Part Eighteen

"I told you Lex. Look at this rag." Isaac said entering their apartment looking around, adding, "Lex. Baby where are you?" "In the kitchen." Alexandra called out. "Eating again huh?" Isaac teased making his way to the kitchen. When he rounded the corner and didn't see her, Isaac assumed she headed to the bathroom off the kitchen and headed that way. "Lex! Are you okay? What's wrong?" Isaac gasped as he rounded the counter noticing her on her hands and knees, her head in a cupboard. "Huh? Ouch!!" Alexandra answered, squealing when she bumped her head before continuing, "Nothing's wrong. I got bored and decided to clean the cupboards." "Alexandra Hanson are you crazy?" Isaac yelled making his way to her, reaching down taking her arm to help her to her feet. "What? Why are you yelling at me?" Alexandra asked totally shocked by his tone and the strong grip on her arm as she pushed his hand away, kneeling then glaring at him. "Time out." Isaac whispered backing away. "Isaac hun what's wrong?" Alexandra asked watching as his expression went from that of concern, to anger, to relief and now he seemed devastated. "Isaac talk to me." Alexandra pleaded breaking the silence. "Babe I'm sorry. Forgive me." Isaac gasped making his way to her side reaching out to her. "You don't need forgiving." Alexandra replied taking his hands, moaning a little as she rose to her feet. "Are you okay?" Isaac asked with so many questions in his eyes. "What is it? Isaac I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?" Alexandra answered with the sweetest smiile before adding in a serious tone, "Umm. Isaac I know you're blonde and all hun but you do know that was a cupboard I had my head in, not the oven, right?" It started with a small chuckle but soon Isaac was laughing loudly, uncontrollably. "What are you laughing about? Oh I forgot, I'm blonde too. Was it the oven after all? Foolish me, no wonder I was having such a hard time." Alexandra shared as the doorbell rang. "I'll get it. You look like you're having too much fun to be bothered." Alexandra said watching Isaac collapse to the floor in laughter. As the doorbell rang again, "I'm coming. I'm coming. Give me a break I'm 7 months pregnant and out to here. How fast do you think I can waddle?" Alexandra called out hearing Isaac laugh even harder. "Hello." Alexandra said opening the door. "Hey Sis. What is he laughing about?" Taylor said kissing her cheek before making his way inside. "Lex you look so happy. Hey baby it's me Aunt Chele." Chele said caressing Alexandra's belly. "Hey Precious it's me, Aunt Jessy." Jessy said stroking Alexandra's belly, adding, "Hey Lex. What's up with hubby?" "I know. I know. Bet you farted on him." Zac suggested kissing her cheek, quickly adding, "Love you anyway Sis even if you farted. Just tell him you're farting for two now." "Man that's a good one Zac. Why didn't you tell me sooner? I've only got a month to go. Just think of all the farting I could have gotten away with. Darn." Alexandra said pouting as she closed the door and followed the others to the kitchen. "I give. What is he trying to say?" Taylor asked as Isaac tried to explain between laughs why he was laughing. "I'm not quite sure. I was cleaning the cupboard when he came home and next thing I know, he's down on the floor laughing his ass off." Alexandra answered feigning concern. "Man you must have farted and not even known it then." Zac teased. "No Zac, that can't be it. I think I would know, I am farting for two now." Alexandra replied seriously, adding, "I wonder what it is?" "Stop Lex." Isaac choked out crawling to her, hugging her leg as the rest began to chuckle. "I adore you." Isaac whispered as he rose to his feet, taking her in his arms, kissing her passionately. "I love you too." Alexndra whispered kissing his cheek then turning to the others asking, "What's up?" "We came to see if you were okay." Taylor answered. "Yep. I'm fine. We're fine." Alexandra replied. "Man you're taking it well this time." Zac shared. "What?" Alexandra asked looking at one then the other getting the definite person she was the only one in the room that didn't know what he was talking about."Man Ike, if you are going to keep things from her you have to tell us. I thought you were headed home to tell her." Zac complained. "I can't believe you didn't tell her." Jessy gasped shaking her head no over and over. "Maybe he didn't get the chance." Chele suggested moving a few feet before pending and picking up the newspaper off the floor, holding it for everyone to see. "Let me see that. Oh this is priceless." Alexandra shared with a giggle as she picked up the phone and dialed. "Hello." the female voice said. "Hey Jenn, it's Lexy. Can I speak to the father of my baby?" Alexandra teased. "Well I never. Oh that's right Brad did not me. Hey baby, it wasn't me!" Jennifer teased back and they both laughed. "Oh that's hilarious. I don't know if you've got the same picture I have, but mine has them cutting Isaac out of the picture but the fools left his hand on my... my... let's just say where my waist used to be area." Alexandra shared and she listened while Jennifer relayed what she'd said to Brad. "Oh just put me on speaker phone. I'm going to do the same thing. Jenn, Brad we're all here and I mean all, Tay and Chele and Zac and Jessy are here too!" Alexandra explained turning on the speaker phone and both sides said their hellos. "Man they caught me trying to remove you from the picture old man." Brad teased. "I see. Well I'm still here and I ain't giving up my spot. You'll have to do better than that." Isaac replied and evryone laughed. "So you want me to act outraged and demand an apology 'Mother Of My Child'?" Brad asked. "No way. Besides you can't lie." Alexandra squealed, before acting distraught, "Sorry Jenn I just can't go on living this lie anymore. I've tried so hard but being pregnant and all... I just can't do it anymore." As she sniffled for effect, "And the Oscar goes to... Alexandra Hanson for'The Mother Of...Who's Child Is It Anyway'." Jennifer interrupted. "Yeah. Lex you won." Jessy squealed clapping as she was joined by the others. "Way to go Lex. Just knew you could do it. Love you Sis." Zac added. "Way to go Sis." Taylor joined in, adding, "You can take off the costume now." "Yeah that PG look is getting a little old. What's it been now, six, seven months with the same look?" Brad teased. "Well you should know. It's yours." Alexandra teased as they all chimed in teasing. "Man I can't believe she's taking it this well this time." Brad shared. "You. I'm watching her cut up about this thinking any minute now she's going to fall apart." Isaac replied. "Oh honey I'm not going to freak over this. We knew it was going to happen, it was a given." Alexandra shared making her way to the refrigerator, adding, "We're hungry." "Me too Sis. They were so sure you'd freak over this, we had to rush over here and I didn't get lunch." Zac pouted heading her way, adding, "What you got?" "Nothig we want. Now I'd be happy with that leftover piece of chicken, but I'm the only one. Isaac your baby is being difficult again." Alexandra pouted as Zac squeezed in beside her to see what was in the frig. "Hmmm. Nothing I want either. Hey booger, you want some pizza?" Zac asked leaning close, patting Alexandra's belly, gasping, "It's alive and wants pizza. Look Jessy." "That's so cool." Jessy sighed stroking Alexandra's belly. "That's cool when in it's my belly huh? Can't wait until it's yours." Alexandra teased. "Me either." Zac exclaimed, rising with a jar of pickles, offering one to Alexandra. "Mmmm" Alexandra squealed. "Zac Hanson get real." Jessy insisted. "I am babe. You want to practice with a pickle." Zac replied passing the jar to her. "Boy I didn't think this is how it happened." Jessy said taking the jar and gazing at it. "Man you two have got some serious problems." Brad shared with a chuckle. "Don't tell them that. At least this way there won't be any more stork deliveries in nine months." Isaac shared. "Stork deliveries? Isaac Hanson we have got to have a talk soon, real soon." Alexandra teased turning towards him. "Watch it there." Taylor exclaimed as she turned right into him. "Hey I'm walking for two I get the right of way." Alexandra insisted. "What? Where'd you get that?" Taylor asked. "I'm pregnant not you so I get the right of way. Everybody knows that." Alexandra insisted. "I guess it makes sense since you take up the whole road by yourself." Taylor teased with a chuckle. "Taylor Hanson that's not nice." Alexandra whispered backing away from him. "Oh come on Lex you know I was teasing." Taylor gasped noticing the hurt look on her face. "Yeah right." Alexandra whispered. "Honest Lex. I'm sorry. Please I didn't mean anything by it." Taylor pleaded as Alexandra continued to back away from him. "It's okay bro. She can't help it. She's been have a tough time with the horomones lately." Isaac explained making his way to her, wrapping her in his arms. "He picked on me." Alexandra pouted. "Yeah I heard. It's okay babe, he didn't mean nothing by it." Isaac shared cuddling her close. "I know but I can't help it." Alexandra whimpered as the tears fell. "Yeah babe, I know. It'll be okay." Isaac whispered stroking her hair, kissing the top of her head before lifting her face, gazing into her eyes, adding, "You look tired sweetheart, maybe you should rest for a few minutes." "Yeah I am." Alexandra agreed, turning and asking, "Zac if I go rest would you get the baby some pizza?" "Of course I will. What's baby want on it? Zac answered. "The number's on the frig Zac. Just tell them you're calling for Alexandra, they'll know." Isaac answered leading Alexandra from the room. "Jenn, Brad you heard that Lex is going to take a nap right? She's hasn't got long to go now." Chele asked. "Yeah we heard. I can't wait until the baby is here." Jennifer replied. "Me either. Make sure you let us know right away." Brad added. "Of course we will Daddy." Jessy teased. "Yeah I'm sure Lex will let you know when labor starts." Zac teased, adding, "Better call and order pizza, Lex is goig to be hungry after her nap." "You guys still doing MTV next week?" Brad asked. "As far as we know. It's all depends on the Mother of your child. You know how that goes." Zac answered. "I'm suppose to head back to Mexico for a retake on a movie but I'd really like to see you guys, especially Lex. I think I'll put them off another week." Brad shared.
