Six months later

Alex POV

It started just like a regular Sunday, me and Jack cuddling, occasionally one standing up and trying out a new guitar riff or going for a wee. But suddenly, Jack asked me a question that would change everything.

“Alex, we need to talk… About children stuff.”

I choked on my breath but composed myself quickly. “So you mean like if I want to adopt children?” I asked.

“Yeah these things. I really want children as far as I am concerned… how about you?” he replied, looking at me with puppy eyes.

I smirked at his facial expression, it was just too adorable. But now back to his question.
Yeah I wanted kids, I was sure of that, but I was just too scared I would be a horrible father or that it all would be too much for me to handle and I would fuck up the kids and myself.

But I really wanted children… Think of their tiny little toes and fingers… And later, the sparkles in their eyes when they first went to school, seeing them love for the first time, seeing them grow up and help whenever they needed it.

In that moment I understood I was ready. I felt it inside my heart, and I had never thought it would be possible, but my heart grew bigger so it could host more love. Love for my future children.

“Yes Jack, I want children. I really do, and I will do my best, even though I am a little scared,” I finally answered. I knew what I had said was true, and I could see excitement light up Jack’s eyes.

“I am so happy Alex! Like, you know, really happy, children are all I ever wanted… How many do you want?” he was practically bouncing with excitement now.

“Um… I thought one to start and at all maybe two? Maximum of three?” I said, hoping he would approve.

“Alex you are so perfect! If we weren’t already married, I’d ask you now,” he said, a wide grin brightening up his face.

Three days later, we were at the adoption agency. A grey haired, strict-looking woman put down our data, and questioned us. When we were finally done, she brought us to a young girl, maybe as old as Jack and me, who was supposed to lead us through the orphanage.

We started at the floor for the bigger kids, and I was not really impressed by anyone, as was Jack, so we moved on to the toddler’s floor. Again, no success.

When we entered the baby floor, I saw her. I was taken aback by how perfect she was, her blue eyes already showing traces of brown, her hair thick and brown. I was like in a trance, holding out my hand to her. She squeaked happily and got hold of it, her tiny fingers clutching my index finger. I smiled at her and made some baby-appropriate noises, which caused her to break out in a wide, toothless grin.

I was completely smitten, and when I looked back at Jack, he was just as impressed as I was. He slowly held out his hand too, and she let go of mine to take his calloused fingertips into her little mouth.

After some more minutes of being caught up in her fantastic charming skills, I broke away and nudged Jack.

“I… um… well we are both thinking this is her… our daughter.” I said, breaking out into a huge grin. Jack was hugging me from the side, and the girl smiled too.

“Alright, we will note it down. You can come in two days and get her, but if you want to come tomorrow to see her, you are welcome to do so. Please make sure you have an appropriate seat for her in your car and enough warm things as well as other baby materials like diapers, a baby bottle, a pacifier if you want, and maybe some CDs with lullabies.”

I couldn’t help but let out a small snort. “We got the lullaby part. Thank you so much for your help!” I said, and spontaneously hugged her. She hugged me back, and I could see that she wanted to say something.

“What is it? Anything else you want to say?” I asked, already having an idea what the answer would be.

“Um… well you are Alex and Jack from All Time Low, right? Could I maybe take a pic of you two and if it is not too much of an effort, maybe get an autograph?” She bit her lip, suddenly not so professional anymore, shy even.

I smiled. Of course we would do the things she had asked for. She got her picture of her and us and autographs from us both. Then we left.

When she was out of view, we started screaming and squealing like little kids. I hugged Jack so hard I was sure I bruised one of his ribs and we jumped up and down, not caring about anything. I dipped him low and kissed him like in the movies.

It was time to go shopping for children’s accessories.
