Angelica POV
I'm honestly speechless. My doctor says that my baby is due in about a week and I'm HUGE. Like really big.
I've sent many letters to Hamilton but to no prevail. I'm honestly really worried. What if he got shot? What if he died. What if he left me. What if he realized he doesn't need me and went off with some skank?!
I took a deep breath, no that's not MY Alexander! He loves me. He will be home soon .
Peggy, Avocado, And Laf have all arrived back in Harlem. Hercules and Alexander should be back. Any day now. Any time. They'll be here.
Alexander POV
The gunshot chattered my bones. It had gone strait over my head when i was picking up Jackie's letters. He had saved my life!! If we don't name that baby John there will be conflict.

Herc and I were on the carriage ride home. Ah home. Home is such a wonderful place, "AHHH I CANT WAIT TO SEE ANGIE EEEEEK!!! Ahem I mean" I paused, "*man noises*"
Herc chuckled as we pulled in front of the Schuyler-hamilton residence.
I saw my beautiful wife standing alone in the middle of the porch rubbing her giant balloon inflated stomach and biting her lip. She looked more nervous than anything. Even with a worried expression, she was gorgeous.
Angelica was holding a basket full of Eliza cookies. I know because they're blue. About a year ago, Eliza made her first batch of cookies and used the wrong flour. They tasted amazing but were blue. Ever since then we've only EVER made Eliza cookies.
HERC stepped out first and Angelica stayed where she was. She gave him a hug but still looked at the carriage with scared eyes.
I stepped out and she dropped the Eliza cookies-
:(
-and ran to me with open arms. I ran towards her and we embraced. There were tears in both of our eyes. It was a blissful moment.
We pulled away and locked eyes. I pressed my forehead against hers and closed my eyes.
I was finally happy. It was amazing.
Laf POV
"Wee wee mon ameee I'm hiiiiiighhhhh as fùúùú- noodles. Hahahahah you thought I was gonna say the fuck word but noooooo I dont swear!" I slurred.
I know I said I have an amunity to alcohol but that's only when I wanna and I don't wanna.
"Heyyyy herc*hicc* can iiiii tell youuyyy something special?!" I put my full body weight of Hercules.
I though he was sober but apparently not. I was very close to his face and could clearly see he was blushing but whyyyyy?
"Sure Laf go ahead" he stuttered.
I stopped and made herc turn around and face me in the booth. We looked at eachothers eyes, both sets wide.
I lean back. "Youuuyy mister Hercy dercy, are very VERY attractive" I breathed booping him on da nose.
"Thanks Laf you too" he chuckled and took another sip. Woah he thinks I'm attractive?! Yasssssssss
I tapped him on the shoulder repeatedly until he turned around again and I whispered In his ear. "Hey Hercules, can I kiss you?" I asked and gave him my French baguette puppy dog eyes.
He blushed and turned away. I tapped him on the shoulder again and this time he turned around slower. As soon as he was facing me I smashed my lips into his. I was extremely surprised when he kissed back but I wasn't complaining.
God I wish the rest of the world could all just melt away. All the rules. All the people around us. And for a moment it did. It all did. But like a crack of lightning, reality hit me.
I was breaking the rules. I'm not supposed to love a boy.
But screw the rules.
Herc is worth every punishment. Scratch that. This one kiss is worth it. I've been waiting too long but he was drunk and would never remember.
Herc POV
Laf pulled away first. I didn't want to stop kissing him but people would start to stare sooner or later. Laf was too drunk to understand what he was doing but at least I'll hold onto this moment in my memory.
God why can't I say it!! 3 words! 3 syllables.
I.
Love.
You.
Angelica POV
I was regaining my breath. The black spots were stating to disappear from my vision and I realized I was squeezing Alex's hand. "I'm so sorry honey I didn't mean to hut y-"
He shushed me and told me that the doctors were washing my baby up. It was a boy. A be baby boy.
My William.
The doctor came back in without the baby to my confusion. "Where- w- but" Alex rubbed my hand and looked at the doctor.
"The nurses are holding him in the other room while the others come out." Oh okay. That made perfect sense! Wait...
OTHERS?!
I started to ramble on and on about how I was told there was only one. I had to deliver 2 more because apparently was having triplets. I will love all of them but why does it have to hurt so much?!
~
"Your all done miss" the doctor carried my last baby away. According to him, William was my first healthy baby boy. Then the next one was a gorgeous little one who I decided to name Katherine. Then my third and final baby was a healthy baby girl who I decided to name Rachel after my mother in law.
I was calming down and Alex was talking to me soothingly about our tree children's future. About how 3 is a magic number and how kathrine would love it uptown but William would love the city and Rachel would love the water.
Everything's was perfect. I had a family. All was forgiven and forgotten.
That was until our doctor walked in with his head low. "I regret to inform you-"
