As always I don't own any of the Third Watch Characters. I would also like to give a huge thanks to Angel Officer because without her this idea would have never made it to where it is know, so thank you.

Over the next couple of months a lot of things happened first off Ty and Jimmy both sold their apartments and bought a small house together so they could all live together comfortably again. Joey was excited at prospect of being a big brother, when they had told him about the pregnancy they also told him about what had happened with Michael.

As pregnancies go Ty's was fairly easy, she barely suffered from morning sickness, however, she did have the most grotesque food cravings imaginable. It eventually got to the point, that whenever she made herself something to eat Jimmy and Joey would refuse to near the kitchen. They also insisted that she eat her food in the kitchen as up posed to any other room in the house.

Roughly 8 weeks before her due date Ty went into labor. Ty had been at home doing some light cleaning since she had the day off when her water broke. It took her only a couple of seconds to realize what had happened. Ty then called for a cab to take her to Mercy.

" Hi Mary" Ty said as she walked over to the nurses desk.

" Hi Ty, is their anything I can do for you."

" Well I'm glad you asked cause my water broke fifteen minutes ago, and I can tell you that these contractions hurt like a bitch."

Mary Proctor was slightly shocked at Ty's words, but as soon as they registered her medical training kicked. She quickly called for an orderly to bring her a wheelchair and for him to take her up to the maternity ward while she called ahead. Once that was done she called the fire house and told them to get a message to Jimmy about what was happening since he was out on a call.

Twenty minutes after Mary had called the firehouse Jimmy Doherty rushed into the ER still wearing his turnout gear. Going over to the nurses station " Proctor where is she?" he asked his voice laced with pure unadulterated fear.

" She was taken up to the maternity ward and when I called up a couple minutes ago they said that they've settled her into a room."

" Thanks Mary" Jimmy said over his shoulder as he walked to the bank of elevators.

After stepping off of the elevator Jimmy took a deep breath before heading over to the nurses station " excuse me ma'am, could please tell me in which room I can find Ty Romano."

The nurse looked up a flash of disdain crossing her face " and may I ask, who are you?"

" Ty is my girlfriend, I received a call at work telling me she'd gone into premature labor. So again I ask you, where is she." Jimmy said through clenched teeth as he started loosing his temper.

" She's in room 216, it's down that corridor last room on the right."

" Thanks" Jimmy said already walking down the hall.

" Ty" Jimmy said softly as he walked into her room. He pulled up a chair and took her hand in his, placing a kiss on the top. " Hi honey, you ok?"

" What the Hell kind of question is that Jimmy? No I'm not ok." She yelled breaking down in tears. " I'm in labor and the baby isn't due for another eight weeks, Jimmy I'm terrified. What if we loose this baby to? I don't think I can handle that."

" Ty, don't even think that. This baby is going to be fine."


" Jimmy I distinctly remember you saying that last time and look what happened then." As soon as she said those words she regretted them. " Sorry baby" she cried.

" It's ok. I know you didn't mean that."

Several hours later Ty finally gave birth to her baby, who was immediately whisked away to the NICU.
