Jackson sits in his daughter's hospital room waiting for April to return from the car with Flopsy, as she had forgotten to grab the stuffed bunny when they came in this morning. He looks over to his daughter in the hospital bed and up to the clock on the wall, not long now until Karev would be in. Jackson gets up from his seat and grabs the hair net from the table by Harriet's bed walking over to help her put it on. "How are you doing bug?" he asks "not long now until Uncle Alex comes to get you."

Harriet looks up from the ipad she's been playing games on. "How long dad?" she asks hesitantly. She's been so preoccupied with her games she didn't even notice the time go by.

"Probably in the next 10 minutes or so." Jackson responds as he sits on the bed in front of her, moving the ipad out of the way and slipping the hair net onto Harriet's head.

"I didn't think it was so soon." she answers honestly "Dad….I'm really scared. I love Uncle Alex but I've never had surgery before and I'm scared and...and...you're a throat doctor can't you just do it. Please?" Harriet finishes in a rushed whisper.

"Hattie, there's no need to be scared, I promise. Daddies cant operate on their daughters plus Uncle Alex is really good at his job and I trust him more than I trust myself to do this. I am a throat doctor but I haven't done a tonsillectomy in awhile and Uncle Alex has to do them lots, and he works especially with kids so he's a pro at this!" Jackson tries to reassure her as April walks in with Flopsy in hand.

"How are we doing in here?" April asks as she comes over handing Harriet her bunny and standing behind Jackson resting her hand on his shoulders.

"Hattie's nervous, I'm just explaining about why I can't do her surgery and why Alex is a better choice any way." Jackson explains.

"Oh bug, you'll be fine, it's really quick, just like taking a nap and before you know it you'll be back with daddy and I. Plus we got all your favourite popsicles for after remember." April tries to help calm her daughter's nerves.

April walks to the other side of the bed and snuggles in beside her daughter, Harriet resting her head on April's shoulder when they all hear a knock on the door and turn to see Alex standing in the doorway. "We're all set Hattie, you ready to go?" Alex asks Harriet as he takes a step into the room

Harriet just looks at her dad with pleading puppy dogs eyes.

Jackson sighs softly because he knows his daughter has him wrapped around her finger. "Give me a second I have an idea." he says as he squeezes Harriet's foot before getting up and walking over to Karev. After talking with him for a minute and explaining the situation Alex and Jackson agree on a plan that will hopefully alleviate some of Harriet's anxiety.

"Alright bug, Uncle Alex has agreed that I can come down with you until you're asleep but then we have to let him work his magic. Sound like a plan?"

"Ya, ok." Harriet agrees quietly nodding, Alex giving her a wink as he comes over to get her ready to move.

April gets up cupping Harriet's face in her hands "See you soon bug, I love you so so much." she says as she kisses the top of Harriet's head.

Jackson moves to the other side of the bed grabbing Harriet's hand in one hand and helping Alex to push the bed with the other. "I'll meet you in the cafeteria." he says to April as they start to walk out of the room and down the hall.

Harriet looks over to Jackson as they get close to the OR. "Thanks daddy, I'm not as scared now, I love you." she says

"You know I'll always be there for you bug. Thanks for being so brave, I know this is scary but it'll be over before you know it. I love you too."

Alex stops to scrub in as Jackson puts on the sterile attire needed to enter the OR and pushes the bed with Harriet on it inside.

Jackson put the breaks on the gurney and picks up Harriet causing her to cling to his neck and burry her face in his shoulder. "You're ok, sweetpea" he whispers to her while rubbing her back gently in circles, walking towards the table in the middle of the room. Setting Harriet down on the table he explains "Hey this is actually pretty cool, getting to see the place that's like daddy's second office in the hospital."

Alex walks in and helps Bokhee to attach the monitors needed while Jackson takes the anesthesia mask from the anesthesiologist.

Seeing the fear still lingering on his daughter's face, Jackson shows Harriet the mask "this is how you're going to take a nap sweetpea. I'm going to put it over your nose and mouth and you just takes some deep breaths and before you know it you'll wake up and mommy and I will be there."

"Okay…" Harriet says in a small voice clutching her bunny to her chest.

Alex grabs Harriet's hand in his and Jackson puts the mask on her using one hand to hold it on and using his thumb on the other to stroke Harriet's forehead in gentle reassurance. "I'm so proud of you bug, sleep tight, I love you." Jackson whispers as he watches his daughter drift off to sleep. Teary eyed, Jackson quickly moves out of the way taking Flopsy with him and heading out to meet April in the cafeteria.
