Chapter 4

Allison

Bobby paced outside her hospital door. The doctor was doing a quick exam of Alex. Coming out, he smiled at Bobby. "Got her here just in time."

The nurse handed him a gown and mask. Dunning them, he quickly went in. Alex had a cannula, and fetal monitors wires disappeared under the sheets. Her smile waned. "It looks like I'm going to have an alien."

Bobby smiled, running his hand through her hair. "Love you. Even if it is an alien."

Within the hour, Bobby was sitting next to Alex holding their little girl. Both were sleeping peacefully. He had called her family, and anticipated a swarm in a short time. He held his daughter close to his face. "But for now, you're all mine."

His mind drifted back to their decision not to have a baby right away. Alex wanted to move up a grade or two, and he wanted to get comfortable in his position of CSU. Having met their goals, they were eager to bring a new life into the world. He looked down at the bundle in his arms and smiled.

Their biggest argument, since they discovered they were pregnant, was choosing the name. Bobby grinned. Alex was adamant about not having her named Alexandra. She was agreeable to Allison. He brought Allison up to his face and whispered, "Allison Lynne, Ali Lynne."

Alex had been watching him. A tired smile on her lips. "Hey, we agreed on Allison, not Ali."

She held out her arms. Bobby reluctantly placed Ali in her mother's arms. "Don't look so sad, you'll get her back."

Bobby quietly watched Alex and Ali, feeling his eyes getting heavy he nodded off mid rock. Alex smiled at Bobby's reposed figure. She gently moved the baby cap down around Ali's ears. She gazed in her daughter's face, and then looked around the room. She spied the jacket draped over the arm of the couch.

Kissing Ali lightly on the forehead, she whispered, "Let me tell you a story about an amazing, magical jacket."
