Electing The Alpha

Chapter 82:

Nicole POV

"No no no! Break the eggs in this!" Alec's mom scolds handing me a blue bowl and I oblige breaking the eggs in it.

"I'm sorry" I apologize.
"It is okay dear" she says and washes some carrots under the running water from the faucet into the sink.

"How is Madison today?" I ask Alec's mom. She went to check on her this morning and I'm curious to know if she is alright. And yeah, today is 19th December! I'll be going with Mr Winters to the police station to file a report.

"She is alright! There is no pain now and the baby is in good condition" she tells me as she whisks the eggs I had just broken.

"That's great"
"Yeah. It's rather unfortunate to see a young girl like her dealing with pregnancy troubles but I can't say much because it is my own son who got her pregnant"

I could see disappointment written all over her face.
"Don't be so disappointed Mrs Winters. Alec didn't wish for it to happen"

"If he had at least listened to me and had stopped bringing all manner of girls into this house, this wouldn't have happened! I wouldn't be surprised if another bimbo shows up and tells him she is pregnant" she says exasperatedly. I chuckle slightly.

'Don't talk like that mother! You make me feel bad "I hear Alec's voice at the doorway and his mother turns abruptly nearly dropping her knife.

" well its the truth! If you hadn't been flirting and playing around, none of these would be happening and you would be with Nicole!!!"

My stomach churns when I hear her say that last sentence. Alec's expression softens.

"You are right" he admits softly and takes a deep breath.
"I failed you mother" he adds with tears in his eyes. He looks at his mom  for one last time and leaves.

His mom is too livid to notice how sad her son is. If I were in his shoes, I would have done the same thing.
"Mrs Winters,  I think you were mean"
"That is the only language my son can understand! Being mean to him"

I shrug and continue to chop the onions.
"Mom, what are you preparing for breakfast?" Lucas asks as he opens the refrigerator and removes a glass of lemonade.
"Can't tell you! You'll find out later"
Lucas shrugs and walks out with his lemonade.

"Isn't he cute?" Alec's mom asks and I just smile.
"Yeah he is" I reply
"When I gave birth to him, he was so adorable! Alec too was like that. So cute and cuddly"

"What about Thomas?"
A small smile creeps onto her face.
"Thomas was such an angel when I gave birth to him too. But he cannot be compared to Alec and Lucas's cuteness" she says with a giggle.
I chuckle along.

So we are finally done with the super breakfast Alec's mom decided to prepare for the family and I help her transport the food to the dining hall.

"Honey, you should have let the maids cook" Mr Winters grumbles as we lay the breakfast comprising of pancakes, omelettes, bacon and sausages. Madison sat at the table. She gave me a weird look before leaning into Alec who still had that sad face.

"Come on! It is not a big deal! You know I love to cook and Nikki here helped me"
"Thank you Nicole! For helping my wife! She is just too stubborn"
"My pleasure" I reply and sit next to Lucas.

Madison shared the grace and we began eating. It reminded me of how I would sit with my family every morning to eat breakfast with them. I feel tears sting my eyes. But I want to know why my mom called even though I'm still angry with her.

"So as you all know, today is the day I'm going to file the report" Mr Winters speaks up.
"What report?" Lucas asks scrunching his thick eyebrows.
"Have you forgotten that dad told us Jake has been kidnapped?" Thomas reminds
"Oh yeah!"
Alec is quiet. He stares at his mom for sometime then shifts his gaze to his dad.
