A/N: This chapter deals with abortion but only in the first paragraph or two so skip ahead if that makes you uncomfortable..
", your baby's fine," Alex and I breathed a sigh of relief simultaneously, "But, there is a ninety percent chance you will lose this baby," "Wha-What? So my baby makes it through surgery and know you're telling me that my baby will probably die," just nodded solemnly, "I'll give ye a few minutes to take this in and then I'll be back to discuss the options with the pair of ye," She said walking out of the room, "So, I think we should get an abortion," Alex said breaking the uncomfortable silence with an even more uncomfortable suggestion, "What? Have you lost your mind!" "Iz, you heard what the doctor said, you might lose this baby anyway," "Exactly Alex, might, so if I can help it I want another baby, And this baby already survived surgery, this baby, our baby, Alex, is a fighter,"
"So, , , There's one option I'd like to properly discuss with the pair of ye, This might make ye uncomfortable but, have ye discussed abortion?" "Yes, and no. We are not aborting this baby, our baby is a fighter," looked delighted "Oh Thank the Lord, I mean this is the first case I've seen in all my years as a doctor where a foetus this young has survived surgery," I got back into my wheelchair, "Alex, where's Haven?" "Oh I'll go and get her now," "I'm going up to Asher's room, bring her up to me," "Will do," He said running off.
Alex P.O.V
I ran to the on-call room where I tucked Haven in, and saw Cristina kneeling next to her bed, stroking her sleeping head. She pressed a finger to her lips signalling me to be quiet. I nodded and went over and picked Haven up where she curled into my shoulder. I walked up to Asher's room and saw Izzie holding his hand and talking to him, "The doctors say we can go home today baby," She said stroking his hair whilst still holding onto his hand, "Look who it is Haven, Its Mommy!" I said pretending to throw her. Then I heard the two most beautiful sounds in the world, Izzie and Haven laughing. They both sounded like peels of bells.
2 days later
Alex P.O.V (still)
I got up at eight o'clock and started getting ready for work, I had been staying at Izzies since she had been discharged to help out with the kids and stuff like that. I was dressed and went into the twins room to see Haven up looking through the books I got her. She jumped up and ran towards me. She stopped at my feet stretching her arms up "Up, up" I slung her up onto my hip and started tickling her. Her laughter was like peels of bells, "Listen, small fries, I got to go to work now, I'll see you later, be good for your Mommy okay?" I said putting her down on her bed with her books. "Okay, Bye Daddy," I walked out the door and froze, Daddy. She called me Daddy, This was one of the single best moments of my life. My daughter actually recognizing me as her father. I went about my day as normal, on Arizonas service, dealt with a bunch of sick kids and a bunch of worried parents. I got paged to "Shit!" I said as I ran up to her office, "What happened?" I said as I burst in the door, to see Izzie lying there as pale as a sheet, tears cascading down her beautiful face, her hair a dishevelled mess. "I-I-I lost the bab-" She barely made it to the end of her sentence before breaking down into a sobbing mess. I walked over and scooped her up into my arms, rubbing small circles on her back, "Shhhh, It' okay, It's gonna be okay, Iz," I said tears rolling down my own face. " I talked to the Chief, he's recommended that both of ye take some time off to deal with this, I'll leave ye be for a while," She said forcing out a sad smile, walking out of the room, I just sat there for I don't know how long holding Izzie in my arms.
Normal/Izzie P.O.V
I woke up the next morning having cried myself to sleep over the loss of my unborn child, our baby was a fighter she shouldn't have even made it this far. I had even a few names picked out in my head, I started crying again and I must have woken Alex up with it cause the next thing I know he had come up behind me and started to rub my back in a soothing manor. I turned around and curled into him. All the crying must have made me fall asleep because the next thing I know Alex is serving me breakfast in bed and the twins are in the bed beside me, Asher was recovered and full of life, now more then ever. Alex had made pancakes, with chocolate sauce a glass of orange juice and there was a vase with a red rose sitting atop the table. I sat up in bed and took a bite of the pancakes. "Oh my God this is so good," I moaned, "Wait a minute this is too good, Alex you can't cook, so who made this?" I said the suspicion becoming apparent in my voice, "Surprise!" Addie screamed as she jumped out from behind the door, "Addie, Oh My God you're here," "Yup I am" She said hopping into the bed along side me and the twins, "Alex filled me in on the phone, I'm so sorry Iz," She said sorrow filling her usually happy bright blue eyes filled with sorrow.
After a long talk with Addison about every and any bit of news we both had, I got up out of bed. I looked in the mirror and didn't recognise the person starring back at me, this person was as pale as a sheet, her hair was greasy from lack of washing, her face sunk in and her eyes red and puffy from crying all the time. I jumped into a badly needed shower and scrubbed myself from head to toe. I went downstairs and saw Alex sitting on the couch reading a book, "Where are the kids?" "Oh am Addison took them to the park or toy store or somewhere," "Oh okay," I said throwing myself on the couch beside him, "I'm sorry for being such an emotional wreck," "Iz, you lost a baby, its okay to be upset," I just nodded and looked into his deep sea blue eyes, he yanked me into him and covered my mouth with his in a hungry kiss. I responded immediately, surprising myself. . He tasted tentatively with his tongue, and I opened my mouth with a low moan.
