Week 16
Alex was beginning to waddle. She was starting to get uncomfortable wherever she walked. The twins were so active now. They were starting to kick. Alex hauled herself up the stairs in the station.
"Here." Kim chuckled as she extended her hand.
"Thanks." She said taking Kim's hand, "I never felt this large before and it's only going to get worse." Kim nodded.
"You got pretty big with Aidan if I remember correctly. Can't imagine this one." She said. Alex groaned loudly.
"Shut up." She said rubbing her belly. "I need to see Lt. Johnson...." Kim frowned.
"Good luck." Kim said, patting her best friend's back. Alex waddled to the office door and knocked softly. She sighed, feeling one of the twins kicking her bladder. That's just what she needed now.
"Who is it?" Lt. Johnson asked.
"Taylor, Sir." She said.
"Oh Come in." He smiled when he saw her, "Sit down."
"Thanks." Alex eased herself into the chair. Lt. Johnson cleared his throat.
"what can I do for you?" He asked.
"Well, as you can see, I can barely move now and it's only going to get more difficult." Alex smiled, "I'd like to be transferred over to dispatch so I can sit down and not endanger the twins." He nodded.
"Good. I was waiting for you to come ask me that." he chuckled. "I already signed everything and faxed it over to them."
"You did?" She asked with a chuckle. Lt. Johnson nodded.
"Sure did. We're going to miss you while your gone." He said, "but remember to take it easy. Only return to work when you're fully healed, fit, and your doctor says it's all right. I want a note from him." Alex chuckled softly, "I'm serious, Taylor."
"I know." She said crossing her heart with her fingers. "And I will bring one."
"Good." Lt. Johnson smirked.
"You're coming to the wedding right?" Alex asked. He nodded.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world. The Doherty and Taylor wedding." He said as the sirens went off. He sighed and stood up. "Why don't you stick around and clean up around here a little. Nieto did it last time and...well, you know how he cleans."
"Okay." Alex chuckled.
"Take care, Taylor." He said walking out of the room. Alex sighed softly, rubbing her stomach.
"You guys are lucky that I love you." She said slowly getting up. God, she already needed a nap. She couldn't believe how tired she was. Alex walked out and to the stairs to the bunks. A quick nap in her bed would do her some good. Little did she know, she'd fall asleep for five hours. No one wanted to wake her.

Week 18
Jimmy extended his hand and helped Alex out of the car. They had a doctor's appointment today and they ere trying to find out the sexes of the twins out. Jimmy was a little excited to find out but he wouldn't tell Alex that. He was sort of hoping for a boy and a girl. He would be happy with anything.
"I feel like a cow." Alex said walking into the doctor's office.
"I like cows." Jimmy replied.
"But I'm going to be walking down the aisle this fat." She said.
"Like I said, I like cows." Jimmy winked as he walked up to the desk, "Alexandra Taylor is here for her appointment. may we go in?" The secretary nodded.
"He's waiting for you." She said. jimmy looked at Alex and smiled.
"Are you ready?" He asked.
"Maybe he'll push my due date up some." Alex smiled.
"We'll see." Jimmy and Alex walked into Dr. White's office. he stood up and smiled.
"Good afternoon, Guys." He said.
"Hey." Alex smiled, rubbing her belly.
"How are you feeling?" He asked her as he helped her up onto the table. Alex groaned.
"I am so tired and cranky." She said, "A lot more than I was with my last pregnancy."
"Well, you weren't having twins last time." Dr. White said putting his stethoscope on. he rubbed it on his hand so it wasn't as cold. he slipped in under Alex's shirt and onto her belly. "Are you still at work?"
"I got transferred to a desk job." Alex said smiling at Jimmy.
"Great." Dr. White said, "Do you really want to find the sexes out?" Jimmy nodded.
"Need to get the name thing all ready." He said.
"I understand." Dr. White laughed as he pulled Alex's shirt up, "Okay, you know the deal. It's going to be cold."
"I know." She said. Dr. White squirted the gel all over her belly. Alex giggled softly.
"OKay. Let's see." Dr. White began the ultrasound. Jimmy's breath caught in his throat when he saw a little foot up on the screen. He could immediately tell what that was.
"That's the foot right?" He asked. Dr. White nodded.
"A nice sized foot." Dr. White said moving around a little bit, "All right. Here is Twin A." He said.
"Can you tell the sex?" Alex asked. Dr. White nodded.
"I can." He looked at Jimmy and then Alex, "Twin A is a girl." Alex's jaw dropped. She wasn't expecting a girl.
"Really?" She asked. Dr. White chuckled.
"Yes. It's a girl." he said. Jimmy stared at the screen. A little girl. How perfect.
"And twin B?" Jimmy asked, "Can you tell?"
"Let's see." Dr. White moved around until he got Twin B on the screen. He sighed slightly and shook his head. "This little one has his or hers legs crossed."
"Are you sure?" Alex frowned. Dr. White nodded.
"I can't tell. Maybe on your next visit we'll be able to tell." Dr. White said shutting the machine off. Jimmy sighed, looking at Alex.
"I'm sorry, Babe." He told her.
"It's all right, I suppose. We're having a little girl and a little unknown." Alex chuckled softly, "Maybe we'll keep the other sex a secret until the birth."
"So you're only with it?" Jimmy asked. He knew how her hormones where.
"Yes!! We're having Julia!" She sat up and threw her arms around him, "Joey is going to be so excited." Jimmy hugged his fiance tightly. He was so thrilled that he was getting a little girl. he couldn't wait to find out if the other was going to be a girl or a boy, but he'd just have to wait.
