Alex was sitting in the living room with Athena and Chelsea as Dave pulled into the apartment complex. When he got out of his car the paparazzi was already there waiting for him. He pushed his way through the crowd not answering any of their questions. His main goal was to get upstairs to Alex's apartment and talk to her alone. He walked into the building and ran up the stairs. He ran to the door and came bursting through the door. Alex, Chelsea and Athena were startled by his sudden presence. "Dave, what is going on?" Asked Alex as she stood up.

"Athena and Chelsea go to your room. I need to talk to Alex alone," he said.

"Okay, Dad," said Athena as she took Chelsea's hand and walked her into the bedroom and shut the door behind them.

"Ok, Dave. What is going on? Why did you tell me not to turn on the TV, go on the internet or leave the house to take Chelsea to dance class?"

"Alex, the paparazzi is all over my ass right now and they're going to be all over yours too."

"Why?"

"Because of Bella Edwards."

"What about her?"

"She did an interview this morning with Good Morning America. Did you happen to catch it?"

"You know I didn't. I was in bed sleeping with you. You know I don't watch that crap."

"And you didn't watch TV at all today or go on the internet?"

"No we don't even have internet right now because of moving tomorrow. Now can you please tell me what's going on?"

"Bella Edwards called me a couple weeks ago."

"I know and I told you to block her number."

"I know but when she called me she told me she was on the way to the hospital because she was having our baby."

"YOUR BABY!!!!!?????? WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOUR BABY? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?"

"Alex, calm down you shouldn't get upset."

"YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO TELL ME NOT TO GET UPSET BUT YOU JUST TOLD ME THAT YOUR MISTRESS HAD YOUR BABY. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO SEND HER FLOWERS. DID YOU GET HER PREGNANT?"

"Alex, I swear to you I didn't even know she was pregnant. She never told me. As soon as the movie finished filming I told her I wanted nothing to do with her and that I never wanted to see her again. Then two weeks ago she called and told me she was having our baby. I thought she was lying as a way to get me to see her again so I told her to leave me alone and not bother me again. Then she threatened me if I didn't talk to her she was going to go public with it. I didn't talk to her and she went public with it today on Good Morning America."

"Okay. What interview are you talking about? What was said?"

"Here let me show you what's going on. I can get on the internet from my phone. You can watch the interview but I know you're going to get upset."

"I think it's a little late for me not to get upset."

"Is the baby okay?"

"For now."

"Alex, don't get upset."

"And I told you it was too late for me to not get upset. Just get the interview onto your phone so I can see it."

"All right," said Dave as he handed Alex his phone so she could watch the interview.

Alex looked at the phone cautiously as she watched the interview.

Host: Hello, Ms. Edwards. How are you today?

Bella: I'm good. How about you?"

Host: I'm good. I understand you just got a new movie role?

Bella: Yeah in a romantic comedy.

Host: Are you going to work with Dave Bautista on this movie too?

Bella: No he's not in the movie scene anymore. He decided he was going to be a family man. I guess his wife is pregnant. I don't know. I try not to get too involved in their lives. All I know is he's trying to work out some problems with his family and his wife is having a baby.

Host: Wow. You just said you don't get too involved in their lives but aren't you the reason they were having problems in the first place?

Bella: I don't know what you're referring to.

Host: Last April you hit the tabloids and shocked everyone as a woman Dave Bautista had an affair with. After that they ended up separating. So what happened between you and Dave?

Bella: He came on to me. I knew he was married and I knew he had a kid but I didn't care. He is a hot guy. He pursued me and I took the bait. It probably wasn't the smartest move on my part but how many people can actually say they got to sleep with Dave Bautista.

Host: Didn't you care that he had a wife or what would happen if she found out?

Bella: At first I was scared she was going to come after me. I mean she is Dave's wife. Dave seemed to be the type that would marry a hardcore chick but it turns out his wife is a sweetheart and she was stupid enough to take him back. Dave told me he didn't want me in his life and to leave him alone so I did.

Host: I've met his wife before she is really sweet. I don't think she would hurt a fly. So you have not talked to Dave?

Bella: Not since the movie finished. I didn't want to but then I felt I had to.

Host: Why did you have to?

Bella: Because he got me pregnant during the time we were together.

Host: And you just recently had a baby?

Bella: Yeah about two weeks ago. A little girl.

Host: That's sweet. Has Dave seen her?

Bella: I tried to contact him to let him know he had a baby but he yelled at me and then blocked my number. I figured he might want to be in his baby's life but I don't know.

Host: So Batista is your daughter's father?

Bella: Yes he is Kaylee's father.

Host: Well, that is a bombshell. I guess he's going to have another baby in a few weeks with his wife?

Bella: Yes but I think he needs to meet his daughter. She deserves him in her life.

Alex was still watching. She couldn't watch anymore. She began to cry and said, "Turn it off. I don't want to hear anymore," she said handing Dave his phone.

"Alex, are you okay?"

"I don't know," she said. "When you slept with her did you use protection?"

"No."

"YOU DIDN'T USE PROTECTION?? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? YOU CHEAT ON ME AND DON'T USE PROTECTION WITH THE WHORE THAT YOU'RE SCREWING AROUND WITH? DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY DISEASES YOU COULD HAVE BROUGHT BACK WITH YOU AND GIVEN TO ME? AND CLEARLY NOT TO MENTION YOU COULD KNOCK HER UP. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?"

"Alex, the baby can not be mine. I'm telling you. There is no way that baby is mine."

"Really, Dave do the math. You slept with her in April. It's January. That is 9 months. That baby could very well be yours."

"Alex, I'm sorry. I thought this was all behind us but here it is slapping us in the face again."

"Yeah, because of your own stupidity."

"Are you going to leave me again?"

"No, I'm not going to leave you. This is what happened. You cheated on me last year and the down fall is just now playing out. We had our fights, we dealt with it. Now we're going to deal with this. I don't know what's going to happen from here on out but right now I want you to leave. I want to be left alone. I will talk to you tomorrow. I can't talk to you tonight like this I'm too upset. I need time to cool down."

"Alex, if you're that upset I'm not going to leave you. What if something happens with the baby?"

"If something happens with the baby then I'll have Athena call you and you can meet me at the hospital but right now I want you to get out and leave me alone so I can think," she said as she started walking away.

Dave grabbed her and turned her around to face him. "Alex, look at me. I love you I didn't know any of this bullshit was going to happen. I am sorry. I really do love you."

Alex removed Dave's hands from her and pushed him away. "Don't ever touch me like that again. Don't ever put your hands on me like that again. I am not a child and you're not going to treat me like one. I love you too but I want you to get out so I can be left alone and think. I told you we will talk about this tomorrow."

"Alex."

"GET THE F**K OUT!"

Chelsea and Athena were in the bedroom listening to them yell at one another. "Athena, why are they yelling like that?"

"I don't know, Chelsea."

"I'm scared," she said.

"Me too, Chelsea. It will be okay though. Everything will be all right," she said as she hugged Chelsea.

Out in the living room Dave and Alex were still fighting. "Alex, please. Just let me stay here."

"I want to be left alone, Dave. I will talk to you about this tomorrow after I had time to think and calm down. Just get out."

"Fine," said Dave as he walked out and slammed the door shut. Dave walked down the steps and stormed pass the paparazzi that was standing outside the apartment building. They kept asking him questions and this time Dave flicked them off and walked to his car and drove to the new house. He was going to stay there for the night so Alex could have time to think.

Alex was in the kitchen getting a glass of water to calm down. She drank the water but she was so upset she took the glass and threw it. The glass shattered and it flew everywhere. She walked into Chelsea's room and said, "Athena, keep an eye on Chelsea. I'm going to be in my room doing some thinking. Please just keep her busy."

"Okay, Alex."

"Thank-you," said Alex as she walked into her bedroom. When Alex walked into the bedroom she shut the door behind her and laid down on the bed and started crying uncontrollably. She wasn't going to lose Dave again Her life with him meant too much to her. She was going to do what she had to in order to keep her life with him. Alex took her hand and rubbed it over her stomach and began to say, "Hey, little guy. How are you doing in there? You seem to be doing pretty well. You're fighting my stress. I'm your mommy. I am sorry that you have to deal with me getting upset and have to get my stressed pushed onto you. I'm sorry baby. I don't even know you yet but I love you. Your daddy is going to be a good daddy. He just doesn't think sometimes and does stupid things. I'm not going to leave him. I love him too much. If it wasn't for your daddy I wouldn't have you or your sister Chelsea. She's a little crazy but you'll love her. Your daddy and me have had some problems but the best thing to come out of them is you. You were made in the weirdest way but part of the reason we're back together is because of you. Your daddy is so excited to meet you and I'm pretty excited too but if you could just wait a couple more months it would be great. We want to meet you but not this soon so stay in there. The thing is your daddy is a good guy. He's sensitive and sweet. He has brought out the best in me. We're going to work together to give you and your sister the best life ever. Your daddy is going to seem scary at first but like I said he's too sweet and he's kind of a goof ball. You'll have fun with him. And I'm your mommy. I'm going to be the first person that holds you. I know you've heard me yell a lot but I'm actually a very sweet person. Just like your daddy he's one of the sweetest guys in this world but he's also the funniest. You're going to love us and we're going to love you so much. I can't wait to meet you but like I said just stay in there a little longer. And I'm sorry for all the stress I've put you under. I'm just glad you're strong enough not to let it hurt you. You're so active but you're my strong little guy and you're a fighter. You already act like your dad and that is one of the best things that could happen to you. I love you so much Benjamin/Evan just keep hanging in there and soon the time will come when you can meet the two people that are already crazy about you. I love you little guy. Have a goodnight's sleep."

Alex got up and walked out to the kitchen to clean up the glass that she threw. Athena and Chelsea were in the living room coloring. Alex got down on the floor and started cleaning. "Ouch," she said.

"Alex, are you okay?"

"Yeah. I'm just having a little pain."

"Is it the baby?"

"I don't know. It just hurts a lot."

"Do you need to go to the hospital?"

"I don't think so. I'll be fine," she said.

"Are you sure? Because you seem like you were really upset earlier so something might be wrong with the baby."

"I'm sure."

"Okay," said Athena.

Alex went back to cleaning and she started feeling sharp pains again. "Okay, Athena. I think I should go to the hospital."

"I can drive you there but where's my dad?"

"I don't know. I told him to leave so that I could be left alone. I don't know where he went."

"Okay. You call your doctor and tell her what's going on. And I'm going to call my dad and let him know what's going on."

"Okay." Alex called her doctor and she told her to head straight to labor and delivery at the hospital. Athena called her dad to let him know that Alex was in pain and she was going to the hospital. He told Athena he'd meet them at the hospital. "Athena, listen to me," said Alex.

"Yeah?"

"When we go out there I want you to ignore everything that is said to you. Don't even respond. The paparazzi is laying wait for me to go out there. Same goes for you Chelsea don't say a word to them ignore them and get straight to the car. Just keep walking," she said.

"Okay, Alex."

"Okay, Mama."

They left the apartment and headed to the hospital. When they stepped out of the apartment building the paparazzi came running over to them in a group. They started asking questions but all three of them kept walking and got into the car and drove off. Alex arrived at the hospital at the same time Dave did. They ran into each other, "Alex, I told you not to get upset."

"Dave, how am I supposed to react when you tell me that your mistress had your baby?"

"I know and I'm sorry. This is too much stress for you."

"Dave, it's okay. Let's just go make sure everything is all right with Benjamin/Evan."

"All right," he said as he took her hand and they walked into the hospital. They walked to the elevators and went up to labor and delivery. Athena and Chelsea went to wait in the waiting room while Alex checked in. They already knew she was coming. Dave took a visitor's pass and the nurse led them to the examination room. The nurse gave Alex a gown and told her to put it on. Dave took a seat on the chair in the room. He was scared that something was wrong with the baby. He would never be able to forgive himself if something happened to him. It was Dave's fault Alex got so upset.

Alex put the gown on and sat up on the bed. She was getting worried because she hadn't really felt the baby move as much as she usually did but she looked at Dave and saw the worried expression on his face. "Dave, I'm sure everything will be fine. He's a fighter. He's going to hang in there."

"I hope so," said Dave.

The nurse came in with Dr. Evans. "Hello, Alexandra. What seems to be the problem tonight?"

"I don't know. I just started feeling a lot of pressure and pain in my lower abdomen."

"Okay are they sharp pains?"

"Not really sharp but they're really intense."

"On a scale from 1-10 10 being the worst and 1 being the least would you say the pains are?"

"I'd say 8."

"Okay. Did you have any gush of fluid?"

"No."

"All right. Are you leaking any fluids?"

"No."

"Okay. Then I don't think you're in labor. I think you're having Braxton Hicks contractions. And I think it's a little early for them to start. You're only 25 weeks pregnant. Correct?"

"Yes, I am."

"Okay, we're going to hook you and the baby up to the monitor again to make sure everything is going all right with the baby and with you. Okay?"

"All right," said Alex.

"I had a feeling I'd see you in here tonight."

"Why?"

"I saw the news. I knew that it would set you over the top. That's why I need to monitor your blood pressure and the baby."

"Oh. Okay," said Alex as the nurse hooked her up to the monitor.

"Has there been a decrease in the baby's movements?"

"Yes. He hasn't been moving as much as he usually does."

"That's not a good sign. So let's just monitor him and make sure he's all right."

"Okay, Dr. Evans."

As soon as the nurse put the monitor on Alex's stomach the baby started doing flip flops. Apparently he wasn't too thrilled with the monitor. His heartbeat appeared on the monitor. "Okay, Alex. His heartbeat is strong but I want to keep you monitored for about an hour to make sure it doesn't drop. I'll be in later to check on you."

"Okay, Thank-you," said Alex.

"You're welcome. I'll see you later." Said Dr. Evans as she walked out of the room.

"Do you see, Dave?" asked Alex.

"I see and I'm sorry. Tell me the truth though, Alex. If I wouldn't have told you and you would have seen it on TV yourself wouldn't you have gotten more upset?"

"Yes. It was better coming from you but it still ended up with a trip to the hospital."

" I should have never told you. I should have waited. You can't handle this stress."

"Dave, if you wouldn't have told me I would have found out by tomorrow morning. So either way I would have been upset and chances are we would have ended up here."

"I just hope he's okay. I don't want you to go into labor tonight and him be born at 25 weeks."

"I don't think I'm going to go into labor. Do you hear all that flip flopping he's doing?"

"Yeah," said Dave.

"I think he's getting upset with the monitor. He is kicking like crazy. I don't think he's ever kicked this much since I could feel his movements."

"So he has a temper."

"Well, look who his parents are. We both have pretty bad tempers."

"Yeah, we do."

"And Dave, I'm sorry for reacting the way I did. It was just that it hit me unexpectedly. I can't hold this against you. Stuff happens. You cheated on me almost a year ago. I have forgiven you for that. This is just the down fall of it all. You told me before we can handle anything and this is something we can handle. It's shocking but I need you to be honest with me on one thing is Bella's baby really yours?"

"Alex, I don't know. I seriously don't know. I don't think it is. In case you haven't noticed Bella is a tramp. She could have been sleeping with someone else other than me. She's an easy lay. I personally think she's trying to pin the baby on me to cause us more problems."

"But you didn't use protection with her so there is a chance her daughter could be yours."

"Yeah, there is a chance but I'm going to be honest with you right now. I slept with her that one time last April. We were dating yes but that day I got into a fight with that guy from the paparazzi was the first and last time we slept with each other."

"Dave, it only takes one time for you to get someone pregnant. I want you to get a paternity test done on that baby."

"Why?"

"Because you are not paying child support, being in that baby's life or doing anything for that baby until you know the truth. If you're the dad then fine we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. If you're not the father Bella will have no more contact with you and there shouldn't be a reason for her to contact you if her baby isn't yours."

"All right."

"And I agree with you on one point she might just be trying to pin this baby on you to cause problems with us. I didn't like her talking about me like I'm some person that can be screwed over by some slut either. And I try to find the good in everybody but to sleep with a married man and know he's married and has a kid is low and disgusting."

"I know and I'm just as disgusting because I slept with her even though we were married. I am still sorry for that."

"Dave, you've been forgiven for that. Let's not dwell on that. Let's just deal with the situation at hand. The situation being that you could be the father of her baby. I want a sit down talk with Bella. You me and her."

"Alex, that's not a good idea."

"I don't care if it's a bad idea or not. I want a sit down talk with her. We're going to get this straightened out. And you are not going to be alone with some whore that's claiming you're the father of her kid. I'm going to be there."

"All right."

"Dave, I just want to tell you that you mean the world to me. I don't want to lose you again. My life with you means more to me than anything. I am never going to give up on you. I don't care what other shit is thrown our way we are going to handle it. We are going to get through it. And the most important thing is we're going to get through it together. Remember for better or for worse. I do have to say this though we had our problems but the best thing to come out of our problems was Benjamin/Evan. There is nothing in this world that we can't handle. Like you said we can handle anything. Look how much we've handled already. Everything isn't going to be perfect but at least we'll be together. I just wanted to put that out there just so you know you're not going to lose me ever again. I want forever with you."

"I want forever with you too. And you don't have to worry you're never going to lose me again. I am here for you and that's where I'm going to stay forever. There is never going to be a problem too big for us to handle. Whatever is thrown at us we will get through it together whether it's good or bad. Benjamin/Evan has been a blessing in this whole situation and I'm really grateful for him. My life with you means more to me than anything also. If it weren't for you I don't even know what kind of guy I would be right now. I'd probably still be wrestling sleeping with ring rats having no real commitment. I'd probably be out every night at the bar drinking and hanging out with my friends. That's the guy I used to be before I met you and then you changed me. I slipped up again but now I'm back to the guy I wanted to be and I always want to be. You gave me a beautiful daughter and I'm sure we're going to have a handsome son. I wouldn't have that life if it weren't for you. Thank-you. I love you."

"I love you too," said Alex. "You know what I just noticed?"

"What?"

"That you're sitting in this examination room and you're not panicking."

"Yeah probably because you're just hooked up to a monitor. There aren't any needles or anything to make me panic."

"That's something else I don't get about you."

"What?"

"Your fear of needles. You have like a dozen tattoos but you didn't panic when you got them done?"

"No."

"That's weird because don't they use a needle?"

"Yeah, I think it's just doctors I don't like and all that stuff that they do because when I got my tats I handled it well."

"I'd be more scared to get a tattoo from a tattoo artist than to get a shot from the doctor."

"Why?"

"Because a shot prevents you from getting diseases but getting a tattoo from a needle at a tattoo parlor is a little risky. If it's not a clean place you can end up getting diseases."

"See my tattoo artist is a good guy. He's clean. He always changes ink and needles before he does another person's tattoo. If you're interested in getting a tattoo he can do it for you."

"Dave, I'm pregnant. I can't get tattoos."

"After you're pregnant you can."

"I don't know. I don't really see the point in tattoos."

"You don't like my tattoos?"

"I love your tattoos. I personally like guys with tattoos I just don't know if I would get a tattoo myself."

"You're scared."

"No I'm not."

"Then prove it. After you have the baby get a tattoo."

"I don't want to."

"Because you're scared."

"I am not scared, Dave. I just don't want a tattoo. They last forever."

"You're scared."

"No I'm not."

"Alex, then just get a tattoo after you have the baby."

"I'll think about it and if I get one you're going to get another one so you're there when I get mine done."

"Fair enough."

"All right," said Alex. "I mean I'm not saying I'm getting one it's just a what if situation. If I would get one you would have to get another one done."

"Okay," Dave said with a smile.

The doctor came back in the room. "Okay, Alexandra. I have been monitoring the baby for the last hour. He seems to be doing well. Your blood pressure is a little high but not high enough for you to be put on bed rest. I do want you to take it easy though. I don't know what is going on with this other woman, you and your husband but I don't' want it getting you too upset or else you might be back in here. And that time you might not be as lucky and end up having him pre mature. My advice is to stay as far away from the situation as you can for the next 15 weeks but I can't blame you for wanting to work anything out. If you're going to try to work something out calmness is the key. Do not let it upset you and stress you out. Your number 1 priority is that baby's health. I mean judging by his heartbeat he seems to be a very healthy baby but if you keep putting him under stress and strain he might not be that healthy. He's a fighter that is for sure because most babies that are under this much stress either came pre-maturely or their mother miscarried. Your baby is too strong to let the stress get to him but I don't recommend you put more stress and strain on him. You want him to be healthy don't you?"

"Yes," replied Alex.

"Then keep yourself calm and don't get so upset. I know this is probably a trying situation for you and your family but you have to do your best to stay calm. You have 15 weeks to go and I am hoping I don't see you back in this room again until it's time for you to deliver him."

"Okay," said Alex.

"All right, well the nurse is going to come in here and unhook you from the monitor. You can get dressed when she's done and then you're free to go but remember take it easy and stay calm."

"Okay. Thank-you," said Alex.

"You're welcome. Have a good night," said Dr. Evans as she left the room. The nurse unhooked Alex from the monitor and then left the room. Alex got dressed and Dave and her left the room and started walking to the waiting room to get the girls.

"See, Alex. Don't do the sit down until after you have the baby," said Dave.

"Dave, I'll be calm. I'm not going to get upset," said Alex.

"Alex, are you sure?"

"Yes, the sooner we face this problem the quicker it will disappear."

"All right, Alex."

They walked into the waiting room and Athena got up and said, "How is the baby?"

"He's good," said Alex.

"That's good," she said. "I was really worried about him and I was worried about you."

"Thank-you," said Alex.

"Oh, Chelsea fell asleep while we were waiting for you."

"Okay," said Dave as he walked over and picked her up to carry her to the car.

"So Dad, when are you going to tell me what's going on?"

"We'll talk about it tomorrow. It's been a long evening and now I just want to go home and relax. Well after we fight the paparazzi to get back into the apartment," he said.

"All right," said Athena.

They walked to their cars and headed to the apartment. When they got to the apartment the paparazzi was camped out waiting for them. They began asking questions as they walked into the building but like always they ignored them. When Alex and Dave were ready to talk to the media about what was going on they were going to do it on their terms and not through tabloids or magazines.

*A/N: ANd ther you have it chapter 25! Bella is a little conviving isn't she? And does anyone else think it's a bad idea for Alex to have a sit down with Bella and DAve? Tell me what did you think about it? Please review. I love getting your reviews and thank you for taking the time to read.
