Atlas Peter Lee-Sunny knew something would happen today. Just liked when he had found out the Derek Shepherd ( his at the time boyfriend ) had a wife — who, if Atlas wasn't gay, then he would probably be drooling over her at how stunning she looked. The feeling wouldn't go away, no matter how much hot tea he had drank — it just wouldn't go away.

Little did he know, that Meredith Grey had the same feeling.

Before Atlas had to go into surgery with Burke, he made his way towards a patients room, after having heard some news.

"Pretty amazing right? The miracle of life." George smiles happily.

"Our Bailey. Becoming a mother. Feels good. Having Bailey back at the hospital. The balance is being restored." Richard leans against the hallway wall as he looks towards George but his eyes catch ahold of a running figure.

"Hey! No running in the halls!" Richard yells only to be ignored.

Atlas hears the comment, the shout, but does nothing as he comes to a skid right in front of Baileys hospital room.

"Bailsss! Mandy! Bailey is in there right? Don't tell me Oliver was lying." Atlas places his hands on his knees as he tries to catch his breath.

Derek walks by and up to the nurses station nearby. He sees the three standing there, "Hey guys." He says catching their attention. "What's going on?"

George gestures to the hospital room, "Bailey's in there."

"Oh Bailey's back? Derek grins excitedly, "That's excellent."

Derek makes his way to the door to peer in and quickly loses his smile, as he sees his wife examining Bailey. "And her cervix is being examined by my wife which is ah, which is a visual image I'll never get out of my head. Thanks for the warning."

George and Richard only smile innocently.

"Right." George mutters.

Derek's pager goes off. He looks to Atlas who gives him a friendly lopsided smile in return.

The door opens and Addison walks out, "Well...Hmm the gathering of men outside the delivery room. How mid-century of you." She moves to Derek who gives her a kiss on the cheek, Atlas avoids looking at them.

"Say hi to Bailey for me." Derek mutters to his wife before leaving.

"Mmm." She hums.

Addison walks up to the nursing station. George and Richard walk up to her, Atlas behind the two.

"How's she doing?" Richard looked to Addison.

"Taking it like a woman. 6 centimeters dilated. 50% effaced and refusing all pain meds which I think is stupid but I'm not in labor so..." she trails off before walking away, leaving the three men alone.

The doors open suddenly — scaring Atlas and making him jump back — Bailey walks out, "What are you people doing out here?"
