Chapter 8: The Happiest Day of My Life

George and Izzie's house – their bedroom – George and Izzie are lying in bed talking to each other – May 5th, 2010 – 7 a.m.

"I cannot imagine how surprised my mother will be when we show up unannounced at her house today" George says.

"She will be so happy to see us" Izzie says.

"She will be asking us about the babies and how you are doing" George says.

"This has been an amazing year George. We got married and now we are starting a family together. I feel so blessed to have this kind of life" George says.

"You deserve to be happy Izzie" George says.

"I didn't believe that I deserved to be happy until I met you. You taught me that is all right to be happy and just to live your life in the best way that you can" Izzie says.

"I am happy that I taught you that Izzie" George says.

"Let's get out of bed and start the day" Izzie says and then they get out of bed to start their day.

Five hours later – George's mother Louise's house – George and Izzie have just arrived to surprise her. George and Izzie are waiting for her to announce the door.

"Why hasn't she answered yet?" George asks.

"She will answer George" Izzie says and at the moment his mother opens the door.

"I was not expecting to see you two today" Louise says.

"We wanted to surprise you" Izzie says.

"You have surprised me. Please come inside" Louise says.

Five minutes later – George's mother Louise's house – the living room – George, Izzie and Louise are sitting down on the couch talking to each other.

"How are you feeling Izzie?" Louise asks.

"I am feeling all right. I love being pregnant but I cannot wait to be a mother to these two beautiful babies" Izzie says.

"Do you know what you are having yet?" Louise asks.

"Yes, we do" Izzie says.

"Please tell me" Louise says.

"We are having a boy and a girl" George says.

"That is the best news that I have heard in a long time George" Louise says.

"Would you like to know the names that we chose for them?" Izzie asks.

"Yes, I would" Louise says smiling.

"We chose Harold Edward O'Malley for our son. We named him after Dad.

We chose the name Hope Sarah O'Malley because we love that name for our daughter" George says.

"I love those names. Your father would be so touched to know that you are naming your son after him George" Louise says to George and smiles at Izzie.

"You are going to be a wonderful grandmother Mrs. O'Malley" Izzie says.

"Call me Louise Izzie. These are my first grandchildren so I am going to spoil them so much" Louise says.

"Don't spoil them too much Louise" Izzie says laughing.

"You have made this the happiest day of my life by coming because I missed you so much" Louise says.

"I am so happy that we could make you so happy my wonderful mother" George says.

"You always make me happy George because I love you so much and I love your wife so much as well" Louise says.

"We promise to visit you more often Louise" Izzie says smiling.

"How about you come for dinner in two weeks?" George asks Louise.

"I would love that George" Louise says.

"We have a prenatal appointment in two weeks as well" Izzie says smiling.

"Will you tell me how it went at the dinner?" Louise asks.

"Yes, we will" George says.

"I cannot wait for this dinner" Izzie says.

"None of us can Izzie" George says smiling at her.

"We don't like to leave but we have to get back to work Louise" Izzie says.

"It was nice of you to drop by" Louise says hugging George and Izzie.

George and Izzie's house – their bedroom – George and Izzie are lying in bed talking – 9 p.m.

"I am happy that we could make your mother happy George" Izzie says.

"I have not seen her that happy for a long time. She is so excited at the thought of becoming a grandmother" George says.

"She is going to be a wonderful grandmother to Harry and Hope" Izzie says rubbing her pregnant stomach.

"I cannot wait to see them" George says.

"Neither can I George" Izzie says.

"I wonder who they will look like" George says.

"I hope Harry looks like you because you are the best man that I know. I hope that he grows up to be just like you" Izzie says.

"You are so sweet Izzie. I think that Hope will look like you because you are the most beautiful and caring person that I know" George says.

"We are sweet to each other because we love each other so much" Izzie says yawning.

"I cannot wait for our doctor's appointment and the dinner in two weeks" George says.

"I cannot wait either. It will be a day to remember" Izzie says yawning.

"I love you so much Izzie O'Malley" George says.

"I love you so much George O'Malley" Izzie says and then they kiss passionately on the lips.

They pull away from the kiss and smile at each other. They fall asleep wrapped up in each other's arms and dream about how much richer their lives will be once their children enter their lives. You can make someone's day by surprising them and showing them how much you care about them. George and Izzie made his mother happier by showing up to see her unannounced. It may have been a quick visit but it meant so much to her to have George and Izzie care enough to make her day happier. A day can be made better by making someone else's better because when you do you have the feeling of knowing that you made someone's day by caring enough to be there for them when they needed it. Life has the ability to help you to see how much you can change someone else's life by being there for them and when you do both of your lives will be so much richer because of the reason that was just mentioned. Life will bring George and Izzie some challenges but they will get through them together because they know as long as you stay true to the one you love then there is nothing you cannot do as long as you do it together.

Note: The next chapter will take place two weeks after this one ends because I want Izzie's pregnancy to have developed a bit more. This chapter will focus on Izzie's pregnancy and the dinner after the doctor's appointment. I had fun writing this chapter because I love to see George and Izzie interact with his family because they are so much fun to write about.
