The past two weeks had been incredibly hard for the Davis family. They didn't think it would be so hard to find a bone marrow match for River, but it was. Everyone they knew was being tested. Alex sat by Jade's hospital bed. She was still a little groggy from the medication the doctors gave her when she was being tested. Alex ran her hand across Jade's hair. She opened her eyes.

"Hey baby." Alex said. Jade grunted as she sat up.

"Is River okay now?" She asked. Alex sighed and shook her head.

"He's still sick." She said, "But you can go home soon."

"I don't want to go home without River." Jade said. Alex sighed.

"I know but you have to. Uncle Adam and Jasmine are home with Caroline and they have sundaes waiting for you." Alex said. Jade nodded.

"All right." Dr. Carmichael walked into the room with a smile.

"You ready to go home, Jade?" He asked her. Jade nodded.

"I'm gonna have sundaes. It's all right, right?" She asked.

"Yes it is." He chuckled as he looked at Alex, "We sent her marrow to the lab and we should get in back in a day."

"All right." She said helping Jade out of the bed. Maybe she would be a match. She had to be.

Alex knocked on River's door before walking in. Ty looked up with a yawn. She walked over to the crib and looked at River.

"How is RJ doing?" She asked.

"He hasn't woken up yet." Ty said, "Dr. Carmichael said he could be out all day." Alex nodded as she sat in the chair that had become so familiar lately.

"Adam was organizing Carrie's birthday party when I got there with Jade." She said. Ty sighed.

"I forgot about her birthday." He said. Alex nodded.

"Me too." She said, "Adam is pretty suspect that they won't let him test." Ty sighed.

"Yeah. It's pretty stupid. He could be a match, but they don't care." Ty growled as a knock came upon the door, "Come in."

"Hey." Kim walked into the room; "I just came by to see if you needed anything." Ty shook his head.

"You've already been tested." He said. Kim smiled weakly.

"You should see it down at the fifty-five right now. They are starting a major bone marrow drive. All the cops and medics and firefighters are going to be tested." Kim said looking over the edge of the crib, "Hello, Sweetheart."

"Thank you so much, Kim." Alex said. "RJ is going to be okay."

"I know he will be." She said. "I just wanted to tell you about the drive. I will go check on the girls later if you want."

"Thanks." Alex said, "Could you bring by a change of clothes for RJ and I tomorrow?" Kim nodded as she kissed Alex's hair.

"Anything you want." She said, "Take care." She walked out of the room and Alex sighed.

"Maybe there will be a match at work." Alex said.

"With our luck it was Sully and he's dead." Ty muttered. Alex frowned.

"Maybe Faith." Alex closed her eyes as River started to wake up. Alex leaned over and smiled at him. "Hello sweetheart." River whimpered as he rubbed his eyes. Ty bent down and picked him up. River snuggled into his father.

"That's my boy." Ty whispered. Alex stared at him.

"We wanted a boy so bad and now look what happened." She said to her husband. Ty looked up at her, "Were we too greedy?"

"No." Ty said, "God doesn't give us what he knows we can't handle." Alex's eyes filled with tears.

"I wish he didn't trust us so much." She whispered. Alex rested her face into her hands and stared to cry.

Jade wasn't a match. Caroline wasn't a match. Jasmine wasn't a match. Alex wasn't a match. Ty wasn't a match. Maggie wasn't a match and Beth wasn't a match. Their hopes of their son getting better dissolved with every negative result.

"You're such a big boy." Alex smiled weakly as she held the IV so River could sit up. He began to wobble and River fell back down.

"Oopsie." Ty chuckled as he looked over the edge of the crib. River belted out a belly laugh. That was one new thing River had done this week.

"You're being so good, RJ. Are you getting hungry?" She asked. Beth walked into the room.

"Probably, but I can feed him." Beth said. Alex shook her head.

"No. That's all right. I can do it." Alex said.

"Nonsense. You and Ty have been in this hospital for the past two weeks without leaving." Beth said, "Why don't you go home, have a bath, real meal, and a sleep in your own bed? The girls are with Kim so you can just relax." Alex shook her head.

"I don't need to." Alex said, "I'm fine right here."

"No you're not. You need a break." Beth said.

"No I don't." Alex snapped. Beth looked at Ty for help. He cleared his throat.

"You know Alex, I could really handle a nap in my bed and maybe some pasta. Not hospital food." Ty said. Alex looked at Ty. She sighed softly as she looked deep into his eyes. She nodded.

"Fine, but we'll be back first thing in the morning." Alex said.

The bathroom started to fill up with steam as Alex began to get undressed. She had to admit that this was exactly what she needed. A small smile came across Alex's face as she put bubbles into the bath.

"This is nice." She lit some rose candles as she slid into the bath. Alex groaned as the water soothed her aching muscles.

Of course a nice bath wouldn't erase all the troubles going on in her life, but it would make her feel better. Alex closed her eyes just as she heard glass breaking in her bedroom. Alex sat up as she heard another crash.

"What the hell?" She mumbled getting out of the bathtub. She wrapped a towel around her and walked to the bedroom to see Ty breaking things as he threw things across the room, "Ty! What the hell are you doing?" He threw a book at the wall.

"It's not fucking fair!!" He cried.

"What?" Alex was scared to walk into the room.

"River doesn't deserve to die!!" Ty yelled breaking their mirror. Alex jumped with wide eyes. He was finally letting his emotions out.

"He won't die, Ty." Alex said. Ty looked at her with red eyes.

"Bullshit!!" He cried, "I know he will and I just…It's not fair!!"

"No it's not." Alex said, trying to be strong.

"He hasn't even been alive for long, Alex!!" Ty began to sob as he threw the books off of the shelf. "I hate god for doing this!!!!"

"Don't say that and don't ever say that, Ty." Alex said, "Stop trashing our room. It won't make RJ healthy."

"I don't care!!!" He sobbed hitting the wall. Alex went over to him and grabbed his arms. Ty looked at her with anger and pushed her away from him hard. She stumbled to keep her footing and glared at him.

"You're angry, Ty. You want to take your frustration out so you don't have to think about RJ. You're angry. Are you going to take it out on me now and hit me?" She asked. Ty's face softened.

"No." He said, "I would never do that."

"Then look at yourself, Ty." She said. "Stop doing this. This won't help RJ." Ty's entire body started to shake as he began to cry.

"I f-Feel so l-lost." He sobbed.

"I know, Baby." Alex pulled Ty into a hug. "It will be okay." Ty sobbed in to Alex's shoulder. She held him tighter. He was in so much pain. She wished she could help him. There was too much pain going on in this household.
