"I think I know what I'm doing," Patrick told her.

"But it's going to hemmorage," Spinelli spoke up. "You need to apply pressure or-"

"Look, intern, you've never been through this type of surgery, I doubt you know how to perform brain surgery," Patrick replied.

"Don't treat him like that!" Emily argued, "He's just helping, and I agree with him."

"Dude, you're going to botch this," Spinelli said. "Please, just listen."

Patrick sighed. "Fine, but if I lose this patient, it's on your heads."

Patrick applied pressure and found that it really was about to hemmorage. The rest of the surgery went smoothly after that point.

After they closed up, the three returned to the scrub room to scrub out. Emily took a seat on the bench in the room and took a deep breath. She could feel the baby kicking, but it was much sharper than it had been before.

Spinelli got some juice for Emily and brought it to her.

"You and the innocent one need some much needed vitamin C," Spinelli told her. "Thanks for standing up for me."

"You were right," Emily told him softly, taking a sip of the juice, "You should be thanking Patrick for taking your advice."

"I don't think that scored me points with the grumpy one," Spinelli said as he sat back. "Now I'm going to be the one who proved the great Dr. Drake was wrong."

"Well, I guess we're both outcasts then," Emily smiled, "I'm the one that tricked him into marrying me and getting me pregnant, at least that's what most of the nurses think in this place."

"You can't help if the Grumpy One lost his memory," Spinelli told her. "Besides, how many of us can say we found true love, even if was just for a little while?"

"I know, I'm lucky," Emily told him, "It's just... I get so scared about this baby and raising him or her alone..."

"You're not alone, Dr. Goddess," Spinelli assured her. "You've got a lot of friends in this town, and I can always look after the innocent one if you need someone."

"I appreciate that," Emily laughed, "Although I think Patrick might really panic if he finds out."

"Does the Grumpy One even care that he's an expectant father?" Spinelli asked. "It's weird considering how he's been treating you."

"I don't honestly know," Emily admitted, "My OB said he was asking questions about the pregnancy, but he doesn't ask me, which probably means he doesn't care too much. I'm not assuming he'll be any part of this baby's life."

"That sucks," Spinelli told her. "The innocent one deserves a father in his or her life. I know what it's like to not have a father around."

"Me too," Emily said, "Until I was 12, I didn't have a father in my life either. It's rough... but it's not like I'm just going to trick Patrick into fathering this baby."

"He'll come around," Spinelli assured her. "Once he sees that innocent little face smiling at him, he won't be able to resist. At least if he's a decent guy, he won't. I doubt he'll take one look at the kid, call it a miserable little bastard, then take off."

Spinelli turned away and whispered. "Like my dad did."

"What was that?" Emily asked, hearing him say something, "Spinelli, what happened with your father?"

"He- he wasn't a good guy," Spinelli told her. "He was abusive and controlling. And that when he was home, which wasn't often. When I got old enough I started getting him mad enough to beat on me so he'd leave Mom alone. She died when I was twelve, and that's when Dad left and I never saw him again. Just left me home by myself with no money or food one day. Luckily my Grammy took me in when she heard I had no one."

"That's awful," Emily sighed, putting a hand on Spinelli's shoulder, "It must have been really hard for you. We lost our mothers at around the same time."

"Yeah, well, at least I don't have to deal with him anymore," Spinelli told her. "My Grammy made sure I was raised right. She's the one who insisted I become a doctor, to help others."

"She sounds like a great lady," Emily smiled, standing up and getting ready to head back on rounds, "You're lucky you have her."

"Yeah," Spinelli replied. "I guess I am. She's a good woman. I'd probably be a felon or something without her."

"Stick with medicine," Emily told him as they walked out to the nurses station. The first person she saw was Patrick, who was still brooding from the operating room.

"You're showing a lot of promise."
