Baby karev was officially an hour old. Five pounds and two ounces. She was in the last test she had to do. She passed all of the other ones. She was a rockstar. Jo and Alex had counted her fingers and toes about a million times.

Jo looked at Alex "I miss her." She frowned. She wanted to be with her 24/7, even if it was just to watch her.

"It's been twenty minutes." He chuckled, kissing her hand. "What should we name her?" He asked, thinking of a bunch of different ideas, mainly all boys names.

"Romona?" She asked, reaching for her phone to look up some more. She scrolled through the names "Ooh! Everly."

Alex shook his head "It doesn't fit her properly." He peered over her shoulder, reading the names "Megan?"

After what felt like a few hours of discussing names, they finally chose one, just in time for her to come back.

As she was laid in her arms, Jo smirked "It fits her so perfectly." He nodded, agreeing. They both stayed silent, in awe of their child. "Hello, Hazel Irene." That sentence alone could make them both cry, and it did. Her chubby pink cheeks could melt even the coldest of hearts. Her chestnut hair, just like Jo's. They hadn't gotten the chance to see her eyes, since she was taken almost immediately.

Jo gasped "Alex, look! She's opening her eyes." She watched in anticipation. Blue. Crystal blue. "Oh, my god..." Her jaw fell open

"You're so beautiful..." Alex kissed the palms on her tiny hand "You're going to need a new outfit."

Arizona walked in, ready to actually meet the baby. "How are you doing?" She asked, walking closer. She awed, looking at the baby. "What's her name?"

Jo and Alex looked at each other, grinning. "Hazel Irene Karev." Alex said. He could never get tired of that name.
