The last two months had flown by and Christi was due any day now and she was getting anxious. She had been peeved when she found out Alex knew when she was practically forced to go and be with Mark and Lexie but she thought he was being so sweet that he was doing the nursery for her as a surprise. She was lying in bed and she groans. She was in pain. It was worse than it was with Seth.
"Daddy!" she yells in pain.
Mark comes running in and he goes over and sits on the edge of the bed next to her.
"What's the matter sweetheart?" he asks stroking her hair.
"It hurts, it hurts really bad," she whimpered.
"Let's get you to the hospital,"
She nods as he helps her up and out to her car where they had the car seat all set up already and her bag in the back as well.
They get to the hospital and her doctor is paged and they get her into a room and her OB is paged and he gets down and smiles.
"Hey there Christi, how are you feeling?"
"In a lot of pain." She whimpers.
"okay let me check you out." He said quickly checking her.
"Okay Christi, you're in labor and you're having contractions. As far as I can tell they're ten minutes apart and thirty seconds long and you're four centimeters dilated. I'm going to have you admit and have Alex paged."
She nods and says, "Can I get drugs? This is worse than it was with my last pregnancy. I did my last one natural but this one is killing me."
"Sure, I'll also get the anesthesiologist as well." He said walking out.
A few minutes later the anesthesiologist comes up and gives her the pain medication and she lies back relieved as Alex comes in.
"Hey babe! How are you feeling?"
"Flying high!" she giggles from the pain medication.
"High as a kite," Veronica walked in and muttered.
"At least she's not in pain." Alex said.
"It's all gonna wear off when the baby crowns." Veronica laughed as Christi rolled her eyes.
"At the moment I really don't care, as long as I'm flying high right now I'm all smiles!" she says as her OB comes back in and checks her again.
"Okay Christi you've progressed nicely. Your six centimeters dilated now." He said.
"Great!" she smiles lying back.
"Well since this is your second pregnancy you're progressing faster. I say within the next hour and half maybe two hours we should have a baby."
Alex smiles and goes and sits next to Christi and holds her hand.
"Get some rest and I'll be back soon to check on you Christi." Dr. Adams said.
Christi nods and gets comfortable and lies back and goes to sleep.
"Hey Mark can you go and get Seth please. He should be getting to the apartment right about now." Alex asks looking at the time.
"Sure, want me to bring him here?"
"Yeah, to see the baby when it's born."
"Okay, see you guys in a few." He said going and heading over to Christi and Alex's apartment to go and get Seth who also knew the sex of the baby but was sworn to keep a it a secret and was also bribed with a new action figure the he desperately wanted.
About an hour later Dr. Adams comes in and sees a happy Seth sitting on the bed next to Christi rubbing her belly.
"When is the baby coming? I wanna see my sibling." He says anxiously.
"Soon buddy." Alex said.
Seth nods as Dr. Adams says, "Okay Christi I'm gonna check you out now." He said.
Christi nods as Mark picks Seth up and sets him down and leads down to the cafeteria to get something to eat and to wait.
"Okay Christi you're about eight now. I just wanna break your water to get you moving along and to meet this little baby."
She nods and lies back as he goes to get what he needs to break her water.
He comes back a few minutes later and he breaks her water making her inhale deeply.
"And in a few minutes you two should have a baby." He smiles.
Alex smiles and kisses Christi.
"Love you."
"Love you too." She smiles then winces and grabs his hand as a contraction hits her full on as the epidural was wearing off.
"Oww." She whimpers. XXXX
About a half hour later Mark leads Seth back into the room and he sees his mom sitting up with a little pink bundle in her arms gently bouncing the baby with Alex sitting next to her with his arm around her and smiling at the little pink bundle.
"Hi mommy! Hi daddy! Do I have a sister?"
"Yea you do buddy. You wanna meet her?" Alex asks.
"Yeah!" Seth says and he goes to sit next to them.
"What's her name?" he asks.
"Kennedy Brooklyn Karev." Alex said.
"Hi Kennedy I'm your big brother Seth Alexander and as soon as you're old enough I'll teach you how to get the cookie jar down from the top of the fridge while mommy and daddy are sleeping." He said.
"Oh no he's not Kennedy because mommy and daddy changed the hiding spot of the cookie jar." Alex said.
"Aww dad no fair!" he pouts.
"Well, you'll probably find this hiding place too." Christi chuckles.
"Awesome! You hear that Kennedy I'll find the cookie jar and then I'll show you where it is." Kennedy said.
"Do that little man and no video games for two weeks." Alex said.
"Aww dad!" he whines.
Alex smiles and decides to give Christi another surprise everyone was in on it except for her they had used carbon copy paper to get her signature on the papers.
"Seth Alexander Karev stop whining." Alex said.
"Yes daddy." Seth sighs.
"Wait. Hold on you just called him Seth Alexander Karev. What's up?"
"I adopted Seth as a surprise for you." He said.
"Alex! Oh my god! That's so amazing!" she said.
"I know. Now we can be a real family." he says excitedly.
"We were already a real family," she scoffs.
"I know, but now we can be a legal family." he says as she laughs lightly.
Just then Kennedy started crying and Christi looks slightly nervous. Her step-dad wouldn't allow her near Seth so she had no idea on what to do.
"Hey it's fine. You'll get the hang of it quickly." Alex said going and sitting next to her and holding her close to him.
"Now gently bounce her. She's just fussy." Alex said.
Christi started to gently bounce Kennedy and gently patting her bottom and she quickly calms down and goes right back to sleep in her mothers arms.
"See you got the hang of it." Alex said.
Christi smiles and leans up and kisses him softly.
"Eww! Mommy! Daddy! Ewwww!" Seth complains.
"Well Seth in a few years you'll be kissing girls." Alex said.
"No." he said.
"Yes you will."
"No he won't. I'm keeping him eight forever. He's going to stay eight and that is final."
"Noooo mommy! I don't want that either!" Seth giggles.
"Well too bad kiddo you're gonna be eight forever." She laughs.
Seth just giggles and hugs him mom being mindful of Kennedy. XXXX
A few weeks later Christi was at home with Kennedy and Christi was taking a nap while Kennedy took hers. Seth was home sick so Christi and Alex were back and forth with the kids all night and both enjoying every minute of it. Sure it was rough but they enjoyed being parents and wouldn't trade it for the world or trade their kids for the world.
