There are a few more Seattle people in here, but I need them to fill the space until LA people get here. Hope you like it
REVIEW PLEASE!
Derek Walked around the hospital looking for his wife and daughter. No one had seen them for a couple hours and he was slightly worried. He walked into the basement and found his daughter asleep against his wife, who was writing in some charts.
"Meredith." He said to get her attention.
"Hey, what's up?"
"Is she ok?" he asked, nodding towards Zoey. Meredith sighed,
"She's hurting Derek. You and Addison are both mad at her. She's just scared."
"Well she made a choice and she has to live with that choice. I'm gonna take her home, are you coming with us or are you gonna stay later?"
"Bailey asked me to be on call tonight, so I'm just gonna stay here."
"Alright, I will see you in the morning then." He gave her a kiss then just stared at Zoey.
"What are you doing?" Meredith asked, confused.
"She's nearly impossible to wake up once she falls asleep. And if you do wake her up she's grumpy, really really grumpy and mean and rude." He groaned, not wanting to wake Zoey up for the reasons he just mentioned, but also because he knew she needed sleep. "Would it be terrible of me to just let her sleep here tonight? An on call room is a lot closer than the car and her bedroom. I can carry her to an on call room."
"Then let her sleep here. If she is as deep a sleeper s you say she is then she won't even notice." Derek nodded and picked Zoey up off the bed, "Derek I think we should talk."
"Not now Meredith. It's not a good time," Derek said, walking away without another word. Meredith sighed, she had wanted to talk to Derek about Zoey and how he was reacting, but instead she just watched as he walked away.
When Zoey woke up the next morning she could tell that she was in an on call room. She had only spent a handful of nights in them when her parents were working, but they all looked the same. Wondering why she was in a crappy bed rather than her comfy one at home she sat up, before she could make it any further though she threw up suddenly into the trash can besides her bed. After twenty minutes of nausea she finally felt well enough to get up. She checked herself in the mirror to make sure she didn't look terrible, then left the room in search of a bottle of water and a toothbrush. Because she didn't have any money on her she went to the cafeteria, hoping that the workers would give her something anyway.
She grabbed a bottle of water and went to the register, thankfully the woman who was working there right now knew her and let her have the water, saying she would charge Derek for it the next time he was there. The cafeteria was mostly empty since it was still early, so she sat down at one of the more secluded tables. She took a drink of water then laid her head on the table, closing her eyes. She had no idea how long she had been like that for when she heard someone walk up to her. She kept her eyes closed, hoping whoever it was would go away. No such luck,
"What are you doing?" the person asked, she recognized the voice of one of the doctors, Alex Karev.
"Wondering if I just ignore you if you will go away?" Zoey said shortly. Alex laughed and sat down,
"I thought you were in LA for the summer with your mom." Zoey lifted her head and looked at him.
"Obviously not anymore."
"Why'd you come back?" he asked.
"None of your damn business Alex." Zoey had known most of the doctors here since she moved with Derek when she was 11. He didn't hire a nanny, but he didn't think that she was old enough to stay home alone either. So his only solution was to bring her to the hospital. He tried to keep her in his office, but she often left when he was busy and explored the hospital. She had been a very charming eleven year old and was quickly friends with all the doctors and nurses. She had gotten to know Alex better over the years since he was friends with her father's girlfriend and ended up being around a lot.
"Did ya get in trouble?" he asked teasingly.
"Go away Alex!" Zoey didn't feel like talking to anyone right now, but Alex didn't go anywhere.
"I think I'll stay here." He said, smirking. Zoey stood up,
"Fine, I'll leave then." She grabbed her water and walked out of the cafeteria. She thought about going to Derek's office, but decided against it since he was mad at her. Instead she went to the locker room. She wanted to change clothes, she had worn these on the plane and they smelled slightly like vomit. She could usually fit into Meredith's clothes, she knew since she stole them on occasion, but today she couldn't button up the jeans like usual and the sweater was a little too tight. She sighed and put her hand on her stomach. Instead of stealing clothes from another doctor she went to the closet where they kept the spare scrubs and grabbed some of those instead. After she got dressed she began to wander around again, wondering what she was supposed to do in the hospital all day. After wandering around for about an hour and talking to various people she made her way up to the pediatric floor. Without realizing it she had made her way to the nursery. She stood, staring in the window, at all the newborn babies. She was deep in thought when someone came up behind her.
"Zoey?" the person asked. Zoey turned around to see Callie Torres.
"Hey Callie." Zoey smiled, Callie was friends with her mom, so she had gotten to know her very well. "What are you doing on peads?" she asked the doctor.
"Just came up too see Arizona. Why are you up here?"
"Uh, I don't know. I was just wandering." Zoey said nervously. Callie was about to respond, but her pager went off.
"911, I gotta go. I'll see you later though." Callie said, running towards the elevators. Zoey was relieved to be alone again, but quickly left the pediatric floor. She took the elevator back to the surgical floor and had barley stepped off before she ran right into Derek.
"Sorry dad." She said. He walked her back into the elevator and closed the doors. "What are you doing?" she asked, very confused.
"Have you had any tests done yet? For the baby?" he asked curtly.
"Um, well, Aunt Naomi took blood, but I kind of left before she could even get any results back. Why? I thought you were mad at me?"
"Oh trust me, I am still very very mad at you. But I want you to see Dr. Fields, the obgyn here at the hospital."
"I don't feel like seeing a doctor right now dad.
"Well that's just too bad, because you don't have a choice. I am your father and you have to do what I say. And I say you have to go see a doctor."
"Whatever dad," she said with an attitude. They got off the elevator and walked into an exam room, all the while Derek was looking around; making sure no one saw them. Zoey rolled her eyes, "Could you be any more obvious dad?"
"What are you talking about?" Zoey ignored him. When they walked into the room Lucy Fields was waiting for them. She had the ultrasound machine all set up and needles ready to draw blood. Zoey had never met this doctor before, since she had started working at the hospital after Zoey left for LA. They introduced themselves and Zoey got up on the exam table, flashing back to the last time she had an ultrasound.
"Uh, do you think we could maybe lock the door?" she asked. Derek and Lucy looked at her oddly.
"Why?" Derek asked. Zoey shrugged.
"I'm just more comfortable that way." Derek looked at her for a second before going over and locking the door. "Thanks."
"Alright, I'm going to take some blood first and then we can put a rush on the results so we won't have to wait that long. Then we can do the ultrasound. Sound good?" Dr. Fields asked.
"Sure." Was all Zoey said. She sat quietly while the blood was taken and then lifted her shirt for the ultrasound.
"Ready?" Dr. Fields asked. Zoey nodded. She put the wand to Zoeys stomach and after a few seconds of her moving it around a picture finally appeared on screen. "Alright, there is your baby. See, there's the head, and its nose. And there is an arm." She continued pointing to different body parts
"Oh my god," Zoey said, her voice shaking, "It's so little. Its head is like bigger than its body! Is that a bad thing?" she asked worriedly.
"Not at all. It's completely normal for the head to be bigger than the body at first. They grow into them." Zoey nodded. "Now, the baby does look a little small, but that could be just because you are so young. Babies born to young moms, especially first time moms, will be slightly smaller than the rest. You just need to make sure to eat right and stay healthy and your baby should be fine."
"OK." Zoey whispered, still staring at the screen.
"I'm just gonna go check on those blood tests." Dr. Fields said, leaving the father and daughter alone in the room together. Zoey turned to look at Derek, who had been quiet the whole tine.
"Dad?" Derek ignored her, "Dad! Are you going to say something?"
"No." Derek said, walking out of the room, leaving Zoey by herself. For what seemed like the millionth time, Zoey began to cry. She had thought that Derek might at least accept her being pregnant, especially once he saw the baby. Not wanting to wait for Dr. Fields to get back with the test results she wiped the gel off her stomach and left the room.
Twenty minutes later Zoey had composed herself and cleaned up. She was now sitting in the cafeteria again, she had been starving since she left the exam room. She was sitting at a table with Callie and Arizona, neither of them knew she was pregnant. She had been sitting there for a few minutes when she caught a flash of black hair by the doors. When she looked closer she realized that Amelia was standing there, looking for someone. Smiling, Zoey quickly got up and started walking towards Amelia,
"Amy!" she called loudly. Amelia turned and looked, grinning when she saw her niece. Zoey quickened her pace and soon let Amelia wrap her arms around her. Zoey held onto Amelia tightly, not wanting to let go. Without being able to control it she started to cry again, causing Amelia to hold her tighter. She led Zoey out of the cafeteria and into an on call room.
"It's ok," she whispered soothingly, over and over, stroking Zoeys hair while she cried. She finally stopped crying and looked at Amelia.
"What are you doing here?" she asked, sniffling.
"I thought you might need a friend."
"I'm so glad you're here!" Zoey said, hugging Amelia again.
"You're mom's here too. So is Naomi."
"What? Why?"
"Well, for one thing, to kick your butt for leaving without telling her. You almost gave her a heart attack Zo. But she's also sorry for yelling at you. She wants to talk to you. We all tried calling, but you weren't answering your phone. So the best solution seemed to be just come to Seattle."
"Dad took my phone when he met me at the airport. Mom called him I guess and told him everything. And now he isn't talking to me either."
"He'll come around. Let's go find your mom, she's probably looking for you."
"Ok. Do you know where she is?"
"Not at all. I'll call her though." Amelia took out her phone and called Addison. After a short conversation Amelia hung up.
"She's waiting for us at the nurses' station. Come one." The two left the on call room and made their way around the corner to the nurses' station. Zoey could see Addison talking to someone, she couldn't tell who though since she was standing in front of them. "Addison." Amelia called over to her. Addison turned around and saw Zoey standing with Amelia. When she turned she saw that Addison had been talking to Callie.
"Zoey." Addison said. She walked over to where Zoey had stopped and hugged her. "Oh baby, I'm so sorry. I don't know what I was thinking. I shouldn't have told you to leave. We should have talked about it. But I was just mad and I couldn't think straight." Before Addison could say anymore Zoey interrupted,
"Mom, you're kinda suffocating me." Addison let go slightly, but still held on
"Sorry. I'm so so sorry Zo. I love you so much." Zoey started to answer, but she was the one interrupted this time.
"Addison? What are you doing here?" Zoey turned around to see Derek standing behind her. Addison let go of Zoey and stepped towards Derek slightly.
"It's good to see you too Derek." Addison said tensely. Zoey and Amelia watched the two of them,
"Get ready for World War Three." Amelia said.
So what did you think? Kind of a lame way to end it, but it worked for me. So I lied, the next chapter will be the last one in Seattle and then they will go back to LA. I have figured out how to post chapters from my phone, but that means that I have to write the entire chapter ON my phone, I can't just send it there. And since I have a touch screen it might be a little hard to type all of it on there. So I will try, but that would mean that I could update more often. So we will see.
Let me know what you think! The reviews really really help!
