Chapters: One of Five

Fandom: Grey’s Anatomy

Ship: Andrew DeLuca x Amber Karev (Alex Karev’s Sister)

AN: I know you guys love the pregnancy storyline so I decided to explore it more. I want to show when Amber and Andrew decided to get pregnant and why. The next three chapters will be posted daily so watch out for updates in my blog. Like and reblog below.

Summary: Andrew and Amber babysit their niece, Luna, while Alex and Jo leave for a weeklong vacation.

Words: 1243

January 10th, 2022

“Are you sure you baby proofed the sharp corners?” Amber asks anxiously from the guest bedroom that she is cleaning for their niece, Luna Karev.

Her brother, Alex and his wife Jo have spent the past three months planning for a weeklong vacation to St. Kitts for just the two of them. Their usual babysitter canceled at the last minute because of a family emergency in California. The couple almost called off the trip until Amber offered for her and Andrew to babysit Luna instead at their house. When they said yes Amber went straight into get ready mode so the house can accommodate their 20-month-old niece.

Andrew comes in carrying the large animal plushies and setting them on the bed, “Yes, I did, and I put everything else that would scratch Luna in our closet. I got Jazz to swear to be good to Luna and if he isn’t, I will have his nuts clipped.”

Jazz is their 3-legged pitbull/labrador mix that Andrew rescued in 2020 when he and Amber broke up. Since then, he has been acknowledged as their little fur baby.

Amber raises an eyebrow, “Didn’t we just get him fixed?”

“It doesn’t mean we can’t make our point across.” Andrew grabs the leash for Jazz, “And I got enough toys for Luna to open our own daycare.”

Amber nods in approval, “Good because it’s her first time staying with us for this long and we want her to feel comfortable. Toys are the number one bribes for one-year olds. I filled the fridge and pantry will all of her favorites.” Amber observes the queen size bed she set up, “Should we have sprung for a crib? Or maybe a bed for her size? I feel like it’s too high. What if she gets up in the middle of the night and falls off the bed? Alex will never forgive me.”

Andrew rubs her arms to calm her, “If you’re worried about her falling off the bed we can co sleep with her in our room instead. I think I will notice if she tries to climb over her uncle’s sleeping body. We’ll be fine, she’ll be fine it’s not like your brother is leaving her with the Manson’s.”

“I know and I know it was my idea to babysit her but that was before the realization hit me. I am gonna be responsible for another human being. I am gonna be the one whose care determines if this child lives or not. I don’t know how parents do this it is terrifying!”

“Then it’s a good thing you have someone by your side to share the anxiety with so he can calm you down.” Andrew caresses her cheek that calms her slightly, “We’re both doctors, I grew up with 16 cousins who were all babies, so I know my way around them. You’re a fantastic aunt not to mention training to be a peds surgeon so toddlers already like you and your niece loves you. It’s a week we can take care of her and not irreparably damage her for one week.”

Amber nods, “Okay it’s one week, what can happen?”

The doorbell rings and the couple freeze as the time has come for them to babysit. Amber inhales and exhales deeply before moving to the door with her husband behind her. She opens the door to find Alex and Jo on the other side of the door wearing comfortable clothes for the flight tonight. They see Luna in Alex’s arms looking comfortable. The couples greet each other warmly before allowing them to enter the house.

“Okay so the plugs are baby proofed so are the sharp corners of the furniture and the latches are installed in the kitchen cabinets. You can see our handiwork if you want.” Amber allows them to walk around the various baby toys laid out on the floor, “Yeah we wanted her to feel comfortable here since she’s gonna be away from you guys for a week, so we got her a few toys.”

Alex chuckles carrying Luna and walking around the toys carefully, “A few? It looks like a toy store threw up in here. I really hope you guys kept the receipts.”

“I did.” Andrew says, “With the inflation and everything, my wife and I are on a different budget.”

Jo groans, “This makes me wish I got into politics.” Jo hands the baby bag to Amber, “Okay everything you need to know about taking care of her is inside that bag. There’s binders, her favorite formula, and organic baby wipes. If you run out just go to Target and they carry them. Don’t give her normal wipes they give her a rash, plant-based wipes please.”

“Organic baby wipes only got it.” Amber slings the bag over her shoulder and smiles at Luna who is looking peaceful in Alex’s arms, “Hi little moon, are you excited to hang out with your Auntie Amber and Uncle Andrew? I know I am!”

Alex chuckles before handing the baby to Andrew who carefully handles her, “Okay she’s been really trying but she’s not fully potty trained so be prepared. We left you potty training instructions and bedtime instructions. If you need anything give us a call.”

Jo looks at the couple with worried eyes, “Seriously you guys don’t be afraid to call, I picked an airline with Wi-Fi for this specific reason.”

Andrew grins at Luna in his arms, “It won’t be necessary Luna bear is a number one fan of her Uncle Andrew.” Luna smiles wide at Andrew proving his point, “And whatever I can’t handle I know Amber can.”

Amber nods, “Yeah, we got this don’t worry guys she is in good hands I promise you have nothing to worry about I swear. Now go enjoy your vacation while Luna enjoys hers at Casa DeLuca.”

Jo and Alex look slightly relaxed, and Jo turns to Alex for support, “They got this, our daughter loves them and they love our daughter. And their both surgeons so they have more first aid training than most of the sitters we interviewed. We deserve a little break and she deserves to have fun with her extended family. Everything will be fine Jo.”

Jo inhales and exhales before turning to the sitters, “Call us the second something goes wrong I don’t care what time it is or what I am doing I will answer, got it?”

“Got it.” Andrew and Amber say in unison.

Jo grins, “Okay let’s go, bye Luna bear mommy and daddy are gonna miss you so much.” Jo kisses Luna in Andrew’s arms as does Alex and they begin to head out the door, “Take good care of your Uncle Andrew and Aunt Amber.”

“Bye little moon we miss you already.” Alex says as he practically pushes his wife out the door. Andrew waves Luna’s hand so she can wave goodbye to her parents who are out the door before closing it.

Amber turns to Andrew who is holding Luna in his arms. She smiles at the toddler who grins at her aunt causing Andrew to grin and bounce the baby in his arms.

“All right it’s just you and me and Amber now little dude, high five.” Andrew holds up his hand the Luna lightly touches, “Now blow it up.” Andrew mimics an explosion with his hand causing Amber to smile as they begin their weeklong journey with their niece.

FanFiction

Spideypool (Peter Parker/Wade Wilson)

Paradise (spread out with a butter knife) -- slowburn soulmates au where friendship is magic (or the one where Peter and Wade are literal soulmates but don't realize it for literal years because they're literal idiots)

GwenMJ (Gwen Stacy/Michelle Jones)

Parkner (Peter Parker/Harley Keener)

*deep breath*

Freak Out 'Verse -- It starts with a kidnapping, evolves through a summer romance, and ends with a portal to another dimension, team dynamics, and... shit tits? am i reading this right? ...really? Yeah folks it says shit tits what the fuck

Peaches 'Verse -- It starts with Abbie and Harley. It starts with leaving. It ends with Abbie and Harley and Peter and May. It ends with a room and choosing to stay.

The Distance Between (You and Me) -- Harley struggles to get a grip on his PTSD while his kidnappers are still out there, the board of directors at Stark Industries are looking for any excuse to deny him his future right to inherit the company, and his "bodyguard" drives him up the fucking wall.

For the First Time, Eye to Eye -- Peter and Harley have a lot of shit to work through and Harley's family reunion (while they pretend to be boyfriends of five years rather than workplace rivals), is not the time or place. And yet...

It's just his luck that he wakes up handcuffed with Officer Benjamin Parker sitting at his bed side...

Not Spider-Man 4: Bring it on Home (working title) - ??? (LONG) - Gen fic (no romantic parkner), Harley-centric, trans ftm!Harley, canon compliant, post NWH - Harley built his own Iron Man armor and he uses it Robin Hood style to keep Rose Hill from blinking out on the map. Abbie thought she was helping by sneaking off to meet with reporter Betty Brandt and her photographer, Peter Parker, to shed some light on the dire situation in small towns like Rose Hill post-blip and the extremes people like her brother go to to keep people fed and healthy. But getting kidnapped is rarely considered helpful.

Spider-Man 4: Bring it on Home - ??? - Peter/Michelle - Sequel to Not SM4: BioH - Michelle POV (maybe with some Peter POV too--i'll decide when I actually get to writing it hah) -- Inspired by the events of Not SM4, Peter sets out to Boston get his friends back. Meanwhile, Michelle is trying to solve the mystery of why she and Ned have gaping holes in their memories. Ned has it worse than she does and has the therapy and medical bills to prove it, which is all the more reason for her to get to the bottom of this before his episodes get any worse. She's positive she could have solved it by now if not for the universe throwing constant distractions in her face--like the cute guy that recently started frequenting the shop where she works. And what the hell is Spider-Man doing outside of New York. One mystery at a time, Em. You'll figure it out. You always do.

We Were Gods (we were kids) - 100k~ - parkner childhood friends to estranged almost lovers to superheroes fighting on opposite sides to reluctant allies to lovers (this is the OG OG Blue like don't forget about me, back to its roots)

Dark Skin Directory

I did one of these for my sideblog BlackFemmeCharacterDependency (BFCD) and... While it’ll take longer on this end to do because there are more prominent figures here than on that one, I thought it would be good to also have one for my main...

EDIT: Okay, so the one that I did for BFCD does not work, so I am posting this one to see if it works, and if not, they’ll both be WIPS until I have the time to repair them

For the purposes of this list and on this page, whenever I say “dark skinned,” I mean a traditional brown crayon or darker. I grew up around Black people, so the words “dark skinned” do not mean the same thing to me as it do to nonblacks.

Ship: Alex and Jo

AN: I decided to shift my focus to a power couple that deserved so much more. I decided to show Alex and Jo throughout pivotal moments in Season 16 and 17 that I believe would fit them.

Summary: Alex and Jo go over adoption agencies online in the loft until people come over to celebrate their nuptials, cutting the moment short. The gang figures out their plans and react with joy.

Words: 1642

November 1st, 2019

“How about this one?”

Jo asks Alex who is busy making coffee while Jo is at the table going over adoption agencies in Seattle. The couple are still clad in their pajamas, having just woken up with Jo already on the track to finding a baby to adopt. Alex is giddy at her eagerness and feels his dream coming closer by the minute.

Alex walks over and looks over Jo’s shoulder at the screen showing an adoption agency website, “What makes this one special?”

“They take in safe haven babies instead of letting them go through the system. I mean its fate, right? For us to find a baby like me who was left by their mother outside a fire station?”

“Yeah, that would be great if we found a baby who was in your situation.” Alex closes his eyes at how that sounded, “Not great for the baby, I meant great for us to give that abandoned baby a chance we never got.”

“I know honey.” Jo says with a grin, “We still have to find a house and make it picture perfect for inspection so we’re just going over our options before we apply but this definitely looks promising.”

“If it has your approval then it’s got mine.” Alex pulls out his phone, “I should look into real estate agents while you do agencies, divide and conquer.”

A knock on the door stops him from typing up in the search engine. He groans but puts his phone away and walks to the door opening it to find a group of five people on the other side. Meredith Grey, Jackson Avery, Link, Andrew DeLuca and Amber Karev are on the other side holding items in their hands. Jo sees the gang and closes her laptop, not quite feeling ready to tell them about their plans to have a baby.

“Hey, what are all of your guys doing here?” Alex asks causing Meredith to raise an eyebrow.

“You told me you got married last night; did you really not expect a celebration? Or gifts?”

“Yeah dummy.” Amber adds passing her brother with a waffle maker box in hand, “It was about time you two knuckleheads sign the damn papers like you should have from the beginning.”

Andrew shakes his head amused at his live-in girlfriend, “That is Amber speak for congratulations from both of us. Happy marriage.”

The whole gang enter the loft and greet Jo who smiles at them, “Hey guys you really didn’t have to do this, the last wedding was good enough for us.”

“Well Meredith insisted we come over and congratulate you in person.” Link explains putting a box of whiskey glasses set on the table, “I think she’s antsy for a party.”

“I just got out of prison.” Meredith reminds them all, “And my medical license might be taken away from me and everyone at Grey Sloan hates me so I need have happy moments otherwise I will start throwing furniture. Coffee?” She asks sharply.

Alex quickly heads to the coffee pot, “Yep.”

Jackson hands Jo a bottle of fine whiskey, “Congratulations you guys.”

Jo grins, “Thank you, you didn’t bring Vic?” Jo sees Amber pursing her lips at the mention of Vic clearly still detesting the firefighter Jackson is casually seeing.

Jackson catches Amber’s disgusted look, “I was planning on coming tonight to bring you the gift, but Amber insisted I ditch my breakfast date with Vic. More like demanded even though I’m her boss.”

“Oh boo hoo.” Amber says dismissively, “Your good friends got legally married last night, celebrating that takes precedence over being sad rebounds for firefighters.”

Jackson groans at that and asks Jo half seriously, “Please remind me why I keep her around?”

Jo chuckles and pulls Amber in for a side hug, “Oh come on, you and I know underneath that crusty exterior there’s a heart. Besides it’s not the first time she disliked someone who’s seeing her favorite men in the world.”

Alex chuckles nostalgically, “Yeah that is very true. One time I caught her putting a cockroach down my dates back and she ran away screaming. I swear I wanted to give her an atomic wedgie so bad.”

Amber grins at that, “Well the high school tramp was calling mom a nutty loon and she talked down to me and told me to make myself useful and get her a water. And most of your other girlfriends treated me just like that, a mini waitress working minimum wage. Same goes for Aaron, you two like to pick girls whose IQ is as high as their bra sizes.”

Meredith chuckles, “So I guess this attitude towards Vic is because you see her as not being good enough for Jackson? Nobody can be good enough for your brothers?”

Amber scoffs and acts tough, “Your crazy if you think I’m that invested in these idiot’s love lives. I just hate awful people and they have a preference for them.” Jo glares at that, “Except for you, you are the exception.”

Jo chuckles and pulls her sister-in-law in for a side hug, “Well I’m glad I got your approval.”

“Please do me a favor though.” Jackson asks Amber with a pleading face, “Don’t scare Vic away with a cockroach or a snake or whatever disgusting creature feels drawn to your evil nature.”

“Are you gonna make me some coffee?” Amber asks causing Jackson to roll his eyes but head towards the coffee maker to Amber’s satisfaction, “I’ll do my best then.”

Jo chuckles and pulls away, “We feel bad if we knew you were coming, we would have made a spread or something.”

“Since when do you cook?” Meredith teases before proposing, “We’ll just go to a pancake house and celebrate with lots of carbs and syrup.”

“And bacon.” Link adds with a smile, “You can’t have a celebration breakfast without bacon.”

Meredith laughs, “And in that spirit I’ll find us a breakfast place nearby that serves all of that.” Meredith opens the laptop to Alex and Jo’s distress.

“Wait Mer don’t-” Alex’s attempts are stopped as the screen pops up showing the adoption agency website that Jo left it on.

Meredith looks at the website in silent shock with the rest of the gang looking at her confused. Alex and Jo look both embarrassed and relieved at the cat being out of the bag. Jo sighs and stands next to Alex wrapping her arm around his back as they face Jackson, Link, DeLuca and Amber who look confused by Meredith’s frozen face. Jo and Alex look at each other silently communicating that it’s okay to tell people.

“We have an announcement to make.” Alex starts.

Jo smiles, “We’re gonna have a baby.”

The gang have different reactions of joy with Link asking ‘what?’ with a big smile, Jackson’s eyes shot up in shock, Amber’s mouth gapes open before laughing in joy with her boyfriend Andrew next to her smiling saying congratulations.

“Eventually.” Jo elaborates with a smile over their joy, “We’re looking at adoption agencies which is what Meredith is seeing at the laptop that caught her off guard.”

Meredith closes the laptop and goes to the happy couple with a smile, “Congratulations! Your gonna be parents!” She hugs Alex first who smiles at the affection as well as Jo who gets a hug as well before Meredith pulls back, “And if you ever need help with the adoption process, I am the person to turn to.”

“Thank you we really appreciate it.” Jo tells her good friend.

“And seriously.” Meredith starts with a grin, “Zola is the best thing that happened to me and Derek, I knew from the moment I saw her that she was ours and you’ll know it with your baby.”

Alex grins, “I hope so and you know if it wasn’t for me that little girl wouldn’t have even come here and you wouldn’t have met her so really, I’m the reason you started your family.”

“Humble as always.” Meredith quips, “But thank you for that.”

Amber shrieks at the news and immediately tackles her brother in a bear hug that takes him by surprise, “Wow kid I think this is the most affection you’ve ever shown me.” Alex tells his sister in a strained voice over how tight she’s squeezing him.

Jo giggles and at the sight, “We take it your happy.”

Amber pulls back still smiling, “Of course I’m happy I’m finally gonna be an Auntie, Auntie Amber. What took you two so long? I have been dying to have a niece or nephew to spoil.”

Alex chuckles, “We’ll things have happened, and life got in the way of us taking the next big step.”

Jo holds his hand, “But then we realized that life is always gonna be unpredictable so we might as well have a little more love and joy to get through it.”

“Amen.” Link states, “And if you guys have a baby before me, I can just watch you two and figure how to not screw up my kid.”

Jackson chuckles, “What he means is congratulations and we hope you guys start a family soon. And if you ever need a reference, I am always up for it.”

“Or you can pick me and DeLuca and Link instead.” Meredith and Jackson look at Amber with a raised eyebrow over excluding them, “Sorry guys but out of all of us you two have a record as dirty as a swamp rat in a sewer.”

Jackson clicks his tongue, “Ouch.”

“She is right.” Meredith says, “She’s mean but she’s right. Okay shall we get a breakfast spread to celebrate you guys getting legally married and starting to have a baby?” The gang all agree and head out for a breakfast party to celebrate this new chapter in Alex and Jo’s life.

Character Playlists Masterpost

So I have a thing whenever I get into a new fandom about finding songs that match the characters. I have...a few different current ones, as might be rather evident, so I'm going to make a list of songs I associate with the characters! If I've made an edit already associated with that song I'll link it to the song title. And this is going to get YouTube playlists made specifically for each one (Right now they're all jumbled in one big playlist called 'Write Things Heather', yes I am passive aggressive to myself in playlist naming) that I'll link to the character name!

note: @malewifebillcage I blame you entirely for how many times I listen to a song and go "oh no it's Bill and Rita"
