"Are you sure that the girls are strong enough? They're still so little," Jo says as Arizona explains that the twins were going to be moved to Grey Sloan via medical helicopter.
"They will be perfectly safe. They are in great hands. I will be I will be there the entire time and Jo, both you and Alex can be there with me," Arizona explains.
"I'm just scared, that's all," Jo replies.
"I know you are babe. I'm scared too, but we'll get through this," Alex replies. He grabs Jo's hand and she squeezes tightly. She turns to face him and looks into his eyes.
It's going to be okay. It's going to be okay. As I look into his eyes I can tell it's all going to be okay. Alex Karev, I don't know how you do it but you always have. The ability to make me feel so safe and makes me feel like everything is okay. Even when I have the universe against me you still somehow manage to make me feel like that. And I love that. Even though the twins have the world against them I know that they're going to be okay. And that's because Alex makes me feel that way. And I couldn't be more grateful to have him.
At Grey Sloan Memorial
"I can't believe this is it," Steph exclaims to Meredith as the pair wait on the helicopter pad waiting for the impending arrival of Alex and Jo's babies.
"I remember the first time I laid eyes on my babies. It was a magical and amazing feeling. I haven't even met these babies yet, and I can already tell that I'm going to have that same feeling," Meredith smiles.
"Me too," Steph replies.
"I can't believe that Alex is a dad. Alex Karev is a freaking father," Meredith grins.
"Here they come!" Steph exclaims as she sees and hears the helicopter approaching. Steph and Meredith take a few steps back and brace themselves for the helicopters landing. When the helicopters lands they rush over to it and open the door.
"Are you ready to meet your godchildren?" Jo grins. Alex and Jo had named Meredith and Steph to be the godparents.
"You bet," Meredith replies.
"Absolutely," Steph replies.
Scene break- scene break
"How are you guys going?" Steph asks Jo as she walks knot the NICU room that the twins were in. Jo and Alex had set the NICU room up to comfort the twins and to make it feel like a home.
"Much better now we're back here. My whole family's together again," Jo smiles.
"You've really made this place look like home," Steph comments.
"Alex and I got married," Jo blurts out.
Wow Jo, this blurting thing. You don't have a filter. Maybe if you tried to ease somebody into a conversation like this in seats of blurting it out they wouldn't react so shocked. Well, what's done is done, but girl, you really need to remember to work on it...
"You what!" Steph exclaims as he eyes begin to practically pop out of her head.
"We got married," Jo smiles.
"When did this happen?" Steph exclaims.
"8 weeks go," Jo replies back while smiling.
"And you wanted this long to tell me why? It's been 8 freaking weeks!" Steph exclaims.
"I'm sorry," Jo replies. "I never intended on waiting this long to tell you but it just happened. Actually I never intended on coming back from Middleton Engaged, let alone married, but It kind of just happened, you know?" Jo replies.
"No, I don't know. So how about you tell me?" Steph says as she pulls up a nurses wheely seat and sits next to Jo.
"Well Sabrina went into surgery and Zach went to have some scans and checks done so Alex and I were in the waiting room and then he kinda just proposed. Then later that day I suggested that we go and get Married in the Chapel. We ended up saying 'I Do' at the exact time and day we met over ten years ago," Jo replies.
"Wow, thats kinda like a real life fairytale," Steph exclaims.
She's right… It is like a real life fairytale when you think about it….
"Anyway now we're married and we're here," Jo smiles.
"Where is Karev anyway?" Steph asks curiously.
"He's gone to get some food," Jo smiles.
"But he's back now and he's brought Arizona," Alex smiles as he walks into the NICU.
"Well, I don't fancy eating Arizona, but hey? I'm hungry," Jo replies with a grin.
"I brought you chips for that," Alex laughs.
"The twins are doing exceptionally well given everything they've been through. You guys made them tough. You did a great job," Arizona smiles.
She's right we did do a great job. After everything they've been through they're still alive. We did a great job...
"How long before they can come home?" Alex asks curiously.
"I'd like to keep them here at least until they're due date. At this stage I'm confident Sabrina and Zach will get to come home in six weeks," Arizona replies.
"Thank you for everything you're doing. You saved they're lives. I don't know how we will ever repay you," Jo smiles.
"You don't ever have to," Arizona smiles before leaving the room.
