"Alrighty Zo mama just has to go and change then we can get outta here!" Meredith said walking back up the stairs towards the attending's lounge. "Grey we've got an incoming trauma,five car pile-up all hands on deck which includes you!" half yelled running down the stairs. "I've kinda got a baby right now" Meredith yelled back panicking about what she was going to do with Zola "I'll take her of you need someone to watch her" Alex said walking up behind her and smiling. "It's just a bunch of people with massive injuries which will put you in the OR for about 9 hours give or take I can handle a kid that long Meredith. I've done it before" he said taking Zola out of her arms. " yea I know but still its a long time and she'll be tired and she'll need.." Alex cut her off holding his hand up " I know how to handle a kid she can sleep in an empty rom upstairs and ill feed her and hang out with her it's no big deal!" He said pushing her along "you've got to go or Bailey will never let you hear the end of it" he said holding Zola's hand up and waving "say bye to your mom Zo" Meredith kissed Zola's check and waved back"I'll be done soon!" she tried to assure them and herself.
Alex walked up to the third floor and turned right walking into the NICU. "Alright Zo this is the NICU with babies so we've got to quiet" he whispered "can you be quiet for me?" He asked holding a finger to his lips and set her things down on the floor by the door. "Ok this is Hunter he was born early 6 weeks early! So he has to stay here till he gets bigger and strong just like you." Alex said walking over to the first incubator and tickling Zola's belly making her giggle. He walked to the next incubator and smiled "This is Carly she was born with a heart defect and had to have surgery when she was only 3 days old. She was early too she was 11 weeks early." He said reaching in and holding the baby's hand. He walked to the next incubator that was pushed up close to Carly's. "This is Adam her twin brother who was born early too because of her defect they had to deliver them both." Alex said smiling at Zola and walking to the last incubator that was occupied. "This one in here she's special. She has the same birthday as I do." He said smiling "she's all alone her mommy didn't want her so I'm taking care of her." He said sadly thinking that in a few weeks she'd have to leave and be put into the system. "Her name is Rosie. Because she was pink almost red when she was born!" He said smiling as he remembered the day she was born and then four days later when Robbins said he could name her since her mom had ditched her.
It was about 5:45 when Zola finally said she was hungry so Alex told his intern for the day to watch the babies and to page him if anything happened. "Alright Zo do you want the nasty cafeteria food or some yummy food from Joe's?" He asked the little girl toddling along next to him hopping from blue to green tiles. She looked up and smiled "num" she said hopping faster."Alright Joe's it is he said"walking back into the NICU from the hallway and getting her jacket and diaper bag.
When they walked into Joe's it was a bit crowded but not to bad like it was on the weekends. "What looks good Zo?" He asked handing her Meredith's ipad knowing she'd say Mac-N-cheese like she always said when she was there. The waitress Joe had hired about a year ago named Amy walked over to take their order. " I'll have a cheeseburger with the works and a beer and the kid wants Mac and cheese with milk." He told her taking Zola's jacket off and rolling up her sleeves. He watched the football game that was on the closest tv to their both while she played games on the ipad. When the waitress came back with their drinks he poured Zola's milk into her sippy cup and screwed the lid back on making sure it was tight before he gave it to her. Alex took out his phone and seen a text from Meredith saying that she was still in surgery and that Derek had to take on the the crash victims up to OR 3 so he'd be awhile to. She also asked if he wouldn't mind watching Zola for longer than she expected. He sent her a text saying that he was ok with that and that he took her to Joe's for dinner. When he was done checking his messages their food was on the way to the table so he put his phone away. "Zola our food is here can I have the game so we can eat please" he asked holding out his hand for the ipad. She complied putting the ipad in his hand and smiling. He put the game away and took out a bib and toddler fork from the bag snapping the bib to her chest so he didn't have to change her till bedtime and handing her the fork.
Once they had finished dinner and Zola had ice cream he packed her up and took her back to the hospital. "Zola do you wanna push the button?" He asked her when they got to the elevator. She stuck her hand out and he bent down so she could push the up button. When they got to the third floor he stopped by the nurses station and asked his intern if anything had happened and then told her that he was going to put Zola down and would check in with her later. He walked down the hallway to an empty room and set her things down. He set her on the bed and dug out her pajamas from the bag and set them next to her."alright Zo arms up" he instructed pulling the shirt over her head and grabbing the pajama shirt and slipping it on. "Look Zo its got stars on it like the sky" he said poking her belly making her laugh. He stood her up and pulled the pant legs off pulling her new ones on. "And look more stars and a moon!" He said putting her clothes from the day in the diaper bag and setting it on the floor. "Wanna watch a movie till bed?" He asked while she laid down and curled into a ball on her side holding out her hand for her blanket and giraffe that were in her back no matter where she went. "Alright let's see whats on" he said grabbing the remote and sitting in the chair next to her reaching over and switching the lights off.
