An entire year had passed for the family. So much can happen to a family in a year when you had a child. Aidan was getting so big and talking up a storm and also back-talking too much. He was such a dare devil causing Alex and Jimmy to take him to the emergency room three times for stiches.

Alex and Jimmy had gotten so many more shifts at work that it was never ending. They were also busy with the wedding. It was less than a year away. There was so much to plan. Alex wanted a blue themed wedding. It was a winter wedding so she thought it would fit.

Alex climbed down the stairs with the clothes hamper on her hip She had no idea how Aidan could make so many dirty clothes. He wasn't even two yet. At least he wasn't a sixteen year old girl. He was a rotten child...that Alex loved.

"Mommy!!! Mommy!!!" Aidan yelled from he kitchen table. Alex sighed as she walked in.

"Child, I have ears. There is no reason to yell." Alex said.

"More food." Aidan said looking down at his plate. Alex chuckled.

"How do you ask?" She asked him. Aidan giggled softly.

"Ahh...Ahhh. Peas, Momma." Aidan said. Alex smiled and nodded.

"All right, you can get you food." Alex took his plate and started putting more Mac-and-cheese onto the plate. She heard the front door open. Aidan's face brightened up immediately.

"Daddy!!!" Aidan cried. He jumped off of the seat and ran into the living room.

"There's my boy." Jimmy scooped him up and threw Aidan into the air, "Were you a good boy for Momma?" Aidan nodded.

"Yes, sir." he lisped. Alex walked out to greet her fiancée.

"He was tolerable." She said as she kissed Jimmy softly. "how was your day? Big fires?" Jimmy shook his head as he brought Aidan back out to the kitchen.

"It was so slow it was laughable. We played a little ball." Jimmy said, "Mac-and-cheese?" Alex nodded.

"Yeah. I can make you something else if you want." She said.

"No. I'm fine." He sat down with Aidan. "I had a dream when I was sleeping in my bunk." Alex chuckled as she dished him up some Mac-And-cheese.

"Oh yeah? A naughty dream?" Alex asked smirked.

"No. no naughty dream. I'm saving that for tonight." Jimmy winked, "No the dream was about you pregnant."

"Oh you mean nightmare." Alex said as she started the dishwasher. Jimmy shook his head.

"No. It was pretty wonderful. You were pregnant with twins." He said. "We had two girls and we were happy."

"Twins. God, I can't even imagine that." She said looking at him. Jimmy seemed to be frowning. She cocked her eyebrow. "What?"

"You do want more kids right?" Jimmy asked. Alex looked at him.

"I guess so." Alex frowned.

"You guess so?" Jimmy asked. "I want one more. I would give anything for another child. A girl."

"A girl...it would be nice. Can we talk about this in like a year?" Alex said.

"A year?" Jimmy frowned. "You want to wait a year?"

"At least." She said, "We're getting married in January. I would like to be able to fit into my wedding dress and plus, Aidan is only two. I would like him to be a little bit older." Jimmy chuckled as he flashed her his award winning dimples.

"You've really thought this through haven't you?" he asked.

"Yeah I have." She said.

"Momma, no bebe." Aidan said. Alex smirked at Jimmy.

"See? He's not ready either." She said. Jimmy held up his hands.

"All right. All right." Jimmy smiled softly, "I will drop the baby thing." He wouldn't forget it though. He really wanted another child. he wanted to see Alex's belly swell with another child. he would press her about it again in a few weeks.

Tomorrow Aidan was turning two. Alex couldn't believe it. Her baby was growing up so fast. It made her sad, but yet it made her proud.

"You guys having a nice dinner for him?" Kim asked as she went into her closet. Alex nodded.

"Yeah. We're going to take him out." She smiled, "I can't believe he's two."

"It's amazing when they age." Kim said running her hand through her hair. Alex's eyes widened as she saw something sparkle on Kim's finger.

"Oh my god." She grabbed Kim's hand and saw a very large diamond on it. "Oh my god."

"You like?" Kim asked.

"I love!! It's huge!! When did he propose??" Alex asked.

"Last night. I wanted to call you so badly but well...we got busy." Kim giggled with a blush, "I can't believe I'm engaged."

"I can't believe You're engaged either." She hugged Kim, "I'm so happy. This is so great." Kim smiled hugging her back.

"Me too. it feels so wonderful to be happy." Kim said. "it's been awhile."

"I know." Alex said, "How the two of you set a date yet?"

"No, but we're thinking about next summer. August maybe."

"Whatever date it will be, it'll be amazing!" Alex was grinning from ear to ear. She couldn't believe Kim was engaged. She better not get married before her.

Alex grabbed a plate from the buffet line. She and Kim was on their lunch break.

"So, I was thinking of having you my maid of honour." Kim said.

"You're already thinking about that stuff?" Alex asked as she piled pasta onto her plate.

"Well, yeah." Kim blushed, "Will you be my maid of honour?"

"Well, you are mine so I guess it's only fair." Alex winked.

"God, I never thought this food was good before, but today...Today I'm starving." Kim said. Alex nodded in agreement.

"Yeah. I need to go food shopping. I swear the boys are eating me out of house and home." Alex said. Kim laughed.

"Well, you're feeding a kid of mine." Kim giggled, "After he's done with your fridge, he comes to mine."

"So I've heard." Alex said as she sat down. "You guys need to come over for dinner sometime. I mean you and Timothy."

"Yeah. We will." She smiled softly.

"Does Jimmy know about him?" Alex asked.

"I haven't told him that we're engaged." Kim sighed, "he will flip don't you think?" Alex shook her head.

"You didn't flip when he got engaged with Brooke or me...wow, he's been engaged a lot hasn't he?" Alex said. Kim giggled.

"Well, yeah, but only one of his marriages will last." Kim said.

"I hope so." Alex said as there were cried for help.

"I need help!!! he's choking!!" A woman screamed. Alex turned to see a woman holding a toddler.

"Shit." Alex cursed and got up, "I'm a paramedic." She took the boy from his mother. She held him against her knee and began to pound on his back. Kim ran up to them.

"Should I call this in?" She asked. Alex nodded.

"Come on. what did he choke on?" She asked.

"A h-hot dog." The woman cried.

"Okay." Alex mumbled giving the boys back one last blow. The hot dog popped out and the kid started to cry.

"Thank god." She cried grabbing her son. Alex sighed.

"Let's take him to the hospital and just have the doctor make sure everything is all right, okay?" Alex asked.

"Yes. Thank you." Alex and Kim led the mother and son. Alex looked back at their table that was filled with food. She sighed deeply. She was starving. Maybe after they dropped them off at the hospital, she could finally fill her stomach.
