Ava was pushing the twins stroller as she saw Catherine and Richard walking towards her. "And how are my beautiful grandbabies?" Catherine says looking at the twins as Ava smiles at her.
"They are great. They passed their six month check up and are both really healthy and strong. Daisy won't stop shouting mama and Harry is trying to say dada." Ava says as Catherine smiles at she picks up Harry out of the stroller.
"Mind if I get Daisy?" Richard asks her as Ava shakes her head.
"It's fine go ahead I don't mind." She says as Richard picks Daisy up as they both cuddle with the twins as Arizona walks toward them.
"You hired Leah Murphy back?Why? Why? Why? W-Why would you do that?" Arizona says looking at Richard as Catherine and Ava share a look.
"Well, with Blake gone,it seemed like perfect timing." Richard says to them as he hands Daisy back to Ava.
"I thought you fired her because she wasn't cut out to be a surgeon." Arizona says to him.
"Yeah, why would you bring her back?" Catherine says looking at her husband.
"Well, she did the work to prove me wrong,and Foster's Residency Director said she excelled there,
and I think she deserved a second chance.What? Don't you believe in second chances?" Richard says to Arizona.
"No!" Arizona exclaimed as she walks away.
"I mean. Mm!" Catherine grunts as she walks away from Richard as Ava follows her.

"Bob Reeves, 40's, the driver.Some abdominal bruising, tenuous B.P.,large wounds on the left leg." The paramedic tells Ava as she nods at him.
"Robbie?! Where's my son?Somebody tell me if my son is here." Bob says in a panic looking for his son.
"Sir, he's here.They just took him inside, okay?" Ava tells him as she checks him.
"Okay. Okay. Good. Thank you.Aah!" Bob says to them.

"Looks like he took a beating." Andrew says to them.
"Car hit the median.They're lucky everyone survived." Ava says as Jackson looks at her.
"My kid was in the car with me.This guy was all over the road." Bob says to them.
"There's blood in his abdomen." Ben tells her.
"Better book the C.T." Ava says to him.
"Three lanes he whipped across just to cut me off.

"Well, I don't chase people down. I'm not crazy." Ben says to them.
"Yeah, but other people." Ava says to him.
"Oh, other people are crazy." Ben agrees with her.
"Yeah." Ava says to him.
"Well, actually sometimes,Ava, you get a little crazy." Jackson says looking at his wife as she scoffs at him.
"What? Warren, bovie this." Ava says as she rolls her eyes at Jackson.
"Well, somebody cuts you off in traffic, you unleash
a stream of obscenities that'll tear the paint off the walls." Jackson says looking at her.
"Shepherd? Really?" Ben says slightly shocked.
"Well, it's just a release.They can't hear me." Ava says to them.
"Yeah, they just think you're on the phone." Ben says as Ava nods agreeing.
"Oh, God, you don't do that with the kids in the car, do you?" Jackson asks as Ava looks at him.
"No, never. I would never. Mark would've repeated if I had." Ava says to Jackson.
"Oh, and you can't honk.I mean, that just makes crazy people crazier." Ben says to them.
"No, no honking, not ever.And when I flip someone off, I always do it below the dash, where they can't even see it. You know?" Ava says to them.
"Mmhmm." Ben mumbles agreeing.
"Or maybe you don't do anything." Deluca says as they all look at him.
"Solid advice." Ben says to him.
"Absolutely. Clamp." Ava says as she looks at Ben.

"Robbie's in surgery?" Bob asks Ava as she finishes up checking on him.
"Yeah, he had a brain bleed.They took him up as soon as they detected it." Ava says to him.
"Today was supposed to be a good one.Robbie said he wanted me to take him to buy a comic book.
Yeah, t-that kind of thing doesn't happen much anymore.He's 12 now.And everything I do pretty much embarrasses him.But today, when that guy
cut me off, I was so pissed.I mean, he could have killed us.I just... I took off after him,and then we hit a slick spot and we lost control.We hit the wall." He says as Ava looks at him.
"He's with Dr. Shepherd now.And she's excellent." Ava says as the wife's walks in and they talk as Ava excuse herself.

"I can't stop thinking about it.I watched Robbie stand there and talk to his dad.I mean, he was fine.
Then he wasn't." Ava says as she buckles the kids in the car seat as she checks each of them.
"Ava there's fine." Jackson says as she looks at him as he gets out and checks them himself before they all headed home.
