Every day, Alex called Kim. She wanted to make sure her best friend and the baby with in her stayed happy and healthy. Sure it probably was getting annoying but Alex didn't care. She always have been and always will be over protective when it came to Kim. So was her husband. That would probably bother a lot of women, but not Alex. She knew Jimmy was over Kim in the bedroom aspect and that they would always be friends.

"Two smelly babies. One sick momma." Alex chuckled as she tossed the twin's diapers into the trash.

"I can help." Aidan said. Alex shook her head.
"I have it done." She said. Aidan's face fell, "The next dirty diaper you may help out with. Deal?"

"Deal." Aidan said skipping out of the room. Alex looked back at the twins and laughed.

"You have a very strange brother." Alex picked Julia up and put her in the play pen and then she did the same with Amelia. The girls began to squeal and grab at each other. Alex smiled. It was so entertaining to watch the twins.

"MOMMY!" Aidan screamed from upstairs. It wasn't the usual scream she heard from upstairs. It made the blood in her veins stop cold.

"oh god! Mom!" Joey yelled. Alex jumped to her feet and ran upstairs.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"He's bleeding. He's bleeding a lot!" Joey cried. Alex pushed past him and ran into the bathroom where Aidan was screaming. The colour drained from her face. Aidan was sitting on the floor, covered in blood. A pair of scissors was lodged in his wrist.

"M-M-Mommy!" Aidan sobbed. Alex forgot her medical training. Was she a firefighter? Or a paramedic? Or just a mother?

"C-Call 9-1-1." Alex grabbed a towel and rushed to his side. She careful wrapped it around the pair of scissors, "I c-can't take them out, Baby. They need to stay in there."

"M-Mommy!" Aidan screamed.

"I know…I know." Alex whispered. She watched her son's eyes roll into the back of his head, "Oh god, don't, Aidan! Aidan, wake up for mommy. Please, Baby." Alex's hands were shaking as she was trying to keep the scissors from moving. She did remember removing them could make everything worse. She felt faint herself. What else int his family could go wrong? They had the worse luck. Off in the distance, she could hear the familiar sirens. "Hurry. Hurry."

Jimmy stared at the Foozball Table. DK threw the ball onto the table and the madness began. The men flung the balls back and forth.

"You're going down." DK hissed.

"Bite my ass, Kelly." Jimmy chuckled as he slammed the ball into DK's goal.

"Son of a bitch." DK moaned.

"You can't beat me. I'm the master of this. You should know that by now." Jimmy said picking up his soda.

"Hey Jimmy, Joey is on the phone." Joe held up the phone. He nodded and took the phone from him.

"Hey, Son." Jimmy said. As soon as Joey heard his father's voice, he burst into tears, "Joey? What's wrong?"

"D-Dad…" Joey sobbed.
"Joseph, what's wrong?" Jimmy asked, "Where's Alex?"

"It's Aidan." Joey said. Jimmy took in a deep breath.

"What's wrong with Aidan?" Jimmy asked.

"He's at the hospital. Th-There was so much blood." Joey whimpered.

"Oh god." Jimmy's knees were weak, "I'll be there in ten minutes." Jimmy hung the phone up and immediately ran downstairs. He didn't bother to grab his Jacket or tell anyone he was leaving. Jimmy ran to his car. Blood? Why was there a lot of blood? What happened to Aidan now? Couldn't one week in their lives go well? Jimmy sped to the hospital. He could careless if he got pulled over. He would have ignored the sirens. Jimmy jumped out of his car as soon as he got there. He ran into the emergency room. "Procter, Where is he?"

"Your wife is over there." She pointed over to the chairs. Alex looked up when she heard her husband.

"Oh jimmy." She ran to him.

"What happened? Joey was hysterical." Jimmy said. Alex wiped her eyes and took in a deep breath.

"He was upstairs and I was downstairs. I don't know what happened exactly, but when I went up there, he had driven a pair of scissors into his wrist." She said.

"Oh god." Jimmy closed his eyes.

"He must have been playing with them and fell…." Alex whispered.

"How bad is it?" he asked her.

"He severed an artery and tore some tendons. He lost so much blood." Alex whispered, "They have him in surgery right now trying to repair the damage."

"Let's go to the surgical waiting room." He said taking her hand.

"This is all m-my fault." Alex whispered.

"No it's not." He said.
"Yes it is." Alex said, "I should have been keeping a better eye on him."

"he is almost four years old." Jimmy said pushing her blonde hair off of her face. "You cant keep an eye on him all the time especially with twins."

"Even if I had seven kids, I still should be able to keep an eye on him. If I had, he wouldn't have gotten hurt." Alex said.

"He would have found a way to get hurt." Jimmy said, "You know how he is."

"Lets…Let's just get upstairs." Alex said.

The surgery felt like it took days but in really didn't. Alex hated sitting in the waiting room. She always hated it. She was sure her boy was going to come out of it all right, but she was still petrified.

"Here comes his surgeon." Jimmy said as he looked out the door. Sure enough. Dr Wentworth walked into the room with a small smile.
"Aidan came out of surgery just fine. The damage wasn't as bad as we initially thought." He said. The parents both breathed a sigh of relief. "He will still need to do PT, but he is really lucky."

"Thank you. Thank you so much." Alex said.

"We're going to keep him here for a couple of days though. He did loose a lot of blood. We gave him some, but he will be weak for a little bit." He informed them Jimmy nodded.

"Can we go see him?" he asked.

"Of course." Dr. Wentworth smiled as he led them towards the recovery room. "He should be in and out."

"Thanks." Jimmy said as they walked into the room. Aidan looked so tiny and pale as he lay in that bed.

"Oh Aidan." Alex rushed over to his bedside and kissed his forehead. Aidan stirred in the bed and slowly opened his eyes.

"Ow." He mumbled.

"I know you're hurting." Jimmy said looking at his boy.

"You don't have to try to entertain us." Alex said, "You can go back to sleep if you want."

"Okay." Aidan mumbled as he closed his eyes. Alex sighed deeply. Her poor baby was in pain and too tired to stay awake. It broke her heart but she was so thankful he was going to be okay.
