Everyone was happy to see Jimmy and Ty back together especially Joey. At the end of November Ty invited the gang from the fire house and the precinct to her place for Thanksgiving. The guys were all gathered in Ty's living room watching the game, Charlie and Joey were sitting off to the side debating on which team was the best. The women were all in Ty's kitchen/ dinning room, making the food and talking about everything that was going on in their lives. Emily on the other hand was telling them about school and how she was gonna try out for the school's softball team in the spring. So until dinner was ready Emily was asking Ty for tips and what she should do in certain situations out on the field.

************

At the beginning of December Ty started having some really bad mood swings. Some days she'd feel fine then on others everyone and everything would piss her off to the point where it would make her snap at anyone in the vicinity.

" Ty, what in the hell is wrong with you?" Alex asked exasperated and fed up with Ty's attitude. " We still have over half of the shift left. So either tell me what's wrong or I'm going to throttle you."

" I don't know what's wrong with me Alex. I just cant seem to control my emotions."

" Well it's good Lieu put us on a bus then, this way we can figure it out together."

" I'm sorry Alex, I've been acting like a bitch and I don't know why."

" Could you be pregnant? I remember Faith being like this while she was pregnant with Kyla."

When she heard this question Ty turned white as a sheet. " I can't be pregnant", Ty stammered. " I just can't." her eyes showing signs of fear and trepidation.

" Why not, you and Jimmy are sleeping together aren't you?"

" Yeah, but we're careful."

" That may be but accidents do happen." Alex pointed out. " Maybe you should make a doctors appointment then you'll know for sure. Look when we're on dinner break we can stop by the Family Planning Clinic on Lexington Ave. You can have the test done and get the results by the end of our shift."

" Ok, thanks Al I don't know what I'd do without you."

" No problem, that's what sisters are for."

So on their dinner break they went to the clinic. For the rest of their shift Ty was distracted. Right after their shift ended Ty's cell phone started ringing, so she pulled over to the side of the road and turned off the engine to her car.

" Hello."

" Is this Tyra Romano?"

" Yes, it is." Ty replied.

" This is Dr. O'Connell from the Family Planning office, I just wanted to get back to you about your test results…"

" So what's the result?" Ty asked anxiously.

" Congratulations Tyra you're pregnant, if you can please come into my office some time this week so that we can go over your options."

" Thank you" Ty stammered into her cell phone before turning it off. She then regained her composure enough to drive home, where she then cried herself to sleep.

The next day at the start of shift " has anyone seen Ty?" Jimmy asked.

" Your girlfriend called in sick." D.K. yelled from the living room.

That night after work Jimmy stopped by Ty's place. When she opened the door he got the shock of his life, she was pale with puffy blood shot eyes, her hair was messed up and she was wearing an old pair of sweats and one of his sweat-shirts. " What's wrong?" he asked his voice laced with concern.

" Go away Jimmy. I can't handle talking to you at the moment."

" But…" before he could finish his statement she'd closed the door in his face.

************

The next day.

" Alex, what's wrong with Ty?"

" Jimmy you need to talk to my sister she's the only one who can tell you that."

Then Lieu came into the kitchen area from his office. " Alex stow your gear on the rig. Doc I've got another paramedic from the 48th coming in to cover for you."

" Why am I on a rig? I thought it was Ty's week."

" Your sister called in sick for the rest of the week."

************

At the same time Ty had an appointment across town with Dr. O'Connell.

" Hello Tyra, how are you feeling."

" To tell you the truth, like I'm sinking in quicksand. I was actually wondering what I need to do, so that I can have an abortion."

" Are you sure that, that's what you want? You're a young woman…"

" Dr. O'Connell I understand what you're saying, but there are a couple things you should now. Four years ago I lost my son Michael to Congenital Heart Disease. He died several hours after he was born, and the doctors never determined what caused it. They also told me that any other children I might have could also have this. I cant go through the loss of another child."

" Well if you're sure about wanting an abortion then what will happen is that I will explain the procedure to you. You'll then need to meet with our in house counselor, once that has been done we can do the procedure."

" Alright, how soon can you fit me in?"

" Well we have several different procedures scheduled for this month so…" looking at her calendar " I have an opening on the 10th of January."

" That will be fine. If you have any appointments open up could please let me know?"

" That can be arranged."

" Thanks Dr." Ty said as she got up to leave the office.

Over the next two weeks Ty kept everything to herself and went back to work. Then two days before Christmas they were having a little party at the fire house. During the party Joey went to get his PS2 out of Ty's bag when he found the signed consent form for the abortion. But because he wasn't sure what the letter meant he took it to Jimmy and asked him if Ty was sick or something. When he read the letter, Jimmy became hurt and angry. So he went looking for Ty and found her downstairs shooting hoops with the rest of the guys.

" Ty we need to talk."

" Can't it wait I'm in the middle of a game?"

" Either we talk in private or with an audience, it's up to you."

Realizing that this couldn't wait she excused herself from the guys and went with Jimmy. " Ok, what's going on?"

" So when were you planning on telling me that you're pregnant, before or after the abortion or not at all?"

Ty was shocked " How did you find out?" she asked, he then handed her the doctors letter.

" Joey found it and asked me if you were sick."

" I'm sorry Jimmy. I should have told you."

" No SHIT! That's my baby Ty, didn't you think I had a right to know?"

" Yes, but I was scared, still am actually. I love you and I don't want to loose you."

" Well I think it's to fucking late for that." Before he walked off Ty saw the pain and anguish in his eyes. Jimmy then found Lieu and told him that he needed to leave, since the shift was almost over Lieu agreed.

While all of this was going on Ty had gone up onto the roof. Roughly half an hour later D.K. and Alex found Ty on the roof without a jacket on sitting in the snow crying.

" What's wrong?" Alex asked her voice filled with concern.

" I really screwed things up with Jimmy this time. I don't think he's going to forgive me, not that I blame him."

" How so? I thought everything was ok with both of you." D.K. said somewhat confused.

" You're pregnant aren't you?" Alex asked.

" Yeah, I am."

"Congratulations." D.K. said giving her a hug.

" Yeah, well there in lies the problem. I didn't tell Jimmy and I've planned to get an abortion. Now stupid as I am, I left the consent form for the procedure in my bag. So earlier when Joey went looking for his PS2 game he found it. Thinking I was sick he took it to Jimmy wanting to know what was wrong. And know he's really mad at me not that I can blame him or anything."

D.K. sighed " Ty what did you expect would happen?"

" I don't know" she sobbed. So Alex took her in her arms.

" Look let me take you home and we'll work something out in the morning." Alex suggested.

" Ok, thanks guys."

" No Sweat." D.K. said matter-of-factly thinking to himself that he needed to find Jimmy.
