A/N: Let me just apologize for all the medical inaccuracies in this chapter. Now, without further ado, I present to you the last chapter of He Knew:


Six Years Later

"C'mon, we're gonna be late!" Alex shouted, putting on his coat. "Thanks again for watching Drew," he said. Meredith just smiled at him.

"You know I love him," Meredith exclaimed, bouncing the toddler up and down on her waist. "He is just so cute! Must've gotten his mommy's looks," she teased.

"Ha, ha," Alex deadpanned. "Jo! Hurry up! We were supposed to be there five minutes ago!"

"Just give me one more minute!" Jo called back from upstairs.

Alex sighed heavily. "Let me go and see what's holding her up. I'll be right back," he told Meredith. He walked up the staircase to see Jo on the phone. "Oh, you've got to be kidding me!"

Jo placed the phone to her chest. "I'm talking to Aubrey right now. She wants to know how everything's going." Alex gave her a weird look. "Ms. Schmidt, Alex. Aubrey Schmidt."

"Oh, right," he said. It had become clear to him after knowing Jo for so long that when she was talking to Ms. Schmidt, it was best not to interrupt her. "Just try to finish up soon. We've got to go."

Jo mouthed "thank you" and continued jabbering into the telephone.


"I hate doctors' offices," Jo complained, dropping a magazine on the table in front of her. She looked around warily, as if trying to crack some kind of secret code. Alex stared at her.

"You're kidding, right?" he asked. "Then why did you choose to become a doctor if you hate doctors?" He looked at Jo expectantly as he waited for her to respond.

"I just like doing this kind of stuff myself," Jo explained. "I trust me way more than I trust some random guy that our coworker suggested."

"Yeah, well you're not an OB/GYN, are you, Wilson?" Alex retaliated. Jo gave him a curt look. "Karev. Shit, it's been almost four years, and I still can't get that right." He sighed. "It's no fun calling you by my own last name!"

"Maybe you should've thought about that before you proposed," she teased, picking up another magazine and looking at it disdainfully. "Okay, why do I care that Channing Tatum's wife is pregnant again? Don't people have better things to do with their lives?" she questioned, pointing to the picture of the "expecting couple" as the cover said.

Alex shrugged. He was about to answer when a voice cut him off. "Josephine Karev?" a nurse called, surveying the waiting area. Alex snorted, and Jo shot him a look.

"I'd prefer if you called me Jo," she explained, getting up with Alex to follow the nurse to the examination room. The nurse continued to walk briskly to her set destination. As they reached the end of the hallway, she stopped decidedly and ushered Alex and Jo inside a room.

"Okay, Josephine, Dr. Carson will be with you in a few minutes," she said, not bothering to look up from her clipboard. "But first I have a couple of questions." Jo began to say something, but the nurse continued. "Date of birth?"

"February 19, 1987."

"Height?"

"Five-foot six."

"Current weight?"

"One hundred thirty pounds."

"Weight before conception?"

"Uh, one hundred twenty?"

"Date of conception?"

Jo blushed. "December 25th."

The nurse looked up from her clipboard. "On Christmas?"

Jo avoided eye contact. "Are there any other questions?"

"How many weeks along are you?"

"Sixteen."

"Do you have a history of complications in pregnancy?"

"Nope."

The nurse scribbled something on her paper, hung her clipboard on the hook on the inside of the door, and walked out of the room, just in time for Dr. Carson to walk in. He smiled at them. "Well, I should probably congratulate you two. Is this your first?"

"We actually have another one at home. Our friend's watching him," Jo explained. It wasn't often that anyone asked about their family, so she enjoyed it when people did. To be honest, she just loved talking (more like boasting) about them. "His name's Drew."

Dr. Carson smiled and turned on Alex. "Well, it's always nice when I get to meet my patients' husbands!" he exclaimed, holding his hand out for Alex to shake. He shook Dr. Carson's hand cautiously. "What's your name?"

"Alex," he answered, breaking off the handshake as quickly as possibly. "It's safe to assume that you're Dr. Carson?" Dr. Carson nodded his confirmation.

Dr. Carson looked at Jo. "So you must be…" Dr. Carson began, looking down at his clipboard. "Josephine?" Alex snickered once more.

"Jo," she corrected him, shaking his hand firmly. "It's nice to meet you."

"The pleasure's all mine," he assured her, kissing her hand lightly. Alex looked around awkwardly. "So! I have to ask: why are you switching doctors four months into your pregnancy?"

Jo shrugged. "The doctor I went to retired, and my friend recommended you."

"May I ask who this friend of yours is?" he asked.

"Um, April Avery-Kepner," she replied. "She said that you are really qualified."

Dr. Carson laughed. "I'd like to think so after ten years of owning my own practice!" he exclaimed. "How's her daughter?"

"She's doing really well," Jo responded. "She just turned one last week."

"Okay, shouldn't we probably get going on all the exam stuff?" Alex prompted, clearly tired of all the small talk. Jo shot him a look.

"You're probably right, Alex," Dr. Carson admitted. "Jo, could you please take a seat and, um, get yourself ready to be examined?" Jo nodded and began to undress herself from the waist down. To Alex's relief, Dr. Carson turned away out of courtesy.

"Alright. I'm done!" she announced, pulling the sheet over herself. Dr. Carson turned around and sat on the stool in front of Jo. He smeared the cold gel on Jo's stomach, and she shivered. Dr. Carson took his machine and put it on her. "How's everything looking?"

"Your baby looks perfectly healthy," he announced. "The heartbeat is steady; everything seems to be developing on time." He moved the machine around a bit. "Um, do you want to know the sex?"

Alex and Jo seemed to perk up at this statement. "Yes," they said eagerly and looked at Dr. Carson hopefully. Dr. Carson laughed.

"You two are too much," he said, shaking his head slightly. "Alright. Now, are you sure you want to know?" Alex and Jo looked at him incredulously. He laughed again. "I'm just pulling your leg. Anyway, I'd like to be the first the congratulate you on your baby girl."

Jo's face split into a grin, as well as Alex's. "Oh, my God!" Alex exclaimed. Jo laughed happily. "A girl! Oh, my God, we're gonna have a daughter!" Jo still seemed to be at a loss for words. "We should name her Aubrey," he said suddenly.

"After Ms. Schmidt?" Jo said, seeming to come to her senses. Her eyes watered as Alex nodded. "How – how did you know that I always wanted to – " But she cut herself off. Alex knew. He always knew. "Thank you," she managed. "I love you so much."

"I love you, too, Princess."
