Chapter 2- Only Hope

The next morning Nate was opening his door when he received a newspaper from Jack Tyler, the paperboy. Jack smirked as he said good morning and gave him the newspaper. Nate unfold the newspaper and looked at the front page. It was a picture of them both and he had a shock of his life when he read the headlines. "Are Nate and Alex Gray are expecting a baby soon?" Nate ran back inside to see Alex making pancakes happily. "Alex! We have a problem" and showed her the paper.

She stared at the newspaper and looked up at him "Nate, why are you so worried about? Our good news on the front cover of a newspaper. Baby, its OK. You're happy right?" and held his hand. Nate's worried melted away by her voice and smiled at her "I am and I love you for that. You have made me the happiest man alive" and kissed her softly on her lips. "Now lets have breakfast" Alex said as they both sat down on the table and Alex placed pancakes in front of him. It has a piece of bacons as eyes, nose and mouth. Nate smiled and ate slowly. He was glad he had Alex. She makes his worries go away every time.

After breakfast they decided to get ready to go work. Alex carefully walked upstairs to their bedroom and went in the bathroom to shower. Nate came in when Alex was just fresh out of the shower. Alex who was dripping wet walked slowly on the carpeted floor towards the closet and chose a one button blazer matched with a classic rise trousers. She put her hair in a messy bun and clipped with a butterfly clip. She slipped into her Louis Vitton heels and picked up her Chanel handbag as Nate waited for her downstairs. He was wearing a twill button-pocket shirt with a flannel-lined bomber jacket and a loose fit jeans and he wore his sneakers. They walked to the car and drove silently.

When they arrived at Alex's magazine company, Alex kissed him on his cheeks and said "Well, bye Nate. I'll see you later!" and opened the door but her hand was blocked by Nate who kissed her passionately and said "Have a great day Alex. I love you" and smiled at her as he sees her opened the door and walked out and into the building. After he was sure Alex was gone, he sighed and drove towards his recording studio where he was currently recording song for his new album.

The day gone by quickly as Alex, who was busy with the Spring Fashion Show which is coming up in a couple of months. She was so busy that she forgot to eat. Thank goodness Janine, her secretary came in the room and brought her a muffin and a cup of orange juice. Alex stopped her work for a little while and brought the food to the pantry where she ate hungrily and when she drained the last of the juice, she threw away the cup and wrapper for the muffin and walked back to the office and continued what she was doing, arranging pictures for the Spring Fashion Show.

When the day was over, Alex rearranged the pictures and placed in a file and locked it in her drawer. She picked up her handbag and walked downstairs before saying goodbye to Janine and her other co-workers. When she was at the revolving door of the building she was his car and walked happily to him. He was leaning on his car and when he sees her he kisses her cheek and said "Hey babe, how was your day?" Alex smiled at him and said "It was alright. I was arranging for the Spring Fashion show. Now I am so tired." she yawned as they drove towards their apartment but he did a detour and went to a Chinese restaurant where they both enjoyed their dinner and they happily drove home.

When they arrived Alex was already asleep. Nate smiled at the sleeping Alex and carried her bridal style. He brought her to their bedroom and change her into her pajamas and put her on the bed where he pulled the covers halfway to her chest. He sat down next to her and kissed her forehead and went and stroke her now growing stomach. He was happy that he's going to be a dad soon. He then had an idea. He stood up quietly and left the room and took out his cell phone from his pocket. He decided to make a nursery and get ready for their baby. First of, he called his manager. He have to tell his manager that he have to stay in New York.

After hanging up from Alex's boss, telling him to cancel the arrangement, he went to an empty room and looked around and said "This will be the nursery. She'll be so happy" and turned off the lights as he headed towards their bedroom where he quickly changed and slipped under the covers and wrapped his arms around Alex who was sleeping so soundly. "Goodnight Alex. I love you" and kissed her forehead again before falling to sleep.

Many months has passed and now Alex is five months pregnant. Alex decided to go and find out the gender of the baby. She drove happily towards the clinic and made an appointment. She went alone because Nate caught a nasty cold and couldn't make it. When the gynaecologist called her in she was nervous. The gynaecologist told her to lift up her shirt and she put a cold gel on to her stomach. Then she put like a device where she waved the device back and forth until they heard and saw something on the screen of the machine.

Alex cried tears of joy to see not one but two heads moving up and about. "Twins?" she ask the gynaecologist and she nodded. "Yes. Do you want to know their gender?" the gynaecologist ask Alex who nodded rapidly as she wiped the goo off of herself. "yes please" and the gynaecologist showed where the private area of the baby is. One is a girl and another one is a boy. Alex cried tears of joy and said "Oh doctor. Thank you! Can you print out a few of these please?" and the gynaecologist just nodded and printed like a dozen copies and put them in an envelope and gave it to Alex who thank the doctor again before going out. Alex was smiling the whole drive home where Nate who was sitting on the couch waiting anxiously for her.

Alex opened the door to find Nate smiling at her with a big red, runny nose which he blew and said "Hey babe, how'd it go at the doctor's office?" Alex frowned when she saw her husband (AN: yup, I'm finally sayin' it.) still up when he suppose to rest. "Nate, you suppose to get some rest. You're not well. Come on lets get you to bed" and brought him upstairs. "Hold this" she said as she gave him the envelope. He opened it and saw the scan and saw not one but two babies. "Twins?" he said looking up at Alex who was smirking back at him. "Yes, we're having twins Nate. Are you happy?" she ask him who took a while before he hugged her which she protest "Nate, not now. You're sick! Now get in bed. I'll make you some hot chicken noodle soup. Don't do anything foolish while I'm gone" and walked out of the room and climbed down the stairs and headed towards the kitchen where she took out the ingredients and started making some chicken noodle soup for her dear husband smiling all the way. She's happy that her life with Nate turns out to be great. But little did she know that someone's out to get her and this might hurt her and might break their marriage.
