Will went to ICU to check on Don and found that he wouldn't be allowed inside until later, but the nurses explained that he was doing better and if he'd come back later, they'd let him see Don for a couple of minutes. Will thanked them and walked back to Sloan's room.

He knocked on her door and when she said, "come in," he pushed the door open.

"You up for some company?"

"From you, any time. How'd things go with Jane?"

"About as well as could be expected. Mac's sitting with her right now. I went to check on Don."

"How is he," she interrupted.

"I didn't get to see him, but the nurses said he was doing better and I'll be able to see him later today. They limit the visitors and the amount of time you can visit. I didn't see any family around, though."

"Here are mainly cousins and really none that he's close to but you will know when the family from Boston has arrived."

"Have you met them?"

Sloan nodded.

"You guys are getting pretty serious then."

"We're getting there," she said smiling.

"Good for you," he said smiling.

"Are you okay?"

"Getting there."

"And Mac?"

"She says she's okay."

"You know she just says that, though, right?" Sloan asked.

He smiled and nodded. "I'm keeping an eye on her."

"Have you found out the sex of the baby, yet?"

"We tried, but it wasn't cooperating and wouldn't turn so we could tell."

"Do you have a feeling, either way?" she asked.

"No, Mac might, though. She thought she was carrying boys last time."

They chatted until Sloan yawned. "I'm sorry, Will."

"No, don't worry, you rest some and I'll come see you later," he said and kissed her cheek. "Let me know if you need anything," Will said as he left her room.

Jane had just woken up. "Hi," Mac said.

"Mac."

"You want some ice chips? The nurse said you could have some."

Jane nodded. Mac gave her a couple of pieces of ice. "Let's see how that works, okay?"

Mac sat up on the side of the bed and held her hand. "How are you feeling?"

"Hurt, all over."

"I'm sure. May I do anything?"

Jane shook her head.

"Marc has been by a couple of times to check on you," Mac said smiling at her.

Jane returned her smile. "He's a good friend."

"I'm sure," Mac teased.

There was a soft knock on the door and Mac got up to see who had come to visit. When she opened the door it was Michael.

"Hi, Mac," he said and hugged her. "How's our patient doing today?"

"She just woke up, come say hello," she said taking his hand.

"Hey, sweetie," Michael said next to the bed. He leaned down and kissed her cheek. "I'm so sorry."

Jane nodded.

"I'll sit with her for a while, if you want, Mac. Will is in the hallway."

"Thank you. Jane, I'm going to go check on Will and I'll be back later," she said kissing her temple.

Jane looked as if she was about to fall asleep again. Michael walked Mac to the door and hugged her. "Are you all right?" he asked.

"It's been an emotional day," she replied.

"Go see Will and take a break for a while. I'll be here. I do need to talk to you and Will at some point today."

"I'll make sure that happens, thanks, Michael."

Mac found Will at the end of the hallway staring out a window. She wasn't sure if he was aware of her approach or not. She placed one hand on his lower back and the other around his waist. "Are you okay?"

"It's been a tough morning."

"I agree. How's Don?"

"I wasn't able to see him, but the nurses said he was doing better and that if I'd come back this afternoon I could see him. I've been with Sloan."

"How is she doing?"

"Worried about Don and Jane."

Will looked very stressed. "Can we go for a walk," she asked.

"Sure," he said, looking at her. "Are you okay?"

She nodded and took his hand. They walked to the garden area of the hospital that Jane had first shown her when she found out she was pregnant with the twins.

"I didn't know this was here, it's so peaceful."

"It's really a nice place for the staff and patients. This is where I found out I was pregnant with the boys. I was freaking out and Jane brought me out here. She likes to eat lunch out here."

Will was worried about Mac. She was being strong for everyone, but she was in the cafeteria too and she witnessed Sam shooting himself. "Are you doing okay?"

She nodded. He could tell she didn't want to talk about anything that happened yesterday.

"It's okay, you don't have to talk about it if you don't want to, Mac."

"Thanks."

They spent about an hour in the garden, not really talking but just being together. When they got back to Jane's room Michael was in the hallway, sitting on a bench.

"She's asleep. Her doctor came by to check on her."

"Any update?" Will asked.

"The same as before. Can we talk for a few minutes about the remodel?"

"Sure," Mac said.

"It's complete."

"It's done?" Will asked.

"Yes, everything is done. We need to do a walk-through to see if there's anything you want to change, but anything that is going to need to be done at this point can be done with you all there."

"Has the furniture been brought back?" Mac asked.

"It's coming today. We need to figure out what needs to go where and the new furniture is being delivered today, too. Once we have some time we'll go figure out what you want where and I'll have some guys that can move furniture meet us to finalize the project."

"Thank you," Mac said, kissing his cheek.

"You're welcome. It was a great project to work on."

"Thank you, Michael. I can't wait to see the final product."

"You're welcome. You should be able to move out of the hotel soon."

"Not soon enough," Will said. "I'm ready to live in our own space again and I'm sure everyone else is, too."

"We need to let Kate know to start packing up," Mac said.

"I'll give her a call and let her know," Will said.

The next few days passed with Mac and Will spending the majority of their time at the hospital going between Jane, Sloan and Don's rooms. Everyone was progressively getting better. Sloan was to be released and she was going home to her family to recuperate. Don was now in a regular room and Jane was still recuperating. Marc thought that she would be released in the next week to ten days. It had been decided that she would come to stay with Will, Mac and Kate once she was released.

Will was at the studio while Mac was spending the morning with Michael at the apartment. They were going to try to arrange furniture. When she got off the elevator she was blown away with the changes. "Michael, this looks fabulous. I can't believe it's the same apartment."

"Thank you," he said hugging her. "Are you ready to arrange furniture?"

"I will try my best, but this isn't my forte, just warning you."

Michael gave her the tour of the new apartment. "There is so much space now," she said.

"Space you will use faster than you realize."

"I'm sure," she said rubbing the baby.

"Is the baby kicking?"

"Yes. Would you like to feel?" she asked.

"May I?"

She smiled at him and took his hand and placed it where the baby was currently kicking.

"Wow," he said smiling at her. "Was the doctor able to tell the sex yesterday?"

"No, still not cooperating. We may stop trying to find out at this point, we've not fully decided, yet."

"I know it's easier to set up a nursery, but I'd think the surprise might be nice, too."

"That's true."

"Come on, lets decorate your new home," he said offering her his arm. They went room by room and decided what furniture would go where. Michael had decided to have the movers come after he and Mac had gone through the apartment making decisions and he'd show them what went where.

"Thank you for doing this, Michael. This was a great help."

"My pleasure. We'll have all the furniture placed this afternoon and you all can move back when you're ready."

"Kate's gotten us all packed and she is going to get us moved back here tomorrow. I'm not sure how we'd do this without you and Kate. You've both been so helpful, thank you," she said hugging him.

"You're welcome."

"I've got to get to the studio and make sure we have a show for tonight. You'll be okay here with the movers and getting everything settled?"

"I'll take care of it, Mac."

"Okay, I'll see you later."

"Mac are you all right," he asked, not sure if he was overstepping or not.

She turned back to him and didn't say anything at first. "You are taking care of everyone else and moving on. I know how things can fester if you don't deal with them."

"I'm fine, Michael, I am."

"Okay. I'm here if you want to talk, okay?"

She smiled at him and hugged him before leaving the apartment.

Will and Mac went straight to the hotel after the show to finish up the final last minute packing. The movers were to be at the hotel first thing and they'd get everything loaded and Lonny would be there to take Kate and the boys so she could meet the movers.

"I can't wait to be back in our own space," Kate said. "I never thought I'd get tired of being in a hotel, let alone one as nice as here, but I'm ready to go."

"I'm with you," Mac said. "Do you want any help in the morning. Will or I can be late and help at least get the boys to the apartment."

"If you, or Will could take the boys, I could stay here and make sure everything gets picked up. Then when they are ready to go I could get a cab, or maybe Lonny could pick me up and I'd be at the apartment to tell them what goes where," Kate explained.

"How about Lonny and I take the boys and all of their things that we are going to need immediately. We can drop Will off and then once we're settled, Lonny can come get you and by that time the movers should have packed up everything."

"You don't mind?"

"Not at all," Mac said. "I'm as anxious as you are to get home."

"Have we heard when Jane is going to be released?"

"I spoke with Marc yesterday and he was thinking another three or four days. He wants her to recover more before leaving."

"He seems really nice," Kate said.

Mac nodded, "he really is."

Will brought another box out of their bedroom and put it in the pile for the movers. "Did we move this much stuff here?" he asked.

"If we did, I don't know what we were thinking," Mac replied with a smile. "We've got a plan for tomorrow."

"Okay, what's that?"

Mac explained the logistics to him and he agreed. He was secretly happy that he was going to get to go to the office instead of having to deal with the movers. "Anything you want Lonny to move needs to be in a separate pile that he can come back for after the movers are done here. We'll come back and do a final walk-through to make sure we've not forgotten anything."

Mac, Will thought, could organize anything. There was a reason she was the best EP in the business.

The next day Mac's plan was executed flawlessly. The movers showed up on time, Will got dropped off and Mac and the boys were currently in the new apartment getting settled in. She'd checked their room and their cribs were set up just as she'd asked and there were even fresh sheets on the mattress. That part was all Michael, she knew. She got the boys into their cribs and unpacked their items that they'd brought with them from the hotel.

Lonny was waiting for the movers and showed them where to put the boxes as they brought them in. Once everything had been unloaded Lonny went back to the hotel for both Kate and the personal items he was going to move for the family. By the time he got Kate back to the apartment Mac was ready to go to the studio. It had been a hectic morning, but they were well on their way to being back in their own space.

When Mac arrived at the studio she walked into her office and there was a bouquet of fresh flowers. The note simply said, "I love you."

She walked to Will's office and said, "thank you for the flowers, they're gorgeous."

"You're welcome. Did everything go okay?"

Mac made a noise and rubbed her side. "Mac," he said coming to stand in front of her. "Are you all right?"

"A really strong kick. Your child is really kicking."

Will placed his hand where she was rubbing and felt the kick himself. "Wow, that is strong. Are we going to try to tell the sex again, or do we want to wait?"

"I'd like to try one more time and if we can't tell then, let's wait. What do you think?"

"That's fair. What do you think it is?"

"I think a boy."

"Why do you think that?"

"The way I've felt with this pregnancy is like the previous one and just a gut feeling."

"When is the next appointment, end of next week?"

"It is. You're sure you're okay with this one last look?"

"I am," he said.

"Okay, I've got to get ready for a meeting. Have you talked to Sloan or Don or Jane?"

"Sloan is feeling better. Her family is driving her crazy and all she wants is to see Don."

"They will end up engaged very soon."

"She told me that she's met his family," Will said.

"Nothing from Jane?"

Will shook his head. He was worried about Jane, both physically and emotionally. "I might try to run up there and see her this afternoon."

"That's a good idea. I'll see you soon," she said kissing him and walked out the door.

When Will knocked on Jane's door he heard Marc inside. Marc opened the door for Will and said, "hello."

Will shook his hand and then kissed Jane. Marc excused himself and explained that he would be back later.

"How are you?" Will asked.

"Not great, but okay. I'm talking to a therapist this afternoon."

"That's a good idea. I can't get Mac to talk about anything that happened. That day she talked a little but nothing since then. Even Michael tried and she won't talk."

"It may take time, Will. You've got to wait her out. She's not going to talk if she doesn't want to. This is Mac we're talking about."

"I'm concerned. The stress isn't good for her."

"Is she having any problems like last time?"

"No, she's not and there aren't any indications that she will. Some of last time was because she was carry twins."

Will and Jane chatted until it was time for her appointment with the therapist.

Will brought dinner back with him when he returned from seeing Jane and Don, which they ate in his office, talking over the night's show. Will kept watching Mac. Something was off and he wasn't sure what that was and most likely Mac wasn't going to tell him anything.

"What?" Mac finally said. He'd been caught watching her.

"Are you all right?"

"Yes."

"Okay. You know you can tell me anything."

Mac got up and started pacing in his office. Will continued to watch her.

"I'm fine," she said rubbing the baby.

Things were going to come to a head very shortly Will knew, he just hoped they were at home when it happened.

"Are we good with tonight's show?"

Mac nodded. "I'll see you later," she said walking out of his office. "Thanks for dinner."

He didn't see her again until just before the show. He walked into the control room to ask her a question about the show and she was sitting quietly by herself, going over her notes.

"Mac," he said leaning down next to her.

"I'm sorry, I didn't hear you come in. What's up?"

"Look at this," he handed her a wire story that mentioned something they were covering.

"Let me watch it to see if anything comes of the story by the time we get to it, I don't think it will."

He smiled at her. "Okay, thanks. Good show," he said walking back to the anchor desk.

"Good show," she replied. She knew he was worried about her.

Mac was correct, nothing came of the story and their cover went on as normal. After the show Will changed and Mac was waiting in his office. "I'm excited we get to actually go home," Will said.

"Me, too. Kate said the boys were fussy today and unsettled."

"They are more aware of what they would consider their normal surroundings now and that abruptly changed today."

"They're growing so fast. I want to spend the weekend, just us at home."

"That sounds nice. We'll make that happen, Mac."
