Chapter 202

"The grandparents are waiting outside, they'd probably want to see you." Ryan said seeing how exhausted his wife was but also knowing that they ae worried about her and Asher as much as he was. Alex didn't say anything she just nodded her head allowing her husband to go call them.

"Bring Phoebe and Luca with you as well." Alex said when Ryan got up and walked towards the door as he nodded his head. In the waiting room everyone she was looking for was sitting there, Phoebe eating a chocolate on Joey's lap. Everyone looked up when they saw him approach.

"Alex is awake. She wants to see all of you." Ryan informed looking at them and they got up but Luca remained seated. Their faces wasn't exactly joyful for a family who just had a newborn baby. "You too Luca." Ryan said when he didn't join the rest of the gang and the older man refused to go back to the room without his brother in law.

"Maammaa!" Phoebe smiled when she saw her mom.

"Hey bub." Alex smiled trying to get comfortable as Joey handed her over to her mother.

"Be careful Phoebe-girl." He warned gently knowing that Alex just had major abdominal surgery and may be in some pain.

"Cho-lat mama?" She offered pointing the bar of chocolate in her mother's direction, but Alex shook her head not having any appetite.

"No thank you bub, I'm not hungry." Alex answered running a hand through Phoebe's curls. Momentarily distracted by their circumstances , as the grandparents hugged Alex and asked her about her well being, not wanting to ask anything about Asher. "Hey there brother bear." Alex said looking at Luca who was standing in the corner not wanting to be part of this moment. "You are allowed to come greet me." Alex said smiling lightly and he walked over to her hugging her awkwardly.

"How are you feeling?" Luca asked looking at his sister and she nodded. "I'm okay." She smiled slightly.

Everyone made small talk and avoided the subject of Asher. After the doctor came inside to check up on her he said they have to leave and allow the patient to get some rest, but all Alex wanted was too see her child. After some bargaining the doctor finally gave in and ordered the porter to get a wheelchair while Ryan pushed her down the corridors towards the NICU. She was surprised to see the little babies and wondered where hers was amongst the few that were there, and when Ryan stopped in front of the incubator that read baby Booth her eyes sprung too tears. Too much wires plastered on this little body, with a monitor beeping in the background that he was hooked onto. "Hey little guy." Alex whispered softly putting a shaky hand on the incubator. "You have to continue fighting. And I 'll make you fight for me I'll buy you the biggest bike in the toy store." Alex said smiling hearing Ryan chuckle behind her.

"Why do bad things always happen to us?" She asked him without looking up.

"Maybe because the wordl knows that somehow we always overcome them and come out stronger on the other side. A few months from now, he will be creating even more chaos that Phoebe did when she smeared your lipstick and lotion all over the bathroom floor." Ryan reminded her of the things his daughter ended up doing when they left her alone for a little too long.

"I'd give anything to see him do that, instead of him lying here." She said looking at her son. "I love you Asher Logan Booth." She whispered leaning against the side of the incubator almost as if it was a sentence she only wanted him to hear. And she could swore she saw his eyes blink, and within a few seconds they opened revealing the same matching blue eyes like his father's.
