Monday

John POV
Alex was really stressed, we were leaving for the airport in an hour. We were packed and sitting on the couch, he sighed and I placed my hand on his thigh, "Hey, baby calm down, it's gonna be okay." he rolled his eyes and stood up, "How? How is this okay? There are like five reasons why this isn't gonna be okay!" he yelled and started pacing.

"First off, we're leaving on a Monday so we won't be able to attend our classes. We're coming back on Thursday and we both have classes on Thursday, you bought us first class tickets, I'm going back to Hell and the reason I'm going back!" he dropped to the floor and I jumped up expecting another panic attack, he held out his hands to show me he was fine and started breathing normally.

"I'm fine." he said standing up, I held him by the shoulders, "It's gonna be okay, I'm sure St. Croix isn't gonna be Hell." I said, I expected a glare but instead he pulled me into a hug, "I hope so..."

The door knocked, Alex let go and opened the door, "Mr Washington?" he said and opened the door a little wider, "Son, if you're not gonna call me dad you can at least call me 'George'." he said walking inside, "I'll think about it." Alex replied shutting the door, "I need to talk to you Alexander." he said, Alex looked even more scared now.

Washington must have seen this because he said, "No! Don't worry it's not bad!" he said and Alex calmed down a bit. He took a seat and so did Alex, "Okay so, Martha and I have been talking for a while about this, from before we adopted you." he started, "We've been wanting to adopt a child for a few years now, and we're very happy you've come into our lives but you're never really gonna be with us." Alex's eyes went wide, "Wait, are you saying what I think you're saying?" Alex asked getting excited, Washington smiled.

"We're adopting a little girl, she's going to arrive a few days before Christmas." Alex covered his mouth, "Oh my God..." Alex gasped, Washington placed his hand on Alex's shoulder, "You're getting a sister." he pulled Alex into a hug, "This is amazing!" I check my phone for the time, "Oh, baby we need to get to the airport!" I say. Alex takes a deep breath and grabs his bag, "We'll see you on Monday." I say grabbing my bag, Alex walks out the door.

"John, please take care of him." Washington says to me before I leave, "Of course." I reply, he nods and leaves. I walk out and Alex and I walk to the car, we get in and I drive us to the airport. "I'm still not okay with the first class tickets." Alex said once we gave the tickets to man at the desk, "You deserve it." I say as we walk into the first class lounge.

"When do we board?" he asked, I look at the ticket, "In ten minutes." I say and he sighs again. "Hey, it's gonna be okay." I say, he leans his head on my shoulder and I rub his arm. "It's only for a few days, it's gonna be fine."

We waited for the time we needed to board and finally the ten minutes are up and we're boarding the plane. The first class is amazing! We took our seats which are super comfortable, "See? It's worth it." I said and he rolled his eyes, "You shouldn't be spending $5000 on me." he said, I laughed and kissed his forehead, "I'm sure I'm gonna be spending a lot more on us in the future." I replied he looked at me confused, "Us?" he asked and I nodded my head, "Sure, I did this for us. And I'll be doing much more for us in the future."

He just stared at me for a moment, "Baby I love you, I'm want to make sure you're happy. No matter what." I said, "Baby, I love you too... But you really don't have to!" he said and I shook my head, "No, I want to."

The plane began to move as we started taking off. "And here we go." Alex sighed, I rubbed his arm, he smiled a little bit and kissed me, "Thank you for doing this with me. I really need you." he said. I love this man so much.

Alex POV
Took us six hours but we finally landed. John fell asleep for a few hours and oh my God he's so cute when he sleeps! We got off the plane and grabbed our bags.

We walk out of the airport and I immediately regret coming here. At least the weathers decent. "Let's get checked into our hotel because it's 1 in the morning and I wanna go to sleep." I say and John laughs. "Yeah, the hotels three streets away, we can walk."

We walked to the hotel and checked in, the room was really nice. I almost fell asleep immediately but John forced me to change into something more comfortable before I did that so I did.

The bed was so freaking comfortable. The dorms should get better mattresses. "I hate everything about planes." I say and he laughs climbing into his own bed, we got two separate beds because the only time we haven't slept in separate rooms are the two times I have a panic attack and fall asleep ontop of him on the couch.

"You feeling better?" he asked, I sighed, "...not really." he smiled a bit, "I'm sure you'll feel better tomorrow." he said, "And besides, we'll be home before you know it!" I then remembered what Washington told me before we left, "...Oh my God." John looked at me scared, "Baby the last few times you said that it wasn't a good 'Oh my God'." he said, I shook my head, "No, baby I'm getting a sister." I said, "I'm gonna be a brother!" John smiled, "Yeah you're right."

I switched off the light and lay there for a few moments, "John?" I asked, "Yeah?" "Can I get cuddles?" he laughed slightly, "Sure." he got up and climbed into the bed with me, I wrapped my arms around him and he pulled me into a hug, "I love you." he said, "I love you too."
