Y/n's P.O.V.
The door is kicked down by Hercules, much to my irritation. Alexander quickly rushes to me and lifts me by my waist, spinning around. I couldn't help but laugh at his large, dorky smile. He gently places me down before smashing his lips onto mine.

"We won..." He whispers into the kiss.

A soft chuckle escapes my lips, "Yeah, I know... I've always believed in you guys, you would never fail me."

"Hey, so... We're kinda tired and need to rest. So like, can you stop eating each other's faces and get over here?" Hercules jabs his finger in the direction of the exhausted Lafayette and thoughtful John.

I raise my brows at John's expression. What could he be thinking about? I turn to the other two and smile warmly, "Come on it, Herc, John, Laf, Eliza should be arriving in an hour or so. Take a seat, I'll be making a dinner for my father, my mother, and the rest of you, including Eliza. So get comfortable, I'll take a while."

Alex's arms wrap around my waist, "Aw, but I want to spend my time with my beautiful wife."

"Alex, I have work to do," I ruffle his hair. I could hear Philip's cries from his bedroom. "Besides, I'm sure someone wants to see you-"

Without warning, Lafayette sprints into Pip's room, ready to beat someone's ass. "WHO ZE FUCK MADE YOU CRY!?"

"L-Lafayette," I chuckle nervously, quickly taking Pip out of his crib, "He's just hungry." Lafayette sigh with relief as John, Hercules, and Alex stared at him dumbfounded.

"Uncle Lafayette is here, Philip," He delicately takes my son out of my hands, proceeding to sit on the couch.

"Go rest, Alex, I'm going to start making food," I stride to the kitchen, taking out all the ingredients I'll need, including a tomato. When John saw it, he gasped hysterically, startling me half to death.

"It's a tomato, do you wanna poison us!?" Alex, Hercules, and Lafayette's heads perk up at John's remark.

I scoff, "Bicth, give me one good reason I would use tomatoes if they were poisons." The room is swallowed by awkward silence.

I sigh and grab the tomato, bringing it to my lips, Hercules gasping horrifiedly, Lafayette and John's jaws dropping, Alexander gulping. I couldn't help but laugh as I bit into it like it's an apple. Three minutes pass and I am healthy and well.

"See? Tomatoes aren't poisons! They're actually quite delicious," I take yet another bite, remaining alive and well.

"Ok then..." John fakes a cough.

Lafayette stares at Pip with an emotionless expression, "What. Just. Happened?"

"Are you ghost!?" Hercules points an accusing finger at my confused figure.

"That was scary," Alexander confirms, the others nodding in agreement. I shake my head and laugh.

"Hey... Y/n... Can I talk to you?" John asks suddenly when the others were distracted. I look down at the stove and back up at John, nodding in worry.

"What's wrong, Johnny Boy?"

"J-just follow me..."

"It's time you explain the truth! I don't get it, you knew I was getting sent to South Carolina before I knew I was going to South Carolina! You'd predicted, not only that we'd win, but that I should 'watch my back because something bad might happen'!? A bullet was shot at me but they missed because I had accidentally dropped your letters. I still have the scar on my back! It's time you give me an explanation, I deserve one!" John folds his arms impatiently. I bite my lip nervously, refusing to meet his eyes.

I've never seen this side of him...

Then again, he deserves an explanation...

I shouldn't have sent that letter!

I should have been more careful!

What do I do?

It's not like I have much of a choice, I have to admit the truth...

My eyes avert to Alexander, smiling playfully at a laughing Philip.

Then again, this could reck my family if Alexander knew...

I sigh, "If I tell you the truth, John, you will swear on your life you won't tell anyone else?"

He seemed tense, "I won't?"

"I-I'm not who you think I am... My name isn't Y/n Washington Hamilton..." John's eyes grow wide as I continue. "My real name is Y/n L/n."

My father wouldn't leave Philip alone, he spent the entire time playing with baby Pip. It was absolutely adorable! Mother tried to get his attention and failed miserably but eventually, she succeeded. Hercules and Lafayette got so drunk, Laf's brother-in-law had to drag him home and Hercules had to be taken home by Eliza and John. When Philip finally fell asleep at about 1 am, I was finally able to get dressed and go to sleep.

I walk into my bedroom, Alexander staring thoughtfully at the ceiling. I raise a brow, "Why aren't you asleep? It's late."

"I was waiting for you," A soft smile plays his lips. I chuckle as I strip from my dress, quickly slipping on a nightgown and lying beside Alexander in bed.

The wind snuck into our room, sending shivers down my spine. Alexander smiles softly, wrapping his arms around me, his head resting in the crook of my neck as he fell asleep.

I wrap a lock of his soft brown hair around my finger, slipping it out and leaving a curl behind. His breath tickles my neck, "I can't believe I'm alive..." I pause for him to continue. "I'm so blessed I have you, Philip, and my life... Years ago, I was dreading the idea of being alive and now... I don't know how I could live without you. You're so smart, beautiful, confident... I'm so lucky to have you, Y/n."

We stare into each other's eyes lovingly.

I peck his lips and my face begins to burn, "I don't know what I would do without you or Philip either, Alexander. If anything were to happen to either of you, I think I might go crazy. I've experienced heartbreak before, with someone who I could never grow to love as much as I love you. You're my everything. I love you so much, dork..."

He blushes like the dork he is, "I love you too..."

I rest my head on his chest, trying to fall into a deep slumber. Is this what love feels like? It's very blissful...

I won't let my true identity get in the middle of this relationship...

I won't let anything get in between our happiness...

"Y/n?" Alexander suddenly speaks. I hum in response, I'm too lazy to look up. "You'll never leave me, right?" I gasp silently, my eyes growing wide.

"Alexander, what kind of question is that I would never leave you!?" I reach up and kiss his cheek before going back to sleep, "But you have to promise to be loyal..."

"Loyal? Why would you think I would cheat on you?" He strokes my soft h/c hair, "When you said you experienced heartbreak... Do you mean someone cheated on you?"

I heave a sigh, "Something like that..."

"Y/n, I'll love you forever," Alexander whispers into my ear, "No one could get between us."

"No one?"

"No one."

I smile, "I love you."

"I love you more~"

I smirk, "That's a lot of love."

"I don't see what's so surprising, considering it's you I'm in love with. God, my mom would have loved you..."

My smile falters, "My sister would have loved you..."

"Wait for what?"

"Uh, my mom really loves you!" I correct myself quickly. There is a silent pause of us staring lovingly into each other's eyes. I suddenly ask, "Alexander... A curious question... If we ever have a girl, can we name her Skye?"

Alexander blushes deeply but wiggles his brows teasingly, "Why not try for a girl right now?"

"No, I'm tired," I shake my head, laughing.

"Skye... I like that name..." Alexander said thoughtfully, "I feel like it would be given to a kind person..." I felt tears welling up in my eyes. He notices this and quickly panics, "Y-Y/n, are you Okay!? Why are you crying!? Who hurt you, they better start praying-"

"Nothing, it's nothing..." I wipe my tears. "I love you, more than you know."

"I love you too."
