Week 12

Now that the morning sickness was gone, Alex's life was a lot better. She could eat actual meals with her family. She could cook these meals.

"Here" Patti sat at her desk and handed Alex a bottle of water. "You look a little tired."

"Thanks I'm not feeling too well." Alex took a swig of the water. "My board won't stop buzzing. People shouldn't be getting in accidents."

"We can't control them. If we could, we'd be out of a job." Patti said. Alex nodded as she rubbed her belly.

"I'm already showing in this pregnancy." She said. Patti chuckled.

"Barely." She said taking a call. Alex sighed. She could radio Jimmy. DK would probably answer. She could radio Ty. She'd probably get caught and get into trouble. She answered a radio call.

"What's your emergency?...All right, Ma'am, I'll send a police officer over right now." Alex typed quickly into the computer. "55-Charlie, we have a 10-34 at 535 Evergreen Ave. Be careful The man my be armed." Ale sighed.

"Going on break. You want something?" Patti asked.

"You make it January 30th and give me a painless labour." Alex said. Patti chuckled.

"Would if I could." Patti said as she walked away.

"Thanks." Alex muttered. She got back in her chair. Her body was starting to feel very heavy, like she was carrying a ton of bricks. Alex pulled her body up. Maybe walkig around would help. Alex took in a deep breath. A sharp pain pierced through her stomach. Alex cried out loudly as she fell against the wall. "Oh God."

Alex sat down at her desk. The pain was still throbbing her stomach. Something was wrong. She stood up again and clocked out. She looked into the lounge.

"Patti, I'm going home. I'm not feeling too well." Ale said.

"All right. Take care of yourself." Patti said. Ale nodded and walked to her car.

"Okay, baby, I'm just going to drive home and then go take a warm bath. Maybe that will help." Alex whispered as she started up the car. The pain wasn't going away. Why wouldn't it go away? Alex drove out of the parking lot, trying to focus on the road. She couldn't lose this baby. They had tried so very hard to get pregnant this time. This baby was one hundred percent wanted. Nothing bad could happen to it. Alex's vision started to go fuzzy.

"Shit." She cursed swerving to the side of the road. Ale whimpered softly. She pulled out her cell phone and speed dialed her work.

"Hello?" Carlos grabbed the phone.

"Carlos…I need a bus here." Alex said.

"Davis, is that you? Why do you need a bus?" Carlos frowned waving Doc over to him.

"Pains. I c-can't loose the baby." She whispered.

"Okay. Where are you, Alex? Doc and I are on our way." Carlos said.

"In front of Dunkin' Doughnuts on fifth." She whispered.

"All right. We'll be there in five minutes." Carlos hung up the phone, "That was Alex. She's having pains. She's afraid she's loosing the baby."

"Let's go." Doc said.

Ty slowly walked down the street with Sully. It was over ninety degrees. Ty hated wearing his uniform in weather like this.

"I need a pool." Ty said.

"Go buy one." Sully chuckled. "I'm sure Jade will like it."

"Maybe I will, smart ass." Ty shook his head.

"55-Charlie, are you there?" Someone said over the radio.

"This is 55-Charlie." Ty said.

"Is Davis there?"

"It's me. What's up?" Ty asked.

"Alex was brought in to the emergency room." They said. Ty stopped in his tracks.

"Wh-What??" He cried.

"Alex was have abdominal pains and blurred vision. She was brought in. That's all I know."

"Shit." Ty bolted for the car. Sully got in and buckled up.

"She'll be fine, Kid." He said. Ty pealed out of the parking space.

"We can't loose the baby." Ty said.

"You won't." Sully said softly. Ty stared at the road as he sped to the hospital. He quietly said a prayer under his breath.

"I'm coming." Ty whispered as he came to a screech in the parking lot. He jumped out and ran inside. He grabbed Nurse Procter. "Where is she?"

"She's in her room." She said.

"Did she loose the baby?" Ty croaked out. Procter shook her head.

"No. She came close, but she didn't. Her doctor wants her to stay on semi-bed rest for the next couple of months. She almost had a stress induced miscarriage. Alex really needs to relax. I know it's hard with a two year old, but she needs to rest."

"So…she's okay?" Ty asked.

"If you help her keep her stress levels to a minimum, yes." Proctor said. "She's in that room over there."

"Thanks." Ty slowly walked into Alex's room, "Hey baby." Alex looked at him.

"Hey. Sorry for dragging you all the way here." She said.

"You didn't drag me anywhere." Ty said, "I'm glad you're going to be okay."

"Okay? I'm going to be in bed for the next couple of months." Alex frowned, "I can't do that. I need to be up doing stuff. You know me, I'm a kinetic person."

"I know, but they didn't say you had to be in bed twenty four seven." Ty said, "You just need to relax."

"With Jade? I'm not going to be doing much of that." Alex said.

"My mother can come by and help." Ty said.

"We're suppose to be keeping my stress levels down not up."

"She's not that bad." Ty chuckled.

"I know." Alex said, "I'm just glad I didn't loose this baby."

"Me too." He leaned over and kissed her forehead, "You'll be fine. I promise."

Week 16

Alex growled as she tried knitting a baby blanket. She couldn't do it. Maggie and done the first two rows and Alex the next, but it wasn't coming out nice. She shifted in bed. Knitting wasn't for her. Fighting fires were more her style. She sighed and got up.

"Maggie?" She walked down the stairs.

"You up from your nap?" Maggie looked up from the couch.

"I don't need a nap." She said sitting on the couch.

"Alex, you really need to relax." Maggie said.

"What do you think I'm doing?" Alex put her feet up on the table.

"Right." Maggie sighed, "You don't like it that I'm here do you?"

"What? No I love being babysat." Alex said. Maggie sighed.

"Ty wanted me to be here. You need someone to help out around her." Maggie said.

"I have a mother you know Maggie." Alex said.

"Fine. I'll leave." Maggie stood up and walked to the door.

"No. Don't!" Alex said softly, "I'm sorry. I need you. It's my hormones. I'm restless." Maggie turned and smiled at her.

"I know you are." She said, "I'm just here to try to make it easier. You need to relax and not let Jade run you to the ground." Alex smiled at her mother-in-law.

"Jade isn't that horrible." She chuckled.

"Oh yeah?" Maggie sat back down. "When you were in the bath, I was trying to lay her down for her nap and she farted in my face."

"No she didn't!" Alex cried.

"I swear on my life she did." Maggie laughed.

"Oh lord. I'm going to have to have a talk with that girl." Alex said.

"You can talk to her whenever you want. Why don't you go back upstairs and just relax?" Maggie suggested. Alex sighed.

"Fine. I'm doing it just because I know you'll tell Ty." She winked.

Jade crawled on the bed and stared at her sleeping mother. She sighed and pushed up Alex's shirt. Alex stirred slightly. Jade looked at Alex's bump. She put her ear to Alex's belly button.

"Baby, making mommy fat." Jade whispered. "You hear?" Jade nudged Alex's belly again. Alex mumbled softly. "Baby, you hear me? BABY WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!! " Jade screamed. Alex jumped awake.

"What? Huh? Jade, what do you want?" Alex mumbled.

"Baby sleeping." Jade said. Alex sighed.

"Mommy was sleeping." Alex lay back down, "Go downstairs."

"Baby's name?" Jade asked as she crawled up next to Alex.

"Baby doesn't have a name yet." Alex said turning around, "Let mommy sleep."

"I call Baby Carrie." Jade said. Alex smiled a she opened her eyes.

"Carrie. That's a great name." Alex hugged her daughter. "Where did you hear it?"

"TV." Jade said resting her head on Alex.

"I like it." Alex smiled, "If it's a girl, then Carrie is a nice name."

"Hey girls." Ty walked into the room taking his shoes off.

"HI Daddy." Jade smiled. Ty bent down and kissed her nose, "Kiss Carrie."

"Carrie?" Ty looked at Alex.

"She named the baby Carrie." She chuckled.

"Oh I see." Ty leaned down and kissed Alex's stomach, "Hi Carrie." He got in bed next to his girls. Jade cuddled into him.

"This is the life." Alex said softly. Ty nodded as he rubbed Jade's back and Alex's belly at the same time.

"Perfect." He whispered.
