Week 24

So far married life had been wonderful. Alex couldn't believe she was Mrs. Alexandra Doherty now. It seemed like they had been engaged for so long. Now, they weren't. Alex waddled into the living room and saw Jimmy sitting at the computer.

"Looking for some porn?" She chuckled.

"No." Jimmy smiled, "I'm trying to find a name for twin B."

"Care to let me in on the fun?" She pulled up a chair and eased herself down with a groan. Jimmy pointed to the screen.

"I found this website www.babynames.com and it seems to be really cool. They have a message board and I can ask for advice." He said.

"What did you type?" Alex peered at the screen. Jimmy pulled up his thread.

"Hi. I'm new here. My wife, Alexandra, and I, James, are pregnant with twins. She's due in sixteen weeks." Jimmy said, "We know the sex of one twin and we're naming her Julia Morgan. Morgan is my wife's middle name. We have two sons Joseph James and Aidan Maxwell. We would like a first name to start with an A and a J. Thank you for any help."

"That was good." Alex smiled, "Has anyone responded yet?"

"Nope." He said.

"Hit refresh." Alex chuckled. Jimmy did and there was one post.

"Oh! This DancingStace girl says she likes our kids names and suggests Joshua Ryan and Annabelle Avery." He said. Alex wrinkled her nose.

"I like Ryan and Avery." She said with a smile rubbing her belly. "We should pick a unisex middle name since Morgan is."

"Ryan and Avery are unisex." Jimmy pointed out.

"I know, but let's see what other people suggest." Alex wiggled, "Refresh again." Jimmy obeyed and saw another response.

"Josephine Esperanza Celeste and Jacob Eugene Henry this Panya person suggested." Jimmy said.

"Put Josephine on the maybe girls list." She said with a smile, "Put DancingStace's Ryan on both lists. I sort of like that more."

"Okay." He chuckled writing something down. Alex took the mouse and refreshed.

"Blue_Rose suggested some great ones." Alex smiled.

"What that?" Jimmy asked.

"Get this. They say since the first twin has a unisex name, I thought it'd be nice for the next twin to have a unisex name. Keeping that in mind, I really like Amelia Ryan, Juliette Chandler, Andrew Dylan, and Jonathan Avery. I hope you like them." She looked at him and grinned, "They hit the nail on the head. You like any?"

"Actually yeah." Jimmy smiled, "Amelia Ryan and Jonathan Avery." Alex grinned brightly.

"Those were the ones I love too." She said, "Type thank you."

"All right." Jimmy pulled the keyboard closer, "Thank you DancinStace and Blue_Rose, your choices were great! We chose Amelia Ryan and Jonathan Avery. We think they go well with Julia Morgan. We will let everyone know if Amelia or Jonathan arrives with Julia when they decide to come."

"Jonathan and Amelia." Alex sighed softly, "Those are wonderful." She looked at her belly. "I think Julia and AJ approves of them." Jimmy put his hands on her belly and felt movement. He smiled softly. He loved feeling the babies move beneath his hands. He's have to keep Alex knocked up all the time.

Week 26

This was their last chance to get away before the twins came. They both had three days off, the boys were with Kim, and Jimmy had rented a cabin deep in the woods. They both needed some romantic time together with out fighting fires or bathing sticky children.

"God this is exactly what we need." Alex said as they pulled up to the cabin.

"A lot of hot sweaty sex." Jimmy smiled. Alex laughed softly opening her car door.

"Don't induce labour, James." She said hauling herself out.

"I won't, Mrs. Doherty." Jimmy rushed around to her side. "I just like watching you slide down my fireman's pole."

"Up and down. Up and down." Alex playfully winked as she went to the door and unlocked it. She tossed her purse on a near by chair and looked around, "It's beautiful in here."

"Yeah." Jimmy put their suitcases down and looked at Alex, "no Aidan. No Joey."

"Just us." Alex turned and smiled. "There's no need to turn the heat on cause its about to get hot in here."

* * *

Alex groaned loudly as she lay next to her husband. Jimmy stared at her. God, she wore pregnancy well. Sure she had stretch marks and she was huge, but everything about her Jimmy loved. Every little purple mark he loved. Every time he saw movement beneath her skin he fell in love with her even more.

"God, I didn't think I could have that many orgasms in an hour." Alex laughed softly.

"Pregnant women are wonderful creatures." Jimmy smiled at her. Alex rubbed her sweaty stomach.

"That we are. That we are." She said as her cell phone began to ring.

"You were supposed to turn that thing off, Pumpkin belly." Jimmy said.

"I know." Alex winked as she picked it up, "It's Kim... Hello?"

"Oh god, thank god you picked up." Kim said. The reception was terrible.
"Kim speak up. I can barely hear you." Alex sat up.

"Alex, We're at the hospital." Kim said.

"What? Did you say hospital?" Alex blocked her other ear as if it'd help her hear Kim better.

"Alex, It's Aidan. He's-" Just then the phones cut out.

"What? Kim?? Kim are you there??" Alex got out of bed. "Son of a bitch!" Alex threw her phone down, "Something happened. I think Aidan is in the hospital." Jimmy sat up.

"What?" He asked.

"I don't know!!" Alex cried. "Kim said they were in the hospital and said It's Aidan and then the phones cut out! Something happened to Aidan!!"

"Calm down. We'll go back into town and find out what happened." Jimmy said. Alex was now bawling as she got her clothes back on.

"Something happened to my baby!" She cried. Jimmy took her by her shoulders.

"Alex, calm down or something will happen to the twins." Jimmy said, "We'll be at the hospital in an hour. Meanwhile you can keep on trying Kim's cell." Alex nodded slowly as she took in a few deep breaths.

"All right." She whispered.

The hour drive was the longest hour in either of their lives. As soon as they were at Mercy they ran inside.

"Procter, My son." Jimmy said, "They said Aidan was brought in here."

"Is he okay??" Alex asked.

"He's in curtain area three. He should be fine." She said. Jimmy grabbed Alex's hand and ran to the curtain area. Aidan was sitting on the hospital bed with a bandage on his head. His face brightened up when he saw his parents.

"Look. Owie." He pointed to the bandage. Kim stood up.

"He um...He received seven stitches in his forehead." She said. Alex gathered Aidan in her arms and hugged him tightly. Jimmy narrowed his eyes as he looked at his ex.

"What the hell happened, Kim?" He asked. Kim looked like she was about to burst into tears but Jimmy didn't care.

"God, I turned my back for a moment. I was running him a bath and the next thing I knew I hear a crashing and I find Aidan laying at the bottom of the stairs." Kim said.

"My poor Baby." Alex kissed Aidan's cheek.

"He slipped and fell down the stairs." Kim said, "He um...He has a concussion."

"You're so fucking irresponsible, Kim!" Jimmy snapped, "He is two years old! He needs to be watched at all times!"

"Excuse me?" Kim stared at him. "You're going to lecture me on being irresponsible? You've got to be kidding me."

"You are lucky he didn't get brain damage or break his neck when he fell!" Jimmy yelled.

"Jimmy, you're overreacting. Aidan is fine." Kim said.

"Fine?" Alex asked, "He has seven stitches! You dented my baby!" Kim stared at Alex in disbelief.

"It's not like I pushed him down the stairs." She said.

"You might as well have." Alex said cradling her son.

"Doca gave me a lolli, Momma." Aidan said. He felt fine. He didn't know why his parents were so upset. Kim took in a deep breath.

"I'm going to leave the three of you alone. You clearly are upset and pregnancy hormones are taking over." Kim said trying to take the higher ground. "I will check in with him later to make sure everything is okay." Jimmy ignored Kim and sat with his son. Kim sighed and left the curtain area. They were just spooked. That's all it was. They weren't really upset with her...Kim hoped.
