Chapter 65
Benson and her team worked around the clock. Two years had passed and they finally found Maddy. She pleaded guilty to the hit and run. After a little more questioning, "Maddy" aka Madison, also escaped from prison to with an intent to kill Justin and Alex. She was sentenced to life in prison.
Justin's POV:
I woke up to the sound of the baby monitor and Alex groaning.
"I got her, baby." I say, lightly pushing her down. She fell asleep instantly. I get up to go to my daughter's room, Jordan. Once I reached her room, I step inside, carefully picking her up and bouncing her.
"Hush little baby, don't say a word, daddy's gonna buy you a hummingbird." I sang as she softly cried into my neck.
After a few minutes, she fell asleep. I put her back into the crib. I smile down at her; staring deeply at this little baby that Alex and I created. She had mostly her mommy's features but my stubbornness. I remember the time Alex told me she was pregnant.
Flashback
"Baby, I'm home!" I yell, as I put my car keys and wallet on the counter.
"Hi, my strong handsome man." Alex pecked my lips. I grabbed her waist, towering over her by a few inches, my forehead to hers; smiling between us.
"How was work?" Alex asked, as she traced my shirt, grabbing her with her fist.
"Tiring. Lonely without you." I say, kissing her gently.
"You said you wanted kids, right?" I picked her up bridal style and went up the couch.
"Yeah." I breathe out, plopping myself on the white, comfortable sofa.
"Well....you're going to have your wish." She say, her pearling whites showing. Realization hits me as my eyes widen and I let out a happy scream.
"YOU'RE PREGNANT?!" I jump from the couch, careful not to drop her and whirl her around.
"Yeah." She chuckles, releasing herself from my grip.
"We gonna get to the doctors." I say, staring deeply into her eyes.
"I've already taken care of that." She says.
*End of flashback*
That was nine months ago. Now I have this beautiful baby girl, just like her mother. She and her mother are the light of my world; the people who keep me in check. I love them for that. I love them for how they made me bounce back; even after all the crazy shit that happened over the past couple of years. I love how Alex never gave up on me even when I was at the lowest of lows.
