Chapter 10-From Good to Bad Part 1
May 10, 2002
Alex had a doctor's appointment this morning. She and Ty figured they would just sleep in, have brunch someplace and then she would go to her appointment. They both woke up and headed for something to eat at a restaurant around the corner from Ty's apartment. After eating Alex headed to the doctor and Ty back to his apartment.
"Alexandra Taylor," the nurse called. She followed her into the exam room. Her appointment was for a simple physical. The department required frequently updated medical information. Shortly after the nurse left the doctor came in. He drew the blood and did the examination. He told her it would be about 30 minutes for the results of her tests. She could wait if she wanted to. Since she had the time before her shift Alex decided to wait. She went and sat back in the waiting room.
"Alexandra Taylor," the nurse called again. She motioned her Alex to follow her into an exam room. Alex found that to be odd, usually they just told you everything was fine and you left. The nurse told Alex that the doctor would be right in. Like she said, he came right in.
"Miss Taylor," the doctor began. "Based on your test results, I have some news for you."
"Is it bad news?" Alex asked assuming it was.
"Not usually, but it can be."
"A bit vague, but ok. What is it?"
"The results of your pregnancy test were positive."
"I'm pregnant?" Alex questioned in disbelief.
"Most likely. This is a basic test, but is usually accurate."
"Wow, that's something I wasn't expecting to hear."
"You have options Alex."
"I'm happy about it, just shocked."
"Have you been trying to have a baby?"
"No, but we have talked about it. I'm sure my boyfriend will be happy."
"That's good. I want to see you in a month to make sure everything is progressing correctly."
"Thank you doctor."
Alex walked out of the doctor's office with her hand on her stomach. She was pregnant. She just hoped that she was right when she told the doctor that Ty would be happy about it. She was pretty sure he would be after the initial shock, like she had. It was already quarter after two. She had to get to the house for her shift. She wanted to at least tell Ty that everything was fine. She didn't want to tell him she was pregnant until later. It's not exactly something that you just blurt out. She ran into the firehouse and got changed. Hopefully she could catch Ty before he and Sully left. She was just on her way back downstairs when they had a call.
"Adam 5-5-3 and Boy 5-5-3 your assistance is requested at 3rd and Lex for a multivehicle accident.
"Damn it," Alex said.
"You ready?" Kim asked as she ran downstairs.
"Yup, let's go." She would have to talk to Ty later.
Kim and Alex arrived on scene with Doc and Carlos. There were so many cars smashed up. None of them wanted to even try to figure out what happened. Command directed Kim and Alex to a car that was somewhat off to the side. The patients weren't seriously injured, but the driver was pinned in. The fire department was working on getting her out. Kim was assessing the driver and Alex was assessing the passenger. Then they both heard screeching tires.
"Alex!" Kim screamed.
