The next morning both our pagers went off.
" shit!" I yelled getting dressed.
" oh my god!" Mer got up too.
We both ran to Charlotte's room.
" DEREK HELP!" Addison yelled.
Charlotte was seizing.
" GET HER ON HER SIDE ON MY COUNT ONE... TWO... THREE!"
Nothing I tried worked.
" WE DONT HAVE TIME GET HER INTO THE OR NOW!" I yelled. We started to move her.

ONCE IN THE OR:

" Derek please..." Addison said.
" okay guys it's a beautiful day to save lives lets get started." I smiled.
Arizona walked in.
" sorry I'm late what's going on? I thought the surgery wasn't till 10."
" Well since you didn't let us do the surgery earlier we had to do an emergency c-section. Charlotte wouldn't stop seizing."
" it's too early for the baby to come out.." I cut her off.
" CHARLOTTE WAS SEIZING! I DONT CARE IF ITS TOO EARLY I WAS SAVING ALL FOUR OF THEIR LIVES!" I yelled.
" ITS TOO EARLY DEREK!"
" Get out of my OR Arizona. Karev is handling it."
" alex? Seriously?"
" ARIZONA GET THE HELL OUT OF MY OR! NOW!"
She walked out.
" one baby is out two more to go."
" wait." I said. I was done with my surgery and had fixed the problem.
" what?"
" let's see if we can keep the two inside her. Let see if she'll wake up."
" and if she doesn't?" Addison asked
" give it 24 hours if she doesn't we'll go back in."
" okay."
" close up Karev. We are done here."
I scrubbed out and went to Cooper's room.
" how's he doing?" I asked
" he's been in and out all day. He needs to be awake for a full 24 hours before they can clear him." Mark said
" and mason?" Hasn't woke up yet.
I walked in.
" coop hey. I don't know if you can hear me but if you can we just delivered one of your girls. I fixed the problem with the seizures in Charlotte. We are hoping to keep the other two babies in for their full term. We will give it 24 hours to see if she wakes back up."
I started to walk out.
" Derek!" Mark chirped
" what?"
" look!" He turned me around. Cooper was opening his eyes.
" I- I have a daughter?" He managed to get out.
" yeah you do. You have a daughter." I smiled.
" and um mason?"
" I'm sorry coop he hasn't woken up yet."
" when do I get to go home?"
" when you stay awake for 24 hours."
" straight?"
" yes ."
" okay. Can I at least see my daughter?"
" I'll bring her in." I said. I went to the NICU to find Addison sitting with the baby.
" thank you Derek. Really."
" heyy anytime. Now this bundle of joy is needed for a visit to her dad."
" did you hear that kiddo you are going to go see your dada yeah your dada." Addison said.
We brought her to Cooper and let him have time with her. We went to check up on Mason.
" how's he doing?" Mark asked
" still hasn't opened his eyes. We were hoping he would." Sam said
" us too." Addison said
" no like really hoping."
" yeah we know."
I looked down at my feet.
" Addison you are not understanding." I said
" then explain it to me."
" if Mason does not wake up in what..."
" 48 hours." Sam said
" then they will declare him brain dead. They will say he is not gonna wake up and there is nothing they can do."
" but they can't he is just they can't."
" but they can. That's the problem." Mark said
" he needs to wake up. Soon." I said
