Alex's pov;
' damn, did she just faint on me?'. I cursed as I carried her back into her car. A little boy was in the car and I guessed that might be the son.
" What happened to mummy,what did you do to her?". He asked as I dropped her beside him in the backseat.
" Your mother fainted so I'm taking her to the hospital, alright?".
I didn't even wait to hear his reply before I got in the driver's seat and drove to the nearest hospital.She was taken into the ER.
' she has overworked herself. Knitting for 3 days straight. Anyone would have collapsed'. I thought as I waited outside the ER.
" Will mummy be okay?". The boy asked beside me. I didn't even noticed when he followed me in.
" Hm, yeah,of course. She was just exhausted from working too hard".
" Are you my mummy's friend?".
" Yeah, I am".
" I'm mummy's son, Nelson. What about you?".
' so inquisitive'.
" You can call me Alex".
" Nice to meet you Alex". He said stretching his hand out.
" Same here,kid". I took his hand in mine, amused.
The doctor soon came out and I went to meet him.
" She's fine. She's just too exhausted. She had overworked herself not considering her condition. We have put her on IV, she'll be fine once she wakes up".
" Ok doctor. But I never knew she was sick,if I knew she had such a condition, I wouldn't let her do all those work".
" Don't you know your wife is pregnant, how could you be so reckless?".
' No not my, what! Pregnant? How?'.
I was confused, relieved, surprised and mortified all at the same time. I didn't even knew what to think.
" Oh yeah, I mean no. I didn't know she's pregnant".
" Oh,then we should take a test and see how far gone she is. You should also register her for antenatal as soon as possible".
" Ok". I muttered. " Can I go see her now?".
" Sure,just don't disturb her rest".
I went back to Nelson. " Should we go see your mummy?".
" Yes,is she fine now?".
" Un,she is. She's just pregnant, you should be expecting a baby soon". He widened his eyes so dramatically. His eyeballs were almost popping out. Then he smiled widely.
" So cool. I'll have a baby sister".
" It could be a baby brother". I said as I led the way into her ward.
She was sleeping peacefully on her back. Nelson ran to her side and took her hand.
" Mummy, wake up soon. The doctor said you are carrying my baby sister". I chuckled.
We both sat in the room with her until she regained consciousness.
Lexi's pov;
The light was blinding at first. I had to blink a few times before my eyes could adjust to the light.
The smell of drugs made me nauseous, I covered my nose with my hand.
' gosh,what am I doing in the hospital? I remember I went to Alex's place and oh my God, I fainted'.
I sat up quickly,an action which made the room blurry for a second. I saw Nelson sleeping on Alex's lap. Alex's eyes were closed too.
Alex opened his eyes as if he knew I was awake.
" You've woken up". He said as he readjusted Nelson on his lap.
" Yeah. The cardigans...".
" I went to deliver them before coming back here". I was relieved, I didn't want all my hard work to go to waste. I worked so hard to meet the deadline.
Nelson woke up,at the same time,the doctor came in.
" It's good you are awake". He said to me before facing Alex.
" Here's the result. She's about three weeks gone". He said as he handed him an envelope.
" Thank you".
' Who went where? Why are they talking so bizarrely?'.
" You are welcome. Also here are some prescription. It will help when the morning sickness starts".
' Now, I'm successfully confused. Maybe they are talking about someone else after all'.
After the doctor left, Nelson suddenly jumped on me on the bed. He was grinning widely.
" Mummy guess what".
" You know mummy sulks at guessing, what happened?".
" Mummy, you are pregnant. You'll be giving me a baby sister. Mummy, I'm so happy".
I felt my head banged. ' I'm what? How? We only, just once? Could I be pregnant from that?".
Alex gave me the envelope the doctor had gave him. I tore it open quickly. " What! Three weeks". I exclaimed.
I didn't knew whether to be happy or sad. Tears fell from my face, painful tears of joy.
" My Max, Max, he came back to me". I slurred. I was overwhelmed
