Notes: @choicesnovemberchallenge​ Day 22: Unexpected;

This takes place a few months after my fic “Not Yet” and a day or two after “What’s Wrong?”

– – –

“Still not feeling well?” Thomas questioned upon finding Alex curled up in bed. He placed a small bag on the dresser and then sat beside her.  

She shook her head as she rolled toward him, her eyes red and puffy.

Thomas rested his hand on her cheek and wiped away the tears that were still resting there. “What can I do?”

“I don’t know,” Alex admitted, her voice weak. “I don’t even know why I feel like this... I feel miserable.”

“Are you still nauseous?” Thomas asked softly, brushing her hair away. Alex nodded her head slightly. “Still feeling sad for no reason?” 

Again, Alex nodded, her lip quivering slightly. 

Thomas ran his hand along the length of her arm, calming her. “I had a thought.”

Alex looked up at him through tired and somewhat distant eyes.

“Are you…” He moved his hand over her stomach, the corner of his mouth turning up. “Do you think you might be pregnant?”

Tears began forming in her eyes once more. Alex had been disappointed a few months ago when she had thought she was pregnant. She hadn’t even let herself consider that a possibility this time. She couldn’t handle being let down again; not now, not when she was already feeling like this. Alex shrugged. She didn’t want to disappoint him, he had been so happy ever since they decided to try to get pregnant. Even now, she could see the hope in his eyes and it made it worse.

Thomas gently moved a strand of hair behind her ear and wiped her newly formed tears. “I picked up a pregnancy test on my way home… if you want it.”

“And, if I’m not?” she sighed and buried her head in his chest.

His strong arms encircled her bringing her some comfort. “Then, we face whatever is happening together.”

After a few minutes, Alex pulled back from Thomas and tried blinking away the tears. Now that the thought was there, she couldn’t ignore it. She needed to know. She retrieved the bag from the dresser and took it to the bathroom. When she returned she sat beside Thomas and held his hand tightly, waiting for the timer on her phone to let her know when she could look.

Alex breathed deeply as the timer rang. She squeezed Thomas’s hand. “Together?”

“Always,” Thomas kissed her temple as she tipped the test up to see the results. 

Immediately, Thomas scooped her into his arms and kissed her over and over. 

Alex began crying again, but for an entirely different reason. Now her eyes were bright for the first time in days. There was finally a reason for her despair and sickness and it was the most wonderful reason in the world. “We’re going to have a baby.” She breathed between his kisses. 

“Oh, my Alex, my beautiful wife, and now mother of our child, how I love you,” Thomas beamed as he cradled her face. “And you as well, my child.” The flurry of kisses began again, but this time he turned his attention to her stomach.

Let’s Have Dinner

[Red Carpet Diaries Masterlist]  ||  [Hollywood U Masterlist]

Rating: PG

Notes: @choicesnovemberchallenge​ Day 1: Kiss; @rcd-appreciation​ Day 1: Holiday; & @choicesjanuarychallenge2020​ Random Prompt 3: “Be careful”

(How many things can I cover in one short fic?!) – – –

“Be careful!” Thomas warned as Alex scooped a sauteeing shrimp out of the sizzling skillet.

“Hot, hot, hot!!” Alex stammered her tongue burning as she placed the shrimp in her mouth. She hurried quickly to the fridge to get a cold drink. 

“You literally took it out of a pan that was sizzling,” Thomas stated not sure what she expected.

“Yeah, but I blew on it first,” Alex offered with a reluctant shrug. “And in my defense, it smells really amazing in here. How could anyone possibly resist it?”

“That’s not much of a defense,” Thomas interjected. 

“Model, actor, director, writer, now chef and attorney?” Alex teased. “What is all this anyway?”

“Apparently November 1st is ‘National Men Make Dinner Day’,” Thomas explained as he turned his attention back to the numerous pots and pans on the stove and in the oven, checking each dish carefully. “I know how you enjoy your random holidays’ calendar. I couldn’t miss the opportunity to help you properly celebrate such a special day.”

Alex hopped up on the counter near the stove. “How did I get so lucky?”

“Luck had nothing to do with it.” Thomas stirred a pot of sauce on the stove, taking a spoonful out and waiting an appropriate amount of time for it to cool before sampling it. “It was chance that my potential lead chose that club, stood me up, and then on my way out we ran into each other. There are a number of different scenarios that could have transpired. That was just one eventuality.” 

“Luck and chance are kind of two sides of the same coin. It’s how we view them that makes the difference,” Alex smiled thinking back to that first night they went out for drinks. “Luck, chance, fate, fortune, whatever you want to call it… they all brought us here.”

“And there is nowhere else I would rather be than here,” Thomas offered, his lips turning up in the corners, as he added a pinch more seasoning to one of the pots.

“Me too,” Alex smiled momentarily before turning to a pout. “My tongue still hurts… kiss it?”

“You are impossible,” Thomas complained despite already moving in her direction. 

“In the words of the great Audrey Hepburn, ‘nothing is impossible, the word itself says ‘I’m possible’,” Alex wrapped her arms around Thomas’s neck. “Thank you for doing all of this for me. I love you!”

“And, I love you, my beautiful Alex,” Thomas pressed his lips against hers, kissing her tenderly. Alex parted her lips, allowing his tongue in her mouth. She returned the favor kissing him deeply. Her tongue felt much better suddenly. 

Reluctantly, Thomas pulled away after a few minutes. He placed one more quick kiss on Alex’s soft lips before returning to tending to his dinner prep.

“It is three in the morning, darling. Is this a necessary conversation right now?” Thomas grumbled, his eyes barely open.

“This is important! I’ve been waiting a long time for this,” Alex beamed. She held one hand over her stomach and used the other one to shake Thomas awake. “So have you! Get up!!!”

“Fine,” Thomas shifted up on his elbow. “What is so important at three in the morning?”

“Give me your hand,” Alex glowed. 

Thomas sighed and did as requested. 

Alex placed his hand over her stomach and waited.

“Was that?” Thomas stammered. His eyes widening as he moved closer to Alex. 

Alex nodded her smile stretched across her face as tears filled her eyes. 

Thomas leaned up and kissed Alex softly. He wiped away her tears, though more quickly replaced them. “I love you and our children very much!”

“We’re going to be parents,” Alex whispered, her hand still on her stomach. “Somehow it feels more real now.”

Thomas sat up more and guided Alex into his arms. Together they rested their hands on Alex’s stomach and savored every flutter beneath their fingertips as they felt their children move for the very first time.

Cribs: a Baby Hunt drabble

Rating: PG

Notes: @choicesnovemberchallenge Day 4: Rage; @rcd-appreciation Day 4: Lights, @choicesjanuarychallenge2020 (Random prompt: “This is ridiculous”) – – –

“This is ridiculous!!!” Thomas raged throwing his hands up in the air.  “Assembling a crib should not be this difficult!”

“Just think, you get to assemble two of them,” Alex teased, hoping to make him smile. She cradled her stomach in her hands as she relaxed in the comfort of the nursery rocking chair. “We could have someone come to assemble them for us?”

“No,” Thomas breathed holding his head in his hands. “I want to do this.”

“Let me help you at least!” Alex insisted.

“You are not getting out of that chair,” Thomas stated moving toward her. “The doctor told you that you need to take it easy and not exert yourself. You’ve already done enough.”

“I am taking it easy,” Alex complained. “All I did was hang a string of lights and some fabric. I think I can handle a little more.”

“And they look beautiful! Our children are going to be in awe of the twinkling lights.” Thomas rested his hands on top of hers, relishing his family. “You know, if it were up to me, you wouldn’t get out of bed! But I know how stubborn you are, so I will let you help.” He handed her the directions. “Help me figure out what I’m doing wrong? Together, we should be able to figure this out.” 

“Okay,” Alex agreed. “Together.”

Baby Hunt?

* * * The Art of Loving Thomas Hunt Fan Fiction Masterlist * * *

– – –

Characters: Alex (MC), Thomas Hunt, Chris Winters (mentioned)

Setting/Notes: So I lied when I posted before and said that I only had 2 fics for this week. I realized @choicesseptemberchallenge for Day 8 is Baby and I already had this. I was saving it for when I write my Baby Hunt series, but you can have this much now :)

Rating: PG

– – –

“Have you ever thought about having children,” Thomas asked as he held Alex in his arms. 

“I was never the girl who pictured having a big family with kids,” Alex began.

“Oh,” Thomas expressed.

Alex shifted in her position so she could face him. She cupped his cheek with her hand. She let her thumb caress him softly. “Let me finish.” Alex smiled. “Growing up, I never imagined having kids, but I don’t want to miss out on sharing anything with you. I’ve had a lot of time to think and reevaluate our situation. I would be open to having children… with you, if you want to.”

Thomas kissed her lips softly. 

“Is that what you want,” Alex asked.

“I never expected to be a father either, but watching Chris with his kid. I want that. I want that for us,” Thomas pushed a strand of hair behind Alex’s ear. “It doesn’t have to be right away, but, I want us to have a baby, to be a family.”

“I think you’ll be a great father,” Alex admitted. “I don’t know anyone more loving, caring, and protective than you.”

“Nor do I know anyone more generous, kind, witty, and beautiful than you,” Thomas smiled. 

“I just don’t want our kid to grow up with nannies and tutors. I want to be apart of his or her life. I want us to be there for every moment,” Alex acknowledged.

“I feel the same way. I would never ask you to give up a project for me or our family. I thought maybe we could work something out where we alternate projects. That way, whichever of us is not engaged in a film would be there to take care of our child. Plus we would never get stuck filming in different parts of the globe,” Thomas suggested. 

“You’ve really been thinking about this.” Alex’s eyes filled with admiration. 

“If you asked me to give up filmmaking to be with you and any future children, I would. I would always miss my art, but I have never loved anything as much as I love you. I would give up everything for you,” Thomas pressed.

“I would never ask that of you,” Alex smiled. “Alternating projects is the perfect compromise.”

Thomas placed soft kisses on Alex’s forehead, nose, cheek, and finally her lips. Alex could feel him smiling beneath his determined mouth. “I love you, Alex. More than you could ever imagine.”

“I love you too, my Thomas.” Alex wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled his lips back to hers.

Surprise: It’s a...

[Red Carpet Diaries Masterlist]  ||  [Hollywood U Masterlist]

Characters: Alex, Thomas Hunt, Baby Hunt, Addison Sinclair 

Notes: A Baby Hunt Story: Is it a boy or a girl?!  [Day 11- Friendship & Joy –  @playchoicesficidea​] 

Rating: PG

– – –

“What do you mean you aren’t going to find out?!” Addison almost yelled. “You have to!!!”

“I don’t know, Addi,” Alex cradled her stomach. “I kind of like the idea of being surprised.”

“Why would you want to do that? Alex, please don’t do this to me!” Addison begged. “I need to know! I need to make you the best baby clothes in the history of forever!”

“All babies look the same, just make something gender-neutral for now,” Alex suggested. 

“What about the baby shower?” Addison pressed.

“We can keep it neutral as well,” Alex responded.

“What about….” Addison kept thinking. 

“Whatever it is, we can manage without knowing!” Alex insisted.

“Thomas!” Addison demanded. “What do you think?”

“I support Alex with whatever she decides.” Thomas wrapped his arms around Alex. “This is her decision.”

Alex leaned into his arms, “Thank you!”

“UGH!” Addison whined. “I just want to know if I’m having a future niece or nephew! This is killing me!” 

“And yet, I trust you will survive, Addi,” Alex smiled.

****

“Are you sure you’re okay with this?” Thomas questioned, wrapping his arms around Alex, cradling her stomach.

“Yes,” Alex sighed. “Addi was relentless, but honestly, everyone else’s excitement has actually made me want to know too!”

“I hope you know I would have supported your decision either way,” Thomas offered. “You can still change your mind.”

“I do and I appreciate that.” Alex turned into him. “But I know you wanted to know.”

“I like to be prepared and have a plan. I value all knowledge, especially that which concerns our future,” Thomas explained with a smile. “Plus, you know I don’t surprise well.”

“Clearly,” Alex teased. “Since you already know!”

“Like I said,” Thomas shrugged, kissing her softly. “I don’t surprise well. Plus, I am not entirely sure I could have completely trusted such precious information solely to Addison.”

Alex nuzzled her head into Thomas’s neck. “I guess this is it.”

“I love you so very much, my darling,” Thomas rested his head on hers.

“As I love you! Now, time to go find out about our baby! Want to give me a hint?” Alex joked. 

“More than anything,” Thomas admitted, giving her one last kiss before heading to their party. 

***

Alex was not sure she had ever seen so much blue and pink in her entire life. It was like a cotton candy factory blew up in their backyard. The balloons, the streamers, the tables, the place settings, the food, the drinks, the clothing–Alex would not have been surprised to learn Addison designed every single person’s outfit for this moment. Everything was blue and pink. 

“Wow,” Alex stated, upon seeing it all for the first time. “Just… wow! Did you know about this?”

“Definitely not,” Thomas complained. “I outlined a plan for a very understated affair. This is…”

“ALEX!” Addison ran over to her. “And my favorite future niece and/or nephew!”

Thomas gave Addison a darting glance. 

Addison smiled and pulled Alex to the center of the party. “Here you need this.” Addison placed a pink and blue tiara on Alex’s head. 

“Don’t you think this is a bit much?” Alex questioned. 

“Not at all!” Addison dragged Alex around the party showing off all of her hard work. “Do you love it?”

“It’s all quite…” Alex paused for a moment, taking in Addison’s big eyes filled with joy. “Magical. I feel like I could be in a fairytale… though not a very Grimm one.”

“YAY!” Addison cheered. “Okay, let’s go cut the cake! I think you may like what’s inside!”

On the outside, the cake was tiered with layers of blue and pink. Addison offered Alex and Thomas the knife as she excitedly squealed to their side. 

Alex took a deep breath, knowing that this simple act of cutting a cake would change her life. She hadn’t really thought much about what she wanted–a girl or a boy. At that moment, she had finally made up her mind. She closed her eyes cutting into the cake, trying not to get her hopes up. 

A sigh of disappointment escaped Alex’s lips. The cake apparently was not the gender reveal big moment. Pink and blue cake and frosting filled the inside, just as it had the outside. 

Alex took a step back. She may not have wanted to know initially, but every moment that passed was a moment that she wanted to know even more. Around her, her friends let off party poppers which showered them with pink and blue streamers and confetti.

“You guys do understand that these things are supposed to actually reveal the baby’s gender and not just continue playing with both colors,” Alex laughed. “This is actually kind of torture. If your goal was to make sure I want to know, you thoroughly succeeded!”

Addison beamed as she almost bounced up and down. 

Before Alex could ask her what had her so excited, Thomas pulled her in close. His hands were cradling her stomach. 

Alex leaned into him, “So, are you going to tell me? I know I said I didn’t want to know, but I need to know! Is it a boy or a girl?”

Thomas kissed the top of her head. “Both,” he whispered.

“What do you mean both? How can it be both?” Alex stammered. “Unless…”

“You’re having twins!!!!!” Addison screamed. “Sorry Thomas! This was taking way too long. Oh my god, Alex. This has literally been killing me. I’ve already started designing you a whole line of baby clothes. I think you’ll like the outfits.…” 

Alex could barely focus on what Addison was saying. “Twins?”

“Twins,” Thomas whispered in her ear. 

Alex wrapped her arms around Thomas’s neck. 

Thomas pulled her into his chest, holding her and their two children safely in his strong arms. “I hope you’re not disappointed.” 

Alex rested her chin on his shoulder and looked up at him. “How could I ever be disappointed in our family? I’m just a little taken-a-back. That’s all.” Alex moved her hands down to her stomach. “I guess I have to stop calling you ‘little one’. I love you my little two!”

Thomas placed his hands over Alex’s. She had never seen him so happy. Every part of his face glowed.

Their friends cheered around them, especially Aunt Addi who was already so in love with her future niece and nephew.

***Note: I did research how it would be possible for Alex not to know she was having twins, and there definitely are ways but, honestly when I was writing the details, they took away from the story! So, sorry that it’s a little unrealistic, but I always wanted Thomas to be the one to reveal to Alex they were having twins.

Party II

[Red Carpet Diaries Masterlist]  ||  [Hollywood U Masterlist]

– – – Characters: Alex, Thomas Hunt, Ryan Summers Rating: PG Notes: @choicesnovemberchallenge Day 9: Food *Continuation of yesterday’s Party Drabble, but also could be standalone – – –

"Ryan sure knows how to throw a party,” Alex noted, scanning the room. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much food. And these are just appetizers. He’s outdone himself yet again.”

“It might be his most vainglorious effort yet,” Thomas scoffed

“Be nice,” Alex suggested. “Let him have his night.”  

"This is on you, by the way," Thomas insisted. "Prior to you, I could get away with saying no to all of this a number of times before being forced to make an appearance. Now, Ryan feels I must do my due diligence and attend all the events he hosts.”

“But as you’ve previously admitted my company is worth the suffering,” Alex boasted coyly.

“Don’t make me change my mind,” Thomas grumbled, narrowing his eyes on her.

“Unfortunately for you sir, I plan to hold you to that ‘death do us part’ clause in our vows. No going back now,” Alex turned into him. She cupped her arms around his neck, smiling up at him.

Thomas wrapped his hands around her waist and pulled her in for a tender kiss. “You make a very persuasive argument.” 

“Hunt! Alex!” Ryan interrupted their moment clapping his hand on Thomas’s back.

“Ryan,” Thomas stated. 

“What do you think?” Ryan questioned, looking around. “I think this is my crown jewel.”

“It’s quite regal,” Alex admitted.

“Now for the truth, Hunt?” Ryan pressed.

“I wasn’t aware the King was in town,” Thomas complained. “And yet, even he is not this pompous.”

“Unfortunately, he declined the invitation. He’s in the country and had hoped to stop over, but you know Liam, never a dull moment,” Ryan raised his glass and took a drink. “Anyway, Alex, let’s get you some food? Hunt, scotch. The last one’s not a question.”
