AN: I know that in the show Kyle worked for Tara in the morgue, but I changed that since in this story Alexx is still the ME.
Kyle was back in the morgue. He had worked there once for Alexx already and was gladly hired by her again. He only worked there twice a week while he studied the rest of the week or hung out with friends. But it was money he needed and a good experience when it came time to apply for a job as a paramedic.
"Hi Kyle! Welcome back." Alexx smiled and hugged the young man.
"Hey Alexx, it's good to be back." Kyle smiled, "So what do you want me to start with?"
"There was a traffic accident an hour ago, so we'll be having some bodies brought in." Alexx said.
Kyle nodded. He knew what he had to do with the bodies. He didn't like that part of his job. Seeing dead bodies and knowing that somebody would be very sad to learn that a loved one was no longer with them. But the times when the dead body contained evidence to put a bad guy away it was a good job. Kyle showed just as much care for the bodies as Alexx did. Alexx made sure that everyone that worked for her really did care.
"Hey Alexx, here is the first one." Kyle said sadly.
It was just a little girl. Alexx shook her head sadly.
"What had caused the accident?" Kyle asked.
"Some teenagers had stolen a car and drove around like maniacs." Alexx growled.
Kyle sighed heavily. He knew he had once driven around like a maniac himself and that's why he had worked at the morgue the first time. He had really received a wake-up call back then.
Kyle went to get another body, this was the mother of the child. He couldn't really understand how Alexx managed to do this job almost every day. Kyle wanted to be a paramedic to hopefully save lives and prevent them from ending up in the morgue. Although, without people like Alexx and the team, who would solve the cases? Who would bring justice to the victims and their families?
"Is dad and the team working on the case?" Kyle asked.
"I think so." Alexx said.
The next body was one of the teenagers. Not much younger than Kyle. He wondered if he would have been like those teenagers if hadn't found his parents three years ago. Kyle shook his head as he thought about what his life would probably have looked like. As he had said before, Horatio had saved him from an early grave by never giving up on his son. Julia had been there for Kyle as well, although at they had had been a strange relationship. Now, everything worked fine.
"Alexx, here is number three." Kyle said and looked around the morgue, "Alexx?"
Kyle looked out in the hallway, but couldn't see Alexx. He went to the office and couldn't see her there either.
"Alexx?" Kyle called again.
He went to the observation deck and gasped as he saw Alexx on the floor. She was just sitting up as he knelt down next to her.
"Alexx, what happened?" Kyle asked.
"Shh… something fell down up here so I came to check it out, next thing I know someone hit me over the head." Alexx whispered.
Kyle and Alexx froze when they heard someone search for something in the autopsy room. They heard the person open and close the places where the bodies were put before and after an autopsy.
"Where is she?" A man asked.
"I don't know." Another man said.
Kyle quietly called his father, but before he had time to tell him what was going on, someone grabbed him from behind and Alexx screamed. The next thing Kyle remember was a blow to the head and Alexx screaming for someone to stop hitting him.
While Kyle was out cold, Alexx was fighting two big men. The man holding Kyle, tossed him down on the floor and kicked his ribs. The other man grabbed Alexx.
"Where is Felicity Brannon?" The man, who had attacked Kyle, asked.
"I don't know who that is." Alexx growled.
The attackers seemed unaware that Kyle's phone was still calling Horatio and that everything was being recorded.
"Don't lie to me!" The man growled and kicked Kyle in the ribs again.
"Stop! Don't hurt him!"
"Tell me where she is!" The man yelled.
"I have to check my lists." Alexx said.
The men holding her carried Alexx to her office, but didn't let go of her. The other man tried to find the lists of what bodies were currently in the morgue.
"She's not on a list!" He growled.
"Then maybe she has just arrived." Alexx said and gasped as the man holding her, gripped her hand harder.
Alexx thought of the woman that Kyle had wheeled in. It had to be Felicity Brannon!
"Let's check in the autopsy room then." The man sighed.
The man holding Alexx, tossed her down on the floor. Alexx tried to crawl towards Kyle's body, but the man pulled her back against his body again.
"Let me go!" Alexx growled.
She could see some red hair and blonde hair by the door and knew that Horatio and Calleigh were just outside.
"Here she is!" The man said.
It was the female Kyle had wheeled in, the mother to the child.
"Where are you taking her?" Alexx asked.
"Back home." The man smirked.
The other guy was just about to hit Alexx in the head again, when Horatio and Calleigh burst through the doors and aimed their guns at the two attackers.
"Carl Brannon, you're under arrest." Calleigh growled.
Alexx gasped. Carl was a hunted man across Florida for domestic violence and murder. Calleigh cuffed Carl, while Horatio cuffed the other man, who later turned out to be Carl's best friend Vance. When some officers arrived, Horatio knelt down next to Kyle and gently shook him.
"Kyle, son wake up." Horatio said.
Kyle opened his eyes and groaned in pain. Horatio checked Kyle's ribs and saw bruises.
"An ambulance is on its way, son." Horatio said.
Kyle blacked out again and didn't remember being put on a stretcher and taken to the hospital. He didn't remember Alexx sitting next to him while she was also taken to the hospital.
Kyle didn't wake up until after three hours and the first thing he noticed was the pain in his head and ribs.
"Need water?" A female voice asked.
When Kyle's blurry vision faded and became more clear, he recognized Jessica. She was sitting next to the bed. Kyle then turned to look at the other side of the bed and saw Julia. Julia squeezed his hand softly.
"Hi Kyle, how are you feeling?" Julia asked.
"Like I've been run over by a train." Kyle said hoarsely.
Jessica offered him some water and Kyle drank up everything in the glass. He then realized this was the first time Julia and Jessica had met. Jessica was now 17 weeks pregnant.
"We've talked while you were out of it." Julia smiled as if she understood that Kyle wondered how they were getting along.
"Where's dad?" Kyle asked.
"I had to send him to eat something. He was so worried then you didn't wake up that he forgot to eat lunch." Jessica said, "Alexx was in here a while ago too."
"Is she okay?"
"She's fine. She got a concussion, but other than that she's fine." Jessica smiled.
"They got the attackers?"
"Yeah, apparently it was Carl Brannon and his best friend. They wanted to steal Carl's wife's body." Jessica said.
Kyle nodded. He closed his eyes for a moment and then tried to sit up in a comfortable position in bed.
"So um, what did you talk about?" Kyle asked.
"Everything." Julia smiled, "You, the baby, Jessica and Horatio's relationship and my life."
"You two don't hate each other?"
"No, why would we?" Julia chuckled.
"Just making sure mom." Kyle grinned and then turned to Jessica, "Are you and dad going to find out the gender of the baby?"
"Nah, we decided to keep it a secret." Jessica grinned.
The door opened and Horatio smiled as he saw that Kyle was awake. He gave his son and Julia a hug and Jessica a soft kiss.
"How are you feeling son?" Horatio asked.
"Like I've been run over by a train." Kyle said, "Or maybe run over by a huge truck."
"Well, I'm glad that you're awake." Horatio smiled.
"How long do I have to stay here?"
"Oh no! You are not going to be like your father and Jessica." Julia laughed, "Don't even try to argue with the doctor about your stay here!"
"It was just an innocent question." Kyle smirked.
"No it wasn't." The adults said.
Kyle chuckled.
"Busted!" He grinned.
-I-
Kyle only had to stay in the hospital overnight and the following day he went with Jessica and Horatio to see the baby with an ultrasound.
"And here is the little girl or boy." Elijah, Jessica's doctor, smiled.
"Can you see what it is?" Kyle asked.
"Yeah, do you want to know?"
"Yeah, if it's okay for Jessica and dad." Kyle smiled.
"Sure, but you have to wait for us to leave the room first." Horatio smiled.
"I'll print out a picture and write what gender the baby is on it." Elijah said, "Everything seems fine."
"Is that a head?" Kyle asked.
"Yes it is. And here are the toes." Elijah smiled.
Jessica and Horatio looked at each other and grinned. They were happy that Kyle showed so much interest in the baby.
After the ultrasound Jessica and Horatio waited outside, while Elijah printed a picture for Kyle and then wrote the gender of the baby on it. Kyle kept it in his wallet for the moment, so that there was no risk for Jessica and Horatio finding out.
"So will you be able not to tell us the gender?" Horatio asked in the car on the way home.
"Yeah, will you be sad if I let it slip?"
"No, no, not at all. But I know how hard it is for you to not keep good things like this for yourself." Horatio chuckled.
"I'm like you that way." Kyle grinned.
"So true." Horatio nodded.
Once they got home. Kyle went to his room and looked at the picture. He grinned and then read the text below.
I'm a…
"Just like suspected!" Kyle grinned and put the picture back in his wallet.
Please review!
AN: You won't find out what the gender is just yet, lol. I have already made up my mind though, but you'll have to wait.
