A little known fact about the young man known as Alexandros Mossos was that he never panicked during stressful situations. He went to school when it was known that his father’s business deals with a shady corporation went sideways and in turn, so did the security of his family for a few months. When threats escalated, the Mossos-DiVale children were put under heavy guard. They were escorted everywhere by armed guards and were driven to and from home with no stops in between. While Ava was trying not to freak out, Alexandros remained cool and in control. He never let this phase him.
He was only thirteen at the time. Where a normal thirteen-year-old would feel terrified of their new normal, he proved he was every bit the man his father was. Alexandros took it like a champ -- like a man, if you will -- and proved to everyone that, even at that young age, he had what it took to survive the worst moments of his life. No matter what he went through, there was no way he could ever panic. Nothing in this life or the next could affect him. Whether he’s Alexandros Stefano Mossos or someone else when he’s reincarnated, he was equipped with the ten-miles of reinforced steel walls that endured time itself. In other words, he was invincible.
...At least, that was until the young woman who was carrying his child, or at least what Alex feared. He didn't want to think about it, especially after what Johnny said and he shrugged off. The thing about it was, in any worse case scenario he could think of, her being pregnant was at the top of the list. And if she was, he should do what he could to make sure their child didn't die from its mother being unconscious. Nothing mattered now. Not appearing to be the man everyone expected him to be, not what sort of shit status he might have among his friends. The only thing that he was even remotely fixated on was getting her to the hospital stat!
And as soon as the light went green, a red blur zoomed down the streets of Los Angeles. This was where Alexandros’ days of street racing came into play. He wasn’t the best driver, but he won most of his races and his ability to control his Ferrari was outstanding. It was good enough to zip through the lanes, speeding past all of the cars that seemed to have a problem with him disobeying the rules of the road. He had no patience for them nor their opinions. Right now, come hell or high water, Alexandros was gonna do what he could to make it to the hospital.
He turned a sharp right and the hospital came into view. Like an amateur good enough to go pro, Alexandros pulled into the circular parking lot where usually ambulances were supposed to park and did his best to parallel park. Immediately, he was met with hospital security.
“Sir, you can’t park here. This is an ambulance section only!” A tall, muscular man told him.
He rolled his eyes. “I’m aware but as you can see, this isn’t exactly a normal circumstance.” He gestured to unconscious Audrey. “My girlfriend is pregnant -- or I think she’s pregnant. She never got to finish telling me before she passed out.”
“I understand that sir, but you can’t --”
Alex was fed up with waiting. “Do you know who I am? Or a better question, do you know who she is?”
“Sir, I don’t--”
“I’m Alexandros Stefano Mossos, son of Baltazar Mossos and Adrianna DiVale. And this beautiful, if not puffy young woman is Audrey Huntsberg.”
And as soon her name left his lips, the security guard who Alex recognized he was only doing his job, couldn’t say anything. Alex felt bad for exploding on this man, but when the life of his child was potentially in danger, there wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do. If he had to embarrass a poor security guard or two, then he’ll happily do that with little regret.
“This is Jenkins. I got Dr. Huntsberg’s daughter and her boyfriend in front. Yeah, that Dr. Huntsberg. We’re going to need a stretcher.” Jenkins, the security guard in front of Alex said into his earpiece.
A few moments later, two EMTs came out and it wasn’t long until they started to check on Audrey. Worried, Alex was hovering, though he did his best to stay as far back as he could allow himself to. They spent the next five minutes checking on her and then they lifted her onto the stretcher. They locked her in as carefully and started to wheel her away and of course, Alex wasn’t far behind them.
Wherever Audrey went, despite the protests of the EMTs and the nurse who took over her care, Alexandros was going to whatever room she was. His name meant something to the hospital, which is probably why they didn’t enforce their usual rules and Audrey’s health meant something to Alexandros. So he would wait by her side, holding her hand even as the doctors came in to check up on her. He had no idea of knowing what they had to do so she would wake up or if it was on Audrey, but he made sure his face was the first thing she saw when she did.
