Alex's throat went dry as Meredith said those words. She searched his face for some sign of hope in his eyes. And right now, she wasn't sure what she saw. He still held her hand tightly. Her eyes fell to the hands that rested on the bed between them. She dropped a big bomb on him as soon as she got out of a coma he had been in for two months. But, he had the right to know. She stared at the end of the bed and could feel him staring at her. His hand touched the side of her face and turned her head towards him. He kissed her slowly at first growing more and more passionate. They sat there and kissed for what seemed like forever.

"I love you," Alex said between kisses.

"I love you too," She said back.

Eventually, they pulled back.

"How far along are you?" Alex said.

"Almost three months," Meredith said.

"And twins? As in two babies?" Alex said in almost disbelief. She nodded. "Whoa. We're going to be parents."

"Yeah," Meredith sighed as she let her head fall back some. He squeezed her hand. "I don't know if I can do it."

"We can do this. You'll be a great mother," Alex said reassuringly.

"You'll be a great father," She said back.

The next day…

The others were paged at four and they all came in to see him. They were VERY happy he was finally awake.

Meredith talked to her interns and assigned them to the pit or an attending. Then, she headed back to Alex's room to listen to what the other doctors all had to say. She knew that he couldn't wait to leave.

"Hey," Meredith smiled at him as she walked into the room.

"Hey," Alex said as he brought some of his breakfast to his mouth but withdrew it and looked at it. He made a face and threw it down. She smiled again before leaning over and kissing him. He moved over and she sat down in the bed. He put her hand down on her stomach. A knock came at the door and he took his hand off taking her hand. They both looked up as it opens and a team of doctors filed in. The Chief, Derek, Callie, Mark, and Bailey.

"Good morning, doctors," Chief said nodding to both of them, giving Meredith a little bit of a strange look not knowing how strong their relationship was. He knew they were seeing each other, but not the whole thing. Such as… the babies.

"Good Morning," They both said at once.

"So we're going to run down the injuries, the progress, and everything else," The Chief said and looked at Alex. "Dr. Shepherd."

Derek was staring at their locked hands.

"Dr. Shepherd?" Chief repeated.

"Huh? What? Oh yeah… Okay, Dr. Kerev, you had no brain damage. All bleeding that you had two months ago has long since healed. We had to release pressure on your brain, when you came in, so we had to do surgery to do so. I would like to get another MRI and CT, today." Derek finished. Alex nodded.

"Dr. Torrez?" Chief said.

"Okay, Dr. Kerev, you came in and had a broken arm, a pretty busted up knee, and broken leg. The arm and leg… the cast was removed not too long ago. Your knee… It's still looks pretty bad. So I wasn't to get an x-ray and probably to insure no long term problems we'll need to have you on a cane or crutches, depending on the x-ray."

"Dr. Sloan?" Chief said.

"Alright, um… When you came in you had multiple large lacerations. So you know, I worked my magic," The whole room rolled their eyes at Mark. "Whatever. The point is, Dude, there are going to be no scares. There's no need for me to be all formal." He said to the doctors that were rolling their eyes again.

"Dr. Bailey?" Chief said.

"Well, Kerev, I had to remove your spleen. Everything is fine, okay?" Bailey said.

"I sound like I was in pretty bad shape." Alex stated. "But, seriously, cut to the chase, the important stuff… When will I get to go home? When can I come back to work?"

"Well, Dr. Kerev, if everything checks out you might be able to be released at the end of the week and maybe back at work in a month." The Chief answered.

"A month?" Alex groaned.

"Dr. Grey?" Chief said making Meredith look up.

"Will you be able to cover for him for a month?" He said.

"Uh… yeah," Meredith nodded.

"Mere… are you sure about…?" Alex started.

"Shut up," Meredith cut him off.

"Okay," Alex sighed.
