Alex enters the NICU and approaches Lucy.

"I thought I knew all the nurses on this floor. How did I miss you? " alex asked

" I guess I'm just lucky that way. " lucy said

" I'm Alex Karev. "

"Neat. "

"And you are? " alex said

"Not telling you my name. "

"Any reason why not? "

" Because, uh, I don't want to. "

"Okay. Then how about you pass me one of those charts? I hear there's a turnip in the cabbage patch. " Alex said

" A turnip? "

"Gorked. Brain-dead. Dr. Robbins and I have a baby with a hypoplastic left heart. The transplant coordinator... Suggested the, uh, turnip as a potential donor. "

"Yeah. Uh-huh. Well, now you do get to know my name. I'm Dr. Lucy Fields. I delivered that gorked baby. So, uh, thanks for the heads-up. I'll talk to the transplant coordinator. But now you need to leave. Come on. " lucy said

"There's no reason to overreact. " Alex said

"Really? Well, now you're barred from the NICU. How's that for overreacting? "

" You can't do that. "

" Want to find out?"

"Well, babies under a year haven't developed an immune system that will reject the new organ. It makes matching a lot easier. " Ella said as she glanced to Amex as he walked into the room
