I've come up with another idea for a A/W fic and I just couldn't wait until 'Healing Process' is finished so I'm going to try to do both! Bear with me readers!

Alex Cahill was sitting at her desk, looking over her latest case, without really reading it. She was going to have to go down to South Texas to the small town of Gems for a witness statement. According to her research the town was barely big enough to be called a town, but she had no choice because she was still trying to prove herself in this law office. Moody decided that going to an unknown town by herself was unacceptable so he was talking to the ranger's captain right now to see if any rangers were available to go with her and Alex couldn't sit still, she was so nervous. She was praying with all her might that it wasn't Cordell Walker.

They had started fighting from the first day they met in court in Alex's first court case with this county and after that they avoided each other like a bad plague. Three weeks ago, however, they met at C.D.'s Bar for a party that C.D. was throwing for them for winning a high profile-case. Thanks to the many drinks they had had already, Walker and Alex soon left the party to end back up at Alex's apartment. Walker didn't say anything to her when they woke up the next day and left immediately. They haven't spoken to each sense.

"Alex? Are you okay?" Moody asked as he walked into her office to see Alex spaced out.

Alex shook her head, trying to clear her head of all the thoughts, "Yes, yes I'm fine. What can I do for you?"

Moody studied her for a minute before answering, "You can go home and get packed. Ranger Walker will be by in one hour to pick you up at your place for the trip to Gems."

Before Alex could protest, Moody was out the door and out of sight. Alex slumped back into her chair feeling nauseous, "this is not happening…"

Sitting there for a few more minutes, Alex decided that she was not going to let this one man affect her work; she was going to do amazing on this case and everyone would see that she did not sleep her way to this position. Smiling to herself with her newfound confidence, Alex grabbed her briefcase and walked out of her office.

"It's just one woman, Nephew. I don't understand why you are getting so upset about getting called out on a case." Uncle Ray stated from his spot on Walker's bed as Walker threw things roughly into his traveling bag.

"It's not just one woman! She pushes my buttons like no other person can and I can't control how I react!" Walker snapped back, zipping up his bag and stomping out of the bedroom.

Uncle Ray sat there for a moment longer, making sure Walker couldn't hear him before commenting, "I wonder if I could still get in on that poll at the office. They're going to be together in no time, I can feel it."

Alex was sitting on her couch, her bag waiting by the door. Walker was supposed to pick her up a hour ago, but Alex wasn't complaining; the less time she had to spend with that man the better. Alex got tired of sitting after a few more minutes and decided she wanted a snack. Heading to the kitchen, Alex was craving some chocolate, so she pulled a candy bar out of the pantry just as the door bell rang. Setting the candy down, Alex headed across the apartment to answer the door. Peaking through the peep hole, Alex saw that it was Walker, so she took a deep breath and opened the door, "Hello."

Walker knew immediately that Alex was trying to be professional and it surprised him that he could tell that right away; he also noticed that in blue jeans and a loose fitting purple blouse, Alex looked stunning. Remembering why he was late, Walker help up the brown bag in his hand, "I brought some lunch so we wouldn't have to eat on the road."

Alex's professional attitude dropped immediately, a smile breaking out on her face, "Sounds good. Do you want to come in?"

Walker nodded and handed her the bag as she stepped out of the way so he could enter the apartment. Alex closed the door behind him before opening the large bag. The smell of chicken came floating out and Alex dropped the bag instantly and rushed to the bathroom, hand over mouth. Walker stood there for a moment, stunned, until he heard Alex puking and he rushed to the bathroom door.

"Alex? Alex? Are you okay?" Walker called through the door.

Walker heard nothing for a moment then the toilet flushed and the sink water started running. Waiting patiently, Walker stood outside the door until Alex came out. Walker studied her pale face and watched as she leaned up against the wall.

"Sorry, I think I'm coming down with the flu." Alex mumbled as her eyes closed on instinct; getting sick always made her feel so tired.

Walker moved closer so he could feel her forehead, "You don't have a fever."

Alex opened her eyes and flushed deeply as she realized how close Walker was standing to her, "I-I'm fine, Walker. Really I am."

Walker resisted laughing at her stuttered as he saw Alex sway from dizziness. Walker didn't know why, but he cared about the blonde woman standing before him and Walker didn't think that was going to change anytime soon. Realizing that Alex was staring up at him with those big blue eyes of hers, Walker told her, "I'm going to call Moody and have him send another ADA. You don't need to be traveling if you're coming down with the flu."

Alex held back a smile as Walker helped her to the couch and went to the phone. She knows that she should protest and still go, but she just didn't feel up to it at all, so Alex let Walker make the call without any complaints. Walker held back a smile as he watched Alex curl up into a ball onto the couch.

"Apparently, I don't need to go either; the male ADA is capable of taking care of himself according to Moody." Walker told Alex, after he hung up the phone, waiting for the anger.

"I'd be extremely mad about that if I wasn't so tired, I'll be mad later." Alex mumbled sleepily, her eyes drifting closed.

Walker gave a quiet chuckle as he watched Alex's breathing even out almost immediately. After watching the sleeping blonde a few moments, Walker grabbed the blanket on the back of the couch and draped it over her. Alex shifted in her sleep before snuggling down into the blanket and Walker smiled. Walker pushed a stray piece of hair of Alex's face before settling down into the chair across from the couch.

'She's beautiful, even when she's sleeping…' Walker thought as she settled down in the chair to watch Alex sleep.

Alex shifted as her eyes slowly fluttered open. Stretching cautiously, Alex realized that not only was the nausea gone, she was actually pretty hungry. Alex sat up with the intentions of making herself some food when she saw the ranger sitting across from her, watching her intently. Walker was waiting for Alex to get sick again.

"If you're waiting for me to do a trick, you're sadly mistaken." Alex snapped after a few more moments of Walker staring; it was starting to get annoying.

Walker chuckled; happy that she was feeling better, "I just wanted to make sure you were feeling better, I didn't mean to annoy you."

'That's so sweet.' Alex thought in her head while she spoke to Walker, "I'm actually feeling a whole lot better, but thank you. Wait, what are you still doing here?"

Walker gave a guilty shrug, "I was worried about you and I didn't want to leave you here all alone when you felt bad."

Alex flashed Walker a bright smile that lit up her entire face. Walker couldn't help but smile back. They just sat there and stared into each other's eyes and Alex felt those butterflies come back into her stomach. Looking down, Alex flushed a deep shade of red. Walker smiled, watching as Alex stood up, without meeting his eyes.

"Oh!" Alex cried out as she stumbled as she walked to the kitchen.

Walker quickly stood up and caught Alex, before she fell to the ground, pulling her close. Alex flushed even darker when she realized how close their faces were. Neither said anything for a while, just enjoyed being that close to each other.

"So…are you feeling better?" Walker asked, clearing his throat after he spoke the words.

Alex didn't trust her voice so she just settled for nodding. Walker didn't say anything as he helped Alex stand, but kept his arms around her, his gaze flickering to her lips. He started leaning his head down and Alex's breath caught in her throat as she realized that he was going to kiss her. Walker paused just above her lips, searching her eyes for any hesitation. Alex impatiently wrapped her arms around Walker's neck and pulled his lips down her meet hers. Walker kissed back with just as much enthusiasm as Alex. Deepening the kiss, Alex pushed Walker back into the chair; following him, without breaking the kiss. Walker had his arms around her just as the phone started ringing. Alex broke the kiss.

"Walker, the phone's ringing." Alex mumbled as Walker started trailing kisses down her neck.

Walker tightened his grip on Alex's waist, "Ignore Alex, they'll leave a message."

Before Alex could protest, Walker's lips were back on hers. Alex quickly forgot about the phone as she started kissing back, until she heard her doctor's voice on the answering machine. Alex broke off the kiss abruptly and climbed off Walker's lap in amazing speed. Walker watched in total confusion as Alex answered the phone in a rush, "Hello? Hello? Yes I'm here!"

Walker sat forward in his chair as he watched Alex's face flicker through emotions as the doctor spoke on the other line. After she hung up with a quiet 'Thank you', Alex just stood there playing with the edge of her shirt, staring anywhere but Walker's face. Walker stood up after a few minutes of silence and made his way over to the silent blonde.

"Alex? What's wrong? What did the doctor want?" Walker asked quietly, trying to meet Alex's eyes.

Alex avoided Walker's eyes as she answered him quietly, "I'm pregnant."

Walker took an automatic step back, "Wha-What?"

Alex was silent for a minute more before finally looking up with tears running down her face. Walker tried to wipe the tears away, but Alex jerked out of his reach, words tumbling out of her mouth, "I'm pregnant Walker! I'm pregnant at 24! And the only person's I've had sex with in the last six months is you!"

Walker stopped trying to reach for her and didn't speak or even move for the longest time. Alex stood still for a couple of minutes before trying to reach for Walker. Walker moved away from her outstretched arms, roughly, grabbing his hat and stormed out the door. Alex flinched when the door slammed. Moving to the couch, Alex curled up in the blanket and let the tears run freely down her face.

I know the ending is sad, but chapter two will be much funnier! And to all the 'Healing Process' readers, I will have chapter three out before I work on chapter two of this one! Review please
