She crosses her arms, letting out a sigh of annoyance. This girl has no idea what she's gotten herself into. "Let's make our escape!" If they stuck around here, the ghost would probably come back. "I'll explain what's going on later." Addison takes the woman by the hand, leading the way out of the old library. The atmosphere around them is tense and every sudden noise Addison hears has her on edge. This is going to be a long day, she can tell.

"We don't need the key we'll break in." Reaching into her hair, she pulls out a bobby pin. Carefully, she twists it about, reconfiguring it so they can use it as a lock pick. "I like to bring extra, for emergencies. Now step out of the way so I can get us inside."

Why I draw Spamton the way I do and in defense of the "Tumblr sexyman" Spamton G. Spamton. An ESSAY.

EDIT 2/3/24 - Fixed some grammatical errors, changed font colors to make them easier to read against a white background, and reframed some of my arguments, especially regarding the "Yaoi style" portion, as it came across as ignorant and spiteful.

I follow the #spamton tag here, and I hate to say it, but it's full of artists jabbing at other artists who so happen to draw Spamton handsome. I see comments like, "No, he's a middle-aged sleazeball who is grungy and dirty." Often, these depictions show him with graying hair, ratty clothes, and covered in filth and grime. While there is nothing inherently wrong about drawing him this way, I find it disingenuous that the same people who draw him this way criticize people who draw him more handsome and or clean-cut because this depiction is even less based on his canon appearance than someone simply drawing him more realistically proportioned and with a pleasing visage (the definition of what this is varies by artist, but they're all often reduced to just "tumblr sexyman.") I see similar comments by people who draw him in what they may describe as "disgusting" or a "dirty scammer."

If Toby intended for Spamton to look dirty and gross, he would have simply gone with a similar design route to this character as an NPC in Undertale.

Toby or other official arts never depict him with the following, even though I see it in fan art all the time:

Ball-jointed hands. Some artists draw them properly and make them look super cool. Simple lines aren't how they look in reality, but I get why people do that. Either way, it's not canon.

Dirty with tattered clothes. Spamton is only ever shown with a black blazer. It's debatable if he wears pants, but Toby has also drawn him with a collared shirt and tie.

Graying hair. Should be obvious. He's only ever seen with jet-black hair.

Overweight/Fat. While some fan depictions of this are cute, it's not canon. Spamton is always drawn thin but not necessarily in shape.

Buff. Same as the above. It looks really good in some fanart but is also not canon.

Tail. It can look really, really cute, but not canon for him or any of the Addisons.

Feathers. Only Swatch and the Swatchlings are depicted with feathers in Cyber World.

"40+ years old" - There is zero evidence of this in-game or in official merchandise or media. This assumption apparently comes from people assuming that his birthday would be the same as the first "spam email," which (at the time of this writing) was 46 years ago. This is a false equivalency since there is no indication that Spamton has any associations with our real-world history of spam emails. It should also be noted that this was not a true spam email. The only thing closest to Spamton in association with real spam email history may be his favorite year, 1997, in which spam marketing emails became frequent nuisances. However, actions to stop spam mail started in 1996, and it was by the 2000s that they became a serious concern because technology had since advanced. If he were truly born in 1978, he would only be 19 by 1997. While not impossible, it's not how most people see him in his Big Shot years of barely just entering adulthood. Also, as someone who has lived through most of the 90s, I can attest to a lot of this. Spam stuff existed, but news reports only heavily got into it by the 2000s.

100% Inorganic or Robot. While a cool idea, there is more evidence against this, like his ability to eat, sleep, and genuinely feel pain.

Boobs. I get most people who do this are doing it for fun, but it's not canon to his design, lol.

Tall. The most obvious one. Spamton is below average height, as made evident by his nearly 1:1 scale with Kris, a teenager.

Toddler-sized. Same as above. I won't lie that it can be drawn super cute, though. Haha!

With all that being said, why is it such a contention among his fans to depict him as handsome?

There is evidence to support that Spamton is at least, to some degree, good-looking but unconventionally attractive based on several sources. It should be noted that people often use his shop sprite as the best representation of his head, but this isn't accurate, either. In Undertale and Deltarune, because of its cartoonish sprites, it shouldn't surprise anyone that Spamton's are the most inaccurate and change frequently. Another user posted an entire comparison of all his sprites and how drastically inconsistent they are. I tried searching through my likes for this, but I can't find it. If anyone finds this, please link or reblog it to this post. Anyway, the intent of the post was to show artists that there are numerous different ways you can interpret Spamton's design with what's provided in the game, alone.

Stuff people often miss that is canon:

Lips. Believe it or not, this bastard's got kissable lips. Toby's recent art and his Neo attack are proof of this.

Eyes under the glasses. Seen in his sprite of going "BIG SHOT" the first time with Kris. It also hints at heterochromia because they contrast in color with yellow pupils under the pink and pink under the yellow.

NEO has no visible jaw hinge line. Only puppet Spamton does. Big Shot Spamton doesn't have one, either.

NEO's glasses' colors are reversed, and they are pince-nez style.

Androgynous sense of fashion. This is the least missed one, but it's worth mentioning. Spamton has no issues wearing pink, a color nowadays associated with women, and the NEO body has fabulous heels in addition to mostly being a magenta pink. The dress on the mannequin that greatly resembles him (and may hint at him being a white Addison before) shows a pretty dress that mirrors the one Mettaton wore in Undertale.

So then, WHY is he being depicted as handsome or unconventionally good-looking a BAD thing?

There really shouldn't be an issue with it at all. It's less offensive and technically more canon than many of the supposed depictions of him being a sleazebag who looks like he hasn't showered in a century and is hooked up on drugs or booze. You don't become a media darling without a charming personality. Mettaton only got successful in Undertale before he got his EX body because there was literally nothing else the people could watch. Spamton, on the other hand, was competing against many, so he had to stand out and look good even with the help of Mike (and possibly Tenna).

I often see people make this very reductive argument that it's a "yaoi style." This is by far one of the stupidest arguments I've ever seen. Drawing good-looking men is NOT equivalent to liking Yaoi. There are plenty of other genres of Asian-origin or Anime-styled media that feature pretty boys that have nothing to do with Boy's Love. Even Shounen anime has some bishies. Drawing bishounen-style male characters is a design choice and does not indicate someone's interest in Yaoi media. I swear, I have never seen this problem with Eastern fans. It's rude to lump people with similar art styles under something most people who make this claim don't even understand. I've seen people make upset comments about other people calling their style stuff like "Cal-Arts" even if they never went to Cal-Arts or like the media produced by them. It's the same principle. Stop lumping entire artists under one umbrella.

I draw him handsome because it's simply the way I see him. I love many other depictions of him, undoubtedly, and I even have a sticker set that depicts him with the graying hair, but it looks really good anyway. My point is, the fact that people who draw him dark and handsome shouldn't be scrutinized any more than people who draw him way more off base.

My personal contentions with the assumption he is a "dirty sleazebag old man."

I find this absolutely hilarious because this is a genuine stereotype and stock character of people similar to him. The douchebag salesman is a trope that's been around for a long time, but people don't seem to realize that this is a caricature and not representative of real salespeople.

Go to any @$%^ing department store or even an electronics one. Do you ever see anyone selling you stuff looking like they crawled out of the trash? Most are lower-class people who can't find any other job, meaning they are stuck with sales. It takes skill to be a good salesman, and I hate to brag, but I can probably sell you a #@$%ing soap bar and convince you that the extra $10 you're spending on it over a drugstore brand is better for your hands by deeply moisturizing them through herbal extracts and only "naturally" derived cleansing agents. Your hands are dry from the cold, drawing moisture out of them, so the investment would be worth it for the health of your skin during this harsh winter season. Why risk a drugstore brand that will only make your hands feel even rougher, flakier, and cracked? Stuff like this requires you to look someone in the eyes and observe who they are—their body language, way of carrying themselves, and the cadence of how they respond to your words. Does it always work? No. However, do you think anyone would $%^&ing buy ANY LEGAL PRODUCT if a salesperson looked like they were a shady crack dealer who was suspicious as %^&( to deal with? NO. It's a stereotype caricature for a REASON. It's meant to demean the reality of the salesperson who is forced to peddle a stupid product for a living. It's hard, and if anything, GET MAD at the people who are the ones making the crappy product! Yeah, some salesmen are bad at their jobs, but do you really believe that Cyber City's #1 RATED SALESMAN got there from being mediocre?! He may have gotten outside help for something that Toby never made clear, but he definitely does NOT lack the personality to make a great salesman. And believe it or not, there is plenty of evidence to prove he WASN'T bad at it! The other NPCs sell stuff that was once his goods but with his labels removed, and based on his statement of wanting to "make his own deals," this heavily implies he was NOT selling products he wanted to sell before he became a Big Shot. He has a strong sense of pride in the way he sees and presents himself, and I think this may be overlooked by people who make him look as ratty as possible.

I will also CLEARLY state this but this depiction overall does several of the following, which I KNOW many people will say is bad:

Ageism. Why do so many people, mostly Zoomers, assume that a man in his 40s is washed-up, gross, or even considered old? I've seen hotter men in their 40s than some young men in their early 20s.

Downplays his mental health struggles. One of the best things about Spamton is how he DOESN'T play into just the "sleazebag" stereotype. Once we go into his shop, we see that he is truly just a very broken man. His theme song is a FARCE to try and convince you that he's tougher than he really is.

Classist/Poor-Shaming. The assumption that a homeless person has to have no sense of cleanliness. Please, for the love of all that is good, meet actual homeless people. Not all of them are like this. Spamton clearly keeps himself rather clean for someone who dumpster dives. He is trying to stay true to himself, and his sense of self is one of pride. There is no dialogue or description to imply he smells or lacks proper hygiene.

Again, while there is nothing inherently wrong with drawing him this way, I just want people to be more aware of why they draw him this way. Think of it like a thought experiment to reflect on why you see him the way you do. How I draw Spamton comes from a place of deep empathy, love, and life experiences I've had in sales in addition to ALWAYS being customer-facing, meaning I know what works and what doesn't for over a DECADE. It's rather bizarre to me that people who claim to be big fans of him draw him in such a demeaning way that goes beyond the canon depiction and lowers him to absolute dirt, almost like beating this character with the ugly stick just because it's "funny." Is he a tragic character to you? Or is he simply a clown to laugh at for his failures and hardships? How we depict and see people is utterly fascinating because it reflects in real life, too.

You can take the exact same person and show them to different groups of people, and they will all see the same person differently. They don't have to be artists, but they tend to vary if you ask their opinions. For example, I think the actor Mads Mikkelsen is very attractive, but I know many who wouldn't understand why. A guy I've had a crush on for years is one of the hottest men ever to me, but a friend of mine called him "just a guy."

I fully understand that some people find the way I draw him stupid. It is what it is. I can't force you to like it.

I'm simply trying to point out my reasonings for why I draw him this way, and I would like others to think about their methods, too, and NOT to bash other people outright or go "ewww Yaoi tumblr sexyman" just because someone doesn't depict him with stereotypical traits or as "100% canon style" (which is mostly just copying the game's sprite style.)

[no-see-um-incorrect]

 Music head cannons for the Yuurivoice boys (i’ll be doing redacted next) the characters are gonna be getting playlist soon, so think of this as a prediction 

Auron 

This man has CORPSE on his playlist somewhere. If you’re talking about what the characters do outside of the audios together, my suspicion is that Alphonse probably showed him. Given his whole aesthetic, E-girls are ruining my life. Is probably the song he likes the most.

CODE MISTAKA. Is probably a close second.

My guess is he listens to a lot of like loud, hard rock music. He also probably has the whole reputation album by Taylor Swift on full blast while he’s cleaning his penthouse. Whenever I think of Auron I think of monster by skillet as his theme song 

Seth 

We already know he listens to Noah Kahan

But I raise you this 

Ed Sheeran. Specifically the songs.

The A Team & I don’t care

He has two playlists on Spotify  there’s one that’s just his normal playlist, and then a playlist titled

🚬Mama💋

(probably not with emojis but you get the idea)

Charlie

My pizza rat Boi~

No, I do not know why….but I have this thought in my head  of Charlie going through the neighborhood on his skateboard delivering pizzas singing ”milkshake by kelis” I don’t know why, but once I thought about it, it hasn’t left my head.

Just a lot of ass shake songs you know so he can shake what he doesn’t have(I said what I said)

Milkshake by kelis

Toxic by Britney Spears

Bottoms up by trey Songz 

 like his playlist is a roller coaster of 90s and early 2000s ass shake songs and songs that would make you cry for two hours 

Casper listens to his playlist for like 20 minutes and comes out like “Charlie, sweetheart love of my life……WHAT THE FUCK”

Alphonse 

This man’s hot shit And his music reflects that.

Candy shop by 50 Cent (that one’s obvious)

Stupid by Ashnikko

Girls/Girls/Boys by panic at the disco 

This is hot people music and Alphonse KNOWS he’s a hot person

Of course, any character with dead parents comes fully equipped with the using Music instead of therapy add on so amongst the hot people songs we’ve got

 supermarket flowers by Ed Sheeran 

Dog days are over by Florence + the machine 

Makes Me Sick by Addison Grace

His “sad boy hours” playlist borderline concerns, boo  and will make Seth cry if he listens to it.

Finn

I had to keep it together while thinking about the music of Finn. On one hand, I think it would be a lot of Positivity and loving yourself, music on the other hand….. this man was in emotionally, abusive relationship, 

Strawberry Blond by Mitski 

(this next one is a maybe)

Diet Culture by Brye

Soldier poet King by the oh hellos

But then we get into Sadboy territory  but also borderline Yan-Finn

He loves me (he loves me not) by Baby Bugs

TV by Billie Eilish 

Mr. potato head by Melanie Martinez 

(maybe) agoraphobic by CORPSE

A few other Melanie Martinez songs 

Lucian 

Buckle up 

Family line by Conan Gray

In my room by ICP

FACK by Eminem (hear me out)

Take me to Church by Hozier 

Mary on a Cross by Ghost 

He’s a demon, dirty minded, and the youngest son of the devil himself

The weirdest playlist of all time, and I am

here for it 

That is all for now. Have a great night everybody

howdy laika! for that ask game, spamton with 17, 22, 23, 24?

LONG POST INCOMING PLEASE READY YOURSELF

17. What's a ship for this character you don't hate but it's not your favorite that you're fine with?

See this is a tricky question bc I wouldn't say I truly LIKE any spamton ships really; they all don't work for me for one reason or another. But I'm fine with seeing some* of them regardless because I do view a majority of them as having been a part of his history? Like him and swatch for example. I do not enjoy that ship or actively take part in it but do I think there was something going on there during spamtons big shot years??? Yeah. Do I have a problem with anyone that does enjoy it? No. Kind of a non-answer but it's the best I've got

* = "Some" excluding any addison ships (bc I personally view them as siblings) and also ones that aren't morally gross, obviously

22. If you're a fic reader, what's something you like in fics when it comes to ths character? Something you don't like?

OH BOY AM I A FIC READER. For the past month or so as my hyperfixation on spam has ramped up in severity again I've been trying to read every spamton centric fic that's ever been written and wow has it been a journey. So as for what I like!! The easiest answer to this is probably just the general statement of "when people write him how he is in canon." It's surprisingly rare to see him written in such a manner but is always a nice surprise when he is. Not only do I say this in relation to his character as a whole, but his speech patterns too! Which- admittedly- are extremely difficult to get the hang of! So I understand if people aren't super well versed in it and can't write him accurately in that manner. But it's my favorite thing ever when people do.

As for the second part of this question, I think the most glaring thing I hate when it comes to fics about him is just how often he's infantilized. It's SHOCKING how often it happens. Sure sure, he can be silly no doubt about it, but he's a grown man in his 40s and has experienced so much awful shit. Can we knock it off with treating him like he's a newborn or is stupid?? In the same breadth is when people make him excessively kind or sweet right off the bat... like is he not kind of an asshole??? I think its perfectly fine to embrace that fact; him being morally gray adds SO much to his character! Dare I say a lot of people who enjoy his character wouldn't have been intrigued by him without it, so I don't know why that element of his character is so often neglected. Same with his small moments of kindness/humanity; they wouldn't hit as hard if he was like that the whole time. Idk. I'm kind of picky about writing and literature so I have a lot to say sorry lol

23. Favorite picture of this character?

If we're talking about canon art of him only then I will forever be thinking about this gif of him. It makes me crazy. Same with this drawing toby did of him, you people have no idea the damage it does to me

If fan works are included... then this piece by @fatspamton is my absolute favorite picture of spamton EVER and it has been for the longest time, no question about it. It's exactly how I see him in my head and he looks so charming in it T_T <3 All of this artists spamton art (and other art/music too!!) is absolutely worth looking at if you ask me; the way he draws spam is unbelievably perfect, I think about all of its works of him very often :"^]

24. What other character from another fandom of yours reminds you of them?

Going to be honest I've been stumped on this one. I don't think I have any answer?? There's no guy that takes up my brain space which is similar enough to him for me to say in full confidence "yeah x is like him," sorry!

Veronica, the Silver Drewman

Statistics

Aesthetic: Pretty

Age: 22 (Season One)

Alignment: Enactor

Badge: Spoon

Color Type: Gray (Metal)

Effects: Bellbottom (Veronica slaps her hip to make a booming bell noise. Sometimes she just screams to get a similar effect); Wrecking Ball (Veronica tucks herself into a ball and rolls towards the opponent at high speeds); Supernova Sparkle (Veronica spins, blinding everyone around her); Silver Star Strike (Veronica beats the tar out of the opponent)

Extra Forms: Heavy Mettle (Veronica becomes solid silver, sacrificing mobility for sheer strength); Reforged (Veronica becomes superheated, turning her semi-liquid and adding a flame effect); Supercharged (Veronica carries an electrical current, adding an electric effect)

Family: Addison, Alexandre, and Bronson von Nillion (Siblings); Roscoe von Nillion (Father)

Standout Features: Long hair with a short ponytail, metallic sheen, anime eyes, tank top over shirt, belt.

Rank: A- (Main Character)

Character Bases

Development

Veronica started off as a character similar to how Eloise is now; cool, sociable, and glamorous. The literal second piece of artwork featuring her immediately made her infinitely more dramatic, flamboyant, and childish, symbolized by a more youthful and cute design. Part of this was because Veronica, formerly Dolly, was completely unrelated to Alexandre in her first design.

Veronica’s promotion to main cast long after Al actually helps to play into the differences between the two. Al’s a doormat and unable to ask for himself, so Ronnie’s the one to get them tangled into the main plot. It’s the sibling version of “he asked for no pickles”.

Title: E-Mail Guy's first day lol

HEY EVERY !! ITS HIM! N0 BUDDIES FAVORITE [[E-MAIL GUY!!!]] 

Well, well, here is my first ever DELTARUNE fanart! I've loved this game since it first came out, and while on disability, I played Chapter 2 and loved it even more than Chapter 1. This guy captured my [[HeartShapeObject]] the moment he popped out of the trash. He's officially my favorite character ever made (yes, I am dead serious about this.) I REALLY like this character, so expect to see more of him from my gallery even if you don't want to!

Why did I draw him this way? Answers Below!

Spamton's back story is mysterious, and the game doesn't give us much to work with regarding his past. This drawing is based on my interpretation of him before he became the lovable trash puppet. There are a lot of fan interpretations of Spamton as an Addison, but I rarely see anyone draw him with black hair. I like his contrast with the black hair against the white skin (is he Snow White??!), but I understand why fans choose to depict him with white hair while he was still the "e-mail guy." I included a variant with the white hair for anyone who prefers that version. The white hair makes sense, but I like the idea of him having black hair as an "error" or anomaly. The gray outline is based on the sprite of both him and the Addisons. I'm a little bummed out to see most fan art does not include their cute little glow. No other NPCs have this look, so I believe it was intentional. 

My theories regarding the Addisons and Spamton are based on my experiences working in Sales and Customer Service (and yes, at some point, I was the e-mail guy lmfao.) Spamton confirmed in a Q&A that he was shorter than the others before his downfall. It's hard to tell in this picture, but he is still short, just closer to canon height, which is slightly shorter than Kris. I imagine the Addisons as being like male ballet dancers because of their attire and pointed feet. I'll probably write a speculative fanfic on this because I find how these characters work fascinating from the perspective of someone who studied advertising and sales. I also did ballet for nine years, so funny that. HAHA!

In this image, Spamton has not yet been relegated to the e-mail job just yet as they test him to see how well he performs on the floor. From my experience, if you suck at doing something upfront but your employer still likes you, they'll move you into another position. So, this is before they do that. LOL  Likewise, if you are not very good at ballet, you get sent to the back or to a spot where the audience can't see you very well. 

Anyway, I hope to do more pics of this character and his co-workers soon because I really like them, haha!

Who are 10 characters you wished were LIs?

Ok so I went over the 10 limit lol

Faith (KOD), Vivian (TPA) and Diana (BP). Faith because I love the friends to lovers trope and there was like 5 times in the book I thought her and mc should have kissed. Vivian because I loved her personality and I didn't much care for Agent Gray and our ex lover. And Diana, I thought was super pretty and I liked her personality much more than I did Aisha.

Then all the female side characters in OH that I love. I wanted Harper as a LI soooo bad! I love older women and if Ethan could be a LI then there was no reason for Harper to not be a LI as well. My 2nd favorite was Sienna, I love shy sweethearts so she captivated me. Then Kyra and Aurora. I really thought that they would be LIs when I was first reading OH and the fact that we flirted with both of them and pb didn't lead through...let's just say I haven't reread the series again and I refuse to because of the lack of f!LI. Jackie was not my type and so OH was a single LI book for me as wlw. I really feel like if OH was written around the same time as LOA, we would have had hookup options at least.

Then there's Ximena from ROD, again, didn't much care for Mona and Logan wasn't goc, which he really should have been, but I fell for Ximena hard! She was so kind and called mc "sweetie" and I think "darling" and when a hot butch calls me sweetie or darling, I fold faster than a deck of cards lol.

And there's Addison Dalton and Jordan from TNA. I found the Addison's sprites gorgeous! And I loved the idea of mc leaving Sam for Sam's ex-wife or the old nanny falling for the new nanny. Pretty much I liked everyone who wasn't Sam lol.

And then honorable mention for hookup ideas:

Sofia (TNA) and Serafine (BB). I don't necessarily want to endgame choose these two in the books but I wanted to hookup with them. For one hot moment I thought Sofia was going to come onto us in book 1 when mc helped her in the dressing room with her wedding dress. I was very disappointed when it ended up being a verbal cat fight over Sam. I also thought the writers should have allowed us to hookup with Serafine in BB (book 2 I think? Or was it book 1, when we meet her? Idk, the series was very disappointing to me and very m!LI in my face to reread the series in awhile) but when we went to the club and there was a threesome option with Adrian and Jax, the wlw should have been given an option to hook up with Serafine.

…………………………………………………………………

It happened again when they were in surgery together. Alex was on stand by monitoring the baby, while Jo was assisting Addison in a fetal surgery. They were taking the tumor out of an unborn baby. Alex enjoyed this, as he barely got to do surgery with his wife, much less observe her in her own surgery. But Jo adored Addison and wanted to learn as much as she could from the renowned surgeon. 

“Right there Karev, just delicately cut the last strand holding the tumor,” Addison instructed as Jo made the cut. 

“That’s it,” Jo asked looking up at Addison as she pulled out the tumor from the tiny baby’s abdomen.

“That's perfect, you have very steady hands and excellent technique,” Addison said with a nod of approval.

“Thank you,” Jo beamed as placed the tumor on the tray.

“I can see a great future in fetal surgery if that’s what you want?” Addison added, looking over at Jo with a raised eyebrow. “Gray was telling me that before you went into OB, you were her protégé of sorts.” 

“Well, I don't know about that,” Jo said modestly as she looked back at the baby to hide her blush.

“She's lying. She was Meredith’s second in everything and she was one of the best general surgeons in the hospital, probably even the country. Did I tell you she was the first surgeon to successfully do an ALPPS procedure on the West Coast?” Alex said with a smile, he was always proud of his wife.

“You didn’t,” Addison said as she looked over at Jo with a raised eyebrow.

Although, Jo’s pink blush turned a bright red that peeked out under her mask as it spread to her neck. “I loved general surgery and I was a good surgeon, but during the pandemic, everything changed. I got pulled into a delivery a few days after I found out I was pregnant. It was such a joyous occasion and it gave me a bit of happiness back at work. From then on I made the choice to chase joy and so here I am.”

“Well, I'm glad you found your joy. We need more good OBs like you,” Addison said earnestly. 

“Thank you,” Jo said, her blush evident in her voice as she even giggled a little bit. Alex had to remind himself to tease her later for her obvious crush on Addison. 

“And now you’re surrounded by babies day and night,” Addison said with a knowing smile as they started to stitch up the baby. “Alex tells me you two have two toddler girls and another baby girl on the way.” 

“We don’t know for sure if it’s a girl, but yeah, babies are my life these days,” Jo added, lightly glaring at Alex. It was their current petty argument as they both agreed to wait until the baby was born to find out the gender. 

“Our track record and my karma says otherwise,” Alex reminded her as she rolled her eyes.

“I'm sure you make a good girl Dad Karev,” Addison said, in a teasing tone as she looked up at him.

“He does,” Jo said as she and Addison shared a giggle.

“Well that's it for baby, let’s close,” Addison said as she delicately tucked the baby back into their mother's belly as Jo removed all of their monitors and the IV that had kept them still during the surgery. “Would you like to do the honors Karev?”

“I’d love to,” Jo said as she and Addison switched positions. 

“Alright, then I'll leave you to it, but meet me for lunch. I'd love to discuss your future in fetal surgery,” Addison said as she watched Jo suture. 

“Why don't you, Jake, and Henry come over for dinner tomorrow?” Alex proposed as Addison paused. “I'll smoke that brisket I've got in the fridge and we can enjoy the start of summer before you go back to California?”

“You barbecue?” Addison asked as she raised an eyebrow at him. 

“Well smoking a piece of meat is different,” Alex began to explain before Jo cut him off.

“Don't even get him started, he'll talk for hours about different woods and smoke flavors,” Jo said, with a gentle shake of her head.

“It makes a difference, but yes I do barbecue too, why?” Alex asked, tilting his head. 

“Nothing, I just have to call Callie and tell her she was right, you're a suburban dad,” Addison said with a smile as she and Jo laughed and even Alex had to chuckle because it was true. “But I’d love to have smoked meat or whatever at your house tomorrow night.”

“Sounds good,” Alex agreed as his mind wandered and he started preparing the meal in his head. 

“I’ll see you both then,” Addison said, as she stripped off her gown and gloves.

“Well, I guess my job here is done,” Alex said standing up, although he was reluctant to go.

“You can stay if you want Dr. Karev,” Jo said, looking over at him with flirting eyes.

“Well, if you insist, Dr. Karev,” Alex said as he sat back down.

Addison looked between the two of them and shook her head with a chuckle. “Who knew that Alex Karev would be so whipped for his wife.” 

Jo laughed as she agreed. “I know, he's so cute, especially when he stares at me.”

“I don't stare at you,” Alex said, crossing his arms.

“Yes, you do,” both Addison and Jo said as they looked at each other and giggled.

“Well I can’t help it,” Alex said as he changed tune and played along with them. “I've got a beautiful wife and it's nice to admire her.” 

“Are they always like this?” Addison whispered to Bookeh.

“Yes,” Bokhee responded as the rest of the OR laughed. 

“At least they’re not as bad as Meredith and Derek,” Addison said and Bokhee agreed with a nod.

Addison left to scrub out and Alex looked over the external monitors on the baby. Everything looked good and he went back to making the meal plan in his head. He figured he’d serve fresh sweet corn with coleslaw and cornbread. Except he didn’t know how to make the latter two, so he’d have to find a good store bought kind. Alternatively, he could find a good recipe, but he wasn’t sure if trying to bake was a good idea. Especially given his track record and Jo wasn’t a good baker either. 

“Dr Karev?” one of the nurses asked, catching his attention. 

He wasn't sure if they were talking to him or Jo, but as he looked up he saw all of them looking over at Jo. She had paused and was staring at her stitches. She held the needle as if she was about to continue, but her fingers were still. The feeling of ice being poured down his back hit him. Something was wrong. Alex put the monitor down and got up just as Jo's eyes fluttered and she swayed as she dropped her instruments. 

“She's going to pass out,” Alex yelled as he raced to catch his wife just as she fainted and fell into his arms.

“Someone call for help!” Bokhee demanded as she took charge of the OR while the other nurses gathered around Jo. 

“Addison!” Alex screamed as she rushed back in from the scrub room having seen what happened. 

She quickly began to check Jo with her stethoscope, while the nurses took her BP and oxygen levels. Jo became the patient in the room, but all Alex could focus on was holding her as he rubbed his thumb on her cheek. 

“Jo, Jo please,” Alex said, begging her to wake up while his mind raced with the worst case scenario of what could be wrong with his wife and child.

“Come on Alex, let's get her onto the gurney,” Addison said as Alex nodded and picked up Jo bridal style before he gently laid her on the second gurney that the nurse had brought in for her.

As the nurses and Addison rushed around her, they wheeled her out into the hall and over to a recovery room. Everyone else stared at her, but Addison pulled the curtains around them. Alex held Jo's hand and rubbed his thumb across her cheek. Every second they walked felt like an eternity. However, they were moving as fast as they could and the nurses buzzed around her. After what seemed like hours, but was most likely a few seconds later, Jo's eyes started to flutter as she came around. 

“Oh thank God,” Alex said as he kissed her hand. 

“What happened?” Jo asked her eyebrows knitted together as she looked around.

“You fainted, Dr. Karev,” Addison said as Jo looked over at her while she shined a light in Jo’s eyes. 

“Oh no,” Jo said with a sigh as she looked at Alex, her eyes were still hazy.

“It's okay, you're okay,” Alex whispered, reassuring her as much as he was reassuring himself. 

“How are you feeling now?” Addison asked as she looked down at Jo with concerned eyes. 

“I'm feeling okay,” Jo said with a nod as she tried to sit up on her own, but quickly gave up and laid back against the bed. 

“Please Jo, just take it easy,” Alex said, he knew she was trying to remain strong, but he could see how drained she was as she looked up at him with tired eyes. 

“Alright, let's see what's going on with you and baby. Since this is your second time fainting in two weeks, I’d like to run a few tests,” Addison said as she and the nurses quickly ordered a few tests as they set up an IV and blood draw.

“I probably just overexerted myself again with the long surgery,” Jo said as she squeezed Alex's hand forcing him to truly look at her again as he stopped bouncing his leg. “I'm fine, you need to relax.”

“You are far too calm for someone who just fainted,” Alex said as he rubbed his sweaty palms on his scrub pants.

“Well, it's not like I haven't fainted before and it's always nothing. There's no reason to think otherwise this time around,” Jo said with a slight smile and no hint of worry in her eyes.

She relaxed back into the bed and let the nurses dote on her as they placed a warm blanket over her. They brought her a pack of crackers and juice, but she just sipped on the juice. They got her changed into a gown and set up with monitors and an IV. He hated that there was nothing he could do and his mind filled with worry. Yet, Jo was right, it was probably nothing.

Then Addison watched the monitor, grabbed her stethoscope again, and listened to Jo's heart. She truly listened for a second too long and looked down at her watch again. Then she moved to listen to the baby's heartbeat again, listening for longer than necessary. Alex perked up as he watched her face, looking for any sign of trouble. 

Addison’s face betrayed nothing as usual. Then she looked up, catching his eyes, and flashed him a smile. It was one Alex had seen many times before, but it was fake and meant to reassure him while hiding the truth of her worry underneath. He could see her mind work on the next step, the next test, the next surgery his wife would need. 

“Well everything sounds good, but I'd still like to do further labs to confirm, so hang tight,” Addison said as she stood up and gave Jo’s leg a pat.

Jo nodded, taking another sip of her juice, but Alex stood up, causing her to pause. “Addison, wait, you’re not telling us everything, are you?”

This caused Jo to pause and look over at him and Addison. He knew she was reading their faces and suddenly worry appeared in her eyes as she put a hand protectively over her baby. 

“What is it?” Jo asked Addison, demanding answers.

“It's probably nothing,” Addison said, trying to reassure them but Alex hated that. He hated when doctors did that which was why he respected those who didn't. 

“That's bullshit, Addison. We're not normal patients, we're doctors just like you. We know all the tricks that you use to reassure a patient before you know what’s going on. Something's wrong and you know it, so just tell us, please,” Alex asked, his palms growing sweaty, but he didn't dare let go of Jo's hand and she squeezed his hand harder.

Addison nodded and took a deep breath before she sat down on the stool. The nurses that had gathered around them left and Addison looked them in the eyes. “Jo, you have an arrhythmia. I'm not sure what causes it or what it could mean. However, I've also noticed your other symptoms, like your swollen feet and ankles, and your labored breathing, even while you're lying here. I don’t know what it means, but I'd like Maggie to consult.” 

“So there’s something wrong with my heart?” Jo asked as she started to tear up and Alex squeezed her hand as Jo looked at him.

“I believed so,” Addison said with a frown as she came over and sat on the bed, putting a hand over Jo’s on her belly.

“I'm sorry,” Jo said with a shaky breath as a few tears appeared in her eyes. “I thought that it was just normal pregnancy symptoms. I mean I'm carrying a Karev sized baby and I can't really see my feet, but I knew they were huge. Still, I didn't think too much of it. And they’ve been pressing on my ribs so I figured that's why I couldn't breathe and I didn't notice my heart rate....”

Jo broke out into a sob and she turned into him as Alex wrapped his arms around her and just held her. “Hey, it's not your fault. I didn’t notice it either. Besides, you're not supposed to think of all the bad things that could cause your systems.” 

“Alex is right, and as you said, you think about them kicking your ribs and how much your feet ached, not that it meant something was wrong. Worrying about your symptoms is my job,” Addison said as she reached out and rubbed Jo’s back. “Carina and I are your doctors and we're going to take good care of you and your baby, Jo, I promise.” 

Jo nodded as she looked over at him as he gave her a reassuring smile despite how scared he was. Jo nodded as she calmed down and he gave her a few tissues before Addison got up. “I’m going to have you moved to a room on the maternity ward. In the meantime, try and distract yourselves and think about what you're going to serve for the barbecue tomorrow, okay?” 

Addison gave them a slight smile as she picked up a food magazine and handed it to him. They both nodded as Addison left, and Alex looked over at Jo. She had tears in her eyes, ones he was holding back as well. As soon as the curtain closed, Jo broke down into tears and Alex followed her as they cried. Jo tugged on his hand, pulling him into bed with her. She shuffled to the side and he reached out to put his arms around her and hold her as she tucked herself against him.
