OMG I didn't realized I haven't updated since December! I'm so bad sorry :/

Thanks for the reviews: CBGirl & Guest!


Jo was throwing up in the girls' restroom. Morning sickness sucks.

"Don't be nervous," Stephanie said. "It's your first solo surgery…which I'll be gladly to take off your hands if you need me to."

"I'm not nervous…" Jo said, as she walked out of the stall and headed towards the sink.

"Then you better not be pregnant. If you let Karev throw a kid in there; I'll never forgive you." Crap.

"I'm not pregnant," she covered up quickly. "…and I'm not nervous; I know what I'm doing. Step one: medial dissection; step two: find the triangle of doom and avoid the iliac vain; step three-"

"-Puke." Jo gave her best friend a look. "Bailey is going to eat you alive."

"No she's not, because I'm a badass, because step three: lateral dissection; step four…" Damn what was it…oh yeah! "…identify triangle of pain. See? I'm going to do great! I'm not scared of little bitty Bailey." Jo was smiling until she heard a toilet flush. Then Dr. Bailey came out. Oh shit…Stephanie quickly left the room.

"Think you can turn on the faucet for me, Dr. 'Badass'…" She said to a shock Jo. "I would, but my hands are so 'itty bitty'." Jo didn't know if she was serious or not, so she moved her on to turn it on and Bailey slapped it out of the way. Yep, she wasn't serious.


Alex didn't have any surgeries today; so he just went over his post-ops. He kept looking at his watch. He was waiting for Jo's solo surgery to start. He purposely tried not to schedule any surgeries today so he wouldn't miss it. 1:55pm; it is almost time. Alex put up the tablet and started headed towards OR2. Right when he was about to head to the gallery, Arizona Robbins stopped him.

"Not now, Robbins-" he said kind of rude, but he was almost there.

"We have an emergency appendectomy on an eight-year-old right now in OR1."

"Can you just do it? It's just a one person-"

"Now, Karev…!" She responded and ran quickly. Karev sighed. Sorry, Jo. He really wanted to see her succeed…


Jo was scrubbing in and memorizing what to do at the same time. She didn't realize Bailey walked into the scrub room.

"Good afternoon, Dr. Badass," she said. Jo rolled her eyes. "Ready for your first solo surgery…?"

"Yes." She replied and went into the operating room and went over the procedure again in her head.

Halfway, through the procedure, Jo was doing great in her mind. Her stomach started rumbling, not from being hungry, from morning sickness. No…I am not going to puke. The puke came up to her mouth and she swallowed it and she tried to hide her disgusted face. One of the things she hates about pregnancy.

"Dr. Wilson," Bailey said while reading a magazine. "Are you going to take me though what you are doing?"

"I didn't know you wanted me to, I thought you were watching?"

"It's a 'solo' procedure, Wilson; I'm only supposed to help when it's needed, but I just finished my magazine so tell me."

"Ok, well, I just finished finding the triangle of doom and now I'm trying to avoid the iliac vain…"

"…And you didn't puke in your mask, congrats." Jo rolled her eyes.


Alex and Arizona were working on the patient in surgery. They were finishing it up.

"Robbins, why did you need me in here," Alex asked. "I mean, I care for the patient, but you were capable of doing this yourself."

"I just wanted someone to be in here," Arizona replied. "You know, just in case things got hairy."

"Now I know that's a load of crap…what's the real problem?"

"Callie and I are getting a divorce," She replied, sadly.

"Oh…I'm sorry…"

"It's ok, why were you in a hurry?"

"Jo's first solo surgery with Bailey was today…I wanted to watch and see her succeed."

"Aww…when did you become a girl?" She laughed.

"Ha, you sound like Jo."

"She's good for you, you know? Seriously, she cares about you and you obviously care about her. I think you guys are going to last." She smiled at her student.

"Thanks, Robbins."


Jo got done with her first solo surgery. She was so proud of herself! If only Alex was there to see it firsthand. She headed towards the nurse station where she saw Stephanie.

"Guess who just rocked their first solo surgery," she said, beaming. Stephanie high fives Jo, proudly.

"Did you puke in your mask," she asks.

"No, I didn't-why is everyone asking me this? I got it perfect: dissection, doom, lateral and pain, bam!"

"Did you avoid the iliac vain?"

"Yes…"

"Well, you didn't say it-"

"Yes I did" Stephanie turned around.

"You didn't say it, Jo."

"I did do it…did I?"

"You're asking me?" Jo was sure she had it right…


Alex and Arizona were scrubbing out.

"Where do you sleep now," he asked her.

"Here…can't afford a hotel room every time Callie and I don't work out."

"Stay with us."

"I can't do that-"

"-Come on, Robbins…it won't be a bother."

"I can't do that to you and Wilson." She walks out. Alex sighed.


"YOU THINK YOU FORGOT," Bailey yelled at Jo.

"…I…mean…uh…"

"Dr. Wilson, it's pretty simple: did you avoid the iliac vain or not?"

"I…don't know-" Bailey covered her face with her hands. "-Dr. Bailey, what are we going to do?"

"What we're-what I'M going to do is take her to CT…just pray that's she's not bleeding internally." Bailey walked off. Jo sat down crying.


"You can't live in here, I won't allow it," Alex demanded in a friendly manner.

"Alex, drop it," Arizona replied. It was nice at first, but she's getting annoyed.

"I know what it's like to live here…it's not the best idea."

"You lived here for seven hours, Karev. Then Grey forgave you and let you back in."

"The longest seven hours ever…look at me." She turns to him. "You need a real place to stay. You've been there for me and now it's my turn to help you."

"Thanks, Alex, but don't worry, trust me." She walks off to her next patient. Alex sighed: what am I going to do? She can't live in a hospital…she needs a real home.


Jo was waiting nervously in the residents lounge with Stephanie. Jo has been crying the past hour and the hormones weren't helping the situation.

"Hey you're going to be ok," Stephanie reinsured. "I'll be here with you." Jo nodded as Stephanie rubbed her back. It's great having a friend like Stephanie. Dr. Bailey walked in.

"Edwards, get out of here," Dr. Bailey demanded.

"Yes, ma'am," Stephanie said and got out of the room. Thanks, "friend". Jo got up and fixed her scrub top.

"Dr. Bailey how is she," she asked, nervously.

"She didn't make it to CT," she replied.

"Oh my-she died…?" Jo started having a panic attack.

"I never said that-"

"-I was pretty sure I did it all right-"

"-Dr. Wilson-"

"-What?"

"She's fine."

"But you said-"

"-I said: 'she didn't make it to CT', because she didn't need to go to CT…I saw what you did, Wilson and you did everything right."

"I did?"

"Yes."

"Wait…OH MY GOD…oh my god…wait so I-"

"-Yes…look, Wilson. One day, you're going to have to do this without a safety net. I was teaching you to believe in yourself."

"Um, thanks…I guess?"

"It's going to make you a great doctor. You did well; great job." She walks out. Jo was relieved.


Alex was drinking a beer on the couch watching the news, waiting for Jo. Jo walked into the door and closed the door. Before she could sit down her bag perfectly, she ran into the nearest bathroom and threw up. Alex got up and ran to the bathroom to help her by pulling her hair back.

After she was finished, she got up and flushed and washed her hands and brushed her teeth.

"It's getting worse, isn't it," Alex asked.

"Yes, but hopefully it'll die down."

"Well-" there was a knock on the door interrupting Alex. "-Hold on, I'll get it." Alex goes to the door and opens it and sees Arizona.

"Hey," she started. Jo walked out of the bathroom and watched. "I like to take you on your offer."

Alex nodded: "Beer is in the fridge; hard stuff is on the counter." Arizona nodded. Jo gave Alex a look.
