"What the?" Alex Karev said as he pulled a snake out of his pants.
He knew right away what was happening when he saw his friends laughing in the middle of the lobby.
"Really guys really?" Alex smiled as he shoved the snake into Derek's hands.
"It wasn't me it was my boy, Alex!" Derek sneered.
"Just you wait until Jett is older he'll be bringing home all kinds of stuff!" said Mark.
"Ah I got to pick them up from daycare!" Alex started running towards the closing elevator doors.
"Get rid of the snake Shepherd!" Owen hollered as he started to leave.
"Hey Bailey! Why don't you go give this snake to your mother!" Derek said as handed the serpent to his son.
"You're joking right Dad?"
"Of course dummy, now get that slimy creature out of here, I've got to get back to work." Derek shooed Bailey into the elevator.
"Come on Marcus let's go see your Mommy" Jackson picked up Marcus and they left.
"Well it's just you and me buddy. What do you want to do" Mark asked Max.
"Burgers?"
"Burgers! That's my boy!" Mark smiled with pride.
"Hey there's my beautiful children!" Alex said as two four year-olds ran up to him.
"We missed you so much Daddy!" Jett the older twin said.
Joanna the younger twin, named after Alex's wife Jo, jumped into her father's arms.
"Alright guys let's go get your mother and head home." Alex said as he thanked the daycare staff.
As they were waiting in the lobby for Jo, the Karev's saw Meredith and her niece Alexis walking towards them.
"Hey Mer what are you and this princess up to?"
"Alex you little softie you, I told you having kids would make you nicer!" Meredith whispered into alex's ear.
"Anyways, Mark is out with Max, and Lexie is in surgery, so me and Alexis are going out to mall. We're going to get our nails done right little girl?"
Six year-old Alexis smiled at her Auntie Meredith and replied "Right Auntie!"
"Um where is the real Meredith? I'd like to speak to her." Alex whispered back to her.
"Shut up Alex you're going to have to learn this stuff for when Joanna is older!"
"Not if she's a tomboy like Taylor!" Alex nudged Meredith. " Oh I really hope Joanna is going to be a tomboy it would be so much easier." Alex thought to himself.
"Okay Alexis let's leave your Uncle Alex now. Say good bye to Joanna and Jett." Mer patted Jett on the head.
"Bye bye Jo-Jo and Jett" Alexis said as she started to skip away.
Dr. Jo Wilson or 's face lit up as soon as she saw her wonderful family waiting for her in the lobby.
"Hey there babe" she said as he kissed her on the cheek.
"Hi Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Hi!" Her two twins hugged her legs
"Hello my babies! How was your day?" Jo pretended to listen as she looked at her husband.
"We got to build a block castle and painted pictures and read stories and we even got to dress up!" the two kids rambled on about their days.
But Mr. and Mrs. Karev did nothing but stare at each other.
"Wow guys sounds like you has so much fun!" Who's hungry?"
"Me! Me! I'm so hungry! Yah so hungry!" The family walked into the elevator.
As they settled into a booth in the restaurant, and the kids busy colouring their menus, Alex finally could talk to his wife.
"So I heard from Amber today, Jo" Alex started.
"Oh how is she?"
"Well she told me in text message that she has a baby named Axl, named after me apparently."
"Really? That's great Alex you have a nephew. Wait are you happy about this?"
"I don't know. Is she ready for a kid? She didn't even bother to call me. I haven't seen her in years. She's never met the twins. I just don't know her anymore."
"Well why don't you go see her then?" Jo didn't really know what to say. She wasn't the best when it came to advice.
'Why? She never bothered to come see us. At least I called to tell her about the twins not through text message! Oh look food's here."
As they munched on fish and chips, Jo and Alex dropped their conversation and switched to answering their twins questions on how crayons were made.
After returning home and putting the kids to bed, Alex and wife sat down on the couch together.
"Alex are we going to talk about this thing with Amber?"
"No not now I just don't want to think about it. I just want to think about you." Alex said as he turned off the lights.
"The kids are in bed Jo," Alex said and a smile spread across both their faces.
"Did you have fun spending time with Auntie Alexis?" Meredith asked as she walked up the steps to her sister Lexie's house.
"Yah Auntie Mer. When can we do it again?"
"Oh anytime you want Alexis, just tell your mommy okay?" Meredith knocked on the door.
"Hey guys!" Lexie Sloan said as she hugged her daughter.
"Thanks again Mer. I owe you."
"No problem we had a great time. How was your surgery?"
"Not great, we had to close up, it got too risky."
"That's horrible I like John a lot." Mer said with remorse.
"I know it's a real shame."
"Well I better be off I got to go cook dinner. Bye bye now."
"Bye Auntie Mer!" Alexis hollered.
As Meredith was backing out of the driveway she saw her little niece showing her painted nails to her sister.
"I spoil her way too much. But it's worth it." Mer thought.
"Hello everyone I'm home!" Meredith placed her keys on the kitchen counter.
"Hey Mom guess what? I gave a snake to Dad today!" Bailey ran up to his mom.
"It's true and then it slithered up Alex's leg." Derek kissed his wife for only the second time in the day.
"Where's Zola?" Derek asked "I thought she went home with you.
"No after we dropped Sofia off at her violin lessons, she asked me to drop her off at the library. You mean she's not back yet?" Mer said.
"I'll call her" Derek pulled out his phone.
When there was no answer the two parents started to get worried.
"Zola come on hurry up!" Sofia said.
"Sof I think I should just head home. My Dad already called me."
"Zola honey, this might be the only party you're going to be invited too."
"But I wasn't invited!" Zola protested.
"That's right you're my plus one. Now come on!" Sofia rang the doorbell.
"Enjoy your High School years Zola, just don't drink anything here okay? We're still minors." Sofia chuckled.
"Sofia we're only fifteen! Why are we here? Do you know how much trouble we could get into?"
"Because Christian invited me okay? Let's just talk to him pretend like we've done this whole party thing then go home okay?"
Zola was just about to turn around and leave when the door opened and standing there was someone they knew, and cared about, Taylor Hunt.
