It had been an hour after Davina left. Veronica was sitting on the couch, anxiously waiting for Alex to come home.
She had just put Hope down for a nap so she currently had nothing to distract herself with. Alex was so good with Hope and it was clear he loved her as if she was his own, so that must mean he would want more, right?

The banshee sighed, dialing Rebekah's number; the original vampire answering immediately.
"Why is it every time you're pregnant I get told over the phone?" The blonde complained.
"I was planning on telling you, Bex. Just...after I told Alex."
"You haven't told him yet!"

"Nonsense. As much as I love my brother, Alex has stepped in as Hope's father. He's shown how much he adores her and will do anything for her. I'm sure he will do the same for your unborn child."

"Alright. Once all of this crazy stuff is over, I promise I'll throw you an epic baby shower." The original stated before ending the call.
Almost as if it were planned, Alex unlocked the apartment door and walked in as soon as Rebekah hung up.
"There's my wife." Alex smiled, strolling over to the brunette on the couch and giving her a small kiss on her cheek.
The male sensed something was off with Veronica. Noticing her avoiding eye contact, Alex sat down next to her on the couch.
