The Mistake

Chapter 24

"What do you want to talk about?" Ty wondered casually. Alex gave him a look.

"Hmm... I don't know... The weather? Work? Oh, I know! How about our daughter and our relationship?" Alex said sarcastically putting her hands on her hips. Ty couldn't help, but smile. Her tiny figure looked very lop-sided with the large basketball belly.

"Ok. Stupid question. Sorry, but Alex it's really hard for me to get over what happened. I don't really know why. I mean Faith and Bos are fine, but it just feels different with us now," Ty began. Alex just looked at him, waiting for him to finish.

"I love you, Alex, and I do want to spend the rest of my life with you. Everything is perfect until I see Bosco and you in the same room," Ty started. Alex looked a little confused.

"Ty, if you think that will ever happen again, you couldn't be more wrong. I hope that you would trust me enough to know that," Alex cried.

"I trusted you before and look what that got me!" Ty cried back. Alex took a step back, her mouth slightly open.

"You know damn well that we didn't know what we were doing," Alex cried pointing a finger at him.

"I can't help it. I feel that I can't trust you," Ty began. Alex shook her head.

"Well, I'm sorry you feel that way, but just so you know I would never do that to you intentionally. And if you feel that you can't trust me then why and the hell did you ask me to marry you?" Alex wondered.

"Because I love you," Ty began.

"You can't just have a relationship with love, Ty. Trust has to be in it too,'' Alex told him. Ty stood staring at her looking lost.

"I'm sorry that Bailee and I have caused so much stress in your life. I know that's the only reason you asked me to marry you and I don't want to raise her in a home where her parents aren't married for the right reasons," Alex said softly. She slipped her engagement ring off her finger.

"I do love you, Alex," Ty whispered as she handed him the ring.

"I know," she said as tears feel down her cheeks. She turned on her heal and walked out of Sully's apartment, leaving Ty standing in the middle of the living room dumbfounded.

"Look at him," Faith giggled as her son sucked on her index finger. Bosco smiled and sat on the edge of his fiance's hospital bed.

"He's amazing, Faith. Thanks for being him into our lives," Bosco said kissing her forehead.

"Hey, I couldn't have done it without you," she teased. Bosco smiled.

"I know. I just glad everything worked out for us," he replied touching his son's dark brown hair. Zach cooed softly, causing his parents to smile at him proudly.

"Me too, Bos. I love you so much," Faith whispered kissing his lips.

"Ma is coming to see him tomorrow," Bosco said as he pulled away from her. Faith smiled.

"Good. She'll be a great grandma. She's wonderful with Em and Charlie when she gets to see them," Faith nodded.

"Aren't they coming tomorrow too?" Bosco asked. Faith nodded.

"Yeah, I didn't want them to come this late, besides they'll want to hold him and Zach will probably be more awake tomorrow," Faith said. Bosco nodded.

"Hey you, did you jerk of a fiance?" Kim wondered as Alex walked infront of the fire house. Kim was sitting on the curb looking very bored.

"Oh what do you mean fiance? I'm no longer engaged," Alex cried angry. Kim hopped up and looked at her friend.

"I'm lost? You broke up?" Kim asked. Alex shrugged.

"I'm really not sure. He said that he didn't trust me and I told him that we couldn't get married without trust and gave the ring back. I would tell ya what he said after that, but I left," Alex said softly.

"Oh Al, I'm sorry," Kim began.

"Me too. I love him more than anything and Bailee is going to be here anyday now. Kim, I don't know what I'm doing with my life anymore," Alex cried. Kim pulled her into a hug.

"It'll be ok, sweetie. You and Ty will be fine. You've already gotten through so much," Kim told her. Alex nodded.

"I don't know what else to do, though. The only thing I can think of is to move and never see Bosco, Faith, or sweet little Zach again and I don't think I could do that," Alex cried. She wiped her eyes and Kim nodded.

"Nobody's asking you to do that," she said.

"I should get home," Alex said softly.

"I'll drive you," kim nodded. Alex shook her head.

"No, I'll be fine," she said. Kim gave her one last hug and watched as her friend walked away. Alex turned the corner and walked towards her apartment. She doubted that Ty would show up there tonight. He probably hates me. She thought to herself. She suddenly felt a hand over her mouth and fear consumed her.

"Don't even try to fight me," a voice growled. Alex didn't move. She groaned and fell to the ground as she was knocked unconcious.

"Where is Alex? She isn't answering her phone," Kim wondered concerned.

"She probably shut it off," Jimmy told her. Kim shook her head and looked at her husband.

"She was walking home alone, Jimmy. This is New York," Kim said worriedly.

Alex awoke to a sharp pain in her lower abdomin and groaned.

"Everything will be ok, Bailee. We just have to stay strong," she tols her daughter as she touched her belly.

"Shit," she muttered to herself. She tried to stand but was too sore. She didn't know what the man had done to her, but she knew she was going to be bruised up a lot.

"Oh God," Alex groaned. She clutched her belly as she felt contractions and prayed someone would come to her rescue. She reached in her back pocket and was thankful to find the man hadn't taken her cell phone. She dialed the only number she couldn't think of.

"Davis," Ty answered.

"Ty, I need help... There was a guy and he... having contractions... West Street." was all Ty could make out through the bad reception.
