"Yang is going solo on a valve replacement today," Jackson complains to Ivy.

Ivy doesn't look up from the chart she is filling out, "Oh, yeah? Sounds like Altman trusts her."

Jackson paces in front of her, "Does she trust her more than me? Why didn't she ask me to scrub in? Does she think that I don't belong in Cardio?"

"Can we stop with this? Jackson, look at me. Everyone at the hospital knows, Cristina is hard-core Cardio. She doesn't look at anything else, that is her baby. Altman is testing her. So stop worrying, your time will come. Now, I'm on Robbins service, so see you later," Ivy calms him down before heading off to try and find Robbins.

Ivy is sitting with Derek as he fills out a chart when Mark walks in with Addison. She has to do a double take.

"What?"

"Oh, hey! Look whos here."

"Addison!"

"Did you get lost on the freeway?"

Ivy gives her a hug. Its been forever since they've seen each other. They use to talk on the phone all the time but its been awhile.

"What are you doing here?"

"Sloans got a little something going on with the baby," Mark explains.

Bailey looks at him, "Oh, is she okay?"

"We'll figure it out. Ivy, can I use you as a resident?" Addison asks her.

Ivy looks at Bailey, "Um, I would have to check with Robbins but I'll let you know."

Ivy heads off to find Robbins and finds her on the bridge.

"Hey, Dr. Robbins, quick question."

Robbins looks up, "Yeah, shoot."

"So Sloan has something going on with her baby so Mark, I mean, Dr. Sloan flew Dr. Addison Montgomery out to take a look, and she has asked to use me. I just wanted to know if that was okay with you?" Ivy says in one breath.

"Yeah, for sure. Um, I was just on my way up there so come find us once you get me a resident," Robbins agrees.

Ivy nods, already running off, "of course. I will send you whoever is available. Thank you Dr. Robbins."

After finding Dr. Robbins a resident, she slips into Sloans room, "-we can rehabilitate the remaining part of his leg after he's born, and we can fit him with a prosthesis. Its entirely possible that he'll walk."

"Oh, my God," Sloan breaths.

Mark tries to console her, "Honey, we've got options here. If we operate, Dr. Montgomery can remove the bands, he'll be just fine. Or we can wait a few weeks till he's bigger and stronger, and we know the surgery is less risky."

"Well, which one of you did he sleep with?" Addison and Ivy turn to look at Mark in disbelief.

Arizona smugly smiles, "Oh, not me."

Ivy also, quickly, denies, "Never in a million years."

"You told her?" Addison asks.

Mark tries to justify it, "She's my kid. We were bonding."

"That is not how you bond with children."

"I'm still getting the hang of it. Come on, Ivy, back me up," he says.

Ivy holds her hands up, "Please leave me out of this. For me its a lose-lose sitiation."

"So you're sure that he didn't, like, knock you up and leave you with a child to raise on your own or something?" Sloan asks.

Its taking everything in her power for Ivy to not laugh, "Wh-"

"You're not like really pissed and you're trying to get revenge?" Sloan double checks.

Addison kind of chuckles, "No. No. It-it was a long time ago, okay? The fact is, Mark, your father- is-is a good guy, and I think you're a good kid, and I'm gonna do everything I can to help you with your baby."

"Okay, well, lets just get these things off his legs right now." Sloan gives permission.

Addison quickly leaves, Ivy following behind her, "I'll book an O.R."

"Oh I've missed having everyone together," Ivy jokes.

"Oh shut up."

Ivy is in the residents locker room when Reed comes in and starts ranting, "Grey is going to ruin my chance to scrub in on a surgery. This isn't good. This isn't good."

"Back it up. Why is Meredith going to ruin your chances?" Ivy asks, not looking up from her article.

Reed huffs, "Remember that we have already established the fact that I'm stupid. But I told Alex that if he got me the chance to scrub in on one of Torres' surgeries I would take him out for drinks and then you know. Grey heard me talking to Charlie after about how I was just joking. Shes going to tell Alex and there goes my chance."

"What have I said about selling your body for surgeries?"

"Its not a good idea. But come on- wait, amniotic tissue? I thought you were on Peds?" Reed asks.

Ivy looks up, "Oh, I was but Sloan has a problem with her baby so Mark flew Addison up here and she requested me. I have surgery in like an hour, I'm just reading up on it."

"I kind of hate you right now."

Ivy snorts, "Yeah, well, who else is going to help you figure out the mess you just got yourself into."

Reed pouts, "Maybe I'll ask Jackson for help."

They sit in silence for a second, then burst out laughing.

Ivy stands opposite of Addison as they start the surgery on Sloan and her baby. Mark is standing behind Addison, looking over her shoulder.

"Okay, got the first band. Lets move down so I can take a look at the second."

Ivy double checks, "Like that?"

"Good. Why can't I grab his leg?" Addison says outloud.

Mark is already feeling over protective, "Problem?"

"No, its just one of the bands is holding the leg in place, making it a little difficult to get around. Can you move the ultrasound up here? Oh come on," She directs Ivy.

"Whats the matter?" Mark asks.

Addison shakes her head, "Her uterine arteries are engorged. But the only way in is in between them. Okay, I'm going to need another trocar. You want to hold this?" She asks Ivy, handing it over.

"Are you sure you have enough room? Those arteries are huge," Mark comments.

Addison reassures him, "Thats why I'm gonna be very, very careful. Scalpel."

"What happens if you nick them?" Mark questions.

"Dr. Shepherd?"

Ivy looks at Mark, "There is the possibility that she could been out. They both could."

"I don't like it. Its too dangerous."

"Mark, I have assessed the risk factors. I'm 95% confident I can get around the arteries. I'm choosing to continue my surgery."

Ivy looks back and forth between them like its an intense tennis match.

"And I don't like the other 5%. You hit anyone of those, she bleeds out right on this table."

"Look, you're nervous, I get that," Addison tries to placate him.

Mark doesn't back down, "I'm a surgeon, and I'm looking at a time bomb in a uterus. Shut it down. Now Addison."

Ivy looks and Addison as she waits. Waiting for her call.

Addison agrees, "Lets close her up."

Ivy stands outside the scrub room, waiting for Mark and Addison to be done arguing. Addison comes out and they walk to change. Once they are changed, they go sit on a bench outside the hospital. Ivy lays her head on Addison's shoulder.

"You know, when you guys were starting your intern and residency years, I use to dream of bring in the O.R. with you guys. Turns out, dreams are a lot better than reality," She jokes.

Addison laughs, "Yeah, its not usually like that. We usually get along in the O.R. it just was difficult because it was his daughter."

"Oh, well. It was nice having you here, even if it was only for a day. We should talk more," Ivy says.

"Ivy!" She hears Reed call for her.

She looks towards her, seeing Reed with Jackson and Charles, "Come on, you are going to meet my friends and then you are going to catch a plane back to L.A."

Ivy drags Addison over to the group, "Addison, this is Dr. Jackson Avery, Dr. Charles Percy, and my roommate and best friend Dr. Reed Adamson. Guys, this is Dr. Addison Montgomery, OB surgeon and my former sister-in-law."

They all wave in greeting, "Nice to meet you all, um, I have a plane to catch. Call me more and keep me updated with the whole Sloan thing." She hugs Ivy goodbye and waves to the others.

"Did you figure out your problems?" Ivy asks the group, mostly Reed.

They mockingly say, "Yes mom."

Ivy coos at them, "Good job children. Now let's get home because Mark cut my surgery short and all I wanna do is sleep."
