I guess I should have been saying this all along, but I think it's obvious, I do not own Greys Anatomy or Private Practice! However, I'm stoked that there is a new Greys on tonight
The next morning after eating breakfast Zoey logged onto the computer looking for cribs and nursery sets. After about two hours she finally found the perfect one, it was a white sleigh crib that came with lavender sheets that matched the walls perfectly. There was also a glider rocker and a changing table that came with it, along with a few little decorations. Feeling satisfied that her baby would now have a place to sleep, Zoey decided to go for a walk on the beach. She had been walking for about twenty minutes when she felt a sharp pain course through her stomach. At first she thought it was just the baby kicking but when the pain happened again, and worse she was a little worried. She made her way back towards her house, wanting to call her mom and ask what was wrong.
Sam had taken the day off today to just be able to relax around the house. He was on the deck, looking out at the beach when he noticed Zoey walking somewhat in his direction. He didn't pay much attention to her at first, but soon realized that she was holding onto her stomach and looked to be in pain. He quickly ran over to where she was, about halfway up the beach to the house.
"Zoey, are you ok?" he asked. She looked up, relieved when she saw him.
"My stomach hurts really bad. It's worse than anything I've ever felt."
"Let's get you inside." He swiftly led her inside to the couch. He got her a bottle of water and made her drink it, "Are you dizzy or nauseous?" he asked.
"I'm really dizzy. I can't really see straight." She groaned as the pain hit again.
"I'm calling Addison," before he had even finished talking he had dialed her number. He quickly told her what was going on and she instructed him to bring her to the ER and she would meet them there. He hung up the phone, "Ok, come on. We're going to the hospital."
"Why? What's wrong with the baby?" Zoey asked worriedly.
"I don't know. I'm sure that everything will be fine. But we gotta get you to the hospital."
"It hurts too much," she said as she tried to get off the couch. Without hesitating Sam picked her up off the couch. Even when she was pregnant she was still tiny and easy to carry. He carried her to his car and ran back inside to grab his keys then drove franticly to the hospital. Addison met them outside and followed Sam as he carried her in. He laid her on a bed and Addison quickly began doing tests to try and find out what was wrong.
"Ok, you're going to need surgery," Addison continued talking, telling her what was wrong, but once she had hear the word surgery she stopped listening.
"Is the baby going to be ok?" Zoey asked, starting to cry, worried that something would happen to the baby.
"If we get you into surgery soon," Addison started ordering nurses around, telling them to prep Zoey for surgery while she scrubbed in. She looked at Sam, "Stay with her, I'm going to go scrub in."
"Of course."
Addison ran to the locker room and was changing into some spare scrubs then turned to go scrub in, but ran into Charlotte.
"I can't let you do the surgery Addison." She had been at the practice when Addison had gotten the call and rushed over.
"What do you mean I can't do the surgery? Of course I can! She is my daughter!"
"Which is exactly why you can't do it. You know that family can't treat family Addison. You have to let Dr. Smith do it."
"But Dr. Smith isn't the best! I'm the best! And my daughter deserves the best."
"I know you're the best. But you can't do the surgery Addison. Dr. Smith is a very competent surgeon and will take very good care of Zoey." Addison and Charlotte stared each other down for a minute or two before Addison broke down.
"I want to watch. And you can't stop me from doing that!" Addison walked away towards the OR gallery before Charlotte could answer. Charlotte sighed and walked to the waiting room. Everyone else from the practice was currently waiting for her. They had all been in the room when Addison got the call and rushed over, so they had all followed, specifically Amelia and Naomi.
"IS she going to be ok?" Amelia asked as soon as she saw Charlotte.
"She's going into surgery right now," Charlotte told them what was wrong with her and Naomi stepped in to give an explanation of what it was. They all sat there quietly for a moment before Amelia spoke up again,
"I have to call Derek." She said simply, getting up and leaving the building, knowing she would get better reception outside.
"I don't have a lot of time Amelia, what's up?" Derek asked as soon as he picked up. Amelia took a deep breath trying to calm herself. "Amelia? What's wrong?"
"Zoeys in the hospital Derek. She's about to go into surgery." She was met with silence on the other end, "Derek?"
"I'll be there as soon as I can. I'm going to the airport now. What's wrong with her?" Amelia told him what she had been told by Naomi,
"Naomi says the surgery could be anywhere from one to four hours."
"Is Addison doing the surgery?"
"Charlotte wouldn't let her. She refuses to leave the gallery though."
"Alright, I'll be there as soon as I can."
"Ok, call me when you land."
"Alright." He hung up without saying another word. Derek had made his way to his office as soon as Amelia had told him that Zoey was in the hospital. He grabbed his keys and ran as fast as he could through the hospital, only stopping when Meredith called his name.
"Where are you going?"
"Airport. Zoey is in surgery right now. I have to go."
"Do you want me to come with you?" she asked, knowing he might need the support.
"But you have to work," he said as a lame attempt to dissuade her from going with him.
"Doesn't matter. Let me just go grab my other clothes and I will meet you in the car." Derek smiled, thankful to have such a supportive and understanding wife. They both ran in opposite directions then met back at the car, making it to the airport in record time. By some stroke of luck thy got the last two seats on a plane leaving for LA in ten minutes. Since they didn't have any bags to check they were able to get through security and onto the plane just as they were about to close the doors.
Almost two hours later Meredith and Derek ran through the airport, managing to catch a taxi right away. They soon arrived at the hospital and ran inside. He saw Amelia and went over to the group she was sitting with.
"How is she?" he asked. Amelia got up and hugged her brother.
"Still in surgery. Naomi went back a few minutes ago to see how it was going."Right as she said it Amelia came back out,
"She's out of surgery. She's going to be fine." There was a collective sigh,
"I want to see her," Derek said.
"When did you get here?" Naomi asked.
"Just now."
"Oh. Well come on, I'll show you where her room is." Derek followed Naomi, leaving Meredith in the waiting room with everyone from LA.
Derek walked into the room quickly to see Addison sitting next to Zoeys bed reading a chart.
"Hey," he said softly. She looked up surprised.
"what are you doing here?" she asked.
Amelia called me. I came here straight away. Is she ok?" Addison got up and nodded.
"She's going to be fine. She'll just have to be on bed rest for a while. Probably until the baby is born."
"She's not going to like that," he said, thinking of how his daughter always hated sitting still.
"Well if it keeps her and the baby safe then she's just gonna have to suck it up." Derek could see how tired Addison was. Without saying anything he pulled her into his arms and held her tight.
"This reminds me of the time she had appendicitis." Derek said.
"Oh god, that was awful. Only this time you only had to fly to LA, not New York."
"When is she going to be awake?"
"Should be soon. How long are you going to be in LA?"
"As long as she needs me." He paused, "Meredith came with me, I hope you don't mind."
"Why would I mind? It's fine."
"Good." They talked for a little while longer until Zoey finally woke up.
"Mom?" she asked, still a little groggy.
"Hey sweetie, how are you feeling?"
"Fine. How's the baby?"
"She'll be fine too. You're both going to be fine."
"She?" Derek asked, causing Zoey to notice him for the first time.
"What are you doing here?" Zoey asked, worried that he would still be mad.
"You're in the hospital Zo. Of course I'm going to be here. You're having a girl?"
"Yepp, a little baby girl," Derek's face paled quickly.
"She can't call me grandpa." He said seriously, causing Addison and Zoey to start laughing.
"Mom said the same thing. What's so wrong with being called grandma and grandpa?"
I'm too young to be called grandma," Addison said, Derek nodded in agreement.
"Neither of us look like a grandpa or grandma."
"It's a good thing she won't be able to talk for a while. You two will have plenty of time to come up with something she can call you. She's not calling you Addison and Derek her whole life.
"We will deal with that when we get there." Derek agreed.
"So how long do I have to stay here?"
"A few days. But when you get home you are going to be one bed rest," Addison told her.
"Excuse me? I can't do bed rest!"
"Well you're going to have to if you want a healthy baby," Addison said, knowing she would do anything for her baby. Zoey sighed,
"Can I at least be on bed rest at the practice? That way there are people around and I won't be bored at home all day?"
"We will talk about it later. I have a feeling your Aunt is about ready to kill someone if we don't let her back here soon." Addison went out to the waiting room, telling everyone they could come back and that she was awake.
"Finally!" Amelia was the first to jump up and rush back to the room. She ran inside and stopped short, "I am going to kill you for scaring me like that," she said threateningly, then added as an afterthought, "After the baby is born of course."
"Thanks Amy," Zoey said laughing. Everyone stayed in the room for a little while before they all started to get hungry and decided to leave to let Zoey get some rest. Finally it was just Addison, Amelia, Derek, and Meredith left in the room.
"I guess we should go find a hotel room," Derek said.
"No. you guys can stay with us. We've got an empty room."
"It's not really empty anymore mom. I mean you can get to the bed and everything, but it has all the baby stuff in it."
"Right. Well you guys can just sleep with all the baby stuff. You don't have to get a hotel."
"Addison you don't have to do that."
"I know. I want you to stay there though."
"Alright, we will stay."
"I'll take you there," Addison said, "You get some rest and call if you need anything." They said goodnight then Addison drove Derek and Meredith to her house, showing them the room. "Sorry about all the baby things. I just can't get Zoey to stop buying stuff." Derek looked at her oddly,
"I doubt that it's Zoey who bought all of this. Amelia told me that you guys buy everything you see."
Why is there a bunch of boy stuff? I thought she was having a girl? Meredith asked.
"We didn't know she was having a girl until yesterday, so we just wanted to be prepared." Addison explained. She bid them good night as well and then went to bed.
So there you have it, chapter thirteen, I don't know if I will be able to update again over the next few days so I decided to go ahead and put two chapters up. Let me know what you think!
