babies" I say hugging them all.
"Where's Alex?" I ask
"Probably still in the car" Brandon says
I hurry out. I see Alex is coming. I'm so happy knowing that he didn't leave me.
"Papi you came back" I say ruining towards him
I jump into his arms and he just holds me.
"I'm sorry papi" I whisper
"I'm sorry so everything I said. I didn't mean any of it" I say looking at him.
"I know I've been a horrible girlfriend but I promise I will do better. You're my everything and I don't want you to leave me, I don't want to lose you" I say crying
"I won't leave you... not for anything in the world. I know this is hard but I promise we'll work it out" he says
"I'm not leaving you, what make you think that?" He says
"I don't know..... just...I mean...-" I try to say before he cuts me off
"Don't even think about it. I'm always by your side, no matter what" he says hugging so hard that I can feel his heartbeat.

"I love you, Alex" I say after a while
"I love you more"he says
