------------------------------------------
Once they arrived at the hospital, Derek & Addison got out of the car. Addison got Brookie out of her carseat, and Derek grabbed her bag for daycare. "Don't forget u promised we can see Aunt Izzie and Uncle Alex." Brookie said to her parents. She was always very fond of the Alex & Izzie. Derek wasnt sure why. Addison thought it was because they were the doctors who delivered her. "I know, we'll stop and see them. Just cool your jets." Addison told her daughter as she carried her into the hospital. Derek following behind them.
------------------------------------------
As they stepped through the front door Brooke squirmed to get down. Obeying to her daughters wishes, Addison put her on the ground and watched Brooke take off towards the admit desk. "Brookelyn Elizabeth Shepard, get your little butt back here." Derek yelled, watching as his daughter turned around. "You know that we do not run around the hospital." he tells the little girl when they finally catch up. Brooke gives Derek her best sad puppy dog look. "I'm sorry daddy." she says. Derek's heart melting as he looked into her big blue eyes. "It's alright princess, just dont let it happen again." He tells her looking back at his wife. Addison smiles at the two and continues down the hall towards her office. Derek and Brookie follow. "Mommy, where's Aunt Izzie?" Brookie asks once their inside Addison's office. "I dont know sweetie. We'll look for her on the way down to daycare." she tells her daughter. "Now, get your things from daddy and tell him bye." she says. Brookie does as shes told and takes her things from Derek. "Bye daddy, i wove you." Brookie says as she gives Derek a big kiss on the cheek. Derek kisses her back. "I love you too squirt. I'll see you in a little while." he tells her. "I really should be going." Derek tells Addison. "I will see you at lunch time." he says and gives her a kiss before leaving. "Alright you, lets see if we can find Aunt Izzie and Uncle Alex." addison says looking down at brooke. As soon as Addison picked up the little girl and turned around she was startled by none other then Alex Karev himself. "UNCLE ALEX!" the little girl exclaimed, reaching her arms out to him. "Hey, how's my favorite little girl?" he asked as he took Brookelyn from her mother. Addison smiled. "I'm good uncle alex. where's aunt izzie?" she asked questioningly. "She is down the hall with a patient. Do you want me to take you to visit her? But only if it's alright with your mother." alex asked, looking at addison for approval. Brookie turned to face addison, "Peeeease mommy!?" she asked, giving addison her best McDreamy smile possible. "How can you say no to that?" alex said looking at the little girl. Addison sighed. "Fine, uncle alex can take you to see Izzie. But seriously alex, dont be gone too long. My shift starts in a half an hour and you know what its like trying to leave Brookie at daycare." she stated giving alex a very stern look. "I promise...i'll have mini-satan back in a few minutes." he promised. Addison put Brooke's things back down on the chair & alex turned to leave with the little girl.
----------------------------------------
By the time alex found izzie she was finished with her patient. Perfect timing. he thought to himself and before he could open his mouth to speak Brookie chimed in. "AUNT IZZIE!!" the 3-year-old yelled as she flew out of alex's hands into izzie's. "Woah!" Izzie exclaimed as she caught the flying toddler in mid air. "What are you doin here Brookie?" she asked. "I wanted to see you and uncle alex." the little girl stated. "Oh yeah? Well where's your mommy?" izzie wondered. "She's in her office." alex explained. "I told her that I'd take Brooke to see you." he continued. "But we have to get mini-satan here back to her mother soon. She has to go to daycare." alex said looking at the little red headed girl. Brookie looked at him with her big blue eyes and said, "I dont wanna go to daycare. I wanna stay wiff you." Izzie rubbed Brooke's back and told her about how much fun she was going to have at daycare. "Uncle alex, mommy, daddy, and I are going to be busy. We cant' play with you right now." she explained. "But i promise that i will come and play with you at lunch time. ok?" izzie said. Brookie cheered up a little bit and gave izzie a big hug. "But I have to get back to work now sweetie. Uncle alex is gonna take you back to your mom." she told brooke, handing her back over to alex. "O-tayy." Brookie said sadly. "I love you Brookie." Izzie told her. "I wove you too." Brookie replied smiling. Izzie went back to work and alex took brooke back to her mom. "Alright my little blue-eyed-beauty. Uncle alex needs to get back to work also." He told the little girl as he gave her a kiss on the forehead & hugged her. "o-tay i wove you!" Brooke told her 'uncle' as she hugged and kissed him back. Alex handed the little girl back to her mother. "Thank you for coming to see her Alex. Thats all she's been talking about all morning." addison jokes. "No problem. You know how much I love her." alex responded. "I know. And she loves you just as much." addison replies as she looks at Brookie. "You all ready for daycare?" she asks. Brookelyn nods sadly. She loves her parents very much and is very attached to them. She hates spending time away from them, even if she's at the hospital's daycare. Addison rubs her daughters back, thanks alex again, and goes upstairs to drop Brookie off.
------------------------------------------
Addison stepped into the daycare with a sleepy Brookie, who was not too keen on the idea of being left with strangers. Addison put Brooke's things in a cubby hole and set her down on the ground. Brooke rubbed her eyes. "Ok baby. Mommy has to go work." she starts handing brooke her stuffed lion and pulling at the little girls shirt. "I want you to be a good girl for me and I will be back to get you in a few hours." she finishes. Brooke looks at her mother sadly, her blue eyes begin to fill with tears. "I dont want u to go mommy." she tell addison. Addison can clearly tell her daughter is tired. "Do you want me to lay with you for a little while? Will that make you feel better?" she asked, feeling a little guilty about working while her daughter was at such a young age. Brookie nodded and put her hands up. Addison lifed the little girl and took her to the rocking chair in the corner of the room. It was times like this when had thought about giving up her job for a few years, until her daughter was in school full time. Afterall, its not as if they needed the money. But Addison loved her job so much. She wasnt sure if she could take a few years off. She sat and rocked her daughter, playing with beautiful red curls. Brookelyn put her thumb in her mouth and rested her head against Addison's sholder. Shortly after Brookie was asleep. Addison layed her down on a mat and covered her up with a blanket, giving her a kiss on the forehead before heading back to work.
