Y/n's POV~

I was sitting reading one of Alex's books out loud to the baby. Waiting for Alex's return since the war has ended a couple of weeks ago.

"To be or to not to be said-" I hear a knock on the door and I set my book down and walk to the door to see John, Alex's good friend in uniform with a solemn look and a piece of paper.

"John, what is the matter? Where's Alex?" He finally looked up to meet my e/c's stare, but at once he stared at my very swollen stomach.

"Y-y/n I'm s-so sorry, A-Alex, was shot while leading battalion out in South Carolina, three days ago." I grasp my stomach.

"B-but, the war ended two weeks ago!"

"I know, but the British battalion nor his had got the news that the war ended."

"OH MY GOD!" I shouted and I ran to the couch and sat quickly and stroked my stomach. This child has no father. Just like Alexander. Oh my God, I'm a widow within the span of a year. What am I going to do!?! I suddenly remembered that I left John at the door. I was about to retrieve him, but he was already tailing behind me.

"Y/n I'm so sorry." He sat down next to me, and placed a comforting hand on my back.

"No! You didn't cause this, nor would you understand how I feel!" I yell, but I start sobbing uncontrollably.

"John, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to come out like that. I'm just-"

"No, no Y/n. You have ever right to feel this was. I'm upset too, I lost my best friend."

"John, it's just. I can't work, I going to have a baby and I just I don't know if I'll manage!" I say as I place my head on John's shoulder.

"Y/n, shh it's okay, I'll help."

"What? You will?!? Thank you so much, but why? You're an unmarried young man, you need to live your life."

"That's not all true, I have wife. I only married her because I got her pregnant and I need to make it right. But after my little girl was born, she wanted nothing to do with me. So I left and came here. I know it's my chance to redeem myself from the mistake I made. I'm going to help you, you are not my wife, and raise this child that isn't mine." I hug him tightly, but I wasn't able to because of my stomach.

"Thank you John. You know Alex always spoke fondly of you."

ONE WEEK LATER~

I look down at my just born son and I look at John as he just entered the room.

"Look Philip! Here's Uncle John." I say as I raise Philip to show him John.

"Is that what you're naming him, Philip?" I look at him.

"Well, Alexander and I talked about what we name our baby. It's was either going to Angelica or Philip, and it was a boy so I'm going to name him Philip."

"Wow he's going to be just like his father."

"Yes he will, he'll blow us all away."
