One-Shot #3: Meeting the Babies

Time: After twins were born

Ivy smiles as she cradles Christopher. Alexus sits in the bassinet next to Ivys hospital bed. Hearing a knock on the door, Ivy looks up and sees her brother, "Hey, Derek. Come in, come in."

Derek quickly makes his way into the room, "Can I hold one?"

She nods, "Yeah, you can pick her up."

He cradles Alexus, "So, what's their names?"

"You are holding Alexus Charlotte Avery. And I'm holding Christopher Markus Avery," Ivy smiles at her brother.

"C-christopher? As in..." He trails off, tears streaming down his face.

"You and dad. Then Markus for the best brother I've ever had and the best mentor Jackson ever had," Ivy smiles.

Derek glares at her, "Careful of the brother thing."

Ivy shrugs, rocking Christopher, "Your my dad and brother. Mark was just my brother."

"Loophole."

"Love you too. Now, since you picked her up, you can change her diaper. Thanks big bro," Ivy smiles, kissing Christopher's cheek.

Time: After twins are born and out of the hospital

Ivy lays the blanket on the grass before sitting cross legged in front of the stone. She takes the twins out of the carriers, "Hey Markie. Sorry it's been a while, but being pregnant then giving birth to twins is a lot of work. Plus I'm planning a wedding. But, I should have been here more than I have. Jackson wishes her could come with, but he has a burn patient he's treating."

Alexus starts crying so Ivy starts to rock her, "Well, I guess we should do introductions. Mark, this is Alexus Charlotte. Named after Lexie. I'm sure you would appreciate that. Then there, sitting quietly in the stroller, is Christopher Markus. Named after my dad's and you."

Sighing, Ivy looks at the headstone, "I miss you, Mark. Sofia's doing really good. Callie and Arizona are taking care of her and I'm checking in on her. I've got our girl."

Time: After Aurora is born

Ivy sighs, laying her head back when she hears a knock on the door, "Hey, can I come in?"

"Of course, Amy, come on in. Meet your niece!" Ivy smiles as Amelia immediately picks Aurora up.

"Oh, you're so precious. What's your name? What's her name?" Amelia turns to Ivy.

"Aurora Reed Avery. Aurora because we know she'll be Jacksons little princess and Reed after my person. I lost her in the hospital shooting and this is how I'm honoring her," Ivy tears up.

Amelia chuckles, "Well, you're gonna have to have another one and name it after me. Derek got Christopher, Mark got Christopher."

Ivy rolls her eyes, "Nancy, Kathleen, and Liz didn't get anyone named after them."

She hits her sisters shoulder, "Yes but you love me."

"So you're naming a kid after me?"

"No."

"Then no kid for you. Sucks to suck," Ivy jokes.

Amelia hugs her, "Oh, well. I'm good with being an amazing aunt. I've gotten pretty good at it."

Ivy nods, "You have. Now, how's it feel to be married?"

"I almost didn't get married."

"What?!"

AN: this is super short, sorry, but I didn't know how to convey the emotions that they are all feeling.

Edit: apparently I have to many names in my head and can't remember Christopher's middle name. Whoops.

I may come back and rewrite this one and do it better.
