Alex's amber eyes were lost in darkness, black circles decorating them. He was in need for a good shave, his shirt felt too tight around his chest. His thoughts were too complicated to hear them, filled with crying and screams. He had to sleep for weeks, he thought he would die soon or later, his health was going downhills. Jason, was sitting opposite him, his fresh washed blue shirt hugging his light skin. He was looking at Alex in pure sympathy, his fingers interlocked together. Kristen walked into the room letting a small paper cup that was filled with fresh coffee on the wooden office. The smell of the coffee had taken over the room, it was such a good and calm sensation for Alex's nerves. Kristen sat besides Jason, she couldn't stand watching his friend under those circumstances.

" She doesn't shut up, both y/n and me are afraid we will end up insane.. "

Alex sipped a bit from his coffee, his muscles tensing up at the bitter taste.

" Alex, it's a baby, a newborn one. Of course she would cry all the time! "

Jason's lips formed into a small friendly smile, Kristen looked at him with a straight face before turning her attention back to Alex.

" I know, i know.. But why she has to drown my wife's and mine power.. She is killing us both physically and mentally.. "

Alex sighed before sipping more from his coffee, his fingers tapping impatiently on the office in a steady rhyme.

" Alex, you shall be happy, you have become a father! It's excellent! You have your own family! "

Kristen tried cheering him up as he rolled his eyes groaning. Alex wasn't hungry for attention, just for sleep and a comfortable bed.

" I am.. I am surprised and excited as i have a family.. I feel lucky being married to y/n but she can't stand all this. Her boss told her not to go at work till the baby becomes one years old. She's way worse than me, no sleep at all. I feel like she will faint and never wake up again. "

Alex hid his red face in his hands.

" Alex, my man don't say this! "

Jason nearly screamed throwing his hands to the air making him nearly jump off his seat.

" Yeah! Y/n is a strong woman and you are strong, too. It's just for a couple of months you'll see! Alex, look the bright side. She will grow up into a beautiful young lady! "

Kristen smiled as Alex laughing silently saying a quick " true ".

" So, how will you name you, have you decided yet? "

Jason clapped his hands happy as Alex brought his fingers to his chin.

" Mischa, it's a russian name. It means being liked by God. "

Aled cracked a bright smile looking down at his office, his thumb caressing the wood.

" It's a really nice name, it sound very eh.. "Bright". "

Kristen smiled as Jason sighed.

" You should go home Alex, i'll talk to the boss. Spend some time with your wife and your daughter. "

" But- "

" Oh shut up! "

Jason pushed Alex out of his office grinning, Kristen leaning on the door.

" Go home, you are tired. You have the right to be by your wife's side. Now go away Hirsch! "

Kristen breathed out as Alex opened his car's door getting in.

He drove back home, opening slowly the main door. The house was silent for the first time those two weeks. He left his silver keys on the kitchen table before walking into the living room.

Y/n was asleep on the sofa, her hair in a messy tress. Her T-shirt was covered in milk on some spots, even when she was sleeping she seemed worried and alarmed for everything. Her cheeks red but pale. She was snoring a bit pouting in her sleep but she was cute to him. Even like that, she was the moet beautiful woman on earth for him. He leaned down a bit, his lips touched her forehead giving a loving kiss. Her memory of her wearing that white long wedding dress holding a bouquet of red roses still haunts him and he loves it. He started building a memory palace in his mind from the day his gaze met hers. He has already built the foundations and it is slowly filled with "furnitures", different memories. He walked upstairs, being back down in seconds holding a blanket wrapping it around her weak body.

The house filled with crying, screams coming from a baby as her eyes cracked opened.

" Alex, what are you doing here y- "

She tried standning up but he put his hand on hee belly pushing her back to the leather material.

" Sleep, you are tired. I will get it, i will be fine. "

She smiled giving him a gentle kiss, their lips hungry for each other's love. She pulled away stroking his cheek making him smile.

" Go.. Your daughter needs you. "

" I love you, honey. "

" Me too, babe. "

Alex walked upstairs facing the little baby in her pink crib. He smiled hugging her gently, stroking her back slowly.

" Hello to you, too angel-cake. "

He walked around the room holding the baby girl.
