Greene brings his father and his daughter, Rachel (recurring guest star YVONNE ZIMA), to Corday's for Thanksgiving dinner. Later, an embarrassed Rachel starts her first menstrual period, and Corday befriends her. And Mr. Greene falls and cuts his forehead. Corday stitches it in the er.

Kovac rescues Hathaway--who's experiencing severe childbirth pains--in a subway station. He carries her to the er where Weaver delivers Hathaway's first daughter. After transferring up to the Labor and Delivery department, she meets her obstetrics nurse, Abby Lockhardt (series star MAURA TIERNEY - "News Radio"). Greene, Hathaway's birthing partner, leaves Thanksgiving dinner and arrives while Dr. Coburn (AMY AQUINO) prepares for the birth of the next baby. Hathaway receives an epidural to alleviate the excruciating pain, but a crisis occurs. The second baby has a prolapsed cord--the umbilical cord is being pushed out before the baby, rendering the fetus incapable of receiving oxygen.

With no time to administer anesthesia, Coburn performs an emergency cesarean. Numbed by the epidural but awake, Hathaway is aware of the complications. Finally, her second daughter is born. But Hathaway experiences profuse bleeding, and Coburn prepares to perform a hysterectomy. Hathaway refuses and Greene insists that her wishes be obeyed. She survives intact and marvels at her two little miracles.

Malacci impresses Carter with his knowledge of a strange ailment and admits he attended a less than stellar medical school in Grenada.
