SO there needs to be a retcon done on the story. I went back and checked the wiki of Modern Family and I found that Alex is in fact January 1997 born based on the graduation dates from junior high and High School. The wiki of modern family had the incorrect information and that has now been corrected. I will be fixing that error in future chapters and rework it in the previous ones as well. Its my mistake for not researching thoroughly, I apologise to you all dear readers. If you guys could leave chapter comments on whenever the discussion of the age gap between Brad and Alex comes up in the story it would help me to rectify the mistake faster.
