Jack who knows the new intern Mel and the new med student Dennis are the twins he and a one night stand gave up for adoption separately

Jack who tries to keep his distance so he doesn't accidentally let anything slip about who his kids are to each other, or to him

Jack who watches fondly as his twins get to know each other, make each other laugh, look out for each other, and start to move in tandem during traumas

Jack who watches nervously as his kids begin to smile fondly at each other, brush each other's hands during surgeries and look away blushing, and stand a little too close together at the hub

Jack who heads home early one morning only to see Mel dropping off Dennis for his shift, then freeze on the spot when his son leans back into the car and kisses his daughter full on the mouth

Jack who watches in growing horror as his twins begin to leave and come in to work together every day, openly hold hands in the breakroom, and kiss each other hello and goodbye

Jack who has to swallow down his panic any time someone around the hospital gushes about what a cute couple his kids make and a betting pool starts about when they'll tie the knot

Jack who walks in on his daughter using an ultrasound on herself and has to excuse himself to the bathroom to throw up

Jack who watches in terror as his daughter's belly grows full with his son's child while everyone beams and coos and fusses over her

Jack who tries not to seem too interested in Mel's ultrasounds or check ups or, eventually, photos of his kids' new baby

Jack who tries to decline holding his granddaughter when his kids bring her in for a visit, only to have her thrust into his arms as one of his kids runs off to help with a trauma
