Week 12
Ty sat next to Alex watching her bright blue eyes read her magazine. She seemed very calm about this appointment. They were going to see the baby and make sure everything was going well. Ty was scared shitless, but he always was at these appointments.
"Mr. and Mrs. Davis?" Dr. White smiled at them. Alex jumped up.
"That's us." She said.
"I would have thought it was someone else." Ty winked putting his hand on her back. Alex rolled her eyes. He was such a pain sometimes.
"Good afternoon. I'm glad to see you back, but are you?" Dr. White asked.
"Wish the vasectomy had work, but thanks." Ty said. Dr. White chuckled.
"I'm sorry about that." he said, "But maybe this pregnancy was meant to happen."
"As long as it doesn't happen again." Alex said. Dr. White nodded.
"I completely understand." he said, "So how are you feeling, Alex?"
"More tired than usual. My morning sickness comes and goes.' She said. "I'm already ready to have this over and done with. Four children is more than plenty for me." Dr. White chuckled softly as he weighed Alex.
"is it possible for this to happen again?" Ty said. Dr. White shrugged.
"I'm not sure. We'll have to run a few tests to check your sperm count." he said.
"All right." Ty said helping Alex onto the table.
"Ready to get this thing going?" Dr White asked. Alex nodded as she lay down. Dr. White pulled her shit up over her bump.
"I hope the heartbeat is strong." She whispered. Ty kissed her knuckles. No matter how freaked out he was about having a fourth baby, he wanted everything to go well. he wanted this baby to be healthy and smart and utterly perfect.
"It will be." Ty smiled as Dr. White began to ultrasound. It was strange. no matter how many of these silly things Alex had, she always held her breath with anticipation. Seeing her child on the screen was so very powerful.
"There's the baby." Dr. White pointed to the tiny alien. Ty grinned brightly.
"He looks like dad." he said.
"Or she looks like mom." Alex chuckled. Dr. White clicked on a button and the soft sound of the baby's heartbeat filled the room. "Oh my." Ty closed his eyes. that sound was heaven.
"How does everything look?" He asked.
"Perfect. the baby is growing on schedule. The heartbeat is strong." Dr White said.
"Good." Alex smiled. Ty looked at the screen. He was no longer upset about the vasectomy not working. That child right there needed him. His flesh and blood needed him and he was going to be there every step of the way.

Week 14
She would be forty-one years old tomorrow. Alex couldn't believe her life was just passing her by. She may be pregnant, but it was still passing her by.
"MOMMY!!!!!!!!!" Jade screamed.
"Stop touching me!" Caroline cried. Alex closed her eyes. She could hear River laughing manically. Maybe if she ignored them, they would go away.
"God! You guys are so immature." jade stomped out of her bedroom.
"Well, you're crap!" Caroline cried.
"Crap!" River laughed.
"Stop touching my things! You have your own room! Touch your own things." Jade yelled.
"Touch this!" Caroline yelled ever louder. Alex heard a crash and the girls grunting. They were fighting. She knew they were. Alex got up and climbed the stairs.
"Jade Olivia and Caroline Ruby! Knock it off!" Alex grabbed Caroline by her belt and pulled her off of Jade.
"She went in my room!" Jade cried, "She read my diary!"
"I can't read!" Caroline yelled.
"Yes you can." Alex looked at Jade, "Since when do you have a diary?"
"Since forever." jade said. "Tell her to not go in my room!!"
"Enough of this, Girls." Alex said, "you are sisters. Start acting nice towards each other."
"I don't want her in my room!" Jade growled. Alex looked at Caroline.
"Do not go in her room unless she says it's okay, do you understand me young lady?" Alex frowned deeply.
"Fine." Caroline sat at the top of the stairs pouting. Alex looked at Jade.
"And you. You are the older sibling and you're supposed to be the role model." Alex said.
"Well tell her-"
"I didn't give you permission to speak. You know how I feel about Tattling." She said, "And fighting. If I ever see the two of you fighting like that again. I swear to god you two will be in serious trouble. Do you understand me?"
"Yes, Ma'am." Jade said. Alex looked at Caroline.
"Carrie?" She arched her eyebrow.
"Yes, Ma'am." Caroline muttered. Alex turned and picked River up.
"And you young man, don't be evil." She kissed his cheek walking down the stairs.
"No Eva." He said.
"Yes evil." She smiled sitting on the couch. River cuddled into her. "Mommy has a baby in her belly. you're gonna get a little brother or a little sister. We're hoping they aren't sick like you were." River mumbled baby talk as he closed his eyes.
"Alex?" Ty walked into the house.
"We're in the living room." Alex said. Ty walked din and smiled when he saw his wife and son cuddling on the couch.
"Well, isn't this a Kodak moment?" He asked.
"You wouldn't have said that ten minutes ago." Alex chuckled.
"bad day?" Ty asked sitting next to them. River smiled.
"The girls were at each other's throats all day long. I have about had it with them." Alex said. Ty rubbed Alex's belly.
"Once this baby comes, RJ and it will be at each other's throats as well." Ty said. Alex groaned.
"Please don't say that." Alex whispered. She didn't know if she could handle more fighting. Children were a blessing, but they were also little energy drainers.
