"Twelve year old female, Jane Doe, two GSWs to the chest, and four to the abdomen, pulse is strong, massive blood loss though. Several stab wounds near the heart, neighbors found her unconscious", recited the paramedic, as she pushed the gurney through the crowded emergency room.
Teddy set down her coffee cup and jogged over to the patient. Arizona was checking the patient's vitals and placing an I.V. "What's going on? Fill me in", Teddy said, while checking the girl's heart. "Twelve year old girl, two bullets to the chest, and four to the abdomen. Having trouble breathing and a looks like she was shot near her heart", recited Arizona. Teddy quickly checked for any exit wounds. "Oh my god! She was shot right next to the heart and has multiple stab wounds on her chest also near her heart! Let's get her into O.R 1 NOW! Page Dr. Bailey", demanded Teddy. She, Arizona, and two other nurse rapidly pushed the bed to the O.R.
Teddy and Arizona were scrubbing as fast as they could. All gloved, gowned, and masked they began the operation.
"Poor child", Dr. Bailey sympathetically murmured, as she placed another bullet fragment into the tray. Teddy was operating on the girl's heart. Arizona was helping Dr. Bailey look for bullet fragments and bleeding. "She's got some internal bleeding!", exclaimed Arizona. She quickly trying to fix it. Teddy focused on the patient's heart and fixed a small cut on the artery. "This poor girl, she was shot six times and stabbed eight times. I just had to fix a cut that was so deep it cut her artery slightly", said Teddy. She looked at the girl's sweet face and sighed. "Who would do this?", she thought sadly.
A few hours later…
Teddy was sitting in the room of the girl she operated on earlier. Henry walked in. "Hey they nurses said you were in here. Slow day?", he greeted softly. He handed her a cup of coffee and pressed small kiss on her forehead. "Thanks. Yeah she was my only patient surprisingly", said Teddy, as she sadly looked at the frail girl lying in a huge hospital bed. She took a sip of her coffee and sighed.
After chatting with Henry softly for ten minutes, they both heard a slight rustle.
Teddy and Henry looked over at the girl. She blinked slowly and opened her eyes. Then she gagged a little from intubation. Teddy murmured something softly to her and gently removed the tube. The girl coughed. Teddy helped her sit up.
"Here", Henry said as a poured her some water and handed it to her. She took a sip and looked around with a confused expression.
"Where am I?", she asked quietly. Teddy walked closer to her. "Hi sweetheart. You're at Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital", Teddy answered softly. The girl looked at Teddy, then at Henry. "What happened? Who are you?", she asked nervously. "You were shot and stabbed multiple times and passed out from blood loss. Some neighbors found you. I'm Dr. Teddy Altman and this is Henry, my husband", Teddy told her. Henry waved.
"What's your name Sweetie?", Teddy asked. The girl looked at her. "Paisley, Paisley Quinn Aldridge", the girl answered. "That's a beautiful name", complimented Henry with a sincere smile. "Thanks", replied Paisley.
"Paisley, I don't want you to be scared, but can you answer a few questions for?", asked Teddy. Paisley looked at her and nodded.
"Do you know who did this to you?", Teddy asked. Paisley's eyes started to fill with tears. "I can't tell you or they'll hurt me", she tearfully replied and burst into tears. Teddy gave her a hug and whispered kind soothing words into her ear. Henry rubbed Paisley's back.
"Sweetheart no one is going to hurt you. You need to tell me so the police can find the culprit", Teddy said softly. Paisley sobbed into Teddy's shoulder. Teddy stroked the girl's long jet black hair and wiped a tear from her olive skin. "Yes, they will! They said they will cut me and let me bleed to death if I told! I already get hurt enough how it is!", she cried and nuzzled into Teddy shoulder.
"I'm gonna let you two talk for now", said Henry, as he walked out of the room and shut the door.
Teddy climbed onto the bed and pulled Paisley into a gentle hug. "Paisley, please if you tell I promise you won't get hurt I'll protect you and I'll make sure you have a security guard standing in front of your door at all times. Paisley sniffled and wiped her now red and swollen eyes.
"Ok, my parents. They did it to me", she confessed.
Teddy looked at the child next to her with a sympathetic look.
"They always hit me! With belts and a metal pipe a couple of times. They told I should die, because I'm worthless. Then they shot me, the last thing I remember was passing out from the bleeding and pain, lots and lots of pain", she spilled.
"You poor child", Teddy said, feeling her own heart break.
"Please get me away from them! I don't like my life with them. All my day consists of is being beat with a belt, going to school, coming home and getting beat some more, doing homework, being fed a piece of stale toast if I'm lucky they'll butter it and a cup of water, then my bedtime beating, and then I cry myself to sleep while laying on my "bed" which it only a yoga mat a sack of flour for a pillow and a thin ripped blanket", she cried. She sniffled and more tears fell.
Teddy wrapped her arms around the girl's thin underweight and bruised frame. She wiped the gril's tears away gently with a Kleenex.
"I noticed you were very underweight, I'll have the nurses give you extra food and have then make a special diet to help you get back to a normal weight. I promise you I will protect you and I'm going to get you away from those people", Teddy reassured.
Paisley hugged Teddy and rested her head on her shoulder.
"Cross your heart and hope to die?", she asked hopefully, looking up at Teddy.
"Cross my heart hope to die", replied Teddy, as she placed a small kissed on the girl's forehead.
Paisley gasped. "I've never known what it was like to be loved", she said staring at Teddy. Teddy smiled and hugged her again.
"I love you Paisley, I'm going to do everything I can to protect you", replied Teddy, as she rocked Paisley to sleep.
When she was sure Paisley was asleep, she carefully and quietly slipped out of the bed to find Henry. She finally found him in the cafeteria on Facebook.
"Whatcha doin' babe?", she asked glancing at Henry's laptop screen. Henry smiled. "I'm on Facebook, it gets boring as crap here! I also kinda had to stay cause you had the keys", he answered, his eyes not leaving the screen.
"What's going on?", Teddy asked curiously watching the screen. Henry replied by handing her the laptop and pulling over a chair for her.

[Back to real life]
"Wow, You spent the past three hours on Facebook commenting and playing games!", Teddy asked, with mock anger. She giggled softly. "Hey! I now have the top score in Cityville! Oh yah baby Henry Land is number one!", defended Henry. He smiled and kissed Teddy's cheek. They began walking to their car, holding hands and smiling.
When they arrived home Teddy ran upstairs to change and Henry let their black lab, Scout out and fed him. Scout walked over and laid in front of the couch after he finished his meal. Henry sat on the couch and turned on Desperate Housewives. Teddy laid down on the couch and put her head on his lap and took the remote and turned off the T.V.
"Henry, Can I talk to you?", Teddy asked.
"Sure Baby. What's Up?", Henry replied.
"You know that patient, Paisley?", continued Teddy.
"Yeah", Henry said, wondering where this was going.
"Well, she told me she is abused at home and well tomorrow I'm calling social services", Teddy said.
"And?", asked Henry still confused.
"Well I really bonded with Paisley and I don't want her in the foster care system", said Teddy.
"Where are you going with this Honey?", asked Henry.
"I want to adopt her, she's been through so much and we both want a family", finished Teddy.
"I understand, but Sweetie I want to have a baby with you", replied Henry.
"I know but Henry…", Teddy pleaded.
"So after three hours with her you came to this decision?", questioned Henry.
"Yes", Teddy said, quietly.
She looked at Henry, with her best puppy eyes and pouted. Henry inhaled then exhaled loudly. He looked at Teddy.
"Okay. We're in this together and I fully support your choice", he agreed.
Teddy squealed with delight and hugged Henry tightly. She jumped up and down and clapped. Scout jumped up onto Henry, nearly knocking him over.
Teddy sat back down on the couch and smiled.
"We're gonna have a family Henry!", she said happily.
"Yes we are", said Henry, smiling.
Henry leaned closer to Teddy and gave her a big kiss.
"I love you Teddy"
"I love you to Henry"
