Week 28

Alex walked down the hallway with a groan. At least she wasn't having hot flashes, but the aching body was something to complain about.

"Davis, you have a phone call on line three." Blaire said.

"Don't people know I'm at work?" She sighed.

"Apparently not." Blaire chuckled putting her headset back on. Alex walked to her station and sat down. She put her headset on.

"Alex Davis, how may I help you?" She asked.

"Baby, it's me." Ty said. Alex's face brightened up.

"Hey." She said, "What's up?"

"Jade is in the hospital." Ty said. Alex froze.

"What do you mean?" Alex frowned, "What happened? Is she okay?"

"She fell down the stairs at school and sprained her ankle." He told his wife, "She's fine. A little taken up."

"I'll be there in twenty minutes, okay?" Alex asked.

"You don't have to." Ty said.

"My baby is in the hospital. I'm coming." Alex took her head set off, "Blaire, jade is in the hospital with a sprained ankle. I need to go."

"Go go." Blaire said.

Alex rushed into the emergency room. She didn't like the feeling of not knowing exactly what was wrong with Jade.
"Proctor, where's my daughter?" Alex asked.
"She's in Curtain Two." She said. Alex rushed over there and saw Jade lying in bed with her foot elevated.
"Oh Sweetheart." Alex said. Jade's lip trembled slightly.
"I fell." She said.
"I know, Baby." Alex kissed Jade's forehead, "Where's daddy?"
"Getting Carrie and RJ some food." She said. Alex sat down next to her daughter.
"How are you feeling?" Alex asked. Jade shrugged.
"My ankle hurts, but they gave me medicine." She said, "They said I need to rest and not go to school tomorrow."

"That's right." She said, "I'll stay home from work tomorrow and we'll relax together." Jade smiled weakly.
"I like that." She said. Dr. Maxwell walked up to them with a pair of crutches. He smiled at Jade.

"Let's see if you can handle this." He said handing them over to Jade. Jade took them and Alex helped her off of the bed.

"This sucks." Jade muttered.
"Don't say suck." Alex scolded her as She watched her daughter struggle on the crutches.
"Well, you be on these things." Jade said using them to walk to the admit desk.
"Well, look at that." Ty said walking down the hallway with RJ on one hip, "You have four legs."

"She's not in the mood." Alex said hauling her body up.

"Hi Mommy." Caroline grinned.
"Hi Baby." Alex winked at her, "Jade just needs to get home and relax in bed." Ty nodded going to the admit desk to sign jade's papers. "We'll stop at the market on our way home and pick up some ice cream for later." Alex watched jade's face brighten up. A little ice cream always made people feel better.

Week 30

As Jade's ankle healed, Alex planned a huge party for River. She couldn't believe he was two years old and almost a big brother. Today they were throwing that party.

"Momma!!!" River whined loudly from his highchair.

"Shhhh." Alex hissed trying to finish decorating his cake.

"Down! Now!" He cried. Alex turned around with a deep frown.

"I have him." Ty unhooked the tray and grabbed River, "You can help me tie the balloons all over the living room."

"Don't clump all the colours together." Alex warned. Ty chuckled.

"Don't worry, Alex." He said, "I've decorated for a party before you know."

"That's what I'm afraid up." She said picking up the cake and going to the fridge. Ty gave River a look.

"Mommy doesn't know what she'd talking about." He said. River bounced trying to reach the strings of the balloons. "Which one do you like better? The green one or the blue one?" River stared at the balloons. He was deep in concentration.

"Green." He said, "Green."

"I heard you." he said tying four green balloons onto River's chair. River squealed.

"Like!" River said climbing up onto the chair.
"Good." Ty said walking to the door. He saw Bosco and Faith climb out of the car. Vincent jumped out behind them. Faith unbuckled Sofia from her car seat. "Vincent is here."

"Good." river said stuffing some cheese doodles into his mouth. Ty opened the front door.

"Welcome." Ty said.

"Thanks." Bosco said pushing Vincent up ahead of him. Vincent held out a gift.

"We bought River something at toys-R-Us." He said.

"Perfect." Ty took the present from the child, "Go right in." Within twenty minutes Ty's home was filled to the brim withs creaming children.

"Don't you love birthday parties?" Faith asked. Alex shrugged as she bounced Sofia on her belly.

"I don't like the clean up, but being pregnant that's Ty's job." She snickered kissing the seven month old's cheek, "You're so precious. I cannot wait until Nathaniel comes. Maybe you two will hook up."

"Lord, I don't want to even think about that." Faith said, "It's hard enough keeping Vincent's hands off of Jade."

"Oh it's cute." Alex said handing Sofia back to her mother, "Puppy love it great." She looked at Jade and Vincent. They were whispering back and forth.

"What are the chances Nate will be sick too?" Faith asked.

"Likely." Alex sighed, "But we know now to test right away so if he does need a bone marrow transplant we can get it quicker than we did with River and maybe heed off some sickness."

"Bosco would be happy to donate again if he's a match." Faith said volunteering her husband. Alex chuckled gently.

"Thank you. We appreciate it." Alex said, looking at River. He looked so happy and healthy now. Who knew he had been so sick earlier in his life. Alex was so very thankful Bosco came through to them. She truly hoped Nathaniel wouldn't be sick.
