The Mistake

Chapter 5

Three weeks later, Alex was walking home from her shift. She was so tired, depressed, and sore. She wanted to go to bed and not wake up for a couple weeks. She sighed and unlocked her apartment door. To her suprise, she found it unlocked. She frowned slightly.

"God. You are so stupid! You forgot to lock the door when you left," Alex muttered to herself. She walked in and noticed that the lights were already on. She frowned and felt her heart start to race.

"Hello? Is someone here?" she called out in a frightened voice. Her eyes darted around the living room.

"Hi," Ty said softly. She jumped and turned around to find Ty sitting at her kitchen counter.

"Oh my God! You about gave me a heart attack," Alex said softly.

"Sorry. I used the key you gave me," Ty said holding the key up. Alex sighed.

"Why are you here? If you want your stuff, I am sorry, but I haven't gotten it together yet. I'm still been trying to deal with everything," Alex said looking at him. He stood up.

"Yeah tell me about it," Ty muttered. He heard Alex sigh and looked up at her.

"But I am not here for my stuff, Alex. I just wanted to talk," he said. Alex looked at him in shock.

"Why?" Alex asked softly.

"Alex, we can't just not talk about this," Ty began.

"It's been three weeks, Davis and you've kicked me out of your life and made mine a living hell," Alex cried.

"I know. Look, I want to talk about this. I was just really pissed off when you told me and I couldn't talk to you about it, because you and Bosco, you know," Ty said. Alex nodded.

"I told you. I thought it was you and he thought it was Faith. We were drunk, Ty," Alex began feeling a tears coming to her eyes. She didn't want to do this tonight. Not after the day she had had.

"Hey. I know and I didn't give you a chance to explain it to me. That's why I am here now. I just want to know how you could mistake Bosco for me?" Ty asked painfully.

"You don't understand! I was dreaming about you and Bosco was dreaming about Faith! We were both asleep, Ty. I never woke up!" Alex cried.

"You did this in your sleep? You weren't even awake?" Ty asked. Alex shook her head.

"No, I tried to tell you, but," Alex began softly. Ty sighed.

"Alex, I love you and I want to be with you, but we have to get over this hurdle in our," Ty began. Alex stared at him with tears in her eyes.

"I love you, too and I want to be with you, but how do I know that the next time something bad happens in our relationship, that you aren't going to walk out on me like you did before. You didn't even give me a chance to explain. I would never sleep with anyone again. I am just saying," Alex began.

"I know and I give you my word that I will be by you every step of the way," Ty said. Alex felt her stomach tighten.

"You said that right before I told you about this and look what you did. My life is very messed up right now, Ty and I seriously need you to be here for me," Alex said, tears fell down her cheeks.

"Hey. Don't cry. I thought you wanted to be together," Ty said a little confused at why she was crying. Alex took a deep breath and wiped her eyes quickly, but tears immediately fell down her cheeks, again.

"I do, but," Alex said. She looked at the floor and took a deep breath. She looked back into his eyes.

"I'm pregnant," she said just above a whisper. Ty felt his heart swell.

"You're what?" he asked in shock. Alex looked down at the ground.

"I'm pregnant," Alex repeated a bit louder this time.

"That's not funny, Alex," Ty said softly. Alex reached into the coat pocket and pulled out an envelope and then a test strip. She handed it him.

"I'm not lying," she said as he looked at her baby's sonagram and then the test strip. Ty closed his eyes and sighed heavily.

"Is it mine or," Ty began. Alex looked up in at him and knew he was hurting.

"I don't know," Alex sobbed. Ty sighed. He walked into the living room and sat on her couch. Alex sat down next to him.

"I am sorry, Ty. I went to the doctor today before my shift. I was a few weeks late and I figured that it was just from all the stress, but the docotor told me otherwise," Alex said softly.

"How far along?" Ty asked still staring at the baby.

"I am due around June 28, so I am about 3 or 4 weeks," Alex said quietly.

"That doesn't help," Ty groaned handing the sonagram and test strip back to her. She looked down at her baby.

"That's what I said. I want you to be the Father of this baby, Ty. I know you would make a great Father no matter what," Alex said softly. Ty put his head in his hands.

"Alex, I don't know what," Ty began. Alex sighed and stood up.

"I don't know what to do, either, Ty," she admitted softly as she began to pace.

"Alex, calm down. You can," Ty began. Alex glared at him.

"I can what, Ty? Get an abortion? Forget all about this little "mistake"?" Alex asked starin at him. Did he really think she would kill her own child? Ty sighed.

"Alex, I just," he began softly.

"I thought that maybe you would understand, but I guess not," Alex started sobbing. Ty stood up and walked closer to her.

"Alex, I don't want you to get an abortion. It was just a suggestion, because I didn't know if you," Ty said softly. Alex rested her head on his shoulder and he rubbed her back.

"I don't want to get rid of this baby, Ty. I love it. No matter who it's Father is, I love it," Alex said softly. Ty nodded.

"I am so scared. Bosco is a great guy, but I don't want him to be the Father of my baby. You are the only person I wanted to have children with," Alex cried softly.

"I know, Alex. I know. Just calm down," Ty said kissing her head softly.

"I have to tell Bosco and Faith," Alex said pulling away from him and wiping her eyes. Ty nodded.

"I know. You can when you are ready," Ty said softly.

"Are you guys still mad at each other?" Alex asked softly looking at the ground.

"Sort of, but we are getting back on talking terms, I guess. Faith is still sleeping in their guest bedroom, though," Ty said. Alex closed her eyes. She felt so awful.

"Will you go with me when I tell them?" Alex asked softly. Ty nodded.

"Yeah, if you want me to. When can we get a paternity test?" Ty asked.

"At 16 weeks," Alex said. Ty groaned not wanting to wait that long to find out if he was going to be a Father or if his one of his best friends was.

"It'll be ok," Ty whispered to her as he pulled her into a hug and she cried into his chest, again.
