Derek had a lot on his mind. His best friend Dr Mark Sloan just became a dad. His young daughter Sophia was born way too soon, but she was fighting to stay alive. Her mother and Marks other best friend Dr Calliope Torres was still critical in the ICU fighting to live as well. The more he thought about Mark having a kid, renewed his thoughts about having one or two of his own, He pondered to himself the baby that Meredith had lost the day of the shooting. Who would he of looked like?
His pager going off abruptly cut through his thoughts like a knife. "Callie!" He said, praying it was good news. He didn't want to operate on her delicate brain for a third time so soon after the first two. When he gets to the room, he is relieved to see Dr Arizona Robbins, laughing with her best friend Dr Teddy Altman and his beautiful wife Meredith.
"You paged," he asked his wife.
"Yes Arizona said that Callie opened her eyes and said," she paused as Mark came into the room and another voice was softly heard saying, " Yes, yes Ill marry you yes,"
The doctors in the room all opened their eyes in amazement. Callie herself had just spoke.
"Callie can you follow my finger with your eyes? Good that's good. Now can you squeeze my hand? Excellent!" Derek was pleased that she was following simple commands, He knew that she still had a long recovery ahead of her. Callie's eyes came into focus a little bit as Mark stepped up to her bedside. She nodded to her best friend, and then opened her eyes in shock, for he was standing there in the pink protection gown that Drs use in the NICU.
"Oh my God, the baby I have to see my baby!"Callie said in a panic. Arizona rushed to her side and said "Callie, your going to have to wait. she's in good hands. Addison is with her right now." Mark nodded his head reassuringly as she searched his face with her eyes.
"Addison is here? When did she arrive? Who called her?" Callie asked confused.
"The chief called her and had her flown in right after the accident." Derek stated with a sad smile. Everyone could see Callie start to relax a little bit as she stated in a sleepy voice, "Okay Addison is with her." As she slowly fell back to sleep. Once Callie was asleep Mark looked at Arizona, who was holding Callie's hand while tears were pouring down her face, "Arizona" he stated, "Addison and Stark need to see you right away. If you don't mind I'll sit with her and keep a vigil."
"Okay Mark and thanks for telling me," she said as she started to exit the room. As Arizona ran for the NICU to check on her and Callie's baby, Derek returned to his office feeling a little bit of relief that Callie had come back some from her brain trauma. As he sat in his office alone once more he was once again thinking about the conversation he had with Meredith in the elevator right after Callie's second surgery. They had been trying to have a baby for a while now, ever since Meredith was told that she had a hostile uterus we've been through the fertility treatments, weird and uncomfortable positions for her, but nothing seems to be working. Nothing and its taking its toll on her and that's not fair. What am I going to do? I'm the best neurosurgeon in the world and my wife is miserable because she can't have a baby. We want to be parents so bad, but how? Come on now think. He thought to himself running his fingers through his hair, maddeningly. Who can I talk to for help in this matter? Wait he thought to himself, Addison is here, maybe I can run some ideas off on her. See what she has to say at least, yes that is what I will do. He smiled to himself sheepishly, maybe she knows someone around here who can help us.
