Zoe was in a rush when she had got to the hospital. Over the last few months she had been able to send families home with the best news of all. And it was those smiles she had loved to see, but today the good news that she wanted to keep her spirits up ended when she got a panicked call regarding Noelle. Over the course of the last year things had gone from one extreme to another and Zoe was ready to handle anything when it came to the little girl she had grown close to. What she had expected when she walked into her room wasn't what she got.

"What's this?" Zoe asked highly confused, seeing two happy birthday balloons.

"I thought I was the sick one?" Noelle asked with a lazy smile.

"She begged me to do this, because you spend so much of your time here with the kids and she wanted your day to be special," Jesse filled her in.

"I should've known you were up to something once I told you my birthday," Zoe laughed. "Thank you, Noelle."

"You made my birthday special, it's the least I could do," Noelle shrugged. Zoe hugged the small child. Noelle had made this birthday a really special one. "I do have a present for you but it hasn't arrived yet," Noelle told her with a sad face.

"That's okay," Zoe assured her. "Whatever you got me, I'm sure it'll be here shortly. Thank you for this Noelle."

"Take a cupcake at least," Noelle told her with a small yawn, picking up a puzzle piece to finish putting together her little puzzle.

"I'll be back in an hour and we can go for that walk in the little garden," Zoe told her. Noelle nodded her head. "Thank you," Zoe told them, taking a cupcake shutting the door behind her. A smile on her face as she got to work.

Wade had been to so many different stores in New York that he had no desire to step into one ever again in his life. Traffic was so crazy that by the time he had ended up at the hospital he was already hours late and he'd have to deal with a mad Noelle. He had promised her that he'd come see her right away. He had got in late last night. He was only going to be around until Tuesday he couldn't stay longer. He had been given one thing to do and he had failed at it, but it wasn't his fault that he couldn't find what it was he was sent out to do.

"Did you get it?" Noelle asked in a hopeful voice placing her last piece of her puzzle into the right spot.

"It was a challenge but I got it," Wade informed her, pulling it from it's package. "What's the big deal anyway?" He questioned his niece. This was only the second time he had came to see her while she spent the last year in the hospital were she spent a good amount of her days fighting for her life as the rest of them seemed like nothing was wrong at all.

"It just is, Uncle Wade," Noelle told him, taking the package that Wade changed things over to, just like he had been told to do by his niece. "Do you think you can for find Dr. Z?" Noelle asked him, now that she was done inspecting it.

"Dr. Z?" He questioned, when she told him what to do over the phone, he hadn't questioned it, thought it was a bit weird but did as she wanted.

"Dr. Hart," Jesse told him.

"I'll make sure she gets it," Wade promised, grabbing the action figure and walking out of the room. He had never seen the doctor he was looking for so as he passed the doctors in the hall he had to glance at their names. Getting to the nurse's station he figured it would be best if he just left the wrapped present there for the doctor. "Excuse me," he said, getting the attention of someone.

"What I can do for you?" A guy asked, walking over to where he was standing.

"I was wondering if you could make sure that Dr. Hart got this, it's really important," he told the guy, pushing the present across the counter.

"Uh okay, I'll make sure she gets it," the guy told him with a scrunched up face, taking the present.

"Thanks," Wade told him, walking off.

"For you, Dr. Hart." Wade heard as he walked away. He thought about turning around to get a glimpse of this doctor he had heard so much of, but he thought better of it and kept looking forward.

Zoe on the other hand took the present and looked down the hall she had been told the guy that left it for her went. All she saw was a guy wearing a plaid shirt, his brown hair sitting perfectly on top of his head, she didn't recognize who he was. With a frown she looked down to see that Noelle's name was on it, she smiled, whoever the guy was, he had to have been close to Noelle.

She waited until she was back in her office before carefully opening the present. Zoe opened the present letting a small laugh out seeing the custom made super-heroine that Noelle has made for her. She had gotten a barbie doll whose profession was a doctor and the barbie even had brown hair. The barbie had a clipboard in one hand and wearing a pink cape. Written on top of the box in black marker was Dr. Z. She let a small laugh out as she placed the box on her bookshelf. For Noelle to give her that it made Zoe happy and a tear or two of happiness slipped out of her eye. Noelle was including her into her little circle of Superheroes.

What she had thought was going to be a bad day turned out to be one of the best days she's had in a long time, she leaned back in her chair letting her mind wander back to the day of Noelle's birthday.

With Noelle's room empty, Zoe quickly got busy adding some birthday decorations. She made sure not to over do it. But a few birthday balloons were in one corner, a birthday banner hung on the wall and a few different colored streamers crossed paths on the ceiling. A few presents sat in the window ledge, some juice was sitting by a stack of cups. A little table by the door was lined with a little bit of snack food that she would be able to stomach when she felt up to. At the very end of the table were a dozen mini cupcakes decorated with Wonder Woman colors and little rings.

"Dr. Zoe I didn't think you'd make it today," Noelle commented from her spot in the wheel chair that her dad was pushing.

"I couldn't miss today, it's a very special day," Zoe replied with a smile. "I had a little something I had to do this morning that was urgent, I won't miss tomorrow's walk, but I thought you liked nurse Lee?" Zoe questioned, opening the door so Jesse could push the wheelchair into the room.

"I do, he's great and funny," Noelle told her. Whatever else was to come from her mouth had been lost as she saw the room.

"Happy birthday," Zoe told her.

"Zoe," Jesse whispered caught off guard. "You didn't have to do this," he told her a beat later.

"I wanted to do this, birthday's are meant to be special and treasured and since you couldn't have a big party like you wanted I thought I'd do a little something."

"Can you stay for a moment?" Noelle asked, as Jesse lifted her up to place her back in the bed. Zoe nodded her head, seeing the rest of her little surprise hadn't shown up yet. "When's your birthday?" Noelle asked as she carefully looked around the room taking it all in.

"October 24th," she replied with a smile.

"Can I open my presents?" She asked, eyeing the few that were in the window. Jesse went to say something but Zoe cut him off.

"Not right this moment," Zoe told her getting a sad look from Noelle and a curious one from Jesse. "You can't open presents until everyone is here," she smiled.

Right on cue Lavon, Jackie and Earl walked into the room signing Happy Birthday. Wade as much as he wanted to be there, he just couldn't be but he had sent his present with Lavon and promised that he'd call her later in the day.

Jesse shared a smile with Zoe watching the doctor slip out of the room. As much as Zoe wanted to stay there and spend the day with Noelle and her family, she couldn't do that, she still had work to do.

"I know Jesse's told you this many times already, but thank you for everything you've done to bring a smile to my granddaughter's face since she's been here," Jackie said, stepping out of the room to stop Zoe from going to far.

"I wouldn't consider myself a very good doctor if I let them stay in a funk while they were here. I want them to be happy, to believe that anything is possible once they get beyond these walls. For Noelle to have a smile on her face, it helps me know that I'm doing what I wanted to do since I was a little girl, helping to make a difference in the world. As much as I'm helping her out, she's doing the same thing for me," Zoe replied. "You're welcome," she smiled. "We both want the same thing and that's for Noelle to get better."

"She will," Jackie told her with determination.

"She will," Zoe mimicked, letting Jackie go back to the little impromptu birthday party.
