Once Meredith had dropped Zola off at daycare she went to change into her dark blue scrubs and find out who her interns for the week were. When she checked the intern clipboard at the nearest nurses station she seen she had Lange,Bick and Collar. The only three females who had lasted this far into the year and would probably make it. She rounded the corner to the intern lounge. "Lange,Bick,Collar you're all with me lets go." She tended to snap at interns it made them stronger and toughened their skin up. They all hustled out after her for rounds.
When she had finished her rounds she sent the interns off to pick up labs or take patients for CT's and X-Rays or scut. It's not that she didn't like them but she knew that they needed it just like she'd needed it when she was an intern. She was finishing up paper work on her latest four surgeries when she heard someone clear their throat behind her. She twirled her chair around and found Megan Collar her intern for the week in front of her. "Can I help you?" She inquired not sure why she was in front of her and not fetching labs. "I uh... I picked up labs and they don't look to well I thought you'd like to take a look ." The short brown haired girl piped up handing Meredith the labs in question. "Well they do looks little questionable but we'll keep an eye on him and see how it goes" she said handing back the papers and turning to finish her work.
She had finished her paper work 7 minuets before she picked up Zola so they could meet Derek for lunch so she quickly shoved the papers into the right folders and rushed down to the hospitals daycare. "Hi ZoZo were gonna have lunch with daddy today." Meredith told the little girl while signing her out. She took the stairs down to the lobby and walked down the back hallways to the cafeteria. She walked into the cafeteria and spotted Derek who waved them over. "Hi Zola" he said standing up to take her from Meredith. He kissed her cheek and she smiled. "How's work going?" He asked Meredith trying to get Zola to stay seated in her booster chairs in the chair next to him. "It's going fine but I'm really tired today!" She laughed and grabbed the apple that was on the tray in front of him that he'd picked up for them. "Yea no kidding I'm exhausted" he said handing Zola a couple of French fries. "At least Zola looks well rested" he said smiling at Meredith and handing Zola more fries.
When they had finished eating lunch and Meredith had a patient to check on Derek said he would take Zola back to daycare. Once Meredith had said her good byes to them both they headed upstairs in the elevator. "Zo this elevator is special because I proposed to mommy right here!" He said poking her belly and making her laugh. When the got to the daycare he signed Zola back in and promised her that as soon as he was done that he would be right back on his way to pick her up. He kissed her cheek and set her down to go find Sophia in the corner looking at a book.
It was another 9 hours before he could keep his promise to Zola and go and get her to take her home. He expected her to be asleep when he got down to the day care but he was wrong she was sitting on the window sill looking out,as if she knew he'd still be coming to get her. When she seen him turn the corner she smiled big and hopped off the ledge and ran to the door. He picked her up and kissed her face all over making her squeak with laughter." See Zo I said I'd be back" he told her while checking her out and grabbing her bag from the staff. She wasn't the last kid today but sometimes she is and it makes him feel guilty. "Have you had dinner already?" He asked to which she shook her head no. But he's sure that even if she had she'd still say no, that girl could put away food anytime you set it in front of her. He had a nurse page Meredith so she could say good night to Zola.
"Remember to give her that cough medicine because she's been coughing lately and I don't want her to get sick and remember to give her an ice cube when she takes it since she can't have water right after it the ice cube helps her take her mind off the taste and..." Derek held his hand up "this is my baby too Meredith I'm sure we can figure this out. It's not the first time we've been alone with out you" he reminded her. "You're right there's nothing to worry about. Well I've got to stay here till around 7 in the morning so ill head home around then but you'll be here already but could you bring Zola with you so I can get some house work done." She asked handing Zola back to him and kissing him. " yes I can do that" he said smiling and taking Zola "we'll be fine its ok go on we'll be here in the morning and ill find you so she can say good morning okay" he told her as the elevator doors closed and they started going down.
