AMELIAS POV
"Jo you're stealing all the blanket," Link complained.
"Shut up," I chuckled.
"We're trying to sleep," Jo laughed. Having Link and Jo in my bed was like having two toddlers. And I was in the middle.
"She's stealing the blanket!" Link laughed.
"I'm going to make you sleep on the floor," I laughed.
"Good idea," Jo said. Link kissed my cheek and Jo fake gagged.
"Ew please don't have sex next to me," Jo said. I grabbed my pillow and whacked her with it.
"Were not allowed to have sex at Amelia's house anymore because Derek caught us once," Link said.
"Oh my god shut up," I said and hit him with my pillow too.
"Ew he caught you that's so awkward," Jo laughed, "I'd have to bleach my eyes and then rip them out if I saw that."
"We weren't actually doing it," I laughed.
"I'd still need the bleach," Jo said. Jo's phone rang and she looked at it and it was Alex.
"Do I answer?" Jo said.
"Let me answer," Link said.
"No!" Jo and I said.
"Let me answer," I said and Jo nodded.
"Hello?" I said as I sat up.
"Amelia?" Alex said, "where's Jo?"
"She's asleep," I said.
"Is she okay?" Alex asked.
"She's upset," I said.
"She should be, but, but I can explain," Alex said.
"She doesn't want to talk to you," I said.
"I love her," Alex said.
"You should have thought of that before," I said.
"Izzie has my kid," Alex said. When I tell you my mouth dropped.
"Jo's right here," I said and handed her the phone.
"Amelia! What the hell," Jo said.
"Answer," I said. Jo talked to him for a few minutes. When she hung up and she looked at me and her mouth dropped.
"Can someone fill me in?" Link said.
"Alex is a dad," Jo and I said at the same time.
"What?" Link said.
"He said that Izzie got pregnant at the end of 9th grade and that's why she moved away. Now the baby is 2 and a half and she moved back and she told Alex," Jo said.
"Why didn't he just tell you that?" Link said.
"He said he was embarrassed but he wants to be there for his kid," Jo said, "oh my god he has a kid."
"That's crazy," I said. She started hysterically laughing and after a moment Link and I did too.
"He's a dad that's insane!" Jo laughed, "that's like you two having a kid!"
"Oh my god," I laughed.
"What we'd make a cute kid," Link joked.
"I'm sure it would be adorable but not right now," I laughed.
"Ugh that poor kid," Jo said.
"Maybe he'll be a good dad," Link said. Jo and I shot him a glance and he chuckled.
"Maybe he won't," Link chuckled.
"For the sake of the child I hope he's a good dad to he or her," Jo said.
"Agreed," I said.
"Ok Goodnight," Jo said.
"Good night," I said.
"Night," Link said. Jo rolled over and I snuggled into Link.

"Do you think she's asleep?" Link asked. I looked over Jo's shoulder and she was passed out.
"Yeah," I said. I laid my head on his chest as we both looked at the ceiling.
"Are you working tomorrow?" Link asked.
"No, I got Derek to change the schedule," I chuckled, "told Jo she can stay however long she wants."
"That's good," Link said.
"I feel really bad," I said.
"Me too," Link said.
"She's so crushed," I said, "and the kid just makes it worse."
"I know," Link said.
"What if it were me," I said.
"What?" He said.
"What if I got pregnant," I said, "would you run and then come back?"
"I wouldn't run," he said.
"Promise?" I said.
"I promise," he said, "I wouldn't run. We'd figure it out together."
"I love you," I said.
"I love you too," he said.
DEREKS POV
"We went from one teenager to three," Meredith joked.
"I know," I laughed.
"I hope Jo's okay," Mer said.
"Yeah me too, but she has good friends, I heard them laughing before. I hope she'll be okay," I said. Meredith snuggled into me as I turned the TV off.
"Amelias changed," I said, "but it's good."
"Oh my god yes," Meredith said, "remember the first week she lived with us she was so unbelievably miserable and hard to get along with."
"Oh and I remember you wanted to kill me," I laughed.
"She turned it around," Meredith said.
"She sure did," I said.
