Disclaimer: I only own those you do not recognize like the main OC's.
Note: I know everyone is waiting for me to update Change Of Heart, but I am a little stumped on it. If anyone would like to help me with it I'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks again everyone! For names I didn't know I made up. STILL NEED A TITLE! I know I said I wasn't going to do any mixed stories, and this isn't a complete mixed story. Elliott Sadler will only be around for a chapter or two. Then I promise no more…:) Thanks to Rae, Amanda, and Danielle for the reviews. Also Michelle is the name I picked for Dave's stepdaughter. I know Dave lives in Ashburn, VA, or something like that. But in my story he lives in Arlington, VA.
Also I know last chapter I said she was two and a half months pregnant but I'm moving it up to four months pregnant. I don't know when you can tell you're havin twins, but in my story she knows now. Also I don't know when the babies start kicking, but this is all fiction so I can make it whenever because I'm too lazy to look it all up.
Chapter 5Elliott looked at Alexandria after she asked her question.
"Both I guess."
"I told his sister to let him know I'd be by to get my furniture and things I had in the garage. I asked her not to tell him about the baby because it's my place and mine only."
"So who all knows?"
"Kat, you, and me. The only reason why you two know is because of the fact you two rushed me to the hospital after I passed out."
"Well ok let's go. Guys come on."
Alexandria, Elliott, Tony Stewart, Kevin Harvick, Dale Earnhardt Jr, and Martin Truex Jr all got out of the three trucks and while the guys stood by the vehicles, Alexandria walked up to the door to knock on it. She smiled as Katrina answered the door.
"Hey girl…um now might not be the best time."
"What do you mean Kat?"
Before Katrina could say anything, John opened the door further.
"Andy!"
"Hey Cena. I'm guessin the whole crew is here then."
"Have you not checked your voicemail lately Andrea?"
"I got a new cell phone a few days ago…so no I haven't."
"What happened to your other phone Andy?"
"Threw it at the wall when I found out…"
Alexandria realized what she was about to say and stopped herself.
"Found out what Andy?"
"So what's goin on here that would require me to check my voicemail?"
"It's Rayne's birthday barbecue bash today."
"Oh shit! I knew her birthday was tomorrow so I got her a present but it's at my house."
"So what are you doin here with them Andy?"
"I have been in the moving process the last few days. They've been helping. I came here to get my stuff from Dave's garage today. Kat was supposed to tell him I was coming."
"She did."
Katrina, John, and Alexandria turned to see Dave standing there behind Katrina and John. Alexandria noticed he was staring at her stomach.
"John will you take my sister out back so I can talk to Alexandria please?"
"Sure Dave."
John and Katrina looked at Alexandria concerned and then went out to the back yard.
"Why don't you go and tell your friends they can go out back while you and I talk?"
"We didn't mean to intrude. I didn't know about the party. We can come back another time…"
"It's fine Alexandria."
Alexandria slowly nodded and then walked over to where Elliott was standing talking to Junior.
"Hey guys Dave wants to talk to me. He said if you want yall can go out back. It's Rayne's twenty-fifth birthday today so I'm sure there's plenty of beer and barbecue out back."
Elliott put his hands on Alexandria's shoulders and looked at her.
"Sure Andrea?"
"Yeah El. He and I need to talk about you know what."
"Girl we all know you're pregnant already. We might be slow sometimes but we ain't stupid."
"I know Junior. I'm sorry I didn't come out and tell you guys."
"Ah it's ok. Well guys let's go out back."
While the other guys walked ahead and then followed Dave's instructions to his back yard, Elliott held Alexandria back.
"Andrea we'll be outside but if you need us you yell ok?"
"Ok. Thanks El."
Elliott kissed her forehead and headed out to the backyard. Dave motioned for Alexandria to come inside.
"Where do you wanna talk? I'd say the living room, but this needs to be private."
"Dave the way the people here eavesdrop, there isn't really a private place in here."
"True. So what do you want to do?"
"Well we can wait until another time…"
"No."
"Ok. Well if you don't mind doing an hour or so drive…"
"Where would that be?"
"My house."
"You live in Emporia which is like three hours away."
"I moved."
"When?"
"Past few days. That's why I've been with Elliott and the guys. They've been a great help."
"Ok. Let's go. I'll drive."
"Uh Dave…you're probably blocked in."
"Shit you're right."
"Well it must be your lucky day because my Tahoe is the last vehicle in the driveway. Martin drove it."
"Ok should we tell someone?"
"Yeah. The guys will be really worried if they come to check on me, and I'm not here. Stupid fuckers watch me like hawks. I'll go…wait…is my brother here?"
"Seeing how it's his girlfriend's birthday party yeah."
"Shit…"
"He doesn't know does he?"
"Nope. I haven't seen him in a couple of months since he got back from surgery and I wanted you to know first."
"Well I see I'm not the first to know…wait we'll talk about it later. I'll go tell them we're leaving. You just go start your Tahoe."
Alexandria glared at Dave as he ordered her around.
"Don't order me around like I'm some lost dog or some child David."
"Don't act like one then."
Alexandria slapped Dave and watched how his face looked at her in shock and anger. Hell she was shocked she'd done that too.
"I'll meet you at your Tahoe."
With that Dave walked out to his backyard and let everyone know where they were going. When he got out to her Tahoe he noticed she was wiping the tears from her eyes before he got closer. An hour and a half later he pulled into her driveway. Her house wasn't big and it wasn't small. It was a perfect size for a single mother though. 'She wouldn't have to be a single mother if it wasn't for you.'
"Dave are you going to come in?"
"Yeah."
Dave followed her inside and it was then he got a good look at her. She was wearing a white tank top, black shorts, and black flip-flops. Even though she was glowing only the way an expectant mother would, he could tell she was tired and brokenhearted. He knew it was his fault too.
"Want a tour? Or do you wanna go ahead and start the talk?"
"Tour first."
"Ok. Well this is the living room, through that door is the dining room, and there is the kitchen. There is a nice spacious backyard out the French doors over there."
Dave nodded and then followed her upstairs. He noticed that sitting next to the top and bottom of the stair way were gates to block them for when the baby came. She showed him her room and office. He saw a door next to her bedroom door and turned to look at it.
"Nursery?"
"Yeah."
"May I?"
Alexandria nodded and opened the door. He was surprised. He noticed the nursery had two cribs, changing tables, and dressers in it.
"One boy and one girl."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I found out yesterday morning. I'm four months along now so they were able to tell. As far as I knew until yesterday there was only one, but I noticed I was gaining way too much weight for there to only be one. Dr. Carson told me yesterday morning I have two in here."
Dave looked at her standing next to one of the cribs with her hands on her stomach. He watched her frown turn into a smile.
"Dave come here. Give me your hand."
Dave held out his hand only to have it placed on her stomach. He felt the babies kick and couldn't help but smile. The two walked downstairs, Dave helping Alexandria down carefully. They both sat on her couch and began talking. After they got things settled between the two of them, he had a question.
"Have you thought of names yet?"
"Yeah…Elizabeth Rose Bautista and Andrew David Bautista."
"You were going to give them my last name?"
"Yeah. Even though we aren't together anymore you are their father."
Dave pulled Alexandria into his arms as best as he could with her ever-growing stomach.
"Alex?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you think we could try again? I know I made a shit load of mistakes and overreacted…but do you think we could?"
"Dave it wasn't all completely your fault. My hormones were outta wack back then and it was partly my fault too. I yelled at your stepdaughter and overreacted as well. Then I ran when I shouldn't have. But when you told me that what she said was right meaning you never loved me, I knew I couldn't tell you I was pregnant. So I left."
"You were gonna tell me that night?"
"Yeah. I was two months pregnant that night. But because I wasn't having morning sickness I didn't know until we thought I had the flu or something."
"Alex what did Michelle tell you?"
"Your stepdaughter asked me when I was going to wake up and realize you didn't love me. That you only told me that to trick me into playing your game. That you wanted to get back at you because of I fucked up your life with Angie. That's everything she told me."
"Alex none of that was true. You were right when you told her she did whatever she could to get what she wanted. I never realized it until you said all of that. You didn't fuck up my life with Angie. I wasn't playing any games. And as for the not loving you she couldn't have been more wrong. I fell in love with you the moment I met you. I love you Alexandria June Orton."
Alexandria looked at Dave through tear filled eyes.
"Really?"
"Yes. I wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it."
"I love you too Dave. I definitely think we can try again."
After their first kiss as a rejoined couple, Dave drove them back to his house.
"So I was thinking…what if we got a bigger house?"
"Dave are you suggesting we move in together?"
"Yeah what do you think?"
"I think it's too soon. I mean Dave I understand you're gonna want me and the kids around, but we just got back together. I don't think now is the right time."
"You're serious aren't you?"
"Yes I am. You asked what I thought and that's what I think."
"What about what I think and what I want?"
"Well Dave…"
