Alex's POV
It's been a week since my big fight with Mason. I've been trying to avoid him, and I shouldn't be. We have two kids and another on the way; we have to think of them too. Today was Madison and Justin's wedding! We are so excited. Kenzie is the flower girl and Noah and Caleb are the ring bearers. Zoey and I are the maid of honors. The bride's maid dresses are sky blue that comes just above our knees with a tie around the side.
Kenzie's dress was similar, sky blue with a tie to the side, but came to just below her knees. All the men wore tuxes with sky blue ties, which was very fashionable. Max was the best man and Mason a grooms men. "You ready?" I asked Madison coming over to where she was finishing her hair
"Yeah." She said smoothing out her dress. "Are you sure you can watch Isis, I mean you have a lot going on and we can take a honeymoon some other time."
"Maddy, its fine. I need a distraction and this is a perfect one." I told her
"Okay." She took a deep breath and Zoey joined us
We walked to the doors as the music for the brides maids and grooms men began to play, it was first Max and Zoey's time to go. Now Mine and Masons. I looped arms with Mason and we began our walk. I put on my best smile to hide my discomfort, I love Mason I really do, but this is not the man I married something's changed in him. I don't like whatever has happened to us.
The ceremony flew by then came the reception. I was on baby watch, I had to keep an eye on Joey, Noah, Caleb, Isis, and Kenzie, we were in a room near the reception, but they we bored and tired so I was allowing them to have a time-out from adults. I sat in the rocking chair with Joey, his eyelids were heavy, but he was fighting sleep. I started to hum a gentle tune.
I could feel the tears streaming down my cheeks; it was the tune Mason used to sing to Kenzie when she'd cry. Joey by now had fallen asleep, along with the rest of them. I laid Joey in the portable crib where Noah and Caleb were. Then I moved Isis and Kenzie onto the little mattress I had set up.
I looked at the sleeping angles around me I slowly brought my hand to my still flat stomach. I walked to the window with my right hand still over my stomach as if to protect my unborn baby from all the hate out here. I stared into the clouds and started to cry. Those cries became sobs.
I heard someone at the door, but I refused to turn around fearing it was Mason and he would start, yet another fight. "Alex?" it was Justin
I turned to face him tears still coming. "Justin…" I cried then fell into his open arms and continued to cry until I had no tears left "What…What if we can't fix this?" I asked
"You will. I know you will, because your Alex you always were the one who ruined everything and then you became the one with all the answers and all the ways to fix everything." He told me
"I miss us…" I told him referring to me and Mason
"I know you do Alex. Everything is going to be okay in the end it always is…" he said leaving the room
I sat back down in the rocking chair and felt myself drift to sleep.
Flashback Dream
I was just minding my own business, painting in art class when he came up to me. "Sorry, I think you dropped this." He spoke in the cutest British accent that could make a girl fall weak at the knees
"No that's not mine." I told him staring at the paint brush
He shrugged his shoulders "Yeah, I know. I needed an excuse to come and talk to you." He told me
I looked into his eyes as he held the paintbrush out for me. I reached for it and touched his hand. My mind was spinning I felt sparks flying as our hands stayed on that paintbrush. I came back to reality and grabbed the paint brush and pulled away.
"It's quite lovely…" he paused "What you're working on there." He covered
I giggled to myself. "So, ummm…New British Guy how close are the countries British and England?" I asked
Looking at me funny he answered "They're the same country, kind of, it's Britain not British."
I laughed. "I know, I just think it's hilarious when people explain ridiculous thing." I laughed
He also laughed. He had a cute laugh, being all British and stuff. Mr. Larrytate rang his cowbell to which I said "Speaking of ridiculous things…"
Mr. Larrytate announced that it was time for the art off and chose the two who were to compete.
"Art off is stupid," I told him "Just because Mr. Larrytate picks a painting doesn't mean it's good. I mean look at him he picks those clothes."
"He doesn't pick those, his mum lays them out for him." He whispered
I looked at him "Ahhh, I like you New British Guy," I smiled at him "You're on my team." I nodded
He put his hand out in front of him "My names Mason Greybeck." I shook his hand
"Mason Greybeck…That sounds like the name of a game show host. Like, Mason Greybeck, I'll 'Bridges' for a thousand please." I laughed
He chuckled and picked up a newspaper clipping. "Your question is…I think you're cute, what do you think of me?" he asked into the microphone-paintbrush
I stared at him for a while then made a buzzer sound. "We're out of time." We both laughed
After the art off was finished and the bell rang. "You know since I got here last Thursday, I've noticed he talks like a cowboy. Oh, and he likes cats." Mason chuckled
I quickly corrected him "Mmmm in America we call them kitty cats."
"Ok, Kitty cats." He corrected
I laughed "I made you say Kitty cats." He laughed with me
He started to walk away, but then turned back to me. "How would you feel about maybe going for some tea later?" He asked "Then you can make me say all kinds of things that make you laugh."
My smile was a mile wide. "Okay, but if 'go for tea' doesn't mean a date, then I'm going to be really embarrassed. And that whole accent thing, girls see right through it." I told him then mumbled "No they don't." he laughed
I opened my eyes and found myself in…my room? I sat up and looked around the darkness. How did I get here? I thought to myself. I slowly got up and walked to the door and opened it making my way to the living room. The lights were all on and I could hear soft mumble of the television. I walked into the living room to find Mason dozing off during a cooking show. "Mason." I came behind the couch and nudged him
"Hmmm." He mumbled and opened his eyes "Alex? Why are you up?"
"When did we get home?" I questioned
"You fell asleep, so I brought you home and put you in bed then Max brought the kids home." He told me more awake
I walked around to the other side of the couch and sat down. "Mason…" I sighed "I know we are having problems, but…" I could feel the tears "But I love you. I don't want to give up on us…" I started to cry "I'm sorry."
"Alex, I love you. I know I've been acting different lately and it's my fault. I've had a lot on my mind, and with the new baby coming I guess I'm scared." He told me and for the first time I saw the old Mason in his eyes
"Why? We have two wonderful children, why is a third such a big deal?" I questioned
"You know I have an older brother. Well I also have…had a younger brother. It's a curse in my family that the third child will…get sick or hurt and…die." He told me
"Honey, that's not going to happen, this baby is going to be the most loved in our family. We will love him or her like there's no tomorrow." I leaned over and kissed him "I love you Mason. Come on lets go to bed." I took his hand and led him up the stairs
Justin's POV
I'm married! I'm married to the love of my life, and we are headed to Hawaii for our honeymoon, 2 weeks in tropical paradise. "Justin?" I turned to Madison
"Yeah?" I asked
"What if I'm not a good mother, or wife?" she questioned me gently stroking her slightly rounded abdomen.
"Look at Isis. For almost 2 years she didn't have a mother not one that wanted her anyway, then you came into our lives she's a different child now. A mother's love changes everything. And as for a good wife, we've lived together and acted like we were married for the past 2 ½ years, and you're the best wife ever." I leaned over and kissed her on the lips
"I love you…" she whispered
"I love you too." I told her
She laid her head on my shoulder and closed her eyes. I leaned over and put mine on top of her head. I was drifty to sleep when the plane started to shake. Madison jerked up and grabbed my arm. I felt the plan lean forward way to much as if to nosedive and…
