Chapter two

The next day

August 21st

"Are you ready?" Jo asks Alex as they sit down on the lounge of the locked Attending's lounge. Neither of them wanted to be disturbed, so they had decided that locking the lounge was the best way to go. Jo and Alex were facing each other and Alex could clearly hear the nerves in Jo's voice. He knew how much she wanted this. They both wanted this so bad and Alex fret that if this test came back negative that Jo would feel like she'd let the both of them down and her confidence would take a hit. Alex of course knew that it normally didn't happen on the first go, as much as Jo wanted it too. Jo was currently holding an unopened pregnancy test in her hand, which they had stollen from the supply room.

"I'm ready, are you ready?" Alex asks supportively. He places his right hand on her knee.

"I'm ready. And if I'm not pregnant it's no big deal, right? I mean, It's not like we've been trying," Jo says rambling on. "But then again, I don't even know if all my lady parts are working. Paul used to hit me a lot on my stomach. I've has uterine bleeding numerous times because of it. What of me not being pregnant now means that there's something wrong because of something that he did?" Jo asks anxiously.

"Jo, if this test is negative then It'll be okay, I promise you. You are reading too much into everything," Alex replies supportively.

Jo nods her head, "You're right, you're right. We haven't even started trying, but I'm just freaking out because I want this so bad," She says nervously. She slowly gets up at walks to the bathroom. As she does she looks back at Alex, who provides her with a reassuring smile. Once she reaches the bathroom she unwraps the test and takes it.

The agonising two minute wait felt like a lifetime for Jo as she stood in the bathroom. Jo considered waiting out with Alex, but If it was negative she didn't want him to see the look of disappointment on her face.

"Alex! Alex!" She yells from the bathroom.

Alex comes running to the bathroom and opens up the door, "what is it? Are you okay?" Alex asks concerned for his wife.

"Two lines! Look, two lines!" She says excitedly, "Tell me I'm not dreaming, please tell me I'm not dreaming," Jo says shoving the test into Alex's hands.

Jo watches Alex's face turn to pure happiness and joy, "You're not dreaming, you're pregnant, we're pregnant! We're gonna have a baby!" Alex exclaims happily.

"We're having a baby!" Jo says squealing while jumping up and down.

"Shhh, I'm pretty sure the whole hospital just heard you," Alex says as he puts his fingers to his lips.

"Oh honey, I'm pretty sure the whole of Seattle heard me, but I don't care, because I'm pregnant!" Jo says happily. Alex pulls Jo in for a kiss and she giggles happily.

"You know that this means that you have to be unbearably nice to me for the rest of our lives now, right?" She asks with a grin.

"Life? Isn't usually just the pregnancy where I have to be nice?" he questions.

"Oh no, its life. I am growing a child inside of me for you and then I will be pushing said child out of my Vagina, for you. We want three children so I'll be doing that three times for you. My body will probably never look this good again and that's because of you. So I think that life is appropriate," she replies assertively.

"Let's not forget that you also get a child out of this," he laughs.

"Oh I won't. But your part is pretty much done. My part is just beginning," she laughs.

Alex shakes his head with a laugh, "Okay, okay, lifetime it is."

"And I hope you're ready for crazy hormonal Jo. She's going to be coming out to play and I can't control her, the baby does that. And right now the baby feels like a green apple, smooth peanut butter and saltana's. " Jo requests.

"You did that on purpose," he says with a chuckle.

"So what if I did. I am pregnant with your child so you have to be nice to me. Go fetch," Jo laughs.

"You are lucky I love you," he laughs.

"I know," She says simply. They give each other a kiss and Alex heads out to get Jo's requests.

Scene break

"Glasses, what have we got?" Jo asks as she walks into Ally Jacobs room with her now 2nd year resident's. Ally was a 26 year old woman who had been admitted yesterday after her appendix had burst. She underwent emergency surgery yesterday and was now recovering. "Please talk quietly, she is sleeping lets not wake her," Jo Instructs.

The group stand at the end of Ally's bed and Levi opens up her chart on the tablet. "Ally Jacobs, 26 years old. Admitted yesterday after her appendix burst. Ally underwent an emergency Appendectomy preformed by yourself, Dr Karev. Ally is currently receiving broad spectrum antibiotics to rule out any infection that may have occurred. She is on IV pain med's every four hours and is due for more in 2 hours."

"Great work. Let's move on," Jo instructs. Jo begins to walk out of Ally's room and her 5 residents follow her. They stop when they reach the nurses station and Levi hands the tablet to the nurse so he could place it on charge.

"I've got your assignments for today from Dr Webber. Helm, you're with me today. Roy, you're with Dr Webber. He is now back. Parker, you're with Kepner in the ER. Schmidt, you're with Owen in the ER. and Quadri, you're with Dr Grey," Jo informs them. Each of them nods their heads and heads their respective ways.
