   Summary

   Sort of fix-it for season 16. Starts after 16x15.
   After hearing Jo’s voice — raw, broken, and full of pain — Alex knows he has no choice but to come home. Even if it’s only to tell her the impossible truth: that he has children. And once the words are out, there’s no going back. Together, they must confront everything this changes… and everything it threatens to break.
