To the guest who reviewed on the 18th of February: I'm sorry that you feel so disappointed with the direction of this story. If you read the description carefully it says that she comes back 'more then 10 years later'. That means that if she had of come back with Alex's child that, according to my timeline, she'd be almost 11 years old. You have to remember that it was over a year after she left that she met David. She didn't at all move on easily from Alex and if you keep reading you'll see that. I don't know if you read the first chapter properly, but it stated that all of her children were unplanned and accidents. That means that she wasn't planning her first pregnancy, it kind of just happened. So in some ways she was forced to move on a lot quickly then she was probably planning to. And her other three children were unplanned as well.

You will find out what happened to Alex in this chapter, so please keep reading. Then maybe you'll understand the story a little bit more. It's really a story that you have to read more then the first chapter to understand what's going on and why it is.

None the less, thank you for taking the time to review my story and I hope that you continue to do so.

Thank you for the follows and favourites and Thank you to the other reviews. They mean the world to me so thank you all so, so much. I hope that you enjoy this chapter and please leave a review if you can.

Sending you all much love and happiness!

Chapter two- July 5th 2028

Chapter two plot- Jo works up the courage to visit the hospital.

"No! I don't want to hear it! I said no hitting Eloise! If you hit Zara She's going to hit you back!" Jo says sternly as she pulls up her car outside of Grey Sloan Memorial.

"But Mummmmm!" Five year old Eloise whines.

"Hey! What did I say? If you choose to hit, she's going to hit back. You made a bad choice," Jo replies sternly.

Please kids, no fighting. Not today, I can't deal with it today. Today is a hard enough day as it is, I don't need your fighting to make it any harder.

Jo breaths in and out deeply before getting out of the car and opening up the back of her car to get out her pram. She pulls out Lily's baby capsule and attaches it to her pram. Next Jo grabs out soon to be two year old Ruby and puts her in the bottom part of the pram. Ruby had a habit of getting excited at new places and running away, so even though Jo knew that Ruby could walk, she didn't want to risk her running away in the hospital. It could be a very dangerous place to be.

Zara then unbuckles herself from her seat while Jo gets out Eloise. Once everybody was out of the car Jo instructed them to hold onto the side of the pram and then started walking towards the main entrance of the hospital.

Wow, this place hasn't changed a bit. It still looks the same. The sign is the same, the building looks the same, even the plants look the same. It's almost as if no time at all has passed in this place. I bet even the inside of the hospital looks the same.

"Mummy, where are we?" Zara asks as they make their way to the main entrance of the hospital.

Yep, exactly as I thought. This place still looks the same, even on the inside. Nothing as changed. Where should I go? I need to see Steph. Should I just walk through the hospital and look for her? No. I'd risk everybody seeing me. Reception. I'll head over to reception and get them to page Her down here. That's the safer option.

"We're at Mummy's old work. I used to work at this hospital a very long time ago," she replies smiling.

"I remember you used to take me here all the time as a baby," Zara states.

"Oh, did I?" Jo replies stunned. She was amazed at what came out of her child's mouth sometimes.

"Yeah," Zara replies.

"I think the hospital you remember is Middleton Memorial hospital, because you weren't born yet when mummy worked here," Jo replies.

"No, it was this one. I remember the big sign," Zara replies seriously.

"Okay then," Jo laughs.

"How can I help you?" The woman at reception asks.

"I need you to page Dr Stephanie Edwards," Jo says.

"Do you have an appointment?" The woman asks.

"No, but I need you to page her. I'd do it myself but I don't work here anymore. Although, if I still worked here I wouldn't need you to page her because I wouldn't be in this situation," she rambles.

"I can't page her without an appointment. If you'd like I can make you one," the woman replies.

"Just Page her and tell her that Dr Josephine Maidenway is here to see her. Trust me, if she's not in an emergency she'll be down here real quick," Jo says.

"I'm sorry. But it's protocol. I just can't page her for you," the receptionist says.

"Oh please, this hospital doesn't give a crap about the proper protocol. They never did when I worked here. Now just page her, please," Jo replies sternly.

The receptionist pages Steph hesitantly and Jo walks over with her children and sits down in the waiting area.

Scene break-Scene break

"Eloise! If you don't have anything nice to say to your sister, then please don't say anything at all!" Jo scolds.

"Zara stole my toy!" Eloise replies.

"I know, and I made her give it back. You have it back now. Mummy spoke to her so there was no need to use dirty toilet words. That's not okay," Jo replies.

"Haha!" Zara says to Eloise as she pokes out her tongue.

"Jo?" Steph asks as she walks over in the middle of the argument.

"Zara! Not okay! What did Mummy just say!? If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all! What is it with you girls and your constant fighting today? I've had enough!" Jo scolds before looking up at Steph.

Its Steph, crap. She just watched me loose it at my children, way to win mother of the year. Maybe if I fake smile she won't see how stressed I've been. Yeah, that'll work...

"Oh my gosh, Steph!" Jo says emotionally as she gets up and hugs her friend. "It has been far too long since I've seen you," Jo replies.

"I know. And I'm so sorry that I couldn't make it to the funeral. I wish that I could of," Steph says as she continues to hug Jo.

"I know you would have been there if you could. But you couldn't exactly cancel a life saving brain surgery," Jo replies. The pair break free of the hug and Steph turns her attention to Jo's children who were all still playing.

"Hey munchkins," Steph smiles.

The kids look up and they see Steph, "Aunty Stephie!" The exclaims happily and they all get up and rush over to Steph and give her a hug.

I watch as they all tell Steph a million different things. It was nice to have them see Steph again. It had been about 8 months since they last saw her and they all adored and loved her so much.

"Aw, this must be baby Lily," Steph says excitedly as she sees Lily asleep in her baby capsule. "She is so adorable," Steph says as she looks at the baby.

"Thank you," Jo smiles.

"Why did you come back here? Are you just visiting or?" Steph asks.

Great. Here come the questions. I knew that they were coming and I expected them. But I wasn't ready for them yet and that was such a basic question. There will be so many more questions from everybody else. How am I going to answer everybody else's questions if I can't even answer this one.

"I need a new start. After David died I just felt I was drowning. I could hardly breathe. It all felt so heavy, there's only so much somebody can carry before they fall, you know? I started to rebuild my life back in New Hampshire but I couldn't rebuild my life in the shadow of the life that David and I built together. I needed to build it somewhere else. But now as a widow with four children I'll need to re enter the workforce. And there would be no way I could be a working single mother of four young children without any support. So that's why I'm moving back here. So while I'm still hurting, I am going to do my best to pick up the pieces of what's left of my life and make a life for my children and I here in Seattle. I just hope that Bailey will give me a job," Jo explains.

"Well I'm glad that you're back," Steph smiles.

"Now you need to fill me in on the past 8 months of your life and you also need to fill me in on everything that's happened here. Including Alex. I know he got out what? 6 months ago?" Jo asks.

"Karev got out of prison a little over 6 months ago. He's back here working as an attending Paeds surgeon. Two months ago the new head of the Paediatrics department quit because Alex was re hired. They've got Arizona being the temp head but with being the head of Foetal surgery she's got to much on her plate. They're looking to hire a new head and you're qualified. You should apply," Steph says.

God, what would Alex say if I showed up being his new boss. He'd hate it, but it's a career opportunity I don't know I could refuse. I'd make more then enough money to support my four children and I have to think of them and not how Alex would react. My children are and will always be my number one.

"I don't think Alex would like it. But I'd be able to give my children the life that they deserve. With David being in the Navy I was lucky enough that I didn't have to work. I was so lucky to have that option to be a stay at home mother. I think it benefited my children so much. But now I have to re enter the workforce and I think that this is the perfect job to enable to give my children everything that David was able to give them. I'm going to apply, but I think I need to see Alex first," Jo says.

"I would head to HR first and apply for the job. Bailey is pretty quick at interviewing people. You might be able to get an interview before word gets around that you're back," Steph replies.
