My Greatest Mistake (Stereo Kicks)

18) Baby is a.....

Part 2;

*Alexie's POV*

"J-James?" I croaked out, still admiring the tall, slender figure stood in the doorway.

"I'm sorry, Shannon said it was cancelled" he panted.

"Well, your here now so that's all that matters" I said before regaining my focus on the baby on the screen, who was kicking about like crazy.

"Well, James come sit down and I can reveal the gender of this little munchkin" Jodie smiled as James sat down beside me.

I extended my hand hoping he will hold it. When he did I clasped it as hard as possible. I wasn't letting go for anyone or anything.

"Well, you see that there?" Jodie pointed inbetween the legs.

James and I leant forward and squinted at the screen.

"There's nothing there" James' accent filled the room.

"Exactly" Jodie beamed.

"Is that good?" I asked, unsure of what was happening.

"Yes Lexi, say hello to your daughter" Jodie beamed. I watched James' reaction, his jaw dropped down.

"It's a girl?" James croaked out.

"Yes, that's what a daughter means" I giggled.

"Are you happy about a girl Lexi?" Jodie enquired.

"I didn't mind" I muttered back. I didn't care because I didn't want this baby.

"And how about you dad, a little girl?" Jodie spoke again.

"I'm-" James began speaking.

"He's not the dad" I shot back immediately.

"Oh yes, sorry Alexie" Jodie said as she looked down.

James and I were having a daughter. A daughter who wasn't going to stay with us. Someone else's daughter.

*James' POV*

I might be having a daughter. A daughter.

Lexi didn't seem as happy as I expected. Normally they cry or something, but she didn't seem attached to it like I would be if that was my daughter.

I'd drop Shannon in a heartbeat if that meant I could be with Lexi and her daughter.

"Well, she is very healthy and very active so keep doing what your doing" Jodie said as she typed at the computer screen.

"Thank you" Lexi smiled as she took her hand away from mine. She began wiping her stomach of the gel stuff.

"Welcome, now here are your pictures of your healthy baby girl" Jodie beamed as she handed Alexie an envelope.

Is it really that obvious? Everyone keeps calling me dad and Barclay seemed weird earlier.

Alexie got up and pulled her Tshirt down, she shoved the envelope in her handbag and pulled her coat on over her neat, round bump.

We left the room and Alexie stormed off.

"Lex, what's up?" I called out.

"Nothing James but go back to that skank of a girlfriend you have" she yelled at me.

"She's not my girlfriend, Lexi" I shouted. "Id be with you if I could" fuck I shouldn't of said that.

"Yeah, well I'm with Blake now" she sternly replied. I could feel my heart sinking.
