Alex was standing like a statue so stunned in the hospital reception room, sitting right in front of him was a carbon Copy of him when he was a child. Alex was in doubt, this is too real to be true
Alex, I have seen the doctor Let's head to the company to seal the deal, we can't be......
Gabriel (Alex father) words stuck in his mouth as he caught sight of the little boy sitting opposite his son.
After a awhile, Gabriel, Gabriel Thompson spoke up, if I didn't know better I would have said that you travel back in time and came back as a child. Gabriel had his gaze fixed on the child while making his comment
The child noticing how the two older men were staring at him with much love in their eyes was happy. This was the first time he was receiving such stares, most people stared at him with disgust and irritation because he was born out of wedlock. He stood up and approach the older men with a smile on his face, as he greeted them. Alex kneeled to reach the same height with the boy as he asked the boy his name. The boy said that he bears the name Alexander, much to the surprise of Alex and his father. Alex also introduced himself as Alexander and his father Gabriel. The boy was also surprised as he said I am young Alexander and you are the older Alex. While I prefer my name pronunced in full.
Alex was about to ask Alexander of his parents, when a lady in her mid twenties approached young Alex, reminding him of her words to stay clear off stranger, She decided to apologize to they men for any trouble her son might have caused them before leaving
But as soon as she raised her head, she locked eyes with Alex, a wave of confusion flushed over her.
!
She asked herself many questions in her mind, but in all that questions the answer she got was to protect her son, that she subconsciously drag Alexander beside her and cuddled him
At incredible speed, all the memory of that nigt at the dorm came flash through her eyes and the wound left felt fresh. But remembering her son she smiled. Alex spoke up first. Victoria its been long and you haven't cganged a bit. Vicky only replied in short, you also haven't changed .
Gabriel took a sit signalling Alexander to join him which he did.Vicky was about to speak, but Alex beat her to it by saying "I'm sorry ". For??? Were the only words Vicky could reply with. 7 years ago, I left without a goodbye, without explaining things. I'm really sorry. I really wanted to see you before leaving for the city to study, but everything happened so fast
Alex looked at her hand and was glad to have seen no wedding ring, Vicky also saw his gaze and said "I have a son"
You have a son? You mean Alexander??Alex asked still confused. Yes, Alexander is my son Vicky replied. But you are not even marr.... Alex choked on his words as memories of 7 years ago flushed in, connecting the dots Alexander should be 6. Don't tell me that.... Yes he is, Vicky cut him off
But I am keeping him away from you, he is my son, ONLY MINE!!! , Vicky's fierce reply got both Gabriel and Alexander alarmed. Gabriel looking at his wrist watch got Alex attention and he remembered the deal. He got vicky's number and home address, gave Alexander a warm hug and a peck promising to keep in touch before leaving in order to explain everything.
During their ride Alex explained everything in details to his father, leaving no stone unturned, starting from how he met Vicky and the event that took place during their get together party(when the were about graduating from high school)
You mean to tell me that we the Thompson family now have a heir, Gabriel replied excitedly. But... Alex chipped in but was cut short by his father. I had long waited for a day I will see my grandchildren and now I have one you guys think u will let him leave because of some misunderstanding???? Gabriel asked with a serious face
After sealing the deal, Gabriel went to shop for children clothes and toys even cleaning a room for his grandchild while Gabriel was pacing around thinking on how to explain everything to vicky
Early the next day Alex found himself standing at Vicky's doorpost. After knocking twice the door was opened by Alexander who was surprise to see Alex. Good morning Alexander greeted, you can come in. Alex asked why Alexander wasn't in school and it turned out they were on break (holiday)
After the breakfast, Alex had a chance to diagloue with vicky in the absence of Alexander. 7 years ago they were in high school and dating.
A week before their graduation to leave high school, they decided to throw a party. Much drinks to have, they both got tipsy. Waking up, the saw themselves in each others arm, that was when the realize they had made out the previous night. They were dating and didn't think much of it. 2 days after the event Alex no longer attends class and he no longer calls. Vicky was even more alarmed when she discovered she was pregnant on the graduation day which Alex also didn't attend. Vicky's parents refused to accept her after the discovery, so she didn't further her education and had to work to make sure she earns money. For 7 good years she has been struggling to raise a child alone. Alex explained that on that day he disappeared that his mother fell ill and was flown to the city, he was the only relative available to stay by her side because his dad was not in town. My mom died due to the sickness, so dad suggested I school there while he gets my records from my previous school since we are already graduating. I left my phone behind so I couldn't reach out to you. But I sent many letters to you but got no reply. Alex asked for a second chance to right his wrongs, this time he will make it official by marrying her
Vicky concured calling on to Alexander to meet his dad.
That day Alex decided the move to the family mansion. Preparation to meet Vicky parents were made, after receiveing and forgiving their daughter, they gave their blessing to the marriag. Alex decided to asked why she named their son his name, and Vicky replied that she didn't want to ever forget the name of her child's father and first love, that's why she gave him the name.
The marriage took place barely a month after the met. Vicky was glad, her son having a father and her marrying the man she loved, there was nothing else she would have asked for.
