CHAPTER 10
"Okay thank you for the update Amy" Derek says through his phone. "Any news?" Meredith asks, pouring herself a cup of coffee. "Amy said he woke up an hour ago he is conscious, alert and aware." Derek explains, as Serena enters the kitchen.
"Really he is? So he's okay? When is he allowed to have visitors?" Serena spills out one question after another not giving her parents enough time to answer any of them. Meredith takes a long look at her youngest child, observing every detail of her.
Serena is dressed in blue and red pajama pants, and one of Chris's Seattle High Baseball sweatshirts which is baggy on her. Her blue eyes are still bloodshot she has probably been up all night crying. The deep black shadow under her eyes further prove Meredith's point. Meredith and Derek have a silent conversation, by sharing a long look coming to an agreement. Walking up to Serena Meredith feels her forehead.
"Baby you're burning up" Meredith says. "Okay here's what we are going to do. Your sisters and I will go to Chris's game and your mom will stay here with you" Derek explains. "This is a big game for Chris he has that scout coming from The University of Washington. He wants both of you there, and besides I am I don't need someone to stay home with me" Serena argues. Meredith shakes her head, "we know you can but you are emotionally drained and your body is warn down. It isn't the first game I've missed and it won't be the last." Meredith states firmly. "I would feel a lot better to stay home with you" she adds.
"Fine I'll stay home and you can stay with me, but when can I see Noah?" Serena gives in seeing no point in arguing with her parents and frankly being way too tired to do so. After several moments of thought and another shared glance with Meredith Derek finally answers. "Tomorrow if he is feeling up to it, but today you really need to rest." Serena nods heading upstairs to go back to bed. Meredith is determined to get some answers from her daughter today.
ELLY POV
Elly is sitting on the bleachers waiting for the Baseball game to start. Callie has decided to drag Elly here to support Zager and Chris. When she would much rather be at home letting her anger at Serena and Zager fester.
Elly perks up when she notices the slender curly haired brunette heading their way. Elly's crystal blue eyes lock with Winter's sea green ones. Callie looks over at her daughter, who is grinning ear to ear. Callie follows Elly's gaze "is that Winter?" She whispers not so quietly. "Yeah Mami that's her" Elly blushes. Before Elly can stop her mother, Callie waves Winter over to sit with them. "Try to be nicer to her than mom was. I really like her I don't want my insane mothers to scare her off" Elly pleads. "I make no promises" Callie grins mischievously.
"Hi I'm Elly's other mother you know the one that breaks bones for a living." Callie extends her hand out with a smirk. "It's a pleasure to meet you Dr. T" Winter shakes her hand. Callie looks the girl up and down. She is wearing a light blue T-Shirt that says weird but loveable with a pair of purple jeans with red poka dots on them.
Her outfit while definitely interesting is not what caught Callie's eye though. Perched on top of Winter's left shoulder is a live baby owl. "Um is that a real owl?" Callie gasps. "Yeah his name is Hedwig" Winter strokes his feathers. "This certainly isn't a pet you see everyday" Callie says. "I'm not a normal person" Winter answers with a proud smile. Callie scoots over on the bleacher creating a gap. "Do you want to watch the game with us?" Callie offers with a smile.
Winter glances over at Elly who nods eagerly. "Yeah I'd love" Winter sits down next to Elly carful not to disturb Hedwig. The way Elly carefully intertwines their fingers is the moment Callie realizes how happy her daughter is.
MEREDITH POV
"You can do this Chris" Meredith shouts as she is watching her son strike out another batter through his Ipad. Derek moves his Ipad back to himself, "I just got paged I'm going to hand this to Callie or one of the girls" Derek says. "Okay I'm going to check on Serena real quick" Meredith replies putting her Ipad down, and goes up to Serena's room.
Serena is asleep on her bed when Meredith walks in. That's When Meredith notices the cuts on her daughter's wrists. Without even thinking she crosses the room to her daughter gently waking her up. "You need to start talking to me like right" Meredith whispers laying down next to Serena.
