Present time

The next day- March 31st 2020

And all the roads we have to walk are winding,

And all the lights that lead us there are blinding,

There are many things that I,

Would like to say to you but I don't know how...

"Oh my goodness, that was amazing!" Jo exclaims as she and Arizona scrub out of surgery. They had just completed Foetal surgery on a 24 week who had Spina Bifida. "I mean it's pretty unreal that we can operate on a baby that hasn't even been born yet by taking it outside of the womb and then just place the baby back inside like nothing ever happened! Science is amazing! I love science!" Jo gushes as they continue to scrub out.

Arizona nods her head in agreement "It is.. It's amazing," Arizona smiles as she continues to scrub out.

"The procedure... Its revolutionary. I never at all thought I'd ever see a baby in that way... before it was even born. I just can't get the image of pure miracle out of my head," Jo gushes.

"I remember my first foetal surgery. I was gobsmacked. It's a new era of medicine... To fix a problem before it's had a chance to develop or cause harm," Arizona explains.

"You've gotta let me scrub on some more of them," Jo requests as she fiddles with her bra.

"Of course," Arizona smiles. "Now, we need to let her husband know that the surgery went well and when she's out of recovery he can go and see her," Arizona says.

"I'm so sorry Dr Robbins, but I really need to go and pump. My breasts feel like they're going to explode," Jo says nervously.

"Of course. I'll go talk to the husband and Once Evelyn is awake you can brief her," Arizona says.

Scene break

"Hey baby," Jo smiles happily as she walks towards Alex, who happened to be walking in the opposite direction.

"How's your day going?" He asks.

"Sorry Baby, can't talk, my breasts feel like exploding fountains right now," Jo says without stopping. Alex looks back at her as she walks down the hallway and nods his head. He continues to walk down the hallway and spots Arizona walking. She was on her way to talk to Evelyn's family. He walks over to her.

"Hey, what did you do to my wife? It's like she floating on more clouds the usual," Alex questions.

"Oh, hey Alex," she smiles, "Surgery high. We preformed foetal surgery... Spina Bifida," Arizona says.

"Well, that explains it then. I ran into her when she was on her way to pump so we couldn't talk much because as Jo put it 'my breasts are like exploding fountains' right now.'" Alex laughs.

"How did you get so lucky Karev?" Arizona asks.

"I've been asking myself that for the entirety of our relationship," he laughs.

"Seriously Karev. You got her pregnant at 15. How on earth did you survive? Her father would of wanted to kill you," Arizona asks.

"Dr Robbins, are you trying to find out information about my personal life?" Alex asks curiously.

"Would that be so bad?" She asks.

Alex chuckles. "Her father did want to kill me. But after we convinced them to let us keep the baby then her father made us get married. It's complicated, there were a lot of ups and downs and break ups and many near break ups. It wasn't easy to get this far," Alex admits.

"I bet it wasn't. Having a kid as a successful working woman in a committed relationship is hard, let alone having a kid as a teenager with a girl who you hardly know," Arizona replies.

"Hey, I've gotta go prep for surgery. See you soon," Alex says.

"See ya Karev," Arizona replies.

Scene break

"I've got news for you," Steph says excitedly as she rushes over to Jo, who had just finished talking to Evelyn after she had woken up from surgery.

"I'm intrigued, but you're gonna have to walk and talk because I need to pick up the kids from daycare. Maddie even spent the day there because her school was closed because of an asbestos scare," Jo instructs.

"Where did the triplets stay?" They had a class excursion at the aquarium planned so they went there as planned. I just had to drop them off there rather then have them catch the bus with the rest of the class," she explains.

Steph nods her head and follows Jo to the end of the hall and they walk into the daycare. "Mummy!" Maddie calls out as she sees her mum walk into the room. Jo bends down and embraces her daughters hug.

"Hi Aunty Stephie," Maddie says happily as she sees Steph she walks over to Steph and she gives her a hug, which she embraced.

"Since when was I Aunty Stephie?" Steph whispers to Jo as they head out the door with Maddie to go and pick up the twins.

"Since she started to call you that after you babysat," Jo grins. "And personally, I like it. It suits you," she laughs.

They head down to the babies room and pick up the twins. "So, what was your news?" Jo asks curiously as they buckle the twins into the pram.

"How about I help you get these kids home and I'll tell you on the way?" Steph suggests.

"Well, if you must know, I hate the fact that you're keeping me guessing. But I'm not going to knock back free help, especially when I still need to get the other four kids from school, so I'm in. Let's do this," Jo says way to excitedly.

At Jo's house

"Thanks for helping me get the kids home," Jo says thankfully as she and Steph sit in the living room watching the kids play.

"No problem, it'll be great practice," Steph says. Jo looks at her and catches a sparkle in her eye.

"Oh my god Steph, are you? Are you pregnant? This is amazing, this is great! I'm going to be an God-mother! I am going to be God-mother right? And I know that you're not God- mother to any of my children, but that's only because I didn't know you when I had them. Had I of known you then you would have been, trust me," Jo says rambling on.

"I'm not pregnant Jo," Steph replies with a smile.

"Oh man. You know, I thought I had it too," Jo says sadly. She notices the smile on Steph's face. "But wait, you're still smiling. Why are you still smiling? What Is the smile for?" Jo asks freaking out.

"Kyle and I are going to adopt a kid," she exclaims.

"That's fantastic! Oh my god, yay! Adoption is great, trust me, it's not something you'll regret. Now, I really hope that I'll still be God-mother. I'll be a kick arse God- mother... I mean I'm already a kick arse mother, my children are amazing and all seven of them are still alive so that has to count for something," Jo says rambling once more.

Steph laughs at Jo's ramble. She was amazed at how much Jo could spit off her tongue. "Wait, you have to be married to adopt," Jo states.

"We're going to get married. We're thinking just down at the courthouse. We don't want a fancy thing. We wanted to have a kid, but I don't see myself as being very good at being pregnant and I don't want to loose this body," she laughs.

"Yeah, I was horrible. Especially with Alli. Pregnancy kicked my arse. But I'll give myself credit, with each passing pregnancy I was more bareable to those around me. But seriously, I don't know how I did it three times and I don't know how Alex put up with me or even agreed to have more kids with me," she laughs. "And don't get me started on how your body changes. That is a whole other ball game sister."
