Annie and Josh walked out of the long term care facility in Seattle, they were thankful it was on the same grounds as the hospital, joined by a covered walkway.

"Dad seems to be doing better," Josh smiled.

"He's trying to talk more," Annie agreed.

"He's only 48 and in long term care," Josh sighed.

"He knew us today," Annie pointed out.

"He still doesn't know our names," Josh said.

"But he smiled at us and said son for you, that's progress," Annie pointed out, "it's going to take months."

"You got favourite," Josh said.

"He always says I'm his favourite daughter in law," Annie replied, "but we should get to work. He'll know our names soon."

"Is Teddy meeting us there with Ellie," Josh asked.

"They are," Annie smiled, "she's 9 months already. Chris and Jenna find out what their baby is today."

"That was a good day," Josh agreed.

"I hope it goes well," Annie said, "she's really nervous she hasn't been feeling good."

"Is she okay," Josh asked.

"Exhausted," Annie said, "and stressed."

"When does Chris move," Josh said.

"Two weeks," Annie answered, "but he's here today and so is Dan. I'm really not in a Dan mood."

"Why is Dan here," Josh asked.

"We're meeting with him and David is mediating," Annie said, "I don't know why he bothers it never means anything."

"Annie," Owen called from his office door, "I was looking for you."

"Hey dad," Annie replied, "we just visited Ian before we had to start work mama was playing with Ellie."

"I have Ellie," Owen replied, "she's looking for her mommy."

"I'll come spend a few minutes with her before day care," Annie replied.

"She's having a snack," Owen said.

Annie stepped into the office, "what's for snack?"

"Cereal puff things," Owen said.

Annie saw that Ellie was in his lap and eating off his desk.

"Really we're trying to feed her at a table or her high chair," Annie groaned, "start teaching some manners. Solid food at a table."

"She's sitting at the table," Owen said, "Annie it's fine."

"She makes a mess," Annie said.

"It's fine," Owen replied.

"Mama," Ellie babbled.

"Hi Ellie bug," Annie responded, "are you having fun with grandpa?"

"Mama bye bye," Ellie said.

"No mommy is going to come sit with you," Annie replied, "did you have a good morning?"

"We did," Owen said, "we went for a walk and ate all of our cereal."

"You ate all your cereal big girl," Annie cheered.

"I have a trauma meeting in 15," Owen said, "any plans?"

"Research with Yang," Annie replied, "taking Ellie up with me I think. I'll use the carrier she's still content in it."

"Day care," Owen suggested.

"I don't know," Annie said, "she's so clingy right now when we drop her off. I feel bad."

"She was doing well before you took three weeks off for Ian," Owen said.

"I know and we're still catching up here. Dan comes today and I'm meeting him and David. I don't even want to," Annie said, "I'm so beyond done with the games. I don't have the mental energy to do this now. Josh is beyond stressed with Ian. Ellie isn't getting the time with us she needs, Jenna is struggling, Chris is a basket case. Colton is driving me insane with his constant competition and judgement. Samantha keeps venting about her relationship issues. Leslie is pestering me to visit and I'm having nightmares again. Dad, can someone please take something off my plate?"

"Breathe little bear," Owen said, "let's make a list of what has to be done today and a list of what can wait. Start with today's things."

"Check back on Ian, call Chris, meet Dan and David, help Jenna with gender reveal, pacemaker on 12 year old, 2 HLH checklists, laundry," Annie listed, "meeting to explain why I'm behind with Christina."

"You've seen Ian today let that go, you and Josh can't run there three our four times a day everyday. I know you care and you want to be there but you have a job, Ellie, and Annie you need time to breath," Owen said, "you have to see your patients. Laundry can wait. You're having nightmares because your not taking time for yourself. Tonight when you get home you're going to have dinner, play with Ellie, tuck her into bed and then have some time to read and a cup of tea."

"Laundry can't wait," Annie said, "we've been back four days and I haven't done it since before we left. Either I do laundry or we buy new underwear. I've been able to keep up with Ellie's but not Josh and mine."

"Ask my mom," Owen said, "tell nana your overwhelmed and what you need. Call and tell her, ask for help. I'm sure she'll go help with whatever."

"Dad I can do it," Annie said.

"It's an idea," Owen said, "what about Josh?"

"He's on a 36 so it's me and Ellie," Annie replied.

"Finish your day then go home," Owen said, "no extras, do not stop, do not pass go."

"We have no groceries so Ellie and I need to go shopping after work," Annie replied.

"Take out," Owen suggested.

"We've had so much of that I need real food," Annie replied, "something easy. If it's just me and Ellie I'll do a quick stir fry."

"Do what you have to here," Owen said, "I'm sure David will understand if you reschedule."

"Dan," Annie groaned.

"I don't know," Owen replied.

"I should just get it over with," Annie said.

"Then will you relax," Owen asked.

"Hopefully," Annie replied.

"I have a meeting but you can hang out here," Owen said.

"I'm going to give Ellie a cuddle then take her up to daycare," Annie replied.

"Go see your mommy," Owen said lifting Ellie over his desk.

"Hi sweet girl," Annie whispered, settling Ellie on her hip.

"You'll be fine," Owen reassured as he stood up.

"I know," Annie nodded, "thanks for always being here and choosing to be my dad."

"Mama," Ellie said, "ug."

"Do you need a hug," Annie asked, squeezing the little girl tight.

"Bye Ellie," Owen said walking out of his office.

"Bye bye," Ellie said.

Annie followed Owen out of his office and carried Ellie up to day care. She signed her in and set Ellie down on the mat with another baby around the same age. Ellie immediately started crawling towards her favourite toy. Annie tipe toed over and knelt down beside Ellie.

"Mommy has to go work now baby bug," Annie said, "can you say bye bye?"

"Bye bye," Ellie echoed.

"That's my girl," Annie smiled and gave Ellie a quick hug and a kiss before standing up.

"Is everything okay Dr. Altman we haven't seen you for a few weeks," the teacher asked.

"We had a family emergency in Portland," Annie replied, "everything is turning around now. Ellie will be back as usual."

"We miss her," the teacher said.

"She missed coming," Annie said, "she likes her routines and her friends. Josh and I are on our normal schedules now. I have my phone and my pager. She's had a snack but I don't have a bottle for her so you will need to page me."

"Of course," the teacher replied.

"If I'm in the OR just give her solids," Annie replied, "she loves the rice puffs."

"We have strawberries for snack," the teacher said.

"No," Annie replied, "she has peach slices and pear chunks. Both my sister and I are allergic to strawberries."

"Sister," the teacher said.

"Allison Altman-Hunt is my half sister," Annie replied.

"The chief's daughter," the teacher said.

"Yes," Annie replied, "we're 25 years appart. I do need to go see my patients. I'll be back around noon to feed her then will be in surgery after 1."

"Thank you," the teacher said.

Annie walked up to the peds floor and turned into the cardio hallway.

"Thing one," Christina yelled.

"I just got back," Annie said.

"Three weeks of no word," Chrisitina snapped.

"I'm sorry Dr. Yang the Chief approved an emergency leave of absence," Annie replied.

"Why," Christina sneered.

"My father in law was hit by a car and has just been transferred to long term care here," Annie replied, "we nearly lost him a few times. I know I'm behind and I will catch up once I get my daughter back on her schedule.

"You will never be a cardio goddess if you keep dropping everything for your husband and daughter," Christina said, "you have so much potential you need to put your career first."

"Ellie is only 9 months," Annie said, "I will be a good surgeon but I need to put my family first. I know you want me to be my mother but we are different people. Dr. Yang I am doing everything I can the very best I can. I will get caught up on the research as soon as possible and the screening by the end of the week."

"Screening tomorrow," Chrisitna commanded.

"By Friday," Annie countered, "Josh is working overnight, I'm on my own with Ellie who is teething again and fussy. She's off her routine because we've been away and stressed."

"Thing one," Christina sighed, "you can't be mommy all the time. You are still you. I chose you as my fellow because you were driven. Then you had your daughter and it changed."

"My daughter isn't a year yet," Annie said, "I chose to take a step back to give her the best start possible. As she gets more independent I will do more. I am aware that I am not doing as much as I was before Ellie was born. I am going to pick and choose what extras I pick back up. I want to do the HLH work and focus on peds only."

"You were to be a second generation cardio goddess," Christina said.

"I will be," Annie said, "I'm 30. Were you one at 30? Was mama?"

"You've had one teaching you since you were 19," Christina said.

"I know that but right now my family has to come first," Annie replied, "mama supports me on that. I've already had this conversation with her. I will be a goddess when I am ready. Look at Dr. Grey, she has three kids on her own and is one of the most respected surgeons in the country if not the world. She didn't do it all at once out of her fellowship, give me the same time please. I will be excellent but my family comes first."

"You will be," Christina agreed, "I don't want you to throw away your talent and your gift for them. You still have to live for you."

"I do," Annie agreed, "but my priorities have changed. Ellie and Josh have to come first. I know it's not the path you chose but it's what's right for me. I will be excellent and I will get caught up on the work as soon as I can. If you'll excuse me I have a few patients to see."

"Of course," Christina replied, "remember you're mini Altman you have the skills. Being a cardio goddess is your birthright."

"I know," Annie replied, "I will do it my way Dr. Yang."

"I know you will thing one," Chrsitina replied, "now go see your patients."

"I'm going," Annie said.

As Annie walked down the hall she hear a voice behind her.

"Annie Altman," Jenna yelled, "I've been looking for you?"

"So," Annie asked, "what is it?"

Chris and Jenna exchanged glances before saying in unison, "it's a boy."

"A boy," Annie said, " I have a nephew?"

"You do," Jenna smiled.

"Congratulations," Annie said hugging both of them.

"I didn't know what it would be," Jenna said.

"Names," Annie asked.

"Last name because thats all you would tell us," Jenna teased.

"Last Name is," Annie asked.

"Silverstone - McKellar," Chris said, "keeping what the family here did with mom's last name first. Got to have some traditions."

"Our traditions," Annie agreed, "C you're a dad."

"Almost," Chris replied.

"Already are," Annie said, "but I really need to see my patients and do my surgeries before I meet Dan."

"Dan is pissing me off," Chris said.

"I thought we were giving up," Annie said, "then he talked to David and had some epiphany."

Owen finished his trauma meeting and sat down in the staff cafeteria for lunch with Teddy.

"I saw Annie," Owen said.

"And," Teddy asked,

"She's holding on by a thread," Owen said, "this thing with Dan has her on the edge."

"I know," Teddy said, "I'm hoping having Ian here helps and they can get in a routine of seeing him but not being there to do everything for him."

"She's putting a lot of pressure on herself," Owen said, "working, Ian, Ellie, Annie is Jenna and Chris's emotional support."

"She'll get through it," Teddy said, "let her work it through. Jenna and Chris have to lean on each other. It's our situation. Jenna and Chris have never lived together, new relationship, baby on the way. One of them moving countries so the baby can have both parents."

"But I had known you for years," Owen said.

"Exactly," Teddy said, "we had years of friendship to build on. They're starting from scratch. I knew your family, you knew Annie."

"As much as I love Annie that was almost the biggest adjustment," Owen said, "I was suddenly not just marrying you but a father to Annie in everything but name."

"She calls you dad now," Teddy smiled.

"I like it," Owen said.

"How are you feeling about being grandpa now," Teddy asked.

"It's okay," Owen said, "still makes me feel old somedays. I love Ellie. I had her in my office this morning and we played with a couple of her toys and she covered my desk in those rice puffs."

"The puffs," Teddy laughed, "those go everywhere."

"Annie told me off for letting Ellie eat on my desk and not using a plate," Owen said rolling his eyes.

"She's already teaching manners," Teddy laughed, "she says she won't have a rude child."

"We don't tolerate rudeness either," Owen said.

"And we're easy going compared to the McKellars," Teddy said, "she grew up with the whole meek and mild be a good girl thing. Quiet, unassuming, blend in, don't have an opinion.

At the end of a long work day Annie approached the conference room off Teddy's office. She knocked softly on the door. She really didn't feel like doing this but Dan was insistent.

"Annie," David smiled greeting her with a hug.

"Hey David," Annie replied, "we still need a new name for you. We're running out of grandpa themed ones. Dad as Grandpa, Dan is granddude, Ian is papa."

"Opa," David suggested, "it's what my brothers grand kids call him."

"I'll talk to the others," Annie smiled.

Dan coming down the hall realized that Annie was likely now calling Owen dad.

"When did you start calling Owen dad," Dan asked.

"It's whateverwhatever comes out half the time it's still uncle Owen. But I said it after Ellie was born and it just came out then but it feels right," Annie said.

"Why," Dan asked, "until Ellie, that was always my name."

"To your face," Annie said, "but you stopped being my dad when I went to med school. Dan you gave up on me."

"I did," Dan admitted.

"Let's have a seat," David suggested, "don't do this in the hallway. I brought coffee. Yes yours has milk and sugar Annie."

"Thank you," Annie smiled.

"Dan is black okay," David asked.

"It is," Dan replied.

David put the cups in front of them, "I'm here to listen. I'm not going to say anything unless the discussion becomes unproductive or you begin to attack each other. The two of you meet today, Dan you and Chris meet tomorrow then the three of you meet Sunday."

"Okay," Annie replied.

"I'd like Annie to go first," David said, "you are going to talk specifically about your relationship with Dan. not Leslie or Jessica. Concrete actions and words and how you feel."

"Where do I start," Annie said, "I don't have any idea what to say."

"Start when you moved to Boston," David prompted.

"Can I start the week before," Annie asked.

"Sure," David replied, "what happened."

"I was packing and really really excited to be going. Med school was something I had dreamed of since I was five. Jessica came into my room. I stupidly forgot to lock the basement door that's my fault. Jessica came down and began unpacking my bins. They had to be done that day because mama and Henry were picking them up the next day to ship because it was easier to ship them from Seattle than cloverdale."

"Annie who is Henry," David asked.

"Mama's first husband. They got married when I was 19 and Henry passed from complications of VhL, a tumor condition, when I was 21," Annie replied.

"Continue the story please," David prompted, "Annie how old were you?"

"I was still 20 this was in August and I would turn 21 in October. I was packing and Jessica was trying to unpack me; she didn't want me to go. We had words and she tried to hit me. I left my room but she grabbed the back of my dress and pulled me down so I hit my ribs on the stairs. Jessic then kicked me several times in the stomach. She told me that if I went to Boston I could never come back. That day Dan drove me to the hospital to get my ribs xrayed and check for internal bleeding because it was only a year after the incident."

"What's the incident," David asked.

"When Annie was 19 Jessica nearly beat her to death," Dan said.

"I lost half my liver, needed my spleen repaired and 10 units of blood," Annie said, "while I was in the hospital for that Dan and Leslie hardly visited as they also had to be involved in an evaluation of Jessica at BC children's hospital."

"Who was with you then," David asked.

"Mama and dad," Annie replied, "they stayed at the hospital with me the whole time. So did Chris. I wasn't alone but I didn't have the people I needed. I needed my parents and they weren't there. I felt abandoned. They chose me and they turned their backs on me. I was always the back up plan the second choice because I'm not really theirs. After the incident I went home with Mama to what's now my house but was hers then. I spent the rest of the summer recuperating there. Leslie and Dan never came down to see me. I was there a month and not once did they visit. But back on topic. The last time Jessica sent me to the emergency room I asked Dan if I went to boston if I would be able to come back, he told me I would be able to and I tried to believe him. So I finished out the week in Cloverdale, packed the last of my stuff and mama, Henry and I drove from Seattle to Boston. Dan and Leslie chose not to go to Boston because Jessica was jealous. So I went met my roommate for four years. David you know Steph, you christened her baby."

"Stephanie, read hair texan accent," David clarified.

"Yes her and I lived together for four years," Annie replied, "that thanksgiving I came home for the 10 day break and I needed it. Henry picked me up at the airport mama had a cardiac trauma. Leslie, Dan and Jessica came down for thanksgiving dinner at mama's house. It was okay for the most part because there were a lot of hospital people around and Jessica has always been intimidated by uncle Owen. I wend back to school did my final weeks of my first semester wrote final exams and came home for christmas. Mama, Henry and I went to Leslie and Dan's for Christmas on the 23rd as soon as my flight landed. We stayed until the 27th. On december 26th of that year Jessica stabbed me with a steak knife, that's the scar on my back. 35 stitches down my back and a tube of skin glue. Mama did the stitches on my bed."

"Why didn't you go to the hospital," David asked.

"Surgeon who was fully capable of doing it and the lines would have been brutal if we had to wait," Annie replied.

"They had to lock themselves in the basement," Dan added, "Jessica was violent and on a rampage. They wouldn't have been able to get Annie out safely and to a doctor. Her injuries would have been worse had they left. I sat guard outside the basement door all night. I was on one side sitting on the stairs, Chris was on the other side on the basement floor and Henry sat outside Annie's bedroom."

"Where was Teddy," David asked, "or Leslie?"

"Leslie was trying to calm Jessica," Dan said, "Teddy I'm not sure."

"On my bed with me," Annie replied, "she didn't sleep but she laid on my bed with me all night and held me while I cried."

"Your mother is incredibly doting with all of you," David said.

"At home," Annie agreed, "she's babied me a lot in the last year."

"You needed her," David said, "and Evelyn. Moms to guide you. But what happened after Jessica stabbed you?"

"The morning of the 27th we packed up my sentimental stuff and took it home with us to store the bins in the attic with mama's," Annie replied, "then we went to the cabin, skied, played in the snow, just had family cabin time."

"You like cabin time," David commented, "you relax up there. I showed Dan the cabin a few weeks ago at the conference."

"What did you think," Annie asked Dan.

"It's cozy," Dan agreed, "I can see why you like going. I liked all the pictures. Evelyn has ones of you and Chris at about 20."

"My first cabin trip I was 19," Annie said, "I'm on the rocks in the middle of the river in shorts and a blue rash guard. Mama and I went up with uncle Owen and Christina for a long weekend when I was ready to move around more after the surgery. We went tubing on the river."

"I saw that one," Dan smiled, "there's one from last Easter I really liked with you on a swing laughing."

"I was huge," Annie groaned, "you missed that phase. That was a good day. Dad and Josh took the littles swimming while mama and I had a lazy morning and packed a picnic. We had a picnic at the playground and I ended up on the swings with Ali and Leo. I didn't want to and I was uncomfortable but Allison made the eyes and I couldn't say no. i had been saying no a lot to her. So I played on the swings and Josh was pushing me and Ali it was fun."

"You look so carefree," Dan smiled, "and your wedding picture under those huge cedars."

"That wasn't posed," Annie said, "that was where we got married. We take a picnic out there every year on our anniversary just the two of us."

"Did you last year Ellie must have been weeks old," Dan said.

"Nine weeks," Annie replied, "just a couple hours, we left her and a couple bottles with mama and nana."

David asked, "Annie did Dan ever come visit you in medical school?"

"Never," Annie replied, "I invited, I begged but they never came. I was waiting to be invited back to Cloverdale but no one ever offered. My graduation was Mama, Chris and Uncle Nathan."

"Nathan" David asked.

"For Josh," Annie replied, "but we celebrated as a family the five of us."

"Dan why didn't you go," David asked.

"I never got the information," Dan said.

"I sent it to Leslie, I spoke to her many times," Annie replied.

"It never got to me," Dan said, "Annie had I known I would have been there. I didn't know you were in Seattle until your birthday that year. Chris asked if we had been down to see you."

"I told Leslie," Annie cried, "I thought you knew. I thought you chose not to see me."

Dan's eyes were full of tears, "no. Annie Bear I didn't get the information from the time you were 22 until Owen emailed me at work to tell me you were engaged. Nothing got through to me. I thought you didn't want anything to do with us anymore. I missed you. I was so hurt that you stopped reaching out. I missed you every day. The name change I understand and you're still my Annie bear in so many ways, you just grew up and I knew you would do that one day. I was wrong in not fighting harder. I waited everyday for your call or your email. I wanted you to reach out."

"I never stopped," Annie sobbed, "I thought you gave up on me that you didn't want me."

"Annie," Dan said, "I wanted you. Your mom and sister are both sick. They don't understand. I know you feel like I abandoned you and I'm sorry. I wish I would have seen it ten years ago. If I could go back I would do it completely differently. I'm sorry bear. I let others cloud my judgement. You're my baby bear, the little girl that couldn't stay still, who giggled the first time I put her on skis, and stood on 5 gallon pails to fillet fish when she was 5. You're the first one I talk about when people ask about my kids, you and Chris. My lifesavers. The first time I held you and you looked at me I knew you were different and special, my little girl. I miss our nights sitting in the garage with music on or old radio plays and talking about the meaning of them, you sitting in the back of the truck asking a million questions about everything. Can you try to forgive me and move forward?"

Annie nodded through the tears, "I'd like that."

"Can you call me dad again," Dan asked.

"Can we go with whatever comes out," Annie asked.

"Sure," Dan replied, "I'm retiring at the end of this year. Annie I'm 68 it's time for me to retire. I'm trying to figure out how to retire down here or at least be down here more. You and Josh, Chris, Jenna, Ellie, my grandson. That's the family I want to focus on. I want boat days with you and to teach my grandchildren to ski, fish and surf."

"Ellie hasn't been on a boat yet," Annie replied.

"This summer," Dan promised, "I've ordered an infant and a one year old sized life jacket. I need sizes for you and Josh, your life jacket expired years ago."

"And it was flamingo pink," Annie replied, "I don't wear that anymore."

"Dan, Annie," David said, "let's pick two things to focus on for the next couple months then around Ellie's birthday we can meet again. What's one thing each of you want?"

"I need total honesty," Annie said, "and completely open communication. My calls, texts and emails are answered the same day."

"I need you to let me in," Dan said, "more than just your day was good or you rocked a surgery. I want to know how you're feeling, I want you to ask about parenting. Include me in things. I would have come down to Portland to help out."

"We're still dealing with a lot for Ian," Annie said, "Dan he's 48 and will never walk again."

"I'll help how I can," Dan said, "what do you and Josh need?"

"Tonight," Annie said, "I need to take Ellie home, get groceries, do laundry and go to bed. I just want to sleep in my own bed."

"This weekend," Dan said, "I go back after dinner Sunday."

"Maybe we could go for a walk tomorrow or Sunday," Annie said.

"With Josh and Ellie," Dan asked.

"He's doing 36 hours and working overnight," Annie said, "Sunday would be better. Tomorrow he's going to want to sleep, be home and play with Ellie. She stands up holding on to furniture now."

"Let me know," Dan said, "I'm staying with Jenna and Chris."

"You'll need to find something close to us," Annie said, "their place is a 2 bedroom as well."

"I know," Dan said.

"I've really appreciated this," Annie said, "thanks for doing this David."

"Do you need to get Ellie," Dan asked.

"I do," Annie smiled, "she's going to want her dinner soon. It's time to take her home for some play time and dinner before a bath, story, feed and bed."

"Can I walk with you," Dan asked, "say hi to Ellie."

"Of course," Annie replied, "I'm going to go change first. I want out of my scrubs."

"Met you on the peds floor by the elevator," Dan asked. He had learned his way around the year before.

"Perfect," Annie said as she left the conference room. She quickly went to the locker room where she ran into Teddy.

"How did that go," Teddy asked.

"We worked some stuff out but have a really long way to go," Annie said, "but it was positive."

"Good," Teddy smiled.

"He's retiring down here if he can," Annie replied, "they're selling the house so he'll move between something here and Grandmere's basement. He wants to be around for Ellie and Chris's son."

"Jenna's having a boy," Teddy squealed.

"She is," Annie replied, "a new nephew."

"We haven't had a boy in a while," Teddy said.

"Leo, Faroke," Annie said.

"Then Ali, Ellie , Catrina," Teddy said, "balance it out."

"Dan wants to be around," Annie said, "take the kids boating. He wants to bring the boat down and take us all out. He's ordered baby and kids life jackets and needs Josh and my sizes."

"You loved the boat," Teddy said.

"I've missed it," Annie agreed, "I want Ellie to have those experiences."

"She should have them," Teddy agreed, "is this what you want sweetheart?"

"It is," Annie smiled, "but I need to get up to peds. Dan wants to say hi to Ellie and doesn't have permission to be in daycare or sign her out. We're not giving it to him until I'm 1000% sure he's really here for us."

"You have six alternates," Teddy said.

"Who live in Seattle and 4 work here," Annie replied.

"I'm glad today went well," Teddy said.

"So am I," Annie replied, "I had a weird conversation with Christina but I think she's just being her."

"I know she was going to talk to you," Teddy said, "and what about. Do what makes you happy. Annie focus on you and your family being happy and healthy."

"I will," Annie said, "see you tomorrow for our run."

"See you in the morning sweetheart," Teddy smiled.

Teddy was pleased Annie was willing to work it out with Dan. She knew that Annie had always wanted all four parents, this was a shot to have three of them. Three out of four was pretty good. Annie looked more relaxed than she had in Portland. Now that Ian was in Seattle and in rehab things would settle down.
