Helena woke up a bit groggy, as her alarm rang. At that, she moved to turn it off, Mark letting out a groan. Helena exhaled as she let her head fall back on the pillow.
"I don't wanna go to work..." She whined, the man pressing a kiss to her temple.
"Oh, come on, you love work." He teased, putting a lock of hair behind her ear.
"I do. But Cristina and Meredith are still fighting and being all silently angry at each other. And Izzie is still acting weird, I'm worried about her." She complained, closing her eyes again. "So, I'm going back to sleep, where it's warm and... ."
"You're a resident, you can't just go back to sleep. Now, come on, you're on peds, today! Why aren't you excited?" He asked her, throwing the sheets off of their bodies.
"It's Jackson's case, the little boy that has had bowel recessions. So I'm going !" Helena told him in a sing songy manner, her eyes still closed.
At that, the man gave her a mischievous grin, moving to tickle her. At the surprise attack, Helena squealed before starting a fit of laughter, almost falling off the bed to get up, as she got away from him. After catching her breath, she narrowed her eyes at him. "I'm gonna get you back, when you least expected." Turning to enter the bathroom, a hand running through her hair, she repeated. "You hear me, Sloan? When you least expect it!"

"Jackson Prescott!" Bailey as she entered the room with Helena. They were working on a peds case for the day, with Dr. Kenley. "You shot up again."
"No, I didn't." The kid smiled at them.
"Then why do you look so big?" Helena asked him, smiling.
"Because you two are short." He told them, making the brunette giggle.
"We've always been short, you grew." Bailey argued.
"Unless we've shrunk, which happens to old people..." The girl gasped, playfully. "Are you calling us old, Jackson?"
The boy giggled as he shook his head.
"Dr. Bailey, Dr. Campos, while I check out Jackson, why don't you take Melinda through today's procedure?" Kenley asked them, the two women leaving the room.
"Did you see he looks more yellow?" The mother asked the doctors, worried.
"Ok, Dr. Kenley is gonna check his liver function test." Bailey said, reassuringly.
"We'll take good care of him, Melinda." Helena agreed, nodding, as she went back into the room.
In there, the child bargained with the attending. "Are you gonna let me have a lollipop this time? My stomach is not so bad right now..."
"It's not? Then how come I'm about to cut a piece out of it again?" The man joked.
"Give me one of the lollipops and, if I can keep it down, we don't have to do the operation." He tried to convince him.
"Sure, that's gonna..." Suddenly, he interrupted himself, closing his eyes and leaving against the boy's head. "I'm not..."
"Dr. Kenley?" Helena asked, the man falling to the ground. Quickly putting down her chart, Helena kneeled by the man, asking with urgency in her voice. "Jackson, hit the blue button right behind you!"
The sound of the code being called filled the room as the girl started chest compressions on the man. At that, Bailey ran into the room, kneeling by her and asking. "What happened?"
"He just fell to the floor." The girl explained, continuing the CPR.

As Helena took a blood sample from the boy, she whispered. "I'm sorry about Dr. Kenley. You shouldn't have had to see that."
"Whatever." He answered, turning to a paper sheet he was carrying. "Dr. Kenley was gonna sign this, before he died and everything. Can you?"
"What is it?" The doctor asked, focused on her work.
"I wanna get a wish from the wish people. You have to have a doctor sign it." Jackson explained.
"Sorry, Jackson, but I'm not signing it." She told him, a soft smile on her lips.
"Come on! If you sign it, you can help me pick my wish. These are the ones kids have already done, like going on a circus trapeze or going on a rodeo. Just put stars by the ones you think are cool and x's by the ones that are lame." The child told her, motioning towards the paper.
"Nope, I'm not signing. That's for kids with life threatening diseases and are not dying. So I'm not helping you cheat the system." She joked, the boy smiling up at her. "Also, the rodeo is lame, it smells."

Bailey and Helena sat at a nurses station, Helena charting as Bailey researched in the computer.
"Dr. Bailey, Dr. Campos." They heard a voice call out, the small girl's head shooting up from her paperwork. "Arizona Robbins." The blond presented herself, sharing a handshake with both women. Helena smiled at the new attending, as Bailey simply seemed surprised. "I'm taking over Dr. Kenley's patients."
"Oh, you're the peds surgeon?" Bailey asked.
"Yeah. I see you're both assisting with Jackson Prescott. All due respect to Dr. Kenley, he was a wonderful physician, but I'm surprised he followed this course of treatment for so long. When it wasn't... you know, working." The blond shared, Helena letting out a nervous giggle at Bailey's offended face."Oh, I'm not criticizing you, you didn't make the call."
"Yeah, but I supported the call." The older resident told her.
"We hadn't turned the corner yet, but Dr. Kenley was convinced that if we kept doing what we were doing..." Helena explained, attempting to lighten the tension.
"Jack's case is quite severe." The blond argued.
"." Bailey corrected.
