"JUSTIN!"

Alex was still on her knees on Justin's side, she had her hands on his chest, but she couldn't feel him breathing. "No…please…d-don't be…"

Shuddering with shock, she leaned her head against his chest and let the tears stream down her face.

Paul just stood there, a shocked expression on his face that suddenly turned into an anger one. "NO! IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE YOU!" He yelled, pointing at Alex. She looked up at him. He once more lifted his wand.

"Go ahead, kill me." She said, angry. He smirked, ready to strike.

"NO, YOU WON'T!" Someone yelled. Red light hit Paul on the back before he could move. He fainted, collapsing to the ground.

The sudden situation made Alex freeze on the spot. But then a familiar voice sent warmth though her...

"No one hurts my little girl."

Tears of joy rolled down Alex's cheeks.

"Daddy!"

He ran to her and hugged her tight.

"Dad…Justin…he…" she blabbed between sobs. Jerry's eyes widened and he looked at Justin, who was still lying cold on the ground.

…

Justin opened his eyes and looked around, raising an eyebrow. Clear clouds were everywhere. That unknown place was incredibly silent, calm running thought the air.

He just remembered being hit by a spell, some white light, and then he was there.

"Where am I?" he mumbled.

"You are in the way to heaven."(AN: yeah, I know…cliché attack) Hearing that voice, he stepped forward. Surprisingly, his foot didn't sink on the cloud-made "floor".

"What the…?!" he exclaimed, surprised. "That's totally nonsense."

"Well, life itself has no sense."

"I think I'm getting crazy…" he said, leading his hands to his head. "Is this my imagination?"

"Maybe…maybe not. It depends on what you wish."

"And…what do I wish?"

"That…was the right question." Justin stayed still. What was going on? "But do you…have the answer?"

He stopped to think. What did he mostly want at that moment…?

Alex. He wanted to be with her.

His heart jumped and warmth ran through him.

"Ahh…I see…" said the voice. "You wish to be with your loved one. The one you sacrificed yourself for."

He nodded, wondering if he could be seen. "Yeah, that's right."

"Hmmm…so I believe your place is not here…yet."

"What do you mea-" he started. Suddenly, he felt like he was being sucked by a whirlwind, everything faded out.

…

Alex had been looking at Justin, her hands on his chest, when she noticed his breathing slowly coming back. Her eyes went wide as he started to cough and gasp for air.

"What…Justin!" she exclaimed, instinctively grabbing the back of his neck with a hand, lifting him up.

His breathing was very unstable. He kept gasping for oxygen, a pleading look in his eyes,

"Dad, we gotta do something, he can't breathe!" said Alex, worried. Jerry just looked at them, frozen in the spot.

Alex looked into Justin's greenish blue eyes and did the only thing she could think of. She inspired and leaned in, pressing her lips against his and breathing into him. He relaxed and closed his eyes, his breathing slowly getting stable. When she pulled away he just stared at her, she quickly pulled him into a hug, hiding her face against his shoulder.

"Alex…" he said almost in a whisper. She looked up at him. "…I love you."

She smiled and leaned her forehead against his.

"I love you too."

…

Never did Alex think a baby could be so beautiful. She sighed as she held her baby boy in her arms. At that moment, Justin walked into the hospital room, smiling.

"So how are my lovely princess and my young heir?" he said, grinning. Alex chuckled.

"You're such a dork." She said. He faked a hurt face. "But a loveable dork."

He got closer to them and looked down at the newborn baby. Zachary Thomas Russo had greenish blue eyes, just like Justin's. And Alex's dark brown hair.

Justin smiled and kissed Alex's forehead. They heard footsteps, followed by Jerry, Theresa, Max and Chase walking into the room.

Silence fell over them. They all just stood still, waiting for someone to speak. Theresa often sent glances at Jerry, who had been looking directly at the baby. Alex just looked at him. She expected he father to act like all the times she referred to the baby. But, for her surprise, he smiled.

"He's beautiful, honey." He said. "You did a great job…I'm proud of you."

Alex smiled, Jerry put an arm around her and tapped Justin's shoulder playfully with the other. Theresa smiled.

"We're all proud of you." She said.

"Thanks, mom." Said Alex, smiling as well.

Justin looked at Chase, who had been silent.

"Hey, bro!" he called. Chase looked up at him. "Me and Alex had been thinking…do you wanna be his godfather?"

"Me…a godfather?" he said, quite surprised. Then he smiled. "Of course."

"Well…we need to go." Said Jerry. "See you two later." He, Theresa and Max walked out of the room.

"I'm taking off too. Gotta check on dad in jail. See ya bro, Alex." Said Chase, walking away and waving goodbye.

Justin then wrapped an arm around Alex's shoulder, tenderly looking into her eyes.

"You know…I couldn't be happier." He said. She smiled.

"I was about to say that."
