Chap 21 I own nothing.
Kate looked around her apartment. The bags from their trip were scattered all over the floor.
"Alright Daniel, here are the plans for the day. You are going to go in your little swingy thing while I unpack all of this stuff. And then we are going to go meet Jackson for lunch and tonight… you have a date with three gorgeous ladies. So, let's get the party started." Kate said walking over to the baby swing and putting Daniel in it. She then turned on the swing. She walked over to the pile of bags she had dropped last night and began to take all of the items out of the bag.
Down the hall, Callie had Arizona pinned up against the front door of their apatment.
"We're (kiss) going (kiss) have a (kiss kiss) baby." Callie said her hands were searching Arizona's body. Arizona had her fingers tangled in Callie's dark hair. Arizona pushed Callie, and backed her onto the couch. They made love for most of the morning before their stomachs got the best of them at about 10:30.
"How are we going to do this? Do you want to pick someone we know and trust or should we go to the sperm bank and pick a random donor?" Arizona asked Callie as she took a bite of her waffle.
"I don't know Arizona, what do you think? I mean if we know the guy we could know his health backgroud of course if we don't then we wouldn't have to deal with baby daddy." Callie said.
"Surely there would be know issue there."
"You never know… all I know is I don't want it to be Mark if that's where you were going with that." Callie said.
"I was sort of… but why not Mark? We know him, we could easily know his health background… why not him?"
"Because he would try to have some sort of stake in it… he wants his own kids, and I don't think giving up his sperm for his 2nd child to his best friend and her girlfriend will go over real swimmingly." Callie said with a laugh.
"Ok well who did you have in mind?"
"I think a sperm donor… I have been looking into some places already and a lot of them have to do back ground checks and things like that before you can be put on the donor list. This way everything is sort of taken care of that way." Callie explained.
"Ok… I think that that is a legit argument. I'm so happy Calliope. You have no idea."
"I have a very big idea, I'm that happy too." Callie said smiling at Arizona. "Your sister, P.S., has made a huge turn around…"
"What do you mean?" Arizona asked.
"Well it was what like a few months ago when she came here with nothing but some clothes and her car and now she has her own apartment, a gorgeous baby boy, and a boyfriend that she loves and he loves her just as much. I mean… could things get any better for her really? And on top of that, I can tell that she is just, she's made herself better. And I personally, am proud of who she has become. It's like she was still learning who she was, she was still learning about who she wanted to be. And I love her as if she were my own sister."
"Callie, that is really sweet…" Arizona smiled at her fiance. I'm really happy the wirlwind called Kate has really touched you that much."
A few hours later…
Kate lugged Daniel's car seat into the front entrance of the hospital.
"Hey Ms. Kate I didn't know you were back to work yet." Jim the front security guard stopped her at the door.
"Oh I'm not back just yet Jim. I'm meeting Dr. Avery for lunch." Kate smiled at the older man.
"Is this the little man? I've heard Dr. Avery talk about him, oh and your sister. She is a proud Aunt!"
"Yeah this is Daniel." Kate said pulling the blanket down from Daniels' face.
"Well if he aint' a Robbins I don't know who is." Jim said smiling at Kate. "You have a good luch Kate."
"Thanks Jim, I'll see you in a bit." Kate said walking off towards the cafeteria. Once there she saw Jackson sitting alone at a table. He saw her and rushed over to take Daniel's car seat from her. He leaned down and kissed her.
"Hey, I'm so glad you came for lunch… it's been a rough morning already." Jackson said leading her back over to the table he was at when they walked in. Jackson put Daniel's car seat in an empty seat and then sat down. Kate sat down across from him.
"What all has happened this morning?" Kate asked.
"Well I had to go into surgery this morning at 8 and there were so many complications we had to close him up and put him in ICU till he becomes stablized. How has your morning been?"
"Well, I cleaned the apartment and unloaded all the stuff I brought home and oh… my sister and Callie are going to have a baby." Kate said nonchlantly.
"Really now?" Jackson asked. "Wait… how does that happen?"
"They aren't like right now… they just, decided. But don't say anything… I know how gossip goes in this hospital. Ridiculous place. So, what's for lunch today?" Kate asked. She smiled at Jackson who got up to go get them both a salad and drink. Right when he got back with their food Daniel began crying loudly. "Oh… Daniel…" Kate picked him up and rocked him from side to side. "Jackson, can you get his bottle out of his bag?"
"Of course… he would start crying for lunch when we start eating our own lunch" Jackson laughed and handed Kate the bottle.
"That is a baby for you." Miranda Bailey said as she walked up from behind Kate.
"Hi Dr. Bailey how are you?" Jackson asked taking a bite of lunch.
"Oh, a little birdy told me that this baby was here visiting and Dr. Robbins has told me so much about him I had to come see him… good lord you can tell he is a Robbins… look at that blonde hair."
"Yeah that he is…" Kate said smiling at the woman.
"When will your sister be back from her break? I have a few cases I need to talk to her about." Bailey asked. "Oh and Avery when you are done with lunch I have a a case for you as well."
"I think that she and Callie will be back day after tomorrow." Kate answered.
"Ok… well you two have, well three, have a good lunch!" Bailey said walking away.
"Oh… how I miss having extremely uneventful lunches" Kate said lookig down at Daniel who was quietly taking his bottle.
"Do you want me to take him? Ya know so you can eat?" Jackson asked taking a bite of his salad.
"No honey I've got him. You eat and I'll feed him and eat. It sounds like you need to hurry and get back to work so I got him." Kate said smiling. She put Danie's bottle under her chin and took a bite of salad. "You know I am excited to come back to work in a week."
"How come?"
"Because I miss all the staring eyes and whispering nurses here." Kate laughed.
Jackson looked around and noticed that more than half of the cafeteria had their eyes on the couple.
"Good gosh… I am sorry." Jackson apologized.
"Why? It's hilarious… really." Kate said. "I can hear them now… Kate Robbins is a terrible mom she left her baby up for adoption and moves to Seattle to live with her sister and falls in love with Dr. Avery who thinks that he is the father of her baby when really it's Mark Sloan who is still madly in love with her… I mean come on nurses… get a life." Kate said the last part just loud enough for the people around them to hear.
"You're crazy… you know that right?" Jackson smiled at her.
"Crazy wouldn't be the worst thing I've been called." Kate smiled at him and then looked down at Daniel who was asleep. "Oh thank you lord…" She placed the sleeping baby back in his car seat and then looked at Jackson. "We have to find a baby sitter. I work 5 days a week and your schedule is crazy and I really don't want to put him on my sister and Callie's watch… we have to find someone who will watch him when you have to work. Like when you are on call or here…"
"What about the nursery down the hall… it's for staff he could stay there when I have to work." Jackson explained.
"Oh that would be perfect. I completely forgot about that being there." Kate said. "I could go talk to them while I'm here and just tell them that when you have to work he'll be here or do you want him to come here every day… or you can decide later. Why am I rambling?"
Jackson laughed at his girlfriend. "I would like to watch him honestly."
"Really?"
"I mean… yeah of course. He is… he's my son in my eyes he is mine and I want him to stay with me when I'm off."
And with that, Kate knew that one day she would be with Jackson forever.
