Diclaimer: I don't own Grey's Anatomy, end of story!
A/N: Sorry about the wait for this chapter. My muse decided to desert me right in the middle of this fic, but he has returned!
Izzie stood outside the SGH nursery, staring at the newest member of the O'Malley family, Emma. Crossing her arms she muttered softly. "She doesn't deserve you or your father." She stared hard at the sleeping infant and didn't notice anything around her. "Izzie, you shouldn't be here." someone said behin her. Izzie turned her head and found Cristina standing there. "Go away Cristina." she said, turning her attention back to Emma. "If George finds you here he will flip. You'd better go before he does." Izzie just ignored her and continued her staring. Cristina just rolled her eyes and tried pulling Izzie away from the window. Izzie pulled away and tired blocking Cristina out. "Izzie, she and Callie are going home today. You have to leave before George comes to get her." Cristina explained. "They don't deserve her. She should be mine, not Callie's." she responded, placing her hand on the cool glass. Cristina stood there in shock at what Izzie had said.
"Get the hell away from her!" George yelled, from the end of the hall. He was furious that Izzie had come this close to his daughter. Cristin thought it best to leave and she made a run for it in the other direction. "I'm not hurting her George." izzie protested. "I don't care! I told you to stay away from me and my family. And in case you have forgotten, Emma is a part of that family. Or are you too naieve to realize that?" he said, glring at her. His fists were balled at his sides. He wasn't ready to cross the line of hitting a woman but izzie was damn near close to getting it.Izzie placed her hand on his shoulder in hopes to calm him. He pushed her away. 'Don't touch me. Get away from us. I never want to see you anywhere near my daughter or my wife. If I do, so help me Izzie!." he said, opening the door to the nursery. Izzie started to protest but was met with the nursery door slammed in her face. izzie walked back to the window and watched as George picked up his daughter. A single tear fell from her eye, as she walked away heartbroken but she still had a few plans up her sleeve to make George hers.
"How's daddy's little princess this morning?" she asked as he cuddled Emma in his arms. "Are you ready to go see ommy? You know she's quite anxious to take you home." she said, in a soothing voice that earn a small smile from the half-sleeping infant. George smiled proudly as his daughter smiled at him. He gently kissed the top of her head. "Come on angel, lets go see mommy." he said, and left the nursery. George found Callie out of bed, dressed and walking around the room gathering everything. He smiled and looked down at Emma. She was awake and staring at him with her green eyes. "Mommy's silly." he whispered. He looked on the bed and there laid Emma's first outfit change. "Cal, someone's awake and anxious to see her mommy." he said, from the doorway. callie smiled widely and dropped the bag she had and walked over to George. He gently placed Emma in her arms, and went to finish what Callie had started. "where's your mother?" he asked, picking up a t-shirt. "She went to the house, to make sure everything was ready for us to come home." she said walking over to the bed. Callie laid Emma on the bed and unwrapped the blanket. She removed the t-shirt on her, and put the dress on her. She scooped Emma back up and craddled her with one arm, and with the other she pulled off the pink cap and gently smoothed out Emma's jet black hair, then kissed the top of her head. "How does she look, daddy?" she asked. George looked up from what he was doing and smiled at them both. "She's beautiful, as is her mother." he said. Callie looked up from Emma and grinned at George. He walked over to them and softly caressed Emma's head. He kissed the top of her head then kissed Callie.
Addison getnly rapped against the door."How are my two favorite patients?" she asked, walking into the room. George broke the kiss and turned to Addison. "We're perfect." Callie told her. Addison walked up to Calie and Emma and touched Emma's hand. She beautiful Cal." she said with a warming smile. "May I?" she asked. Callie laughed a little. "Addison, you never have to ask to hold her." she said, placing Emma in Addison's open arms. Addison walked over to the chair and sat down in it as she held the tiny girl. She looked up at Callie and asked. "Are you going to continue to breastfeed her?"
Callie shook her head. "No, I decided that it's best to bottle feed her now, before I go back to work. I don't want to get her used to me then have to pull her off." she esplain, disappointed. Callie had enjoyed that bond with her daughter, but she knew this was for the best. Emma began to wake up and whimper. Calliesmiled and took Emma from Addison. "Do you have any bottles?" Addison asked. "Yeah, we started her on it last night. She actually took to it better than I thought she would. I've already packed them. They are in her diaper bag if you want to grab me one." she said, pointing to the bag that Cristina and Burkse had gotten for her. Addison nodded and went to the bag and grabbed a bottle and gave it to Callie. Sitting on the bed, Callie gave the bottle to Emma and she began to eat. Addison smiled at how quickly Callie went into mother mode. Just 2 months ago, Callie was her normal independant self, throwing herself into her work. Now she looked at a proud mother. Addison was jealous of Callie. She couldn't have children and was devastated by it. She had her chance to have a aby but she had aborted that child. There were only two people in the world that knew about that baby, Callie and Mark. Callie was also the only person that knew about Addison inability to have a baby. Granted she could spoil little Emma beyond belief but it just wasn't the same.
"Addie?" Callie asked,
noticing she was in her own little world. Addison shook her head.
"Yeah?" she respnded. "Are you ok?"
"Oh,
I'm fine. Pay no attention to me, just focus on that beautiful baby."
Callie nodded but she knew something was up. Lukily Emma had finished her bottle and Callie took the bottle away from Emma, which cause a protest from the small girl. Callie placed Emma on her shoulder and gently patted her back. Emma stopped her protest and settled into her mother's arms. Soon Emma burped and it was followed by spit up all down the front of Callie's shirt. "So much for wanting her to look cute when we take her home." Callie laughed. She pulled Emma away from her shoulder. "Geroge can you take her and change her clothes? I think there's another dress in the diaper bag." She asked her husband who was sitting quietly in the room. He nodded and walked over, taking Emma from Callie. He walked over to the bag and sure enough there was another dres in the bag. George guessed it was from the baby shower. He changed Emma and held her in his arms. Callie then got an idea. "Babe, how about you take Emma to see Meredith. I'm sure she would like to see her before we go home." she said to him. He nodded and thought it was a great idea. meredith had literally fallen in love with emma. She came by to see her and Callie almost everyday since Emma was born. "Come on princess, let's go see Aunt Meredith." he said, walking over to callie. He kissed her and Callie kissed Emma. "Mommy will see you in a little while." George grinned and left the two women alone.
Callie walked over to the bed where Addison was now sitting. She sat down beside her. "Addie, I know you're not fine. What's wrong." she asked. Addison looked up at her as tears began to fill her blue eyes. "You know, I envy you." she said, trying to laugh through her tears. Callie didn't know what to say. She just did the only thing she knew. She pulled Addison in for a hug. The smaller woman just cried in her arms. "Callie, this sucks. I see you with Emma nd I just hurt more. I mean I'm ahppy for you. Ecstatic actually but I just want a baby of my own. I want what you have." she explained through her sobs, soaking Callie's shirt. "Addie, I'm so sorry. Hey look at it this way. You can have Emma anytime you want and when you don't want her anymore you just give her back." callie said, trying to make her feel better. Addison laughed and pulled away from Callie. "I know. You always know how to make me feel better." she said. "I know, that why I'm the best friend." Callie said smiling. Addison just rolled her eyes and wiped away her remaining tears. "Callie?" she said. 'yeah?" callie responded. "You smell." she said, indicting that Callie was covered in baby vomit. "Is that really something to say to you best friend?" she said, joking. Addison just laughed. "Go change your shirt." Addison told her. "Ok, ok." she said, getting up and changed her shirt.
