Chapter 7: Finally Together
"How do you know my name?" Xavier asked, backing away from me.
"Xavier it's me… Kori," I said, stepping closer to him.
"Kori?" he asked looking me over.
"Yes," I said pulling off his mask and looking into his mysterious red eyes.
"I missed you," I said before he kissed me. I pulled away from him and smiled.
"I want you to see something," I said taking his hand. I lead him over to my car and we drove away to my house.
"This is my house," I said walking in.
"Wow. Do you live alone?" Xavier asked me while looking around.
"No," I said walking down the hall.
"What?!" Xavier yelled.
"Shh, she's sleeping," I said walking up the stairs.
"Wait, a she?! God Kori I didn't know you were like that," Xavier exclaimed, totally getting the wrong picture.
"Quite," I said and then opened a white door. Inside was a big room. A computer was on a desk against the wall with a chair in front of it. There was a window to the right of a dresser, and there in the corner, across from the mirror door closet, was a bed. Xavier walked over to the bed and looked upon his sleeping daughter.
"Xavier this is your daughter, Alexis Xavier Anders," I said, taking his hand smiling. He smiled down at her and reached out to touch her, but stopped and looked at me.
"We need to talk," Xavier said, leading me out of her room and down the stairs.
"What is it?" I asked once we stopped in the kitchen.
"Did you know?" he asked, walking back and forth.
"I don't understand," I said, looking up at him.
"Did you know you were pregnant?" he asked again.
"I still don't understand," I said, trying my best to get what he was asking me.
"Did you know you were pregnant before we split?" he yelled. I didn't answer, so he grabbed my wrist and pulled me close to him so I was looking him in the eyes. My eyes began to water and soon a silent tear slid down my check.
"Did you know?!" he yelled at me again.
"Yes!" I screamed. I was now in tears holding my head in my hands on the floor. He stopped and his face softened.
"Why didn't you tell me?" he asked this time without yelling.
"I was afraid," I answered through chocked breaths.
"Afraid of what?" Xavier asked kneeling down next to me.
"Afraid I wouldn't be able to leave you. If I told you I would have never been able to leave you," I said looking up at him.
"We could have been a family. We could've been happy and not be seeing each other six years later finding out I have a daughter," he said, taking my hands.
"I'm so sorry, I should have told you," I said, looking down.
"I want to spend time with you," Xavier said smiling.
"I don't have work tomorrow," I said. "They still think Alexis is sick," I added, slightly laughing.
"Mommy?" I heard Alexis ask from the hall. She came walking out wearing her red silk pajamas.
"Hey honey. Come here I want you to meet somebody," I said smiling as she walked over rubbing her eyes.
"Alexis do you know who this is?" I asked, sitting her down on my lap facing Xavier.
"A police officer," she said, looking at his gun. Xavier quickly went to my room and came back with no gun.
"No. Do you want to know?" I asked.
"Yes," she said, looking at Xavier closely.
"Alexis Xavier Anders meet Xavier Mark Red," I said.
"Why does he have the same name as my middle name?" she asked looking up at me.
"Alexis this is your father," I said.
"Daddy?" Alexis asked, standing up and walking over to him. Xavier was still before she reached out and touched his face.
"She looks just like me," he said tears in his eyes. He hugged her with tears now running down his face.
"I missed you daddy," Alexis said.
"I missed you too," Xavier said, smiling for ear to ear.
So we were now all happy, Xavier stayed and we were married in a year. I'm going to have a boy, we're naming him Alex. Karen's son John, is about to turn five and Rachel is 6 months pregnant. So everything seemed happy and perfect, but that wasn't the case.
"Kori where the hell are those papers I wanted ten minutes ago?" Richard yelled down the hall.
"It isn't that easy running around when your baby is due in less than one month!" I yelled as I walked in with the papers.
"You're going too slowly," he said while looking through the papers.
"I'm pregnant! I would love to show you how it feels to run around for a…," I was about to say dumb ass when my phone rang.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Hi. Are you Alexis's mother?" a lady asked.
"Yes this is her. What is it?" I asked, walking to my office next door to Richard.
"Well she was playing with Audrey when Jacob came over and started picking on her," she said. (This is the principle. I couldn't think of a name for her so she is now called the lady.)
"Ok… continue," I said, sitting down in my chair.
"Well she got mad and a red orb flew out of her hand and hit him," the lady said.
"What?!" I yelled, shooting from my seat.
"I'm trying to sound as logic as possible, but it looked like something Starfire did. Starbolts as the papers called them," she said before i fainted and fell to the ground.
"Hello?" she asked.
"Well I guess she's coming," the lady said before she hung up.
Yes I know this chapter wasn't that long. I'm sorry that it wasn't that long, but it has to end like this. So what do you all think is up with Alexis? And why red??? Please review!!
