"HONEY I'M HOME," John yelled as he entered the house. Michelle woke up obviously scared and fell off the couch.

"Damn it John," Michelle groaned and got off the floor.

"Michelle?," John tilted his head in confusion and shut the door.

"Crap if you're here early that means Kylie is on her way and Laf is at home and your wife is sick go to take care of her bud," Michelle got up and left. John jogged to his shared room with Tatiana, she looked like a ghost.

"Oh my goodness, Honey, what's wrong?," John sat by her side.

"John? You're home so early," Tatiana put her hand on his cheek.

"Honey what's wrong, you look awful, I mean you're still beautiful," John said.

"I just have a little cold, a little morning sickness, and a little human," Tatiana looked at John.

"I know you're human," John looked confused.

"No and I have a little human," Tatiana said.

"What?," John asked. Tatiana took his hand and put it on her stomach.

"I'm pregnant," Tatiana said bluntly.

"Wait, we're gonna have a baby," John started to cry.

"Yeah, you're gonna be a daddy," She smiled. John stood up.

"WOOO, IMMA BE A DADDY," John shouted as he victory danced.

"John, Inside voice please,"Tatiana laughed but cringed.

"Right sorry," John whispered

They spent the whole day talking about if it were a boy or a girl. What they planned on doing as a family, the clothes they would wear, everything they could. The things that would be awaiting for them in the future with their new little addition.

Michelle found Kylie while walking home.

"Michelle who's watching Tati?,"Kylie asked confused.

"John is, They came back early," Michelle said.

"Wait, If John is back then... ," Kylie turned around and started to walk. Michelle ran to her home and walked inside.

"LAF," Michelle yelled. She shut the door and locked it to feel a pair of arms around her waist.

"Hi Mon amour," He whispered in her ear. She turned around and put her hands on his face and kissed him and pulled away.

"I missed you so much," Michelle looked into his eyes.

"I miss you too Ma Cheri," Laf smiled and took her hands and held them.

"We have to catch up now," Michelle said as she pulled him to the living room and sat on the couch.

They talked about the funny stories about Tatiana and funny things the guys did, what he did, Michelle talked about her days, what her bestfriends did with her.

" Wait so Kylie did an impression on Alex?,"Laf asked, amused.

"Yes, it was hilarious," Michelle laughed.

"I need to see this," Laf said.

"Oh no you don't, it was funny, but not good," Michelle chuckled.

"But," Laf pleaded.

"No,"Michelle said.

Kylie walked into the house, seeing Alex looking everywhere.

"Alex," Kylie said, confused. He turned and ran to her.

"Kylie I Looked everywhere for you, I thought you left, What happened, Where did you go?," Alex asked.

"Alex calm down, I was on my way to Ta-," Kylie got interrupted.

"Where-," Alex was cut off by Kylie kissing him.

"What did I say about you interrupting me?," Kylie asked, sarcastically.

"To do it more often so I can get kisses from my favorite person," Alex smiled innocently. Kylie looked down, blushing and grinning.

"Whatever you say Hamilton, also clean up your mess, I don't know what made you think I was under that sofa," Kylie walked away to their bedroom.

"Oh shit," Alex looked at the mess he made.

*5 Months Later*

August 27, 1782

"Sir he's bleeding, We need a medic," A soldier cried out compressing John's wound.

"Tatiana," John called out barely over a whisper. His hot tears coming down his face covered with dirt, sweat, blood, and tears.

They picked him up and took him to a surgical tent. John had lost consciousness and lots of blood.

Dear Mr.Hamilton,

On Tuesday the 27th, John Laurens was badly injured in a gunfight against the British troops. The war was over, John lost a lot of blood. We are sending him back to New York, from South Carolina. He wanted to let you know of his state also with his wife too.

Alex got up, it's not like John had died but it was his best friend who was seriously hurt. Why did it have to be him? Why John? Kylie looked up from reading the letter to Alex, she was speechless, of what she just read to him.

"Alex, I," Kylie bit her lip, she wanted to say something, but she couldn't, what pain Tatiana must be in, Only 5 months pregnant. She almost became a widow. Kylie put the letter on the table and did what she knew best, she hugged Alex and comforted him throughout the whole day, she ignored his protest of work and kept him still.

"He wanted to let you as his wife and his closest friend Mr. Hamilton to know of his state," Tatiana cried as she read the last bit of her letter.

"John," She cried out and sobbed. Michelle right by her side held her close as her best friend sobbed.

The day was filled with grief, John may have dodged death, but it hurt knowing that those moments could've been his last. He thought of every reason to stay strong; his wife, unborn child, His best friends, his family, and his purpose of life.

When John arrived home, he was taken to his house, on bed rest. The doctor came everyday to check up on him. Tatiana stayed by his side through it all, Michelle and Lafayette would come and entertain the two. Alex and Kylie would talk to them, and tell future plans that would soon fold out into play.

Everyday seemed to get a little easier for John, He was able to walk again, to run, to doing anything. It took weeks for him to heal and be himself again.

"John stop it, I'm only 6 months, chill out I can go and do it myself," Tatiana complained.

"Please baby, I can do it, I've gone out since then," He begged.

"Fine, we go out together then," Tatiana smiled.
