Izzie Stevens-Karev struggled not to laugh as Alex and Caleb continued their game of football. Caleb was somehow keeping the ball away from his father.

It had been fourteen years since Tom Karev had shown up and kidnapped Alex. He wasn't completely over what had happened to him during his childhood and those horrible nine days, but Alex was better than he ever had been. Luckily, Alex was still in therapy with Dr. Wyatt. She really helped him out.

"Mom, when do you think they'll stop playing?" asked one of the twins, Lorelei. Her full name was Lorelei Hope Stevens-Karev.

Izzie shrugged. "I'm not sure, Baby. Where's your siblings?" she asked.

Lorelei sighed. "Josh is playing games. Don't ask me where everyone else went," she told her father. Josh was her twin brother. He had been the youngest twin. His full name was Joshua Alexander Karev. Alex and Izzie had married three months after Lorelei and Josh's births.

Izzie laughed. "Do you boys want dinner soon?" she asked Alex and Caleb. Caleb nodded. While he was distracted, Alex grabbed the football and took off running. The ten year old bolted after Alex.

"Did you say something about dinner?" asked twelve year old Logan. She was hungry. The ultrasound had claimed that Logan was going to be a boy, but delivery had resulted in another daughter. Alex and Izzie had been shocked. They had bought boy things. They kept their original name of Logan because Izzie thought that the name was pretty for a girl. Her name would have been Logan Michael Stevens-Karev. Michael was changed to Michelle, but that was about it.

"We'll be eating soon," Izzie assured her. She and Alex had been two four year olds and a two year old when she had become pregnant with Caleb.

"Can I play with Daddy and Caleb?" asked six year old Melia. She had followed Logan out.

Izzie shook her head. "I'm sorry, Melia. You're too little to play with Daddy and Caleb," she explained. Lorelei and Josh had been eight, Logan had been six, and Caleb had been four when Melia Dominique Stevens-Karev arrived.

"Snack?" asked three year old Autumn. She had been sticking close to Izzie the entire time. Autumn Laci Stevens-Karev had been born after a thirty-two hour labor that had resulted in a c-section. Her arrival had coincided with the start of fall, so that's why she and Alex had chosen the name.

"You can have a snack," Izzie told her. Autumn smiled and tried to run into the house. Logan followed her younger sister.

The newest member of the family, eight month old Aidan Samuel Stevens-Karev, stirred in his stroller. He didn't wake up though. Aidan had been an unexpected surprise to Alex and Izzie. She had been forty upon becoming pregnant. The couple thought they were done having kids after Autumn.

"What are you thinking about?" Lorelei asked her mother. Hannah was coming for a visit later on, so maybe Izzie was worried about that. Izzie's oldest daughter was now twenty-five and engaged to her boyfriend.

"I'm thinking about what's happened since I met your dad," Izzie said. She wasn't lying. She had just been thinking about those horrible days that led up to Alex's kidnapping and what had occurred later.

"When's the baby coming?" asked Melia. Alex and Izzie's kids loved to ask questions. The Stevens-Karev kids had been dubbed "The kids that ask way too many questions."

Izzie smiled and rubbed her expanding stomach. She was five months pregnant with her and Alex's last child. Like Aidan, this pregnancy had been an unexpected surprise. Aidan had only been three months old when she got pregnant again. After learning of this pregnancy, Alex had voluntarily gone in for a vasectomy. He and Izzie didn't want to take anymore chances. This last baby, another girl, was their eighth child. Alex and Izzie never expected to have eight kids. Technically, this was Izzie's ninth child because of Hannah.

Alex and Izzie had never expected their big family, but they didn't regret. Having kids ranging in age from fourteen to eight months was a little weird, however.

"I love you," Alex informed his wife after he and Caleb finally stopped playing football.

Izzie smiled. "I love you too, Alex." She couldn't imagine life without this man.

"Stop being so mushy," Josh complained. No wonder his mother was knocked up again. His parents loved each way too much.

"I think it's cute," Lorelei told her brother. Her parents were so much in love that she wanted a relationship like theirs.

"You think everything they do is cute," Logan pointed out. Her sister had such a good personality that she sometimes everyone up the wall.

"Good point," Lorelei conceded. Logan was usually right about her.

"Do you have any names for the baby yet?" Caleb asked. He was curious to find out the name of his new baby sister.

Izzie nodded. She and Alex weren't going to reveal their name choice yet. Her name was going to be Keely Sophia Stevens-Karev. Everyone couldn't wait to meet the little girl.

Life was great for the Stevens-Karev. They didn't want it be any other way.

Alex Karev was forty-three and he was no longer DirtyBadWrong.

The End


I never intended for Alex and Izzie to have so many kids, but the epilogue took an unexpected turn.

I chose the name Logan for a girl because I think it's really pretty for a girl. I love it for a boy, but I think it would be a perfect name for a girl.

My next story will most likely be a Can't Buy Me Love/GA crossover. I just have to finish two WIPs first.
