"Blood pressure and pulse look good," the young nurse stated as she pulled at the Velcro cuff on Jo's arm. "Do you need anything?"

"I'm good, thanks," Jo answered brightly.

"You're sure you don't need anything," Alex clarified worriedly, briefly looking up from their daughter who was asleep in his arms.

Jo laughed slightly, "I'm fine mister overprotective, you can relax now."

"Seriously," added Meredith without looking up from the baby boy she was cradling.

"Shut up, I'm entitled to be a little concerned here since my wife is one of the few women in the entire industrialized world stubborn enough to try a vaginal delivery of twins without drugs."

"Yeah, and I did it didn't I? It's been almost twelve hours Alex. We're all fine; you can unbunch your panties now." Jo said sarcastically.

"So have you two decided on names for these cutie pies yet?" Meredith asked obviously trying to change the subject.

Alex started to speak, but Jo cut him off, "We would have but somebody was unwilling to listen to reason."

"No way in hell am I gonna have a son named Junior," Alex said defiantly.

Before Jo could respond, Meredith's pager chimed. "Well as much as I would love to stay and watch you crazy kids figure this out, I have a bowel impaction to get to. I think this little guy needs a change."

"I'll get it," Jo said as she pulled the covers off of her body and started to stand.

"Dude, you need to rest, I'll get him. Here, hold baby girl." Alex said as he shifted closer to Jo to hand off their daughter and readjust her sheets.

Jo raised an eyebrow in amusement, "Did you just call me dude?"

"Shut up, I'm tired," Alex responded with a smirk as he walked over to Meredith to take his son.

Meredith kissed her friend's cheek as she handed off the sleeping infant, "Be nice to your wife Alex, she's hormonal." Meredith smiled at Jo as she walked out, "I'll be back later to check on you guys."

Jo looked down at her beautiful girl and lightly rubbed the soft skin of the baby's cheek. She looked back at Alex who was concentrating fully on the messy diaper in front of him. He looked so sweet as he made faces and and softly spoke to their son. Alex turned to notice Jo watching him, "What?"

Jo smiled, "Nothing." She looked back at their daughter, "What about Rebecca?"

"For what?"

"Your daughter's name silly. In honor of our first official date." At Alex's blank stare Jo added, "I forgot the money for Becky's piano lesson..."

"How do you remember that?" Alex asked, squinting his eyes in confusion.

"Girls always remember that kinda stuff. So what do you think?"

"No way, I dated someone who's name was Rebecca."

"What about Jeff then?" Jo asked with a wry grin.

"What are you talking about?" Alex said with a slight frown.

"Well if we can't give her a name of someone you've dated that kinda limits us to guy names," she popped off with a cheeky grin.

"Har, Har. I liked your idea of naming them after people who mean something to us." Jo started to speak, but Alex cut her off, "Don't even think of suggesting junior again."

"I wasn't...But you know, for the record, I'm not saying we would actually call him Junior..."

"Jooooo...," Alex started in a warning tone.

"Fine, let's come up with her name first then."

"Okay...What's Mrs. Schmitt's first name?"

"Everlina," Jo said as she started to laugh. "You should see your face!"

"Lena would be okay," Alex said with a look of fear still prominent on his face.

Jo continued to laugh quietly, "It's okay Alex, we can pick someone else. What about Dr. Bailey?"

"We can't do that, Mer and Sheppard already used that name, it would be too confusing."

Jo looked at their daughter thoughtfully as Alex slowly sat down on the bed next to her still holding their son. "She doesn't really look like a Miranda," Jo said with a touch of sadness in her voice.

"You know people used to call her Mandy..."

Jo gasped slightly, "Amanda! It's perfect, doesn't she look like an Amanda?" She held up the baby slightly for Alex to see as if to prove her point.

"Not exactly where I was going with that, but I like it."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I really do."

"We'll just explain to her that her name was inspired by Dr. Bailey," Jo offered as her eyes sparkled with mischief. "No Amandas in your little black book?" she teased, softly bumping her shoulder into his.

"I don't think so, at least none I can remember. I can check real quick," Alex offered as he started to stand.

"Alex Karev, if you want to maintain the ability to father children, there better not be a book," Jo said in her best threatening voice, but she couldn't stop smiling long enough to look serious.

Alex grinned back, "Now what about this guy?"

Jo smiled as she looked at their son sound asleep in Alex's arms, "If you're still refusing to give him your name..."

"I am."

"Then you're gonna have to come up with a name," she looked at Alex and smiled slightly. "I don't have any other men in my life to name him after...What about Richard? You're always talking about how much he has helped you through the years."

Alex had looked down and was studying the tiny boy. He slowly shook his head then looked up to meet her gaze and held it, "What about Patrick after the great foster mother you had?"

Jo's eyes welled with tears, "Really?"

"Why not? It's a good name and I feel she is one of the main reasons that you are going to be an incredible mother."

Jo bit her bottom lip slightly to keep it from quivering, "Thank you." Alex slowly closed the gap between them to place a sweet kiss on her lips.

"Are you sure you're okay? The pain's not too bad?" Alex asked with slight worry.

"It's the best kind of pain," she said looking down at their daughter happily. At Alex's pointed stare, she smiled and rubbed his thigh, "I'm fine, just a little sore. Did you get the spare bedroom ready for Mrs. Schmitt and smooth things over with Dr. Yang?"

Alex laughed slightly, "Yeah, the room's all ready and I have my schedule set so I can pick her up from the airport Thursday. And Yang's fine, she just said she won't be back to visit until we get home and you get some rest. What exactly did you say to her?"

"I just let her know that if she referred to my children as the 'spawn of Evil Spawn' again, I would rip her liver out through her nose and fry it up with some Chianti." At Alex's look of disbelief Jo smirked, "What? I'm a mama bear now, Yang doesn't scare me."

Alex chuckled, "I hate I missed that, you really freaked her out."

Jo laughed with him, "I'm sure it won't be the last time. So are you ready to argue about middle names now or do you want to wait?"

Alex leaned over to kiss her cheek and whispered in her ear, "You can pick the names, I'm rather fond of my liver."

Jo slapped at his thigh and laughed merrily with him, "Jerk."
