Ivy stands at the nurses desk in the E.R. as April comes up to her, "So, Edward's just told me the sex of my baby."

She turns to her, "Oh, what is it? Am I getting a niece/goddaughter or a nephew/godson?"

"I didn't want to know!" April freaks out.

"Hey. Stress isn't good for the baby. Now, tell aunt Ivy what you're having," Ivy bounces in place.

"A boy."

She smiles, "Oh, you're gonna have a little mommas boy. Chris and Bailey will have another boy to play with. Come on, are you really that mad?"

April nods, "Yes. I wanted to be surprised! And she told me seconds later."

Ivy laughs, "Shes a rookie at ultrasounds where the person is conscious. Just relax and enjoy your pregnancy. Please."

She sighs, "Fine. I'm having a boy and Luke doesn't know because I lied and didn't tell him."

"You're a joy. Like a big ball of sunshine sometimes. Right now, not feeling it."

"So, no, they don't see the danger in stepping up a stair. You should have stopped him," Ivy hears Owen tell Callie.

As Callie walks out of the room, Ivy walks in, "You know, you don't need to be so hard on her."

He sighs, "Ivy, with all due res-"

Ivy shakes her head, "No. Owen, she couldn't have stopped him. Amelia told me what happened. Callie couldn't have stopped him. Your right, they wouldn't see the risk in taking a step so they won't listen when someone warns them. Lay off her a little."

"She still could have said something."

"And that may have pushed him to try it anyways. Owen, she's doing everything she can but you kicking her down isn't helping. Focus on him and helping him before you go yelling at Callie anymore," Ivy tells him, walking out.

Ivy walks into Pierces O.R.'s observation deck, "Why was I paged?"

Derek looks up at her, "That girls brain could be herniating right now and I could have stopped it if Pierce didn't pull rank. Meredith thinks I'm working against her and to be truthful, I've given her, and you, plenty of reason to believe that. But that is not the case right here. I swear it."

"I talked to her mother. She says that none of you reassured her that her baby will be okay. Just told her the multiple ways things could go wrong," Ivy crosses her arms.

"Wait. You talked to her? Did she ask to meet with a board member or-" Webber asks.

"No. When the E.R. isn't busy and I don't have a lot of patients lined up, I go to the waiting room and try and help the families as much as I can. I check in on surgeries, get them food or coffee, or just be someone to listen to. What I don't understand is why you all as surgeons forgot to reassure the family. You know," Ivy walks over to the speaker and turns it on, "Dr. Grey, Dr. Pierce, Dr. Shepherd, and Dr. Webber, I would like to see you all in conference room 2 after surgery and after you've updated the mother. Am I clear?"

They all nod, "Yes, ma'am."

She sighs, "Good."
