Kepner Wedding

Ivy stands, one hand caressing her bump, the other holding a smoothie as she watches Cristina, Ross, and Hunt sit in front of reporters for the press conference, "Dr. Cristina Yang."

"Thank you, Dr. Hunt. The, uh...the procedure I- is so relatively untried that the associated risks are un-unusually high. Still, that shouldn't be a reason not to try," Cristina closes her folder as Hunt whispers something to her before continuing, "Fortunately, the patient is responding very well for now. His vitals remain stable, and it is our hope that this will continue. And if it does, I am cautiously optimistic that we can call this procedure a success-" Cristina is cutoff by Ross taking the mic and causing feedback.

"Home run is a better word. Dr. Yang hit a home run. Thanks to her, baby Nathan is thriving this morning," as the press start applauding, Ivy makes her way out of the room. She's currently seven and a half months pregnant and she feels it.

She sighs, rubbing her back as Meredith comes up behind her, "How you feeling? More specifically, how are the prince and princess doing in there?"

Ivy chuckles, "They're doing great. Making themselves very comfortable right on my kidney and bladder. I'm so close, so, so close to my delivery date. I just need to get through April's wedding today, then two weeks until I get a c-section, then, two weeks after that is my wedding."

Meredith smiles, "Busy month."

"Yes, but it will ask be worth it. I've got to go meet April, see you at the church," Ivy starts heading to the elevators but is met by April storming out with her hair in curlers.

"Hey, I was-"

"Please say you were coming to meet me," April pleads.

Ivy nods as April starts dragging her. They run into Jackson, "Wow, you look..."

She shakes her head, "Nope! No. Don't say I look nice."

He gestures at her, "Like a train wreck. But I can see where it's going. Um, why are you dragging my fiance and children around?"

"I'm hunting bridesmaids," April sighs.

"I was on my way to meet you at our agreed time," Ivy mumbles.

"Is that a farm tradition?" Jackson asks.

Ivy and April glare at him before April turns to Ivy, "I know, but since Cristina and Meredith haven't shown up to a single fitting, I'm bringing the seamstress to all of you."

She shrugs, "Okay, but can I go get fitted before they are brought in? Cause them together lately is just bad and-"

"Yes, here, I'll take you," April starts dragging her away again.

"See you at the wedding!" Ivy calls over her shoulder.

"Yeah, hopefully you all will be in one piece."

April drops her off with the seamstress, "Oh, look at that bump! How are you feeling?"

Ivy smiles at her, "I'm feeling great, even better once these babies are out. As you can tell, I'm huge! Sorry, this will be a lot of taking out."

She waves her off, "No, no, I made sure this would be huge on a woman seven months pregnant with triplets. I'll still have to take this in on you."

"Aw, you're making me feel skinny! I could cry," Ivy puts her hand in her heart.

"I'm here to make you feel pretty, however that is," she smiles at Ivy as Cristina is shoved into the room.

She looks Ivy up and down, "Not bad for a pregnant woman, McBaby. Especially one with twins."
