Meredith was awoken to the sound of her cell phone buzzing. She had know idea who could possibly be calling her at this hour in the morning. It was almost 7am, but still last night was a late night. She quickly got up and ran to the small desk in the corner. She sighed when she saw the name on the caller ID.
"Mark, why are you calling so early. We were up late dealing with everything that has been going on." Meredith says with and annoyed voice.
"I really need an update as to what's up with Amy. Callie and Arizona want to get her out here as fast as possible, Arizona doesn't want to be in a wheelchair much longer. She is going crazy." Mark said.
"I don't know when or if Amy will be able to do the surgery. Something has been going on here for the past few months, and no one will tell us what it is." Meredith tells Mark.
"Not even Amy?" Mark questions thinking about the woman he thought of as a sister.
"Yesterday at the hospital she was going to talk to Derek and Carolyn but she got to upset. They had to leave because her getting worked up was not good just after surgery." Meredith said.
"Wait, what happened to Amy? Why was she in the hospital? What was so upsetting?" Mark asked sounding rather panicked.
"Mark, Zola is going to be up soon can we talk about this later?" Meredith asks not wanting to explain.
"Meredith! You need to explain everything now. I can't take any not knowing. So you need to tell me." Mark says basically yelling.
"Yesterday once we arrived in California we met up with the family..." Meredith says as Mark interrupts.
"This is kind of off topic but how did meeting the whole family go?" Mark questioned.
"Mark!" Meredith quietly shouts into the phone. "Do you want to know about that? Or about what is going on with Amelia?" She finished.
"Sorry, tell me about Amy please." Mark responds.
"As I was saying, after we met up with the family we headed to the practice to see if we could find Addison so she could give us Amelia's address. Once she was finally done with her patient she noticed us all sitting in the waiting room. She looked very surprised to see everybody. However she would really tell us anything about what was going on with Amelia. She just said that it was not her place to say. She was about to tell us where we could find her, but the elevator doors opened and she was there with a man named Sheldon. Of course the whole family basically attacked her. As they were trying to all get her attention she just passed out into Sheldon's arms. Addison and Sheldon immediately took her to the hospital. It turned out she was bleeding into her stomach, they had to take her to surgery to make sure everything with her and the baby was alright..." Meredith tried to continue but Mark interrupted.
"BABY! What baby? Whose baby? When did that even happen?" Mark says asking a bunch of question Meredith doesn't have the answer for.
"Calm down Mark. Nobody would tell us anything about the baby. We only know because Carolyn figured it out when she hugged her. She eventually let Der and Carolyn in but she just couldn't take it. Later Sheldon came out and told the family that once she was out of the hospital she would talk to them and tell them what is going on." Meredith finally finishes.
"WHen is she getting out of the hospital?" Mark inquires.
"Tomorrow." Meredith answers as she notices Zola squirming in her playpen. "Mark I have to go Zola is waking up. We will probably be home next week or so. I will have Derek call you when we get more information."
"Okay, I love you guys so have fun and be safe." Mark says as the conversation ends and each hang up their own line.
Meredith walks over to see her little girl with her eyes wide open.
"Hi Zozo!" Meredith says to Zola.
"Mama mama." Zola cooed in response.
"Are you ready to have fun today with your whole family? Why don't we wake Daddy up so we can get this show on the road?" Meredith asks her young girl.
"Dada!" Zola squeals.
Meredith and Zola both walk over to the bed where Derek is sleeping and begin to tickle him. Soon Derek's tossing and turns into tickling his two favourite ladies back. The full out tickle war lasts for a mere five minutes until everyone is laughing so hard they can't breathe. Meredith is relieved to see the happy spark back in Derek's beautiful eyes.
"Are you ready for the pier today?" Meredith asks Derek.
"I was thinking about it, and instead of going to the pier how about we go to Disneyland? Zola hasn't been yet and it was like my favourite place when I was growing up. Plus we are already in California." Derek suggests.
"I think that is a great idea. I never went there as a kid but I think Zola will love all of the princesses and winnie the pooh characters." Meredith says in response. "Should we tell your family the change of plans? So they can come with us?" Meredith then asks.
"I think Nance and Joanne were going to hang out in the city and maybe go visit with Addison. But I am sure Kath and Ma will want to join us." Derek tells her.
"Okay well we better go down and get breakfast, I want to get there early." Meredith says excited as she basically pushes Derek out of bed.
"Okay, okay I am going." Derek says giggling at how excited Meredith is to go to disneyland.
Derek, Meredith and Zola quickly got ready and get downstairs for breakfast. Waiting for them at a large table were Derek's sisters, and his mother. They waved them down and all sat together, waiting for the waitress to come and take their order.
"How did everyone sleep." Carolyn asks starting off the conversation.
Everyone answered in unison, "Good." Carolyn then continued to ask other questions. Her next one was, "What is everyone doing today."
Just as Derek suspected Nance and Joanne wanted to stay in this area and go shopping, they also wanted to go visit Addison and catch up. Then Meredith piped up with their plans.
"Derek is taking Zola and I to Disneyland today." Meredith said grinning like a kid in a candy store.
"Do you mind if I join you? My kids don't like going there anymore, so it would be nice to see a little one enjoy it again." Kathleen asks.
"Absolutely and Ma you can come to if you want." Derek says.
"I think I will, it would be a distraction from thinking about Amelia all day." Carolyn says just before the waitress gets there to take their orders.
About an hour later everyone was on there way to their day of fun. Kathleen and Meredith were sitting in the backseat entertaining Zola, who seemed to be loving their attention. While Derek and Carolyn were in the front talking. Before they knew it they had arrived at the gates of disney, ready for a new adventure. Meredith helped Zola out of the car and put her in the bugaboo. Everything else they needed was packed in the bottom of the stroller and they set off into disney.
The first thing all of the girls notice is the gift shop. Derek really just wants to get to the rides.
"Seriously we are at Disneyland and all you girls want to do is go shopping?" Derek questions.
"Of course, silly! We need to get disney gear. Zola needs ears, a t-shirt, a hat and anything else I can think of that has a disney character on it." Meredith says.
"I am going to get a map and wait outside while you all shop." Derek says. Little did he know they would be in there from almost 45 minutes picking out things that Zola "needed" for the day at disney she likely would not even remember.
"Finally." Derek says once he sees his family exiting the store. Then he notices everything that had been bought. Each woman was carrying a bag of stuff and Zola's stoller was packed high as well. "What the heck did you buy? The store?" Derek questioned shocked by the amount of stuff they were carrying.
"Well we each needed a t-shirt and mickey ears, so that is what is in this bag." Kathleen says.
"Zola also need a stuffed animal to remember, but she couldn't decide which one she wanted she we each got her one. We also forgot her swimsuit, so we had to get one for right now and one just incase the other one gets dirty." Meredith tells him holding up her bag.
"We also need sunscreen and souvenir water bottles to take with us around the park, so we don't have to keep buying water." Derek's mom says.
"Wow! But what is in the stroller? Our daughter barely fits in there now Mer." Derek says.
"Well, we each needed a towel, so I bought those. And then there are souvenirs for everyone at home. I figured it would be adorable if Zola and Sophia had matching disney outfits, with the matching ears." Meredith said with a smile.
"Okay, okay no more shopping. Let's go on some rides already." Derek says and all three women laugh because he is acting like a child himself.
"Okay we're going!" They all said together.
The first ride the family of five approached were the teacups. The minute Zola saw them, she wanted on. The line wasn't too long at all so Meredith, Zola, Kathleen and Derek all got in a teacup while Carolyn took picture. Zola was giggling so loud as the teacup spun. She was having the time of her life. But Zola wasn't the only one having the time of their lives. Meredith was laughing right along with Zola acting like a kid as well. Derek loved watching her like this.
Soon the ride finished and it was on to flying dumbo probably both Zola and Meredith's favorite ride of the day. The rode it five times throughout the and every single time Zola giggled so loud everyone was surprised they didn't hear her all the way across the park. The day was becoming a smashing success and everyone was having a ball. It was time to get some ice cream.
"Ma what kind of ice cream do you want?" Derek asks.
"Strawberry please. After we need to go to the water park. Zo looks like she is becoming hot." Carolyn says looking down at Zola in her bugaboo.
"Yeah that sounds like a good idea to me, after that I think we should head to the little kid area and let Zola meet all of the princesses. She loves Snow White!" Derek says. They all agree and begin to eat their ice cream and the rest of the day flies by.
As they were heading out of the park at 6 pm Zola was curled up sleeping in her stroller. Meredith fell asleep as soon as she sat in her seat. It was a great day. A day that took everybody's mind off of what they might find out tomorrow.
It is about 8pm when they arrive back at the hotel, Meredith is finally awake and carries Zola into the hotel lobby. Once everything is unloaded from the car Derek sees someone he did not think he would see. He is very shocked.
