Chapter 1
At three in the morning, the sound of a crying baby echoed through the Walker house, waking the Texas Ranger. "Alex, can you take care of it?" he asked. "Why can't you, Walker?" Alex asked. "I got her last time." Walker replied. "Well, I took got her two times in a row. It's your turn." Alex said. "All right, all right. I'll get her." Walker replied, getting out of bed. Alex fell back asleep as Walker walked to the room across the hall. "Angela, what's wrong, honey?" he asked the crying infant. He sat down in the chair next to the crib and rocked his 3 month old daughter for half an hour before she finally fell asleep. "Good night, my little angel." He whispered as he set his daughter back in the crib. Then he walked back across the hall and got back into bed.
5 hours later, Walker awoke to his favorite smell, mocha coffee. He walked downstairs and saw Alex at the table reading the paper. "Good morning, honey." Walker said. "Morning, Walker. Angela should be waking up in about a half an hour. Your coffee is over on the breakfast bar." Alex replied. "Thanks, honey." Walker said, grabbing the coffee mug. Then the doorbell rang. Alex walked over to the door and opened it to reveal Trivette standing on the porch. "Hey, Trivette! Come on in." Alex said. "Thanks, Alex. How's parenthood?" Trivette asked. "It's wonderful. Angela is still waking us up at night, but other than that, it's wonderful." Alex replied. "May I see her?" Trivette asked. "Sure. She's upstairs, first door on the left." Alex replied. Trivette walked upstairs.
Alex walked back into the kitchen and sat down next to Walker. "Sleep well?" she asked. "Yes, I did. Angela isn't waking us up as often now is she?" Walker replied. "You noticed, too?" Alex asked. "Sure did. She's only waking us up once instead of three times."Walker replied, chuckling. "Remember when she was born?" he asked. "Of course. What were you talking about when you said 'Yes, we know.'?" Alex asked. "Well, when Angela was born, you had to have a C-section and she was in critical condition for awhile. When I was sitting by your bed, I had a dream where I saw her and she was fine. Right when I woke up, you did and then the doctor came in and told us that she was fine." Walker replied. "I see. That makes sense." Alex said.
Meanwhile, Trivette was upstairs with Angela. She was sleeping so peacefully, he didn't stay long. However, right as he was leaving, she woke up, so he picked her up and carried her downstairs where Alex and Walker were sitting at the table. "Look who woke up." Trivette said. "Hey, Trivette! Didn't know you were here." Walker said. "Alex said I could go and see Angela. Right as I was leaving her room, she woke up. Here you go." Trivette replied, handing the baby to Alex. "I better go. It's time for my morning workout." Trivette said and then he exited the house.
