-Oh, i was expecting a probing! It's really more of a gentle swapping. - Christina told me as we were getting tested for some kind of virus.
-Speaking of probing...I decided to have the baby naturally. But i know the second i start to scream Derek is gonna have me pumped full of drugs. So i'm going to need you i there, in my corner.
-Yeah...I'm not gonna do that. When babies come out people poop on the table.
-Christina!
-No, no, no.
-Can you make it fast? Peckwell's HLHS mom s gonna be admitted. We have got to walk her through the procedure. - Alex sat down next to us.
-She wants me to watch her give birth. - Christina instantly told Alex.
-You're gonna poop on the table.
-I am not! - i scolded them.
-You are! Almost everybody does. - Alex opposed.
-Okay, so I poop on the table, it's part of the miracle of life!
-It's nasty! - Alex pulled the corner of his mouth.
-Did i ask you to watch me give birth? NO! - i raised my voice a bit to make my point clear, while the man put the stick in his nose.
-Christina! - i turned to her again.
-We have been friends a long time. You want to know how? By not watching each other poop!
-Haha. - Alex fake laughed next to me.
-This is not fair. I need you in there. You watched me throw up, we chunked tequila together, showered together, i helped to pull out an iceberg from your stomach! What is pooping after this?
-No. - she established it, leaving.
-What are you doin'? - Derek came to me from behind.
-Checking Bailey's post ops.
-I thought Richard was taking care of Bailey's patients.
-Just the infected guy. I took the rest.
-Bailey's patients are all turning up with this disease. You are pregnant. Why take this risk? - i saw the worried glance in his eye.
-I'm looking out for Bailey.
-And i'm trying to look out for you. - he patted my back.
-This is why i need Christina in the room. - i sighed.
-What room?
-The delivery room.
-Wait. What?-I'll be at that room. - Christina sighed as we were walking to an elevator, with Izzie on my other side.
-Once fetus arrives.
-You will?
-Yeah. You're gonna want me there.
-Okay.
-You're gonna poop on the table though. - Izzie chuckled next to me.
-And i'm gonna have to see it. And then i will never unsee it.
-You know what's worse than you seeing me poop on the table? And everybody knowing i will poop on the table?
-What? - Izzie asked curiously.
-Me knowing you see me poop on the table.
-So you'll suffer more than me?
-Yes!
-Good! That makes me feel better.
-What are you arguing about? - we bumped into Derek.
-Christina is going to be in the delivery room. - Izzie told him.
-I am going to be in there too. - he cleared it quickly.
-I know. You'll be looking into my eyes and holding my hand and getting me ice chips. That's just where i want you. Just there. - i locked out fingers.
-But she can run interference and handle the bossy nurses and if i decide i want drugs then she can
-Fine. - he kissed my lips once.
-Whatever you want.
-Or if i poop on the table.
-If you what?
-She's gonna poop on the table. - Izzie assured everybody.
-Everybody poops on the table. But the nurses are too kind to mention it. - Christina finished.
-It's fine. Just push him out too.
-I wanted to ask you something. - Izzie started.
-Since he is nearly 30 weeks old. I was wondering if maybe you wanted a baby shower. I'd be happy to arrange it for you. As a surprise. With friends and family. You'd get presents, Zola could get some presents, with blue cake and decoration and...Yeah. - she got carried away as soon as she started. I looked at Derek, raising en eyebrow, asking for his opinion.
-I..Do you want one? - he asked me.
-I don't know...Maybe. We should. Normal people have them, don't they?
-Yes. - Izzie caught the opportunity.
-Then it's fine with me. - i agreed.
-Derek?
-Sure.
-Cool. I'll start looking for a date and send out invitations as soon as i can.
-Izzie. Just don't throw a huge party. Please. Just family and friends. And Zozo. - i asked her.
-Yep, just that. And cake with decoration. Plus presents.
-We already have a lot of stuff. - i told her.
-I know. But he is gonna grow quickly. So he needs clothes. And some new toys. And we wil buy Zola some things too, so she doesn't feel left out.
-I...thank you Izzie. - i hugged her.
