Today is Alex's trial and I've never been more nervous. Jackson hasn't spoken to me since the night Alex was arrested and I hate it. Yes, I didn't tell him the truth and it was wrong, but I was trying to protect Alex, even though I shouldn't have been.

Scotty: you okay?
Delilah: just nervous about Alex's trial.
Scotty: have you talked to Jackson?
Delilah: he's being a stubborn little baby.
Scotty: he'll get over it, I promise. Listen, what you did was wrong, but I totally understand why you did it.
Delilah: at least I have you on my side.
Scotty: of course.

Suddenly, Scotty's pager goes off.

Scotty: damn it. One of the patients ran away from the Psych floor.
Delilah: have fun finding crazy person.

I walk off and I decided to see April and Dylan. I smile as I walk into April's room.

Delilah: hello!
Dylan: hey.
Delilah: hey guys. April, how are you feeling?
April: I'm okay.
Delilah: where's my goddaughter?
Dylan: Karev is bringing her around.

I give both of them a hug. Just as I pull away, I hear a baby cooing and I turn around to see Alex wheeling Harriet in. My heart melts at the sight of my new goddaughter.

Alex: here's our girl.
April: hi sweetie. Gimme, gimme, gimme.

Alex hands Harriet to April.

Alex: Harriet is gaining weight right on schedule. She's healthy and fat.
Dylan: fat baby.

I chuckle at the new father.

Alex: fat baby.

I chuckle again as Alex and Dylan share a fist bump.

Alex: and healthy enough to go home today.
Dylan: yeah?

I smile as Alex nods his head.

April: are you sure she's ready? What about her respirations. I thought I—
Alex: Kepner, you can take your kid home.

Alex's phone goes off and he looks at it. Must be about the trial.

Alex: look, I got to go.

Yep, it's about the trial.

Dylan: oh, that's today.
Alex: congrats on the fat baby.
Dylan: okay, yeah. Thanks.
Delilah: I'll be back. She's beautiful, congrats guys.

I kiss Dylan and April on the cheek then kiss my goddaughter before running off with Alex.
