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.

"Sometimes false labor 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 Claire enters the room.

"Dr. Bailey. The GI lab has a couple of questions about Miss. Miyazaki's esophagogram." Claire 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." Claire nods before walking out of the room.

Cordelia'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. Claire and Cristina both come over with Cristina also holding a large plate of hotdogs.

"Why do you all have hotdogs?" I signed to them.

"I have a patient that's a competitive eater. So these three knucklehead decided to compete to see who can eat the most hotdogs." Claire explained to me before I eat my hamburger. Mommy comes and sits down beside me. Claire 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?" Mommy asks me.

"Still tired but a bit better. Sorry for keeping you up." I signed.

"Don't apologize. These things happen especially because of what you're currently experiencing. Mama and I want you to come to us when you're feeling like this instead of keeping it to yourself." Mommy 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 signed 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." Mommy says before all of us head back into the hospital leaving Cristina alone.

"That was yucky. That contest." I signed

"I know sweetheart." Mommy  says before kissing my cheek.
