twenty-five
"Have you seen John or Y/N anywhere today?", Eliza asked Alexander casually.
The married couple sat in the living room, Eliza watching with a smile as Alex sat on the ground and played with Philip. Alex looked up at his wife with a small frown, thinking, then said "No, I haven't, now that you mention it, where the hell are they?"
"I think John went out earlier today, without Y/N though, so I guess she's still in her room," Angelica said, entering the living room from the kitchen. Her last days here in America had broken, before she would sail to London to live there with her husband. Not that it was approved of by Y/N, as she was worried connections from Angelica could be drawn back to Y/N and that Angelica would have to suffer because of it, somehow.
"Well, I guess I should go check on my sister. Not that something happened to her and we didn't notice," Alex mumbled and picked Philip up from under his arms. Philip giggled as Alex let Philip 'fly' through the air and into the arms of Angelica.
Alex pressed a kiss to Eliza's forehead and smiled at her lovingly, before then heading up the stairs and towards Y/N's room.
When he carefully opened the door and found her still asleep, a grin tugged at the corners of his lips as an idea crept into his head. A very stupid one, but hey, it's not like Y/N could chase him and beat him up for it. And he was, after all, an asshole of a brother sometimes, to put it mildly.
Slowly he crept towards her bed, careful to remain silent, before he yelled "Wake up, sleepyhead!"
Y/N jumped slightly and groaned in annoyance, burying her face deeper in her pillow, probably muttering some curses. Alex grinned, but his eyes went wide and his grin even wider as he noticed someone falling off the other side of the bed and then sitting up.
John glared at Alex tiredly and muttered "What the fuck, man?", while Alex burst out laughing and ran out of the room, sounding like a teenage girl.
In the living room he was met by Angelica and Eliza glancing at him weirdly, while Alex just giggled like a madman.
"What just happened?", Eliza asked with a frown, before they all heard someone yell from upstairs "John will kill you now, Alex!"
Now was the moment that Alex regretted his prank, now that he knew that John had been there too and that Y/N did have someone to fight back for her. His grin slowly dropped and he went a little pale while he stared at the door, just waiting for them to show up.
"Alexander?", Eliza said with a warning tone.
Then Y/N limped into the room, a little faster than what she usually was capable of, and headed straight for Alex, only to be pulled back by John, who came running into the room just a few seconds later.
John wrapped his arms around Y/N's waist and whispered into her ear "Don't worry, baby, I got it. You sit back, relax, and enjoy the show." Y/N smiled a little and whispered back "Make him pay."
John helped Y/N take a seat on the couch next to Eliza, before he then chased Alex without a warning, making the other Hamilton let out a rather unmanly squeal as he began running.
Philip giggled at the scenario, joined by Y/N a moment later. Angelica and Eliza just watched with smiles on their faces, shaking their heads at the guy's childish antic's.
Philip crawled out of Eliza's lap and towards Y/N, who picked him up and cuddled him, giggling along with her nephew.
John, who had caught Alex in a headlock and was giving him a noogie, paused in his actions and looked up at Y/N, the sound of her laughter making his heart beat faster. The way she cuddled with Philip made John smile in adoration.
Alex freed himself from John's grasp and stood straight beside him, also looking over at his sister as she entertained his son a little. Then he turned his gaze to John and smiled a little, as he quietly said "You really love her, don't you?"
John's smile dropped and he blushed a deep crimson red, his head shooting towards Alex. "What? Love her?", he whisper yelled, as if he had just been offended or something close to that.
Alex grinned mischievously as he then said "Of course you do, airhead. I can tell by the way of how you look at her. You, my friend, are clearly, and most obviously, in love. Isn't that right, Eliza?"
John's head shot towards Eliza and he stared at her with wide eyes. Y/N glanced up at Alex and then at Eliza, while Alex then added "John is in love with Y/N, isn't he?"
A blush shot up to coat first Y/N's ears and then to spread to her cheeks, as she turned her attention back to Philip who was trying to climb off her lap and onto the ground.
"Oh he sure is," Eliza said and Angelica tuned up behind Y/N "And Y/N is just as helplessly in love as he is, I might add."
The blush on John's and Y/N's cheeks deepened and neither of them looked at anyone.
"So, you two are either admitting to us that you love each other right now and into the other's face, or you admit that this tonight was just a second one time thing of yours and will never happen again," Alex announced and crossed his arms in front of his chest, raising his brows competitively at Y/N and John.
Y/N set Philip down onto the ground and let him run to his father. Only, to all of their surprise, he ran to John and said "Come with me, uncle!" He held his tiny hands out for John to take, which he did, and then pulled John over to Y/N.
"Now take auntie's hand!", Philip ordered and pulled John's hand towards Y/N. John raised a brow as he grinned at Y/N, then took her hand as Philip had ordered him to.
"Now you two are together!", Philip announced and grinned brightly at the two. Every adult present chuckled at Philip's actions.
"I see mommy and daddy do that a lot so you have to do it now too!", Philip added.
Y/N giggled but yelped in surprise as John suddenly pulled her to her feet and into his arms. Then he asked "Is this okay too, Pip?"
Philip giggled and nodded "This is an exception, but only because auntie can't walk!"
Y/N sighed but chuckled as she looked up at John and whispered "Who allowed this child to be so cute?"
John grinned back at her and replied just as quiet "I don't know, but both of your adorableness combined will be the death of me. I can't imagine how it would be with a child of our own."
"I suppose you would be dead after I would have given birth to it. Seems the most logical reaction from you," Y/N grinned cockily, making John let out a deep chuckle "Oh does it?"
"Yeah, it does," Y/N replied, before John silenced her with a loving kiss.
If only things would stay this perfect for longer.
