March 18th

Week 28 of pregnancy

The past couple of weeks Alex had really been relaxing. She had cut down her hours at work so she wouldn't get even more stressed out. Her and Jade's health was the most important. Alex shifted in bed as she opened her eyes. Her one-hour nap turned into a three-hour nap. She sat up and looked around the bedroom. She pulled herself out of bed and waddled to the nursery where she heard Ty.

"Ty?" She walked in and broke out in a huge smile. The blue/yellow Star and sun border was all around the room. "It came?" Ty chuckled as Alex ran over to the dozens of boxes.

"Yes everything came." Ty chuckled watching her tear open the boxes. "I decided to put the border up so you didn't have to. You can do the fun stuff"

"Thank you." Alex pulled out the bedspread. "I can't believe it came!" She pulled out the blue and yellow striped dust ruffle and put it on. "This is so exciting. This actually looks like Jade's room now."

"I'll nail the blue moon, yellow sun, and yellow stars up." Ty said.

"I'll get your lucky charms." Alex chuckled putting the blue fitted sheet on. "This is so beautiful. We really picked a beautiful theme out." She held up the white, blue, and yellow patchwork quilt. Alex hugged it before she put it on the crib. Ty chuckled. It was so good to see Alex this happy. He got up onto stepstool and nailed the pale yellow sun to the wall. He glanced back at Alex. She had the bumper on and now she was putting the mobile and decorative pillows on

"Once jade comes we need to take the pillows and blanket out so she isn't smothered." He said. Alex laughed.

"I know the rules for baby's cribs." She said. "It's just for now. It's to show off the room."

"Show off. You're unbelievable." He winked playfully nailing the blue moon.

"I know." She beamed brightly. Within an hour and a half, Jade's nursery was finished. The yellow and blue throw rugs were on the floor. The curtains had been hung. The toys were put in place. The books were put on the shelves. The lamps were placed on the dresser. The few clothes they had were folded and put in the dresser. Ty shined the rocking chair and placed it near the window. They stood in the doorway looking around the room.

"It's done." Ty smiled.

"And it's beautiful." Alex said, "Jade is lucky."

"Not as lucky as me though." He kissed her ear.

"You know Adam hasn't properly met you yet." She said.

"Is that some kind of hint?" Ty asked. Alex giggled slightly.

"Yup. I want him to come here before Jade arrives." She said. Ty nodded.

"Call him up and invited him." He said.

"He'll probably want to bring his boyfriend." Alex said looking at her fiancée. Ty shrugged.

"That's fine. We have room." He said. Alex grinned.

"God I love you." She threw her arms around him.

"I love you too, blue eyes." Ty kissed her nose.

"We need to set a wedding date and get everything started." She said.

"I know." Ty said. "Let's just focus on having Jade first and then we can have a wedding. January 20th, 2004." Alex laughed.

"May 20th, 2004?" She asked, "What's that date for?"

"We'll get married on." Ty chuckled.

"Okay." Alex smiled, "I can work with that."

"Really?" Ty asked with surprise. She nodded.

"The weather is just starting to get nice there. Jade will be almost a year old. It's perfect." Alex said. Ty chuckled.

"I'll mark it on my calendar." He said.

"You better."

Week 30

"Honey, I'm home." Ty called out as he walked in. There was silence, "Alex, are you home?"

"Ty." Alex gasped in the kitchen.

"Alex?" He walked in to see Alex slumped to the floor. "What happened?"

"I think…my water broke." She moaned. She was sitting in a puddle of water. Ty's eyes widened.

"Wh-What?" He gasped, "It's too early."

"I know." She whispered. Ty wrapped his arm around her waist.

"Come on. Let's go to the hospital." He said helping her up, "I won't let anything happen to you." Ty helped her to the door.

"Ty….I need to tell you something." Alex whispered.

"What baby?" He asked looking at her.

"APRIL FOOLS!!!!!!" Alex laughed wildly and danced around the room. Ty stared at her. "You fell for it! You fell for it!"

"That's not fair, Alex." He pouted. Alex giggled.

"This is so great! You should have seen your face." Alex laughed rubbing her stomach. Ty growled and snatched Alex around her waist. She continued to giggle looking at him.

"I'm going to get you back." He said.

"You won't/ I'm the queen of April Fools day." Alex grinned.

"Maybe so, but I'll get you back." Ty said, "It may not be today or next year, but someday I will get you." Alex smiled dancing her fingers down Ty's chest.

"You can get me any time you want." She winked playfully. Ty chuckled.

"Oh yeah?" He grinned, "What has gotten into you today?"

"I'm feeling terrific today." Alex said, "So terrific I want to fuck you." Ty burst out laughing.

"It might be a difficult task for me to maneuver around that big belly of yours." Ty laughed. Alex smacked him.

"That's why I'll be on top." Alex whispered, "I know how you like it when I'm on top, taking control." Ty bit his lip.

"I do. I do." He said stroking her back.

"We haven't made love since conceiving Jade." Alex said, "I want to."

"Are you sure?" Ty asked.

"I want to, Ty." Alex said, "I know you won't hurt me." Ty bit his lip. The last man that had been in his fiancée was her rapist. He wanted to make love to her so badly, but he didn't want her to be frightened.

"We can take this as slow as you want to." He said Alex nodded.

"I plan to." She said taking his hand in hers. "Come on." She pulled him to the stairs. Ty was still a little apprehensive, but he followed her. He wouldn't lie and say he hadn't been dreaming about making love to her for awhile. It's just that he was worried. As the entered the bedroom, Alex turned to him and smiled.

"Let me help you with that shirt." She said. Her hands started to unbutton his shirt. Ty didn't move. He didn't want to scare her. Alex slowly undid his short until he still there with a bare chest in front of her. Alex grinned. She leaned over and kissed his chest gently. Ty sighed softly. She kissed her way along his muscular chest. Her tongue sneaked out and tickled his brown erect nipple. Ty bit his lip to stifle a groan in his throat. There was nothing he could do to stop the tenting in his pants. Alex pulled away with a grin. "Enjoying yourself?"

"Yes." Ty said softly reaching out and tenderly touched her cheek. Alex smiled softly. He leaned over and kissed her. Alex melted against him. There was no denying how much she loved him.

"I want to make love to you." She said unbuckling his pants. Ty nodded slowly and removed his pants. Alex bit her lip and removed her own pants. Standing there naked, They kissed. The kiss was so intense Alex almost lost it right there. They edged their way to the bed. Ty got on the bed and carefully Alex crawled on. It certainly was weird doing this with a large belly.

"I love you, Alex." Ty said as she straddled him. She smiled softly.

"I know you do. I love you too Baby." Alex smiled stroking his chest; "I really do want this. I want to make love to you. I want you to feel me quivering around you." Ty smiled softly.

"Quiver away Baby." he chuckled. Alex reached below her and took hold of his shaft. Ty gasped looking into Alex's eyes. She stroked him slowly. "Christ. Don't tease."

"I like teasing." She said softly stroking him a little faster and harder. Electricity poured through his body. TY groaned gently.

"Alex…" He whispered.

"Ty." Alex smiled positioning herself over him.

"Yes, Alex." He said softly. Slowly, Alex lowered herself onto him. She hissed slightly. It had been so long and she was so tightly. Ty put his hands on her hips as she eased down, "God, baby." He had missed this familiar feeling.

"I love you." She said finally plunging down on him. Both of them groaned loudly. Alex sat still for a moment. She let her body adjust to the feeling of him inside of her. After a minute or two, Alex slowly started to move her hips. Her eyes slipped shut.

Ty's fingers dug into Alex's hips as she moved up and down on his shaft. This felt so good. He had to concentrate on not exploding too early. He wanted Alex to enjoy her first time since her rape. He wanted her to feel safe and happy. She was groaning now. She was clearly happy. Ty arched his hips thrusting into her gently.

"Oh Ty." Alex purred as she started to move faster. Neither of them would last long. They both knew that. It had been too long, but they wanted to make this good. Alex moved on Ty faster and harder. Sweat beaded down her back. Ty's hands started to roam her body, explore every curve. His hands cupped her sensitive breasts and Alex gasped.

"I want you to come for me." Ty whispered thrusting upwards again.

'S-Soon." Alex groaned loudly, arching her back. The sensation coursing through her body was almost too much. She impaled herself onto him once more as her orgasm tore violently through her body. "OH GOD!"

Her muscles clamped roughly down on Ty sending him over the edge. He gripped her hips as he thrusted into her once more. He groaned loudly and shot his seed deep into Alex's quivering body.

"Oh god, Baby." Ty whispered. Alex panted as her hips slowed down.

"Christ." She groaned. Her tongue wet her lips as she placed her hands on her fiancée's chest. She looked down at him with a smile. Ty looked back up at her.

"Are you okay?" He asked gently. He was so afraid she might be regretting getting this close to him. Alex nodded.

"Oh. I'm perfect." She lifted her tired hips up and let his now soft shaft fall out of her. She rolled over and lay on the bed, running her hand over her stomach. "That was utterly amazing." They lay there for a moment catching their breath. Ty reached over and took her hand.

"Jade didn't see any of that right?" He asked. Alex chuckled softly.

"No she didn't and we didn't give her brain damage." She smiled at him; "She's just fine."

"Good." Ty reached down and pulled the blanket up around them. "Are you tired?" Alex laughed gently.

"I am extremely tired." She smiled as she snuggled into him. Jade kicked against Alex's stomach gently. Ty hugged her feeling her stomach press into his.

"I'm still going to get you back for your practical joke earlier." Ty said. Alex laughed.

"You won't succeed, Baby." Alex smiled with tiredness draping her eyelids. Ty grinned.

"I will." He said rubbing her back. "Now go try to get some sleep."

"I am." Alex whispered with a yawn.
