Okay, this is a new story. As in, I just thought of it a few minutes ago. Sorry, but I forgot to say Happy V-Day!
He left me alone. Risking his life to serve our country. I wasn't thinking about him leaving so early. Now I'm holding his child in my arms. I, Alexandra Grey is crying my eyes out. He just missed his child's birth. He wasn't here to see his new born baby. Our baby won't have a father for God knows when. He might die and leave me. Our new baby, which is a girl might not have a daddy.
Flashback:
Me: Nate, I'm pregnant!
Nate: *kisses me* Really!? Oh my god, this is great! I'm going to be a padre!
Me: *laughing* I can't wait to see him or her.
Nate: How far along are you?
Me: 7 weeks
Nate: *smiling* Do you know what day it was 7 weeks ago?
Me: *nods* Our anniversary.
Nate: *hugs me* This is probably the best anniversary gift anyone could ever give to their husband. Which to you prefer? Girl or boy?
Me: A boy. After what my mom has done for me, I don't even want to know what I'm going to have to work with if I get a girl. How about you?
Nate: A girl.
Me: *raises my eybrow* Really? Why is that? Just a week ago you said you were the toughest guy in the world, and you want a girl?
Nate: You don't have to do anything if we get a baby girl. I'll do everything for her, no matter what. I want a Daddy's little angel.
Me: Girls? Angels? Pshh, not with Russo blood!
Nate: *laughs* Very true.
I hugged my little girl, and she played with my fingers. She found her was to my wedding ring and twisted it and played with it. I couldn't help but think about him.
Flashback:
Me: Why did you want to walk on the beach again?
Nate: C'mon, let's go! I have a surprise! *runs off*
Me: Nate! *follows* Geez, your 22 and you're acting like a 7 year old!
He turned at a corner, and I followed him. My eyes widened as I saw a picnic blanket over the soft sand, on the picnic blanket, there was Nate sitting with a guitar in his hands. He nodded, giving me a sign to sit in front of him. So I did.
Me: *panting* What do you want, Nate?
Nate: I wrote a song! I wrote a song!
Me: Nate, you always write songs.
Nate: Nope, this is special!
Me: But-
He already started strumming.I sighed.
Called you for the first time yesterday
Finally found the missing part of me
Felt so close but you were far away
Left me without anything to say
(CHORUS)
Now I'm speechless, over the edge
I'm just breathless
I never thought that I'd catch this love bug again
Hopeless, head over heels in the moment
I never thought that I'd get hit by this love bug again
Me: *tapping feet*
I can't get your smile out of my mind
[I can't get you out of my mind]
I think about your eyes all the time
You're beautiful but you don't even try
(You don't even, don't even try)
Modesty is just so hard to find
(CHORUS)
Now I'm speechless, over the edge
I'm just breathless
I never thought that I'd catch this love bug again
Hopeless, head over heels in the moment
I never thought that I'd get hit by this love bug again
Kissed her for the first time yesterday
Everything I wished that it would be
Suddenly I forgot how to speak
Hopeless, breathless
Baby can't you see?
Now I'm...
(guitar solo)
Me: *smiling*
YEAH, OH
Me: *Laughing*
I started singing along.
Now I'm speechless, over the edge
I'm just breathless
I never thought that I'd catch this love bug again
Hopeless, head over heels in the moment
I never thought that I'd get hit by this love bug again
[ohhh]
Love Bug again
[woo!]
Nate: Did you like it?
Me: It's definitely one of my favorites.
I started to get up, and Nate put down the was still sitting on the blanket.
Me: Aren't you going to get up?
Nate: Alex, I love you with all my heart. I promise that I will never leave you. *goes on his knees and pulls out a little black box*
Me: *starts tearing up*
Nate: *opens the box and reveals a diamond ring* Alex, will you marry me?
Me: Yes!!! *takes the ring and places it on my ring finger* Nate, are you serious?
Nate: Never been more serious in my life.*holds my hand and plays with my fingers*
I hear a cellphone ringing. I looked around and saw that it was my cellphone. My hands shook as I checked my caller ID. It was Nate.
Me: *answers the phone* Nate?
???: Hey, Alex. This is Shane.
Me: Hey Shane how's Iraq?
Shane: It's hard. Nate just wounded his leg.
Me: What?! Shane, what happened?
Shane: He got shot. It's pretty bad, though. It's infected.
Me: *tearing up again* Is he okay?
Shane:*silence* I don't know. I have to go. I'll talk to you later.
Me: What?!?! Shane, don't-
The phone hung up.
I held the little baby girl, and made a promise to never, ever loose her. If I loose Nate, I won't have anyone but her. I don't even know what to name her.
Flashback:
Nate: How about Mary?
Me: No, something unique.
Nate: Sha nay nay?
Me: Not that unique! How about… I don't know.
Nate: Don't worry, we'll think of something. I bet you, once the time comes, we'll know exactly what to name her.
Me: *smiling* okay.
A nurse came in.
Nurse: Hi, how are you doing Miss…
Me: Grey. Alexandra Marie Russo Grey, Alex for short.
Nurse:Oh, okay Alex. I'm sorry, but I have to take your baby for now.
Me:*frowns* Okay *whispers* I love you, girly. *hands my baby to the nurse*
Nurse: *smiling* You must be a very proud mother.
Me: Absoloutley, she's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
Nurse: How does the father feel?
Me: *looks down* He's…
Nurse: He's… gone?
Me: He's in Iraq, and he's not doing so well. *looks down and starts bawling*
Nurse: Oh, I'm so sorry. I hope he'll make it.
Me: Me too. Uhh… hey umm miss-
Nurse: Mitchie Torres. It sounds like a name for younger people, but hey.
Me: *laughs* I know that it sounds weird but… ca-can you keep me some company?
Nurse: *smiles* Sure. You're the nicest girl I've ever met after she's had labor.
Me: *laughs* Well then call me Miss Sunshine!
Alright, that's it. Can anyone give me ideas on what to name the baby? Something unique, like Alex said. And no, not Sha nay nay. I like Sha nay nay, but it doesn't work for me or the story.
