Andy and Robert got married within two months of the proposal. They had all of their friends from the station, Pruitt, Lucas and of course Maddie at the wedding.

It was one of the happiest days of their life. There wasn't a single moment they weren't smiling that day. Robert cried as Andy and Maddie walked down the aisle a little but it was happy tears so it doesn't count.

After the wedding the two of them took a honeymoon to Europe. Maddie was with Pruitt for two weeks while her parents had their fun and traveled through several countries: Italy, Germany, Austria and they wrapped up their vacation with three nights in Paris.

It was a little hard on Maddie but she talked to them and face timed them every day. Plus they showed her all the presents they had bought her so she was a little happier.

When they came back everything went back to normal just like it was before the wedding. Except that Andy and Robert spent much more time together at the station. Doing shared workouts, making dinner together or even just chilling together at Robert's office.

***

(15 months after the wedding)

Robert had just parked his car outside his and Andy's new house. They moved there just a little over three months earlier, they figured they would need more space.

It was 9AM, Maddie was already at school. Robert came home to his wife after a long shift.

He walked in and scanned all the first floor, not seeing her anywhere he took off his shoes and his jacket and put his bag in the floor.

"Andy?" He half yelled. "I'm here!" She called back.

He went up and went straight to their bedroom. Their bathroom door was open and when he didn't see her in bed he went over.

"Babe is everything oka-" he cut himself off mid sentence when he saw his nine months pregnant wife standing in a a puddle of water.

"Your water broke?" He asked, a smile crossing his face.

"No. I peed myself..."

"Oh" was all he said, even though he tried to hide it the disappointment was clear in his voice.

"I'm kidding! Yes my water broke five minutes ago." She laughed until a contraction hit her and she crumbled in pain. Robert quickly came behind her and rubbed her back. He knew it didn't relive the pain but it was comforting.

"So she's coming?" He asked for confirmation.

"She's coming" Andy repeated his words.

"Let's go to the hospital i'll clean that up later" he took her hand in his and he haloed her to change into clean clothes. Then, together they went to the car where all of the hospital bags for Andy and the baby already were.

They had a surprisingly quick drive to Grey Sloan, only about 10 minutes later they were at the ER. "Hi my name is Robert this is my wife Andy. She's a patient of Carina Deluca. So can you please page her 911?" Robert asked the first nurse he saw.

A couple minutes later Carina walked in and scanned the room to find the pair. "Hey guys!"

"I need an epidural right freaking now!" Andy yelled in pain. Squeezing Robert's hand. He was sure that by the time the baby is out he won't be able to feel his hand.

Andy was admitted and moved to a room up in maternity floor. A few hours past and Andy wasn't feeling the contractions as badly anymore with the epidural.

Robert called Pruitt to let him know Andy was in labor, then he called the team to let them know as well but like Andy requested, no one except of Robert was there. She wanted only him with her.
