Dis: Pfft... I wish.

Ok... moving right along...


Three days later… (Monday)

Alex walked around the mall with her mother and older sister. Her mother had surprised her that Saturday and decided that Alex spend a weekend in New York, instead of being alone in Boston. Ashley, her older sister, had left her three children with their father and joined the two ladies to shop.

"Yeah, that one looks nice," Ashley commented as their mother posed a dress for them. They were in the women's fitting room at Macy's helping their mother pick out a dress for a party she was attending.

"I don't like it," Alex replied. "It's too… red."

"You haven't liked one thing that I've tried on," Cassandra, her mother, replied.

"Well I'm sorry," Alex said with a shrug. Ashley laughed as her mother walked back into the fitting room.

"So how you holding up?" Ashley asked looking over at her as they sat on the bench.

"Not all great. Pregnancy officially sucks," Alex said with a sigh.

"It's not that bad, just the last two months."

"Yeah, and it's even worse when they're kicking all the time."

"I can imagine."

"Yep," Alex said rubbing her stomach. "I just want her to come out already."

Ashley chuckled, "So you picked out a name yet?"

"No, this is horrible Ash. My baby's not gonna have a name."

"Yes she will."

They looked over as the door opened and their mother revealed another dress.

"Now that one's nice," Alex said.

"I don't like that one," Ashley countered. "It's too… old."

"Oh god," Cassandra said throwing her hands in the air. She went back inside to change.

Alex laughed. "We're gonna be here all day," she said.

"I guess so. But yeah… about the name thing, I dunno if you're gonna like this one, but I've always wanted to name my child Emma if it was ever a girl. However, since I've only had boys, there's no point in having the name."

Alex smiled. "You don't need to give me your name Ash."

"I want to, she's my first ever niece."

Alex hugged her. "Thank you so much."

"No need to thank me, it's my gift to your daughter." The sisters broke the hug as their mother came out outfitted in another dress.

"Now that one is perfect," Ashley commented.

"I definitely agree," Alex replied.

At the food court…

The women sat down at the table eating their food and chatting about different things.

"I just wanna workout after I have this baby. I definitely plan on getting back to my old weight," Alex said.

"Losing all that pregnancy sure as hell is not easy. Even though I'm still breast-feeding and taking care of the other two, I try to fit in at least two days at the gym each week," Ashley replied.

Alex made a face. "I've been trying to keep healthy, but those damn cravings are too strong. I'm now addicted to Count Dracula cereal."

Ashley and Cassandra laughed.

"I remember being addicted to this cake my mother used to make," Cassandra said. "She had to make a special one for me each week."

"Yeah, I used to have to eat Pringles with sour cream all the time when I was pregnant with Jonathan. Surprisingly, I was addicted to anything any of the other pregnancies," Ashley commented.

They talked a little while longer before leaving the mall. Ashley went home, while Alex headed back to her mother's and Greg's house. When they got there, Alex took a shower, and went to the living room to watch RAW with her mother and Greg.

"Oh god… I can't watch this anymore," Alex said covering her eyes as she saw John in the ring with a bloody face.

"Greg, hon, change the channel please," Cassandra said looking over at her husband. Greg changed the channel to something else.

Alex stood up. "I think I'm just gonna go to bed and get some sleep." She said goodnight to them both and went upstairs to sleep.

Alex woke up early the next morning to sounds of people coming from the kitchen. She got up and walked out of her room, curiously heading downstairs to see what was going on. Alex saw her family gathered in the kitchen.

"I didn't know you guys were coming," Alex said walking into the kitchen. She noticed her mother's eyes first, red from crying. "Mom… what happened?" she asked softly going over to her.

"Your father…" Cassandra replied. "…He died last night."

Shock overcame her the moment she heard those words. They replayed over and over again. Alex looked over at James for an answer and then at her sister, but she only received blank stares. She sat down in a chair in the kitchen trying to make sense of the situation.

"How could this happen?" she asked softly, mostly to herself.

"I got a call early this morning from Gloria and she told me what happened. He was in the hospital for the past couple of weeks. He had requested to be put off his medication," James said looking over at her as he leaned against the counter.

"That's just… unbelievable," Ashley said. "I just spoke to him the other day and he never told me anything."

"Wow..." Alex said shaking her head. "I… I don't know what to say."

Later on that morning as Alex packed her stuff to head back to Boston, her mind went to her father. She didn't know much about him, and was now starting to regret the fact that she never took the time to know him and why he left. Alex wiped a tear from her eye as she closed her duffel bag and walked out of the room.

"All right Mom I'm ready," Alex said as she waddled down the hall.

"Okay hon," Cassandra replied as she walked out of her room. Following Alex down the stairs, Cassandra put on her jacket and took out her car keys. Both ladies walked out of the house and to the car where they began their trip back to Boston.
