"Helping you.. procreate?" Lulu asked nervously.


"Yes," Emma said, pulling her robe closed tightly, "And you are?"

Spinelli spit out his drink. "NO! No, the Jackal meant to help him babysit the innocent ones."


"Aaron Snyder," Aaron told her. "I've been... waiting for a long time for this, ma'am."

Lulu started to breathe again. "Oh, thank God... yeah, I can babysit with you anytime."


"Ma'am?" Emma questioned, "I'm sorry, I don't know who you are."

"Cool," Spinelli told her. "The good doctor's supposed to be bringing the second half of the brothers Webber home tonight, so I suspect we'll be called to duty within the next 24 hours."


"I-," Aaron started. "It's a long story. Last year, I was involved in a bad accident and it caused some extensive damage to my heart. I was on a donor's list, and was waiting to die when... One night a donor became available. A man named Andy Barclay saved my life by giving me his heart."

"Well, if I can pass my exams tonight, then you're on," Lulu told him, "I'm so close to being a real nurse, I just have to get through these last few classes."


Emma's mouth dropped open. She couldn't believe that the man in front of her had her brother's heart.

"Andy is-was my brother."

"Good luck to you," Spinelli told her. "I'm going to be taking my exams soon. I'm going to be head of pediatrics someday."


"I'd heard about what happened to him, and I wanted to tell you how grateful I am," Aaron told her.

"Really?" Lulu asked, "That's awesome. That's the department I want to work in."


Emma felt tears in her eyes. "Andy would have wanted to help."

"Ever since the night I delivered these babies, I realized that the Jackal's true calling lays in helping children," Spinelli told her as he looked over at Andy.


Aaron looked at her. "Your brother must have been an amazing guy. I'm sorry he died."

"You'll have your work cut out for you," Lulu told him, "There's only one residency open in pediatrics, and I've heard Emily wants it."


"I miss him everyday," Emma told him, standing back and showing him in, "Would you like some coffee or something?"

"As much as the Jackal respects her, I need this residency," Spinelli told her. "If I don't get it, I'll have to wait until next year, and by then I'll be behind."

"Then go for it," Lulu encouraged him, "You are a great doctor. You proved that last week."

Spinelli blushed a little. "The Jackal wishes to thank you for your words of encouragement. Perhaps by paying for your meal?"


"That'd be great," Aaron told her as he came in. "I- know this must be hard. I don't mean to bring up painful memories. I just wanted to meet Andy's family and thank them."

"That would be awesome," Lulu smiled, handing him her bill.


"Well, I'm all the family he had," Emma said, "And I am not exactly worthy of that title."

Spinelli paid the bill and saw Andy was starting to wake up. "Uh oh, I think the tiny one is going to be hungry."


"Why do you say that?" Aaron asked as he looked at her.

"Do you have formula here for him?" Lulu asked, "Or is Emma breast feeding?"


"I don't know," Emma told him, handing him a cup of coffee, "I guess if you knew Andy, you'd understand. He was amazing. He deserved a lot more than he had."

"Oh, I brought formula," Spinelli told her as he dug through the bag for a bottle.


"I know this must be hard," Aaron told her as he took a drink. "I feel like a whole new person now."

"Good," Lulu said, "And you know how to mix it?"


"Heart problems are difficult," Emma commented, "One of my close friends had heart surgery a few times."

"Mix it?" Spinelli asked, a little confused.


"The doctors said I need to have regular checkups, but other than that, they said I should live a long life," Aaron told her. "They said Andy's heart is one of the strongest they'd ever seen."

"Formula... you have to mix it with water. Have you ever fed a baby before?" Lulu asked skeptically.


"He was amazing," Emma started with tears in her eyes, "I miss him ever second of every day."

"Well... no," Spinelli told her. "I've only delivered babies at this point."


Aaron gave her a shoulder to cry on. "I'm so sorry you lost him. I couldn't imagine losing my brothers."

"Okay, give me the baby," Lulu told him, "You're going to get your first lesson right now."


"Tell me about them," Emma said, trying to calm herself down.

Spinelli picked Andy up and carefully handed him to Lulu.


"My brother Luke lives here in Westland," Aaron told her. "He's a great guy. Got two kids of his own. And I have a little brother named Ethan who just turned three. He's getting to be so big."

Lulu took Andy in her arms and smiled at the little boy.

"There are instructions on the can of formula," she instructed Spinelli, "Just follow them and then put some of the milk on your wrist and taste it to see if it's a safe temperature."


"I just had two little boys," Emma told him, "Last week. Twins... and I have no idea how I'm going to raise them."

Spinelli followed the instructions on the can and tested it on his wrist before handing Lulu the bottle.


"Twins? That sounds like a handful," Aaron told her. "But I'm sure you can handle it. The father's around, isn't he?"

"Look at you, Mr. Mom," Lulu joked, "You're getting the hang of it already.

She gave Andy the bottle and softly rocked him while feeding him.


"Yeah, Steven's just working now. He's a surgeon," Emma explained, "I just... I think something's wrong with me. I keep stressing out too much to take care of them."
