With the months passing quickly, the soon-to-be-parents had begun preparing for the baby's arrival. Baby-proofing rooms, and working on the nursery.

"How about John for a boy?" Cassandra asked while dipping her brush in the paint. They'd gone for a neutral color to stay faithful to their plan to find out the gender during birth. She paused for a moment to rest a hand on her growing baby bump, smiling as she waited to hear his opinion.

He smiled at Cass when she said that, this time it reached his eyes. A genuine reason to push how he was feeling and be happy again. He loved Cass so much for helping him like that.

"You've got to give us your best kick to let us know." He glanced back a Cass a moment. "Jane?" He didn't feel anything. He looked at Cass to make the next suggestion.

"Well, we will make a note of it on the maybe list then." He nearly decided to write on the nursery wall so he could paint over it later when they had decided.

He caught her fingers and joined her in gently stroking the bump. "Cassidy?" That worked for a boy or a girl and was a little less painful to think of than suggesting Sean but it was obvious to both of them and anyone who knew them where it came from. He wasn't sure he wanted to know what either of them thought of his suggestion but he couldn't bring himself to pull his hand away.

Alex gave a little surprised laugh and looked thrilled at that. It was such a strong kick he wasn’t expecting it. Both of them agreed with him.

"We have to do this with all of them right?" He asked as he took the hint to sit up, leaning in to kiss her. He gently brushed his fingers down her cheek.

"I was worried that they wouldn't tell you, they'd just cover it up. I mean we don't count right?" He laughed but it hurt, he'd hate to just vanish on her, leave her never knowing. "You need to thank Raven though."

He glanced at her. He wasn't sure he should finally tell her what had happened before he'd come home to her.

"I nearly didn't come to you babe."

"I think I very nearly became one of those that just went missing." There was so much attached to that word for him. It wasn't missing. It was dead at the hands of someone as an experiment.

"The army were just going to hand us over after everything we did... We served a purpose and then they were done with us." He stroked her cheek again. He'd never planned to worry her with that information.

"I never wanted you to know that, you know. I never wanted to burden you with that knowledge of how close I came. You shouldn't have to worry about me." He knew she would though. Just like he would worry about her more than himself. Now their baby. All before him.

"It wasn't just me, it was my entire unit..." He blamed himself still for not being able to protect Sean. "So don't. I made it back. To you."

Alex curled around her, doing his best to help her and make it comfortable for them both. Even with the bump.

"I won't miss next time. No one is keeping you from me and my family."

"They'd be fools to make you angry too. You're pretty amazing and scary when you need to be." To protect what she cared about and Alex was just fine with that.

"I love how strong you are."

"We do." He thought they did all the time not just a mission or at home. It crossed over.

"I was a mess at the beginning, you didn't see that I hope."

"But now look at us." He felt proud how far they'd both come growing up.

"I think we might need to invest in a few fire extinguishers for the house." He affectionately grinned as he stroked the bump.

"Yes, they will be the cutest." He could feel so proud about that.

He wouldn't ever let any child he could help... "We'll be there to support them through it all."

"Only if they're as smart and caring as you."

He felt so good right then and he knew that she was the reason behind it. "And we'll get my brother to babysit sometimes, then we know they'll come back and behave with us to avoid going again." He cackled.

"We are going to be in so much trouble!"

He loved his brother really, he did. It was just fun to poke at him sometimes and Scott made it a little too easy himself... But Alex would be quick to stand with his brother when needed.
