Hellbound With You (WN)

"Don't bother him." Zeke told Kai and Kai just sighed again. He thought for a moment that Zeke would leave but to his surprise he did not. Zeke just sat there with them quietly and Kai knew his presence there was making Alex somehow feel a little more at ease.

Meanwhile, the red-haired sidekick of Zeke could hardly believe his eyes. He had never thought he would ever see the great and invincible Alexander looking this vulnerable, and so damned human in his emotions. And he also could not help but steal sideway glances at his master from time to time, the cold hearted Ezekiel. Lucas wondered if one day, he would ever see Ezekiel in this almost unbelievable state as how Alexander is behaving right now. Somehow, he shook his head, unable to imagine it. Lucas could only imagine Zeke sitting exactly with the same pose and with the exact same expression he has on his face right now and a helpless sigh escaped from his mouth.

…

When a nurse finally stepped out of the delivery room, Alex immediately jumped up from his seat. His heart was beating so ferociously.

With a brilliant smile, the nurse congratulated him heartily on the successful delivery of his child and Alex drew in a sharp breath of relief.

"Can I see my wife now?" he asked, his voice shaky and utterly emotional. When the nurse nodded, Alex did not waste another moment and zipped into the room as though he had totally forgotten about everything else.

Everyone who was watching him at that moment understood him and could not help but smile in relief. They, except Zeke, had all been worried this entire time that Alexander would actually have a mental breakdown or something. They had been so suffocated with his intense aura the entire time.

"Guess the gender of his child, Zeke." Kai playfully asked.

"I hope it's a girl." Zeke replied.

"Oh, I thought you'd like a boy."

"A boy would definitely be more troublesome. You know the humans have a saying, 'like father like son'." A tiny smirk flitted past his lips so quickly that Kai missed it.

Hearing that saying, Kai could not help but chuckle. Looking at Zeke, it was obvious that the man was already trying to figure out or envision the future or what sort of troubles Abi and Alex's child will bring to the world if the baby turns out to be a son. "So, you think a baby girl is less troublesome because of the humans' saying, 'like mother like daughter'? Now I can't help but want to root for a boy." He teased and Zeke just glanced at him sideways.

"How about you? Your wife's not pregnant yet?" Zeke's statement suddenly caught Kai unawares.

Kai was suddenly silenced, and he rubbed the back of his neck, looking a little conflicted. "Not yet, but we'll get there soon." He said then lifted his brow at Zeke. "How about you? When will you get married?"

Even Lucas who was quiet all this time had his ear twitching in anticipation as he waited excitedly for Zeke's response.

But to their dismay, Zeke just stood up calmly from his seat. "We're leaving now." He said as he signalled Lucas.

"Hey, won't you at least take a look at Alex's child?!" Kai was shocked at the thought that Zeke would just up and leave before giving his congratulations to the new parents and having a glimpse of the child. Did he not already wait the whole time here with Alex? Why not just wait a little while longer?

"Tell Alex I will drop by tomorrow, before I leave the country."

And they were gone, just like that. Kai was left standing there alone, sighing again.

…

Inside the room, Alex had finally calmed down. He had been holding Abi's hand, kissing her fingers and her sweaty forehead as he looked at her, eyes brimming with love. It was obvious that if not for the worry he has now of hurting her, she would long be in his embrace since the moment he entered the room.

But now that the nurses have brought their babies in their bassinets, Alex stilled. Just like the doctor told them before, Abi gave birth to twins and now that he was looking at the two babies, Alex could not help but feel panic welling up within him as it threatened to overwhelm him. He thought he had prepared himself enough throughout Abi's pregnancy, but now that he was actually seeing the little ones with his very own two eyes, he could barely move. He was a father now!!

"Okay, here you go," Kelly brought the baby girl to him, and nervousness immediately carved itself into his face. Even Abi could not help but let out a slight laugh at the sight of Alex's panic filled face.

"It's okay, Alex." Abi told him and Alex looked at her. Their baby boy was already in her arms, nursing at her breast.

Kelly instructed him on how to carry the baby and then she slowly placed the cute baby girl in his arms. The little bundle of joy looked so tiny in his large arms.

Alex's heart was racing again. His eyes were now gleaming with so much happiness. In fact, he could not quite explain how he felt now. He could not even speak. All he could do was to look at his wife and both of them smiled at each other with so much happiness shining in their eyes.

…

Meanwhile, in the Black Forest, Alicia and Lilith were celebrating. They saw Abi's babies in the crystal balls and Alicia immediately had the urge to go and visit her friend's cute babies. She wanted to see them very badly, but she knew she could not go there yet. However, she planned to visit the babies very soon.

For now, she needed to go and speak with Zeres about something important. She had not seen him for months now because the last time she had gone over to visit him, Zeres had sent her away.

Zeres had told her that he suspects that Zeke could actually see her. And that was why Alicia refrained from visiting Zeres. Now that she saw Ezekiel was not with Zeres, she decided that it was now the best chance for her to speak with him about this new information she had found out about Ezekiel before he returned.
