Thank you so much for all the reviews and the suggestions! I love them all. Anyways, hope you enjoy this chapter. It's very... Different.
I don't own Hamilton.
Chapter Four
"Theodosia, Theodosia, Theo," Philip whispered to his sleeping wife.
It turned out that Theodosia really was deep asleep. Philip pressed a kiss to her temple. He put his face next to Theodosia's swollen stomach. Philip out a hand next on the place their child was growing. In less than a month, another little Hamilton would be living on this Earth.
"Hey, little Theo junior. You don't know it yet, but I love you more than anything. Well, except maybe your mother, but I love you both so much," Philip told the baby.
Theodosia smiled in her sleep.
Oh, baby when you move I am undone
My child
Look at my child
Pride is not the word I'm looking for
There is so much more inside me now
Ooh, when you come, you'll outshine the morning sun
My child
I'll always be around for you
Theodosia's heart melted at the sweet sight in front of her. Plus she didn't know that her husband could sing like that. The song seemed familiar. Like she's heard it before. Philip kissed her tummy, before getting back into his original position.
"I didn't know you could sing like that," she murmured in Philip's ear.
He tried to hide his shock as he rolled over to face his wife. Philip just grinned and moved Theodosia closer to him. A hand was kept over their baby, as if they had to protect it. Slowly, the couple feel back asleep.
At about dawn, Philip woke up again. Looking at last night, sleep wasn't happening again. But before he got up, Philip bent down to kiss Theodosia's cheek. Instead his lips missed and he kissed her mouth. Flustered, Philip drew back. But Theodosia was awake, again. She pulled him close for a real kiss.

Someone knocked on the door. The couple looked at each other. Again, it was a silent battle to see who would answer the door. Philip surrendered first, but throwing his hands up into the air. The knocking continued. Never stopping.
"Alright! Alright! I'm coming!" Philip yelled, trying to pull a pair of pants over his nightclothes. He ran to the door and opened it. "Hello?"
William was at the door. Alone. Immediately, Philip sensed something was wrong. Eliza never let the little ones alone anywhere. Even if it was just a walk to Philip's and Theodosia's. So early, too. William looked frightened.
"Pops is… dueling," William told him.
Theodosia had made it to the door by that point. She and Philip shared a quick glance, before running outside. Philip began questioning his little brother. The three of them sprinted to theHamilton's.
"So Mama found just now?" Philip wondered. William nodded. "And she's gone after Pops?" Again, he nodded. "Was there anything she told you to do?"
"She just told me to get you," William replied.
"Wait, who is your father dueling?" Theodosia asked, rubbing her belly.
William thought for a moment before answering. "I think she said that he was dueling Mr. Burr."
Theodosia took a few steps back. Before she could fall, Philip caught her. He carried her home, bridal-style. Both of them felt as if they'd been stabbed with ice. Their own father's dueling each other. Either one of them could die. Only history could tell you which one. They would know soon enough.
The two went inside the house, shaking. Philip was afraid that he would drop his wife because of it. A fire was lit from inside. James and Alex were trying to calm down the little ones. William informed them that John was out getting their Aunt Angelica. Annie was about to have a mental breakdown. Philip went to her first. Theodosia watched as he help her close to him, rocking his sister back and forth. Trying to calm her down. Annie never took thesethings lightly. Especially since Philip almost died as a result from a duel. Theodosia herself tried not to have a breakdown. Her father always hated dueling. Why?
Why on Earth would he start now?
Hee, hee, hee. What comes next? ?ﾠYou're gonna havta' WAIT FOR IT!
