oh i believe in yesterday

Alex sings to the babies in the NICU and thinks nobody knows when in reality, everyone knows.  

PAST

He’s not really sure he picked it up from because Arizona can’t sing for shit and neither could Addison, but Alex started singing to the babies almost as soon as he joined the vagina squad. He didn’t do it often so not a lot of people knew about it at first, but when Alex finally sets his heart on peds, it becomes something he does a lot more frequently. So much, that every kid he sings to gets a different song because they're special and there’s something different they each need to hear. 

He’s especially fond of the babies that their mom is in the hospital due to health issues or babies that don’t have anyone looking out for them. Part of it is because one of the very few memories that he has as a child we’re those of his mom singing to him. She didn’t have the best voice, but every word was sung with so much love and sometimes singing to her was the only way he’d be able to calm her down. So when he heard a crying baby in the NICU, he would pull up a chair and sing a song to the little one struggling to survive. He’d like to think that they know he’s there for them. 

That practice didn’t end when he finished his residency and became a fellow. If anything, it increased now that he didn’t have to split his time between other specialties and got to spend his days around kids all day. 

The first time Jo heard it is after the teen mom abandon’s her baby. They had reached a silent understanding earlier but she was still a little annoyed with how casually he treated the whole situation, as if he had seen it a hundred times before—which Jo was sure he had. But she couldn’t shake how indifferent he sounded to the baby’s newfound loneliness. Deciding that she couldn’t ignore it any longer, Jo makes her way over to the NICU to keep the baby some company overnight only to find that Alex is already by his bedside singing him a song. 

Alex is singing “Yesterday” by the Beatles to the little boy and Jo’s heart just about melts. Suddenly all of the leftover bitterness in her heart dissipates and she finds herself seeing him in a whole new light. 

Later in the future, Jo reveals that she first started falling in love with him that day. When Alex asks in surprise how she knew he did that, she just laughs because literally everyone knows he sings to the babies. He asks why she never said anything and she says, “because we all find it so sweet and we knew if we said something, you’d stop.”

“Who’s we?”

“The better question is who isn't 'we.'"

——————

PRESENT

Jo avoids the NICU and peds ward pretty much at all costs after Alex leaves. It’s too much for her. It full of the memories of major moments in their relationship. It’s where they became friends. It’s where they fell in love. It’s where they’d spend hours together. It’s when they had their first kiss, etc. It used to be her favorite place in the hospital but now it’s just full of pain. When Alex left it lost it’s magic and it became what it was: a room full of kids that are sick or dying. 

When Luna is born, Jo goes to the NICU solely out of love for Val. She wants Val to be able to know her daughter and hopes that seeing Luna through the screen would motivate her to get better quicker. When Val dies, Jo continues going to the NICU because she feels responsible for this baby somehow. 

One night, she pulls up a chair text to Luna’s incubator and sighs at how quiet everything is around her. Due to covid, not as many people were allowed up there as before and right now, it’s just her and Luna. Something about the silence doesn’t feel right and she can’t quite put her finger on it until Hayes pops in to say goodbye for the night. She realizes what’s missing. Alex. 

If Alex were here, he would’ve already sang Luna about a dozen songs. Jo would struggle having to drag him out of the NICU every night to go home and get some rest since he’d want to dote on her and give her all the love she was missing out on. Hayes is a great peds surgeon but he wasn’t Alex. He didn’t sing to sick babies in his free time. 

Jo looks back down at Luna and feels her heart flutter. Well, if Alex wasn’t here to sing a sick baby to sleep, she could do it. So Jo starts singing to Luna and for the first time, she feels like a mom. And despite all the pain she feels over alex leaving her, jo finds herself amazed at the things he taught her. Because even in his absence, he still keeps changing her life.

AN: So I finished this months ago and was like ‘oh I'll save it for Halloween’ and I got so into the Jolex Halloween fic that I forgot to post this! Anyway better late than never I hope you all enjoy because I've always said that this is how this scene should have been! 

…………………………………………………………………

Jo looked through Alex’s books on the shelf behind his desk. She hadn’t gotten the chance to see her husband’s new office yet. It was very much like the one at Grey-Slone, but smaller and dirtier. He had a few wrestling magazines, some good management books, and Ped’s medical journals. She ran her fingers along the spines as she read the titles.

“Let's get out of here,” Alex said, coming into the room and letting the folder drop onto his desk. “Today was a nightmare.”

“Hey,” Jo said, reaching up and holding his face as he looked at her. “You are amazing. You are turning a house of horrors into a legit hospital, and I am sorry if those investors can't see that.”

“Well, don't be,” Alex said, raising his eyebrows and giving her a slight smile. “I'm getting a new research facility.”

“They gave you the funding?”

“Yeah, they said they were impressed with my ability to handle chaos.”

“They don't even know the half of it,” Jo said as she wrapped her arms around his neck. “They should visit your childhood.”

“Hey, you know what?” Ale said, as he pulled back from another kiss.

“Yeah?” 

“We should do something to celebrate,” Alex said, not telling her his plans just yet.

“Great. I am absolutely dressed for that,” Jo said, holding out the skirt of her dress before she looked up at him, seeing that familiar glint of trouble in his eyes. “What?”

“What time does the courthouse close?” Alex said with a smile as Jo tilted her head.

He held out his hand and Jo let him pull her away.

…………………………………………………………………

They were standing in the courthouse together. Jo can hardly believe that they were doing this, but she was so giddy. She still loved standing there in her white dress, holding his hands and loving every word he said to her. She was so wrapped up in this moment. It was the perfect wedding and she couldn't even believe the courthouse was open this late much less on Halloween. Although she was possibly elated more so about the fact that she got Alex to actually wear the vampire teeth. She knew he did it only for her. 

It's not their wedding on the ferry boat at sunset. She didn't have the perfect white dress and they didn't have their friends and family, but it was an intimate moment that they would have forever. 

Finally, it was her turn to say her vows. They had the traditional vows as she repeated after the judge. She's been trying to think of the right thing to say to make her vows a little unique for him. The second the idea popped up in her head, she knew she had to do it. It would also surprise him and possibly scare him a little bit, but hopefully in a good way.

“For better or worse.” 

“For better or worse.” Jo repeated after him.

“For richer or poorer.”

“For richer… or pregnant,” Jo said in a single breath as she watched Alex take in her words. 

For a second he just stood there, gobsmacked. His eyes were wide and his lips parted. She wasn’t sure if he actually heard her. Although, judging by the look on his face he did. 

“What?” Alex asked, his voice muffled by the vampire teeth.

“I'm pregnant,” Jo said, confirming it to him with a nervous little smile. 

“Are you serious,” Alex asked, still surprised and Jo suddenly got nervous about telling him like this. 

“Yes,” Jo said, biting her lip as she nodded. “Why do you think I dressed up and have been following you around at work all day? I’ve been trying to tell you all day, but it’s been one catastrophe after another at the hospital. I didn't want to stress you out at work so I just figured I'd wait to tell you at home, but then you wanted to get legally married….”

Before Jo could say anything more, Alex cut her off with a kiss. He pressed his lips into hers and she could feel the excitement on his lips. He smiled against her lips and she pulled back to see him with a broad smile.

“You’re really pregnant?” Alex asked, sure of himself, but more so asking her to say it again.

“Yes, I’m pregnant,” Jo said with a matching smile that started to hurt her cheeks.

He looked down at her stomach and let go of one of her hands to reach down to hold her belly, rubbing his thumb in a little circle. There's nothing there quite yet, just the tiniest curve of her belly where her uterus was a little more prominent. She wasn’t sure if he could even feel it yet. 

“We're gonna have a baby,” Alex said, his voice giddy with his large smile.

“Yeah we're going to have a baby,” Jo said sighing in contentment as he leaned in and kissed her again. 

The officiant let them have their moment, but after their second kiss, he cleared his throat. They reluctantly parted, but Alex still smiled wide and happy and he kept his hand on her belly. Jo felt like she was floating on air. She was so happy at this moment and she can barely contain it. 

Jo looked over at him and smiled as she repeated her vows. “For richer or poor. “

Alex leaned in and she did too as their noses touch and they smile at each other. He gave her a little smile and held her belly through the rest of the preceding until they were finally officially and legally married. Alex leaned in and kissed her with lips full of passion. Jo melted into him with a little moan. As she let herself be consumed by his lips. She wrapped her arms around him and put one hand on his cheek, holding him against her for as long as possible. They only break apart when they're desperate for air. 

After they got out of the court, having filed all the correct documents and making sure everything was in order, Alex kissed her again as he led her out to the car, holding her hand. He pulled her against him as he kissed her against the car. He fumbled with the door handle until they fell into the backseat. Jo sat up with a laugh as he undid the ties on her dress and forced it open. 

Instead of his hands going to more intimate places, he smiled as he leaned down and stared at her belly. Jo easily smiled as she put her hand on his cheek, his eyes glance up at her before he looked back down at their baby. He put one hand over her bump, gently gracing her skin before he held the little bump. 

“Hey you,” Alex said as he leaned down and kissed her bump. “I'm your Daddy, it's nice to meet you.”

Jo reached up to tangle her hand in his hair as he leaned down to kiss her bump. “You're finally gonna be a dad.”

“And you're gonna be a mom,” Alex said with a smile as he came up and kissed her lips. “And don't worry because you're going to be an amazing mom, Jo.”

Jo smiled and sighed, she knew he was right and she was finally ready. She was going to be a mom and he was going to be a dad and they were going to have the family they always wanted.

The Name

Age Rating: 12+

Chapters: One of One

Fandom: Grey’s Anatomy

AN: Hey guys here’s another chapter that takes place immediately after the Birth chapters let me know what you think and I will take One Shot Requests if you have any concerning Andrew DeLuca and Amber Karev or Jolex.

Summary: Amber and Andrew try to decide what to name their baby with Alex and Jo weighing their suggestions. Later Amber talks to Carina.

Words: 2573

Jo Karev walks down the hall pushing Luna Karev in her stroller eager to meet her niece. She would’ve come by sooner, but she was busy assisting Dr. Bailey with a large ovarian cyst on a teenage girl who fainted during sex ed. Now it’s almost midnight and all she wants to do is to enjoy peaceful family time she never had growing up. She sanitizes her hands before entering Amber’s room to find her sitting up in bed opening a box of cookies with DeLuca sitting next to her watching Alex who is sitting in a chair holding the baby sticking his tongue out at her like the fun uncle he already is.

Jo smiles at the sight and speaks in a low voice to not alarm the baby, “Hi someone wants to meet her cousin.” She walks closer until she’s next to Alex who grins at her and introduces the cousins.

“Hey little moon this is your cousin TBD DeLuca.” Jo narrows her eyes at him posing an unspoken question, “Yeah, your auntie Amber and uncle Andrew are still deciding on a name so for now she’s TBD. Look TBD this is your cousin Luna.” Luna looks at the baby inquisitively with a blank face.

Jo gets closer to the baby and sees that instead of a pastel hat they normally give for the babies, she’s now wearing a black one causing her to chuckle, “I see she’s inherited her mom’s sense of style.”

Amber grins, “Yeah what can I say she’s a badass already.”

Jo is still gazing at awe of the baby, “Oh my god she is so beautiful you guys. Dark hair or blonde?”

“Dark I guess his genes beat me on that.”

“But she’s got her mom’s blue eyes. So basically, she’s got all of our best physical features in one package.” Andrew points out causing Alex to chuckle.

“Oh, dude you are so screwed.”

Andrew chuckles in agreement, “I’m already looking into getting a gun locker and automatics to fill it so I can scare the boys away when they come over to pick her up.” Amber chuckles at that, “Yeah laugh now but trust me I know now that your brothers were overprotective for a reason. And they’re probably the reason you didn’t have a teen pregnancy or STD.”

“Or I have sound judgement that came from watching my hormone addled brothers bring in a girl week after week forcing me into the role of a sane person who didn’t think with her genitals.”

“It sounds like when I was growing up with my sister.” Andrew quips, “Except they didn’t date your school friends or exes.”

“And let’s be thankful for that and hope she has better judgement than her aunt and uncle when she reaches teen hood.”

Jo carefully takes the baby from Alex and holds her with a grin, “Hopefully by then you guys will pick a name for her.”

Amber groans at that and explains, “We wanted to wait to meet her but now that we met her, we’re stumped. I mean I test simple names like Emma or Amy but she doesn’t feel like an Emma or Amy. There should be an app for this kind of thing.”

Alex kneels down to Luna in the stroller handing her a toy, “Well hey I might have a suggestion if you’re interested.”

“Please so we don’t look like bad parents and leave the hospital with nothing on the certificate.”

“Well, you know Alex is a pretty good name.” Amber raises an eyebrow at that, “It’s gender neutral in case she doesn’t identify as female, it’s cool and it’s after her favorite uncle.”

Andrew grins shaking his head amused, “You really dug deep for that one, didn’t you?”

“It is just a suggestion.”

Amber looks at the baby for a moment before shaking her head, “No she’s not an Alex, what about you Jo?”

Jo coos at the baby before looking at the couple, “Why don’t you do it the Gilmore Girl’s way? Name her Amber after yourself, guys do it all the time.”

Amber shakes her head immediately, “People kept saying to me Amber is a designated stripper name and I’m not gonna subject my kid to the same torture. So, if you all are thinking Angel, Brittany or Bambi toss it out. What about you Luna? Do you have any ideas?” Luna teethes on the toy absentminded not paying attention causing them to chuckle, “I didn’t think so.”

“Well, how about a character from one of our favorite movies?” Andrew suggests, “I liked Terminator growing up, how about Sarah DeLuca?”

Jo looks at the baby and tries it out, “Sarah DeLuca…no.”

Andrew looks at Amber who’s busy eating her graham crackers, “You love Legally Blonde how does Elle sound?”

“No.”

“Reese?”

“Ugh! No!” Andrew looks at her confused by her disgust and she clarifies, “Reese’s cups.”

“Reese’s pieces.” Jo adds.

“Reese’s puffs that girl will be picked on in the schoolyard.” Alex states.

“It’s just an idea that’s all.” Andrew looks at the baby in Jo’s arms, “We really should name her before we leave though.”

Jo chuckles and speaks to her niece in a baby voice, “Don’t worry TBD if your parents are still clueless by the end of the day Aunt Jo will sneak in and put her own name on the certificate.” Jo grins and puts the baby in Andrew’s arm causing him to grin at his daughter. Amber looks at the baby inquisitively before shaking her head.

“No she’s not a Jo.” Amber adjusts the black hat on her small downy head.

Andrew grins and nods, “No you’re not a Jo.” He cradles the baby who gets fussy and starts to cry.

“Oh no I think she’s hungry, come here baby.” Andrew hands the baby to Amber that immediately stops her crying as Amber holds her against her chest. Amber pulls her gown down one shoulder so she can nurse the baby shocking Alex.

Alex quickly stands up and looks away, “Whoa! Okay I um I should go come on Luna bear let’s leave your aunt to her um business.”

Amber chuckles at her brother’s reaction as the baby’s head covers her pregnancy swollen breast from his and Jo’s sight, “What are you 13? You’re a doctor and this is the natural order of things don’t shame me for giving my baby her nutrients.”

Alex coughs and looks down so he can avoid looking at her feeding the baby directly, “I don’t shame mothers for breastfeeding I just don’t feel like looking at my sister with her chest out even if there’s a baby attached to it.”

“He’s got a point babe.” Andrew says to Amber too distracted feeding the baby.

Amber rolls her eyes at the men, “Oh come on dude you used to give me baths.”

He still looks down, “Yeah when you were two.” He turns to Jo who’s stifling her laughter at the conversation, “Jo, are you good to stay so I can take Luna home?”

Jo grins at him trying to avoid eye contact with Amber, “Yes, I’ll carpool with Link and he can drop me off later. You two go and get some sleep I’ll see you in the morning.”

“Great thanks. Congratulations again tell the hopefully will be named soon baby uncle Alex sends his love.” He takes the stroller and exits the room with Luna in toll. Jo and Amber look at each other in amusement as TBD enjoys her breakfast straight from the breast with Andrew eating a graham cracker out of the box.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I woke up after I fell asleep to find the sun rising from the window. Andrew left to put the finishing touches on the nursery and I take advantage of a good night’s sleep predicting it’ll be the last one I get for a while now. I hear a baby gurgle and a female with an Italian accent singing low. I sit up and find Carina DeLuca sitting in a chair holding my daughter marveling at her new niece and singing something in Italian. She looks up and smiles at me.

“Buongiorno.” I grin at her as I rub my eyes, “I wanted to see my new niece before I left, where’s Andrea?”

“He’s putting the final touches in the nursery. We got a diaper table a week ago when we thought we had a few weeks before we had something to put on top of it. Now he’s assembling it and I am praying it doesn’t fall apart and we’re forced to change her in either the kitchen or bathroom counter.” Carina sings to the baby again, “That sounds nice.”

“I used to sing it to Andrea when he was little. I’m sorry I wasn’t here earlier I was busy at the station helping with inventory for the clinic and then…”

I see her smile dying down a bit as she looks at my daughter with longing eyes, “And what? Is everything okay?”

“No, I’m fine it’s just that I took a pregnancy test today.”

My eyes widen at that revelation and I tread carefully, “And it was…?”

“Negative.”

I tsk at that, “I’m sorry I know how much you and Maya want a baby but don’t worry there’s always next time. And until then you guys can be the cool, badass aunts who will watch her when Andrew and I need some alone time.”

Carina sighs in despair rocking the baby gently, “At the rate my marriage is going I’m not sure bringing an innocent baby into it is what I want anymore.” I look at her confused and she elaborates further, “Maya has mental health issues.”

“Ah.” I nod knowing full well what she is going through right now.

“And I have lived most of my life living with people with mental health issues and I am good at it. But being in a relationship with someone with mental health issues is something else it’s…no I am not bringing my marital problems on what should be a happy day.” Carina sniffles and looks down at the baby smiling, “I’ve had a bad day but now it’s a good day because even though I don’t have a baby and my wife isn’t here I have a niece I am going to love and spoil for the rest of her life. Isn’t that right bambina?” Carina coos at the sleeping baby.

I sit up further and look her in the eyes so I can help her with her dilemma, “You know it’s okay to be sad about your wife and happy about your niece at the same time. It’s wishful thinking for us to feel one thing our entire lives.”

“Please don’t let me bother you with my problems. It’s not something you should concern yourself with along with new motherhood.”

“I grew up with a schizophrenic mom, a brother who inherited the illness and a husband who lashed out at me when he inherited his father’s illness. I am literally the only person in this world who has insight into your specific problem.” Carina purses her lips at our similarities, “Look you and Maya whatever you’re going through you’ll get through it. I know how frustrating it is to deal with your partner’s problems while they ignore it and take it out on you. The mood swings, the verbal abuse, the questioning where your relationship stands, I have been through it with your brother. It was hell and there was a point where I hated him for doing to me what my mom and brother did to me. I’ve been where you are and the road ahead is not easy, it’s messy and ugly and you’ll feel like your going crazy along with Maya.”

Carina tears up at that and wipes a stray tear while holding my baby, “Is this you trying to make me feel better? Because it’s not working.”

“A messy road like that forced me and Andrew to fight for our relationship and it took a while and I had to tackle a lot of my issues my family put on me. But we came out on the other side stronger than ever. We wouldn’t have done that if the love we shared wasn’t worth it and if we didn’t do that then that little girl wouldn’t be here right now.” Carina grins with tears glistening in her eyes as she looks down at the beautiful baby girl, “Don’t give up, if the love you and Maya have is stronger than your problems then you two can survive this.”

Carina grins grateful to me, “When did you become an optimist?”

“It’s probably the hormones left over.” Carina laughs at that rocking the baby gently.

“Ah bambina you’re not even a day old and your already so popular.” I grin at the baby thinking how much luckier she was than me and thankful I’m giving a good and loving life to her, “I just wish mine and your papa’s mama was here to see you. Your nonna Lucia would have loved you so much and you’d be the most spoiled granddaughter in the world. I’m just grateful to have you in my life now and I’ll be your favorite zia and I’m not gonna tell your aunt Jo.” I chuckle at that and we sit there looking at the baby marveling at the new life. And it was at that moment I knew what to name her.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Andrew enters Amber’s patient room in his casual gray thermal shirt and jeans since it’s his day off. He finds Amber finishing breastfeeding the baby putting her hospital gown back over her shoulder and the baby looks satiated.

“Hey how are my girls doing?” He grins at them as he sits down next to Amber.

“We’re good she’s already nursing like a pro. Do you want to go to daddy? Let’s go to daddy.” Amber smiles as she carefully hands the baby to Andrew who smiles as he holds her causing the baby to make baby noises and looking up at Andrew with her blue-green eyes that she got from Amber which makes Andrew’s heart swell even more.

“Hi TBD.” Andrew happily greets her, “Oh god we gotta pick out a name otherwise she’s gonna hate us like we hated our parents.”

Amber grins, “I have a name actually, I wanted to run it by you and see what you think.”

“Okay lay it on me let’s see if it’s the one.”

“…Lucia.”

Andrew freezes as soon as he heard it and looks at Amber surprised, “That’s my mother’s name.”

Amber grins at him and explains, “When Carina came by, she kept saying how she wished your mother was here to see her and that’s when I knew what her name was.”

Andrew chuckles softly as a bittersweet ache squeezes his chest. He looks down at the sleeping baby and kisses the top of her small head, “It sounds perfect, Lucia DeLuca.”

Amber nods, “Yeah but maybe we should call her Lucy, doesn’t she look like a Lucy?”

Andrew grins, “She does she very much does.” He continues rocking the baby and turns to Amber with love in his eyes, “I love you; I love both of you thank you for giving me this.”

Amber smiles lovingly, “We love you too.” They then kiss and enjoy this blissful moment with their daughter, Lucy DeLuca.

okay so: opinions on buddie having a confession similar to the jolink one at the end of 19x20?????

(I know jolink have more of a romantic/sexual past than buddie do currently, but when I first watched that scene all I could think about was buddie, because of the fact that the kids were included as part of the speech but not the main focus, and the whole 'I'm so in love with you. How do you not see that?' bit and so many more reasons that have escaped my brain right now)

(Also full disclosure: I'm not a fan of jolink as a couple, and wish they'd stayed as friends, but I do love the buddie parallels/vibes they give me 😅😅)

((Sorry this was long!!! 💚💚))

(just to get it out of the way, I was fighting and kicking and screaming at them putting jolink together because they had such a great friendship and damnit media needs more friendships between men and women who are straight but not trying to get with each other)

I'm kinda obsessed with the idea of getting something like that now that you mentioned lol. I mean, there would have to be some adjustments, I feel like a lot of it works the way it does because they slept together and decided to say it was just casual, with the way they explicitly draw the line and said "no we are just friends" and I feel like that wouldn't work as long term as they played it with jolink when applied to buddie (not unless they want to make us suffer more for a few seasons but if buddie sleeps together then wakes up and go nah we should just be friends is never gonna happen again, I'll burn something down), but I am legit obsessed with the idea of Buck hiding behind Chris for a change and just snapping, listing things about loving Eddie and Eddie is just staring at him with his exasperated husband face and going "you idiot I love you too". If they kiss in the rain too I would spontaneously combust (with the lightning and the well and every bad thing that happened to Buck involving water and the way the moment they start getting along involves literal fire, the symbolism behind them getting something good in the rain would be everything to me really)

But since we're talking Jo, I rewatched the perfect storm the other day, that's why I ended up making the parallel between April and Buck, and I keep thinking about a situation like when jolex gets together. The whole they have a huge fight, Jo tells Alex to stay away from her, then she shows up hurt, Alex gets all protective, he's about to say it, but then the tree falls into Alex living room, and they ignore it until Jo says she doesn't deserve it, that she'll ruin it and Alex is all you asked yesterday you wanted to hear it I'm gonna say it but them he freezes, and she's all i don't hear anything, and they banter a little bit before Alex finally says he loves her and they kiss. I feel like if we get a proper build up with buddie where everyone is aware of where they are going and they keep fighting against it until something snaps but right before they actually do something the universe intervenes, and have them dance around the fact that they almost said it dealing with an emergency, all while the tension between them keeps getting higher, until they finally get a moment alone and they can talk and Buck is all we should just forget it, you're my best friend, I'll mess it up, depending on the nature of the emergency that stopped them you can even add a line of like "that was a sign, the universe was stopping us from making a mistake" that Eddie could counter with his level is skepticism "I don't believe the universe speaks to anyone and you wanted to hear me saying it so I'm saying it" and then freezing and having them banter back and forth until one of them says I love you and the other goes in for the kiss, could work. And it would be one hell of a scene.

So the conclusion here is that Jo has very buddiecoded love confession since Alex and Link get the best friend place before things evolve and either one of them makes for a killer getting together scenario for buddie.

Hi beautiful mutual! I'm sinking back into Grey's Anatomy addiction, so some asks for you: 1) What are your top three Grey's OTPs?! I think mine are Japril, Slexie, and Merder, but that could change at any moment since I love so many Grey's ships while also resenting what the writers did to them about 80% of the time! 2) I love both Jolex and Izex too and would love to hear why you prefer Izzex to Jolex overall! 3) Which Grey's characters are you most similar to? 4) Which Grey's character would you most want to marry?!

hiiiiii <333

my top three are slexie, japril and izzex and merder would be 4th lol I also love calzona so their my 5yh favorite lol

I just felt like izzex had more chemistry and they loved each other so much and he always had a special.place in his heart for her. he loved jo yes but he never loved jo like he did izzie imho, Izzie was the love of his life but jolex were amazing together and they loved each other so much and it wasn't till my last couple rewatches I started to like them because I loved izzie and izzex so much tbh lol

idk tbh maybe meredith, lexie and april??? I can't really explain why though lol maybe because their so determined and strong and never give up?? lol

ohhhhh it's a toss up between jackson and mark tbh lol

[bi-lullaby]

I just made the dire mistake of watching old Jolex moments on youtube and fell right back in love with them! I need to block out the circumstances of Alex's departure (btw, I don't believe for a second he would have ghosted her and secretly started a whole new life with freaking Izzie - the writers should have killed him off instead!) Anyway, just watching them brought back memories of how great Jo and Alex were as these two scrappy, snarky, tough, angry, blunt, cynical but funny and secretly sweet, loyal, courageous underdogs who totally got each other. What were a few of your favorite jolex scenes?!

Yeah, as far as I'm concerned, Alex died. It's better, and that's a tough pill to shallow, but he'd never ditch her and Mer and the kids and his life the way he did for the reasons he did. Kids do not need their biological parents to be together to be happy, specially not when one of their involvements was, canonically, snooching into a cup then giving up his rights to them at the embriological stage.

Ugh, sorry, you asked for wholesomeness but I'm quite bitter about this. Actual answer, in no particular order:

Their wedding moment in the shack where they find that old skeleton.

When Jo shows him the power of crying to get what she wants.

Their second wedding.

Everything about how he initially called her princess. I shipped them from there.

The "homecoming" scene.

Jo as a proud wifey when he makes chief.

Their honeymoon moment when she has the mini-livers idea. That whole scene is so cute and sweet and hilarious.

Why are they your favourite Grey's ships and characters?

Slexie - i am real gulity for loving a ship where the guy is a bit of dickhead/player but as soon as they find the person they love, they are the sweetest person ever. I think Slexie fell into this for me. Chyler and Eric had such amazing chemistry - even when they weren't a couple they were on fire.

Jolex - i felt they were a perfect match for one another - still are. They both have traumatic pasts and understand one another to a degree that no one else could. I hate how they ended

Merluca - the chemistry between these two is what really sold me. Meredith really needed someone that supported her and loved her 100 percent at that time and i think Andrew was able to provide that for her. He gave her another perspective on what love/relationships are meant to look like.

Calzona - they started out so great but ended so badly! Once again sold by chemistry. They had some great storylines together. Loved the Callie/Arizona/Mark storylines

Japril - honestly wasn't sold on them at the beginning but grew to love them. I am so happy they have found their way back to one another. The scene where Jackson is at Aprils bedside after the car accident and is sobbing is one of the most heartbreaking scenes in Greys history

Amelink - finally someone that was a match for Amelia. I am so annoyed they wrote this marriage storyline into their relationship as i didn't think it was needed. The way they came together after they found out about Scout was amazing.

Characters

Meredith - i mean she is the main character, you kind of have to like her. The amount of bullshit this woman has been through she has come out on top. She has shown strength and resilience like no one else.

Lexie - just a good soul. I loved her and merediths relationship. i loved her personality. she would have been such a kickass surgeon

Arizona - so much light with Arizona. She was so pure and loving.

Jo - she has been through so much and has always been so good. watching her from intern to badass surgeon is amazing.

Alex - i mean talk about the best character growth on the whole show (we ignore how he left the show). i

George - a pure soul who left the show to soon. i would have loved to see where he went. what kind of surgeon he became.

Cristina - i mean how could you not love Cristina. This woman is so intelligent and doesn't let anyone stand in her way and i love that about her. She has so many badass moments

closed starter for @scftglows​ || location: santa monica beach

the meeting with his label went exactly how alex expected: a complete disaster. the only good thing about its headquarters being located in santa monica, was that he could always run off to the beach when it all got too much: get some fresh air to clear his head. though his visits were usually over being too nervous before releasing something, this was the first time that he was heading here over having his heart broken by the people he never thought would cause such pain to him. a quick stop to his favorite juice shop: and alex soon found himself walking by the shore. getting lost into how good his mango pineapple smoothie was, and the peace that the waves crashing gave him: he ended up tripping over someone who was quietly sitting in the sand. “oh my God... i’m so sorry, i w-”, he couldn’t even finish his sentence before he completely froze, feeling his soul leave his body when noticing who was in front of him now. 

of all places?... it was as if he had manifested her over how much he had been thinking her lately (more than usual) over now being ‘again’ in a very public ‘relationship’. sharing to the world very similar moments he lived with her: but that was genuine, and this other thing felt so wrong. he suddenly began to wonder if josie had heard about it all by now, and that only made his heart sink further. “i... i had no idea you’d be here, i just, i was, i-”, he rambled, his voice trembling. this was the first time he directly addressed her ever since the night they parted ways, and he certainly wasn’t ready for such. let alone feeling at his worst after his pathetic meeting. and this was L.A after all... what if there were cameras around them? what would a ‘is alex park cheating on nadine luna with josie choi?, oh my God Jolex is back!’ type of scandal mean to his little facade?. would it fuck everything up?. he had to get out of here fast. “listen i... i d-didn’t wanna interrupt the moment you were having so i’ll just... yeah imma just... yeah. s-sorry”, he awkwardly motioned behind him, turning now in an attempt to flee the scene as he also fought back the tears threatening to form in his eyes as he began to walk the other way.

“So what are we watching tonight?” Alex asked as he walked into the living room holding Helena. 

He also carried a giant bag of Cheetos that they were both snacking on. While Jo was already on the couch with Luna in her arms, as she flipped through channels. With dinner and dishes done, it was time for a lazy evening after the work day. 

“Not that ridiculous crime drama that you like,” Jo insisted as she rolled her eyes.

“It's a good show,” Alex insisted as he sat down next to her and settled in wrapping one arm around her. 

“It's crazy with the twists and turns and it's way too graphic for the girls,” Jo argued back, as even Helena picked her head up off of his shoulder to get in on the argument.

“Luna’s already half asleep,” Alex said, looking down at Luna as she struggled to stay awake. “And Helena doesn't mind it, she thinks it funny.” 

“Luna cries whenever you put it on and there's plenty of research to back up my opinion against letting our toddler daughters watch a graphic drama. Can't we just watch the new episode of….”

“No,” Alex said, cutting her off. “I am not watching another one of your period dramas.”

“They're nice Alex,” Jo insisted as she smiled over at him. “This new one's got sword fights, you love sword fights!”

They continued to argue over TV shows and flip through the shows until Helena saw something she liked and pointed at the screen. “Bluey!”

“Did she just say Bluey?” Alex asked in astonishment as he looked over at Jo.

“I think so,” Jo said, smiling over at Helena. “Baby did you say Bluey.”

“Here I’ll flip back to it,” Alex said after Helena remained silent.

When he went back to the show Helena pointed at the screen and again said, “Bluey!”

“That’s right Helena, Bluey,” Jo praised her new word with a smile.

“Good job Princess,” Alex said, kissing her cheek.

They all settled in to watch the show and Luna fell asleep. Jo looked over at Alex, who laughed at the show, but frowned as she watched Helena fixate on the screen. 

“Alex, do you think it’s bad that one of her new words is the name of a TV show,” Jo asked as she bit her lip and reached out to rub Helena’s leg.

“She’s not an iPad kid, Jo,” Alex reassured her smirk. “She doesn’t watch a whole lot of TV, she probably just recognizes it from some of the Buley toys she has.”

“Yeah, you're right,” Jo said, letting her worries disappear for the moment as they went back to watching the show and enjoying their evening.

Alex & Jo being cute with each other (14x23)

[blancheharrington]

Gimme some great Jolex angst where Jo is pregnant and some crazy guy comes into the ER and holds everyone hostage and Jo tries to talk him down or the dude holds her hostage and Alex is helplessly watching from behind the automatically locked doors or something

ALEX AND JO IN EVERY EPISODE || Map of You (10x06)

I can’t figure it out -- if you’re seeing someone else or you think that you’ve knocked me up. So, I tried to trace it back to the root of the problem, and I think it’s your dad. 

Look, I told you --

Not to bring it up again, I know, and this is the last time because if I’m wrong --

You’re not wrong. You should be proud of yourself. I could have just let him pass through, but you were all, “Talk to him. You’ll wonder for the rest of your life”. Well, thanks. I didn’t know I could feel this crappy again after eighteen freakin’ years.
