Sorry for the delay guys, the site has been giving me problems. This will
most likely be the last chapter for a week or so. I am going on vacation
this weekend, but don't worry I plan on doing a lot of writing. Thanks to
tydavislover for your reviews, I'm glad you like the story so much. I wish
others would review it too!
Chapter 37-Sooner Than Expected April 30, 2003
Alex sat on the couch contemplating on whether or not to call out of work. She felt like absolute crap. Ty had gone to the library before his shift to study, since he wasn't able to do it at work like he had planned. Alex looked at the clock and decided that it was too late to call out now; they would have to scramble to find someone to replace her. Maybe she could just stick to driving today.
Alex walked into the firehouse and everyone noticed her state immediately.
"What did a bus hit you on your way over Davis?" DK asked walking by.
"Not today DK, I'm not feeling so hot."
"Obviously," Kim commented.
"I'm going to get changed," Alex said as she walked up the stairs.
After she finished changing Alex walked down the stairs and looked at the schedule, she wanted to see whom she would be riding with. It was she and Kim. Doc wanted Heather to ride with him and Carlos for a couple shifts so he could make sure she was comfortable working with different people. Alex was glad it was just Kim, she could stand her.
Kim was already down by the bus making sure it was stocked when Alex came down.
"Why the hell did you come in today," Kim asked her.
"I don't know, I haven't been thinking too much today."
"No puking on the patients ok?"
"I'll try, I was hoping that I could do most of the driving today. So people don't get whatever the hell I have."
"I think I can live with that."
"Thanks."
"We'll try to lay low too."
Like Kim had said they laid low for the shift. They only took two calls, neither of them that serious.
"You hungry?" Kim asked Alex.
"Yes and no."
"What the hell does that mean?"
"I have a really bad craving for ice cream, but I think if I eat it it'll come right back up."
"Thanks for the picture."
"No problem."
"Is it just your stomach bothering you?"
"Pretty much. I also just feel lousy."
"What did you have this morning for breakfast?"
"Some eggs that Ty made."
"Anything else?"
"What is this 20 questions?"
"I'm just trying to see if my diagnosis is right."
"Care to enlighten me?"
"When was the last time you and Ty were together?"
"That would be none of your business."
Kim just looked at Alex, waiting for her question to register.
"Oh shit," Alex said.
"You've got all the signs."
"We have to get a test."
"Let's go."
Kim and Alex went to the closest drug store. Alex hadn't even thought about the possibility of being pregnant. She and Ty hadn't been trying so it wasn't on her mind. They were planning on kids sometime next year, after they were both settled into new roles at work.
Alex bought the test and they walked next door to McDonald's. Alex didn't want to take it at the firehouse; there were a limited number of people the test could belong to if someone found it. She walked into the bathroom; Kim said she would wait outside. Alex opened the box and followed the directions. Then came the waiting. Three minutes.
Kim was sitting down outside the bathroom. She couldn't tell if Alex was happy about the possibility of being pregnant. Her reaction probably had a lot to do with the fact she hadn't thought about the possibility. It seemed like Alex was in there forever. Finally Kim saw the door open. Alex appeared, she stood right outside the door. Kim was trying to read her face, she got nothing.
"Well?" Kim asked standing up.
"It was positive, we're going to have a baby!" Alex said as she ran to Kim and gave her a hug.
"That's great Alex. I'm so happy for you."
"Now I just have to tell Ty."
"You don't think he will be happy?"
"No, I do. It'll just come out of left field because we haven't been trying."
"Tell him tonight, you shouldn't wait."
"I will. Ahh, Kim we are having a baby."
"I'm glad to see you so happy."
Kim and Alex finished the shift. Alex felt better now that she knew what was going on with her. Even the guys back at the house noticed when they came back.
"I've never seen work actually make some better, it's usually the other way around," DK said.
"You'd be amazed DK," Alex replied.
"Damn, even happy too. What did you two do today, deliver a new kindergarten class?"
"Nope. I've gotta go. I'll see you all tomorrow."
Alex walked downstairs to wait for Ty. She was still glowing from the fact that she was pregnant. She saw Ty coming across the street and walked to meet him.
"Hey you. You're rather cheery for this time of day," Ty said.
"Just had a really good day."
"I saw Carlos before on a call and he said you came into work looking like you were dragged through the mud."
"Glad he thinks so highly of me."
"You know what he meant."
"I wasn't feeling good, but I feel better now."
"That's good."
"Come on, let's get home. I've got something for you."
"For me?"
"Yeah. Let's go."
Alex took Ty's hand and led him home. She couldn't wait to tell him that he was a father.
"Damn girl, what has gotten into you?"
Alex just laughed. What has gotten into me? It's called a baby, she thought to herself.
"Sit down on the couch," Alex said to Ty as they walked into the apartment.
"So what have you got for me?" Ty asked with a mischievous grin.
"I'll be right back."
Alex walked into their bedroom. She had kept the test and wanted to show it to Ty so he could see it for himself. She took the test and the box explaining the results and put them into a small box she had in the closet. She covered the box and took one quick look in the mirror before she went back into the living room.
"The box for me?" Ty asked seeing Alex holding the box as she walked toward him.
"Yup."
Alex walked over to Ty and sat next to him on the couch. She gave him the box.
"Open it."
Ty did as he was told. Slowly he took the top off the box, glancing back to Alex's face to see her reactions. He had the top off the box and looked in to see what was in it. He looked at it with a confused look. He picked up the test and looked at what was beneath it. Then he put it together. He lit up. Ty wasn't able to form words; Alex saw it in his eyes.
"We're pregnant!" Alex exclaimed.
"You're really going to have a baby?"
"That's what the test tells me."
"We're going to be parents!" Ty said, finally comprehending what Alex said.
"What made you take the test, we hadn't been trying?"
"Well, as you know I haven't been feeling good lately. Today I felt like crap, but went to work anyway. I was riding with Kim and she started asking questions. She was the one who suggested that I might have been pregnant."
"Wow, I can't believe this."
"We are going to have a family of our own. Yours and mine."
"I love you so much," Ty said pulling Alex to him and giving her a kiss.
"I love you too," Alex said when they broke the kiss.
