Chapter 11

"Aren't…I early I mean there's still a month and a half" Alex said while gritting her teeth to summon the pain. They were in the hospital room "Well you are a little but everything will be fine" the nurse said trying to reassure her, Alex was standing up even though she was told by the nurse and Justin to sit down. "Alex are you sure you don't want some water" Justin asked "Please shut up" she groaned "How much longer till its time" Alex asked clutching to her stomach "Well when the contractions get more frequent then we will get you to push" the nurse said "I'm just going to get the papers so I keep an account" and with that she walked out the room " "OWWW" screamed Justin was shaking he hated seeing her like this, he walked over to her and held her hand "Come on lie down this standing thing isn't helpful" he said, she didn't have the energy to argue so she followed him to the bed and lied down " Can we just talk it takes my mind off the situation" she said while gripping his hand " Ok what do you want to talk about" "Anything like whens my mum coming or your dad" "Well your mum said that she was on her way and my dad's coming a little later" he said "OH MY GOODNESS JUSTIN ITS TIME CALL SOMEONE PLEASE!" she yelled she was breathing heavily he ran out the room to get someone and the same nurse came in with another woman followed by Justin who had a worried look on his face "Ok honey how close are the contractions" "About a few seconds apart I don't know" she said crying and screaming Justin stood next to her and held her hand "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT" she screamed at him, not that he wasn't expecting it " Ok I can see the baby crowning I'm going to need you to push as hard as you can sweetie" said the mid wife she did she hadn't experienced so much pain in her life then she fell back on the bed and heard a scream "oh my god" Justin said she could see the shock in his eyes "It's a boy" said the mid wife "Where just going to take him and weigh because he was born a bit early he may have to go in the incubator but he looks fine" she said "I can't believe…he's here" Alex cried " You did awesome I love you" he said kissing her head.

Theresa Gomez was rushing around trying to find the ward "Excuse my daughter Alex Gomez I mean Russo was having a baby" "Oh your Mrs Russo's mother she's through there" said the midwife she opened the door and was surprised by what she saw…. Her baby was cradling a baby with Justin sitting beside her looking at the new life. She didn't know what to say Justin turned his face up and saw her "Hi Mrs Gomez… um this is your grandson" he said, she walked over and saw Alex watching her waiting for her to say something she looked at the baby his little eyes were closed and in that minute he yawned and curled his little tongue "He's beautiful" she said Alex smiled he weighed 5 pounds 7 ounces so he didn't need the incubator he was like a duplicate of his dad.

"How do we do this diaper thing" Alex asked "I guess we have to pull his legs up gently and um get some baby wipes and remove the business then you put the sudocream thing on to prevent nappy rash" "Ok sounds straight forward enough".

"Here's my lovely Grandson" Jerry said holding him close "Dad where's mum?" Justin asked " She's busy son I'm sorry" "Why is she doing this" Justin asked.

"He's so adorable" said Maya "I'm the godmother right" "No I am" said Harper "Hello guys Alex just had the baby leave her" said Bailey "Kiss up" whispered Maya "What was that" aske Bailey "Never said a word" she lied. Alex was currently holding him they still hadn't decided on a name talk about frustrating "So where's the daddy" asked Maya "Him and Max went to the store to buy some things for me the food here isn't to my liking" she laughed. Just then Gabi walked in holding a bag "Hey how are you guys" "Where fine" smiled Alex "Mum said to bring some of the baby clothes over" "Thank you so much" Alex said genuinely "It's fine".

"So what's this little guys name" Max said while holding him "Well I like Kai but Justin wants Michael" "Sorry Justin I prefer Kai" Max said "Told you" "Ok if were naming him Kai his middle name is Michael" "Deal" she said shaking his hand "Kai Michael Russo" perfect.

It was time for Alex and Kai to come home and Justin was carrying Kai and she was carrying her bags from the car. She unlocked the door no one was home "This is your home and daddy's going to come visit you and mummy everyday" Justin said to him Alex just smiled it was going to be hard but it was worth it. Kai started crying "Alex I think he's hungry" "Well I'll just nurse him like the mid wife showed me" she took him from Justin "You me…" "Yes Justin breastfeed" "While I'm here" he asked "Justin it's not like you haven't seen anything before….just relax" she said while walking into the room "Are you coming or are you going to stand there" he just followed her to the couch and she sat there and took down the top sleeve and the strap. Justin looked away he knew he'd seen it before it was just weird "Your being a baby turn around" she demanded so he did "Look see no problem is it going to be like this the next time we you know" "No of course not" he said shaking his head "Good" she said smiling.

The nights were the worst she loved Kai but he didn't seem to like sleeping what was up with that every 2 hours she was on her feet and what was most frustrating was Justin wasn't allowed over at nights so she had to do it alone, not that her mum and sister didn't help. She had just finished putting him down and now she couldn't go back to sleep it was 5 am. She went into the living area and turned the TV down and flicked through the channels… boring like anything good was on at this hour. "What are you doing up its only 5" asked Gabi who appeared from behind the door. "I just put Kai down and now I can't get back to sleep" she said "Why are you up" "I kind of heard something I'm a light sleeper" "I'm sorry I didn't mean…" "It fine I'm not that tired anymore anyway" she said and she sat beside her sister. "Being a mum is so hard I have no idea how mum did it especially after dad" "Don't worry you've got a team of support, so how's things with Justin's mum?" "Well she hasn't come to see him I honestly don't think she wants to after all I ruined her sons future why would she" Alex said "I'm sure she'll come around…eventually I mean you are his wife" "I don't know hopefully" she could keep hoping but she wasn't going to dwell it wasn't worth it as long as Justin was able to be there she was satisfied.

Jerry had asked Alex to come over with Kai her mum and sister, and Justin was picking them all up any minute. All of a sudden the door knocked Gabi was holding Kai and Theresa went to answer the door Alex was doing her finishing touches. "Hey Justin Alex is just finishing up" "Ok I'm ready" Alex said.

"Hi Theresa, Alex and Gabi" Mr Russo said "Hi Jerry" Justin was carrying Kai and as soon as Jerry saw his little grandson he scooped him out of Justin's hand. Max and Rocky came walking over "Hey guys awe he is so cute" Rocky smiled "Thanks" said Alex and Justin "Dad can I hold him" asked Max "In a minute" and by that he meant no. All of a sudden Carmen walked over and the whole atmosphere turned cold and everyone stayed absolutely quiet…..
