Chapter 26

Ty hurried into Alex's hospital room. She was sitting up in her bed and rubbing her swollen belly.

"What's wrong? Is it the baby?" Ty asked. Alex shook her head.

"No, it's me. I'm sorry! I'm sorry that I was walking by myself in a dark alley late at night. I'm sorry that I didn't get a ride home from someone at the house or called you. I'm sorry that I yelled at you and gave you the ring back... And most of all I'm sorry that I slept with Bosco and that we're still suffering from it! I love you and I want to marry you. I just want you to trust me and love me and Bailee. That's all I want and I'm scared that I'm going to lose Bailee and you," Alex sobbed. Ty looked at her in shock. He'd never seen her so scared or upset.

"Alex, listen to me, everything is going to be ok. All right? Bailee is going to be just fine and I'm not going anywhere," Ty told her grabbing her hand.

"But Bailee's too early," Alex began.

"Honey, she's only a few weeks early and the doctors are still trying to stop your labor, so everythign is going to be ok," Ty said, nodding. Alex looked at him worried.

"I just... I don't know what I would do if something happened to her," Alex whispered.

"I know the feeling. When you called me earlier... God, Alex, you scared the hell outta me!" Ty cried. Alex smiled softly.

"Sorry about that," she said. Ty smiled and ran a hand across her cheek. Dr. Wilson walked into the room and cleared her throat. Alex and Ty looked at her.

"How are you feeling?" Dr. Wilson asked. Alex nodded.

"Sore, but I haven't had any contractions for a while," she said, hopeful. Dr. Wilson nodded.

"That's a good sign. I'm going to check you out and make sure that everythings all right," Dr. Wilson began.

"Are you checking for..." Ty began. Dr. Wilson nodded.

"Any signs of assault, yes," Dr. Wilson nodded. Alex bit her lip and Ty nodded.

"I'll wait outside," he said. Alex gave his hand a squeeze.

"Wait. I need a police officer present and I believe that she would feel most comfortable with you in here," Dr. Wilson began. Alex nodded looking up at Ty.

"Please," she said with tears in her eyes. Ty nodded.

"All right," he said and Dr. Wilson began the exam.

"Alex is in labor? Are you serious?" Faith asked with a laugh. She was resting comfortably in her hospital bed. Bosco nodded.

"Yeah. Davis is pretty worried about them, but I talked to him and I think that we're actually ok," Bosco said. Faith smiled.

"Good. Honey, I'm really glad," Faith said kissing his lips gently.

"Hey you two starting on another one all ready?" Jimmy teased as he and Kim walked into the room.

"Isn't it after visiting hours?" Bosco groaned. Faith laughed.

"Come on in guys. Did you hear about Alex? She's in labor," Faith smiled.

"Yeah, how's she doing? She didn't need stitches or anythign right?" Kim asked worried. Faith and Bosco shared a look.

"What are you talking about?" Bosco asked.

"Alex was attacked tonight walking to her apartment. That's how she went into labor," Kim said. Faith's eyes widened.

"Oh my God! I have to go see her!" Faith cried throwing the covers back.

"Hey!" Bosco, Jimmy, and Kim all cried at her.

"What?" she asked sitting up slowly throwing her fet oer the edge of the bed.

"You just had a kid!" Jimmy cried.

"It's not my first time. Just give me my damn wheelchair! Alex needs me and Kim right now!" Faith cried stubbornly. Kim smiled and got the wheelchair. There was no stopping Faith, especially after she'd just given birth to a Boscorelli. Nothing could stop her.

"I have all good news, Alex. Your contractions have stopped and there was no presence of any assault," Dr. Wilson told her. Alex sighed in relief and Ty kissed her temple.

"So I can go home?" Alex asked.

"I want you to stay the night hooked up to a monitor, but tomorrow if everythigns still fine, you'll be able to go home and rest," Dr. Wilson told her. Alex nodded happily.

"Thank you, Dr. Wilson," Alex smiled rubbing her belly. Kim and Faith knocked on the door and openned it.

"What are you two..." Alex began. Ty chuckled and shook his head.

"Visiting hours are over and Faith, you're suppose to be in bed!" Dr. Wilson cried at her patient. Faith smiled.

"I know, but out best friend needed us," Faith said.

"How is she doing? Bailee coming tonight?" Kim wondered.

"Not tonight. Maybe a few weeks," Dr. Wilson said and left the room.

"So, everything's ok?" Kim asked pushing Faith over to Alex's bed. Alex nodded.

"Yep. I'm just never walking alone at night again. He took everything in my purse. My money, driver's lisence, ATM card... Everything!" Alex cried looking up at Ty.

"Honey, it'll be easy to track him down if he uses them. I'll leave you guys alone. I'm gonna go call the house and give them your information on your credit cards and stuff," Ty said. Alex nodded.

"Don't take too long," she begged. Ty smiled.

"You won't even miss me with these two in here with you," Ty winked. He kissed her forehead. Alex smiled and watched him leave the room.

"I'm so glad you are ok," Faith said looking at her friend. Alex nodded.

"Me, too. I haven't looked in a mirror and Ty wouldn't tell me how bad I looked. Is it bad?" Alex asked with a chuckle. Faith and Kim smiled.

"You're getting a good shinner," Kim nodded. Alex groaned.

"Of course. It better be gone before I give birth. Speaking of that, how's little Zachary Maurice?" Alex asked. Faith beamed at the mention of her newest bundle of joy.

"He's perfect and sleeping in the nursery," Faith smiled. Alex smiled. She couldn't wait to hold Bailee in her arms for the first time. She was just glad that she would get the chance to, after what could've happened that night.
