Today I was 28 weeks pregnant, I could stomach some stuff a little better. I had about 4 weeks left before they wanted to check on me and see how the babies were doing. I went to weekly doctor visits with the O.B at the hospital. I knew where I wanted to be the day I went into labor, right here because I'm surrounded by doctors to help me. I walked into Seattle Grace Mercy West alone Jackson was home today his day off. I was in charge of his service for the day, Plastics Posse I was almost a 1st year resident I had 5 more months until my intern test but hey I knew my stuff somehow I succeeded at all surgeries. I was allowed to run a service thanks to Dr. Webbers trust in me. I was to page Jackson if I needed him, which today was an easy day.

As I looked over my first chart I was confused at some of the writing that I paged Teddy to help me look it over. Once she arrived she took the chart

"Here for a CABG" Teddy said as we walked into the patient's room together.

"Ted Wilson 47 here for a CABG" I say presenting the chart "Has severe Coronary Heart Disease. Came in with angina, and nearly had a heart attack at breakfast. The surgery is set for 10am which is just 2 hours away" I continue as the patient and his wife listen to my extreme knowledge about the surgery. "What we will be doing is a healthy artery or vein from the body is connected, or grafted, to the blocked coronary artery. The grafted artery or vein bypasses (that is, goes around) the blocked portion of the coronary artery. This creates a new path for oxygen-rich blood to flow to the heart muscle. Our goal is stop the heart attacks"

Ted looks at me "I hope so"

I smile "Dr. Altman is the best cardiothoracic surgeons here. You are in great hands"

Teddy smiles too "And Dr. Davis is gonna be there to help me"

Ted and his wife smile "Sounds great. Even for an intern you seem good on your knowledge of what this surgery is. I look forward to seeing you after surgery is complete"

I smile "Absolutely. We will be back in a few hours to prep you for it"

With that we walked out of Ted's room and parted ways as I went to check on a pre op patient of Jackson's. As I walked into the room I was reading her chart

"Molly 19 here for facial reconstruction after a bad car accident a few months back. Molly do you have any questions before I prep you for Dr. Avery?" I look up at her

She looks at me "No Dr. Avery went over everything an hour ago"

I smile at her "Good. Let's get you prepped for him and I'll wheel you off to him. He should be on his way down in a few" with that I prep his patient as I'm finishing he walks in

"Molly ready to go Dr. Davis?" he asks

I nod "Yes she is" I hand over her chart and smile "I have a few more patients to check before I have a CABG with Teddy"

He smiles"Alright see you later"

I smile and exit the room making my way to Peds with a post op on a 3 month old baby that just had a heart transplant earlier this morning. I walk into the NICU and put on a pink gown and gloves then find little baby Wolfe. I walk up to the baby girl whose parents are standing next to her bed.

"Hi I'm Dr. Alexa Davis I'm here to check on your baby girl" I smile and introduce myself to the parents.

They smile "Tommy and this is my girlfriend Millie" I shake their hands then examine there daughter

"Strong girl, she seems to be accepting the heart" I smile and use my stethoscope to listen to her heart "You should be able to hold her later tonight if she stays stable"

They smile again "Sounds great thank you Dr. Davis"

"Your welcome page if you need anything" I say before leaving to check on one more patients who was pre op

I walk down to the ER and check on another transplant patient this one was waiting for a liver. I check her vitals and reassure her family that she was gonna be getting her liver within the half hour and that it was time to prep and take her. With that I prepped her and paged Bailey who was doing her transplant today. Bailey took over as I was off to prep my patient for CABG. Once prepped I met up with Teddy in the scrub room and began to scrub in. After we were scrubbed we walk in and get our gowns and gloves on. We walk over to the patient as Teddy looks to the scrub nurse

"10-blade please" she asks as the nurse hands it over. They start an IV to put the patient to sleep and I squirt the antiseptic solution all over the area Teddy was gonna cut. He was hooked up to a heart-lung machine as she began to cut. Once Teddy was in she took a piece of a vein or artery from the leg, a graft and will be used to channel flow past the blockage. She attaches one end of the graft to the aorta, while I help stitch other end to an area on the other side of the blockage. This allows blood to flow around the blockage and get to the heart safely. The grafting process was repeated several times due to his several blockages. We operated for six hours due to him needing several grafts. Once we finished she let me close him as I was stitching my last stitch I looked up at Teddy once I was finished. Then I saw the gallery full of interns, Dr. Owen Hunt and Dr. Jackson Avery they all clapped impressed at how great and smooth the surgery went. I scrubbed out and it was now 4pm and I was super hungry. The boys were kicking like crazy and I had an ultrasound at 5:30pm to see how they were doing. Jackson met up with me as he was walking to grab food as well.

"You were perfect baby" he says as he takes my heart walking with me

"Thanks babe" I smile as we enter the cafe and grab some food. Once we have our food we walk to his office and sit down to eat. Once we finish we throw out our trash and go to O.B for my appointment. We are greeted by the O.B who has me lay down. She squirts the jelly on and uses the ultrasound machine to find the babies. She smiles and points to them as she takes a picture for us to keep.

"They look great, keep up the good work" She says smiling and hands us the picture.

"Thank you" I say as Jackson helps me off the table and puts a hand on my belly

"My boys, we can't wait to meet you" he smiles as he talks to the babies. I smile and we leave the room as his pager goes off

"Got to go babe meet you in the lounge in an hour so we can go home" he says and kisses me goodbye

"Alright babe" I kiss back and we part ways

I go check on my post ops and check vitals before going to change. Once 6:30 hits I'm changed and waiting in the lounge for Jackson.

Jackson arrives a few minutes later "Let's get you home to sleep" he says taking my hand as I get up.

"Sounds great baby" I say as we walk to the car get in and drive home.

Once home we shower and lay in bed after a few minutes we're both passed out cold. At about midnight I wake up to intense cramping and pain. I sit up and take a few deep breaths as Jackson groggily looks at me

"Baby you okay?" he asks sitting up

I look at him "I think the babies are coming...my water just broke"

He jumps up and puts shoes on then helps me into shoes and into the car. We drive back to the hospital he grabs me a wheelchair and wheels me in bringing me to the maternity ward to be examined. Once there they confirm that the babies are indeed going to be coming. They admit me and Jackson never leaves my side we were in for a long morning as I dozed in and out the doctors checked on me every half hour. Jackson stayed awake the whole time holding my hand. About 5am I was ready to push the babies out. It took until 6:30am until the babies were finally delivered and I was stitched up.

After I was set to go my nurse put both babies in my arms and Jackson smiled big. I cried a little
