Part III
Alex was already a fellow and Jo was an in 4th year of Residency at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital in Seattle. Alex and her have been through so much but they still manage be together.
After their surgeries they decided to go out for a late lunch at the local cafeteria just a block from the hospital, they ordered their usual. Seafood Marinara and Club Sandwiches.
The cafeteria has a karaoke machine and you can put a dime, select a song and sing.
After their lunch, Alex tried the karaoke machine and sung 'She Could Be You' by Shawn Hlookoff since that was Jo's favorite song from Kyle XY.
At the end of the song, the people clapped their hands and Alex made his way back to Jo's table.
"Jo, there may never be a perfect time to do this so here we go." He got down on one knee and pulled out a small black box in his pocket. "Ever since I saw you outside my house that day, when we were young, I knew it would be you, the perfect match for me. That day you asked me to kiss you, I should have done it but my heart was beating so fast because I can feel your breath so close to me. So Josephine Wilson..." he opened the box which revealed a beautiful emerald ring, her favorite gemstone. "Will you marry me?"
At that time everyone who was in the cafe was seeing and hearing everything Alex had said. Jo's eyes were full of tears as she nods, unable to speak. He then put the ring on her finger and everybody clapped their hands.
The wedding was simple and huge. Most of the hospital's staff were on the wedding. Meredith was Alex's best person and Jo's maid of honor was Steph.
Alex's family was able to attend the occasion. His mom and two siblings but Jo only had Mrs. Schmidt and her son Nicholas.
Mrs. Schmidt who treated Jo like her own, were teary eyed along with Alex's mom.
"Do you Alexander Karev, take Josephine Wilson to be your lawfully wedded wife?" The priest asked as he looks at Alex with a smile. Alex's eyes never left Jo's as he said the words.
"I Do."
"And do you, Josephine Wilson, accept Alexander Karev to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
There was a pause. Too long that Alex started to get nervous that Jo doesn't want this.
"I do." Jo said with a grin on her face.
"By the power vested in me. I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss -" the minister hadn't finish yet but Alex gladly attack Jo's lips. Everyone celebrated.
They went to Hawaii for their honeymoon.
After they got home from Hawaii a week later and from the airport to the surprise destination Alex was taking Jo to, she was blindfolded. Everytime she tries to take a peek, Alex lightly slap her hands off the blind fold.
Jo felt the car slowed down to a stop.
"Okay, we're here!" Alex said excitedly. He opened his door first and let Jo out of the car while still blindfolded. He decided to carry her to the porch of their new home and set her down.
"You can take it off." Alex said and Jo gladly did.
It takes a minute for Jo's brain to process where she is. Her old home. The Anthonys' old home. Jo looked at Alex, her eyes glimmering with happiness.
"I saw it online. They said it was for sale." Alex explained and Jo kissed him right then and there.
"Thank you." She whispered as their foreheads connected. "I love you Alex Karev."
"I love you too, Jo Karev." Alex kissed her nose.
Part IV Epilogue
The blonde sixteen year old young lady was standing outside of her friend's house. It was summertime and Karlie was still inside, getting her backpack.
"Hello darling." A voice said behind her. She turned around and saw an old woman, still strong enough to walk around the city. Next to her, was an older man. The young lady assumed it was her husband.
"Hi." The young girl responded with a smile, her curly blonde hair cascaded down her red 'James Dean' shirt.
"Are you waiting for someone, dear?" The old woman asked.
"Uh, yes. I'm waiting for Karlie. I'm Taylor, we both go to school together." The young lady said.
"Oh, Karlie is such a snail sometimes." The old man remarked. Just then, Karlie emerged from the door with the same blonde hair as Taylor, only taller. They could be mistaken as twins, the married couple realized.
"Grandpa!" Karlie said, her face red from embarrassment.
"Well it's true, Karlie." Her grandma said. "And you should've at least gave your friend a drink. We educated your parents well and I know they are doing the same thing to you." She eyed her granddaughter, raising her eyebrow.
Karlie sheepishly looked down at the ground. "Sorry grandma."
"Don't apologize to me, apologize to your friend here."
"Sorry Tay." She smiled.
The whole summer Karlie and Taylor hung out, mostly at her grandmother's house. Her 87th birthday came and they all celebrated it, including Taylor of course. Then the family gathered up, Grandma in the middle to tell a story. Karlie said she always tells a story when it's her birthday. Every year the story was different, no repetitions.
This year Jo decided to tell them all of how Alex and her met. Their kids knew how but their grandchildren don't.
They all listened in on what their grandma was saying, occasionally looking at her husband.
"...I'm 87 and he's already 89 but I still look at him like the stars that shine in the sky." Jo concluded smiling at Alex and the two shared a look only lovers understand. The look of love and understanding.
The families were ready to get home. Taylor approached Jo. "Grandma, I really loved your story. Would it be alright if I make it into a song?"
"Of course, sweetheart." Jo smiled warmly at Taylor.
