Alpha Maximus
Alpha Maximus and I approach him, 'Congratulations, Alex,' we say to him.
Alex is speechless, staring down at the sweet little bundle.
'So, is it a boy or a girl?' I ask.
'I’m not sure,’ he laughs. He opens the blanket to check. 'It's a boy! It's a boy!' he says happily.
We’re so happy for him. Then Doctor Matlin walks over to us, 'I'm so sorry, Alex.' he whispers.
'Don't you mean congratulations?' Alex says with confusion.
'Bella is gone, I'm sorry, but she didn't survive the birth,' he says sadly.
