"I'm talking about the situation with Terri," Grayson said.
Deb looked at him confused.
"Look," he said, "When I found out you were Deb my life became confusing. I wasn't sure how to stay logical and still be myself. I was trying-"
"No," Deb said, "I totally understand. We were in a complicated situation."
"I was just thinking about the time Stacy acted as second chair in the case of the girl with breast cancer," Grayson said.
Deb smiled.
"You had the patience of a saint," she told him, "You always did."
"Most of the-"
Baby Stacy started crying.
"I'll get her," Deb said.
Just then Baby Jane started crying.
"Got her," Grayson said.
Grayson changed Baby Jane. Baby Stacy on the other hand needed to be bathed then changed then fed then burped then rocked back to sleep. Deb and Grayson divided that in half. Deb bathed her Grayson changed her, Deb fed her. Grayson burped her and then they both rocked her back to sleep.
Deb smiled.
"You know we make a great team," she said.
"We sure do," Grayson replied, "You're an amazing mom."
"I just worry that I won't be able to be a good mom when they're older," Deb said.
"Deb," Grayson replied, "You're an amazing mom and you will always be an amazing mom. No matter what happens your children will be loved. They will be well taken care of. We'll figure it out as we go."

Grayson and Deb went to see Isaac in the hospital late the next afternoon.
"His temperature is down," the doctor said happily, "He may be released by morning."
"Does he need to rest more or supplement formula or anything?"
"No but keep an extra close eye on him. We're going to give you medication to give him 3 times a day. It tastes kind of bad but if you mix it in with his milk he won't taste anything so when you give him his milk and feed him the medication you need to pump.
Deb nodded. Pumping took a long time so she would listen to her book on tapes when she pumped the milk.
