The viewer blinked to life and Alex sat there in his dark glasses.
"Jen this better be important you know this isn't to be used for social calls only Time Force business and I'm sure that's not why you're contacting me."
"I guess not." Jen said reaching for the button.
"Jen, wait I'm sorry." Alex said his voice turning gentle. "What's going on?"
"I'm pregnant Alex."
"Jen, have you told Wes?"
"He knows."
"Not about the baby. You know what I'm talking about."
"No, I haven't told him. I don't think I should."
"So what do you want from me?"
"I wanted to know about the genetic restructuring research that's going on, have they gotten close to a solution?"
"No, the women in the current study started having miscarriages in their sixth month. We haven't had a woman carry a baby to term yet. Chances are you won't either."
"I have to, Wes will be heartbroken."
"Jen even if you could carry the baby that long there's a good chance you could die."
"I'll take that chance over losing this baby."
Alex sighed heavily, "Jen I'll see what I can do to save both you and your baby."
"Thank you Alex. You don't know how much this means to me."
"Yes I do, I would have done it if it were my child."
Jen was shocked. She didn't realize how much Alex still loved her.
"Jen, I'll come in a week myself and help you any way I can. Meet me at the beach where you first landed at 0800."
"All right, I'll be there."
