Tracy teased Alice's ear with her lips

Tracy teased Alice's ear with her lips. Waking up, Alice moaned and slipped her hand under Tracy's nightshirt. Tracy smiled and rolled to face Alice.

"Good morning lion. What are we doing here?"

"Well, depends how much time we have?" Alice asked.

Tracy craned her neck at the alarm clock. "We have three hours before Brook thinks about surfacing. So…."

"Well, good morning indeed!" Alice chuckled as Tracy kissed her way down her body.

An hour later Tracy groaned when Alice slipped a hand into Tracy. She leaned back letting the water run over them.

"Lion…" She breathed, tensed when Alice sped up.

"Shhh, let me return the favor. Just relax…." Alice started to kissed Tracy's neck when they heard a knock.

Tracy groaned, "Not now, Brook Lyn."

Alice laughed.

"Shh. What do you need Brook?" Alice asked, speeding up. Tracy whimpered.

"It's ten-thirty. We're suppose to meet Serena at noon. Are you getting ready?"

Tracy bit her lip as her orgasm shook her. Alice kissed her before answering,

"We're almost done. Give us a half-hour. Okay?"

"Okay."

Alice heard footsteps retreating before bursting into giggles. Tracy leaned her head against Alice's chest.

"At least she's learning to knock. But I guess we should get ready. Do you need a real shower?" Tracy asked.

"I took a bath last night. I'll get dress and make breakfast. You shower. It's going to be a good day."


Brook Lyn looked at Alice, who was humming.

"You're in a good mood. What's going on?"

"Nothing, I'm just happy to get start on the nursery. And the sooner the we start on the room the sooner I feel comfortable to deliver. Just four more months." Alice sighed. Tracy gently kissed her.

"Hey, are you getting anxious about this?" Tracy asked.

"I'll feel better after I make it through the next two months. I just want them to be okay. It's getting long and tiring to be this big."

"I love you, no matter what size you are. You know that," Tracy kissed her.

"Hey, we should get going to meet Serena. You know it would be easier to shop for the babies if you told me the sexes."

Alice laughed. "Buy whatever you want. We'll donate the things we don't use. The babies will be well dressed."

"They will be."

"We didn't need forty dresses, Tracy. We just need for the first three months at the most."

"But I might be getting a daughter! Please, please…" Tracy kissed Alice.

"Fine."


After the shopping trip, they were in Tracy's Benz heading home, when suddenly a drunk driver came and swiped the passenger side. For a moment, everything went black for Tracy.

"Allie… What? Allie, wake up. Come on," Tracy tried to twisted around to check on the girls in back. "Burroughs? Serena? You o.k.?"

"My arm hurts, Granny. But Serena seems o.k."

"You o.k.?" Hearing Serena agreed with the question, Tracy sighed and looked at Alice, "All right, I'm calling 911 now. Keep trying to wake up Alice. You just try to stay still."

Tracy was calling when she heard sirens. Hanging up, she almost cried with relief when she saw the first paramedic.

"How are you guys?" She asked.

"We're fine but my wife—she's pregnant and…."

"O.k., we're getting you to the hospital. Just relax and we'll take care of you."

"Right."


There were times Emily Cassadine wished she chose a different field of medicine . But after being raised in the chaos of the Quartermaine family, emergency medicine seemed comfortingly familiar to her.

"48-year-old pregnant woman unconscious due to motor vehicle accident, the rest of the passengers have minor injuries, driver's enroute…." The paramedic reeled off.

"I'm fine!" Emily saw her adoptive aunt grumbled at the paramedic.

"56-year-old woman short LOC on scene head injury. She seems combative…"

"No, that's her personality. Who else was in the car? " Emily asked.

"Brook and Serena."

Emily glanced at the paramedic.

"There's another rig coming."

Tracy started to looked for Alice. Emily sat down next to her,

"Look, you need a CT and stitches. If you get fix up, I find Alice for you. By the time you'll be done I'll know something."

Tracy nodded. "Her o.b. is Wexler. She's five months along with twins."

Emily raised an eyebrow at the twins. "O.k. I'll check on her for you."

"Emily, no one knows about--I mean I know and Brook Lyn knows but the rest of the family…."

"Tracy, things are going to be fine. Alice's tough and from what I heard the twins are true Quartermaines?"

Tracy shrugged. "I wanted to be a part of my children. "

"Here comes the intern to get the CT scan. I'll check on Alice."


"Dr. Quartermaine, what can I help you with?" The intern looked nervous when the Chief of Staff walked in.

"Brook's my niece. I just wanted to check on her. It's her right arm?"

"Yes, sir."

"I'm going to have a cast?" Brook Lyn asked, making a face.

"No, but you'll keep it wrap and in a sling."

"Going to be an artist, so just to make sure the arm is set right. I want you to call the ortho attending," Alan said.

"I know it's your niece but I know how to set an arm."

Alan simply raised his eyebrow and the intern scuttled off. Brook Lyn started to laugh.

"Ah, cocky interns grow up to be even cockier attendings. Your grandmother's fine, thanks to her hard head and Alice is still being check out."


Dr. Meadows entered the room to find Tracy and Alice talking softly. She smiled brightly.

"How is everybody? I heard you were having contractions. Let's see if we can stop those and let those twins grow a little more. Good heartbeats and the frequency of the contractions are lessening."

"So we just need to have Alice relax for right now?" Tracy asked.

"I'm prescribing bedrest for a week, and this means absolute bedrest. No sex. No moving out of bed except for the bathroom. "

"O.k. we can deal with that," Alice said.

"Unhappily," Tracy added.

"I want to have Alice spend the night," Dr. Meadows finished writing in the chart.

"I want to check on Brook Lyn. I'll be right back, Lion."

Alan and Brook Lyn were just finishing up with Dr. Harmon when Tracy walked in the room.

"Alan, could you call Dillon to stay with Brook tonight? Allie needs to spend the night, and I want to stay with her. Before you ask, Allie is o.k. but still having minor contractions," Tracy asked.

"Contractions? But she's only five months. I mean…." Brook Lyn faded off when Tracy smiled tightly.

"Meadows will stop them soon. But I'm going to spend the night here and I know usually you can deal with spending the night alone. But with your arm, I just would feel more comfortable if Dillon was there."

"O.k. get back to Alice," Brook Lyn said.

"Thanks."


When Tracy walked into Alice's room, Alice stirred.

"Hey," Alice blinked sleepily.

"Hey. How are you and the cubs doing?"

"We're hanging in there. How's Brook?"

"Going home with Dillon. All we need to do is focus on you and the cubs." Tracy leaned over and gently kissed Alice.

"O.k. Good night."

"Night."
