It had been weeks since the Russo family found out about Alex being pregnant and everything was stressful at first, but they were getting used to the idea…slowly, but surely.

Justin walked to where Alex was sitting and said, "So don't forget about your doctor's appointment, kay?"

Alex turned to him with a face of horror, "What?!? You never told me anything about that!"

Justin retorted, "Yes, I did, Alex. You haven't been listening to me."

"I'm not going."

"Yes you are."

"Fine, but you have to come with me." Alex smiled with satisfaction.

Now it was Justin's turn to be resistant, "Yeah, right! There's no way you can drag me into this!"

"Oh, Justin, come on!"

"No, Alex. Plus, I have to take care of Kaylin." Justin said.

"Kaylin can come with us! Remember what you said to me a couple weeks ago? You said you're going to help me with anything I need...no matter what!" Alex mentioned.

Justin sighed, "Alright. I'll come, but I hate doctors' appointments!"

"Isn't your job all about medicine?" Alex questioned.

"Yeah…but the researching part. I don't do well with broken bones and other crap." Justin shuddered.

Alex whispered under her breath, "What a nerd…"

Justin ignored what she said and mentioned, "Speaking of Kaylin, when are you going to tell her about the baby?"

"Why do we need to tell her? She isn't going to understand. She's only a year old." Alex said.

"But we should really tell her…it wouldn't hurt."

"Whatever…"

A couple minutes later, Justin returned with Kaylin in his arms and put her next to Alex.

Kaylin climbed over Alex in a matter of seconds, which caught Alex by surprise, "Whoa! Kaylin…." She turned to Justin and whispered in a hushed tone, "You didn't tell me you were going to bring her here!"

Justin rolled his eyes, "We just talked about this literally minutes ago."

"Yeah, but I thought you were going to tell her!" Alex exclaimed.

Justin smirked, "Well, too late now."

Alex looked down at the smiling little girl on her lap staring at her with the same eyes as Justin. She began to smile, but quickly picked her up and handed her to Justin. Kaylin began to cry once in Justin's arms.

"Great, Alex…Look what you did!" Justin said.

"So what?"

"Alex! Kaylin wants you….you're her mother." Justin reasoned.

"But I didn't ask to be her mother!" Alex raised her voice.

"Well I didn't ask to be her father, but what can we do?" Justin questioned.

Alex looked at the little girl with tears in her eyes and gave in, "Alright." She picked up Kaylin once more and smiled.

Kaylin began to laugh and babbled, "Me love mommy!"

Alex didn't have the guts to say "I love you" back to the little girl, so she jut ignored her and said, "Good…Kaylin."

Justin started, "Kaylin…we have something to tell you."

Kaylin looked up at Justin and smiled, "Dada?"

"Yea…umm, would you like a baby brother or sister, Kaylin?" Justin asked.

"Ba-ba?" Kaylin looked bewildered.

Justin looked at Alex, "What does that mean?"

Alex shrugged, "Umm…her bottle?"

"Oh…then no, Kaylin. Like another baby…" Justin tried to explain again.

This time Kaylin wasn't paying attention and began to play with Alex's hair.

Alex who was trying to pry Kaylin away from her hair just said, "I told you she wouldn't understand!"

Justin sighed, "Well, at least we tried."

----

Justin and Alex, along with Kaylin, finally arrive at the doctor's office in the afternoon. The doctor was examining Alex, who looked very uncomfortable.

The doctor smiled happily, "So are you ready for the ultrasound, Mrs. Russo?"

"Ready than I'll ever be." Alex muttered unhappily.

After the doctor applied the cool gel on Alex, a little picture popped up on a screen and she said, "Well, there's the baby!"

Justin felt more at ease as he looked at the tiny blob on the screen. He thought "This isn't so bad. It's kind of nice to see our baby."

Alex was just silent as she stared at the screen, but then asked, "Is it a boy or a girl?"

The doctor replied, "I think it's a little too early to find that out, but when you come back for your next appointment, we could probably tell you."

Alex just nodded and after a bit of paperwork, they were set to leave. When they finally arrive home, Justin asked, "Alex, you've been quiet…are you alright?"

"Yeah…just a little surprised." Alex said in a whisper.

"If you're thinking about the baby…I know what you mean. That was kind of…sweet." Justin said.

"Sure…you could say that, but I'm more concerned about returning home. I'm not so keen to have this baby." Alex mentioned, but then asked another question, "Justin?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you want a boy or a girl?" Alex asked quickly.

Justin didn't answer for a couple minutes, but then replied, "Well, honestly, I'd be happy with either. But I'd actually like a little girl…because Kaylin is really cute and it'd be nice for her to have a little sister."

"So….not a boy?" Alex shrugged.

"Well, I guess. A boy would be nice too….wait, how about you?"

"Well, I shouldn't even be thinking about this because I truthfully don't want kids. But a boy would be kind of nice." Alex stated.

Justin nodded and looked at Kaylin, "What would you like for dinner, Kaylin?"

"Pan...akes!" Kaylin clapped her tiny hands together.

Justin smiled, "Pancakes?"

Alex said, "Well, I hate to admit it, but pancakes actually sound very good right now."

Justin shrugged, "Alright then. Pancakes it is!"

They got all the ingredients to make pancakes out and began to cook. They made quite a mess, but had a lot of fun doing so. All of a sudden, Kaylin threw some flour on to Alex's face.

Alex jumped in surprise, "Kay…."

Before she could finish her statement, Justin began to laugh, "You…look…s..so…funny!"

"Shut up, Justin!" Alex said, but began to laugh along with everybody else and threw more flour on both Justin and Kaylin.

Kaylin shouted, with joy, "Mama! Dada! Kiss me!"

Alex smiled, "Alright…"

Both adults bent down and kissed their daughter right on the cheek. Kaylin giggled and jabbered, "Mama and Dad kiss!"

Justin quickly looked at Alex who looked really nervous, "Umm…Kaylin, not right now…how about mommy and daddy hug instead?"

Kaylin smiled, "O…tay."

Alex looked a lot more relieved and got closer to Justin and hugged him. As she did so, she whispered, "Thank you…"

Justin whispered back, "You bet."

They broke away and Kaylin giggled as she looked at her parents, "Fam..ily…love me!"

"We're a family now." Justin sounded surprise to hear himself say that.

Alex looked a bit upset, "Yeah…but we shouldn't be." She quickly left the kitchen and ran upstairs.

Kaylin's face expression dropped and questioned, "Mama?"

Justin sighed, knowing he hit a sensitive spot for Alex, and just said, "Umm…she had to do something, Kaylin. Just sit here and eat your pancakes." He quickly left to find Alex….he was doing a lot of that lately.

"Alex…we were perfectly fine just ten minutes ago, but you just have to ruin it! I'm sorry if I…" Justin began.

"I don't understand how you can just be so….accepting." Alex said quietly. "It's like you're meant to be here."

"What? You know that I…." Justin started again.

"Justin, you've never had a kid before and you're already the perfect father to Kaylin." Alex sounded distressed. "How can you do that when you know things aren't supposed to be this way?"

"I don't know, Alex…but every day, I feel more and more comfortable here." Justin reasoned.

"But you know it isn't right! We need to get back to our reality." Alex raised her voice.

Justin became angrier, "Is that all you really care about? Getting home?"

"Uhh…yeah! What about you?" Alex asked.

"Of course I care about that, but don't you think you should give that a break for a little bit? I think Max is right….magic brought us here for some reason."

"Who cares about that, Justin?" Alex yelled.

"Well, believe it or not, Alex, but I do. Did you see how happy Kaylin was tonight? It was because we were getting along for once. And when she mentioned us being a family…I had to agree." Justin reasoned.

"But this is wrong, Justin! It's supposed to be you, me, Max, mom, and dad…that's family! Not you, me, and Kaylin!" Alex shouted.

"Would you just stop being so self-centered?!?! Don't endure this life for you and I, Alex, do it for Kaylin…who believes that we are, in fact, her parents!" Justin asked loudly.

"Justin, I will never love Kaylin the way you do! Nor can I be with you!" Alex yelled, realizing she shouldn't have said that.

"Well, that's nice to know, Alex. But I truly believe that magic has some reason for this to happen." Justin retorted.

Alex calmed down, "Justin…I…"

"I'm so sick of you…this time, save it, Alex." Downstairs, Kaylin began to cry and Justin gave one last look to Alex, "I have to go and take care of Kaylin…whether you like it or not."

Alex was surprised by what her brother said and felt guilty. Maybe he was right…she needed to accept the fact that she was a part of this world now. It couldn't be all that bad if she at least tried….

Well, a little bit more of Kaylin, Justin and Alex fluff ;) in this chapter…but uh-oh…a fight! :O- lol! Review, plz!
