After finishing up talking to Joey, Kim got up and headed for the kitchen
to see what Bobby was up to. She found him in the kitchen fixing some
sausage, but the overpowering smells from it cooking sent her stomach for a
loop, and she headed back to the bathroom as another wave of nausea went
coursing through her. After her stomach settled down she headed back into
the bedroom to relax and prayed he didn't bring the sausage anywhere near
her. Several minutes later he returned to where she was and sat down next
to her.
"You want anything?"
"Not really," she said faintly, she could still smell the odor from the sausage which began to wreck havoc with her stomach again.
"Later today if you want to, we can go tell the good news to the soon to be grandparents." he said smiling.
"As soon as my stomach settles a bit, we'll head out. Ok?" she replied, looking up at him.
"Sounds good, I'll go call my mom and give her the heads up we're coming over later." Bobby said as he headed for the phone.
As soon as the nausea had subsided she began to get ready.
Ten minutes later they sat in the living room of her mother's apartment talking back and forth.
"You still look pale, are you sure your ok?" Kim's mother asked her daughter while glancing over at Bobby.
"I'm fine trust me," she replied to her worried mother.
"I've got good news for you though," Kim said, silently anticipating her mother's reaction.
"Really? Well tell me what it is." Her mother replied smiling.
Just then Bobby's cell phone began to ring.
"Man people have impeccable timing." Bobby said laughing as he stood up and went into the next room after looking at the number flashing on his phone as it rang.
Kim turned her attention back to her mother and said, "The good news I have for you is that you're going to be a grandmother again."
"How far along?" her mother asked beaming.
"About four weeks."
Just then Bobby returned to the room and Kim noticed something wasn't right.
"Who was that?" she asked as he sat down.
"Alex," he replied, thinking back to what he'd just heard.
"What did she want?" she asked, fearing something had happened.
"There was a fire at my mom's apartment complex."
"Is she ok?" Kim asked, shocked at what she'd just heard.
"Just a bit shaken up. She took in a little smoke on her way out but other than she sounded fine."
"You two go and make sure she's ok. We can finish this later." Kim's mother said, noticing how worried Bobby looked.
The three of them headed to the door and Kim's mother wished her daughter and Bobby congratulations about the baby and watched them head towards the elevator to check on his mother.
When they got out to his car and headed towards his mother's complex Kim said, "Did Alex say how bad the fire was?"
"No, she didn't."
"Hopefully it wasn't on her floor." Kim replied softly.
As they arrived, the crew from the 55 was still there on the scene. Faith and Bosco were keeping back bystanders when they saw Kim and Bobby pull up. They got out and headed towards Alex who had seen them arrive and were headed towards them.
"How is she?" Bobby asked Alex as they headed over to the ambulance where is mother was at.
"She's fine, just took in some smoke that's all." Alex replied, walking over with them to the ambulance.
Bobby and his mother began talking in Spanish while Alex and Kim stood talking a short distance away.
"I tried calling your apartment and no one answered, I hope I didn't interrupt anything." Alex said, referring to the call she'd made to them earlier.
"We were at my mother's," Kim replied looking over at Bobby.
"Did you tell her?" Alex asked.
"Yeah," she replied as she noticed Bobby motioning for her to come over.
"I bet she's excited, right?" Alex replied smiling.
"That she is. Be right back." Kim replied smiling and headed towards Bobby and his mother.
"Lets take my mom back to our place and have Alex call us when she can come back to her apartment." Bobby said.
"Sounds good." Kim replied smiling as she and Bobby helped his mother from the ambulance.
Bobby went to talk to Alex while Kim and his mother headed back to his car. A short time later he jogged back over to the car and headed back to their apartment.
When they got back home, Kim and his mother sat down in the living room and began talking while Bobby went in and fixed something to drink for his mother and himself and got Kim a bottle of water. As the three talked back and forth for some time Bobby's mother remembered the call he'd made to her saying that he had something he needed to tell her.
"Earlier when you called you said you needed to tell me something. What is it?" she asked, noticing something was different about her son.
She sat and listened as she heard her son tell her that soon she would be a grandmother. Hearing those words brought tears to her eyes as she began to think about what her future grandson or granddaughter would look like. She gave both her son and Kim a warm hug and they sat and talked forever about the rambunctious behavior Bobby had when he was a kid. Kim got a kick out of the stories, not pegging Bobby as the rambunctious type. Bobby had begun to blush from embarrassment from some of the stories as Kim committed some of the stories to memory.
A short time later Alex called and let them know it was ok to bring his mother back to her apartment. They finished up the embarrassing stories and headed out to take his mother back home. When they arrived at the complex they walked up to her apartment with her.
"Do you want us to stay with you for a bit?" Bobby asked as his mother opened the door to her apartment.
"I should be fine, plus you two have planning to do about the baby." She replied smiling.
"Ok, see you later." Bobby replied over his shoulder.
"You two take care and congratulations." She replied before she shut the door to her apartment.
While they were driving home Kim asked, "Want to start picking out potential names for the baby when we get home?"
"I'd love to." He replied, glancing over at her.
"I still can't see you as the rambunctious type when you were a kid," Kim said laughing lightly.
"I'm sure your mother has a few horror stories with you too." He replied chuckling a bit.
"I could tell you I was an angel as a kid but I know you wouldn't believe me." She said, looking over at the comical expression on his face.
"You're right. I wouldn't believe it unless I heard it from your mom or your sister." Bobby replied laughing, wondering what mischief she had gotten into when she was a kid.
When they arrived back home, they both grabbed a notepad and sat on the couch and thought up names for the baby. Thirty minutes later Kim had already filled up a whole page with possibilities and put stars next to her two favorite names.
"Done already?" Bobby asked, glancing up at her as she skimmed over her list.
"Yep, even picked out my two favorites." She replied as she looked over the list again.
"Which are?" he asked as he looked up from his list.
"Aidan Zachary for a boy and Keira Nicole for a girl. What are the favorites off your list?"
"Alina Michon for a girl and Alexander Antonio for a boy." He replied.
"Now all we have to do is what and see if we're having a boy or a girl." Kim said smiling.
The next day at work, Bobby and Kim told everyone at the station the good news. Everyone was thrilled with the news and wished them both congratulations.
"You want anything?"
"Not really," she said faintly, she could still smell the odor from the sausage which began to wreck havoc with her stomach again.
