Addison's POV
"There he is. Heartbeat's strong. Since there's no dilation, looks like nothing more than Braxton Hicks." I tell Dr. Bailey as I'm examining her for signs of labour.
"Except I know the mild concerned tone. I've used it myself from time to time." Dr. Bailey says before sitting up. Genevieve was also here because I didn't want to leave her alone after the night she's had. She's currently asleep in the chair with her head using my sweater as a pillow.
"Sometimes false labour is the body's way of telling you to slow down."
"I'm a surgeon." Dr. Bailey points out.
"I understand the realities of your job but you need to understand the realities of your pregnancy and take it easy. Is there anything I can do to help?"
"Uh, yeah for starters you can help me get up off this table." Dr. Bailey says before I help her off the table and Sarah enters the room.
"Dr. Bailey. The GI lab has a couple of questions about Miss Miyazaki's esophagogram." Sarah explains to her.
"Well let's go." Dr. Bailey says before walking out of the room.
"Keep an eye on her today. Watch out for any painful contractions. More than five in an hour. Anything that could indicate pre-term labour." Sarah nods before walking out of the room. I walk over and pick up Genevieve up before leaving the room. The two of us go to my office and I place Genevieve on my couch. Genevieve's eyes open and she looks at me with a sleepy gaze.
"My sleepy baby." Genevieve puts her thumb in her mouth, but I grabbed a pacifier from my bag and put it in her mouth, replacing her thumb.
"Mommy knows little one, but thumbs are dirty." Genevieve cuddles Buttons and closes her eyes again. I'll let her sleep for another couple of hours before waking her up to take her medicine.

Genevieve's POV
Alex and George were sitting in the outdoor cafeteria so I decided to sit with them. They both each have a large plate of hotdogs in front of them as I sat down. Sarah and Cristina both come over with Cristina also holding a large plate of hotdogs.
"Why do you all have hotdogs?"
"I have a patient that's a competitive eater. So these three knucklehead decided to compete to see who can eat the most hotdogs." Sarah explained to me before I eat my hamburger. Mama comes and sits down beside me. Sarah picks up a stopwatch and the others begin eating their hotdogs. Cristina took the hotdog out of the bread and began eating them while Alex and George just eat them together.
"How are you feeling?" Mama asks me.
"Still tired but a bit better. Sorry for keeping you up."
"Don't apologize. These things happen especially because you're in pain now. Mommy and I want you to come to us when you're feeling like this instead of keeping it to yourself." Mama explains when Cristina finishes all her hotdogs while I still have half of my burger left.
"I do not think I am hungry anymore." I say before pushing my plate away from me.
"You want to be me! You want to be me but you can't be me!" Cristina says before her face looks like she wants to puke.
"Uh oh." Mama says before all of us head back into the hospital leaving Cristina alone.
"That was yucky. That contest."
"I know sweetheart." Mama says before kissing my cheek.
