Lauren trailed behind Arizona as she checked on patients in the NICU and the two of them were going over case studies while she did that. Lauren had come to realise that the woman never stopped. She was always doing something or throwing herself into some big case or involved in some teaching exercise. Dr. Robbins had just presented a case about a premature infant who was delivered at thirty-one weeks who had a series of complications that seemed to get worse no matter what course of treatment Lauren presented.

Dr. Robbins took off her stethoscope and hung it around her neck as she looked at Lauren. "Lauren, you have to look at the ultrasound before baby is delivered. That way you know what's going to happen once that baby is born. Because once it's out of the cozy protection of its mother's womb it's going to be up to you to make sure that baby remains healthy and okay."

"Yes, Dr. Robbins," Lauren said before letting out small sigh. She probably would have asked about the pre-delivery ultrasound had she been more focused, but she wasn't. Bo hadn't called her and the gentleman that she spoke with earlier hadn't called her back either. Lauren was beginning to think that they weren't going to be JD's foster parents. That thought caused Lauren's chest to tighten and she pushed the troubling thought from her mind. Instead she focused on going over cases with Dr. Robbins.

The two of them were almost done in the NICU when Lauren got a page. Arizona glanced at her and chuckled. "Who could be paging you? I'm here."

Lauren unclipped the pager from the pocket of her scrub pants and when she saw who was paging her, she frowned. It was the nurse's station. Thinking that it was Bo wanting to deliver the bad news herself Lauren shook her head and smiled. "It's just the nurse's station. I think it's just Bo."

Arizona let out a small laugh then remarked, "You two are adorable. Callie and I were like that once, but it all fades once you're married and have kids." She flashed Lauren a quick grin. "But I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world." She waved for Lauren to follow her. "Come on. Your next patient is a sixteen year old male and his primary complaints are abdominal pain, fever, and vomiting. When you do his physical exam he has some tenderness in the lower right quadrant of his abdomen. What do you do?"

Lauren drew in a breath then started to go through all the steps that she would do to diagnosis the boy. She was in the middle of possibly doing getting a CT scan of his abdomen when her pager went off again. Dr. Robbins looked at her with an irritated look and Lauren began to apologise. "I'm sorry Dr. Robbins. It's not that I don't want to learn it's just-" She looked at her pager and saw the urgent code. Lauren double checked it then shook her head. "Dr. Robbins, I don't know what's going on but I'm being paged to the nurse's station. This time it's a nine-one-one."

Dr. Robbins secured the blanket around the infant that she was examining then began to head for the doors of the NICU at a fast pace. "Then we will go find out what's going on. Let's go Lauren."

Lauren followed after the woman and the two of them headed for the stairs. The paediatric floor was below the NICU so it wasn't that far of a walk. When they got to the floor they rushed to the station. As they approached it Lauren didn't see Bo, but there was a man in a suit standing by it. Her heart started to race harder as they came to a stop. Dr. Robbins looked at the nurse and demanded, "Why are you paging Dr. Lewis nine-one-one? I am her superior you page me first."

The woman manning the desk pointed at the gentleman in the suit. "This lawyer said it was important that he talked to her."

Lauren looked at the well dressed man and he smirked. "I'm not a lawyer ma'am. I am the intern of a lawyer." He held out a brown envelope towards Lauren and said, "This is for you."

Lauren took the envelope and her eyebrows furrowed. "What is this?"

"Don't know ma'am. I was told to get this to you." He gave her a quick wave. "Have a good day."

Lauren watched as he left the floor. She still had no idea what he was doing here. Lauren shook her head and examined the envelope that was in her hand before she opened it. The nurse behind the desk said, "Dr. Robbins, social services called and they said that baby John Doe will be picked up by his foster parents."

"His foster parents?" Arizona repeated, sounding confused by the news. "That's strange. They usually pick up the kid and take them to their foster home," she said more to herself than to anyone in particular.

Lauren pulled out the paperwork that was in the envelope and began to read it. Her mouth slowly fell open as she read the document. She and Bo we're JD's foster parents. It would be temporary if they didn't get the supporting documents to the courts, but as of this moment, he was going to go home with them. Lauren couldn't stop the tears that started to fall from her eyes. She was going to be that sweet, precious little boy's foster mom. Lauren covered her mouth with her hand. She drew in several shaky breaths as she tried to get control of her emotions, but she wasn't able to and more tears rolled down her cheeks. "Lauren are you all right?" Dr. Robbins asked with some concern.

She nodded and tried to figure out the words to say but she wasn't able to. Then Bo came walking through the double doors of the paediatric floor, making Lauren loose whatever control that she was trying to hold on to. Bo rushed over to her and wrapped her arms around her. Lauren let out a soft sob and Bo rubbed her back as she murmured, "Come on let's go talk."

Lauren nodded against her shoulder and Bo guided her away from the nurses' station as she tried to get her crying under control. The two of them walked into the small conference room and Bo closed the door. She helped Lauren into one of the chairs then leaned against the edge of the conference table and blew out a heavy breath. Lauren reached for the box of tissues that was on the table and pulled one out so that she could wipe her eyes when Bo started talking. "I was walking out of here earlier and I kept thinking about you and that baby." Lauren looked at Bo just as she chuckled and shook her head. "You looked so damn happy and I had never seen that look on your face before. Then I realised what it was." She sighed and looked at Lauren with nothing but pure adoration shining in her eyes. "You want to be his mother, Lauren."

Lauren stared at Bo for a moment then she chuckled as she started to say, "I don't want to be his-"

"Yes, you do," Bo interjected as pushed off the table. There was a smile on her face as she continued. "There is this look that all moms have when they look at their kids. It's like there's this innate feeling or something that tells them that the baby in their arms is theirs." She chuckled. "I saw you standing there defying Arizona and begging me to push through a rush on us becoming his foster parents." Bo chuckled a little. "You were protecting him and doing everything possible for him. You were being his mother." She let out an exasperated breath and said, "We have to give him a proper name because I can't keep calling him, him."

Lauren chuckled and said, "I've been calling him JD, but your mom - who I laid into by the way - is adamant about not having a grandson named after a brand of whiskey."

Bo let out a small laugh and nodded. "I wouldn't let that fly either." She smiled. "You have to talk to Arizona."

Lauren groaned and told her, "She is not going to be happy about this one."

Bo chuckled a little then bent down so that she could give Lauren a brief kiss. "She isn't but you will be and that's all I care about."

Lauren smiled then it fell and she bit the corner of her lip. "How are we going to make this work Bo?"

Bo grinned. "We'll make it work." She gave Lauren another kiss. "Let's go take our son home."

Hearing Bo call JD their son sent a wave of euphoria over Lauren and she couldn't stop the wide smile that broke out on her face. He was going to go home with them. Lauren's eyes widened as a realization hit her as she stood up from the chair that she was sitting in. "Bo we don't have a car seat, or a crib, or anything. We have nothing."

Bo placed her hands on Lauren's shoulders. "Take a breath, love." Lauren did and Bo chuckled a little. "We don't have anything, but that's what stores are for."

Lauren drew in another breath then she let out a small breathless laugh. She was certain that wasn't going to be her last freak out in regards to JD. She took another breath then frowned a little. "I have to talk to Arizona."

Bo nodded and said, "You do, but you have to get it over with eventually." Lauren pouted. She wasn't looking forward to this conversation. The two of them headed for the door and Bo kissed her cheek then whispered, "I'll be in Paul's room." Lauren furrowed her eyebrows and Bo said, "JD. I'm trying out some names."

Lauren grimaced and shook her head. "No. That's a terrible name."

Bo gawked at her then chuckled. "My father's middle name was Paul." Lauren cringed and Bo gave her a brief kiss. "It's okay. You're right. I don't like it either."

Lauren chuckled then sighed. "I really don't want to talk to Arizona. I'm already on her shit list because I spent all night with JD and the whole attachment thing."

Bo laughed then told her, "Go or she will come looking for you."

Lauren groaned then she gave Bo a kiss before two of them left the conference room. Lauren walked over to the nurse's station while Bo walked to JD's room. She asked where Dr. Robbins was and the nurse manning the desk told her that she was in one of the patient's room. Lauren thanked her and headed for the room. As she walked to it Lauren steeled her nerves for the anger and backlash that she was about to receive, but then she thought about JD and a small smile came to her face. It was going to be worth it.

Lauren reached the doorway of the room and one of Dr. Robbins's residents was going over a patient so she waited until they were done. After they had gone over the surgery plan and answered the parents' questions, Dr. Robbins and her three residents walked out. Arizona looked at her and asked, "Is everything all right?"

Lauren nodded. "It's fine but do you have a moment so that I can speak with you?"

Arizona gave a slight nod and the two of them went into the small office that was located behind the nurses' station. She closed the door and crossed her arms over her chest. "What's going on Lauren?"

Lauren drew in a deep breath then dove in head first. "Bo and I are going to be John Doe's foster parents."

Arizona stared at her for a second then she started to laugh. Lauren hadn't been expecting her to laugh so it scared her. When Arizona finally caught her breath she found out why the woman was laughing. "No you aren't. That is a long vetting process and it takes at least six months before they place a child with you. And that's after a process which could take more than a year to get through."

Lauren sighed. She didn't want to explain how she and Bo had found a work around within the system but it was unavoidable. "Bo's mom knows a lawyer who was able to get an injunction in place so that we could take him while they're doing the background and financial checks."

Arizona gawked at her then asked, "You're not joking?" Lauren shook her head. Arizona stood there with a stunned expression on her face. Lauren was pretty certain that she had fried one of the neurological pathways that were in the woman's brain. Then Arizona lost it. "Do you know how unethical, unprofessional, and way out of line this is Lauren?" Lauren went to go answer but Arizona held up her hand. "No. Don't speak. I will be speaking with the coordinator about this and I'm certain disciplinary action will be taken. I can't believe you. Of all the med students, hell even out of my residents, I thought I could count on you to maintain professionalism."

Lauren shook her head and argued, "This has nothing to do with my professionalism. Yes, I've crossed a line, I will own up to that a thousand times over, but this has nothing do with my professionalism. It is more about the fact that that child will be in no better care than with me and Bo. I've been in his corner since he was admitted and I refuse to see get bounced around in some system that will have no regard for him."

Arizona glowered at Lauren then she drew in a deep breath. "Go home Lauren. I will have the coordinator call you once we have spoken." She moved closer to Lauren and added in a low voice, "I can tell you one thing though, you will not be coming back to my department."

Lauren returned the hard stare that the woman pinning her down with. Arizona refusing to have her in her department was going to make things complicated for Lauren in regards to her clerkships, but she wasn't going to argue it because she stood by her decision. She turned and walked out of the office then made her way to JD's room.

Lauren walked into the room and found Bo looking over the top of the crib that JD was in. Seeing the small smile on Bo's face alleviated some of the tension that she was feeling from her conversation with Arizona. Lauren walked over to where Bo was standing then rested her head on her shoulder. Bo kissed the top of his head and said, "We're really doing this huh?"

Lauren nodded. "Yep." She sighed. "Arizona has kicked me out of her department and she's going to be calling the coordinator."

Bo wrapped her arm around her waist and gave her a squeeze. "I'm sorry. Do you know what this means in regards to your clerkships?"

Lauren sighed again and looked down at JD who was sleeping peacefully. She grinned and said, "I'm not certain but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it." She lifted her and looked at Bo. "Let's take JD home."

Bo leaned in and gave her a quick kiss then as she moved back she said, "We can do that, but we have several problems that need to be addressed first. Our biggest one is that we don't have a car seat. Then there is the issue of it being the middle of winter and we don't have winter clothes for him, or blankets, or anything."

Lauren cringed. "That is a problem."

Bo chuckled then said, "It's not a big one though. If you don't mind sitting here for about an hour I'll go get him a car seat and also get him a few things to wear. Then after I come get you guys we can go back to the store and get the essentials because we don't have anything at the apartment." Bo snapped her fingers. "Oh, we need to get our financial records and other documents to the lawyer so that the family court can do our background checks and what not."

Lauren stood up straight and told her, "You'll have to talk to my parents on that one because I have everything sent to them. I think my dad handles it all."

Bo got a playful scowl on her face. "You should be handling your own finances, Lauren. You're an adult."

Lauren shrugged and remarked, "They told me not to worry about it since I'm focused on school. So I didn't and we didn't change anything after we came to Boston. Also you're primary on our household account. I don't really do anything except make sure that the bills are paid on time." She gave Bo a sheepish smile. "I should probably learn how all this works huh?"

Bo held up her hand and there was a little bit of space between her index finger and thumb. "Just a little bit. We also need to get your college crap because going through that is going to be a nightmare in a few years."

Lauren scrunched up her face. She didn't want to think about her student loans and whatever else. Grants and scholarships did enough but they didn't cover everything. She shook her head and said, "Don't. We'll worry about it later. We'll just get what we need for becoming JD's foster parents then the rest I'll deal with at a more appropriate time."

Bo chuckled then she kissed Lauren's temple. "Yes you can. All right, I'll be back in an hour. Don't get in trouble."

Lauren let out a small snort as Bo headed for the door and remarked, "I've already taken in an abandoned baby that was under my care so I don't think I can get into much more trouble." She snapped her fingers softly. "Wait, I could kill a patient."

Bo turned and scowled at her. "That's not funny Lauren."

Lauren grinned. "Oh, come on Bo, it was a little funny." Bo continued to scowl at her. "Bo, I need to laugh because if I think too much I'll start freaking out about being kicked out of Harvard Medical School." The smile on Lauren's face fell as she thought about possibly being kicked out of medical school. "Oh my god. I could possibly get kicked out of medical school. Oh my-"

"No, Lauren, you do not need to go there." Bo moved to where she was standing and placed her hands on Lauren's shoulders. "They will not kick you out for this. This may have an effect on your clerkships but not on your schooling," Bo said trying to reassure her.

Lauren sighed and before she could say anything JD started to whimper. She moved away from Bo so that she could pick up JD. She rubbed his back and kissed the side of his head as she murmured, "It's okay. You'll be out of here in a little while. We'll get you home and in a nice comfy bed." She glanced at Bo and smirked. "But you will only have those things if your other mother doesn't go get you them. Or at least a car seat."

Bo laughed then she kissed Lauren's cheek. "I get it. I get it. I will be back."

"Okay. We'll be here."

Bo looked at them for a moment longer then a huge smile came to her face. "I love you."

Lauren returned the smile. "I love you too."

Bo left and Lauren rubbed JD's back as she mumbled, "Let's go talk to Dr. Robbins and see what she says about us hanging out here until Bo gets back." She walked out of JD's room and headed for the nurse's station. She asked the woman behind the desk, "Is it okay if we hang out here until Bo gets back?"

The nurse nodded. "Of course Dr. Lewis." She then glanced to her right before she added, "But I would stay off of Dr. Robbins's radar."

Lauren chuckled and told the woman, "I have no plans to be on her radar for the rest of the day."

Lauren went back to JD's room and she sat down in the rocking chair. As she rocked JD she pulled out her phone and sent Bo a text to remind her to get a hat for JD when she gets him clothes. Once she sent the text she closed her eyes and smiled. She was happy and content, despite the threat to her education, but that was something that she wasn't going to deal with at the moment.

A few minutes later Lauren heard someone rushing down the hall and she opened her eyes. Lexie came running into the room and she gasped. "So it's true then?"

Lauren chuckled and asked, "What's true? Because I'm certain you've heard the crappiest version of what's been told."

Lexie gaped at her then said, "You stole a baby and went off on an attending."

Lauren let out a small laugh. It was close enough since she did go off on Arizona. "I didn't steal a baby. Bo's mom had one of her lawyer friends put through a rush injunction so that we could become this child's foster parents. But I did go off on Arizona and she's going to be talking to the coordinator."

"Holy shit," Lexie exclaimed as she sat down on the exam stool. She scooted closer to the rocking chair. "You seem to be okay for someone whose education is hanging in the balance."

Lauren glanced at the sleeping baby that was sleeping on her shoulder. She smiled. "I'm okay because he's okay."

Lexie was silent for a moment then she chuckled. "Did you really just say that?"

Lauren nodded and laughed a little. "I did." She looked at Lexie. "I don't know what it is about him Lex but he has stolen my heart the moment he came into the ER." Lauren sighed. "I just want to protect him from all the bad in this world. Someone gave him up and they did it before they were able to do any damage to him. He's too young to remember this and I'm going to make sure that he has nothing but good in his life from here on out."

Lexie made a soft clicking noise with her tongue then said, "Aw, Lauren. He's going to be the luckiest little boy in the world."

Lauren chuckled and said, "I don't know about that but I'm sure going to make sure that he feels that way." She sighed. "Hey can you do me a favour?" Lexie nodded. "Bo went to go get a car seat and some decent winter clothes for him and I don't want to leave JD alone. Can you go to the locker room and get my bag? I figure I'll do some research while she's gone."

Lexie stood up from the stool. "Sure thing. I should be back in a few minutes."

Lauren thanked her as she walked of the room then she looked down at JD. She was going to try to get as much work done as possible because now that a baby was living with them Lauren was certain that her time was going to be taken up by him. Not that she minded. She was actually happy to give JD all her time. He deserved it.

Confusion was written all over Bo's face as she gawked at the car seats in front of her. There were at least four different types, in twelve different designs, and she was starting to feel overwhelmed by it all. Bo chewed on her bottom lip as her eyes went from one seat to another. She had two degrees, a doctorate in sociology, and several certifications pertaining to her being a sex educator - so why she couldn't figure out which car seat to get for a baby was baffling to her. The store associate came over to her and asked, "Ma'am, did you need some help?"

Bo looked at the young woman standing to her left and she couldn't get rid of the stunned expression that was on her face. "Why are there so many of them?"

The young woman chuckled a little then wondered, "First time parent?" Bo nodded. "Ah, so we'll be looking for a newborn car seat?"

Bo glanced at the car seat displays in front of her then back at the associate. "Yeah, I guess." She shook her head and sighed. "I mean, I don't know." The woman stifled a laugh and Bo chuckled a little. "It's okay, you can laugh. It's pretty funny."

"It is. Why are you worried about car seats now?" She gestured towards Bo. "You're not even showing."

Bo let out a genuine laugh then as she caught her breath she said, "I'm not pregnant. My fiancée and I have just become the foster parents of an adorable baby boy." She pointed to the car seats. "Hence the car seat shopping and me not knowing a damn thing."

The young woman nodded, now understanding Bo's predicament. "I see now. Well the best guide for this situation is knowing the baby's length and weight." Bo chewed on her bottom lip in apprehension. "You don't know?"

Bo huffed in exasperation. She didn't know. She was already failing as a parent. Bo shook her head and tried not to let her self-doubt bother her. "I don't, but give me one moment and I will find out this information. Your name?"

The young woman stuck out her hand and said, "Hannah."

Bo smiled and took hold of her hand then shook it. "Hi Hannah. I'm Bo, and my fiancée's name is Lauren. Our son's name is currently JD but that will be changing."

Hannah giggled and told her, "I hope you two will figure that one out sooner than later. But take your time, Bo, and we will get your son whatever he needs. And if we don't have it we'll get ordered."

Bo grinned at her. Hannah seemed like she was a very capable young woman and would be able to get Bo through the most confusing thing that she had ever been through. Bo nodded and said, "I like that attitude, Hannah. Give me one moment and I will get that information. Do we need to know anything further? Because I also need to get him clothes."

Hannah shook her head. "Nope once we get his weight we'll be able to get some decent clothes and also the perfect car seat."

Bo shook her finger at Hannah. "See? That is a can-do attitude that I can appreciate." She went into her pocket to get her phone. Bo pulled it out then called Lauren.

The phone rang a few times then it was answered. "Yes Isabeau?"

Bo smirked. She had an inappropriate response to Lauren calling her by her full name. "We have a child now doctor so that is highly inappropriate."

"Professor, I didn't think you knew the meaning of the word inappropriate," Lauren remarked with a small chuckle.

Bo grinned and told her, "I know a lot of words, Dr. Lewis. However that's not why I called you. I need to know how much -," she stopped. Then with some reluctance she continued, "JD, we need to get him a new name, weighs?"

Lauren laughed a little. "Nine pounds and one ounce. I would say newborn clothes would fit him, but he's a little long. Twenty-four inches. The kid is going to play basketball or something." Bo chuckled and Lauren got back on topic. "Get him whatever size is after newborn. We just need enough clothes to get him through the next couple weeks. I don't see us going out too much with him."

"Uh...what are we going to do when one of us has to do something?" Bo asked as she wandered around the car seat aisle.

Lauren hummed then said, "I can try to put him in day care at the school but I'm pretty certain that's harder to get into than Harvard itself." She clicked her tongue. "However my academic career may be nonexistent so we might not even have to worry-"

"Lauren..."

Bo heard Lauren let out a breath. "I know. I know. I'm not going to worry about it until I hear from the coordinator." She sighed. "Get him a coat he can grow into for the next couple months then we'll go get him a new one if need be, but hopefully it'll be spring by the time he grows out of it. Get him a nice blanket too."

Bo chuckled. "I will get him a nice blanket. Now do you want me to get formula now or when we come back later?"

Lauren was quiet a moment then before she replied, "We'll get formula when we go back. He's still got a couple of those premade bottles to use. So just get him an outfit, a coat, a blanket and a car seat."

Bo nodded. It sounded simple enough when Lauren put it that way but then she realised that they needed to come back and get even more stuff for JD. Bo shook her head. "We need a name. He needs a name, Lauren."

Lauren chuckled and told her, "We'll talk about it when you get here."

Bo sighed and when she spoke her again her voice was soft, and full of doubt. "Do you think we can do this?"

Lauren was quiet then Bo heard her draw in a deep breath before she said, "We didn't think we could do a lot of things, Bo. We didn't think we could survive being separated for nine months."

"We didn't. We broke up and you spent three months in Italy with me," Bo pointed out.

Bo heard Lauren sigh. "That is true but we dealt with it. We also thought we couldn't get through you travelling back and forth to Italy and a whole bunch of other stuff." She chuckled. "Bo, we survived. Mylo fits in with us. He's a survivor. Yes, we're going to screw up even though were both perfectionists - you're more of a lazy perfectionist, but a perfectionist nonetheless. No matter what we do he's going to be fine and we can do this." She chuckled. "Then when the next one comes along we'll know what not to do."

Bo grinned like an idiot as she thought about her and Lauren having more kids. She let out a small laugh then wondered, "Mylo?"

"Yes, Mylo. He looks like a Mylo and he's got a Mylo personality," Lauren said sounding confident in her name choice.

Bo tossed the name around in her head for a few seconds then she remarked, "Mylo it is. Though I don't think you mother-in-law-"

Lauren scoffed. "Oh my mother-in-law can say whatever she would like. It is not up to her. It is up to us. I'm tired of Aife doing the things that she has been doing."

Bo pressed her lips together. She was surprised that Lauren had lasted this long in regards to her mother. She was becoming a bit more overbearing here lately and Lauren didn't do well with overbearing. It annoyed her. "And we shall tell her that. Is Mylo as far as you got or do you have the rest?"

Lauren chuckled and told her, "I may have the rest figured out but you will need to get back here so we can talk about it."

Bo took a deep breath then blew it out. "All right, all right. I'll get the car seat, blanket, an outfit, and a coat."

"Sounds like a good idea."

Bo laughed a little then said, "Okay I will do that. See you in a few."

She heard the smile in Lauren's voice when she said, "I'll see you in a few. Love you."

Bo smirked. "Love you too."

The call ended and drew in a deep breath through her nose then she turned on her heel to look at Hannah. "Car seat, coat, outfit, and a blanket. That's all I'm supposed to get."

Hannah gave her a thumbs up. "Okay we have plan."

Bo nodded. "That we do." She took another breath and slowly let it out. All she had to do was buy these few items then she would get back to Lauren. Who would hopefully have some idea as to what to else they would need to buy.

Lauren rocked the chair slowly as she fed Mylo and read her research notes. There was a small smile on her face and Lauren was completely content and happy. She jumped a little when she hears someone say, "So this is the little guy who got Arizona's panties in a twist."

Lauren looked up and a dark haired woman with a bright smile on her face was walking into Mylo's room. "Who are you?"

The woman smiled at Lauren and walked closer to the rocking chair. "Callie Torres. Arizona's wife. I had to come see the reason for why she was ranting and raving." Callie pouted her lips and waved her finger at Mylo. She grinned and said, "He is too precious. I supported your decision to take him in and told her that what you're doing was an admirable thing. She called me a bleeding heart and I called her some unsavoury things in a language that she doesn't understand too well."

Lauren chuckled and said with some hesitance, "Thank you, I think."

"Oh, you should be thanking me." She grinned at Lauren then looked down at Mylo. "I'll have to do some things later-"

"Dr. Torres..."

"Oh right, impressionable med student." She pursed her lips as she looked at Mylo. "Aw he's so cute. I remember when ours were this small. Can I hold him?"

Lauren nodded and handed Mylo to her after she took the bottle out of his mouth. Lauren rolled the almost empty bottle between her hands and said, "Dr. Torres, thank you for coming in here and telling me that you stood up for me but that doesn't-"

"Have you thought of a name for him yet? Arizona told me that there was no information with him when they found him."

Lauren tried not to get aggravated with the woman for interrupting her. She watched as Dr. Torres walked around the room and jostled Mylo lightly in her arms. She was a little confused by why the woman was here but she answered her question anyway. "I was thinking Mylo Anthony."

Callie smiled at her and said, "That is a good name. Isn't that right little Mylo?" She made cute noises at the baby then she walked over to hand him back to Lauren. "She's not going to the coordinator."

"She-What?"

Lauren settled Mylo against her shoulder and Dr. Torres started to explain. "I talked her down. She's gone on about you ever since you started your peds clerkship. The doctors at the practice don't have a bad thing to say about you and Yvonne loves you. Since you've started your clerkships you've been a professional and haven't crossed any boundaries." She sighed then said, "This right here isn't about your professionalism or you as a doctor. It's about you as a person, and yeah you messed up in not separating you the doctor from you the person, but you'll deal with the consequences that Arizona will dish out. I'm not going to let her destroy your path because your heart led you to cross that line."

Lauren sat there stunned by what Callie was saying then she smiled at her. "Why did you do that?"

Callie chuckled then asked, "Why wouldn't I? You're sort of like me. Full of heart and care, your emotions tend to rule you." Lauren scoffed then Callie pointed at her. "I'm serious. You get involved with your patients and you take care of them. That's a good thing. You just need to not let something of this nature happen again."

Lauren chuckled then looked down at Mylo. "I think Mylo is an exception. I just saw him and I knew that he needed someone to love him."

Callie chuckled. "And I'm certain that you and Bo will." Lauren got a confused look on her face and Callie said, "Arizona, because she likes you, talks about you often and she told me about your girlfriend, or is it fiancée?"

"Fiancée," Lauren answered with a small smile on her face.

Callie nodded then asked, "Have you two started planning the wedding or decided on a date? Which I'm certain will now be a blast now that you guys will have him."

Lauren chuckled a little. Callie was pretty awesome and she was not the type of woman that she expected Dr. Robbins to be with. Callie was vivacious and free-spirited. Unlike Arizona who was a little more reserved unless she was excited. Lauren got up and walked over to the bed so that she could put Mylow in it. She turned to look at Callie. "We've decided on a few things. It's not going to be a big wedding so I'm certain Mylo won't have any effect on the planning. Although since Bo and I's moms are planning it I'm hoping he'll distract them enough."

Callie laughed softly and remarked, "Oh he will. Babies are like mom kryptonite. When I had Sofia it's like she absolved me of any wrong that I had done. Now our parents only nitpick at how we choose to raise our child and when we'll have another one."

Lauren's eyebrows furrowed. "Don't you guys already have two kids?"

Callie chuckled. "Yes we do but according to our mothers that isn't enough." The two of them laughed then as she caught her breath Callie warned, "Be ready for that. Once you have one they're always wanting more."

Lauren glanced over to the bed and smiled. "We'll probably have two more, but not for a little while. Got to get adjusted to him first."

Callie's pager went off and as she pulled it out to look at it she said, "And you will definitely have your hands full with him. I have to go, but it has been a pleasure to meet you Lauren. You should swing by ortho one day and see if I'm free for lunch. I can help you with your boards and get ready for your internships."

Lauren gave the woman a brief nod as a grateful smile came to her face. "Thank you, Dr. Torres. I would appreciate that."

Callie gave her bright smile. "Anytime, Lauren and please call me Callie." Her pager went off again and she sighed. "Well I have to go. I'll see you around." She jogged out of the room but came back to the doorway a second later and pointed at Lauren. "I was never here and you never saw me. Got it?"

Lauren nodded. "I got it Callie." The woman gave her another smile then jogged away from Mylo's room. Lauren felt so much better now that she knew Dr. Robbins wasn't going to be going to the coordinator. She just had to deal with the woman herself which could be torture. Dr. Robbins liked to tear into her residents when they pissed her off and Lauren knew that she wasn't going to be spared. She pulled her phone out of her pocket and frowned at it. Bo had been gone for more than an hour. Lauren hoped she was okay at the baby store. It was uncharted territory for Bo, and the woman normally took on challenges head on, however Lauren wasn't certain if she was going to be able to handle this one after their phone call earlier. She sighed and ran her hand over her hair as she made her way back to the rocking chair so that she could read her research notes. She wasn't going to worry too much, but if she didn't hear from Bo soon, she was going to.

Another forty-five minutes had gone by when Bo came into Mylo's room pushing an expensive looking stroller. Lauren placed her notepad in the book that she had been reading and closed it. "I told you four things and I see you've come back with more than those four things."

Bo held up a finger. "Let me explain my logic before you get on me."

"I thought you liked it when I was on you," Lauren quipped with a small grin.

A playful scowl came to Bo's face. "You know what I mean." She smiled. "You get very alluring when you get what you want."

Lauren chuckled as she moved closer to Bo. She slipped her hands inside her coat and placed them on her waist before leaning in to give her a quick kiss. Lauren hummed a little then murmured, "I may get alluring but I appreciate everything that you have done to make this happen." She smiled then gave Bo another kiss, making sure this one lasted longer than the last one.

Bo pulled back and smiled. "I had to do it. It felt wrong to do anything else." She kissed Lauren's forehead and Lauren's eyes fluttered closed at the contact. She opened them when Bo pulled back and said, "Now let me explain my madness to you, doctor. I got a car seat that came with a stroller because the idea of lugging that thing around with a baby inside was as attractive as Matt sitting on our couch all day in his boxers." Lauren cringed and shook her head. The analogy brought back memories of when he lived with her at the house when Bo had gone off to Italy. He liked to wander around the house in just his boxers when he thought he was alone, unfortunately that wasn't the case a lot of the time. Lauren brought her focus back to Bo. "And I got him a blanket, and some onsies, and bunch of other things that the associate at the store told me were 'diaper bag must haves.'"

Lauren shook her head. Bo never did anything in half-measured steps, and she also didn't do what she was told to do. So why Lauren thought she was going to come back with just four items was beyond her. She gave Bo another kiss then said, "I love you."

Bo smiled. "I love you too. So should we get him packed up and ready to go?"

Lauren nodded her head then moved to the stroller so that she could get the diaper bag that looked almost as expensive as the stroller. Lauren muttered to herself, "A diaper bag doesn't need to be stylish. It needs to be purposeful." She unzipped the bag and was quite impressed by how much it could hold. It looked like there was even still room for another blanket or two. Lauren pulled out a onsie and she smiled at the little animals on it. She couldn't believe how cute baby clothes were. Lauren moved on from that thought. She didn't want to start having other baby related thoughts.

There was a knock on the room door and Lauren looked over to see Dr. Robbins standing in the doorway holding a tray. "Can I come in?"

Lauren nodded. "Of course."

Arizona walked into the room and went over the counter to set the tray down. She turned to Lauren and there was a polite smile on her face. "I want to apologise for how I responded earlier. It was a quick reaction but now that I've had some time to think about it I can see that this isn't about you crossing a line. I mean it is, but it isn't. Either way, I'm not going to go to the coordinator but I will be keeping a closer eye on you."

Lauren gave a quick nod. "Thank you Dr. Robbins and I'm sorry I put you in this position but I couldn't let him be placed in the system. I'm sure they would have found him a good home, but I-I couldn't let that happen."

"I understand Lauren. I know he will be well taken care of by you and Bo." She turned back to the counter then picked up the clipboard that had some paperwork on it. "We need a name for him as well as your authorization to give him some newborn immunizations. Without records we want to make sure he's covered."

Lauren took the clipboard and said, "Absolutely." She slid the pen off the clip and she was about to fill out the form when she looked up at Bo. "We need to discuss his name."

Bo grinned. "We do. I like Mylo so what's the rest?"

Lauren smirked and told her, "Anthony. Mylo Anthony Dennis."

Bo's grin turned into a wide smile. "My dad's name?" Lauren nodded and Bo chuckled. "I think it's a great name. Matt's going to be upset though."

Lauren chuckled. "Forget about Matt. He can be commemorated by the next one. "

Bo chuckled again then she walked over to Lauren to give her a kiss. Arizona cleared her throat then said, "I hate to break this up but we need the paperwork done so we can get it to social services."

"Of course, Dr. Robbins," Lauren said as she grinned at Bo.

She went about filling out the paperwork and Arizona said, "Bo can you bring me little Mylo so I can give him his shots."

Lauren heard Bo let out an apprehensive hum and she looked up at her. There was a sceptical expression on her face and Lauren bit her bottom lip as she tried not to laugh. She took a deep breath then asked, "Bo, what's the matter? Just pick him up. It's okay if he wakes up."

Bo glanced at the crib then looked back at Lauren. "I don't think I can."

Lauren put the pen back on the clipboard and bit the inside of her cheek to keep herself from laughing. "You don't think you can? He'll be okay Bo. Just pick him up."

Again, Bo glanced in the crib then turned to Lauren and there was a slight panic look in her eyes that stopped Lauren from finding the situation funny. "What if I hurt him?"

Lauren stared at Bo for a second then she shook her head. She was being adorable right now and ridiculous. She sighed then stood up from the rocking chair. Lauren put the clipboard in the chair then walked over to the crib to take Mylo out of it. He whimpered a little but once he was close against her he quieted down. She raised an eyebrow at Bo. "Hold out your arms." She looked at the baby and Lauren couldn't fight the grin the broke out on her face. "Are you telling me that you don't want to hold your son because of your irrational fear of hurting him?"

"He's tiny, Lauren, and requires a lot of bodily support," Bo pointed out sounding slightly offended that Laruen was finding the situation amusing.

Lauren drew in a breath so that she wouldn't upset her further then said, "He is, but he's also not fragile. Now hold out your arms."

Bo reluctantly held out her arms and Lauren carefully put Mylo in them, positioning her arm so that she was supporting his head, then she said, "See, look? You're holding him."

Bo brought the baby's closer to her body and there was a wide grin on her face. That grin melted Lauren's heart more than the number of times Bo had said something that took her breath away. Lauren stood there and watched Bo with Mylo. There were so many emotions going through her about the moment and Lauren pulled her phone out of her pocket so that she could take a picture of Bo and Mylo. She was going to print it out and hang it up in their apartment because the look of happiness that was on Bo's face made Lauren happy. They had made the right choice in doing this.

Arizona walked over to them and she was holding up a syringe. Bo eyed the needle and said, "That is an awfully big needle for a such a tiny person."

Lauren chuckled and Arizona reassured her. "It'll be okay Bo. Granted, I don't think either of us will be prepared enough for the crying that will ensue, but regardless, it needs to be done."

Arizona moved closer to a still sceptical Bo and prepared the area on Mylo's thigh then she stuck him with the neddle. The crying wasn't instantaneous, it took a couple of seconds, but when it began Mylo wasn't shy about showing his displeasure. Bo shushed at him while Lauren rubbed his head, the both of them whispering words of comfort to him even though he was going to remain upset for the next several minutes. Arizona walked over to the counter then told them, "He should be fine in a half hour or so. If he doesn't I would say a small dose, and I mean like a drop, of baby Motrin should help him get through the pain." She pointed at the rocking chair. "Finish those so you can get out of here."

Lauren nodded then she kissed the top of Mylo's head before she said to Bo, "Rock him in the chair while I finish the paperwork."

Bo nodded then headed to the chair while Lauren finished the paperwork. When she was done with the paperwork, Lauren took it to the reception desk then went back to Mylo's room. "We have to get him dressed to go."

Bo looked up at Lauren. "Uh...am I doing that?"

Lauren chuckled then walked over to the stroller so that she could get a clean onesie for Mylo and a pair of pants for him. She walked over to Bo and took him then went over to the crib. She dressed him and he whimpered through it but Mylo didn't put up too much of a fuss. Bo was watching over her shoulder and Lauren chuckled. "Did you learn something?"

Bo kissed her cheek and said, "Yes I did. He's not that fragile is he?"

Lauren shook her head. "Not really. Did you get him a hat because his ears need to be covered." She picked up Mylo and held him out for Bo to take. Bo was hesitant to take him but she did and she held him up to her shoulder. Lauren grinned. "See? You're becoming a natural."

Bo grinned at her as she rubbed Mylo's back. She kissed the side of his head then said, "Go get your stuff together so we can leave."

Lauren chuckled then said, "We have to stop by the intern locker room before we leave. I need to grab some books."

Bo nodded then Lauren packed up the few belongings that Mylo had before getting her research stuff together. Then the three of them left the paediatric floor. Lauren was excited for them to get Mylo his own bed and get home. It was going to be a busy night for her and Bo but it was something that was going to be worth it. As they rode the elevator down to the floor that housed the interns' lounge Lauren looked at Mylo who was sleeping peacefully in the carrier. She smiled and took hold of Bo's hand. When she had envisioned starting a family with Bo she had been expecting to be out of med school, and almost done with her residency. She wasn't close to finishing either of those things, but she couldn't be happier. This way was perfect.

I'm not going to rock the boat too much in regards to this Mylo thing. He is a done deal in my head, but will I use him to create drama? Oh yeah, I will. Not too much, but just enough. Thanks for reading and reading this thing.
