June 9th, 2003 Week 16 So DK had moved in. It was a big adjustment for both of them. DK kept his distance. He slept in his room most of the time. He wanted to make sure Alex knew he wasn't falling for her even though he was slightly. Alex tiptoed out of her bedroom in the middle of the night. She has had one of her nightmares again. She hated having them. She opened DK's door and looked at him. He looked so peaceful as he slept. She slowly crawled into bed with him. DK grunted and opened one eye. It was Alex, not a burglar or murderer. He slid his arm around her waist and sprawled his hand out on her belly. "What's wrong?" He mumbled. "Nothing." She whispered, "I just had a nightmare." "'Bout what?" DK yawned. "My father." She turned around in bed and looked at him. "How did your father die?" DK cleared his throat. He rarely thought about him. "He was a fire fighter. I come from a long line of firefighters and police men." DK said softly. Alex frowned at him, "There was a house fire, three houses were on fire actually. My father was there and um...there was a child on the third floor. My father ran in and the house collapsed around him." Alex stared at DK. "I didn't know he was a firefighter." She said. DK nodded. "Yup. He worked at the 55 also." He said, "we told him not to go into the house. It wasn't safe, but my father...knowing a child was in there, he wouldn't just stand there." "He sounds like a very nice man." Alex said. DK shook his head. "He was an amazing Firefighter, I'll tell you that, but a shitty father." DK said. "My uncle was like our father. The same week my father died, he got shot in the head in a drug bust." "Oh DK..." Alex frowned. "Its okay." he smiled weakly, "Your dad died nobly too." "I know..." She said, feeling DK's hand caress her stomach. Her face brightened up, "The baby is moving." DK stopped. "It's moving?" He asked, "What does it feel like?" "Like goldfish." She chuckled, "It's might be too light for you to feel." She pressed his hand into her belly, "Right there." "I can't feel anything." He said. "Shhh. don't move, DK." Alex whispered pressing his hand more firmly into her stomach. DK held his breath so he wouldn't move. Then he felt a very faint flutter against his fingers. His eyes widened, "Did you feel that?" DK nodded slowly. "W-Was that the baby?" he asked. Alex grinned and nodded. "Yes it was." She said in a whispered, "That was our baby." "Wow." DK whispered. Alex smiled watching his eyes. "I've been feeling that feeling a lot this week." She said, "It's only going to get stronger and soon you will be able to see the baby kick my belly on the outside." DK smiled weakly. "I can't wait for this, Alex." He said. "For what?" She asked him. "To become a father." DK admitted, "We're going to have great children." Alex arched her eyebrow as she looked at him. "Children?" She asked. DK cleared his throat uncomfortably. "I.I ah m-meant Child. You know.this baby you're carrying. Just one." He said. Alex smirked at him and nodded. "Oh right. This one." She said kissing him softly on his nose. DK sighed, "Why don't we try to get some sleep. It's my last day tomorrow and I need to be well rested." DK smiled and nodded. "Good night, Alex." He said. "Good night, DK." She whispered and cuddled into him a little bit. Was the children comment a slip of the tongue? For some reason Alex didn't think it was. She smiled with happiness as she drifted off to sleep. Twenty-four more weeks left. June 23rd, 203 Week 18 Alex grunted as she sat down in the chair in the waiting room. She was getting so uncomfortable as the days went on in her pregnancy. The days were starting to get really hot and that made Alex even more uncomfortable. DK handed her a magazine. "Enjoy." He said. Alex smiled weakly. "Thanks." Alex said, "I just want this appointment over with." "Me too." He looked at her. "Are we having a boy or a girl?" "Oh I don't know." Alex chuckled flipping through the magazine. "Oh come on. Ma says she knew the sex of each kid." He said, "She said she just had a feeling. You don't have a guess?" "Seriously I have no idea." She smiled at him; "I don't care what we have either." DK nodded. "Me either." He returned her smile. "A little boy would be cool, but a little girl would be cool too s long as she looked like you." "No no." Alex laughed, "I pity and child who looked like me." "No. Listen to this. I have it all figured out." DK said, "It will have your eyes and nose. Maybe your ears too, but the baby will have my hair and smile. How do you like that?" Alex chuckled. "Sounds perfect." She said. "Alexandra Taylor." The nurse called out. Alex sighed. "That's me." Alex grunted and got up slowly, "I swear to god. I'm going to get stuck one of these days." DK snickered. "I won't let that happen to you, Alex." He said as he slipped his arm around her waist. Alex smiled at him. See? There was chemistry between them. There was no denying that now. "Good morning, Alexandra." Dr. White said as they walked into the office. "Good morning." She smiled. "How are you feeling?" DK asked. "Very uncomfortable." Alex said, "Is it normal to be this uncomfortable and itchy? God, I'm very itchy." Dr. White chuckled. "Yes. Use some cocoa butter on your itching. It'll help with he stretch marks too." He said, "Let's get you weighed." Alex grimaced. "All right." She mumbled. Alex stepped up onto the scale and watched as Dr. White weighed her. "One forty." He said, "Very good weight." Alex sighed. "I've gained seventeen pounds." She said. DK chuckled. "You always did need some meat on you." He told her. Alex gave him a look. DK held his hands up in defense. "I surrender." "It's a perfect gain weight, Alexandra." He said, "Have you been feeling the baby moving around a lot?" Alex nodded. "Yeah. It's getting pretty bad this week." She chuckled, "I'm starting to feel the difference between its hands and head." "That's really great." Dr. White said helping Alex up on to the table. "The baby will start hiccuping soon and it'll feel strange at first, but it's fun. So, it can hear a lot on the outside so play music." "I do." DK grinned, "A little AC/DC." Alex chuckled. "It's not my type of music." She said lying down. "Let's get this ultrasound going because I'm convinced I'm having twins." Dr. White laughed. "You're not, but let's look." He said putting the gel onto Alex's belly. "I get a lot of women around the same week you are thinking they are carrying twins. If you were, you would know it." "No twins please." DK smiled. "Well, let's see." Dr. White said as he started the scan. Alex stared at the screen. She loved looking at the baby. She still couldn't believe she was pregnant. "How does the baby look?" DK asked as he took Alex's hand. She smiled at him. He looked so happy to see the baby. "Perfect." Dr. White said, "It looks very healthy and strong. Are you sure you want to know about the sex?" Alex nodded. "Yeah." She smiled. "Is it a boy or a girl?" Dr. White looked at them with a smile. "You're having a girl." He said. DK's eyes widened. "A girl?" He whispered. "Yup. Very beautiful baby girl." He said. Alex looked at DK with a huge smile upon her face. "The Kelly's get a girl." She said softly. DK looked at her with wide eyes. "W-We're having a girl, Alex." DK whispered. Alex nodded as she squeezed his hand gently. "Thank you so much." "It's my pleasure, DK. Really." She whispered. DK leaned down and kissed her lips softly. He couldn't believe he was having a little girl. His little princess. He couldn't wait to see her. *** Remember That if you want to talk to me (To ask questions about fics or general stuff), talk out my fic, give suggestions, or just talk about an episode of this show then join the below club.
