Lovely
A/N: I published this a little while back on its own, but it's here now and it's going to stay under a different name. Please ignore if you don't want to read cringe :)
Eliza crawled into bed next to her husband, who was fiddling with his long brown hair. She blew out the candle and placed it onto the table next to the bed. Alexander looked up, startled.
"Alexander are you alright?" She asked him
"Yes dear. I've been working tirelessly for the past weeks and I'm just tired." He replied
Eliza stared down at her hand. "Phillip has been talking about you. He wants to see you again."
Alex looked at his wife and smiled. "I want to see him as well."
"When was the last time you saw him?"
"3 months ago."
"Alexander! You haven't seen him in 3 months?"
"I've been working hard to provide for you two! I don't want to end up on the streets, I don't want us to be living on the streets. I can't. I could never bring myself to see you suffer." He gazed into his wife's beautiful eyes. "Eliza, I love you dearly. I care about you and Phillip more than anything in this world. I want you to be happy."
For a second, Eliza got lost in his eyes. She saw a hue that was a mix of blue and violet. Behind those stunning eyes, was her husband. Her husband, working to put food on the table for her and their son. Her husband, who was now practicing law in New York, meaning that he was never around anymore. Her husband, that she had met back in 1780. Her husband.
She put her hand on his cheek. "Please don't overwork yourself. I can't bring myself to see you in a state like that." She told him softly. He kissed her hand.
"I won't" He promised
She kissed him and then laid her head on her pillow. Their hands were still locked as he fell asleep.
Right when Eliza was about to fall asleep, she felt someone's hand on her shoulder. "What is it Alex?" She whispered.
"Who's Alex?" A soft voice replied
Eliza shot up and looked around in the darkness. She looked down and saw Phillip looking up at her. Eliza sighed and kissed him on his forehead. "What are you doing up honey?" She asked him quietly.
"I had a nightmare" Phillip replied, frowning. Eliza's heart broke. It physically hurt her to see him afraid. "Who is Alex?" He asked again
Alexander sat up. "Did someone say my name?" He looked around.
"Daddy!" Phillip squealed while he ran into his father's arms.
"Hi Phillip" Alexander grinned. "I haven't seen you in so long!"
Alex looked up at Eliza "What is he doing up so late?"
"I had a nightmare daddy" Phillip told his father. Suddenly he bursted into tears. "It was scary! I woke up and wasn't able to find mommy, so I looked for daddy and I couldn't find him either!" He sobbed into Alex's arms.
"Alex, he can sleep with us for now." Eliza told him
Phillip made his way out of his father's arms and plopped himself down in between his parents. Still lightly sobbing, he asked "Who's Alex."
Alexander grinned "I'm Alex" he said while ruffling Phillips curly hair.
"No, you're just daddy." He replied while fiddling with their sheets. Alexander and Eliza started to laugh.
"Oh am I?" He replied smiling "It's time to get you to bed, little one."
Eliza smiled at Alexander and he kissed her on the cheek.
"Your father is right, you need to get to bed Phillip." She told Phillip, gently placing the covers over him.
"I love you mommy." Phillip told her.
"I love you too, Phillip." She told him while stroking his hair.
"I love you daddy." Phillip turned to his father, who was already asleep.
Phillip turned back to his mother and nestled in her arms.
Everything was calm and peaceful, and the Hamilton's were finally together again. Exactly how Eliza wanted it to be.
