PREGNANT ALEXANDRA
Alexandra was sitting on the bed, clutching her skirts with her hands.
She looked anxious.
Bobby walked over to her, sat down beside her, hugging her.
- What's wrong ?
Alex brought his attention to Bobby's face, he was looking at her worried.
How to tell him ?
They still weren't married and she knew that would have looked bad.
How to tell her that she was expecting a child and that he might have the name of bastard.
So that they loved each other.
It really wasn't fair!
- I am pregnant !
At his words Bobby his heart leap in his chest.
He crouched down beside her, taking her hands in his.
- That's wonderful Alex! The young woman shook her head in denial, tears in her eyes. Bobby felt his heart break. Alex didn't want this child. Don't you want this child?
Alex understood from Bobby's face that he had misinterpreted his words, and that he was hurt.
He wanted to pull away, but she grabbed him by the arm.
- No that's not what you think!
So what was it! Why had she been anxious, and why was she reacting like that, to the point of tears in her eyes. But what's going on, we're not married by yet and I don't want him to be labeled a bastard!
So that was it!
He had to admit she was right, this child had been conceived out of wedlock and he risked having the diminutive bastard, when he would not be! Because they were going to get married, but they still had to plan everything, organize everything, and it was taking time!
And they had promised Betty to wait for Andy's recovery!
So that this one is present, and he was intended to be his witness.
But what should they do? They did not want this child to have to suffer the consequences, even though he was the fruit of their loves.
He crouched down next to the young woman, stroking her cheek.
- Don't worry we'll manage! And then this child is the fruit of our love and I would do anything to protect him!
Alex wrapped his arms around Bobby's neck who hugged her tightly.
- I love you Robert Goren!
He smiles.
- What!
General Johnny Eames, his face contorted with hatred, came forward with clenched fists towards Goren.
Alex stepped in, standing between the two men, his hand on his father's chest.
- But father ... Alexandra blushed violently. But I love him !
Johnny Eames was looking at his daughter like she was crazy, that she had lost her mind.
- I would not tolerate ...
Alex stopped his father.
- This is not a title I'm looking for!
She glared at her father, in front of a confused Goren who watched her do it. If her father reacted like that to the idea of her marrying Bobby, what would happen if she broke the other news to him!
She had waited too long to announce her engagement to Goren, and she would never have this man who called himself her father react like that!
Bobby had warned him, these were not their time and we weren't marrying who we wanted at that time! Matters of the heart always came last, or didn't exist!
But Alex regretted his real father!
He was swimming her to have little children.
She knew her father adored Bobby and she knew he would have been glad if she remarried and finally found happiness.
But this man was totally different and she turned away from him.
Then with pride turned and spat in his face the words that made his father stagger.
- I'm expecting her child! She was screaming, approaching her father dangerously. Goren grabbed Alex's arm to try to calm her down, but she struggled! You let go of me! He let go of her. Do you prefer this child to be a bastard?
Johnny Eames regarded his daughter as forbidden.
God, she looked like her mother right now!
He almost gave in, but his anger took over!
- Get out of this house! He indicated his hand out, looking away. You are no longer my daughter!
Alex looked at this man, shocked and hurt.
Bobby put his hand over her mouth, realizing that she was going to say words to him that she would regret afterwards.
Alex was going to scream at him that he wasn't her real father and that it didn't matter, but Bobby had stopped him.
Damn it, Bobby! Stop reading me like an open book!
