Jesse was sleeping on the couch while Alex was making some waffles, eggs, and bacon as he always did the morning after railing Jesse. He was putting blueberries and chocolate chips in them cause that was Jesse's absolute favorite thing in the world. Alex always did the cooking because Jesse burned literally everything and was never actually taught how to do anything that involved a kitchen, other than clean it.

Meanwhile, outside the door was a very excited emerald eyed girl with jet black hair that was straightened but slightly curled at the ends. Lola Thompson. The richest girl in the city, and one of the most toxic people you will ever meet. She had a huge crush on Jesse and found out where he lived from the agents who worked for her parents and were told to give her whatever she wants. What she didn't know, was that Alex lived with him. She knocked ok the door a few times and opened her mouth to speak, expecting Jesse to open the door.

"Hey Jesse! I was wondering if you-" She stopped dead in her tracks when she saw it was Alex who opened the door. His dark eye glaring at her. She looked past him and saw Jesse sleeping on the couch, and she looked back up to meet Alex's gaze. "Can he hang out later?" She asked. Alex chuckled and leaned against the doorway.

"Even if I asked him, he can't really walk for a while." Lola knew exactly what he meant as the door slammed in her face. She screamed in anger which startled some of the other neighbors. Some of them pulled out their phones and started to record her as she ripped up the card that she was hiding behind her back. She stomped off and everyone that was in her way just stepped aside as they could clearly tell she was upset. Alex burst into laughter as he saw the entire thing from the window.

"Baby, what's so funny?" Alex saw that Jesse had woken up from all the commotion that was happening and grabbed a plate of waffles of the kitchen island, walking over to the couch to give it to his sweet kitten. Jesse perked up when he saw the waffles and made some room for Alex to sit down. Alex sat down and handed the waffles to Jesse just to watch as he practically shoved one of them down his throat.

"Kitten don't choke, I don't want you dead before I even get to propose." Alex said, laughing a little. Jesse's head shot up and looked at Alex, his eyes wider than an anime girls' when they find out something amazing.

"You're gonna propose?" He asked, mouth still filled with waffle pieces. Alex laughed and nodded his head softly. Letting Jesse swallow his food before pulling him onto his chest and wrapping his arms around the smaller male. They just laid there silently, Jesse with the biggest smile on his face, Alex knowing he made his boyfriend really happy.

2 hours later

Both boys had fallen asleep in each others arms, not even noticing the knocking on the door. Jesse finally woke up after the person rang the doorbell, moving Alex's arms off of his back so he can get up to get the door. He looked out the peephole and saw 2 very familiar faces, one was Alex's mom, and the other was his sister. He opened the door to let them in since it was pouring rain outside, and gave them both some water.

"Alexa! I haven't seen you in forever. How are you and Jacob? Minus, everything you told me about." Jesse asked. Alexa unwrapped the little blanket she was holding and looked up at her brother. Jesse looked directly at what was in the blanket then looked at Alex's mom, only for her to nod and hand Jesse the blanket. Inside was the child that Alexa had kept a secret for 3 years, Jesse hugged the child lightly and smiled.

"Boy or girl?" He asked.

"Boy, his name is Nicholas." Alexa replied. Alex's mother soon spoke up after Jesse handed him back.

"She came to me about a month ago when her boyfriend became suspicious of her leaving the house so often without telling him, then coming home pretty late. She had kept him at your aunts house since she was the only one who knew what Jason was doing to her." Jesse hugged his sister tightly before noticing she had started to cry. He sat down before asking what was going on.

"Can you take care of him? I can't afford to feed both of us for much longer, and aunty can't help me for too long. I figured since you're a model and Alex is home most of the time other than his games, you guys could do it." Jesse looked down at the floor, then looked back up at the sleeping male. He knew he had to help his sister, but he also couldn't let something so sudden get in the way of his modeling. It would be a good experience for him to take care of child, especially since it was his nephew, but he had to ask Alex to make sure he was comfortable with a child in the house.

"I'll ask Alex, for now you can stay here for a while." Jesse said reassuringly. He would do anything for his sister, even if it was practically raising a child. He led her to the guest room and gave her some clothes to wear so that she was comfortable, then he went back downstairs to see Alex finally awake and waving good bye to his mom. He walked downstairs as Alex sat down and cuddled onto him.

"Hi baby, I didn't know your sister was staying." He ran his hands through Jesse's hair, placing small kisses on his jaw.

"Yeah um, how would you feel about a kid?" Jesse asked. Alex stopped immediately and pulled away from Jesse.

"You're not secretly a girl and you got pregnant night right?" He asked. Jesse laughed and shook his head. Alex let out a loud phew and put his hands on Jesse's waist. He shrugged in reply to the question, not knowing how to answer. "I mean, with you modeling, me studying law and playing football, I don't know if we have the schedule to be able to take care of the kid." He said.

"Well, I asked cause my sister asked us to take care of her child, since she can't afford to and her boyfriend kicked her out. So we're the child's only option until she has enough money." Alex looked down for a second to think, then sighed and smiled at Jesse.

"I'll call coach, tell him the situation. We'll raise the kid to help out your sister." He said. Jesse screamed with joy and kissed Alex before running upstairs to tell Alexa.
