On your marks, Get set, Go! : Baby 1

The next morning after the procedure, Alvina was feeling pretty confident about the challenge so she woke up early and did the normal routine. (Drank her french vanilla coffee and read the Daily Newspaper then head to the local gym.)
The Daily Newspaper reports that founder of Bridgeport Nick Alto will be moving into one of the penthouse suites with wife Vita and daughter Holly. 
Hmm very interesting. -Alvina had thought; she had always wanted to meet the entrepreneur, she read books on his business technique and how he earned his millions.
As she made her way to the changing room of the gym the elevator got jammed.
"C'mon, arghh! I didn't know that when I signed up for this gym I'd be signing up for a workout before my workout."
Nothing like a faceplant after my morning meal - a frustrated Alvina had thought.
After Alvina changed into her athletic wear the owner wanted to take her picture to post on the gym's website for advertisement.
The faster Alvina ran the more she thought of Forrest Gump. If he can do it I can do it! RUN FORREST RUN! -that scene played in her head over and over again.
Alvina began working up a sweat and her heart was pounding at the speed of light. She wanted to be as healthy and in shape as she could be for the challenge.
She worked the hardest on the upper body strength, she knew that carrying around babies all day would be exhausting so whatever preparations she could do before they came that would make her life in the future easier she was going to do.
Tennis Star Serena Williams has nothing on these guns - Alvina was proud of the muscle tone she was getting in her arms.
"Ha ha ha" -Alvina dared Jessica Talon to try to mess with her future family and to see what would happen but in the meantime she was going to shower and visit the Plasma 501.
The benefit of being a 5 star celebrity was getting into the VIP section with no problems.
Alvina headed straight to the bar.
The bartender immediately recognized Alvina from the 100 baby challenge. "I heard so much about you, you're in the newspaper all the time!" -the bartender gushed "That's why I'm here, I'm trying to find a guy to be the dad of the first challenge baby." -Alvina loved being able to spill her sorrows and chat with the nice lady.
"I just wish he'll walk in through the doors and let me get on with the challenge" -Alvina said impatiently. "Hunnie don't we all."-the bartender said sympatheticly.
"This drink is on me" -the bartender said
Alvina drank up to calm her nerves.
And luck would have it, Nick Alto appeared in the flesh and apparently was very star struck by Alvina.
"OMG OMG NICK ALTO!" -Alvina was overly excited to see the founder of Bridgeport.
"Hello Alvina, I heard you were doing the 100 baby challenge and I was curious to know whether you started yet?" -Nick seemed very interested.
"Actually that's why I'm here tonight to find a challenge father, I went through the whole fertility process and now I'm a baby making machine. I heard you were moving here but I didn't expect to ever see you, would you like to be the father of baby number 1 for my challenge?" -Alvina was very anxious to know his response.
"Ofcourse I will, it will be an honor to take part in the challenge." -he seemed genuinely happy.
Alvina and Nick danced while the pianist played. "Let's go outside on the balcony for some privacy." -Alvina gestured towards the door.
"This challenge means so much to me Nick, I'm so happy that your willing to father one of my children." -Alvina said as the duo watched the stars.
Whether it was the majestic sky or the alcohol, Alvina was in the mood to start the deed.
"Let's go back to my place and get started." -Alvina said while she stroked the face of her future child's father.
No sooner after Nick agreed that they stormed out of Plasma 501.
Alvina eagerly pushed the button for the elevator to go down.
"Alvina I have one condition before I start the challenge." Nick said before they got into Alvina's car. "Vita and Holly must not know that I'm fathering your child, our marriage will be on the line and a boat load of money will be at stake." Alvina nodded her head in agreement but wished that her idol didn't have a wife it meant extra baggage for her.
F.Y.I Nick is the worst backseat driver. "ALVINA that was a red light!" -he shrieked and grabbed the handle on the door tight. "You're being a bit dramatic, there were NO cars and besides you're Nick Alto founder of Bridgeport you can get away with a lousy ticket." -Alvina stated
As soon as they got to her place she couldn't wait any longer Alvina wanted to woohoo in the elevator.
The beautiful sound of the lullaby played as they were finished.
Almost caught in the act by the janitor, Nick and Alvina became deer in headlights followed by an awkward dance shuffle with clothing adjustments; luckily the janitor paid no mind and continued to mop the floor. Alvina thanked Nick for his "service" and as they said goodbye she promised to keep him updated on her progress. 
The next morning Alvina was not feeling like herself, the morning sickness was already taking an effect on her.
Ugh I'm feeling nauseous, I need some tums - Alvina thought to herself as she reached for her stomach and leaned forward.
No sooner than that lean Alvina projectile vomited. Ugh go away nausea! -Alvina knew nausea was part of the deal with pregnancy but she dreaded every moment of it.
After a long soothing shower, and teeth brushing Alvina changed into the maternity clothes that she had purchased and headed downstairs to pay the bills. Having a child is expensive but just being pregnant was taking a toll on Alvina's wallet aswell; vitamins for a healthy pregnancy, yoga classes to stay fit while pregnant, ultrasounds and doctor visits, ect.
Alvina ran to the market to pick up her prescriptions and browsed through a parenting magazine. For a boy eat apples -Alvina thought to herself as she read a column about predetermined gender. She immediately walked to the apples and bought one.
"Boy, Boy, Boy...I want a boy!" -Alvina chanted, she really wanted her first born to be a son.
NomNomNom, Alvina devoured the whole apple!
"I think it's about time to pay a visit to Dr. Marcella Ceres" -Alvina said aloud. Dr. Marcella roomed with Dr. Blueflame because they were friends in college and continued to be.
Ugh this backpain is going to be the death of me, I think I need to get a massage at the spa ASAP. -the discomfort of pregnancy was urking Alvina.
"Hello Marcella! I have good news to share! I'm official a 100 Baby Challenge mother! I'm PREGNANT!"-Alvina couldn't contain her excitement.
"I'm so happy for you Alvina!" -Dr. Ceres gasped in excitement.
After the ultrasound Dr. Ceres claimed that the pregnancy was progressing normal and there was nothing to be concerned about. She then gave some exciting news...DRUMROLL PLEASE....
"Congratulations Alvina, you're bearing a beautiful baby boy!"
Words couldn't express the emotion that was felt by Alvina, the gender was what Alvina wanted it to be but nothing beats knowing that everything was running smoothly and that it wasn't a high risk pregnancy.
Alvina was ecstatic with how the pregnancy was progressing normal that she called Nick Alto up to invite him over for dinner and share the utrasound photo of their son.
"My first and only son, Alvina I know you were thankful for me to father your child but I want you to know that I'm more than thankful that you are having my son, it's a dream come true. I know it's not in the deal but I want to contribute with child support, I want our son to have everything his little heart desires." -Nick said in a choked up voice. For the first time Alvina saw the sensative side of Nick and was glad that she was able to see that side of him. 
Dinner was followed by watching the sunset from the balcony of Alvina's loft. "Mommy and Daddy love you forever and ever no matter what." -Alvina softly spoke as Nick rubbed her belly. The lovely evening was interupted when Nick had to go because his wife called, so they said goodbye.

******

Alvina headed to city hall and played her guitar for some tips, she needed the money and she had a second wind of energy and felt like she was sugar high; it must have been the positive day that put her at ease.


"..Hello Daddy, hello Mom
I'm your ch ch ch ch ch cherry bomb
Hello world I'm your wild girl
I'm your ch ch ch ch ch cherry bomb.."

 -Alvina rocked the electric guitar afterall she was the modern day Joan Jett and loved jamming to The Runaways.

"You're playing the guitar while pregnant?! And of all songs.." -Emmy Star said in a rude tone.
"What? Keep your opinions to yourself Emmy!" -Alvina angrily replied
"No, I'm free to my opinion" -Emmy said with a smirk.
"Do you know who you are talking to?!"-Alvina's blood boiled, her hormones added to her rage.
One evil glare and low growl put Emmy in a nervous panic. She then realized that Alvina was immortal and scurried away like a roach.
"Ouchh" -Alvina felt a "minor" contraction that she thought was from the tension a few seconds earlier.
"Alvina! Alvina, you've started the 100 baby challenge? I've been reading all your blogs and I'm a huge fan!" -Holly Alto wanted Alvina's autograph. What a small world  -Alvina thought knowing Holly was Nick's daughter.
In the distance Nick was a worried wreck! He watched Alvina and Holly like a hawk! Alvina knew not to say a word about him being the father of her son but thought it was fascinating that the half sister of her son was a fan of her.
Katrina Pala was in awe "Omg Alvina you sounded just like The Runaways! You're a Mom and a Rockstar! You're my idol can I have your autograph" Alvina knew right then and there that she was going to be famous not just for the 100 Baby Challenge but for her Rockstar status!
"OOWWWWW" -Alvina grasped her stomach tightly and realized she was in labor.
She started to breathe heavier and heavier.
She felt a waterfall explosion travel down her legs. There was no doubt the baby was comming soon. Luckily her limo driver was on duty because he immediatly brought her to the hosptial.
