Sister, Sister¹

Bailey's Mistake

"I can't believe April is marrying Luke," Jackson tells Ivy as they get the twins ready, "I mean. She's known the guy how long?"

Ivy rolls her eyes, "Not everyone is best friends with their eventual spouse like us, Jackson. Plus, they're having a kid together and what they want for their kid and their life is up to them."

He sighs, "I know that, but still, April has been my friend as long as you have. She's like a little sister to me and I don't want her to get hurt."

She leans over and kisses his cheek before turning back to Alexus, "And that's sweet, but just relax a little. Come on, Amy wants to see the twins before surgery today, then I want to visit Braden Morris before anything and I have a full day of board duties and phone calls with your mother."

Jackson laughs, "I wouldn't want to be you."

Ivy pouts, "Hey. Well, you wouldn't last being me for a day anyways. Lets go."

The Avery family quickly gets to the hospital where they find Amelia waiting for them in front of the hospital, "Hello my favorite sister."

"Hello to my favorite sister, her husband, and my awesome niece and nephew! Look at you two! God, they're adorable. Here, I have a waffle for you," Amelia leans down to look at the twins, handing a waffle to both Jackson and Ivy.

"Thank you! I know, I'm just that good at having good-looking children. It's a talent," Ivy brags.

Owen comes up to them, "Uh, hey. I'm sorry to interrupt but we have a legal problem."

Jackson and Ivy sigh, "Those four words together make me break out in hives. Okay, uh, Amy, do you mind taking the twins down to daycare? I'm guessing this needs to be handled right away and-"

Amelia cuts her sister off, "Of course. I don't have anything for a while. Go. Be bosses."

"Thanks. So what's going on? Who's involved?" She asks as they start walking to a conference room.

"Bailey, Edwards, and the Morris family."

"Damn. I like the Morris'"

The lawyer sits next to Jackson as they face Bailey and Edwards, "Parents authorized your treatment with signed consent."

"Yes," Bailey nods.

"Then they told Dr. Edwards that they changed their mind."

"Yes," Edwards nods.

"Dr. Edwards informed you, Dr. Bailey, of the parents withdrawal of consent."

"Yes," they say.

"And then you gave the patient the stem-cell transplant anyway."

Bailey nods. The lawyer asks, "Have you told anybody else about this?"

"I informed Dr. Yang this morning as a representative of the board," Bailey tells them.

Jackson, Ivy and Owen all share a look as the lawyer asks, "What did she say?"

"She gave me a high-five."

Ivy asks, "And did you apologize?"

"To Dr. Yang?" Bailey questions.

She shakes her head, "To the parents. An apology could go a long way in circumstances like this."
