    Alex and Kim had just arrived back at the house, when they saw Ty walking in their direction.  " Oh um I'll leave you two alone." Kim said, giving Alex's arm a friendly squeeze.

 "Ok, c*ya later Kim."  Alex called back.

"So how are you feeling?" Ty asked.

"Better." Replied Alex

"That's good." Said Ty.

"But I kinda have something to tell you." Alex said.

"What is it," Ty said. "You know you can tell me anything."

"Well, ok," Alex said taking a deep breath " I'm pregnant!"

"Really," Ty asked "that's  great!"

"Really?" Alex said shocked

"Yes, I always wanted to be a father, and having children with you, Alex, is even better." Ty said

"Oh, Ty , I love you!" Alex exclaimed

"I love you too!!" Ty said.

Three weeks went by fast, and before they knew it, it was time for Alex to go to the doctor.  Alex and Ty were both nervous, and they couldn't wait until they found out what the sex of the baby was.  "Are you ready?" Ty asked impatiently.

"In a minute!" Alex yelled back, while she was getting more and more fed up with him asking if she was ready.

"What's your hurry anyways?" Alex asked Ty.

"I'm just anxious, that's it." Ty explained.

"And you don't think I am??" Alex asked.

"I know you are, that's why it's taking you so long to get ready!" Ty said teasingly.

"Well, I'm ready now, lets go!" She said pulling Ty by the hand.

They called a taxi, and got in.  They didn't speak a word to each other, they just smiled and kept holding hands.  They pulled up to the doctor's office and walked in.  They sat for a while and then Dr. Martin walked out.  Dr. Martin was a middle aged woman, with long black hair.  She called Alex's name, and Alex and Ty walked into the exam room.  The only thing they were going for was for an ultrasound, and to see how far along Alex was.  Alex laid down, and the doctor put this very cold clear cream on her stomach, you could barely tell Alex was pregnant, she only had a little pooch.  Then Dr. Martin did the ultrasound, you could see this little thing on the screen.  "Can you tell weather it's a boy or a girl?" Alex asked

"Well, hold on, let me see."  Dr. Martin replied.

She positioned the ultrasound, and then replied " I can see what it is, do you want to know?"

"Yes!" They both said at the same time.

"Well, it looks like you two are going to have a little girl, congratulations!!"  Dr. Martin said.

"A girl?" Said  Ty.

"Yes!" said the doctor.

"That's great!" exclaimed Ty.

"Yes, it is!!!" Said Alex.

They walked out of the doctors with a grin on their faces.  Alex couldn't wait to tell Kim, and Ty couldn't wait to tell everybody!!

Alex walked into the firehouse after her days off, and Kim was the first person who ran into her.   "So…… what are you having??" Asked Kim.

" A GIRL!!!" Alex yelled loudly.

"A girl, congratulations!" Yelled Kim.

"Your having a girl?" Someone yelled.

They turned around and it was Jimmy.

"Yes!" Alex exclaimed.

"Congratulations!" He said, as he gave Alex a big hug.

"Thank you very much." Alex replied.

Just then Doc and Carlos walked in, and Carlos being his nosy self asked, "What have I missed?"

"Alex is having a girl!" Yelled  Jimmy.

"A girl, o man." Said Carlos like a little kid.

Everyone gave him a dirty look.

"Congratulations , kiddo!" Said Doc.

"Thanks Doc!" Said Alex as Doc gave her a big hug.

Pretty soon, everyone in the 55 knew about The Big Surprise, and everyone gave Alex a hug, that day Alex got more hugs than she has ever gotten.
