It took some time getting used to the idea of being pregnant. Another baby. Alex had to admit that now…now the idea seemed to be okay. Another baby. Three children were a perfect size for a family. Alex wasn't looking forward to working dispatch though.

"I totally need to go out." Kim said as she drove.

"Huh?" Alex glanced at her.

"Me. You. Party." She said. Alex shook her head.

"I don't think so. I'm pregnant. Partying isn't good for me." She said. Kim laughed and rolled her eyes, "What?"

"You're what? Eight weeks pregnant? You can go party. I'm not saying you need to drink." Kim said, "I just need a girls night out away from children and I know you do too." Alex bit her lip.

"I do." She said.

"Then we're going out and painting the town red." Kim said, "I'll pick you up around eight, all right?" Alex smiled and nodded.

"Perfect." She said.

Ty watched as his wife put some gel in her hair. He smiled.

"You better have fun tonight." Ty said looking at her butt in her tight jeans. Alex chuckled as she adjusted her blue shirt.

"I should have fun tonight, unless I start throwing up." Alex said.

"Momma, where you going?" Jade and Caroline stood in the doorway watching Alex with wide eyes.

"I'm going out with Aunt Kim." Alex said, "Daddy is giving you your baths and reading to you tonight." Caroline smiled.

"We have fun, huh?" Caroline asked. Ty nodded.

"We'll have a lot of fun, I promise." He said, "We'll make popcorn." Caroline's eyes sparkled.

"Go, Momma." She said. Alex chuckled.

"I'm going." She said as Kim honked the horn outside, "You girls be good."

"Always." Ty said. Alex laughed grabbing her wallet.

"Right. Have fun." Alex jogged down the stairs and went outside. "Hey there." Kim waved.

"Wow. You're looking hot." Kim laughed. Alex smiled getting in.

"Don't look pregnant huh?" Alex winked.

"Nope. Not one bit." Kim said as she pulled away from the house.

"Did I tell you Ty is taking the Sargent test?" Alex asked.

"No. Wow. When is it?" Kim asked.

"Next week." Alex said, "He was a little freaked when he found out I was pregnant, because of the money. But He's gonna try and you know, Sargent makes a lot more than patrol."

"And the money matters? I thought Ty liked being on patrol." Kim said. Alex nodded.

"He said he will like being over Bosco." She smiled. Kim chuckled.

"Who wouldn't?"

The music was loud. The people talking were even louder. Games of darts and pool were being played. It was a perfect girl's night out. Alex threw down her five-dollar cover charge and walked in.

"No girls. No Ty. This rocks." Alex laughed as she and Kim went to the bar. Kim nodded.

"Yeah. We should do this one a month." She said.

"At least until I'm nine months pregnant." She chuckled ordering herself a Pepsi. A couple of guys on the other end of the bar were checking them out, "Hey. Look at those guys over there."

"Hmm? They're pretty cute." Kim glanced at them.

"They're very cute." Alex said. Kim chuckled.

"You're married, Alexandra." She said. Alex shrugged.

"I'm married, but not dead." Alex winked at one of the men.

"Alex!" Kim cried with laughter. "That's an evil thing to do."

"But fun." Alex said as the men slid off of their stools and walked over to the ladies, "Hello there." They nodded.

"Hello." He smiled, "My name is Joe. Would you like to play some darts?" Alex chuckled and looked at Kim.

"Well, This is my friend Kim and she's single." Alex said.

"Alex." Kim chuckled, "And this is my friend, Alex. She's married and expecting her third child." That made the guys take a step back.

"Really?" Joe asked. Alex nodded.

"Yup. You still want to play some darts?" She chuckled.

"No. That's all right. I forgot I had something to do." Joe said, "Come on, Bill." Alex and Kim burst into laughter as the men quickly left. Alex raised her glass.

"To being able to repel men." She said.

"Here here." Kim laughed and touched her glass with Alex's. She was actually gad they were repelling men tonight. This was a girl's night out and it would stay a girl's night out.

Week 10

Alex sat at the kitchen table, going over her finances once again. If Ty got this raise, they could totally do it with this new baby.

"Momma, when's daddy coming home?" Jade asked going to the fridge, "I wanna go play with him." Alex shrugged.

"I don't know baby. He was taking a test after work." She said.

"He gonna be a tective now?" Jade asked grabbing an apple.

"He might be." Alex said looking up at her.

"Like on SVU." Jade smiled. Alex laughed softly.

"SVU? Since when do you watch that, Ladybug?" She asked her.

"There's such thing as repeats." Jade stuck out her tongue and left the kitchen. Alex shook her head.

"Don't an attitude, Jade Olivia." She smiled listening to her walk up the stairs, "Check on Cricket for me please!!!"

"Honey, I'm home." Ty walked in and stomped the slush off of his work shoes. Alex got up and went into the living room.

"Hey!" She wrapped her arms around him, "How did it go?"

"Do we have to talk about this?" Ty sighed, pushing her away.

"Oh…" Alex sighed, watching Ty walk into the kitchen, "Ty, I'm sorry. You can take the test in the summer."

"What's the use?" Ty muttered going into the cupboard.

"What's the use?" Alex walked into the kitchen with a frown; "You wanted to get this. I wanted you to do well. You can do it again?"

"Why, Alex?" Ty looked at her; "I got a ninety-nine." Alex stared at him in disbelief.

"A ninety-nine?" She whispered. The smiling Ty nodded.

"I passed with flying colours." Ty said.

"Oh Ty!" She smacked his arm for making her think he failed. Alex threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly, "I knew you could! You knew you could do it, Ty!!!"

"I finished first and they didn't believe me that I completed it, so they graded the written part." Ty said, "They said I blew them away." Alex beamed proudly.

"I am so proud of you, Ty." She said, "Did you tell your mom and sisters?" Ty nodded.

"Yeah, I called Gloria and she almost freaked out. Ma is so happy because I guess less chances of me getting shot." He said.

"Yes. You're going to be so much better than Sgt. Christopher." Alex said, "And just think, you get to boss Bosco around."

"Another added perk." He chuckled, "And the nice raise I get." Alex smiled softly.

"You've made me so happy." She said patting his chest, "We need to celebrate."

"Steak and potato dinner." Ty said. Alex gave him a sly look.

"Steak and potato dinner? I think I can do that. Go check on the girls and I'll have it ready in twenty minutes." She said.

"Sure thing, Hot stuff." He patted her butt and went upstairs. Alex smiled softly and went to the fridge. She was the wife of a Sargent. This was a great feeling. She started to peel the potatoes and hum to herself.

Ty rubbed his hands as Alex put the meal in front of her family.

"This looks delicious, Baby." Ty grinned.

"Sure does, Momma." Jade said as Ty cut up her meat.

"Well, eat up this good meal. We have a lot to be thankful for today." Alex said smiling at Ty.

"Maybe we can have more steaks." Ty said. Alex shook her head.

"Not with another mouth to feed this fall." She said.

"More baby food. Gotta love it." Ty said. Alex smiled softly as she began to eat. Maybe things would turn out great from here on end. He was now a Sargent. They could probably afford this baby.
