Alex Karev

“Right, uh huh” she mumbles, kissing him softly.  “Tell that to your graying hair” she adds with a chuckle. .  “But seriously, I just haven’t been able to shake this feeling of, I don’t know, just not feeling right.  There was a time where I used to be supermom. I could do everything. Now it’s almost like asking the kids to fend for themselves. I feel like a bad mom.” 

“Hey!” Alex responded to the fact she said he had a certain hair colour as he didn’t wish to accept the fact he was getting old and it showed. “You are a bad mom, and you’ve always been,” he joked as he kissed her back. “You should just raid some meds and make yourself feel better”

Jo made her way to an open oncall room down the hall from the Peds wing.  She was feeling a little worse for ware, but nothing overly concerning.  Doctors get sick too after all.  All she needed was a little rest and she’d be good as new. 

Alex was already on the bed as he entered the room a few minutes before her, “hey, you might be old but I’m freaking young. I can go another 33 hours easy but somebody has to make sure your ass doesn’t get herself fired with your sickness record as of late,”

When did I  become so old? I can’t get through a twelve hour shift anymore without needing to find an oncall room part way through. 

“Old.. Or are you trying to relive your youth? You know what oncall rooms were used for back in the day”

“I’m pretty sure old is the word” she says with a small chuckle. “And not that I want to think about my interns that way but I’m pretty sure they’re still used for that now too.”

“If you leave food lying around I’m going to eat it”

Oliver laughed a little. “I guess…but then I rarely leave food around.” He chuckled.

“It’s because I raised you right. Eat the damn food in front of you, or somebody else will”

“Oh, I don’t know, is that really all you want?” she ask, smirking at him. 

“Well I suppose I could buy a brand new car too, I mean don’t you want that?”

“But if we buy everything we want we’d blow through the kids college funds, then how are we ever going to get them out of the house and working so we can retire?” 

“Oh, I don’t know, is that really all you want?” she ask, smirking at him.

“Good, because I’m starving!” she says, placing a kiss softly on his neck.  Your wife must be pretty great then.” 

“She’s alright.. She nags on occasion, but who doesn’t?”

“Rude” Jo says, fake pouting. “Just for that, I’m taking another bite.” “Nah, we should probably keep the kids.” 

“Keep the kids.. right.. right..”

“You’re just not a dedicated enough teacher, are you? You should go back and get a good look and teach them better.. Also I needed a coffee so there’s that.. was gonna send my intern”

“Good, because I’m starving!” she says, placing a kiss softly on his neck.  Your wife must be pretty great then.” 

“She’s alright.. She nags on occasion, but who doesn’t?”

“I walked in on two interns getting it on in the washroom today,” Amelia said, shaking her head. “I’ve gotta say.. if you’re going to do that, at least go into a stall, or a lockable supply closet. Right there in the open though? That would not be my first choice.” She paused. “I mean, I was not that stupid when I was an intern. I was never that stupid, period. Not even back in my tumor days when I had very little impulse control. Even if that kind of open space gives you a thrill, it’s not the best idea. Go to a forest or a store’s changing room.”

Alex waited for her to finish the story before he spoke, he was learning how to be a decent human being after all this time.. “Dude, Did you get a good look? I’m missing my intern. I don’t really know what they look like half naked or fully naked. Go back and get them”

“If you leave food lying around I’m going to eat it”

“Seems like a good way to get someone pissed at you.”

“Dude somebody is usually pissed at me, regardless if I’m to blame or not. I might as well get something out of it”
