Alex's POV

"The baby, the baby is mine." The biggest smile I've ever seen spread across his face.

I wiped the remainder of the tears from my face. He said the baby is his, I already knew that, he's only been telling me that for the past month. That no matter what happens the baby is his. There had to be more meaning behind that sentence.

"What do you mean?" I asked, blinking like a maniac to clear my vision. Damn tears.

"Dr. Croft, she called." He said with his signature smirk, replacing the massive smile that was there before.

"What? When?" She called him? Why didn't she call me?

"Right after you and my mum came up here." He explained, gesturing to his mom sitting quietly on the bed; watching us intently. "She said that she had been trying to get a hold of you, but you weren't answering, so she called me instead." Damn it, where's my phone? "And she said that she had to leave early for vacation tomorrow and that she had the results, but that she wanted to tell us in person, but that wouldn't be till after new years. I couldn't wait till after new years, so I convinced her to tell me the results. And it's me, I'm the dad. Not Max."


I took in a sharp breath. "Oh thank god!" I exclaimed before throwing my arms around his neck. "Thank god." I started sobbing again as he wrapped his arms around my waist. "Thank god." I kept repeating that phrase over and over again.

"I know, I know." He responded, comforting me and smoothing the back of my hair.

I heard mammoth sobs coming from behind me. I let go of Harry and turned to see Anne sobbing uncontrollably on the guest bed. She was shaking, but she got up and walked towards us.

"Oh my. Oh my. Thank you Lord." She spoke shakily. She threw her arms around the both of us, still bawling.

I wrapped my arms around her mid section tightly. I felt her trembling under my touch. Violent sobs ripped through her petite frame.

"Hey hey, it's okay." I whispered, rubbing her back.

"I know, I'm just so happy." She said, releasing her grip from Harry and pulling me into a proper hug. "So so happy, I'm so sorry for what I said just a few moments ago. I'm so sorry Alex, please forgive me." Her sobs and subsided most of the way, now it was more of just free flowing tears of pure joy.

"Don't you worry, I forgive you. I completely understand where you were coming from, you were just looking out for your son. I don't harbor any ill feelings for you." I squeezed her tighter, hoping that she'd understand to the maximum that I didn't blame her for her earlier words at all.

"Thank you." She breathed, leaving a kiss on my left cheek. "Thank you."

She released her grip from me. "Oh jeez, I'm going to be a grandmum!" She nervously chucked.

I looked over at Harry who's eyes had started to tear up a bit as he watched the encounter between his mom and I.



Harry's POV

Here I am, standing in my guest bedroom watching the love of my life and my mom crying and hugging. This isn't a sight I thought I'd see in a million years. I never imagined myself being a dad this young, but it was happening with Alex, and I wouldn't change a damn thing.


"Don't you worry, I forgive you. I completely understand where you were coming from, you were just looking out for your son. I don't harbor any ill feelings for you." Alex reassured my mum, with tears silently streaming down her face.

How did I get so lucky? Lucky to find someone that truly loved me for me, and not the person the world made me out to be. How did I get so lucky to have such an accepting family? How did I get so lucky to be able to find the love of my life so young? How did I get so lucky to be feeble to have children? My life had turned out so perfectly in such a short amount of time. I went from one girl to the next, never loving any of them. I went from partying all night to wanting to stay in and watch movies with my love and being completely okay with it. I've grown up a lot these last few months and I owed it all to Alex. Just thinking about all of that brought tears to my eyes.

"Oh jeez, I'm going to be a grandmum!" My mother nervously chuckled.

I pulled her into a hug and let the tears roll down my cheeks, I buried my face into my mum's hair; feeling like a kid again.

"Thank you mum." I choked out.

"For what?" She asked bewildered, and pulling me out to an arms length to examine my face.

"For everything." She pulled me back into her arms, squeezing tightly.

Alex's POV

"Well that went over better than I expected." I sighed, feeling relief take over my body. After the crying fest with Anne in the guest bedroom we all went back downstairs greeted with smiles on everyone's faces.

The boys were excited that they were going to be uncles and they said they couldn't wait to meet "little Haz". Of course all the boys say they want a boy, but Harry says he'd like a girl. Honestly I don't care. I just want the baby to be healthy. And no matter what we know the baby will be good looking, I mean look at the dad.( Wooh! ;) ) Gemma, Des, and Robin were all excited too. Gemma was excited that she's going to be an aunt, and she swore that she would fill her duty to the fullest by "spoiling your child rotten." Des was just as excited as Anne to be a grandparent, as well as Robin.


"I know, it feels like a weight has been lifted." He agreed.

"You're telling me." I called to him, walking into the master bath. I turned the shower on, I needed a hot shower to be able to fully relax.

"Have you thought of any names?" Harry asked, hoping up to sit on the bathroom counter.

"Not really, I have names that I like, but none that stand out. You?" I asked, pulling my shirt up over my head.

His eyes skimmed over my body before he answered, even though he's seen me naked countless times I still felt shy when he looked at me, and the made butterfly's take up camp in my stomach.

"Well I've always liked Darcy for a girl." He said shrugging.

"Yeah, I know. And that's not happening." I chuckled.

"Why not?" He asked, his eyebrow shooting up in the process.

"I don't like that name, and there's now way in hell I'd name a child after Darcy's Wildlife."

"Darcy's Wildlife?" He questioned.

"Yeah, it was this annoying ass show that my friend would make me watch when I was younger."

"Okay, Darcy's out. What names do you like?"

"Um.. I like the name Emilia. I think it's pretty, but I don't know if I'd name my child that."

"I like Emilia."

"Can we talk about this after I shower?"

"Is that an invitation?" He shot, with his signature smirk.

"As much as I'd love that, no it's not. Now get out." I said with a grin on my face and pointing to the door.

"You know I've already seen everything, and I'm going to see a lot more when you're in labor." He winked, the smirk still intact.

"You are not!" I could feel the blush rush to my cheeks.

"Try and stop me." Again with that damn smirk.

"Out." I pointed to the door once more.

He raised his hands in defeat before heading out to the bedroom, purposely leaving the bathroom door open.

Random Fact!

I based Alex on myself, to an extent. I really love makeup and I will admit that I have a lot of it. I do freelance work here and there. (Like proms and Halloween, stuff like that.) But my dream is to be an established makeup artist one day, and if I met Harry while doing it and fell in love, I'd be perfectly okay with that! Hahaha!


Just like Alex my favorite brands are Urban Decay, Nars, Benefit, Maybelline and Rimmel.


So tell me, what's your dream job? And also do you like/wear makeup? If you do, what are your favorite brands?
