-Did Richard accept the cookies?- I approached Jackson.
-No- he sighed.
-You've got to understand him, baby- I caressed his face- his wife died a month ago.
-I know- he nodded- are you ready for the ultrasound?
-Yes- I smiled widely- you think is a boy or a girl?
-Um, I don't know- he raised his eyebrows- whatever it is, little person kicks like a soccer player.
-Tell me about it- I rolled my eyes- we've got James' surgery today, I'll...- I shut up when my phone started to ring- oh, it's the lawyer, they need us at the court house.

-Hey, Jackson, you want to change James surgical plan?- I approached him and he sighed- he's my patient too. You should have told me about it. It's a much riskier procedure and I think you should stick with Mark's plan.
-Cora...
-Mark knew James, Jackson- I interrupted him- and you're just...
-I'm just what?- he frowned and I could tell he was pissed- I'm doing the procedure Sloan's way.
-Oh, great- I smiled a little- sorry.
