Alex ran the cloth over the red metal of the engine. Today had been quiet. They hadn't gotten any calls. She was glad about that. Today was her first day back and she really didn't feel fit enough to run through burning buildings. She was glad the captain had asked her to return to the rig, but now she had to break it to Jimmy that she wouldn't be riding with him. Jimmy walked up behind her.

"Hey Davis." He smiled.

"Hey…" She said looking at him. "There food up there?"

"DK's chili." He said, "How are you feeling?" She shrugged.

"Parenthood is killer. Jade is getting to be very…I don't know…Demanding and, I don't want to say bitchy, but…Yeah, I do want to say bitchy." She laughed, "and Caroline still isn't sleeping through the night." She said tossing the rag into the bin.

"Well, soon she'll be sleeping more." He said. She bit her lip.

"I think I'm going back to work in the bus. Captain asked me and We talked and I agree with everything we talked about." Alex said.

"What?" Jimmy frowned deeply. Alex not is a firefighter again? She hadn't gone back to being an EMT in a long time.

"I want to work with Kim again." She said, "With Caroline here…I need to take care of myself more. Being a firefighter isn't the most safe job in the world." Jimmy nodded in disbelief.

"But you love being a firefighter." He said.

"I love being a mother more than being a firefighter." She said, "I'm not saying I won't be back. I just need a break. Maybe when Caroline is older and in school, I will feel more comfortable with it."

"It's ridiculous, Alex." Jimmy growled.

"No it's not, Jimmy. Ty is a cop and I'm a firefighter/Paramedic. Very dangerous jobs." She said, "I love my kids, Jimmy. It's not like…Why am I explaining this to you?" She chuckled softly.

"You're not doing this because of me are you?" Jimmy asked.

"Have you been listening to a single word I've been saying?"

"Yeah I have but I don't believe you." Jimmy said, "Firefighter is your lie, Alex." She shook her head.

"My children…My Family are my life, Jimmy. You should know that by now." Alex sighed softly. Jimmy nodded slowly; "I'm still working with you. I'm not being transferred or anything."

"Well, You just took me off guard is all, Davis." Jimmy said.

"Sorry." She chuckled softly. "Come on. Let's go upstairs."

"I may just come over tonight and have a look at my godchildren or something." Jimmy said wrapping his arm around her shoulders.

"Do what you wish. Jade would love to have you." She said.

"Cool. Ty won't mind?" Jimmy asked.

"Ty doesn't know you have an undying love for me." Alex smiled.

"Hey! I do not!" He pushed her away from him with a laugh.

"I'm just so lovable. Everyone has an undying love for me, I suppose." Alex laughed as she walked to her locker, "Right, DK?"

"Right." he chuckled.

"You have an undying love for me, right Kim?" Alex asked.

"Oh yes. We're lesbian lovers. Didn't you know?" Kim said from her magazine. Jimmy snickered.

"Carlos, you love me?" Alex asked.

"I will love you if Kim is there too." Carlos said with a smirk

"We'll make sure you know about our weekly sleepovers and naked pillow fights ahead of time Nieto." Kim said as Alex plopped down next to her, "I heard you coming back to me." Alex nodded.

"Until further notice you're stuck with me, Kim." Alex said.

"Great. You're my favourite person to be stuck to." Kim said. Alex smiled and glanced at Jimmy. Sure she was sad she was going back to being a paramedic, but she was happy to be working with Kim again. Go figure.

Caroline lifted her head up and looked at the teddy bear in front of her. She was getting so strong the past couple of weeks. She pulled herself up on her shaky arms. Jade looked at her.

"So silly, Carrie." Jade put her foot on the baby's back and pushed her down to the ground. Caroline grunted with a whimper. "You need to stay down." Caroline tried to lift herself up again, but Jade once again pushed her down. Ty walked in and growled.

"Jade Olivia Davis!!!" He yelled and scooped Caroline up; "I don't want to ever see you do that again. You understand me?"

"Carrie asked me to, Daddy." Jade's eyes sparkled.

"Oh She did not, Jade." Ty said grabbing Caroline's bottle. "Can't you be a good big sister, Jade? Caroline really needs you to be good." Ty said as he sat down on the couch. Jade smiled.

"I am good." Jade said.

"No you're not." Ty said, "Stepping on Caroline isn't good."

"But It's fun." Jade batted her eyelashes at her father.

"No it's not. It'll hurt Caroline and get you punished." He said.

"No way." Jade frowned.

"Yes way. If I see you do that one more time, you will be punished." Ty said. Jade glared at him.

"No fair! Hate you!" She cried.

"No you don't." Ty frowned deeply at her.

"Ya huh. I hate you. Be dead!" She snapped and marched out of the room. Ty stared at the doorway. She just wished him dead.

"Fine, Jade." He whispered looking down at Caroline. Alex walked into the living room with a smile upon her face.

"Lord, work sucked today." Alex looked at her husband. He looked like he was on the verge of tears. She frowned, "Ty?"

"She wished me dead." Ty whispered. Alex sat down next to him.

"Who wished you dead?" Alex took Caroline into her arms.

"Jade. She said she hated me and she wanted me dead." He said.

"Ty, she's not even three years old yet." Alex said, "Don't let it get to you." Ty looked at his wife.

"It hurt me, Alex." He frowned at her, "You don't know how it feels to have your daughter wish you dead." Alex sighed.

"I'll go talk to her after I feed Caroline, all right?" She asked him.

"Do what you want to, Alex." Ty said, getting up. Alex sighed.

"Looks like your sister really hurt him." She said, "I don't care what she did. She should never say that to your father. I guess we should go up there." Alex got up and went up to Jade's room. "Jade, sweetheart?" She walked into the room. Jade frowned.

"Go away, Mommy." Jade said from beneath her bedspread.

"I'm not going to go away." Alex said as she sat down. She put Caroline on her shoulder as she pulled the blanket away, "We really need to talk." Jade gave her a mad look.

"Don't wanna." She said.

"I don't care if you want to or not. What you said to your father was really really bad, Jade. You can not say that to him."

"I don't care." Jade moaned.

"What did you do?" Alex asked.

"Nothing." Jade said.

"You did something." Alex said looking at her.

"I stepped on Carrie." Jade said. Alex frowned deeply.

"Did you apologize?" She asked.

"No and I don't want to." Jade glared at her.

"Fine. You're in your room for the whole night then. If you want to apologize to your father and Caroline, then come into my room, but if not you're staying in here." Jade said something under her breath as Alex left but she didn't pay attention. Alex growled as she closed the door. They were so cute when they were Caroline's age but when they learned to talk everything goes downhill.
