"I feel like a blimp." Taylor says

"Oh come on baby, I think you look great." Walsh smiles

Taylor turns away from the mirror. "I'm a blimp."

"Yeah, but you're a pretty blimp." Walsh laughs

Taylor throws a pillow at him.

"Only a few more weeks now baby, then we will have a happy, healthy little boy." Walsh says

"Yeah, and that makes it all worth it." Taylor smiles

"Well, I have to go to work now. Try to take it easy baby, see you later." Walsh kisses Taylor as he heads out the door for work. *~*~*~*~*

Sirens sound as the fire truck pulls onto the scene of a car accident. Sasha and Gusler are already there. Davis and Sully pull up as well. Kim and Carlos arrive on scene as well as Doc and Nicole.

Jimmy works on extricating the driver of a small car that had been hit behind the door. Kim and Carlos stand ready to take the driver.

"Almost there." Jimmy says

"My legs! I can't feel my legs!" The driver screams

"Ma'am, we're working as fast as we can to help you. Just hold on another minute." Kim says

"Okay, got it." Jimmy says

Kim squeezes by him to reach the driver.

"We've got a bleeder." Kim says

Carlos quickly passes 4 by 4s to Kim to control the bleeding. They get the woman out of her car and put her on a backboard. Jimmy and Carlos lift the woman into the back of the bus.

"Let's go!" Kim says as she pulls the doors shut behind her. *~*~*~*~*

Taylor is cleaning up around the apartment.

"We really need to finish this nursery." She says walking by the messy room.

She then looks to the closet and sees some of the things that they already have for the baby. She looks at the gallons of paint on the floor, the carpeting that is waiting to be put in.

"There's a lot to do and so little time to do it." She says as she picks up some things from the floor. She then decides to go to the store to get a few things. She locks the door behind her and heads off down the stairs. *~*~*~*~*

"So what are you doing this weekend?" DK asks Walsh as they return to the house.

"Taylor and I gotta finish the nursery. She's worried about it not being ready and her delivering early." Walsh replies

"Well, I'd think having the nursery done would be a good idea." DK smiles Logan nods in agreement.

"If you need any help, let us know." Jimmy says

"Thanks Jimmy. I will." Walsh replies *~*~*~*~*

"I don't like this." Bosco says

"What?" Faith asks

"It's too quiet." Bosco says

"So, it's quiet, that's a good thing." Faith replies

"No, I don't like it when it's quiet. Something bad always happens." Bosco responds

Faith just sits there looking at Bosco.

"Are you going to respond to that?" He asks

"Why? I think you have yourself paranoid tonight." Faith responds with a small laugh

"Funny. Real funny, but you wait!" Bosco says *~*~*~*~*

Doc and Nicole pull up on a call for a man who is lying on the sidewalk.

"Sam." Doc says

"Who's Sam?" Nicole asks

"Frequent flyer" Doc replies

"Oh. I see." Nicole replies

"Sam, how are you?" Doc asks

Sam just throws up right in front of Doc.

"I'll take that as not well." Nicole laughs as Doc just looks at her. *~*~*~*~*

Davis is driving and Sully is enjoying the evening.

"It's a good evening to be a cop." Sully says

"Yeah, it's nice and quiet." Davis replies. *~*~*~*~*

Taylor is walking down 95th Street. She is thinking about the things that she needs to get.

"Don't turn around and give me your purse." A voice from behind calls

Taylor stops. She takes her purse off her arm.

"You don't want to do this." She says

"Shut up and give me your purse!" The voice demands

Taylor slowly hands her purse to the man. She feels an awful, sharp pain in her back. The man stabs her repeatedly and runs off. Taylor crumples to the ground in pain.

"Somebody help me!" She calls out in pain. *~*~*~*~*

The guys are playing cards.

"I'll be right back." Walsh says

"Okay." Jimmy responds

Walsh goes to the den to call Taylor. The phone rings, and rings, and rings.

"That's odd, wonder where she's at." He thinks to himself. *~*~*~*~*

Bosco turns down 95th.

"It's still too quiet." He says "You're going to say that until something happens aren't you?" Faith asks

Bosco ignores the comment. He is watching something.

"Hey Faith, what's that over there?" He asks

"It looks like a person." Faith replies

"Probably some drunk who passed out. Let's go get 'um." Bosco responds. *~*~*~*~*

"So Walsh how's the wife?" DK asks knowing that's who Walsh phoned.

"I guess she went out. She's not answering her phone." Walsh replies

"Taylor's not answering her cell phone?" Jimmy asks. "That's odd."

"Yeah, tell me about it." Walsh replies

"What's odd?" Kim asks walking into the room. *~*~*~*~*

Gusler and Sasha walk into a diner to get something to eat.

"You know, I always liked this place." Sasha says

"Yeah, it's good I guess." Gusler says looking around

"What's the matter? You scared?" Sasha laughs

"Kind of." Gusler says while Sasha continues laughing. *~*~*~*~*

Bosco takes out his flashlight as he and Faith approach the person on the ground.

"Okay, move along." Bosco says

The person doesn't move. Faith looks at the ground.

"Hey Bos, that's blood." She says as she moves around to the front of the person. "Oh God Taylor!"

Bosco snaps to attention.

"Taylor?" Bosco asks

"55 David to Central. We need a bus on a rush to 95th and Amsterdam." Faith radios

"Taylor? Taylor can you hear me?" Bosco asks *~*~*~*~*

The alarm breaks in on the card game.

"Boy 55-3, police need assistance 95th and Amsterdam" The alarm calls

"Police always need assistance." DK says

"Yeah, why can't the boys in blue do it themselves?" Jimmy quips.

Kim and Carlos head for the bus and head off. *~*~*~*~*

Carlos pulls onto the scene.

"Bosco what do you have?" Kim asks as she sees Bosco and Faith doing CPR

"It's Taylor. She's been stabbed!" Bosco calls doing compression

"Oh no." Kim says as she runs with the bags Carlos following.

"Taylor. Taylor. Come on Taylor, talk to us." Carlos says

"Okay guys, let's roll her over carefully, I need to see what we're up against and try to control the bleeding." Kim says "Oh man."

"What?" Carlos asks

"We gotta scoop and run. I need one of you two to drive." Kim says

"I'll drive." Bosco says as the four quickly get Taylor into the bus and head for Mercy. *~*~*~*~*

The phone rings at the firehouse. Lieutenant Johnson answers. He then walks into the kitchen.

"Walsh I need to speak with you." Lieu says

"What is it Lieu?" Walsh asks

"It's Taylor." Lieu replies, "You need to get to Mercy right away."

"What happened?" Walsh asks

"There's been an accident. Kim and Carlos are taking her in now." Doc replies. "Come on, let's go."

Doc, Nicole, and Walsh all leave the room quickly. *~*~*~*~*

Bosco and Faith help Carlos take the gurney into the ER. Kim is doing compressions.

"Trauma 1" Proctor says as the group comes in.

There are nurses scrambling everywhere. Doctor Fields rushes in.

Bosco, Faith, Carlos, and Kim watch from the window of the trauma room.

"What about the baby?" Bosco asks

"I don't know." Kim replies.

My Last Breath by Evanescence plays

Walsh rushes into the ER.

"Kim, where is she?" He asks panicked.

"In trauma 1." Kim replies looking glumly

"How is she?" He asks

"I don't know." She replies as tears stream down her cheeks.

Walsh watches as Dr. Fields and the nurses work on Taylor. He puts his hand on the glass. "I'm here." He cries. "I'm here."
