Adam was pacing back and forth. Jasmine was running a high fever. She was throwing up. He had no idea what to do. She had never been this sick before. He didn't want the adoption agency stop by and see that he was clueless and take her away.

"Oh Jazzy, it's okay." He said picking up the screaming toddler.

"Daddy!!!" She sobbed.

"I know, Darling." Adam said as the doorbell rang, "Thank god." He ran to the door and opened it up.

"Aunty Alex is here." Alex said walking in, "oh poor baby. Let me have her."

"Gladly." Adam handed Jasmine to his sister, "She's been screaming for hours. I'm surprised the cops haven't been called."

"Well, she's sick, Adam." Alex cradled her niece as she sat down. She grabbed the thermometer off of the table and stuck it in Jasmine's ear. "Has she been pulling at her ear at all?"

"No." Adam mumbled as he watched his baby sister.

"Good. She probably doesn't have an earache then. Carrie gets terrible ones." Alex said as Jasmine screamed louder.

"Owie!!" She cried.

"It doesn't hurt." Alex pulled the thermometer out and sighed. It was one hundred and two. Alex settled jasmine on the couch and then went into the kitchen. Adam watched every move that she made.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"Giving her some Tylenol. She needs to get that fever down." Alex poured some cold apple juice into a bottle and then took the children' Tylenol she brought and poured the correct amount into the bottle. She shook it up.

"Why are you putting it in there?" Adam asked.

"Do you want to be cleaning up medicine form your walls and carpet?" Alex asked. Adam shook his head, "Then this is the best way. The apple juice won't hurt her stomach as much as Orange juice will. Trust me. I have three kids."

"Okay." Adam said as Alex walked back into the living room. Jasmine had calmed down a little bit. She was just sniffling now. Alex knelt down in front of her.

"Here you go darling. Drink this all up for Aunt Alex." She said softly. Jasmine took the bottle and began to drink in.

"I tired." Jasmine whimpered.

"Then go to sleep. Daddy and I will be right here waiting for you to get all better." Alex said softly as Jasmine lay back down. Adam looked at his sister thankfully.

"Aunt Alex?" Jasmine shook Alex who was curled up in Adam's arms on the floor, "Alex?" Alex slowly opened her eyes and saw Jasmine's dark eyes looking at her.

"Hello, Jazzy." She said.

"I hungry." Jasmine said stretching.

"Are you feeling better?" Alex sat up and felt Jasmine's forehead. IT felt cool to the touch. Jasmine nodded.

"I hungry." Jasmine said.

"Okay. Okay." Alex shook Adam, "Your daughter is hungry." Adam slowly opened his eyes.

"Is she okay?" He asked. Alex nodded.

"Her fever seems to be gone." Alex said, "Why don't you go make her some veggie soup. We don't want to load down her stomach." Adam nodded as he got up.

"Okay." He mumbled shuffling into the kitchen. Alex smiled at Jasmine.

"Are you sure you're okay?" She asked. The toddler nodded. "Good." Alex got up and cuddled her niece. She hated it when her children were sick and she hated it when her niece was sick.

Alex was slowly planning a birthday party for River. They were going to have a cook out even though it'd be freezing out.

"Can you believe our baby is going to be a year old soon?" Alex asked as she snuggled up to Ty. He sighed slightly.

"No. He's had a tough year hasn't he?" Ty said.

"Poor baby, but he's survived." Alex said, "That's the most important thing."

"Of course it is." Ty said. He kissed her cheek softly. "What are you thinking about?"

"Bosco." She said.
"You're thinking about Bosco after we had sex?" Alex laughed.

"Not in that way." She said, "He saved our son's life."

"Hard to believe Bosco did something nice." Ty chuckled. Alex was silent for a few minutes thinking. She squeezed her husband.

"Where do you think you'd be if we weren't married?" She asked. Ty groaned.

"I would be in my own personal hell as he stared a the gorgeous blond firefighter across the street." he said.

"Oh shut up." She chuckled pushing away from him.

"I'm serious. You and our three children are my heaven." Ty said. Alex smiled softly and looked at him.
"Speaking of that...We're stopping right?" She asked him.

"Stopping what?" He asked.

"Stopping at three. After the scare with RJ...I don't think I want another child." Alex said honestly. Ty nodded.

"Three is a perfect number." he touched her hair, "What do you want to do about it?"

"If I get fixed, it's a major operation." Alex's blue eyes sparkled, "But if you, it's just a snip and you're on your way."

"You want me to snip my goods." Ty groaned.

"It's so much easier." Alex said caressing his chest. Ty sighed softly picturing the doctors snipping off his penis. he knew that's not what they did but it freaked him out. He sighed and nodded.

"If you're sure you don't want anymore, I'll call my doctor and make an appointment." Ty said. Alex grinned.

"I'm sure I don't want anymore." She said, "Three is plenty."

"Are you really really sure, Alex?" Ty asked. She nodded.

"Yeah. I'm sure." She said, "I want to enjoy the three we have." Ty smiled nervously and hugged her.

"All right." He said, "My goods are getting cut off."

"Oh no!" Alex mocked a look of shock, "What am I going to do?"

"I think you have some tools in your bedside table." Ty said. Alex blushed and smacked him.

"I do not." She said, "I think We should have some more loving so I don't forget what it's like to make love to you." Ty grinned turning around.

"I like that idea." He said pulling her tightly against his body. Alex sighed with happiness. Just because they weren't going to have more kids it didn't mean they couldn't have a lot of fun.
