How long can it take to kill an old man?
more than two months!
Two months! 
And I haven't heard from Alex since. On miss calls and texts no response at this point I don't even know if he's alive. 
Calm down Alara! I take a deep breath sitting criss-cross on my bed. 
Alex is fine I trust him I just need to wait... and pray 
I take another deep breath when my eyes catch to the test on the vanity if our lives didn't have enough problems here was another one. I stand up from the bed and walk over towards the vanity looking down at the test. 
I took five tests, Five!  and not one of them was different all read the same answer. I take another deep breath and rub my hands on my temples. I'm fucking pregnant and even thinking about it makes me want to throw up. Can you imagine me being pregnant?
Can I even raise a child? I don't even know what one is if I'm being serious. Next week I have a doctor's appointment and I was really hoping I could decide what I was going to do about it yet I don't want to make the decision without Alex. 
" Alara! come on dinners set" Annas' voice makes me throw the test in a drawer and tie my hair back fixing myself, let's just hope Alex reaches me soon.

I stir in my sleep on the faint vibration of my phone, I groan picking it up from the nightstand. Squinting my eyes on the bright screen to read...
Meet outside by the backdoors, 
I jolt up from bed, though it was an unknown number it had to be Alex. I run towards the drawer holding the test in my hand and grabbing a robe to cover myself as I head downstairs. I look at the test in my hands and sigh holding it behind my back as I open the back door. Instead of finding Alex, the tall figure turns around to reveal Ben.
"Ben?" I whisper 
"Alara" he sighs walking closer 
"Wheres Alex" I look behind and only see an empty car. 
"Alara there's been a problem-"
"what! wheres Alex, Ben it's been two months!"I exclaim quietly as possible 
"Two months," I say again and he nods looking on the ground 
"We know," He sighs meeting my eye again " Keans been gone out of the country when he comes back Alonso will be home too we have to wait until Alonso is out of town" he shakes his head and I furrow my eyebrows 
" and how long will that take?" I finally ask and he shakes his head throwing it back 
" at least two more months"
"is that the maximum" I exclaim and he looks at me with furrowed eyebrows  
"minimum" he mutters and my eyebrows raise as I take a step back covering my open mouth with my fist 
"why? why? hasn't he called me back?" I ask and ben looks away 
"why isn't he the one who is here right now ben?" 
"he didn't want me to stress you about this but I think you have a right to know" ben tucks both his hands in his pockets to stop from fidgeting and I look at him wide-eyed waiting for his explanation.
"When we got back we found out alexanders..." he looks away from me then blows out a warm breath in the chilly wind " Kean and Alonso got Alexender engaged, His name is tied into documents Alara he's trapped into another mafia, he's trying to remove them but we can't without the girl signing the documents" I can't breath, my heart is going to pump out of my chest I place my hand on my chest trying to control my breathing 
"Do you know who it is?" I carefully ask
"No that's what we're trying to figure out once he finds out he'll get it done"He comes up to me and rests his hand on my shoulder 
"Alara trust me he looks at you like you hold his world in your hands, he would fight satan himself to come back to you, we just have to trust him" tears well up in my eyes, damn stupid fuking pathetic hormones. I try to bring my hand to wipe my wet cheeks only then do I realize the pregnancy test in my hand and quickly hide my hand back behind me. God, how could I forget?  Currently thirteen weeks pregnant in two months I would be about twenty-three weeks? It would be too late, wouldn't it?  god, I have the doctor's visit planned for next week I was really hoping for Alex to be there.
"Alara?"I realize I froze in place but quickly look up to ben 
"what are you holding behind you?" he furrows his eyebrow 
and I shake my head and shrug 
"Nothing.. just make sure Alex is safe please" I assume ben would ask again but he lets it go and shakes his head 
"it's funny he asked the same thing" he pats my shoulder and hugs me gently "don't worry Alara zion and I am right next to him and are just a call away if you need anything" I smile and nod before he walks away.

The door clicks open and the  middle-aged Burnett doctor walks in with a smile, 
"Hello Alara, I'm Dr. Rozetta" She puts on blue gloves over her hands "Are you ready to see baby" she smiles and I keep staring at the ceiling of the room and just gulp, I haven't heard from Alex for almost three months now and I'm scared I might get attached to this thing growing in me and Alex might not want it, and I-
"Alara calm down" I feel her hand on my arm and she looks down at me as if she knew what was going on in my head 
"I know how it feels I've had an unplanned pregnancy before and I know how nerve-racking it is but once you see the baby I assure you you're not going to be nervous at all" I don't say anything and just nod but she's wrong I'm not nervous I'm scared, she's not the one who brought a child into a mafia I am.  She smiles and starts the machines next to me and picks up my shirt on top of my stomach and surrounds it with towels as she rubs this old goo on it. 
"The baby looks great.." she hums as she rubs the wand on my stomach in a circular motion
"so your a good 18 weeks now which means we could totally see the gender-Oh" she studies the Monitor squinting her eyes and I stare at her hoping she'll already tell me what she sees 
God, please tell me it's okay I feel my heart beating faster?
am I worried for this thing? Ah! it might be the hormones again.
"Are their twins in your family?" she asks and I shrug totally cached off guard 
"My great grandfather was but that's it" I remember my father telling me about his father and uncle and how he mixed them up when he was younger but that's all I knew.
"well  it's possible for twins to skip three generations" I sit up on my elbows gawking at the crazy brunette called dr in front of me 
"Are you telling me I have twins?!?"I fluster 
"yes Ms. Dola you're having two very healthy babies, will you like to know the genders?" she smiles and I gape at her
If one was not enough of a problem I'm having two? but think about it, having two little alexanders or mini me's would be really adorable I smile at my own thoughts and quickly snap out of it. 
"Well, I guess since I'm already here why not?" I shrug
" Ms. Dola you're having two healthy baby......"  she says and my heart grows te times bigger as she faces the monitor towards me

"  she says and my heart grows te times bigger as she faces the monitor towards me
