Week 36

A New Year and so much to look forward to. Mainly the birth of their second daughter. Alex was looking forward to returning to work. Jade was really excited to become an older sister.

Ty sat in the diner sipping his coffee. He and Sully were taking a break. Okay, so they had really only just begun to work, but they needed coffee. It was too cold out there.

"Four weeks." Sully said. Ty shot him an evil look.

"Don't remind me," He said. "Alex has been moaning a lot more than usual lately, but I guess she has every right to."

"Yeah, don't question that." Sully snickered as he took a bit of his doughnut, "I like you man. I don't want to see you die."

"Thanks." Ty chuckled. He glanced around and smiled at a family that was sitting on the other side of the diner. A mother, a father, two daughters, and two sons. It was very sweet.

"Is it hot in here?" Sully asked grabbing a napkin and dabbing his forehead. Ty shook his head and looked at his partner.

"Are you okay? You're really pale." Ty frowned.

"I don't feel too well." He said loosening his collar.

"I'll get you some water." Ty got up. Sully groaned.

"Call an ambulance." Sully said grabbing at his chest, "I think I'm having a heart attack." Ty's eyes widened.

"Just breath." Ty grabbed his radio, "This is 55-Charlie, we need a rig at Samson's Diner. Sully is having a heart attack."

"God, I can't breathe." Sully groaned. Ty dug into his pocket.

"I know, Man." He said pulling out his aspirin, "Take one of these."

"Don't kill me." He groaned. Ty smiled.

"I'll try not to." He said. Ty held Sully's hand as he finally heard the sirens of the rig that stopped in front of the dinner. Soon, Doc and Carlos ran in.

"I think he's having a heart attack." Ty let go of Sully's hand. He watched them as they loaded Sully up. "Is he going to be all right?"

"Let us get him to the hospital." Carlos said as they backed out of the dinner. Everyone was watching them carefully. There was nothing like a heart attack to make a complete breakfast.

"I'm coming in with you." Ty said. Sully looked at his partner and smiled weakly as they all got into the rig.

"I didn't mean to interrupt breakfast." He said softly. Ty chuckled and patted his arm.

"You didn't interrupt anything, buddy."

Ty paced back and forth. No one had come to tell him how Sully was. He didn't look that bad when he went in but he was still slightly scared. He loved Sully. He didn't want anything to happen to him. Kim walked up to him and patted his back.

"What are you doing here? Alex okay?" Kim asked him.

"Yeah. Alex is fine. Sully thought he was having a heart attack so I called an ambulance." Ty said, "They didn't tell me if he's okay."

"I heard that call come through. I'm sure he's fine." Kim smiled

"I hope so." Ty said as Dr. Morales walked up to him. "Dr. Morales, how is Sully doing?" Sarah smiled softly.

"He's fine." Dr. Morales chuckled, "It wasn't an heart attack."

"It wasn't?" Ty asked.

"It was indigestion. A very bad case of it at that." She said.

"I'm going to kill him." Ty said. Kim laughed softly.

"Be gentle." She said as Ty walked into the room. Sully smiled.

"I take it she told you." He said. Ty glared at him.

"Yeah she told me and I not too happy." He said, "You scared me! I thought I was loosing you. Don't ever do that again!"

"Don't over react, Ty. I'm sorry, but it's not like I lied to you."

"Close to it." He sighed as he sat down next to his partner.

"It's nice to see you sort of care about me." Sully said.

"I care about you, Sul. I love you." He said, "I don't want to loose you okay?" Sully nodded with a smile. It felt good to see that his partner cared so much about him.

"You wont loose me, Kid. I promise." Ty smiled softly and patted his hand. Of course, he was happy that it wasn't a heart attack, but it really made Ty think of how important Sully really was to him.

Week 38

There was only two more weeks left. There was only two more weeks until they got to hold Caroline in their arms. Alex was basically counting down the minutes. She was in so much misery, she vowed she'd never do this again, but she knew that wouldn't happen.

"Christ, Ty." Alex growled as Ty dug into her back with his knuckles, "I will need my spine later on, you know."

"Sorry." Ty chuckled. "Is your back feeling any better?"

"What do you think?" She frowned. Ty kissed her neck.

"I think it doesn't." He said. "I'm just trying to help."

"If you finished the nursery, you helped." She said.

"I did finish." Ty said. It took him a month, but Ty had converted the spare room into the nursery. They had changed their minds so many times but they finally settled on a farm theme. The nursery was filled with pigs, cows, and chickens. It was very cute. It was green and cream mostly. Jade approved of it.

"Good." Alex sighed finally as she relaxed. "I'm so tired, Ty."

"I know, baby." He helped her lay down.

"I don't remember being in this much misery when I was this far along with Jade." Ty laughed slightly.

"I seem to remember you complaining about Jade kicking your lungs and you not being able to eat enough ice cream." He said.

"Oh yeah." She said as she snuggled into the mattress.

"You just rest and I'll go feed Jade and stuff." Ty kissed Alex and got up and left the room. He could hear jade talking to herself in the nursery, "Ladybug, what are you doing in here?"

"I miss this." She had her arms wrapped around the legs of her former crib. Ty chuckled and scooped her up.

"Don't you like your big girl bed?" He asked. Jade nodded.

"I'm a baby." Jade said. Ty shook his head.

"You're a big girl. You're not a baby anymore." He walked down the stairs to the kitchen. Jade started to whine in his arms.

"I am baby." She moaned. Ty sighed softly as he put her in her booster seat.

"You're a big girl, Jade. You're almost three." He said giving her her sippy cup. "You can do a lot more than what a baby can."

"No." Jade whimpered.

"Yes. You can sleep in a big girl bed, you use the potty, you drink from cups, and swim." Ty said, "babies can't do that."

"I know." Jade said. Ty chuckled softly.

"Good. Personally, I like having you be a big girl. I like being able to play with you." Ty winked, "You like playing with Daddy right, Lady bug?" Jade grinned as she nodded.

"Yes. Can we play I the snow?" She asked. Ty nodded.

"Yeah we can. Let's just eat some lunch first." He said as he poured the soup into a couple of bowls.

"Daddy?" Jade turned her sparkling blue eyes up to him.

"What?" Ty asked blowing on the soup for her.

"Is Carrie gonna be a ladybug too?" Jade asked. Ty looked at her. She was biting her lip and he could see the worry In her eyes. He put the bowl in front of her and then shook his head.

"There's only one lady bug and that's you." Ty tickled her nose. "Carrie will be something else to me okay?" Jade nodded. Ty could now see that Jade was afraid that she was being replaced. He knew that would never happen, but he guessed that is what happened a lot of the time when new babies were on their way.
