AN: This was a crazy idea that we threw around in the GC, and I decided to pursue it, and it turned out pretty cute.
Jo's laughter rang through the loft as she leaned against Alex. Her giggles were joined by his own roar of laughter as Link sat on the riding pony. Jo and Alex had got the two foot tall brown toy horse for Luna for her birthday last month. But the sight of her partner on the little pony was the best thing Amelia had seen all year as she giggled.
"Yeehaw," Link shouted as he rocked back and forth, waving around an imaginary lasso.
His time ran out long ago, but he was having so much fun that he just continued on riding. The four of them were all sitting around as Amelia sipped on her soda while Link, Alex, and Jo, were drinking for the first time in what seemed like a year. Ever since Amelia and Link had Scout and Jo and Alex had adopted Luna, their social visits usually consisted of activities for the babies. Since Link's parents were visiting, they eagerly offered to take both kids overnight, leaving the four of them to have the first adult only evening in over a year.
The night started off with dinner and drinks and quickly turned into a drinking game of truth or dare with Amelia as the moderator, lest their drunken activities get out of hand. So far, nothing too dangerous or sexual had happened, although Alex's hand was far too high on Jo's thigh, and Link had nuzzled up to her pretty close, so it was only a matter of time.
After one last yeehaw, Link finished and came stumbling back to sit next to her on the living room rug.
"I was a cowboy," Link said, giving her a big smile as Jo laughed so hard that she started hiccupping.
"You certainly were," Amelia smiled as she leaned in to kiss him. "It's your turn. Do you want to go?"
"Yeah," Link said eagerly before he looked over at the three of them. "Um, Jo, truth or dare."
"Dare," Jo said as she struggled to contain her giggles and hiccups.
"Okay, umm, I dare you to umm," Link scrunched up his face in an adorably serious look as he tried to think of something.
Amelia's phone dinged, and she looked down to see a quick text from her mother-in-law, Maureen, saying that the kids had gone down for the night. The text was accompanied with a picture of Scout and Luna sleeping side by side, holding each other's hands as their heads were turned towards each other. She smiled and turned her phone so that the rest of them could see the photo. Link smiled as Jo took the phone out of Amelia's hand to kiss the screen.
She cooed in between her hiccups as Alex rubbed her back. "Aww, she's so cute. It reminds me of when she was a baby. I miss her being a baby. She's so big now. She's walking and talking."
"And getting into trouble, yesterday she got into the shaving cream on the ledge of the shower and got it all over the bathroom!" Alex laughed as he smiled at the photo with his crooked grin. "She looks so little and peaceful when she sleeps."
Jo looked over at Alex and put a hand on his chest. "I want another one."
"Me too," Alex said, staring at her with a crooked grin as they got lost in each other's eyes.
Amelia wasn't sure how much of this conversation they would remember in the morning or if they would actually go through with it. As of last week, Jo was still adamant about putting off having a second kid since Luna was still in diapers.
"That's my dare!" Link said, pointing at them, as Jo turned her head back to look at him. Suddenly, he got very serious and leaned forward to stare at her. "Jo, I dare you to give me a second godchild."
"Don't I get a say in this?" Alex asked, looking confused before Link quickly shushed him.
"Oh please, you've been trying to knock me up for years. Are you not excited to do it now?" Jo said, giving him a look.
Alex smiled and gave a shrug as he took another sip of his beer. "Fair enough."
"This is so exciting. I'm going to get another godchild," Link said, looking over and smiling at Amelia as she just laughed.
"Okay, but since I'm giving you a godchild, you should give me a godchild in return. Then our kids could be double best friends, just like Scout and Luna are!" Jo said, getting so excited that she started to bounce up and down.
"Oh yes," Link said, looking back at her.
"Okay, hold up, cowboy, I don't think we should make this decision while you're inebriated," Amelia said, trying to rein them in before it got out of control.
"Why not," Link said, looking over at her with sad eyes. "Scout's over a year old, and I want him to have a sibling. Growing up as an only kid was so lonely. We said we would try for a second kid when Scout was older and if not now, then when?"
Amelia had to admit that she did want a second kid with him. She grew up in a big family, and although her family wasn't the best, she loved having a big brother. Derek was always there for her and she loved him. If they had another kid, Scout would be their big brother just like Derek was to her. She wanted that for her son and for her other child.
"Okay, how about we talk about this in the morning, yeah," Amelia said, stealing away the last of the liquor and going to put it away.
"That's not a no," Link said, looking back at her with a hopeful smile.
"No, it's not a no, but it's not a yes either," Amelia said, pointing her finger at him, hoping that it would get through to his drunken brain.
"Oh, it's happening," Link said before turning back to Jo. "We're both going to have another baby!"
"Yay, we're having twin cousins!" Jo said, throwing her hands up in the air as she squealed in happiness, while Alex just burst out laughing and wrapped his arms around her and pulled her in for a kiss.
A few weeks later, Amelia walked into the bathroom at the hospital looking for Jo in between the stalls only to hear her throwing up. She went over to see her hunched over the toilet right where Amelia had left her. She kneeled down and rubbed Jo's back as she continued to heave what little bile and water she had in her stomach. Eventually, Jo's nausea passed, and she sat back as Amelia handed her some toilet paper so she could wipe her mouth.
"Did you get it?" Jo asked, looking up at her.
"Yep," Amelia said, holding up both pregnancy tests before handing one to Jo.
"How are you not puking right now?" Jo looked up at her as Amelia just smiled and bristled with excitement.
"I never really got morning sickness when I've been pregnant, and besides, I'm not pregnant," Amelia said with a shrug as she struggled not to smile as Jo scowled at her.
"I hate you so much right now. I hope you're just as knocked up as I am," Jo said as she glared at her.
"I'm not, but keep dreaming. Besides, you're the one who wanted to do this. You said, let's be pregnant together, it'll be great," Amelia said with a smirk.
Instead of glaring at her, Jo squeezed her eyes shut as she put her hand over her mouth, and Amelia instantly regretted her words. Amelia's smile fell as Jo truly looked miserable. She had been throwing up all morning and, according to Alex, part of last night as well. Although she had never had much morning sickness, she knew how terrible it could be, and she felt for her.
Jo finally moved her hand away from her mouth as she let out of breath and opened her eyes. Amelia helped Jo up and handed her the test. Despite her morning sickness, Jo smiled, and Amelia couldn't help but share her excitement. Regardless of whether she was pregnant, which she wasn't, she was excited to get another niece or nephew from Jo and Alex. She knew the two of them would be so over the moon to have a new baby.
"Ready?" Jo said, smiling up at her as she tore off the packaging.
"I guess so," Amelia said, with a shrug before she went over to the next stall.
They remained silent as they peed side by side before they washed their hands and sat against the wall as they waited for the tests to develop. Jo sighed and leaned her head against Amelia's shoulders as Amelia wrapped her arm around her. Although Jo was Link's friend first, ever since Jo and Alex had adopted Luna and Amelia and Link had Scout, the two of them had become good friends as they became new mothers together.
Jo closed her eyes and sighed as they waited for the test to develop, while Amelia kept her eye on both tests. She didn't really think she was pregnant. She didn't have any of the signs. Then again, she didn't realize she was pregnant with Scout until she was ten weeks along. She was even further along when she realized she was pregnant with Christopher. Amelia was both excited and terrified at the thought of being pregnant again, but as she watched both tests develop two very dark pink lines, she couldn't help but smile. She gently nudged Jo as she picked her head up and gasped, putting her hand over her mouth as she stared at their pregnancy tests.
"We're pregnant," Jo said, looking at her test again before looking back at Amelia, her eyes wide and a large smile across her face.
"We are!" Amelia said before they both looked at each other and exchanged a smile before they burst out laughing as they hugged. Although, she was apprehensive about having another kid initially. Now that it was real, she was extremely excited.
"Oh my god, I can't wait to tell Alex. He's going to be so excited, and Link too!" Jo said in excitement as she looked down at the test again. "Oh, we should do it together! Why don't we go see Carina, and we can get an ultrasound done, then show the boys the photos."
"Okay," Amelia said with a smile as she let Jo pull her up and out of the bathroom.
Although she was a little apprehensive about getting an ultrasound first off, she was a little bit excited. When she had Scout, she was so scared that he would have anencephalic too, but Scout was a happy and healthy baby. She felt more excited than nervous this time around, and she just wanted to enjoy her pregnancy. So she let Jo drag her over to the maternity ward as she babbled about how happy she was to see their babies.
"No way," Jo said, again still trying to process the information, while Carina and Amelia shared a giggle. Jo was slack jawed and wide eyed as she stared up at the ultrasound screen that Carina had turned towards her. "No way."
The two of them were sitting in the ultrasound room. Jo had completed Amelia's ultrasound and was happy to see that her little godchild was doing well and offered to be Amelia's OB, something she had eagerly agreed to. Now it was her turn, and Jo was currently laying on the bed with her legs in the stirrup and a sheet over her waist and knees. Carina moved the ultrasound wand inside her vagina to get a look at her currently very, very occupied uterus.
"No freaking way." Jo was in her third year of residency for OB/GYN, and from the moment she saw the ultrasound of her uterus, she knew what was going on inside her, yet she still couldn't believe it. "No freaking way."
"I am just going to get a few more photos and once Alex gets here, I will let you two hear the heartbeats," Carina said with a smile as she looked back at the ultrasound screen.
Amelia laughed again before she looked down at the picture of her own ultrasound. Jo couldn't believe that she was laughing and was about to call her out on it before the door opened, letting light into the dark room. Jo turned her head to see Link come into the room.
"Hey… Whoa," Link said as he stopped in the doorway, turning pale before he looked over at Amelia.
She held up her ultrasound photo to him with a smile and a little laugh. Link's expression immediately changed to excitement as he rushed forward to wrap his arms around her. Finally, Alex made his way into the room, and just as Link had, he looked at her, then at the monitor, and turned pale. He just stood there in the doorway and stared at her, which was extremely infuriating.
"Twins," Jo said, sitting up on her elbows as she glared at him. "You knocked me up with twins Alex Karev."
Alex's jaw dropped as he put a hand over his chin, rubbing his beard as he just stared at her. "You're pregnant?"
Jo reached back to grab the pillow she was lying on and chucked it at his head. Alex was so in shock that the pillow hit him square in the face, and he didn't even blink. Finally, he seemed to come out of his daze as he came over to her and sat down on the chair Amelia had previously occupied. Alex stared up at the ultrasound and then back at her before doing a double-take.
"Twins?" Alex asked, his eyebrows nearly in his forehead as he just stared at her.
"Obviously," Jo said, pointing to the two grey spots on the screen that held two little babies inside her uterus.
"Wait, you're not having twins, are you?" Link said, looking down at Amelia before staring at the ultrasound screen.
"Considering that the ultrasound wand is currently in my vagina. I'd say I'm the one with two babies in my uterus," Jo said, glaring at him as well before laying back on the bed and crossing her arms. "But no, Amelia just has one baby. I checked myself."
Link shrunk back and hid behind Amelia, wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing her cheek as she smiled, as they both stared down at their ultrasound photo. Jo looked over at her best friends as they had a sweet moment together before she looked up at her husband, who was still in shock. Alex was still staring, slack-jawed at the monitor, but at least he grabbed her hand and gave it a squeeze.
Carina laughed at the whole situation before she pointed at the screen where she had labeled each baby. "This one is baby A and this one is baby B. Although it's too early to tell if they're identical or fraternal."
"We're having twins. We're having two more babies," Alex said, looking down at her as tears collected in his eyes. "I love them already."
"I love them too," Jo said, instantly tearing up as well.
Alex leaned down to press his forehead against hers as they both cried happy tears. He pressed his lips to hers as Jo let herself relax into his kiss. When Alex pulled back, he sat close to her and squeezed her hand as they stared up at their two babies on the monitor. She was both overwhelmed and extremely excited. Ever since they had started trying for a baby, they had both been so excited, but Alex was so ready for another child. He had already bought a dozen onesies, and Helen had sent them a dozen adorable large sized baby hats. However, they agreed to reuse most of Luna's things since half of her stuff was gender neutral anyway. At least now, the extra onesies would come in handy, as they would certainly need the extras of everything.
"Those are our babies," Alex said, looking up at the monitor was such an affectionate smile.
"Our babies," Jo whispered, looking up at the screen, studying each of her babies.
"We're going to need another crib," Alex said, scrunching up his nose in excitement.
"We're going to need a new house, we can't fit three babies in the Loft. There's barely enough space for the three of us as it is!" Jo said with a shaking her head.
"It'll be worth it," Alex said, leaning down and kissing her again, and Jo knew that regardless of how terrified she was to carry twins, it would be worth it.
"This is so not fair," Amelia said as she stared at Jo, who was lying on the bed with a smile completely drugged up as her epidural kicked in.
As the two of them entered their third trimester, they agreed that they were both done with being pregnant, and they had been pretty miserable in the last few months. They had been doing everything to try and induce labor, but to no avail, until now.
They had been eating lunch together with their kids and whining together about being pregnant when Jo's water had broken. Given that baby A was breech and both twins had large heads, Jo and Carina agreed that a C-section was necessary. Instead of being scared or anxious like Amelia thought she would be, Jo was actually excited to be in labor and had had a smile across her face ever since her water broke. Then again Jo had been an OB resident for a while now, and she knew exactly what she was getting into. So she just laid there, smiling and happily rubbing her belly.
"Oh your just jelly I went into labor first, but I have two Karev baby's inside of me that have been torturing me for the past nine months, and now they get to come out, and I'll be free," Jo said smirking up at her, extremely excited for her C-section.
"Yeah, until they're here and they're hanging off your boobs 24/7," Amelia said, as she rolled her eyes, and Jo just shrugged, still smiling.
"Mama, babies here?" Luna asked, looking up from where she and Scout were settled in the chair across the room, watching a show on the tablet.
"Your sisters aren't here yet, Little Moon, but soon," Jo reassured her with a smile.
"Mommy, my baby's here?" Scout asked, having heard Luna's question and looking up as well. He had been calling the baby his baby ever since they got him a baby doll that they used to teach him about the new baby.
"Not yet bud, I guess they're still cooking," Amelia said, looking down at her swollen stomach as she rubbed her belly.
One of the nurses Jo was friends with was supposed to be there any minute to take Luna and Scout back down to daycare. For now, they were all just hanging out in Jo's room. Luna slipped off of the seat and tottled over to Jo's bed. To both of their surprise, Luna crawled up on the bed and settled next to Jo, who wrapped her arms around her daughter and cuddled her close.
"Hey babies," Luna said, pressing her mouth against Jo's belly to talk to her younger sisters. "Time to come out now."
Amelia and Jo both laughed as Jo pulled Luna back to hug her close and placed a kiss on her head in between her two little blonde pigtails. Luna seemed content to cuddle against her mom's side, and Scout came over too, missing his best friend, and Amelia pulled him up to sit on her ever small lap as they started the show again. A few minutes later, nurse Sophie came in to take them down to the daycare.
"Bye, Mommy," Scout said, kissing her cheek before he hopped down and took Sophie's hand.
"Bye Mama, bye babies, come out soon," Luna said, kissing Jo and then leaning down to kiss her belly before Sophie lifted her off the bed. Scout took Luna's hand as they both waved to them as they left.
"I just heard from Carina, she is still getting the OR prepped, and I heard that Dr. Karev just got out of surgery and is on his way up," Sophie said as she ushered the kids out into the hall.
"Thank you," Jo said as Sophie closed the door before she looked back at Amelia with a smirk. "Still jealous?"
"Shut up," Amelia said as she shook her head and looked away while Jo only giggled.
Jo closed her eyes and enjoyed a little bit of peace and quiet before she had to go up for her C-section. To be honest, Amelia was a little envious that Jo had gone into labor already. This was her third pregnancy, and at 38 weeks, Amelia was ready to be done. Jo had also been complaining about being pregnant with the twins from the very beginning. At this point, she was measuring at 45 weeks, despite being only 37 weeks and her belly was the size of a beach ball, compared to Amelia's smaller basketball sized belly.
Jo wasn't even supposed to be at the hospital, as she was technically on maternity leave, but Carina and Alex had her come in every day so that they could keep a close eye on her. Although, Jo was stuck at the nurse's station doing paperwork and taking calls. Amelia, however, was eagerly committed to working up until her water broke. It was a good distraction from her frustration of not being in labor yet. Besides, she knew that when she went on maternity leave, she would miss surgery. So she had scheduled as many as she could and had two craniotomies later this afternoon.
A few moments later, Carina knocked before she came into the room. "Okay, Jo, the OR is ready."
"Wait, Alex isn't here yet," Jo pleaded, her smile disappearing as she frantically looked between Amelia and Carina. "I can't do this without him."
"It is alright, Jo, you are only a few centimeters dilated, and your contractions aren't very close, so we're in no rush," Carina said, coming over to reassure Jo as she placed a hand on her shoulder and Jo took a deep breath and relaxed.
Amelia squeezed Jo's hand as she looked back at her and took another deep breath. Carina came over and sat in the chair on Jo's other side and took her hand. Jo closed her eyes and laid back on the bed, trying to relax until Alex got there. Amelia had gone through her labors with both of her sons without their father's present. She knew how hard it was and was so grateful that her friends and Bailey had been there for her, and she was determined to stay with Jo throughout her labor and C-section.
Ever since they had both gotten pregnant, Jo and Amelia had gone through most of their milestones together, although Amelia was a week ahead of Jo. Amelia had taught Jo all the tricks she used to make her pregnancy easier, although it was hard for Jo carrying the twins either way. They had found out together, they had gone to appointments together. They had even helped each other make up the nurseries as they had both bought houses side by side. Jo and Alex rented out the Loft to Levi and Link and Amelia finally moved out of Meredith's place. Together, they combined their backyards to create one giant yard for all of their kids to play in together.
Suddenly, the door swung open as Alex rushed in, with Link just behind him. Carina got up and moved from Jo's side as Alex scrambled over to her. "I'm here, I'm here, Jo!"
Alex cupped Jo's face with his hand and rubbed her cheek with his thumb as Jo's eyes fluttered open and she smiled at him. "You made it."
"Of course I made it. I wouldn't miss this for the world and I got out of surgery as quickly as I could," Alex whispered to her as he leaned over to kiss her forehead.
Link came up behind her as he wrapped one arm around her shoulders, placing the other on her belly as they felt the baby kick, and Amelia smiled up at him.
"Alright, now that the other Dr. Karev is here, are we ready to go up?" Carina asked as she placed her hands on the railing at the end of Jo's bed.
"Meredith's still good to take Luna tonight, right?" Jo asked, looking up at Alex as he squeezed her hand.
"Yep, I called her as I was running up, and she said she'd bring Luna up once you're ready for visitors. Then she'll take her home for the next few days while you and the girls are in the hospital," Alex assured her as he held Jo's hand up against his lips and laid a kiss on the back of her hand.
"And she's going to be there too, right?"
"Yep, she's going to meet us in the OR. Everyone's there waiting for you."
Jo nodded, signaling that she was ready to go and Alex helped Carina get Jo prepped to move as he put the hair net over her hair and checked her IV again before they took off the brakes and began to wheel Jo out of the room.
"Are you sure you're okay with all of us being there?" Link asked again as he gripped the railing and helped push the bed down the hall and Amelia walked beside him.
The plan was for the four of them, including Meredith, to be in the OR. Although Amelia had heard that several other people would be up in the gallery as the whole hospital was eager to see the arrival of the Karev twins.
"Yeah, it's just surgery on my belly. It's not like you guys are gonna see my vagina," Jo said with a shrug as Alex and Amelia chuckled while Link turned red.
As they walked down the hall, Amelia paused for a second, letting go of the bed rail as she clutched her belly. She had been having Braxton Hicks contractions for the past few weeks, but they had ramped up earlier this morning, although she thought they had slowed down.
"Amelia, are you all right," Link asked as he paused as well and put his hand on her back, rubbing up and down.
"Amelia?" Carina's gentle voice reached her ear, but Amelia didn't respond as her contraction continued. When it finally passed she thought it was all over, until she felt a trickling of wetness run down her thighs.
"Oh boy," Amelia said as she looked down to see her scrub pants turn dark as her amniotic fluid stained her pants.
"Your water broke. You're in labor!" Link excitedly said, almost jumping up and down next to her.
Jo smiled as she looked over at her and reached out to squeezed Amelia's hand. "I told you the babies were in sync!"
"Seriously, you too," Alex said as he looked between Jo and Amelia.
"Okay," Carina said, taking control of the situation. "Amelia, you stay here, and Dr. Link can go get you a wheelchair. I know we planned for either I or Jo to deliver your baby, but it looks like we might have to have someone else. I'll have a nurse page either Lebeck or Connie."
"Aww, I wanted to deliver your baby," Jo said with a frown.
"Not my first choice, but they're nice enough," Amelia said with a shrug.
"Alright then, hey Jenny, could you please page the on-call OB," Carina said before she looked back at Amelia. "They'll get you settled and check on your progress. Then after Jo's C-section, I'll come to check on you and hopefully be able to deliver your baby."
"Sounds good," Amelia said, looking over at Carina with a nod. "Besides, I've done this two times already. I know what I'm doing."
"Keep us updated though!" Jo insisted, giving Amelia's hand another squeeze.
"We will," Link said, as he grabbed a wheelchair from one of the adjacent rooms and helped Amelia sit down.
They waved Jo off as they continued down the hall before nurse Jenny took them back up to L & D.
"Ready to have a baby?" Link said, smiling down at her as his eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Yep," Amelia said, smiling as she let his excitement fill her as well. She was so excited to finally have her baby. "Meredith and Maggie are going to be doing a lot of babysitting tonight."
Several hours later, Jo was lying in bed with one of the babies on her chest with a newborn blanket covering them. Alex had the other newborn on his chest as he sat on the chair next to her. Her C-section had gone well and both she and the girls were healthy. She had been transferred into the postpartum ward, where she had breastfed them before the three of them took a nap. She had woken up a few hours later as one of the babies was fussing, but now they were doing skin to skin with each girl as they discussed names.
Still, she wasn't surprised when Carina opened the door to see that her new roommates were Link, Amelia, and their newborn baby girl as Link wheeled them into the room. Link had kept her updated on Amelia's labor which had progressed normally, if not a little faster since it was her third. Yet, Carina had still had time to deliver the twins before going to help Amelia deliver her baby.
"Hey, you three," Alex said, smiling up at him.
"Hey, you four," Amelia said as she looked over at them as Jo and Alex exchanged a smile before they looked down at the babies in their arms.
"Guys meet baby A," Alex said, gesturing to the little girl in his arms before looking over at the little girl on Jo's chest. "And baby B."
Link parked them next to Jo's bed as she moved the blanket back so they could see the little girl resting on her chest. She had the purple hat Helen had knitted, and her sister had the green one as their heads were too big for the hospital hats. Alex moved to sit down at Jo's bedside, and they held the girls next to each other. They looked exactly the same, but they were identical after all. They had the same big heads and round cheeks, although they were both utterly adorable and looked exactly like her. According to Alex, at least although, Jo thought they looked an awful lot like him.
"Still no names yet," Link said with a laugh as Alex chuckled too and Jo just shrugged.
"At least this one's got a birthmark on the bottom of her foot so we can tell them apart," Alex said, pulling a little girl's foot out of the blanket to show them a tiny birthmark on the sole of her heel.
"It looks like Pangea," Link said as he tilted his head to look at it.
"That's what I said," Alex said with a smile as the boys chuckled, and Jo rolled her eyes.
"How are you doing?" Jo asked Amelia as Link and the nurse helped her into the bed.
"Exhausted and tired, but still kind of in awe," Amelia said as she stared down with a little girl and her arms. "What about you?"
"Very, very much in awe," Jo said as she looked down at the little girl on her chest before looking at the little girl in Alex's arms. "And pretty sore, but only a little tired as the three of us just woke up from a nap."
"Lucky," Amelia said as Jo giggled.
"We'll probably take another nap soon, but we have to decide on the names for them first," Jo said, rubbing her hand up and down her baby's back.
"Do you want to know her name?" Amelia asked, transferring the newborn into Link's arms.
"Guys meet, Sawyer Carolyn Maureen Shepherd Lincoln," Link said as he proudly came over and showed them the little newborn who was the spitting image of Amelia with her nose, and chin, and tufts of dark hair.
"Poor kid is gonna have a great time with the paperwork on that one," Alex said with a chuckle.
"Alex!" Jo lightheartedly snapped at him as she slapped his arm. "It's a beautiful name."
"It's okay, he's kind of right. We could barely fit it on the birth certificate," Amelia said with a shrug as Link came back over and sat in the chair next to the bed.
"What names did you guys have in mind? I know you were throwing around a few," Link said, peering over at the little girls.
"Yeah, we have a few in mind, but we keep arguing," Jo said, staring down at the little girl in her arms before adjusting the hat on her head as she thought of the names they had been throwing around.
"Jo's still loopy from the drugs. She wanted to name one of them Clover," Alex said, making a face.
"It's nice!" Jo insisted as she stared down at the little girl in her arms.
They had both agreed to do flower names as those were the ones they seemed drawn to. They wanted something that would be common but also unique enough that they wouldn't have kids with the same name in their classes. So far, they had gone through a few names, but nothing seemed to fit.
"Do we still like Lily?" Alex asked, staring down at the little girl in his arms.
"Lily, I'm getting some Harry Potter vibes there," Amelia said, raising her eyebrow at him.
Alex just snorted. "Only preteen girls would care about that."
"Alex, you work with preteen girls," Jo reminded him with a raised eyebrow.
He was already making plans to take the twins over to the Ped's ward to show them off to all of his kids. They were eagerly awaiting the twin's arrival, if not to poke fun at Alex for being a Dad of three girls.
"Oh yeah," Alex's eyes went wide as he realized it. "Well, it was a long labor."
"What are you talking about? My C-section was just an hour long, and all you did was pull them out and cut the cord. I've done all the hard work for the past nine months," Jo said, glaring at him so hard she almost put him six feet under.
Alex could tell that he had messed up on that one and gave her a sheepish look. "Sorry Jo, you did do all the hard work and I did nothing. You were amazing."
Jo accepted his apology as he leaned forward and pressed to kiss to her cheek and her glare lessened. She looked down at her daughter and tried to think of how the name would sound on each of the girls.
"I don't really think either of them are a Lily, besides it's too common," Jo said, staring down at the little girl in her arms. "I think this one's an Ivy."
"Yeah," Alex said, looking down at her, she looked up as their eyes met before they looked down at the little girl in Alex's arms. "What do we think about Rose? She seems like a Rose?"
"I like it," Jo agreed as she reached out to hold Rose's hand as her tiny fingers wrapped around Jo's big finger. "Rose Meredith Karev and Ivy Josephine Karev."
"My beautiful little flower girls," Alex said, looking down at the twins before he leaned forward to kiss her.
Eventually, they all settled in, and Alex and Link lined up the bassinets in between their beds, placing the newborns inside of them as they quietly talked and took a few photos.
Amelia smiled as she looked over at all of the babies. "I can't believe Link dared you into getting pregnant."
"I can't believe you let him get you pregnant after I dared him back," Jo said with a smile as they exchanged a laugh.
"Best game of truth or dare ever," Amelia said as she reached out to where Sawyer's hand had slipped out of the swaddle and she ran her fingers up and down her tiny arm.
"Yeah," Jo easily agreed as she looked over at her little flower girls before she looked over to see that Amelia had laid her head back in her bed as her eyes closed.
Jo quickly followed suit as all of the girls got the nap they deserved while the boys looked over their daughters. Who would have thought that they would have ended up with three perfect little girls after getting drunk one night where Jo and Link dared each other to give the other another godchild, but neither Jo nor Amelia were complaining.
AN: I promised Coco that I would give her twins a while back and I finally did. Also, Jo really jinxes herself with this one. Let me know if you caught all the hints about the twins.
