Tuesday

Jo was laying on the couch her hands in her basket ball sized belly ignoring completely the TV.

"C'mon kick. I know you can. You have two big legs. Kick. It's not that difficult. Give me something to tell your daddy when he arrives home. I know you're in there, I can feel you moving. I'm asking you to kick stubborn tiny human. You're as obstinate as your father right? I bet you'll kick for the first time while we have sex."

In that moment Alex entered the room, she hadn't heard his key before, she was too focused on her chat with the baby.

"Who are you going to have sex with?" She sat up to make room for him on the couch.

"With you stupid. And then she will kick." Alex sat next to her and put his arm in her shoulders. He looked at her with concern.

"Are you worried?" She nodded softly.

"In my book of med school said the mother was able to star feeling the baby kicking between weeks 16 and 22. We're in week 21. And she hasn't kicked. Maybe she has a development problem. We should go to the doctor again." When she said that he kissed her forehead and started rubbing her arm.

"That does not mean that she has a development problem. Generally women feel the baby kicking between weeks 16 and 22 but sometimes it happens later and that does not mean the baby is not ok. Besides if it is the first pregnancy it usually takes longer for the mother to feel the first kicking. So don't worry, if in a couple weeks you still haven't felt anything we can go to the OB/GYN, ok?"

"Ok." After saying that she sat on his lap and started placing kisses in his jaw and neck.

"What are you doing?"

"Provoking her. Shut up"

Saturday

Her pregnancy hadn't stopped Jo to work as many hours as the rest of residents if not more. She was the favorite of all the attendings so her OR time was a lot compared with the rest. Alex and her were about to enter their patient's room to prepare the patient they were going to perform surgery on when she felt the baby kicking softly.

"Oh my god, Alex" when he turned around she reached for his hand, forgetting about the patient and her family who were looking at them. She put his hand in her belly and waited until the baby kicked again. She looked into his eyes and smiled at him.

"She kicked Alex. She kicked." Alex smiled and wrapped his arms around Jo. He put his lips in her ear and whispered. "See? She's ok" Jo put her arms around his neck and rested her head in his chest. "She's ok. Our baby is ok."

"Of course she is. She has Karev genes." When he said that Jo pulled apart and slapped his arm.

"You were being all sweet and you have just ruined it." He put his arms around her shoulders and kissed the top of her head.

"You love me even when I'm a jerk"

"You're lucky that I do." That was the moment the patient's mother decided to force them to acknowledge their present by fake-coughing. Jo jumped when the woman did that and looked around her ashamed.

"Mmm… eh… Doctor Karev. Do you want me to explain Lizzie's parents the procedure?"

"That's a good idea… Doctor Wilson."

She was about to start talking about the surgery when the little girl in the bed interrupted her.

"Are you two married?"

Jo smiled at the girl and answered "No we're not."

"No? But you're going to have a baby." Lizzie's voice was full of curiosity.

Alex walked towards Jo and put his arm around her shoulders and looked at the girl: "We are not married Lizzie. But we love each other and I want to spend the rest of my life of my life with her". He looked down at Jo now, talking to her "I want to make you as happy as you have made me. Until I met you I was afraid of falling in love, of giving my heart away; but then you came in with your beautiful smile and your sassy attitude and I couldn't help falling in love with you; giving you my heart and each time I look at you I can only see all those things I fell in love with. I want to be the one who makes you smile everyday and be there for you when the bad memories haunt you. I want to be the one you rely on in the hard times. I want to be the one that eases your pain. I want to protect you from everything.. I want to do all those things for you… forever. I want to be your husband. And I hope you want the same thing." During the whole speech he was staring directly into her eyes and when he looked up at Lizzie and then back at her he saw tears in her eyes.

Jo smiled in her tears, put her hand in his neck and pressed her forehead to his.

"Yes, I do. I want to be your wife. I want to spend the rest of my life with you." Alex leaned in to kiss her quickly and then looked back at the girl in the bed. "See Lizzie? We're practically married."

Jo was about to enter the lab when Alex intercepted her, holding her wrist softly.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" she smiled at him at kissed him quickly.

"Tired."In that moment he remembered that she had been working for at least 48 eight hours straight and he didn't think it twice before starting walking towards an on call room, dragging her with him.

He entered, with her following him, and locked the door. She looked at him shocked.

"What are you doing? I was going to run some labs for Meredith."

"She can wait, how long have you being without seeping?" Jo looked at him wanting to tell him she could take care of herself but stopped when she saw the truly concerned expression in his face. "I… took a nap… thirty hours ago but one of my stupid interns woke me up." He walked to the bed and laid there, waiting for her to do the same thing; patting the spot next to him. She followed him and laid next to him, her head resting in his chest and started talking.

"My shift ended like twelve hours ago, I was looking for an on call room to get some sleep before going home when Meredith asked me if I wanted to scrub in on her cool tumor surgery, and of course I said yes" he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her forehead.

"Just try to sleep. When we wake up we can go home together. I love you" When she spoke again her voice sounded slow and tired.

"I had a beautiful dream while I was taking a nap. We got married. In a hospital room. It was perfect. It was us." When he said that he hugged her close.

"It wasn't exactly a wedding more like a marriage proposal but it was real. And I consider myself your husband. I want to be a good husband for you Jo. And I want to be a good father for our daughter."

"You are the best husband I could ask for. I love you."
