Chapter 6: I'm a Daddy

Dustin's POV

Well I think that took us all by surprise. I mean, I'm confused. I think we all are. Then the man, we don't know the name of and who claimed to be the daddy spoke.

"So you are Jacob, it's nice to finally meet you"

"I thought you said you were the daddy" asks Gabriel with alot of sass.

"I am. I'm Zoey's dad and this young man here, Jacob is the the father of my grandchild as I was told by my daughter" He replies. "the name is Alexei by the way"

"You look too young to be Zoey's dad and too old to had gotten a minor pregnant so we were confused." That's my aunt Vessa speaking.

"yeah I get that alot, it's the Latino gene." he chuckles but none of us were in the mood to laugh. He clears his throat then continues "Had got her mother pregnant when I was 15. I'm 34 years old now and my daughter is 18 years old. That's the only reason I ain't suing." he finishes

"Sue!?" my grandfather exclaims and laughs sarcastically. " I dare you to try Mr Alexei. It would've been fun taking you down. Last I check your daughter consented. We raise no rapists in this family" He states proudly.

"I'm apart of the Saldana family of Mexico, you don't scare me and I'm pretty sure you've heard of us" Alexei states matter of factly.

I had to laugh. My entire family did. Sylar looked confused and Alexei just looked irritated.

"Well Mr Alexei Saldana, allow me to introduce myself. The name's Xander James and that boy right there is Jacob Alexander James II. My grandson." Grandpa says with the biggest smile ever.

Alexei shrink an inch off his about 5"11 height.

"You're Mr X. My sincerest apologies. I was not aware my daughter was with a James." he says cowardly.

"Now you are well aware" uncle Charlie responds.

"Jacob are you coming?" asks Dr Reynolds.

"uhh.. ye-yeah. okay guys I'll be back. Okay? Okay. Good" Jacob answers nervously.

He just found out he's a dad. I expected nothing less.

Jacob and Dr Reynolds walked out.

Zoey's POV

Zavia. That's what I'm gonna name her. She is so precious. I can't believe I have a daughter. I held her in my arms as I breast feed her. She's like 5 and a half pounds and so beautiful.

"Hey" I looked up and was met with light brown eyes with red specks. "Hi" I replied.

"can I hold her"

"yes"

I gave Jacob our baby and all I see is love in his eyes as he stares at her. My heart feels whole yet guilty I kept this a secret.

"Zavia"

"what?"

"her name is Zavia"

"oh, can I give her a middle name?"

"yes"

He held her in his arm while gently swaying. "Zavia Alexandria James" beautiful I thought. The name and the sight.

"Okay, well we're gonna take the baby and keep her for a couple days, just to ensure she is doing okay after the surgery, since she's so young. Mr James your family requested a room and I had assigned myself and a couple of my well and best trained nurses to take care of her. So, no need to worry" Dr Reynolds states.

Then two nurses came in and took the baby. Jacob followed after saying he'll be right back and placed a kiss on my forehead.

Child birth is so beautiful.

Jacob's POV

"She'll be okay here doc. You'll make sure she has 24 hour surveillance. I mean I'm gonna be here every minute of the day but I just wanna make sure my baby is okay doc." I rambled on. Dr Reynolds just stood smiling at me. "She's fine. I can assure you of that much and you are more than welcome to stay in the room with the baby as long as she is here" he replies to my ramble.

"Thank you" I said as he walked out the room.

"I'm a daddy. I'm your daddy. You're my baby. My little princess. princess Zavia, my little girl. Wow, you're so precious" I just kept saying to myself and my baby. She was sleeping.

"You are a daddy and I'm a grandmommy"

"ahhh" i screamed a bit "mommy you startled me. What if I had woke up my baby girl." I say while grabbing my chest and checking to see if my baby had woken up. She hasn't.

"I'm sorry. Didn't mean to frighten you. My baby boy has a baby. Can you believe it. She is so precious. Look at the little bundle of joy." my mom states

" I know. I can't take my eyes off her, I'm afraid if I do, I might just wake up and this is all a dream. I don't want it to be" I said and looked at my mother at that last part.

"Oh honey it's not a dream." she says while hugging me.

"Aren't you mad at me mom or atleast disappointed. I got someone pregnant. I made you a grandmommy." I looked down not able to meet her eye.

"No my sweet teenage man. Honestly, you just won me a million dollars" she says with a laugh.

"what?" now I'm just confused.

"us adults, I mean non-teenage adults, we made a bet on who was gonna bring a baby into the house first. You're grandmother and I bet on you. We'll be taking a weekend to ourselves soon. Don't know where just yet or if we will yet. Wanna make sure the new addition to our family is okay and out of the hospital." Mom says with the biggest smile on her face.

I smirked. "Do I get a cut?"

"No! you got the baby. what more do you want." We both chuckled.

"She's got your hair, and nose and ear." Mom states. "She got my light brown eyes too, without the red specks. I saw them when I held her in Zoeys room. It was brief but I saw them." I told her.

"You're a daddy" she says while smiling at me

"yeah. I'm a daddy" I say smiling at my sleeping princess.

Ashanti's POV

"Hey, we're all ready to go now and waiting. What's taking you so long!" Omari shouts from down stairs.

We are about to head out for dinner. "I'm ready, I'm just getting my purse!" I shout back. "No shouting the both of you" dad shouts.

"But dad you're shouting telling them not to shout" Shaday retorts as I'm descending the stairs. "Ah, You're ready. Let's go." Dad ushers us out the door

Here we go. Family dinner or outings are always interesting. I wonder what's on the menu for drama tonight. I smiled wickedly
