Chapter seventeen- February 7th 2030

Thank you for all the love! I hope up you enjoy and I'm seeing you all love and happiness!

Chapter seventeen Plot- What happens when a person from one doctors past shows up at Grey Sloan Memorial. Jo and Alex receive the news that may change there life.

"What does my blood work up say?" Jo asks Arizona as she and Alex sit anxiously in her office awaiting the blood results.

I'm so anxious, I don't even know why. I was never this anxious with the girls, and they were unplanned. Maybe it's because so much hope is pinned on weather an embryo has stuck to my uterus wall.

"Are you sure you want to know?" Arizona asks.

"Yes, we want to know, please, just tell me," Jo begs.

"It's positive, you're pregnant. Around 8 weeks," Arizona smiles.

Jo and Alex look at each other and hug. No words needed to be said because they both knew exactly what each other were thinking.

As they break free from the hug Alex receives a page. "Um, I've gotta go. Is that okay?" Alex says slowly.

"Sure. What is it? Are you okay?" Jo asks concerned.

"Somebody old is here to see me. Are you sure it's okay?" he replies.

"All I'll do now is prescribe Jo some supplements to take as well as some vitamins and I'll do a health check up as well as give her some instructions for a healthy pregnancy. You're not needed here now anyway," Arizona replies.

"And this is Jo, she's the mother of my baby," Alex says.

"And who's this?" Jo asks inquisitively as she looks up at the woman that Alex was now standing with in Jo's office.

"This is Izzie Stevens," Alex replies.

"Izzie? As in your ex wife Izzie?" Jo asks.

"Yes, that Izzie," Alex replies.

Wholly crap, she's a lot more beautiful then Alex gave her credit for.

"And are you guys okay now? Are you good?" Jo asks.

"After a long and intense conversation, We're good," Alex replies.

"Okay, good," Jo says.

"Congratulations, how far along are you?" Izzie asks Jo.

"I'm 8 weeks. We found out today actually," Jo replies.

"Well congratulations, again," Izzie says awkwardly.

"Thank you," Jo replies. "How long are you back for?" She continues.

"I got a job actually, as a Foetal Surgeon and OBGYN. I start next week," she replies.

"Oh, right," Jo replies. "Well done," Jo replies without knowing what else to say. "Are you single? Married? Dating? Do you have children?" Jo asks.

Wow Jo, you really need a filter don't you? We need to work on that, you can't go spitting questions out like that to people that you barley know. Especially personal questions.

"I am married. We have a son, Luca, who's 10 and a girl, Ashley, who's 7," Izzy replies.

"Lovely," Jo says genuinely. "I bet they keep you on your toes. I know my kids do," Jo replies.

"How old are your kids?" She asks.

"Zara is 10, Eloise is 7, Ruby is 3 and Lily is 2 next month," Jo replies.

"I bet they would. Are they your kids together?" Izzie asks.

And once again my blunder about asking personal questions causes personal questions for me. I've really gotta get this under control...

"No," Jo replies. "They're just mine," Jo replies.

"And are you guys dating, married or what?" Izzie asks.

"Oh, us?" Jo asks laughing "um, no... we're not... we're not together. That would only end in disaster again," Jo laughs.

"Oh, um, I'm sorry that it didn't work out," Izzie replies awkwardly.

"It's fine honestly. It was over ten years ago. And Like I said, I've got four children," Jo replies.

"But aren't you having his baby?" Izzie asks slightly confused.

"Oh, yes, I am," Jo says nodding her head.

"She is," Alex says.

"It's kind of like a business arrangement though. I wanted to have another baby and Alex wanted to... He Needed to be a dad. So here we are," Jo says.

"That's one arrangement," Izzie replies.

"Well It was either my husbands sperm or Alex's," Jo replies.

"Then wouldn't you choose to have you husbands baby? Is he okay with you having another man's baby?" Izzie asks shocked.

"Oh, my husband, my husband is dead," Jo replies.

Did that sound to insensitive? Like it was too cut throat? Like I didn't care that my husband died? It came out all wrong.

"That's horrible. I am so sorry," Izzie replies.

"Having his baby would be a step back. And I've come so far. It has taken me nearly two years, but I've come far," Jo replies.

"Jo and I startedI dated way back when she was at the end of her intern year. We dated all the way through to almost the end of her 5th year and then as Jo likes to say, 'shit happened' we broke up, She moved away and I went to jail," Alex replies.

"I heard about that stint and what the hell were you thinking Alexander Karev?" She asks sternly.

"Let's not talk about it. It happened, it's in the past. I'm moving forward," Alex replies.

"So... there's no romantic attraction between you guys now, what so ever?" Izzie asks.

"Hell no!" Jo exclaims while Alex remains silent.

Crap, why didn't Alex answer. He doesn't have feelings for me does he? He can't have feelings for me, we're having a baby as friends. Crap Karev, why do you do this too me?

"I've gotta go. I've got surgery," Alex says before exiting the room.

"Ha! You have got to be freaking kidding me right? Honey, he's got feelings for you. It's radiating from his freaking body. The way he looks at you, the way he talks about you. He's got freaking feelings for you," Izzie replies.

"Oh, no, he doesn't have feelings me," Jo replies in denial.

"Josephine, he has got feelings for you," Izzie replies.

"No, no, you don't understand. He can't have feelings for me, it's been nearly two years, and I've moved on past the worst of my grief, but I still love my husband. I'm not ready," Jo replies panicking.

This can't be happening, this can't be happening. I can't... I can't have Alex's baby if he has feelings for me. This is a business arrangement and nothing more. I need to find him and ask him straight on.

Jo walks down to the OR scrub room, where Alex was prepping for surgery.

"What the hell Alex? You have feelings for me? We're supposed to be having a baby as friends, you can't have a feelings for me!" Jo snaps as she walks into the scrub room.

"What are you talking about?" Alex asks.

"You have feelings for me. And the more I think about it and the more people tell me, the more I see it. This is... This is Unbelievable. It can't happen Alex. What ever feelings you have for me you need to get rid of your feelings. Just shove them out of your mind," Jo says panicking.

"You're right. I have feelings for you. I always have and always will. And to be honest when you came back and you'd moved on I was devastated. I love you Jo," Alex confesses.

"You can't Alex, you can't love me," Jo pleads while freaking out.

"Why not Jo?" Alex presses.

"Because I don't love you in that way Alex. I still love my husband!" She snaps. "I have to go," she replies while crying.
