Bailey and the five interns were all gathered in the locker room. Bailey had that usual don't-piss-me-off-today-because-I'm-not-in-a-good-mood look. She eyed all of interns. And George was the one who looked most awkward and scared.
"Anything you wanna say O'Malley?" She spoke grumpily.
"No maam. No." Shaking his head vigorously.
Alex on the other hand smirked. He loved it when Bailey targeted George.
"And what the hell are you smirking about?" Bailey continued her annoyed rant.
Alex straightened up. "Nothing".
"That's what I thought so."
The interns looked around shifting nervously. There was an eerie silence amongst them.
"O'Malley" Bailey scared all of the interns with the announcement.
"You're in the pit today. Grey, you're with Burke. Yang, Shepherd, and Karev and Stevens you're both in Gynie Duty today."
Just great. Alex sarcastically thought.

"Who's presenting?" Addison eyed both of the interns.
Alex began. "Michelle Johnson, 35 weeks pregnant. Presented last night with some minor headache, and Braxton-Hicks contractions. Vitals have been stable overnight. Pulse Ox rate is normal. No dysrythmia. EKG shows normal sinus rhythm. And no eskemia." Alex finished his medical drabble and smiled at the patient.
"You didn't tell us what the baby's condition was Dr. Karev" Addison stated.
"Oh. Right." He sighed. It wasn't easy telling a mother that their unborn child had a possibility of dying.
He continues. "Well, the baby has a large mass on the sternomastoid muscle that caused a build up of fluid, which causes it to obstruct the airway and the thoracic area of the spine. And we're gonna have to perform a myotomy to remove the mass from the sternomastoid muscle and perform a c-section right after the build up of fluid is gone."
The patient looks frightened. "That's a lot of medical drabble. Can I get it in English please?"
Addison smiled at the patient. "It means that there is a mass growing on the baby's neck and upper spine that's blocking the baby's airway and causing it to have a buildup of fluid inside the fetus. If we don't operate soon, the baby might have a 20 chance of living. That's why we're going to perform a myotomy to remove the mass. After we remove it, I'll have to the baby out as soon as possible"
"What? My baby's gonna be fine right? I mean I don't care how much it costs me, my baby's gonna be fine?" Michelle asked anxiously.
Izzie smiled sympathetically. She hated facing the fact that an unborn child might be dead because of one mistake a surgeon might make. "Dr. Montgomery here is the best. You're in excellent hands. We're going to do absolutely everything we can to save the baby."

Addison, Alex, and Izzie are all in the OR performing the surgery on Michelle. They are done removing the mass from the baby's neck. Then, suddenly, Addison's pager goes off.
The nurse approached her. "Dr. Montgomery, you have a 911 page from a nurse. It says here they're in labor right now an you're the only Neo-Natal surgery on call."
Addison cursed under her breath. "Dammit. Karev, you've performed a C-section before right?"
Alex nodded.
"Care to do it again?"
"Seriously?"
Addison nodded. "It's now or never"
Alex agreed. And Addison walks out of the OR. "We ready?" Izzie nods at him. "Ten blade."
The nurse hands him the scalpel as he makes a straight incision down the uterus. About 5 seconds later the baby is out. The nurse hands him a towel and he wraps the baby around it. He hands it to Izzie and she rushes the baby girl to an incubator.
"Nice work doctor." The Nurse Debbie said.
