Sam’s Stripper

I didn’t deliver any babies today.  Well, I didn’t help deliver any babies today.  Which is a surprise…  Considering how I totally rocked the Assistant to Addison Montgomery gig the other day.  I told you – Addison and I delivered a baby girl.  Together.  Me and Addie.  Oh, and Pete – he was there, too.  Yeah, it was…  Just me and the gang.

But, today?  No pregnancies.  No labors.  No babies needing to come into the world.  More importantly:  NO MIDWIFERY PRACTICE.  I don’t like days like this.

I shouldn’t be too hard on myself.  I guess there will be plenty of pregnant women needing all of my midwifery skills in due time. All in due time…  That’s what I keep telling myself.

OWG had quite an eventful day.  Most of the staff was busy with some crazy, baby swap mix-up.  Things got pretty emotional.  I could kind of see it all go down from my domain.  Dr. Charlotte King shed a tear.  At least, I think it was a tear.  It could’ve just been something in her eye.  That sounds more likely.  Humans – the ones with feelings – they cry.  Charlotte King?  No, Dr. Charlotte King does not cry.

Besides that, Sam figured out some dude’s grandma was using poison as a way to thwart alcoholism and Pete treated a stripper.  Or, as Cooper just told me, Pete treated an “entertainer.”  No, man – Ginger’s a stripper.  Ginger’s definitely a stripper.

Anyway, last night – everybody (except me, somebody rather conveniently forgot to tell me) gathered at Addison’s place to watch Ginger help Sam relieve a little stress.  Yeah, it’s all fun and games until the ex-wife shows up.  Naomi.  And…  Buzz kill.

That explains why Naomi was not happy this morning.  She didn’t even thank me for the morning coffee I got for her.  And Naomi always thanks me.  But, not today…  She was all focused and determined and…  Very clearly could not stop thinking about Sam and the stripper.

I thought asking Naomi to speak to my midwifery class would’ve cheered her up.  My teacher – she really wants to meet the primal life giver that is Naomi Bennett.  But, Naomi didn’t seem all that into it.  Addison volunteered, but, well, she’s certainly no Naomi.  Addison’s great and all, but…  I want Naomi. 

You know, I drew a map to my school for her and everything.  Here I am, putting myself out there, making an effort, trying to get her interested (in my midwifery class, that is) and still…  nothing.  It would’ve been nice to have her there.  Hopefully she’ll come around….  Eventually…

Well, looks like class starts in an hour, so I should get going.  Tonight we get to “practice” another birth.  Again.  Once you’ve seen a real one – like yours truly has – these “practices” are really, really lame.  I mean, it’s a doll for cryin’ out loud.  Where’s the amniotic fluid?  Where’s the umbilical cord?  Where’s the living, breathing, CRYING baby?  That’s what I need.  That’s what’s so unbelievably exciting.  Okay, I really need to get Naomi to my class.  She’d make things interesting.

[hello]

hi dell!

[Team Addison]

Okay, so Dell, is mid-whiff-ery (phonetically spelled there) really how you say it? And c'mon now, give Addison a break - I mean, you got to help her deliver a baby for petes sake! You owe her - let her speak to your class! :) Thx for bein so on top of this blogging thing!

[Angie]

yeah, Dell should kiss the ground Addie walks by.
And i don´t like dell being interested in Naomi, i would prefer him having a crush on Addie now that he is gonna help her and all.

[Radin]

Yep, I'm officially so bored at work that I'm writting a message to a good looking fictional tv character! Wow, I really am pathetic! Maybe I'll go look up midwifery to see if that really is a word.

[seriously]

it's mid-WIFE-ery...

[Lily]

No I like how dell has this cute crush on Naomi, it so cute

[Kate rocks]

is midwifery a word then Angie lol?? i'm the same replying to a blog of a fictious TV character. what are we like? ha!
oh well .
dell i love your blog

[deirdre]

ohh it's cute how dell's in love with naomi

[diana]

Charlotte King is overwhelm. She needs a friend. Sam and Charlotte have some chemistry. They are so going to get it on

[ellen]

dell you are too cute! but seriously..midWHIFFery? lol!

[Sencha]

What? only 10 comments to a fictional tv character. People, we can do better than that! lol ok-
Well, Dell, we've noticed that you fancy the good doctor, and I do believe you'll eventually be able to get "primal" with her. You see, cake provides limited satisfaction and when Naomi needs a bit more-voila- you'll be right there to bring the sweetness, charming lad that you are.
But more importantly, never give up on the sisters. We could use a few more guys like yourself showing us some love.

lol

p.s. I've only ever heard the word pronounced as mid-- Whiff-ery. I think they've got it right.

I could also see some Sam and Charlotte action coming.

[Donna]

whats the green drink?

[laura]

haha, all this midwifery business. and dell needs to fall in love with addison. just cause she's adorable and everybody else loves her! :D

[Vicky]

I wouldn't mind the Dell crushing on Naomi if Merin Dungy were playing her and not Audra McDonald (whom I really do love and adore and respect as an actress, singer, etc.) Merin and the guy who plays Dell had awesome chemistry and him and Audra...well, they don't.

[daryune]

well both pronunciations work, actually... although personally i think mid-whiff-ery sounds better ^_^

[jackie]

i love audra!

[Maddie]

Yes, Mid WIF ery is a very respectable career. one i've often thought about doing myself. Here in New Zealand almost all babies are delivered by midwives (either independently via home births, hospitals or private practices) and there are very few practicing OBGYNs who will deliver a baby. in fact, i think the last couple are hanging up thier hats.
i'm glad midwifery is being incorporated into a show like this

[K]

Angie is off her rocker...

[Marina]

Ehehe. Of course midwifery is a word :O One of my best friend's mum is a midwife, lovely lady by the way.

and its cute how Dell has this crush on Naomi ^^

I basically just repeated the previous comments...oh well.

[Private Practice Fan!]

[soldiergirl]
