A/N: Thank you so much for the follows and faves. This is intended to be a Jolex story though I want to put a little bit of Alex and Lexie through the pregnancy and being parents. I'm not using Lexie only for Alex to have a kid, Lex is/was one of my fave characters, anyways that's why I said is AU-ish. Well that being said, hope you enjoy this chapter :)
They'd be waiting for 20 minutes now for the doctor to come in, and Alex was getting nervous he actually was more nervous than Lexie; he was pacing back and forth on the little room.
"Could you calm down? You're making me nervous"
When Alex was about to answer they heard a knock on the door.
"Alex, Lexie" a woman in her late thirties with dark hair walked in the office.
"My name is Lilly James" They both shook the doctor's hand.
Dr. James reviewed Lexie's chart. "Everything looks good; you're thirteen weeks, correct?"
Lexie nodded.
"Any complications?"
Alex looked at Lexie and then she answered the doctor "No, just morning sickness"
"You'll be over that soon, it usually ends around week fifteen"
"That's good" Alex said.
Then Dr. James started the preparations for the ultrasound. Alex and Lexie chatted while they waited, then a nurse instructed her to put on a hospital gown and go lie down on the examination table.
"Okay, Lexie" Dr. James began , "I am going to do an abdominal ultrasound" As soon as the doctor's words left her mouth it was Lexie who reached for Alex's hand and gave him a tight squeeze. Finding herself very nervous Lexie affirmed with a nod.
When the doctor noticed Lexie's feelings placed her hand on Lexie's arm trying to comfort her "I'll promise it'll be quick and easy"
She gave her another nod still a little frightened.
"Okay, tell me when you're ready, I won't start until you're up to it" Lexie looked up at Alex and gave him a half smile. He smiled back at her and whispered "You can do this, let's see our baby"
Nodding her head once more "I'm ready" And Alex squeezed her hand to let her know that he was by her said and he wasn't going anywhere. That made things easier for her.
The doctor placed the gel over Lexie's abdomen and began to move a small device over her belly and they could see their baby in the monitor.
Lexie felt a little overwhelmed a few tears rolled down her face, there on the screen was her baby.
Dr. James moved the device and pointed on the baby's heartbeat. And that's where it all became real, they were having a baby together, they could do this.
"I'll give you too some privacy" told them and started walking towards the door. Before she left turned to them and smiled. "Congratulations, you can pick the pictures with my assistant"
Thanking her they both turned to the screen and Lexie said "It's our baby's first picture"
Alex waited Lexie to change back to her clothes and then go get the printed pictures. When Lexie was ready they went to the assistant's desk to collect the pictures and Alex suggested "Why don't we show Mer the pictures?"
"I don't want to tell anyone yet, I just want to keep it to ourselves for a while, Is that okay?"
Alex shrugged and grabbed the envelope with the pictures. "Okay, let's go"
"Christian" Alex said
"Definitely no, as Christian Grey that lives in Seattle, absolutely no"
They were discussing baby names while watching some lame TV show.
"Grey? Uhm is going to be Grey- Karev for that matter"
"Whatever, but not Christian" Lexie started saying and then continued
"I was thinking, if it's not too cliché or whatever, but what about Alexander or Alexandra as middle name, as we both are named that" Lexie offered
"It's not that lame, and I actually like the idea, now we have to settle and agree on a first name" Alex told her
"What do you think about Clarice?" Lexie asked Alex
"NO, definitely no, all I can think with that name is 'good evening Clarice'" He said trying to imitate Hannibal Lecter "Sorry, it's a no from me, my daughter won't be named that, besides it could be a boy"
"Clarice Alexandra Karev sound good" Lexie told him with half a smile "And I like it, but you're right we might have a boy, but okay what other names do you have in mind"
"I dunno" he shrugged and then continued "I like Andrea for a girl and maybe Liam for a boy"
"Andrea Alexandra Karev, Liam Alexander Karev" Lexie said
"And what other names you like or we can always name it baby Grey Karev and end of the story"
"I'd like Nicholas if it's a boy but I'm not sure, anyway we have time to make a decision, it's not a big deal, but still I really like Clarice"
"I'll think about it"
Lexie entered to the house holding a small bag in her hand.
"What's that?" Alex asked her
"Oh, I bought a stuffed lamb for Clarice" she said taking out the toy of the bag and showing it to Alex
"Seriously? A lamb for Clarice. Well it actually will be funny if indeed we are having a girl and we could know by now, but no you want it to be a surprise"
"I'm guessing you are adjusting to the idea that if is a girl it's going to be Clarice"
"I don't know though why we are spending so much time deciding on the name, it's like we are only going to use it when we are screaming at the top of our lungs eight years from now"
Lexie just laughed, picturing her and Alex yelling at the kid for whatever mischief he was doing.
"Hey baby, what are you doing?" Lexie asked at her swollen belly, at 33 weeks the baby is all the opposite of calm inside of her and she can see the baby move around. They are sitting in the couch, Alex is reading something but his eyes are on her stomach. He sees Lexie like asking for her permission to touch her belly she just nods on agreement and he lays both his hands on the top of her baby bump and presses his hand on her stomach, causing the baby to kick aggressively. Lexie hisses in pain and he quickly removes his hands and start rubbing where the baby seemed to kick in protest.
"You're already making her mad" Lexie hissed at Alex "Is your daddy making you mad?" She rubs her hand over her belly to calm the baby. "Just think, it won't be long until we are here holding our baby"
