She wasn't sure if it was the thunder that woke her up, or the fact that the bed kept bumping into the wall, whichever it was she was awake. Gisele pulled the earbuds out and was about to hop off when she heard moaning and suddenly the bed bumping into the wall made sense. She couldn't move at first due to shock and not wanting to believe she was in her current predicament. A flash of lightning broke her out of her state of shock and she squealed in fright. The moaning stopped as did the bed. She hopped off, landing on her feet and saw a brief glimpse of Arizona and left immediately. Not even looking where she was going, she bumped right into Jackson.

"Whoa, you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost."

Gisele cleared her throat, "You could say that."

"You should head to the NICU, it's under staffed and no one can find Arizona." Jackson said.

"I think I found her." She muttered before waking past Jackson and heading to the NICU.

Once she made it, she grabbed a pink gown and out it on, she heard rushed footsteps approaching her.

Arizona went up behind Gisele and tied or for her, "I am so sorry–"

Gisele cut her off by turning her around and tying her gown, "It's fine, forgotten about it already... except not."

Arizona nodded hesitantly, "Ha-Have you told anyone?"

"Not my business, besides it happens to the best of us."

Arizona nodded, "Right, you cheated on someone?" She asked hopeful.

Gisele shook her head, "It didn't count as cheating," Arizona gave her a weird look, "I was in an open relationship with this guy for a couple of months before deciding it wasn't for me." Gisele left a stunned Arizona behind and walked into the NICU, immediately spotting Jo. She went over to her, "Hey, what are you doing here? You okay?"

"I'm fine, better. And Alex and I came to help."

"The pit says we have to suspend evacuations due to the weather." Stephanie yelled from the nurses station.

"Wait. We were just down there." Alex said."

"The last rig to leave couldn't even make it out of the parking lot."

Lighting flashed and the thunder cracked, the lights began flickering which had all caused Gisele to scream and jump into Jo's arms.

The lights came back and Arizona glared at Gisele, "Keep it together Shepherd." She whisper-yelled.

"Sorry," Gisele muttered.

"Ok. Don't worry. Don't worry. All of our staff is very well trained, and your babies are in very good hands, okay?" Arizona assured the parents before huddling with doctors, "I only see two nurses. No one else made it in for their shift? Oh, okay. All right. This is important. The makers of tiny humans get easily spooked. It is our job tonight to keep the tiny human makers happy, or they will mutiny, and we are outnumbered. We remain calm. We remain confident. Because everything is just fine. Understood?" The group of doctors nodded.

"You need some help?" Boswell asked and she stepped into the huddle.

"Yes." Alex said.

Arizona disagreed, "No. I-I thought that I told you–"

Boswell cut her off, "I'm not gonna sit on my hands while there's a roomful of babies that need help. What can I do?"

"You can cross-check the med rec forms so we can get the correct dosages," once she left Arizona glared at him, "We're outnumbered. Keep the human makers happy, right?"
