Throwback to my last pregnancy with @drevilspxwn ❤️

“What I wouldn’t give for leggings, a sweater and a tub of ice cream right now.” She sighed and took another sip of her drink. Rosie chuckled softly at her mom’s words. “Honestly, it was more of a rhetorical question. I never thought you’d actually say yes - but here we are.”

“You only have a couple more hours Rosie.” Jo smiled at the young girl before she kissed her head. “What’s got you so down anyway beautiful?” She asked her daughter before she took a sip of her own wine glass, looking intently at the young girl.

[dr-ria-m]

Rosie looked down bed replying. “Just a tough week at college.” She admitted softy, taking another sip of her drink.

Jo frowned. “You know you can talk to me about anything, right sweetheart?”

there was the loudest crash, something that logan would later describe as the sound of the initial big bang, as a pitcher dispenser filled with some sort of fruity drink went crashing to the floor. and in a panic, he ducked behind the nearest person to his right. “shhh! act natural. i’m not here, i didn’t do anything, you haven’t seen me all night!”

[traumaprincessjo-blog]

Jo heard the crash but felt her son go behind her then the squeak of his voice. She chuckled. “What did you do?” She turned around to look at him. He really was his father’s son - getting into mischief. “I mean, how did you manage to knock the pitcher down?” She asked him, frowning.

Jo blushed at her husband. Whenever Alex even looked at her she would get butterflies - even after all these years. She knew he was the one. She paused at the wine table, grabbing a glass before she offered one to her husband. “You don’t look so bad yourself.” She grinned, before she nodded. “That’s very doubtful, but sure. I really hope the cupcakes are good..” she mused before walking with Alex towards the banquet table.

“i can dress up occasionally,” he responded with a smirk. alex hated suits, but it was a formal event and he didn’t want to get yelled at for not wearing ‘appropriate attire’. “i know it’s doubtful, but it’s free food, so it can’t be too horrible.” yes, it could, but he was trying to convince himself otherwise. “the cupcakes are the best part.” 

[traumaprincessjo-blog]

“You sure dressed up at our wedding.” She chuckled at him. “I already promised Rosie pizza on the way home and cinnamon sticks so I’ll stick to the sweets.” She grinned before letting his hand go to grab a chocolate cupcake. She put one of her fingers on the icing then she called to Alex. “Alex.” She smirked, evilly before she smeared the icing on his nose, laughing. “I love you.” She grinned before licking off her finger.

[dr-ria-m]

“Really?” Rosie laughed. “Thanks mom, this can stay between us.” She promised before picking up a glass of white wine and taking a sip. “Don’t look so shocked, we both know this isn’t the first time I’ve drank.”

[traumaprincessjo-blog]

“I only came cause it’s once a year, and I’m required to by work standards. I would rather be watching a movie with sweat pants and a t-shirt.” She shrugged. “It better. I’ll get in trouble with your father if he finds out.” She winked at Rosie before she took a sip of her own wine. “I know. I’m just surprised because you actually asked.”

[dr-ria-m]

“I can’t believe I actually have to be here. Like, I know the stories about it are legendary and everything, but I have a cold and I look like shit and all I want to do is go home and have the ultimate pity party.”

[traumaprincessjo-blog]

“Just stay for a couple hours Rosie. Then you can go home, okay darling?” Jo smiled at her firstborn. “Is that too much to ask?”

[dr-ria-m]

“Okay.” She sighed. “Can we at least get pizza on our way home? The last time I had food here I got food poisoning.”

[traumaprincessjo-blog]

“Yes. Pizza sounds great. We can even get those cinnamon sticks you like?” She suggested, hoping it would cheer her daughter up.

“It’s actually busier than it was at the last gala.” Jo mused as she took a sip out of her wine glass - realizing it was almost empty. She wandered to the wine table to grab another glass. “Everyone does look good though.” 

[mackenziejoms-deactivated201809]

“it is a lot busier.” alex agreed with his wife, walking over to the wine table with her. “they might look good, but you look great,” he told her, offering a smile. “you hungry? we can go check out the food - maybe it won’t all be crap.” 

[traumaprincessjo-blog]

Jo blushed at her husband. Whenever Alex even looked at her she would get butterflies - even after all these years. She knew he was the one. She paused at the wine table, grabbing a glass before she offered one to her husband. “You don’t look so bad yourself.” She grinned, before she nodded. “That’s very doubtful, but sure.

[dr-ria-m]

“there are a lot of people.” she nodded in agreement. “everyone looks amazing, but i can’t say that I’m exactly thrilled to be here.” It was no secret that crowds and fancy dresses really weren’t her thing. “but you know what would make this evening more tolerable? alcohol.”

[traumaprincessjo-blog]

“We have that in common baby girl.” She smiled at Rosie. She looked to Rosie, a shocked look coming to rest on her face. “Are you actually asking if you can drink?” She chuckled. “Go ahead but don’t let your father see.”

Arizona grinned at the woman before her before nodding her head, “yeah, I can be your replacement Alex until he gets here,” she agreed before laughing. “You do too, I like your dress.” she complimented softly with a smile before taking a sip of her own drink. “Are you having a decent time?”

Jo grinned at Arizona, looking at the blonde. “Where’s Callie?” She asked as she nodded her head. “Thank you. I’m not really a dressy person so that makes my confidence skyrocket.” She really wasn’t. She would take sneakers and jeans over a dress any day. “It’s so much fun, plus it’s great for the kids. Are you having a good time?”

Izzie wasn’t sure this was the best idea she’s had in the last month… in the last year, even. A part of her wanted to fly back out through the door before it was too late, but there was another part of her that wanted to stay. A part of her that had honestly and genuinely missed not only this place, not only the city but the people she got to know here. The people she hadn’t seen for years. For some of them – even decades. Taking a deep breath, with a half-finished glass of wine in her hand, Izzie walked towards the banquet table, scanning it through. “You know,” she spoke when she felt a figure coming close from behind her, “it’s been over twenty years, and I still don’t know if I trust half of the food on this table.”

[traumaprincessjo-blog]

Jo smiled as she wandered around the Gala, looking around at everyone. Wandering over to the buffet table, she grabbed one of the cupcakes before looking to the blonde woman. “Twenty years? You must’ve been an intern with Alex then.” Although Alex had told Jo about Izzie, she had never seen a picture of the blonde. “And yeah, that’s why I stick --” She gestured to the cupcake in her hand “to the chocolate cupcakes.” She smiled at the blonde. 

[drrcbbiins]

“Y’know – now that I’m thinking about it, the last gala I went to created such a downward spiral for everyone involved. This one’s already a better time, no closet drinking so far,” Arizona hummed softly as she took a sip of her wine. “Though, if someone asks me one more time what a pretty lady like myself is doing here alone, I may have to throw hands. The hottest of us sometimes just have their spouses have to work.” Not that she was complaining. 

[traumaprincessjo-blog]

Jo chuckled, coming to stand beside Arizona. “You're not alone.  You're with me.” She smiled at Arizona. “If that’s cool? Alex isn’t here yet and you're like the only one without their spouse here as well.” She shrugged before she took a sip of wine, before eyeing Arizona. “You look beautiful!”

[traumaprincessjo-blog]

“It’s actually busier than it was at the last gala.” Jo mused as she took a sip out of her wine glass - realizing it was almost empty. She wandered to the wine table to grab another glass. “Everyone does look good though.”

Gala 2017

Ditching || Rosie and Jo || Closed RP

She should not be doing this. She was an adult. She shouldn’t condone ditching class - or work but she missed her Rosie. She hadn’t had any mother/daughter time with just Rosie in months and she needed this. 

Everything at the hospital had quieted down and she sort of used a sick day to get into her car and drive to Rosie’s college campus and just sat in the car after she parked. 

She pulled out her Iphone, pulling up Rosie’s contact info and shot her a quick text.

Jo: I’m outside. Grab your stuff and let’s go. 

Jo: Oh, and don’t tell your father. I’m supposed to be at home sick. 

She sent the text, before pocketing her phone and just waited for her Rosie to come out.
