"I believed chris over Miz. Not Mike. There is a big difference. Chris would've already been sent packing if Mike was here right now."

"Im not letting him come out. You have him so fucked up he wants to let this cancer eat us alive." Miz rolled his eyes.

"Well Miz is an asshole." Alex said honestly. "I can't stand him. I want Mike."

"Too damn bad." Miz paused. "Im going to Critter's if your precious Crissy is going to say here with you."

"Fine. I doubt Critter will want Miz either." Alex shrugged. "You can come back in Chris."

"Okay, lets see when your cancerous husband ever steps a foot back into this house." Miz went to go pack Mike's things, they were gone.

Alex shook his head. He'd call Critter in an hour or two and ask if Mike was back yet. But now, he knew this was the only way to handle Miz.

He packed up almost all of Mike's things, he was serious. Mike was probably not coming back to this house. He called Critter to come get him and he did, soon they were going and an hour or so later Mike was back but he wouldn't go home and he wouldn't do anything but lay in bed and stare at the ceiling.

Alex sighed and sat on the couch. Chris eyed him for a moment before sitting beside him. Every minute or so edging an inch closer.
"Is he always like that?" He asked softly.
"Like what?"
"Like... well no offence but an asshole?"
Alex sighed.
"He can be a handful sometimes. And he has a temper. But I love him. And I'm not perfect either.
"He doesn't deserve you Alex. I saw how he just treated you. It's not your fault you had a dream about me. Even your subconscious knows that we're meant for each other."
Chris had the charm on full blast, looking deep into Alex's eyes. Alex couldn't deny that the husky voice with which Chris was speaking made him want to melt.
But he wasn't stupid. He knew where this was leading.
"Chris... knock it the fuck off." He breathed.
"Knock what off? Telling you how much better I am for you than Mike? Alex deep down you know it. I don't cry constantly. I don't make a big deal out of nothing. And if I found out you had a wet dream about another man I'd just screw you myself to get those thoughts out of your mind. Alex those kids up there...." He pointed to their room. "They could be mine. You could be Alex McGuire. We could do so much together. We're like two puzzle pieces. We just fit together. You have to see that."
"I don't see shit Chris." Alex snarled, heart pounding.
Chris smiled, he knew he was getting somewhere.
He combed his fingers through Alex's hair. With one more smirk, he leaned in and kissed him.
Alex's eyes filled with rage. It was easier than he'd been expecting to throw Chris off of him. He pushed him back with so much force that he flew backwards off of the couch.
"Get the fuck out of my house Chris." Alex growled ominously. "I'm married! I have two, soon to be three children! Get out!"
Chris considered refusing but he'd never seen this much anger in Alex's eyes.
He scrambled backwards out the door. Alex gave a small grunt in triumph and sat back down on the couch with a sigh.

Critter cursed as he almost hit another car in his hast to get to the hospital. Critter dialed Alex as Mike was in the passenger seat, screaming and squalling in pain as it was time to have the baby. "Please pick up." He breathing to the phone as it rand.

Alex picked up the phone. The caller ID said it was Critter.
"Hello? Critter why are you calling?"

"Your husband, waits until he is at my house to go into labor! My daughters in the back seat and we are going to the hospital and you need to be there to."

Alex's eyes widened.
"I'm on my way." He didn't wait for a goodbye before hanging up the phone. He grabbed his jacket.
"Alex! Sydney! I'll be back later!" He shouted as he ran out the door and drove over the speed limit to the hospital.

Mike was being put on a stretcher so he could be taken into a C- section by the time Alex got there.

Alex ran into the room and stood by Critter's side.
"What'd I miss? Anything happened yet?"

"No, they are just going to take him in so they can give him a C-section. Critter told him as his daughter stared at Alex and then her father. "Daddy, why was uncle Mikey scwaming?"
Critter paused. "Because he is hurting,"
"Why?"
Critter turned his head to her. "Why do you hurt?"
"Cause I got a boo-boo."
She held up her finger and Critter kissed it.
"Does uncle Mikey have a boo-boo?"
"Yeah, baby...I think he does."
"Where?"
Critter smiled, "You know what? You ask to many questions." He kissed his daughters cheek as they waited for Mike.

Alex nodded, smiling slightly at the little girl.
"She's adorable."

"She is a handful." He paused. "Do you want to hold her." The small child looked at Alex with a grin.

"Sure." Alex smiled, opening his arms.

She jumped over into Alex's arms. "She how he is? He is trying give me away." She stuck her tongue out at her father.

Alex laughed, gently tickling the little girl.
"I wouldn't mind taking ya." HE smiled.

She giggled and whispered in his ear. "I think daddy might be opposed to that idea." She smiled. "Alex, are you uncle Mikey's......" She couldn't remember how Mike had said that. It took a moment before she light up. "Reason for living." She nodded at each word, proud she remembered.

Alex gave the child a small smile.
"That's what he says."

She giggled. "Uncle Mikey says alot of things about you she smiled. "I like it better when your around, he is always happier than when your away."

"What sort of things does Uncle Mikey say about me?" Alex smiled curiously.
