Junior Rider

Chapter 1

Alex stood in the crowded airport craning his neck as he tried with a vain attempt to see over the sea of people. He was beginning to think that he was at the wrong gate when he finally spotted a small, familiar light brown haired form making its way through the crowd.

"Alana" Alex called out as he pushed forward, closing in towards the girl who halted and looked up at the sound of her name. Alex felt his heart soar as he saw her face brighten slightly at the sight of him; he couldn't suppress the smile that began spreading across his face as he stopped in front of her.

"God Alex, I've missed you" Alana hissed as she pulled him into a one arm hug, her other arm clutching a bundle of blankets. Alex assumed it must have been cold on the plane.

"I've missed you too, Lana" Alex said a bit timidly as he pulled back to allow her to look him over. Alana smiled at his use of the nickname he always called her. Her smile broadened as she noted that Alex had developed a bit more muscle since the last time she had seen him. Though not too muscle, but just enough to hint to the fact that Alex could take care of himself in a fight. But then again it wasn't that surprising, seeing that Alex was a field agent for MI6, his work did call for him to keep himself built for the job. He was still as handsome as ever, with his blond shaggy hair that fell in his dark brown eyes.

"Come on Jack's waiting for us at the house. She's damned that I bring you straight over so she can meet you" Alex laughed as he led her to the baggage claim. At his words Alana's smile dropped slightly. Alex noticed her hesitation to follow and raised his eyebrows in questioning.

"Ah… I-I was hoping that we could talk be-before we go to your house" she stuttered. Confused Alex nodded; Alana smiled shakily as she grabbed his hand with her free one as they continued to the revolving belt filled with suitcases. After getting Alana's bags the two hurried out of the airport and to Alex black Lexis. It wasn't until they were in the car and was headed out onto the streets of London that Alex finally noticed Alana's strange attachment to the bundle of blankets in her arms that she had began to cradle gently.

"A-Alana?" he started but she cut him off as she realized what had caught his attention.

"Oh…Alex!" she started her voice cracking as tears began to fall from her pretty amber colored eyes.

"I wanted to tell you b-before, but I thought… I thought it would be better if I didn't".

By now Alex had began to realize that he was missing something, and that it would be best if he wasn't driving wile Alana told him what she needed to tell him. So, at the next stop light Alex turned the car into a parking lot of a small diner. Still even if he suspected where things were going Alex wanted her to tell him, maybe he was mistaken he thought.

"I'm so sorry Alex, I know you're not ready for this, b-but I couldn't stay in the states, Antonio he-he's still mad about us being together you know. And after you disappeared they wanted me to tell them where you were…"

Alex opened his mouth to ask if she told Antonio anything, but she cut him off before he could, "God no Alex… you know me better then that I-I didn't tell them anything, not even when they beat me…" she paused to look down at the bundle in her arms.

"But it wasn't until… until I realized I was pre-pregnant t-that I finally decided that I needed to get out".

Alex sat frozen at her words staring at her wishing that she would look up at him, but she didn't. Alana kept her eyes down cast, tears falling from her cheeks as she stared at the child that she carried. Alex shivers as he realized that if his suspicions were right it was his child that was obviously sleeping in the girl's arms.

"I needed out Alex, not only because I didn't have the guts to live the life anymore, not after you anyway. But because I had someone else to protect, and I know that if Antonio knew that I was pregnant that he would know that it- that the baby w-was y-yours… so I ran".

The two fell into silence, Alex's mind racing in disbelief and shock. It had been no more then a year ago since Alex had meet Alana when he was in America. They had met when the CIA had 'borrowed' Alex and had him infiltrate a small branch of the New York mafia lead by young Antonio Hondas the son of the mafia legend Leo Hondas. He was told that they only wanted Alex to watch Antonio and listen out for anything that had to do with the NSD. It was a new drug that had sufficed in the black market and was killing more people then thought possible in a short amount of time.

But as usual the job had quickly turned from a simple and quick job to a seriously complicated one. Though Alex's cover miraculously was never broken he still found himself in danger. But not in the usual sense of bad guy figuring out that he was a spy. Instead Alex found himself falling for Antonio's ex-girlfriend, Alana Johnson. Jealous, Antonio wanted to take Alex out, but the spy had gotten the boy's father to trust him. So, of course, Alex was off limits.

It wasn't until Alex was with them for a few minutes, working Leo all the while, steadily climbing up the ladder of the mafia, that Alex made his first mistake. He had become comfortable with the constant routine of working beside some of his men. Antonio's father had stationed beneath him, coming home to Alana, make love to her, and fall asleep happier then he had been in along time. It wasn't until after the incident with Antonio that Alex realized his mistake: a spy should never fall into a routine, if they did, it could be the last thing they ever did.

One night after the two had fallen asleep in each others arms, Alex and Alana were awoken as a hand roughly pulled Alana's naked body from the bed, while another pointed a gun at Alex's temple. It was Antonio of course and some other men Alex never caught the names of. After allowing Alana and Alex to put some clothes on Antonio and his men forced the two out of their apartment and into a car.

After a while they finally arrived at an abandon warehouse Alex had never been too. But he had quickly realized that the warehouse was exactly the reason the CIA had hired him. So wile the others were preoccupied Alex secretly activated the little gadget the CIA had given him to call them when he finally found the NSD lab. But of courses enforcements hadn't came quick enough. Alex had spent most of the night being beaten while the rest of the night had been a bit of a haze. But Alex did remember having enough sense to wait until he was left bleeding and battered in a dark corner with Alana crying and fussing over him to tell her the truth about himself. Though he didn't know if it was that wise to tell her that he was a spy, at the time, he really didn't care. He knew that if the CIA didn't come in time he'd end up dead even if she didn't nark on him, but if she didn't he didn't want her to be freaked out when the CIA barged in and try to run. He didn't want her to get hurt.

To his surprise, Alana didn't seem too surprised when he told her that he was a spy. Instead of running to the nearest gangster and telling them that was what he was, she just pulled him to her, cradling his weak form in her arms and kissed him firmly on the lips.

Alex smiled slightly at the memory, but it quickly fell from his lips as a small cry filled the silent car. Blinking, Alex peered warily over Alana's shoulder at the squirming child as it began to wake; but he couldn't see the baby's face. Though he did get an ear full as its cries becoming higher and higher with every passing moment.

"Oh no Jr… don't not now" Alan pleaded with the child as she slowly began to rock him up and down. Not sure what to do, Alex started to the car; he pulled out of the parking lot and started for home. He remembers Jack always telling him of how when he was younger he would cry uncontrollably, so she would take him for a drive and that would calm him until he fell asleep.

"Alex I-I'm so sorry" Alana wisped never once again not looking up from the still crying baby.

"Alana… quit apologizing none of this is your fault, I-I should have been using protection" he hissed as they neared he Chelsea home.

"Wh… you weren't?"

Alex didn't say anything; he was shore that he had used protection. He wasn't stupid, but he didn't know what else to say, he knew that Alana would continue to blame her self for something that wasn't her fault. It was nether of there fault, but Alex felt better knowing that she wasn't blaming herself. Still… he couldn't help wondering if the child was even his. But he didn't voice the question, he felt like a dick even thinking it. Still…

Alex pulled the car into the driveway, quickly getting out smiling Alana out then grabbing her suitcases from the trunk. As they reached the front door of Alex's house it was thrown open to revile a redheaded woman with a boyish face glaring at them.

"Oh, it's about time I was scared that something happened to the both of you" Jack shirked as she stepped aside happily letting them in.

"S-sorry Jack we kind of got sidetracked" Alex said as put Alana's suitcase in the corner of the hallway.

"Will… it alright as long as nothing happened" Jack huffed as she closed the door quickly locking it behind them.

"No nothing happened" Alex informed the housekeeper with and shaky smile, his dark eyes falling to the once again sleeping baby.

"W-what's that" Jack asked astonished as she followed Alex's gaze her own eyes falling on the baby's face.

They all fell into silence standing in the small hallway; Alex stared transfixed as his heart flew into his stomach. He was staring at the semi identical face to his baby pictures, minus the blond hair that was subsisted for Alana's light brown.

"Bloody hell" Alex hissed his eyes going wide as the thought 'he looks just like me' crossed Alex's dazed mind before he blacking out his body hitting the hallway floor with a thump.

Alex Rider the fearless teenage spy had just fainted.

A/N: I hope you guys like this, I know this story illustration teen pregnancy but I kind of thought that with all the Alex fanfic's that seem a bit sexual, I thought It'll be a bit more plausible if he ended up with a kid some were down the line… well that my opinion anyway... so, ENJOY :)
